The NBA started with helping Iverson win the championship

Chapter 11 He should be glad Rasheed wasn't there

Seeing Li Xun hastily deny it, an old fox like Dumas stopped talking.

"Son, we have been remiss in failing to discover your talent."

"I can assure you that we will definitely train you as the core of the team in the future."

Li Xun was a little disapproving after hearing this.

Anyone can draw big cakes. After all, the NBA is a business.

Once one's own strength declines seriously, let alone big cakes, you won't even be able to eat a bowl of porridge.

"Also, we are going to terminate your two-way contract early."

"And then, for the rest of the season, give you a new $400 million contract."

"As for the contract for next season, because of the Arenas clause, we have the priority to match."

"Anyway, no matter how much other teams give, we can always match it."

Dumars' meaning is very clear, that is to finish the season first.

Li Xun nodded. If he wanted to leave the Pistons, now is actually the best time to leave.

Because once this season is over, he will become a restricted free agent at that time. According to the restrictions of the Arenas clause, he will not be able to leave even if he wants to.

But Li Xun has no intention of leaving the Pistons.

The Pistons team is very suitable for me. Instead of taking risks with other teams, it is better to stay.

Anyway, the money earned will not be less than other teams.

As for the $400 million contract given by the Pistons, it is indeed a bit small.

Li Xun also knows Dumars' difficulties. The total salary of the Pistons this year has reached more than 7000 million US dollars.

And this year's salary cap is only 5800 million.

Being able to free up 400 million yuan of space may have caused Dumas a headache.

"no problem."

Li Xun is not a mother-in-law, so he agreed to Dumas on the spot.

Dumas finally heaved a sigh of relief as the stone fell to the ground.

Since he took the position of general manager of the Pistons in 2000, his achievements in these years are obvious to all.

It's a pity that the Pistons' record this year is really eye-catching compared to previous years.

Although Michael Curry will be the last one to sacrifice to heaven, he can't hang on the face of the famous Pistons.

Now Li Xun is the savior of the entire Pistons.

Can keep Li Xun smoothly, dare not say anything else, at least there is no problem in the playoffs this year.

"Buzz!"

The loud roar of the end of the game came from outside the locker room.

At this moment, system prompts sounded in Li Xun's mind one after another.

"Congratulations to the host, you have completed a C-level achievement, scored 30+15 data in a single game, and won a C-level lucky draw opportunity."

"Congratulations to the host, you have completed a B-level achievement, scored 30 rebounds in a single game, and won a B-level lottery chance."

"Do you want to draw now?"

Li Xun couldn't help but gasped.

Good guy, after one game, I got two chances to draw a lottery?

Originally, he thought that only when the system issued a task, would he have the chance to draw a lottery.

I didn't expect that when I cut down some winning data, I would also get a chance to draw a lottery.

But what surprised him was that the lottery was divided into levels.

The Cincinnati Royals Rebounding Skill he got before should be regarded as an S-level reward. The two lucky draw opportunities he got this time should not be able to draw such a heaven-defying skill.

Just when Li Xun was about to draw a lottery, all the Pistons who had finished the game rushed back to the locker room.

"Li, pack up quickly, and follow me to the post-match press conference later."

Coach Curry looked excited. They had just ushered in a hearty victory, beating the Nets by [-] points at home.

Li Xun is undoubtedly the hero of this game.

The miraculous six three-pointers are the icing on the cake.

And 30 rebounds is definitely a timely help.

With the current strength of the Pistons, without Li Xun's rebound protection, it is really not sure who wins or loses against the Nets.

The lineups of these two teams are actually somewhat similar. If Rasheed Wallace is included, the Pistons may be slightly stronger.

But now that Rashid is injured, the Nets may be slightly stronger.

Li Xun could only give up the idea of ​​drawing a lottery, took a shower, changed his clothes, and followed the coach to the press conference.

After arriving at the press conference, Li Xun sat beside Iverson with a carefree attitude.

"Li, a reporter will ask about the conflict on the field later."

"Have a better attitude and apologize to your opponent."

Michael Curry greeted Li Xun before the press conference started.

Li Xun frowned, "Boss, I can't do it."

"He did it first, why should I apologize?"

Curry's tongue tied when he asked this directly, and Iverson and Hamilton on the side couldn't help but laugh.

Looking at the stubborn Li Xun, the two thought of themselves when they were young.

Hamilton is okay. His role in the Grassroots Five Tigers is somewhat similar to Joe Dumars in the first generation of Bad Boys.

And when Iverson was young, he was definitely a super thorn.

"Mr. Li Xun, congratulations on playing a wonderful game."

"Can you tell us what happened on the court and why did you attack Brook?"

A reporter stood up and started asking questions.

Li Xun did not expect that this opening would directly target himself.

Just about to take the microphone to answer this question, Iverson didn't expect to grab the microphone directly.

"What happened on the field is clear at a glance."

"The young people in the Nets were impatient to lose. They attacked Li Xun first, but Li Xun just fought back."

"He should be glad he didn't meet me when I was young."

Iverson's face was full of anger, and he said indifferently.

Hamilton waited until Iverson finished speaking, took the microphone and spoke directly.

"That young man should be thankful that Rashid is not here, otherwise he would not have left so easily today."

"When is it time for other teams to push our Pistons players?"

Hamilton is the captain of the Pistons, and of course he has to stand up for his teammates.

The reporters in the audience couldn't help laughing wryly, Hamilton was right, fortunately Rashid was not there.

Otherwise things could really get out of hand.

Roaring Tianzun Rashid's temper is outrageous, and the consequences of angering him are unimaginable.

What many people don't know is that Rasheed is the only player in the NBA who dares to block the referee in the parking lot after the game.

This guy is so desperate that he even dares to mess with the referee, let alone a rookie like Da Luo.

After Big Ben and Billups left the team, although the captain was Hamilton, the spiritual totem of the Pistons was Rasheed.

Rasheed has a strong sense of belonging to the Pistons.

If he sees a rookie in his team being pushed and bullied, he won't be in a hurry.

Michael Curry couldn't help sweating on his back, it's a blessing, he doesn't want to see the Palace of Auburn Hills incident repeated.

Li Xun's mind is full of lottery draws now, and he doesn't bother to make friends with the reporters.

There are two lucky draw chances, one for class B and one for class C.

Li Xun is not too demanding, as long as he can get an offensive skill, even if it is a C-level, he is completely acceptable.
