NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade
Chapter 113 The super offseason is destined to be crazy!
Chapter 113 The super offseason is destined to be crazy!
He decided to upgrade the one-handed pass he received from 'Magician' to LV3 first!
Firstly, Lin Tian does not want to and cannot play as a substitute next season, so he needs to show more skills in passing and feeding the ball, so that he can better cooperate with the starting lineup.
The second thing is the most important. If one-handed passing reaches LV3, then you can combine it with fast passing LV3 and see what new things can be combined!
Thinking of doing it, Lin Tian opened the system and first passed the ball to his one-handed ball, which was upgraded to LV3.
“单手传球LV3(0/8000):使用单手传球时出球速度增加15%,传球精准度增加15%。”
After the skill upgrade, Lin Tian merged the two LV3 passing skills without thinking.
Although these two are also LV3 skills.
But one upgrade requires 8000 experience points, and the other only requires 4000 experience points. The huge gap is really disappointing.
"Skill fusion is being carried out for the host."
"Skill fusion completed!"
"The host gains a new skill: One-handed quick pass LV3 (762/10000)"
"One-handed quick pass: One-handed passing speed increases by 18%, passing accuracy increases by 18%, and if you pass the ball during the transition between offense and defense, the passing field of view increases by an additional 10%!"
Well, much better than expected!Although the name of this new skill looks boring, unattractive, and lacks any sparkle, at least it has a new attribute, right?There is still money to be made!
Then, Lin Tian used his remaining experience to upgrade the 'air dance' that had been waiting for him!
“空中舞步LV2(0/4000):提升宿主篮下终结能力10%!若弹跳评价达到A-,之后弹跳每提升一个级别,终结能力额外提升3%!”
After upgrading these two skills, Lin Tian's experience value bottomed out again, with less than 200 left. Lin Tian also opened the system and wanted to appreciate his new status value.

The biggest improvement for Lin Tian this time is undoubtedly his physical strength, which has directly climbed three levels, from a B- below average in the league to an A- today. The current Lin Tian can definitely say One sentence is good for physical strength!
Then there is his breakthrough and dribbling ability. Maybe it is because he has made more breakthroughs since the playoffs than before, maybe it is the residual ability of Iverson's experience card, and of course there is also the improvement that comes with the upgrade of 'Aerial Dance'. In short, Lin Tian has also improved these two abilities.
The only pity is that although he has upgraded his passing skills, his passing attributes are still stuck at S- and cannot go further. This makes Lin Tian somewhat depressed.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder!
Then, Lin Tian looked at the piles of various experience cards, props and other things, and actually felt a little sympathy for his opponents next season.
Well, because Lin Daguan feels that he has used these things too sparingly this season and must use them more next season!If you take it from the people, you must use it for the people!
After settling all this, it was almost time for the team to assemble.
Although the sad girls in Seattle need comfort, there are also many excited girls in Chicago who hope to celebrate the championship with the players!
You can’t treat one favorably over another!
As a result, all members of the Bulls boarded a plane back to Chicago the afternoon after they won the championship.
What awaits them next will be cheers, shouts and welcomes from the entire city, as well as the most exciting and passionate city tour!
Next, most of the Bulls can go on vacation and rest.
The long season is finally over.
But although the season is over, the eyes of all fans, players, and team management in the United States are still on the Bulls!
Because this summer, the biggest fish in NBA free market history swam out!
Michael Jordan will become a free agent for the first time in his career!
The eight-year, $8 million contract he signed with the Bulls has finally expired. Which team he will sign with and what kind of contract he will sign in the new season will definitely become the biggest deal in the entire league this summer. , the best and most engaging soap opera.
Especially, after Ewing signed the 1800 million annual salary contract last summer, the salary of the entire league is destined to rise rapidly, entering the tens of millions era.
Those top players with salaries of 2 to 3 million, as long as their contracts expire, will definitely be able to sign a huge contract this summer that they could not even imagine or dare to hope for before!
Miller, Barkley, Drexler, including Ewing, who only signed for one year last year, their contracts will expire this summer. Countless fans feel as if the money can fall into their pockets. They will continue to pay attention to the contract renewal status of these top stars from the first second of the free market.
Well, Scottie Pippen said that I'm not interested at all, don't care at all, and just want to go on vacation to Hawaii.
As for the last member of the Bulls' Iron Triangle, Rodman, like Jordan, will also become a free agent this summer. However, his value is much lower than Jordan's, even though he is the rebounding leader and the league's top defender. A member of the lineup, but the things Rodman did with the Spurs and Pistons made most team owners stay away from him.
Who knows if he has really become a good person, or if he has temporarily curbed his toxicity for the big contract?
But no matter what choices Rodman, Jordan and other big-name free agents make, this year's offseason is destined to be extremely exciting!At the same time, a large amount of money from the bosses will be taken away by the players!
In fact, Lin Tian knows better than anyone else that it was precisely because of the various crazy contracts made by the owners and players this summer, including next year's offseason, that led to the league's shutdown in the summer of 1998.
Because players' wages are so high, in the 1997-1998 season, 29 of the 25 teams in the league actually suffered losses. In this case, no matter what, both labor and management have to renegotiate. The salary terms are well regulated.
You know, although there is a salary cap in today's league, there are no real maximum salary clauses and luxury tax clauses. The length and details of the contract, as well as various guarantees, buyouts, jump-out and other clauses are also very unclear. Clearly, in this situation, it is easy for some crazy contracts to appear.
For example, the crazy contract with an annual salary of 3000 million yuan that Jordan will sign this summer!
The salary cap for next season is only about US$2400 million!
Jordan alone occupies 125% of the salary cap!
Another example is Ewing's 80 million annual salary contract last summer, which accounted for 1800% of the salary cap.
This is unimaginable in the NBA in the 21st century. Even if the boss is willing to pay, the rules will never allow anyone to pay such a high salary to the players.
Even if Jordan meets all the Rose clauses, veteran clauses or any other clauses, you can get a contract with a starting salary of 35% of the salary cap and a maximum of 5 years on the very first day!
Due to the rules, there is no need to talk about it!
And what about today’s alliance?
