NBA: Top 3D talents to start

Chapter 217 House purchase and training hall report
After winning the Asian Cup, Wang Feng did not return home, but directly flew to Los Angeles.

This time the signing is different from the previous Cavaliers. The four-year long contract basically determines that Wang Feng will stay in Los Angeles for at least three years, so he has to find a place for himself, not rent a house but buy a luxury house, and use the In the remaining time, complete your own weight gain and other training.

The question of residence is not a problem for Wang Feng's current financial resources.

With Bill Duffy, a well-known American agent, it can really save a lot of things, including buying a house and viewing a house. Wang Feng just explained his needs, and the other party quickly helped him find a good house. It is located in Staples Across the street from the center arena, a penthouse of about 400 square meters is worth $500 million.

Speaking of which, Wang Feng has seen this apartment in the news before. It is the one Kawhi Leonard bought after joining the Clippers. When Leonard bought it in December 2019, he spent 12 million.

Unexpectedly, two years earlier, and with Bill Duffy's personal connections, Wang Feng won it with only 500 million US dollars.

Wang Feng couldn't help but feel a little funny. He signed with the Lakers and took the lead of James, and now he bought Leonard's house in advance. Does this count as taking someone else's way, living in someone else's house, and making others homeless? return?
Of course, this is a joke. With Leonard's worth, how could he not be able to afford a house?Besides, Wang Feng paid for it, this is his house.

500 million U.S. dollars, or more than 3000 million Chinese currency, is no longer an astronomical figure for Wang Feng now.

Last season, his salary in the Cavaliers was 800 million US dollars, and after deducting various taxes, it was close to 200 million US dollars, and Wang Feng's commercial endorsements in China were countless, all of which were in the Dream Team team. Taking care of it in an orderly manner can bring Wang Feng more than 8000 million yuan in income every year. This is because Wang Feng basically only accepts domestic commercial endorsements and rarely accepts foreign commercial endorsements, otherwise the endorsement fee will be even higher.

He is now a real rich man. When he comes to Los Angeles, the center of the entertainment industry in the United States, his commercial value will further increase. Moreover, the maximum salary of the Lakers and the annual salary of his first year of signing can reach 800 million US dollars.

The money has been earned, of course you have to enjoy it.

The main reason why Wang Feng chose to buy a house in this location is that it is only across the street from the Staples Arena, so he doesn't need to worry about the heavy traffic every time the team has a game.

After signing the contract and paying, Wang Feng bought the first luxury house in his life.

……

After the housing problem was settled, Wang Feng went to the Lakers training facility.

Coincidentally, not long ago, the UCLA Health Center, a new training venue just completed by the Lakers, was officially put into use. All supporting facilities are complete and brand new. Compared with the arena in Cleveland, the gap is extremely obvious.

"Big city smells so good..."

No, it should be from a wealthy family.

Although it is the offseason now, there are already players conducting daily training in the training hall that has been put into use.

When Wang Feng came to the arena, the first thing he saw was the Lakers player Jordan Clarkson excitedly running to adapt to the new training hall.

Seeing Wang Feng, Clarkson took the initiative to greet him.

"Wang, hello, I'm Clarkson, it's so cool that you announced that you're joining the Lakers in the summer, I can't wait to play with you!"

Clarkson seemed enthusiastic.

This is normal.

The Lakers signed Wang Feng with a 4-year contract of 1.18 million yuan. The intention is very obvious. They want Wang Feng to become the leader of the Lakers and the star of the team!

As a rookie in the same year as Wang Feng, Clarkson has played for the Lakers for three years, and he has been the main substitute rotation role in the team.

Last season, he played full attendance in 82 games, including 19 starts, averaging 29.2 minutes per game, scoring 14.7 points, 3 rebounds and 2.6 assists, and his performance was quite satisfactory.

Next year will be Clarkson's contract year. If he wants to win a good offer contract, he must have better statistics. Therefore, it is very important to build a good relationship with Wang Feng, a player who is destined to become the core of the Lakers. .

"Good."

Wang Feng shook hands with him, nodded slightly and said.

It's not just Clarkson. It's only the beginning of September. There's still more than a month before the start of the preseason. Many players are still on vacation. Most of the players who are training in the Lakers arena are those who have just been selected by the team. Rookie players and players who have just been traded and want to get familiar with the venue.

For example, Kyle Kuzma, who was selected with the 27th overall pick in the first round, and Josh Hart, who was selected with the 30th overall pick in the first round.

There is also center Brook Lopez, who was traded from the Nets early on June 6.

Wang Feng's annual salary of 2800 million US dollars is well-deserved first in the Lakers team, and the second highest salary in the Lakers team is Brook Lopez.

Last season, Brook Lopez still averaged 20.5 points and 5.4 rebounds per game for the Nets. Although his ability to protect the frame is not very good, his scoring ability as a center is remarkable.

However, in another time and space, as Lopez joined the Lakers, his personal data began to drop sharply, from 20.5 points last season to 13 points. points or so.

In the 2020-2021 season, Lopez, as the Bucks' starting center, won the championship trophy with Antetokounmpo Antetokounmpo. This is the brightest moment of his career.

The reason why the Lakers chose to use Mozgov, who spent a lot of money to sign last year, to pack the No. 15 Russell trade for 20.5 years in exchange for Lopez is not because they are greedy for his 2200 points per game and excellent offensive skills, but because Lopez's [-] million contract will expire next year. At that time, the Lakers can free up a huge amount of salary space. They can pursue top stars in the free market and form a dual-core partner with Wang Feng.

"This matter has to be written down. When Lopez's contract expires, the Lakers can sign him with a mid-level contract. Although this guy is not worth 2000 million, if it is 600 million, it must be worth it .”

The players present basically greeted Wang Feng proactively after seeing Wang Feng, and they were quite friendly.

But there was only one player, as if he hadn't seen Wang Feng, who was practicing shooting on the court all the time.

This rather abnormal behavior immediately made Wang Feng notice the other party.

That was last season, the second pick in the first round of the NBA draft, Brandon Ingram, who was regarded by the Lakers as the cornerstone of the team.
