Chapter 958 Join me, I will let you wear rings on one hand

The Los Angeles Lakers and the Chicago Bulls completed the transaction. The Lakers signed 1 million in one year and then exchanged for Gasol, and the Bulls sent Jimmy Butler + Kirk Hinrich + 1500 million in cash.The Bulls get Gasol, plus a $200 million trade exception.The Lakers' salary structure was suddenly narrowed again.

This is a win-win situation compared to trading ESPN, that is, both benefit, and they even think that the Bulls have taken advantage of it a little bit.

Because Butler is still a rookie and hasn't produced any good statistics, and his career honors are almost zero. Hinrich has also aged a long time ago, but Gasol played very well in the finals last season.With the addition of the Bulls, er, Arnold on the inside, it is equivalent to suddenly becoming the strongest inside combination in the East, plus Rose's return from injury, the combat effectiveness of this team cannot be underestimated.But Tang Qian knew that this was funny, at least for the next season, in his impression, Derrick Rose would still be a "glass man", with injuries and injuries, repeatedly, although he didn't know what would happen in the future, but Tang Qian is really not very optimistic about Rose's "full blood resurrection".why?The main reason is his playing style, which is very limited after the injury, and if he wants to recover, he will increase the risk of continued injury, so... it is better not to.

Besides, Rose's 3-point shooting is too bad. He also feels that the style of this kind of player is not suitable for him.

As the main outside attacker, Tang Qian hopes that in the future, he will be a person with 3-point shooting ability, so that his inside containment power will be maximized.Butler's three-pointers are also very ordinary, not stable, good and bad, but they are always much better than Rose.Furthermore, what Tang Qian values ​​most is his defensive ability. He was selected to the league's second defense last year. In his impression, Yuan Shikong was also selected to the best defensive team this year.Therefore, if the defensive ability is the top outside line in the league, if you cultivate it well, it is not impossible to become a big lock on the outside line.

He was fed up with the poor perimeter defense of the Lakers last season, and this season, it is bound to improve.

Jimmy Butler, that is, the best candidate.

This deal is very good. The management team did not work in vain during the offseason. It is hoped that they can recruit the rest of their recommended talents.

In that way, next season, the Lakers still have a chance to flex their muscles.

Having tasted the taste of holding a cup in reality, Tang Qian didn't feel that enough was enough like ordinary people. On the contrary, it made him more surging and "greedy" about this desire.Greed for the championship, greed for victory.

After returning to the United States, apart from completing a series of signing business activities, Tang Qian spent the rest of his time training. A player like him who has never been to a nightclub or a vacation during the offseason is one of the few players in the league.Taylor complained that he was going to be better than Kobe.

As for the "offseason invitations" of the other ladies, Tang Qian chose to politely refuse them. After all, he is now considered "the famous grass has a master" and is not suitable for "provoking grass and flowers".However, in Sestin's words, they are not married?It's just a relationship, so what?How many boyfriends has the airport singer changed?Who knows how long you have been with Tang Qianneng?Besides, it doesn't matter if you get married, isn't it possible to get a divorce after getting married? There are too many variables in the future, and she has no habit of sitting still.

In this regard, she is much more persistent than her older sister Sophia.

It's purely a matter of personality. Her personality is stronger and more competitive. Of course, you can also understand that she likes Tang Qian more deeply than her sister Sophia.

But Tang Qian didn't have the time to take care of this right now. His offense and strength and weight training had reached a breakthrough point, and he was short of a little more effort to enter a higher level.This offseason, he will work frantically to become the well-deserved leader of the Lakers.

At this time, the free market is changing rapidly. Nowitzki chose to renew his contract with the Mavericks with a substantial salary cut of 3 million in 2500 years. Vince Carter joined the Grizzlies for 3 million in 1200 years. Anthony still stayed with the Knicks. Gray Greg Monroe stayed in the Pistons, Chandler Parsons left the Rockets for 3 years and 4500 million to join the Dallas Mavericks, Kyle Lowry still chose to stay in the Toronto Raptors, he rejected the Lakers' offer Invited to join, Wade re-signed to stay in the Miami Heat.So far, more and more big fish have settled down, and the maneuverable space left for the Lakers seems to be running out.

On a certain night, the Lakers management informed Tang Qian that he would come to participate in the negotiation meeting tomorrow morning, and the target person, Chris Bosh.

When Tang Qian arrived early in the morning, he still couldn't believe it. After all, when he arrived here, many things began to change. Although he still maintained the "historical conservation inertia" in general, the more he interacted with him, the bigger he became. The deeper the person, the more deflected they will be.Bosh is a person beyond his judgment.