There is no fixed maximum salary standard, and there is no clear stipulation on how many years a contract should be signed.
Among the rules that fans are familiar with, only one 'Bird Rights' exists in today's league, and it is quite different from the later completed version.
The so-called Bird Rights are officially called the 'Larry Bird Clause'. Bird's contract expired that year, but the Celtics' salary cap had been filled. According to the rules at the time, the Celtics could only make a large number of transactions. Clear space before re-signing Bird, because the team's salary that year is not allowed to exceed the salary cap.
But after the league studied it, in order to allow Bird to stay with the Celtics and continue the buzz, enjoyment and ratings of the battle between the black and white heroes and the yellow and green, the officials specially added such a 'Larry Bird clause'. So that Bird can continue to stay with the Celtics, and the Celtics don't have to dismantle half of the team to keep Bird.
The so-called Larry Bird clause means that when a player has played for a team for three consecutive years without any transfer records in the middle, then the team can use Larry Bird for this player. Terms, that is, if you have the player's 'Bird Rights', you can then ignore the salary cap and renew the player's contract, which is the so-called over-cap contract extension.
But although the league today has Bird Rights, there is no maximum salary limit and there is no luxury tax.
This leads to the fact that as long as the boss and the players agree, any contract can be signed!
In principle, as long as the boss is willing to give it, 1 million in one year is fine, or 1 billion in 10 years!
As long as the players are willing to sign, 1 million in one year is fine, or 200 million in 20 years!
For example, last summer, Ewing signed the first multi-million-level annual salary contract in NBA history with an annual salary of 2200 million when the salary cap was only 1800 million.
In addition, in addition to no limit on the amount, there is no limit on the number of years a player can sign a contract.
For example, the rookie duo who entered the league in 1994.
Robinson, the No. [-] pick, and Kidd, the No. [-] pick, from a certain perspective, these two guys are absolutely perfect!
'Big Dog' Robinson entered the league and wanted to sign a crazy contract worth 13 million yuan over 1 years. Of course, the team rejected him, and after some bargaining, the two sides settled the deal for 10 million yuan over 6800 years.
As for Kidd, he quoted a nine-year price of 9 million to the Mavericks, and the two parties finally closed the deal at this price.
It is precisely because these two guys are so crazy without even playing a game in the league that the league directly changed the terms of the rookie contract. Starting in 1995, all rookies can only sign a fixed template contract, and there is no bargaining. space, which makes the contracts of rookies fair and transparent.
In addition, the most famous long-term contract is the 25-year, 2500 million contract that Magic signed with the Lakers as soon as he entered the league. At the time, it seemed like a crazy contract with a sky-high price.
Well, it is worth mentioning that as the salary cap increased and the league's income soared, Dr. Buss, the league's number one good owner, took the initiative to discuss with Magic, voided the contract, and signed a new one with a higher amount. Super contract.
Magic's newly signed super contract originally allowed him to become the first owner of a multi-million-dollar annual salary in NBA history during the 1994-1995 season. He could have received a salary of US$1400 million that year. However, He was out of the league that year...
That's why the owner of the first tens of millions of annual salary in history was given to Ewing.
Another thing worth mentioning is that the 1991-year, 7 million contract that Pippen signed for free in 2000 and the 8-year, 2500 million contract that Jordan signed that year. With the salary cap increasing, the Bulls In fact, you can also negotiate with them to sign a new contract.
Well, the management of the Bulls didn't even mention it. With Jordan's self-esteem and character, naturally he wouldn't say a word about it. If you don't give it, I won't be shameless enough to ask for it. .
But maybe it's because of this that the contract negotiations between Jordan and the Bulls, which are about to begin this summer, are so stiff that Jordan almost completed the transfer and left Chicago.
Well, of course, Jordan wanted to save face and not take the initiative to bring it up, but Pippen really wanted to re-sign for a high price, but, the Bulls refused... That's why this Bulls hero would think about it after the contract expired. He didn't even think about it, so he left Chicago directly to pursue his multi-million contract.
There are players like Jordan and Pippen who are low-paid and high-powered, and of course there are players who have grabbed the limelight and received huge contracts.
For example, Lin Tian’s fellow rookie Kevin Garnett!
Kevin Garnett will sign that crazy seven-year, $1998 million contract in 7. Then, this contract will instantly allow countless owners to break their defenses and directly shut down the league!
Looking at this contract from the perspective of the 2020s, it is really not that good, it is nothing!
But if you look at it from the perspective of the late 90s to the early 21st century, it is simply crazy!
For example, in the last year of this contract, Garnett's salary reached 2800 million US dollars!
What does this mean?
For example, in the same year, Allen Iverson and Duncan together did not receive 2600 million. Kobe and Kidd, who were selected to the NBA's first team of the year together with Garnett, only received 2700 million together. .
How do you describe the feeling that the number 2800 million brings to people in 2004, a season in which all the rules have been very perfect?
Just like Frieza appeared in front of Sun Wukong and said lightly: "Your combat power is only 18? My combat power is 53!"
In any case, the imperfections and too many loopholes in the rules did lead to the league's shutdown in the summer of 1998.
In this summer with confusing salary rules and extremely crazy signing of new contracts, one soap opera after another is bound to happen!
However, Lin Tian never expected that the first participant in this soap opera would be himself!
Just after the season ended, a group of Bulls players enthusiastically participated in the Bulls' championship parade. Everyone was as excited as a group of children weighing 200 to 300 pounds. The next day, the Bulls general manager, the real death Fatty Klaus called Lin Tian to his office.
"It's all so wonderful, isn't it Lin." Klaus showed his trademark smile and looked at Lin Tiandao: "The feeling of winning the championship, the feeling of being loved by the fans, the whole city It feels good to cheer for you, celebrate you, and treat you as a hero, right?”
"It's true, Mr. General Manager, we will do it again next year!" Lin Tian probably guessed why Klaus suddenly came to him, but at this time, he showed a pure and stupid expression, a cute look New.
