After changing careers, I became No.1 in basketball

Chapter 268 Chapter 267: The sinful relationship between fish and snakes, the dangerous person that Logo is in contact with
July 7, the second day of free agency.

Stern was so surprised by the wave of random operations by the Magic that he couldn't sleep.

Shaquille O'Neal, the dominant super center at a young age, actually wants to leave Orlando!
The reason is that the money given by the Magic is not enough.

This is the most incredible point of this matter, because this is basically the last reason for leaving the team.

Although many teams are chasing O'Neal, as O'Neal's old club, the Orlando Magic's lead is very obvious.

First of all, because of O'Neal's bird rights, the Magic can offer a price that no other team can match to renew his contract.

In addition, Florida, where Orlando is located, has no state tax, which means that if O'Neal renews his contract with the Magic, he will actually get more money.

The Magic's re-signing of O'Neal is as simple as one step: throw a blank check to the Sharks, set a reasonable range, and let him fill in the numbers himself.

They don't even need to think about things like the luxury tax like future teams.

Under the existing rules, if the difficulty of contract renewal is divided into 0 to 10, there are 10 difficulty levels.Then the difficulty of renewing O'Neal's contract can basically be counted as -1.

However, it's that simple.

The Magic miraculously screwed up!
It's as if the goddess threw herself into a trap, got herself drunk and lay down on your sofa, but the next day she walked out unharmed!
Juwan Howard got a seven-year, $7 million guarantee from the Bullets.

Riley, who finally got the most rights in Miami, also told the media without hesitation that the team is willing to keep Mourning with a 7-year 1.1 million contract.

As for O'Neill, his strength and potential are obviously above these two.

But what offer did the Magic give the Sharks?

7 million in 6900 years.

O'Neill felt that the Magic may not have understood what the current super center is.

He doesn't embarrass the Magic, and he doesn't pursue an exaggeration like Shay's 3000 million a year.

But at least I have to be equal to Mourning, right? You have to give me 7 million in 1.1 years, right?Market price, bro.

After listening to the opinions of the Sharks, the Magic also suspected that their price was a bit humiliating, so they raised it a bit: 7 million in seven years.

And told O'Neill: This is the highest offer, nothing to talk about.

Everyone in Stern is stupid, what are the Magic thinking?
O'Neal was also stupid at the time. He didn't know what the Magic were thinking, so he asked directly:

"Why does the team know my value, but refuses to pay me a salary that matches it?"

Well, Magic general manager John Gabriel was waiting for O'Neal to ask that question.

In order to lower the price of sharks this summer, he did enough homework, and directly told the sharks one, two, three:
"First, the team's performance in the playoffs this year did not meet expectations, and we were swept away by the Bulls! The Bulls are just a runner-up team!
And Shaq, you can't even handle a roof of the world that isn't at its peak.

Second, during your injury this season, Hardaway led the team alone and achieved better results. Facts have proved that he can also be an excellent core.

Third, you know Shaq, we can't make Penny unhappy. "

The shark got angry when he heard it.

WTF?

If I make money in Orlando, it depends on Penny's face?That wouldn't be a kneeling beggar!
The Magic really like Penny, because Shai and Jordan have proven that fans don't like super centers these days.

Fans are more willing to pay for tickets to watch guards like Shay and Jordan, and a team with guards at its core can obviously go further.

Olajuwon should be liu beep, right?It must be the ceiling of position five, right?
But what level is he in the playoffs?Shay and Jordan take turns beating his level!

So super defender and super center, of course choose a super defender!

Some people are about to ask, why don't you want magic?
Laughing, do you really think that my big magic is rich?
The only obstacle that restricts men from ordering two at the same time is that the wallet is not enough.

If you want to order two at the same time, one of them must lower the price.

Anyway, pennies can't drop, so guess who will drop?

The shark got angry at that time, I am the county magistrate, and Penny is just a teacher!
However, Mi Li's family is a free and democratic country.

The people here have the right to freely choose who to shoot and kill, so naturally they also have the right to freely choose who goes and who stays.

The Magic told O'Neal that they conducted a fan poll in the newspaper and asked if O'Neal was worth [-] million.

If the fans think you are worth it, let's sit down and talk.