Because in the original time and space, Bosh finally stayed with the Miami Heat with a maximum salary. Now, there has been a "fork".

Regarding Bosh, after Tang Qian reorganized his thoughts all night, he still decided to try his best to persuade him.After all, he thought about it carefully and thought that he and Bosh, in fact, played very well together.Especially after Bosh practiced a stable 3-pointer, it made this fit even more perfect.You see, Tang Qian + Bosh is equal to the defensive range and mobility that have reached the historical level of the NBA. Tang Qian's rebounds and shock at the basket make up for Chris Bosh's shortcomings. Bosh's The shooting and spatiality also make up for Tang Qian's need to leave the basket frequently to defend, and at the same time increase the attack range of this combination.So, on paper, there's really nothing wrong with it.

Not only is it not bad, but it seems like a "match made in heaven".

After thinking about these things clearly, Tang Qian decided to abandon the previous suspicions, be honest and help the team recruit Chris Bosh.

At about 9 o'clock, Bosh and his agent Henry Thomas came to the Lakers conference room, Tang Qian shook hands with Bosh as a player representative as soon as he entered the door.

"Hi, Chris."

"Hi, hot"

Tang Qian changed his address here. He used to be called Bosh, but now he suddenly changed his name.In the United States, this is a small change that brings closer relations.It reflects Tang Qian's willingness to cooperate with Bosh.

"I didn't expect to see you here after the finals. What do you think of our Los Angeles Lakers?" Tang Qian asked.

"It's good, but I have to make a decision after this meeting." Bosh faced Tang Qian at first, but he was actually a little awkward, but since the other party had changed his name and offered him the next step, Bosh So the mind is no longer so entangled, and the conversation gradually becomes natural. The NBA league is generally a "business league" and "business league". Bosh doesn't mean that old-school players want a city for one person, so as long as you give him enough money, he thinks it's more comfortable to play. , and the chance to compete for the championship by the way, that's enough.It doesn't even matter if he thinks there is no chance of winning the championship.Anyway, he has won the NBA championship trophy twice, which also makes his pursuit of the ring less intense.In Yuanshikong, he stayed in Miami in the end. Can't you see that the Heat have left James, and the overall competitiveness has plummeted, making it impossible to compete for the Larry O'Brien Cup?No, of course he knew, it's just that the Heat gave enough money, so he took advantage of the trend to stay.

The reason for meeting with the Lakers this time is mainly because Bosh wants to experience it in another place. The big city of Los Angeles is naturally more attractive than Miami and Houston. Otherwise, the price that the Lakers can offer is 4 million for 9200 years. Up and down, looks a little more than the Rockets.Regardless of the year-by-year increase, it is about 2300 million a year. However, considering that Texas has no state tax, the actual salary will not be lower than the Lakers' 1 million.Because California's state tax is one of the highest in the United States, as high as 13.3%, while Texas is completely tax-free, the gap is clear at a glance.This is why Howard still made money even though he seemed to reject the Lakers' five-year 5 million contract.Because it only counts for 1.18 years, Howard seems to be losing money at the actual starting salary. In fact, he can earn about $4 million more than the Lakers every year. In 200 years, the actual starting after-tax salary was more than 4 million. As for the entire contract, in the fifth year, he only received 840 million more salary than the Rockets.As a star of his level, winning 1400 million a year is almost a "cheap contract".So this is also a major factor why Morey's player contracts are not high every time, but they are fully competitive.

The Heat's preparation for Bosh is a five-year $5 million maximum salary contract, which is almost the same as the Lakers gave Howard that year.Then why is he still willing to stay in the Heat in the original time and space?The reason is age!He is now 1.18 years old, and Howard was only 30 years old that year. This gap means that under normal circumstances, Howard is still on the tail of his peak, while Bosh is completely aging and has become a 2728-year-old veteran.It is impossible for him not to choose the last big contract.After all, next time, unless there is a miracle, he will not be able to sign such a good contract price.

But the Lakers can only offer this price. Bosh is a veteran who has played for more than 10 seasons. According to the maximum salary rule, he can get 35% of the league salary cap. 4.5% increments.There is no problem with sincerity, this is the maximum range that can be achieved within the league rules.But during the negotiation process, it was obvious that Bosh was a little "absent-minded".Because although he is a little moved, in general, he is still willing to choose the Miami Heat's five-year $5 million.

At this time, the Lakers actually felt the other party's intentions, so the initial enthusiasm for negotiations was gradually declining.

Also, what can the Lakers attract Bosh?Apart from the background of the big city, the rest of the contract?The total amount is not as good as the Heat, and the Texas Rockets are not as good as after tax. Now that the team is rebuilding, they can't even shout the slogan of the championship. What else can they say?It's normal to be unattractive.