Klaus smiled, but did not continue the topic. Instead, he said lightly: "As far as I know, you don't have an agent? There are many local businesses in Chicago who want to cooperate with you this year, but they can't find you. , I can't contact you." "There was at first, but that guy didn't think I could gain a foothold in the NBA, so after the draft, I fired him." Lin Tian shrugged and said, "I I just want to play well, so I don’t think it matters whether I have an agent or not.”
After hearing Lin Tian's words, Klaus's eyes lit up obviously!
He felt that this boy could fool him!
This is definitely a person who is full of passion, passionate love, and plays basketball just for the sake of basketball, and is free from such low-level interests as money!
Otherwise, how could a normal person not want an agent?
Well...because Lin Tian didn't tell the truth to him.
The agent he found when he first entered the league really didn't think Lin Tian could gain a foothold in the league, so that guy's idea was to make money as soon as he could!One month after Lin Tian was drafted by the Bulls, he frantically contacted Lin Tian for various activities!
Let Lin Tian attend any real estate ribbon cutting, pet shop opening, burger shop taste tester, or even the hell strip club opening!
After discovering that this guy was just trying to make him look like an idiot, Lin Tian fired him without even thinking about it. After that, Lin Tian didn't hire a new agent.
Lin Tian feels that he hasn't made a name for himself yet, and everything will have to wait until he makes a name for himself!
He doesn't want to create a lot of dark history for tens of thousands of dollars!
However, such a small misunderstanding turned out to Klaus that Lin Tian only wanted to play ball and was not interested in anything else.
"Lin, you are my favorite in our team! You are simple, love basketball, and keep your original intention! This is a characteristic that other old bastards in the team don't have! I really think you can stay with the Bulls forever. Go on until you retire!"
"Together, we can accomplish many wonderful things and win many championships! I believe that after Scott and Michael retire, you will be the MVP of the league and lead the Bulls to win several more championships! You He is who I think he is, the future leader of the team!"
"Great! This is the purpose of my joining the alliance!" Lin Tian followed Klaus's words, his face full of longing. He wanted to see what this stingy fat man was going to do.
"But, Lin, I want to build a dynasty with you so much, but we have encountered something not good, the team's salary space!" Klaus said with a very sincere expression: "According to Judging from our current situation, we may not be able to keep you next summer, and you will most likely be poached by other teams by then."
"I swear, I really don't want this to happen, but we don't have your bird rights, so there are some things I really can't do about!"
Seeing the explosive performance of Klaus, Lin Tian continued to nod in agreement, wanting to see what this guy could say in the end.
"So, Lin! In order for you to stay in the Bulls, and for you to lead this team to win several more championships after Michael retires, I have thought of a very good way! A perfect way!"
"We can renew your rookie contract in advance! Just renew it for one year. In this way, in the summer after two years, when your contract expires, we will own your bird rights, and we can use a super generous contract to Renew your contract!"
"So, what you mean is, let me use the basic salary of a second-round pick to play for one more year? Fortunately, I can sign a huge contract in the summer of 2?" Lin Tian looked at Klaus with his fox tail, and also A smile of unknown meaning leaked out.
"Yes, Lin, it's just one year! This way you can stay in Chicago forever! Be a part of Chicago forever! Your jersey will be flying above the arena, and you will be a brand new totem of this city!"
When Klaus saw that Lin Tian might take the bait, he immediately sent out a set of cake combinations, hoping to make Lin Tian's belly bloated!
"Sorry, I won't agree." Lin Tian refused without even thinking!
Just kidding, I'm not stupid, why would I agree to work here for a year for nothing at a bargain price?
Do you do charity?
"Don't you believe me, Lin? I can guarantee that I will sign a contract with you with the highest standard at the time! I guarantee that you can get an annual salary of tens of millions! I guarantee that the length and amount of this contract will be both It’s something you can’t imagine!”
"What if I get injured? What if I don't play as well as expected in the next two years and don't improve? What if I get into some trouble and get suspended from the league for a long time?"
"Mr. General Manager, when that time comes, are you still willing to renew my contract with the super maximum salary?"
"Why wouldn't I want to! If you are willing to give, of course I am willing to give you something in return! Sincerity for sincerity is always the best medicine!"
"Then why don't you give Scott a brand new contract worthy of him? Why did you only come to me?" Lin Tian looked at Klaus, knowing that this conversation was almost over.
Klaus thinks he is an idiot, so he will listen to what Klaus has to say and let Klaus know who is the idiot!
"So, Mr. General Manager, with all due respect, your guarantee is worthless in my opinion! I will not give up tens of millions of dollars in benefits for the sake of empty promises, let alone the so-called ideals and passions. Such stuff, people treat them like idiots.”
"If it's okay, I'll leave." Lin Tian stood up and walked out of his office, ignoring Klaus's angry facial features.
Lin Tian clearly heard... there was a crackling sound in the office.
Klaus was furious!He originally wanted to trick Lin Tian, but he was fooled by this newbie!
Then, a frustrated Klaus made the stupid decision he regretted most this summer.
He called Jackson: "Phil, next season, reduce Lin's playing time! I want to lower the price! I want him to only get a minimum salary contract with us! This kind of thing is also good for you. ,Right?"
"Why didn't you say it at the beginning of this season? Then I could put Michael on the bench, and then you could really lower his price this year. It's not because of such a brilliant idea that you idiot just thought of it now. Bar?"
"FUXX!" Klaus cursed angrily, then slammed the phone on the table.
For him, the beginning of this offseason was terrible!
Lin Tian was in a good mood at the moment, whistling, and walked all the way outside the arena.
In fact, he originally thought that he was going to play in the Olympics this year and could compete with the Dream Team [-], but as a result, no one from the national team has contacted him yet.
Then there is a high probability that he, an 'outsider', will not be invited to play in the Olympics. Lin Tian doesn't care about this kind of thing at all. If you invite me, I will go. If you don't invite me, don't think that I will. I actively beg you to let me play ball!
But now that he doesn't have to play in the Olympics, Lin Tian will be free throughout the offseason. He plans to stay in Chicago for a few days, then return to China for a few days, and then go to Los Angeles to meet Magic and Thomas. Train him well for a month.
Then... it’s time to take a vacation and eat as much as you like!
Lin Tian will definitely have a great time this offseason!