O'Neal is full of self-confidence. Among other things, just because of my appearance, the Orlando fans have already been conquered by me.

Then the next day's news:

"91% of fans think O'Neal is not worth [-] million!"

O'Neill:? ? ?

Ah this
There's no way, Penny is really hot right now.

That was someone who could rival Shay and Shay's defeated opponents in popularity.

Jordan: Am I no longer worthy of a name?
O'Neal overestimated his popularity in Orlando.

For a while, all the major media were reporting on this matter. In NBC's special program on the transfer period, the host said this:
"O'Neill's own fans have even abandoned him!"

Embarrassment, O'Neill has never been so embarrassed in his life.

It's okay to be humiliated by the management, but also humiliated by the entire Orlando fans.

Barkley, a man of true temperament, naturally couldn't stand it. When he was interviewed, he said directly: "What's the point of this vote? [-]% of Orlando people don't understand football at all."

But what can Barkley change?

Fan votes gave the Magic management confidence.

The Magic bid 7 million for 8000 years without raising the price.

The Magic thought that O'Neal would cooperate obediently, but O'Neal turned the table directly: "I will not appear in the Magic team's roster next season."

As soon as this sentence came out, the two sides broke completely.

Magic Management: ? ? ?

No, Shark, are you serious?

In this way, the Magic lost a super center in just one day.

Stern looked at the news that the entire league was interested in Sharks, and he didn't know what to say.

What the hell is the Magic team? Let this be the NBA's poverty alleviation office!

Will the super center give it away?
In this way, there was a wave of chasing sharks across the league.

Riley looked at Mourning in his hand, and instantly felt unsatisfactory: "Damn, it's too early to sign!"

And this kind of excitement, how could Logo miss it.

As soon as the free agency market opened, Shai jumped out of the contract, and Clifford Robinson did not renew his contract with the team.

So, now the Lakers have plenty of salary space to chase the Sharks!
If Shark and Shay teamed up.
With thanks and sharks, grandma can start!
Of course, Logos usually do things very cleanly.

No one in the league knew the Lakers were getting close to the Sharks.

Otherwise, Xie Yi's defeated men probably wouldn't even be able to sleep well.

Logo's offensive is very fierce, of course he knows the concept of Shay and Shark teaming up.

He flew directly to Atlanta in person-at that time, O'Neal was preparing for the Atlanta Olympics with the Dream Team.

O'Neill wants exclusive parking space?No problem, the logo means that my parking space will be used by you in the future.

Want a free ticket?No problem, you can have as much as you want.

By the way, the magician also said that he would privately give you a copy of the Rainbow Tactics cheat book, which is only passed on to the core of the Lakers!
O'Neal almost agreed, big market, high exposure, [-] million yuan contract, and player options in the third year.

These are all what sharks want.

But the Sharks' agent Amato told O'Neal: "You can think clearly, the Lakers are Shay's team."

O'Neill hung up the phone and glanced at Penny who was sweating profusely on the training ground.

Did he really leave the Magic just for the money?He couldn't swallow this breath even more!

I, Shark, started as an All-Star in my rookie season, and I was able to kill Admiral and Ewing in my second year.

As strong and invincible as me, give Penny a hand?

What an international joke!
I must be the core of a team, I, Sharks, are born to be the boss!
When going to the Lakers, O'Neal just changed from playing for Penny to playing for Shai.

When the time comes, he will be the next flying pig.

What MVP, what honor, it has nothing to do with him.

And deep down, the Sharks don't like Shay either.

Shay has suckled him so many times, he wants to beat Shay more than join!
So, Amato told O'Neill to drag the Lakers first.

Next, if there is a team that can give O'Neal a contract of [-] million yuan and the status of the boss at the same time, then he will naturally join that team.

If not, then consider the Lakers' invitation.

As a result, O'Neal also listened to offers from several other teams.

The Pistons are willing to give O'Neal a contract of [-] million yuan, but O'Neal's team thinks that the Detroit boundary has no commercial value.

The Eagles also launched a fierce attack on the sharks in line with the concept of getting close to the water first.

But they don't have enough salary space to provide O'Neal with a billion-dollar contract.