Besides, how strong is Bosh's desire for the championship?

I'm afraid it's hard to say.

what to do?I have no choice but to let go of this big fish, alas.

Just when both parties were a little bit "declining", Tang Qian suddenly said a word to Bosh:
"Hey, I know that the salary of the Lakers or the promise of a championship is not enough to impress you, so..." Tang Qian paused and said, "Do you want to wear rings on one hand?"

As soon as these words came out, the audience was stunned. Although the words were very heroic and magnificent, it did not mean that Bosh was a fool. Now the Lakers are a rebuilding team. ring?Do you think Kobe was still on the team last season?Then you can think about it yourself.

"Tan, the words are nice, but the persuasion is too weak. I'm not a teenager anymore. I'm sorry that I can't be fooled by such words."

Tang Qian nodded, and he stood up and said, "Of course it won't work if you just talk and don't practice. The reality is too poor, and I understand it, so why don't we go to the training ground alone? I believe we will think about it again then." considerate."

Bosh wanted to refuse, but when the words came to his lips, he agreed in a mysterious way. The two agreed to go down alone, and no one could enter to watch the game.No one knew what Tang Qian wanted to do.

"Tan, what do you want to do? What is your plan? Can it work?" Bonnie Laughlin looked at Tang Qian and asked in a low voice.

"I don't have any plans, just try it out. As the saying goes in our country, a dead horse is treated like a living horse." After Tang Qian said that, Bosh went down, and the two went to the closed stadium.

After arriving at the court, Bosh looked at Tang Qian and said with a smile: "Okay, how are you going to convince me? I'm really looking forward to it."

Tang Qian said succinctly: "Convince you."

"W, what? Do you want to fight? You, you, you, don't mess around, this is America, I can call the police!" Bosh said nervously when he heard the words, which made Tang Qian a little speechless: "Am I so scary? Chris, I mean, use the strength of basketball to convince you and let you know that I'm not joking. Otherwise, how can you make you wear rings on one hand?"

"Oh, it's not a fight, that's good, but... I know your strength very well. Your defense and rebounding are a bit invincible in the league, but your offense, sorry, I really doubt it." Bosh said: "Now that there is no Bryant, can you do it all by yourself? Of course, I personally don't mind being the second in charge, but you have to be qualified to do it."

"You think I'm not qualified enough?" Tang Qian looked at Bosh and said.

Bosh nodded very simply: "That's right, I don't think you have the qualifications for the time being. I never thought that a person with offensive ability can lead the team to win the championship, because at the critical moment, you can only rely on others , can’t rely on himself. This is why Bill Russell’s status is not high in my mind. I don’t think he can get the FMVP award for at least a few years, because the team’s finals have contributed more than him Big guy. Of course, if there was an FMVP selection at that time."

"Then you can give it a try." Tang Qian also smiled: "What level do you think my offense is?"

Bosh said decisively: "The average level of 10+ per game, without Nash, your off-ball will be cut off a large piece, without Bryant, your defensive pressure will suddenly increase, and the chances of getting assists will also increase. Reduced, so I said you are this value." "It is even lower than my regular season scoring average last season, you really... look down on me a bit." Tang Qian stopped talking nonsense, took off his clothes and said: "Then what if I tell you that I am much better at scoring than you think?"

"How much stronger? How strong? If you can average 20+ per game, then I can consider it. After all, 20+20 data, plus your ability to block shots, I guess the league's number one center is none other than you. It's not impossible to compete for the MVP of the game. It's okay to be the second leader of the MVP of the regular season." Bosh said: "Unfortunately, you don't." "Average 20+ per game?" Tang Qian began to smile brightly: "Do you know Chris, I don't have the scoring ability to average 20+ per game, I only have the ability to score more than 20+ per game."

Bosh was stunned, but soon said happily: "You? Hot? It's not that I look down on you. Your rebounds are more than 20+, and you score. Forget it. You think I didn't play 6 games with you in the finals. Is it?"

Tang Qian exercised his muscles and bones, grabbed the basketball with one hand and said: "I don't know if you have heard an old saying in our East, which is called Shibie three days. Treat each other with admiration. Now almost two months have passed. Do you think it's appropriate to still look at me with old eyes?"

Tang Qian stood on the basketball court, and said in a calm voice: "Come on, I still say the same thing, use your strength to convince you, I hope you don't forget what you just said."

"Before I make one of your hands full of rings, I must convince you completely."

"Come.on~~~come!!!"

PS: Don't worry, don't worry, there are many things in the plot development outline, this is just the beginning, and there will be many things in the future.

Anyway, what can be said is that a situation like Kobe's will only happen once, without exception.