Just when Lin Tian was humming a little tune and walked all the way to the entrance of the arena, a familiar figure suddenly came out: "You didn't agree to that idiot fat man, did you? If you agreed, I will fight in with you now and let him kill him." Break up the contract!"
Jordan looked at Lin Tian angrily, obviously he had received the news from somewhere and knew that Klaus was going to attack Lin Tian.
"Michael, can you be more mature? Do you think I'm an idiot?" Lin Tian rolled his eyes and said, Jordan's distrust of him simply made him think of him as an idiot.
"You don't have an agent, who knows if you will be deceived by him!" Jordan was surprisingly not angry, but grabbed Lin Tiandao: "Come with me! I will take you to see David, and you will sign at the university Wei! As long as he is here, you will never suffer a loss in this life!"
Of course Lin Tian knew who David was who Jordan was talking about.
The famous David Falk!
The league's number one agent in the 90s, he had more than half of the league's top stars on his hands, including Shaquille O'Neal, Patrick Ewing, and of course Michael Jordan!
It’s no exaggeration to say that David Falke, who was at his peak, could control the league. With Jordan in his hands, he single-handedly created the AJ brand myth for Jordan. Coupled with his strong negotiation skills and connections, in 1998 When the league was suspended in the summer, he was even called the number one enemy of the management by many people in the league!
But it is such a powerful influence that made David Falk lose some self-awareness. For example, when the league was suspended in 1998, this guy actually openly shouted at the league, saying that if the league did not agree to the labor requirements, he would lead His players went to form a whole new league!
He even actually asked Ewing, Mourning and others to play several very high-standard games that summer, giving the bosses a kick.
But Falke's unclear behavior also put him on the league's blacklist.
They can accept you negotiating on behalf of the players to ask for higher profits, but the league will never allow someone to threaten and intimidate them by starting a new business.
This is why Falk, who was so prosperous in the 90s, disappeared from the NBA at the speed of light after the beginning of the 21st century.
Although there is no evidence to prove that he was squeezed out, everyone believes that the league's boss and David Stern reached a secret agreement during this labor negotiation. They want to remove Falke. Guys, get kicked out of the league!
Well, such a ruthless and capable guy becomes his agent?It seems pretty good!
Lin Tian doesn't care whether Falk will be targeted or banned by the alliance. As long as he can get enough benefits for himself, then he is a good agent!
As for what to do after the 21st century...
Then change another agent!
Therefore, after hearing that Jordan was going to introduce Falke to him, he followed Jordan into the car without any pretense and went all the way to Falke's company in Chicago.
You can tell from the company's very grand door and luxuriously decorated appearance that this guy is really doing well now!The absolute top agency in the league, signing with them will indeed bring a lot of benefits to Lin Tian.
Their connections, reputation and experience will definitely allow Lin Tian to take further steps in business development!
"David! We're here!" As soon as Jordan entered the office building, he greeted a shrewd guy with a face full of shrewdness. Needless to say, this man was the NBA's famous number one agent: David Farr. gram!
However, Lin Tian's attention was not on David Falke, but was attracted by the young man in front of Falke.
This guy was nodding and begging Falk, saying that he needed a chance, an internship opportunity, even if he didn't get a salary, he just wanted to intern here.
As the guy spoke, he pulled out his resume again and began to describe his past experience.
But Falk didn't listen to what this guy said at all. Instead, he waved his hand impatiently and said: "I have guests coming. If you continue to pester me, I will ask the security to take you out! Now, immediately, immediately, Get out!"
After saying that, Falk didn't even look at the young man, but put on a smile and said: "Michael! My good buddy! Your latest AJ has sold out again. Did you know? You have established a A whole sneaker empire! Let me see who this is?"
"This must be Michael's most annoying but talented little bastard! Lin, it's an honor to meet you. Michael often speaks ill of you in front of me!" Falk looked full of energy and smiled. Lin Tian shook hands.
I have to admit that Falk has a natural affinity that makes people want to get close to him. His smile, tone and the way he speaks make it very easy to gain the trust of others.
Presumably, this is one of the reasons why he can become a top agent!
"Come on, let's go to the office and talk! Michael said his good guy needs a professional agent, and I gotta say, you won't find a more professional agent than me in the entire United States! Come on, let's talk Let’s talk!”
The three of them walked through the magnificent corridor. Falk kept greeting people along the way, showing his infinite energy. Then he pushed open the door at the end of the corridor, came to his office, and sat down directly. .
"Lin, how about we start directly? First listen to the career plan I give you! I promise to create a top-notch business plan for you in the league!" As soon as Falk sat down, he couldn't wait to get to the point. Obviously, he Not a guy who likes to go around in circles and dilly-dally.
Moreover, he obviously really studied Lin Tian carefully and took out a thick stack of business plans. He really prepared a complete set of business plans!
"First of all, I think you need to have a sneaker brand! Only in that way can you become a real star! Real stars have their own signature shoes! AJ! There is no doubt that you should sign with AJ! You and Michael are Teammates, you should wear the same shoes!"
"I even helped you think about your first commercial. How about shooting it with Michael? Just focus on the story of the two of you who like to bicker and never give in to each other but are best friends! Just rely on this commercial. , you can soar into the sky and become a new generation of American idol!"
"I have already drawn up the contract, you can sign it directly! Trust David, he never deceives his clients!" Falk said, actually taking out two contracts at the same time: "This is for you and AJ With the endorsement contract, you’ll have your own shoes to wear next season!”
"This is the employment contract between you and me! But I suggest you sign this after signing the sneaker contract, so that you can save a lot of remuneration! If you sign the employment contract first, then you will sign it later You have to pay me for every word! Hahaha!"
"Then, after settling the most important sneaker contract for the players, we don't have to worry about the rest. My suggestion is that you can find a few small endorsements to talk about first, preferably with local brands. Lord, let’s work step by step and eat the local fans in Chicago to death first. The local money in Chicago alone is enough for you to make! Then we will look at the United States.”
While listening to Falke's spiel, Lin Tian looked at the contract he handed to him, and then lightly interrupted Falke's speech: "30 US dollars per year until I retire from the league?"