When the Magic saw O'Neal coming for real, they were also shocked. They said they would never raise the price again, and they hurriedly offered a seven-year 7 million contract: "Shaq, I admit that our voices were a bit loud before!"

However, at this juncture, magic is still acting as a demon.Because they added many clauses in the contract that O'Neal could never complete.

For example, the free throw percentage is above 70%.

For example, the best defensive player must be won.

Once one of the clauses is not completed, O'Neal will not be able to get the full salary.

Compared with the sincerity of the Lakers, after the Magic humiliated O'Neal, they used this clause to disgust people.

The Orlando Magic management, the ceiling of the NBA management!
O'Neal has completely given up on the Magic, and he called Logo again, only asking one question: "How will my position be after I go?"

The logo is naturally a strategy of delay: "Commander Xie has a long life, and Deputy Commander Sha will always be healthy."

"Okay, let me ask another question, how many years will I have to be the second child?"

"Shay's young, and you're young. So, the future is yours, it's his, but at the end of the day it's yours."

"Then let me ask another question. If I have the ability, can't I take over early?"

"I advise you to give up this dangerous idea. Everything in Los Angeles is yours, but if Shay doesn't give it to you, you can't snatch it.

Shaq, I can promise you anything.That is, Dr. Bath has no wife, otherwise I guess his wife can be given to you.

But for the Los Angeles Lakers, his surname is now Xie. "

O'Neal:
After talking for a long time, I went there, didn't I still beg for food on my knees!

O'Neill, a kid with a temper, was a little angry.

how?

In the eyes of your logo man, my invincible big shark can only be the second child?

Then you are no different from the rabble in Orlando!

O'Neill hung up the phone, and Logo tensed up.

Logo is very aware of the importance of the locker room atmosphere, and the 1+1 less than 2 thing like Barkley and Shea can't happen again.

So about the core position, Logo must first make it clear with the shark.

He knew that Shark didn't want a second child, but now, the condition of "big market + [-] million yuan contract" can be met.

Just the Lakers!
There is still hope for the Lakers!

As a result, the next day, things took a 180° turn.

Because that afternoon, in Atlanta, O'Neill suddenly announced:

"I will bring my talent to the east coast. From today, I officially become a member of the New York Knicks!"

New Yorkers 7 million in 1.12 years, won the deep sea mad shark!

The Knicks have been holding back their big moves, and they, like Logo, haven't leaked any news.

In fact, in the original history, the Knicks were very interested in the Sharks in the summer of 96.

It's just that they were unwilling to give up Ewing at the time, so they couldn't make room for salary to eat the sharks.

But this history has changed dramatically because of the Knicks, and Ewing has long since disappeared, so the Knicks have been quietly busy with transactions in the past few days, quietly freeing up more salary space.

Then, the shark was eaten directly!

In addition to the 1500 million yuan contract that the Sharks are thinking about, the Knicks also promised that as long as O'Neal comes to New York, they will immediately add a [-] million endorsement contract for the Sheraton Hotel.

Of course, this is perfectly compliant.The Sheraton Hotel is willing to give it, but the alliance can't punish it?

What else can I say?This is the superiority of the big ball market!
The Knicks recruited O'Neal on the sidelines, but Stern couldn't do anything about it.

Of course, the Lakers also have big markets and billion-dollar contracts.

What prompted O'Neal to make a decision was the Knicks assurance: "This team has one and only Sharks as a core! Kobe? Don't worry about Shaq, he's just a high school student!"

In this way, O'Neill officially settled in New York.At the press conference, the stingy shark did not forget to taunt Penny:
"Since he wants to be the team's highest-paid player, well, good luck bro, see you on the field!"

Soon, the reporter asked O'Neal again: "I heard that the Lakers also recruited you. Is this true?"

O'Neal nodded: "It's true, but rather than joining, I want to beat Shai and the Lakers with my own hands!"

Good guy, the Logo calls it a good guy.

It is said that a man's strength is related to his little brother, but sharks don't.
As for Shay, he was even more surprised from ear to ear.

so
In this history, the OK group moved to New York?

As far as Nima, can we continue to form a team together?You two have a bad relationship!

O'Neill thought that if he went to New York, he would be the emperor of the land for the rest of his life.