"Yes Lin! This is definitely a great contract, and there are no additional clauses! I have considered everything! Let's put it this way, if you are injured, your form declines and you can't even play, but as long as you don't retire, you can Take $30 a year from AJ’s wallet!”
Seeing Falk's excitement, Lin Tian suddenly didn't want to talk anymore. This guy, like Klaus, regarded himself as an idiot!
"David, I came here just for Michael's sake. I really don't want Michael's status in my heart to decline because of your selfishness or anything else." Lin Tian didn't hide it either. He said directly: "This contract is simply used to deceive children!"
"Do you really think I can't understand? Every year I don't play enough games, so my money will be deducted! I don't have enough basic data, so my money will be deducted! I don't have enough playing time, so my money will be deducted! I can't be selected as an All-Star, so my money will be deducted!"
"They are all money deduction items. Where is the reward part?" Lin Tian looked at Falk and said: "If this is your sincerity, then I can only say that your sincerity is not as valuable as the stripper's chastity. !”
Begging for a monthly pass...
(End of this chapter)
He decided to upgrade the one-handed pass he received from 'Magician' to LV3 first!
Firstly, Lin Tian does not want to and cannot play as a substitute next season, so he needs to show more skills in passing and feeding the ball, so that he can better cooperate with the starting lineup.
The second thing is the most important. If one-handed passing reaches LV3, then you can combine it with fast passing LV3 and see what new things can be combined!
Thinking of doing it, Lin Tian opened the system and first passed the ball to his one-handed ball, which was upgraded to LV3.
“单手传球LV3(0/8000):使用单手传球时出球速度增加15%,传球精准度增加15%。”
After the skill upgrade, Lin Tian merged the two LV3 passing skills without thinking.
Although these two are also LV3 skills.
But one upgrade requires 8000 experience points, and the other only requires 4000 experience points. The huge gap is really disappointing.
"Skill fusion is being carried out for the host."
"Skill fusion completed!"
"The host gains a new skill: One-handed quick pass LV3 (762/10000)"
"One-handed quick pass: One-handed passing speed increases by 18%, passing accuracy increases by 18%, and if you pass the ball during the transition between offense and defense, the passing field of view increases by an additional 10%!"
Well, much better than expected!Although the name of this new skill looks boring, unattractive, and lacks any sparkle, at least it has a new attribute, right?There is still money to be made!
Then, Lin Tian used his remaining experience to upgrade the 'air dance' that had been waiting for him!
“空中舞步LV2(0/4000):提升宿主篮下终结能力10%!若弹跳评价达到A-,之后弹跳每提升一个级别,终结能力额外提升3%!”
After upgrading these two skills, Lin Tian's experience value bottomed out again, with less than 200 left. Lin Tian also opened the system and wanted to appreciate his new status value.

The biggest improvement for Lin Tian this time is undoubtedly his physical strength, which has directly climbed three levels, from a B- below average in the league to an A- today. The current Lin Tian can definitely say One sentence is good for physical strength!
Then there is his breakthrough and dribbling ability. Maybe it is because he has made more breakthroughs since the playoffs than before, maybe it is the residual ability of Iverson's experience card, and of course there is also the improvement that comes with the upgrade of 'Aerial Dance'. In short, Lin Tian has also improved these two abilities.
The only pity is that although he has upgraded his passing skills, his passing attributes are still stuck at S- and cannot go further. This makes Lin Tian somewhat depressed.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder!
Then, Lin Tian looked at the piles of various experience cards, props and other things, and actually felt a little sympathy for his opponents next season.
Well, because Lin Daguan feels that he has used these things too sparingly this season and must use them more next season!If you take it from the people, you must use it for the people!
After settling all this, it was almost time for the team to assemble.
Although the sad girls in Seattle need comfort, there are also many excited girls in Chicago who hope to celebrate the championship with the players!
You can’t treat one favorably over another!
As a result, all members of the Bulls boarded a plane back to Chicago the afternoon after they won the championship.
What awaits them next will be cheers, shouts and welcomes from the entire city, as well as the most exciting and passionate city tour!
Next, most of the Bulls can go on vacation and rest.
The long season is finally over.
But although the season is over, the eyes of all fans, players, and team management in the United States are still on the Bulls!
Because this summer, the biggest fish in NBA free market history swam out!
Michael Jordan will become a free agent for the first time in his career!
The eight-year, $8 million contract he signed with the Bulls has finally expired. Which team he will sign with and what kind of contract he will sign in the new season will definitely become the biggest deal in the entire league this summer. , the best and most engaging soap opera.
Especially, after Ewing signed the 1800 million annual salary contract last summer, the salary of the entire league is destined to rise rapidly, entering the tens of millions era.
Those top players with salaries of 2 to 3 million, as long as their contracts expire, will definitely be able to sign a huge contract this summer that they could not even imagine or dare to hope for before!
Miller, Barkley, Drexler, including Ewing, who only signed for one year last year, their contracts will expire this summer. Countless fans feel as if the money can fall into their pockets. They will continue to pay attention to the contract renewal status of these top stars from the first second of the free market.
Well, Scottie Pippen said that I'm not interested at all, don't care at all, and just want to go on vacation to Hawaii.
As for the last member of the Bulls' Iron Triangle, Rodman, like Jordan, will also become a free agent this summer. However, his value is much lower than Jordan's, even though he is the rebounding leader and the league's top defender. A member of the lineup, but the things Rodman did with the Spurs and Pistons made most team owners stay away from him.
Who knows if he has really become a good person, or if he has temporarily curbed his toxicity for the big contract?
But no matter what choices Rodman, Jordan and other big-name free agents make, this year's offseason is destined to be extremely exciting!At the same time, a large amount of money from the bosses will be taken away by the players!
In fact, Lin Tian knows better than anyone else that it was precisely because of the various crazy contracts made by the owners and players this summer, including next year's offseason, that led to the league's shutdown in the summer of 1998.
Because players' wages are so high, in the 1997-1998 season, 29 of the 25 teams in the league actually suffered losses. In this case, no matter what, both labor and management have to renegotiate. The salary terms are well regulated.
You know, although there is a salary cap in today's league, there are no real maximum salary clauses and luxury tax clauses. The length and details of the contract, as well as various guarantees, buyouts, jump-out and other clauses are also very unclear. Clearly, in this situation, it is easy for some crazy contracts to appear.
For example, the crazy contract with an annual salary of 3000 million yuan that Jordan will sign this summer!
The salary cap for next season is only about US$2400 million!
Jordan alone occupies 125% of the salary cap!
Another example is Ewing's 80 million annual salary contract last summer, which accounted for 1800% of the salary cap.
This is unimaginable in the NBA in the 21st century. Even if the boss is willing to pay, the rules will never allow anyone to pay such a high salary to the players.
Even if Jordan meets all the Rose clauses, veteran clauses or any other clauses, you can get a contract with a starting salary of 35% of the salary cap and a maximum of 5 years on the very first day!
Due to the rules, there is no need to talk about it!
And what about today’s alliance?
There is no fixed maximum salary standard, and there is no clear stipulation on how many years a contract should be signed.
Among the rules that fans are familiar with, only one 'Bird Rights' exists in today's league, and it is quite different from the later completed version.
The so-called Bird Rights are officially called the 'Larry Bird Clause'. Bird's contract expired that year, but the Celtics' salary cap had been filled. According to the rules at the time, the Celtics could only make a large number of transactions. Clear space before re-signing Bird, because the team's salary that year is not allowed to exceed the salary cap.
But after the league studied it, in order to allow Bird to stay with the Celtics and continue the buzz, enjoyment and ratings of the battle between the black and white heroes and the yellow and green, the officials specially added such a 'Larry Bird clause'. So that Bird can continue to stay with the Celtics, and the Celtics don't have to dismantle half of the team to keep Bird.
The so-called Larry Bird clause means that when a player has played for a team for three consecutive years without any transfer records in the middle, then the team can use Larry Bird for this player. Terms, that is, if you have the player's 'Bird Rights', you can then ignore the salary cap and renew the player's contract, which is the so-called over-cap contract extension.
But although the league today has Bird Rights, there is no maximum salary limit and there is no luxury tax.
This leads to the fact that as long as the boss and the players agree, any contract can be signed!
In principle, as long as the boss is willing to give it, 1 million in one year is fine, or 1 billion in 10 years!
As long as the players are willing to sign, 1 million in one year is fine, or 200 million in 20 years!
For example, last summer, Ewing signed the first multi-million-level annual salary contract in NBA history with an annual salary of 2200 million when the salary cap was only 1800 million.
In addition, in addition to no limit on the amount, there is no limit on the number of years a player can sign a contract.
For example, the rookie duo who entered the league in 1994.
Robinson, the No. [-] pick, and Kidd, the No. [-] pick, from a certain perspective, these two guys are absolutely perfect!
'Big Dog' Robinson entered the league and wanted to sign a crazy contract worth 13 million yuan over 1 years. Of course, the team rejected him, and after some bargaining, the two sides settled the deal for 10 million yuan over 6800 years.
As for Kidd, he quoted a nine-year price of 9 million to the Mavericks, and the two parties finally closed the deal at this price.
It is precisely because these two guys are so crazy without even playing a game in the league that the league directly changed the terms of the rookie contract. Starting in 1995, all rookies can only sign a fixed template contract, and there is no bargaining. space, which makes the contracts of rookies fair and transparent.
In addition, the most famous long-term contract is the 25-year, 2500 million contract that Magic signed with the Lakers as soon as he entered the league. At the time, it seemed like a crazy contract with a sky-high price.
Well, it is worth mentioning that as the salary cap increased and the league's income soared, Dr. Buss, the league's number one good owner, took the initiative to discuss with Magic, voided the contract, and signed a new one with a higher amount. Super contract.
Magic's newly signed super contract originally allowed him to become the first owner of a multi-million-dollar annual salary in NBA history during the 1994-1995 season. He could have received a salary of US$1400 million that year. However, He was out of the league that year...
That's why the owner of the first tens of millions of annual salary in history was given to Ewing.
Another thing worth mentioning is that the 1991-year, 7 million contract that Pippen signed for free in 2000 and the 8-year, 2500 million contract that Jordan signed that year. With the salary cap increasing, the Bulls In fact, you can also negotiate with them to sign a new contract.
Well, the management of the Bulls didn't even mention it. With Jordan's self-esteem and character, naturally he wouldn't say a word about it. If you don't give it, I won't be shameless enough to ask for it. .
But maybe it's because of this that the contract negotiations between Jordan and the Bulls, which are about to begin this summer, are so stiff that Jordan almost completed the transfer and left Chicago.
Well, of course, Jordan wanted to save face and not take the initiative to bring it up, but Pippen really wanted to re-sign for a high price, but, the Bulls refused... That's why this Bulls hero would think about it after the contract expired. He didn't even think about it, so he left Chicago directly to pursue his multi-million contract.
There are players like Jordan and Pippen who are low-paid and high-powered, and of course there are players who have grabbed the limelight and received huge contracts.
For example, Lin Tian’s fellow rookie Kevin Garnett!
Kevin Garnett will sign that crazy seven-year, $1998 million contract in 7. Then, this contract will instantly allow countless owners to break their defenses and directly shut down the league!
Looking at this contract from the perspective of the 2020s, it is really not that good, it is nothing!
But if you look at it from the perspective of the late 90s to the early 21st century, it is simply crazy!
For example, in the last year of this contract, Garnett's salary reached 2800 million US dollars!
What does this mean?
For example, in the same year, Allen Iverson and Duncan together did not receive 2600 million. Kobe and Kidd, who were selected to the NBA's first team of the year together with Garnett, only received 2700 million together. .
How do you describe the feeling that the number 2800 million brings to people in 2004, a season in which all the rules have been very perfect?
Just like Frieza appeared in front of Sun Wukong and said lightly: "Your combat power is only 18? My combat power is 53!"
In any case, the imperfections and too many loopholes in the rules did lead to the league's shutdown in the summer of 1998.
In this summer with confusing salary rules and extremely crazy signing of new contracts, one soap opera after another is bound to happen!
However, Lin Tian never expected that the first participant in this soap opera would be himself!