Wake up, there are poisonous snakes around you!

In this way, the biggest fish of this offseason was finally picked up by the Knicks.

And soon, the Knicks took the next step: signing Clifford Robinson for 3600 million in three years.

They've been waiting for the Sharks to be in place, then filled the final cap space with Robinson.

A four-position partner who can help the Sharks open up space inside, um, perfect!
When Robinson left, he did not forget to thank the Lakers in an interview with reporters, and of course also mentioned Shay:

"Shay is the one, he's always been that key savior, the greatest player I've ever played with.

This trait is not shared by all stars.

Derricksler doesn't have that quality, which is why when I was in Portland with him, we always finished second. "

Anytime, anywhere, super glider, never absent!

Slider, the man with the strongest presence in the NBA!

This transfer, which has nothing to do with his fart, can miraculously milk his head.

It is normal for Robinson to brag about the old leader before leaving, but the new leader of Shark is quite dissatisfied with this:
"Clifford was right that Shai was the greatest player he ever played with, but that's mostly because he didn't play with me."

Xie Yi laughed, the shark really got into a fight with himself.

Although from beginning to end, Shay did not express any views on O'Neill.

But sharks are narrow-minded, and they like to set themselves up targets.

Remember when he made up the story straight to the Black Admiral?

But Shay wasn't quite as good-tempered as the Admiral.

When Shay was asked by a reporter what he thought of O'Neal's 1.21 million joining the Knicks, Shay's answer was simply arrogant:

"Let's be honest, they can't even beat my defeated generals. There is nothing to see."

Danzi: Say it again, my name is Michael Jordan, and I'm not called a loser!
O'Neill and Shay, if they were just playing around in the past.

So now, the two of them have really become enemies.

O'Neill's affairs have temporarily come to an end, but Logo is still very busy.

Without O'Neal, he naturally has to find another way to help the team strengthen.

At first, Logo took aim at Reggie Miller, who definitely had a temper with Shay.

If the two formed a team, they would be able to spray their opponents with blood just by using their mouths!

The Lakers can offer the same price as the Pacers, and there is a bigger basketball market.It stands to reason that this is another condition that cannot be refused.

As a result, Reggie Miller rejected the Logo and found it incredible:

"Join the Lakers? Hahahaha.

In Indianapolis, the store clerk, the hotel doorman, the waiter... all the fans cheering for you, crying and grieving with you when you lose, that's what we've been through together.

If I went to another team, I would have no way to be worthy of these fans who supported me.

I know, I lost to Jordan, I lost to Ewing, I lost to Bird, I lost to Thomas, and I lost to you.

But I want such a confrontation, even if I don't win!

Besides, I will win one day!

Goodbye Jerry! "

After finishing speaking, Miller hung up the phone directly without too much entanglement with the Lakers.

This passage has nothing to do with money and the market, and directly made Logo speechless.

This is Reggie Miller, the man who said, "If Jordan calls me and tries to recruit me to the Bulls, I'll tell him to fuck off."

Well, now the trash talk Gatling duo is gone.

Right now, there are not many reinforcement options left for the Logo.

At this moment, Jerry West, the greatest general manager in the history of the Lakers, dug up the call he hadn't made for a long time.

At first, Papa Daly was taken aback by Logo's call.

But after hearing about the Logo problem, Daly smiled brightly:
"You ask me what I think of him? Well... that guy is complicated.

But on the basketball court, as long as you don't ask him to score more than ten or twenty points per game, there is nothing wrong with him.Basically, he is a little selfish in rebounding, and he is really paranoid about rebounding data.

As for the rest, he works very, very hard, and he actually listens to the coach.

Of course, the premise is that he has to obey you.Or, you find someone to convince him. "

After listening to Daly, Logo covered his head with his hands.

A double-edged sword, if you use it well, you will get twice the result with half the effort, but if you don't use it well, you will hurt yourself.

But Logo can't wait any longer, chasing sharks has already wasted too much of his time, he must complete reinforcements as soon as possible.

otherwise
Call to try?

　Today's [-]D update is here!On the Nth day of consecutive [-]D updates, for such a conscientious old partner, asking for a monthly pass is not too much, right?I'm begging, thank you all!