Just after the season ended, a group of Bulls players enthusiastically participated in the Bulls' championship parade. Everyone was as excited as a group of children weighing 200 to 300 pounds. The next day, the Bulls general manager, the real death Fatty Klaus called Lin Tian to his office.
"It's all so wonderful, isn't it Lin." Klaus showed his trademark smile and looked at Lin Tiandao: "The feeling of winning the championship, the feeling of being loved by the fans, the whole city It feels good to cheer for you, celebrate you, and treat you as a hero, right?”
"It's true, Mr. General Manager, we will do it again next year!" Lin Tian probably guessed why Klaus suddenly came to him, but at this time, he showed a pure and stupid expression, a cute look New.
Klaus smiled, but did not continue the topic. Instead, he said lightly: "As far as I know, you don't have an agent? There are many local businesses in Chicago who want to cooperate with you this year, but they can't find you. , I can't contact you." "There was at first, but that guy didn't think I could gain a foothold in the NBA, so after the draft, I fired him." Lin Tian shrugged and said, "I I just want to play well, so I don’t think it matters whether I have an agent or not.”
After hearing Lin Tian's words, Klaus's eyes lit up obviously!
He felt that this boy could fool him!
This is definitely a person who is full of passion, passionate love, and plays basketball just for the sake of basketball, and is free from such low-level interests as money!
Otherwise, how could a normal person not want an agent?
Well...because Lin Tian didn't tell the truth to him.
The agent he found when he first entered the league really didn't think Lin Tian could gain a foothold in the league, so that guy's idea was to make money as soon as he could!One month after Lin Tian was drafted by the Bulls, he frantically contacted Lin Tian for various activities!
Let Lin Tian attend any real estate ribbon cutting, pet shop opening, burger shop taste tester, or even the hell strip club opening!
After discovering that this guy was just trying to make him look like an idiot, Lin Tian fired him without even thinking about it. After that, Lin Tian didn't hire a new agent.
Lin Tian feels that he hasn't made a name for himself yet, and everything will have to wait until he makes a name for himself!
He doesn't want to create a lot of dark history for tens of thousands of dollars!
However, such a small misunderstanding turned out to Klaus that Lin Tian only wanted to play ball and was not interested in anything else.
"Lin, you are my favorite in our team! You are simple, love basketball, and keep your original intention! This is a characteristic that other old bastards in the team don't have! I really think you can stay with the Bulls forever. Go on until you retire!"
"Together, we can accomplish many wonderful things and win many championships! I believe that after Scott and Michael retire, you will be the MVP of the league and lead the Bulls to win several more championships! You He is who I think he is, the future leader of the team!"
"Great! This is the purpose of my joining the alliance!" Lin Tian followed Klaus's words, his face full of longing. He wanted to see what this stingy fat man was going to do.
"But, Lin, I want to build a dynasty with you so much, but we have encountered something not good, the team's salary space!" Klaus said with a very sincere expression: "According to Judging from our current situation, we may not be able to keep you next summer, and you will most likely be poached by other teams by then."
"I swear, I really don't want this to happen, but we don't have your bird rights, so there are some things I really can't do about!"
Seeing the explosive performance of Klaus, Lin Tian continued to nod in agreement, wanting to see what this guy could say in the end.
"So, Lin! In order for you to stay in the Bulls, and for you to lead this team to win several more championships after Michael retires, I have thought of a very good way! A perfect way!"
"We can renew your rookie contract in advance! Just renew it for one year. In this way, in the summer after two years, when your contract expires, we will own your bird rights, and we can use a super generous contract to Renew your contract!"
"So, what you mean is, let me use the basic salary of a second-round pick to play for one more year? Fortunately, I can sign a huge contract in the summer of 2?" Lin Tian looked at Klaus with his fox tail, and also A smile of unknown meaning leaked out.
"Yes, Lin, it's just one year! This way you can stay in Chicago forever! Be a part of Chicago forever! Your jersey will be flying above the arena, and you will be a brand new totem of this city!"
When Klaus saw that Lin Tian might take the bait, he immediately sent out a set of cake combinations, hoping to make Lin Tian's belly bloated!
"Sorry, I won't agree." Lin Tian refused without even thinking!
Just kidding, I'm not stupid, why would I agree to work here for a year for nothing at a bargain price?
Do you do charity?
"Don't you believe me, Lin? I can guarantee that I will sign a contract with you with the highest standard at the time! I guarantee that you can get an annual salary of tens of millions! I guarantee that the length and amount of this contract will be both It’s something you can’t imagine!”
"What if I get injured? What if I don't play as well as expected in the next two years and don't improve? What if I get into some trouble and get suspended from the league for a long time?"
"Mr. General Manager, when that time comes, are you still willing to renew my contract with the super maximum salary?"
"Why wouldn't I want to! If you are willing to give, of course I am willing to give you something in return! Sincerity for sincerity is always the best medicine!"
"Then why don't you give Scott a brand new contract worthy of him? Why did you only come to me?" Lin Tian looked at Klaus, knowing that this conversation was almost over.
Klaus thinks he is an idiot, so he will listen to what Klaus has to say and let Klaus know who is the idiot!
"So, Mr. General Manager, with all due respect, your guarantee is worthless in my opinion! I will not give up tens of millions of dollars in benefits for the sake of empty promises, let alone the so-called ideals and passions. Such stuff, people treat them like idiots.”
"If it's okay, I'll leave." Lin Tian stood up and walked out of his office, ignoring Klaus's angry facial features.
Lin Tian clearly heard... there was a crackling sound in the office.
Klaus was furious!He originally wanted to trick Lin Tian, but he was fooled by this newbie!
Then, a frustrated Klaus made the stupid decision he regretted most this summer.
He called Jackson: "Phil, next season, reduce Lin's playing time! I want to lower the price! I want him to only get a minimum salary contract with us! This kind of thing is also good for you. ,Right?"
"Why didn't you say it at the beginning of this season? Then I could put Michael on the bench, and then you could really lower his price this year. It's not because of such a brilliant idea that you idiot just thought of it now. Bar?"
"FUXX!" Klaus cursed angrily, then slammed the phone on the table.
For him, the beginning of this offseason was terrible!
Lin Tian was in a good mood at the moment, whistling, and walked all the way outside the arena.
In fact, he originally thought that he was going to play in the Olympics this year and could compete with the Dream Team [-], but as a result, no one from the national team has contacted him yet.
Then there is a high probability that he, an 'outsider', will not be invited to play in the Olympics. Lin Tian doesn't care about this kind of thing at all. If you invite me, I will go. If you don't invite me, don't think that I will. I actively beg you to let me play ball!
But now that he doesn't have to play in the Olympics, Lin Tian will be free throughout the offseason. He plans to stay in Chicago for a few days, then return to China for a few days, and then go to Los Angeles to meet Magic and Thomas. Train him well for a month.
Then... it’s time to take a vacation and eat as much as you like!
Lin Tian will definitely have a great time this offseason!
Just when Lin Tian was humming a little tune and walked all the way to the entrance of the arena, a familiar figure suddenly came out: "You didn't agree to that idiot fat man, did you? If you agreed, I will fight in with you now and let him kill him." Break up the contract!"
Jordan looked at Lin Tian angrily, obviously he had received the news from somewhere and knew that Klaus was going to attack Lin Tian.
"Michael, can you be more mature? Do you think I'm an idiot?" Lin Tian rolled his eyes and said, Jordan's distrust of him simply made him think of him as an idiot.
"You don't have an agent, who knows if you will be deceived by him!" Jordan was surprisingly not angry, but grabbed Lin Tiandao: "Come with me! I will take you to see David, and you will sign at the university Wei! As long as he is here, you will never suffer a loss in this life!"
Of course Lin Tian knew who David was who Jordan was talking about.
The famous David Falk!
The league's number one agent in the 90s, he had more than half of the league's top stars on his hands, including Shaquille O'Neal, Patrick Ewing, and of course Michael Jordan!
It’s no exaggeration to say that David Falke, who was at his peak, could control the league. With Jordan in his hands, he single-handedly created the AJ brand myth for Jordan. Coupled with his strong negotiation skills and connections, in 1998 When the league was suspended in the summer, he was even called the number one enemy of the management by many people in the league!
But it is such a powerful influence that made David Falk lose some self-awareness. For example, when the league was suspended in 1998, this guy actually openly shouted at the league, saying that if the league did not agree to the labor requirements, he would lead His players went to form a whole new league!
He even actually asked Ewing, Mourning and others to play several very high-standard games that summer, giving the bosses a kick.
But Falke's unclear behavior also put him on the league's blacklist.
They can accept you negotiating on behalf of the players to ask for higher profits, but the league will never allow someone to threaten and intimidate them by starting a new business.
This is why Falk, who was so prosperous in the 90s, disappeared from the NBA at the speed of light after the beginning of the 21st century.
Although there is no evidence to prove that he was squeezed out, everyone believes that the league's boss and David Stern reached a secret agreement during this labor negotiation. They want to remove Falke. Guys, get kicked out of the league!
Well, such a ruthless and capable guy becomes his agent?It seems pretty good!
Lin Tian doesn't care whether Falk will be targeted or banned by the alliance. As long as he can get enough benefits for himself, then he is a good agent!
As for what to do after the 21st century...
Then change another agent!
Therefore, after hearing that Jordan was going to introduce Falke to him, he followed Jordan into the car without any pretense and went all the way to Falke's company in Chicago.
You can tell from the company's very grand door and luxuriously decorated appearance that this guy is really doing well now!The absolute top agency in the league, signing with them will indeed bring a lot of benefits to Lin Tian.
Their connections, reputation and experience will definitely allow Lin Tian to take further steps in business development!
"David! We're here!" As soon as Jordan entered the office building, he greeted a shrewd guy with a face full of shrewdness. Needless to say, this man was the NBA's famous number one agent: David Farr. gram!
However, Lin Tian's attention was not on David Falke, but was attracted by the young man in front of Falke.
This guy was nodding and begging Falk, saying that he needed a chance, an internship opportunity, even if he didn't get a salary, he just wanted to intern here.
As the guy spoke, he pulled out his resume again and began to describe his past experience.
But Falk didn't listen to what this guy said at all. Instead, he waved his hand impatiently and said: "I have guests coming. If you continue to pester me, I will ask the security to take you out! Now, immediately, immediately, Get out!"
After saying that, Falk didn't even look at the young man, but put on a smile and said: "Michael! My good buddy! Your latest AJ has sold out again. Did you know? You have established a A whole sneaker empire! Let me see who this is?"
"This must be Michael's most annoying but talented little bastard! Lin, it's an honor to meet you. Michael often speaks ill of you in front of me!" Falk looked full of energy and smiled. Lin Tian shook hands.
I have to admit that Falk has a natural affinity that makes people want to get close to him. His smile, tone and the way he speaks make it very easy to gain the trust of others.
Presumably, this is one of the reasons why he can become a top agent!
"Come on, let's go to the office and talk! Michael said his good guy needs a professional agent, and I gotta say, you won't find a more professional agent than me in the entire United States! Come on, let's talk Let’s talk!”
The three of them walked through the magnificent corridor. Falk kept greeting people along the way, showing his infinite energy. Then he pushed open the door at the end of the corridor, came to his office, and sat down directly. .
"Lin, how about we start directly? First listen to the career plan I give you! I promise to create a top-notch business plan for you in the league!" As soon as Falk sat down, he couldn't wait to get to the point. Obviously, he Not a guy who likes to go around in circles and dilly-dally.
Moreover, he obviously really studied Lin Tian carefully and took out a thick stack of business plans. He really prepared a complete set of business plans!
"First of all, I think you need to have a sneaker brand! Only in that way can you become a real star! Real stars have their own signature shoes! AJ! There is no doubt that you should sign with AJ! You and Michael are Teammates, you should wear the same shoes!"
"I even helped you think about your first commercial. How about shooting it with Michael? Just focus on the story of the two of you who like to bicker and never give in to each other but are best friends! Just rely on this commercial. , you can soar into the sky and become a new generation of American idol!"
"I have already drawn up the contract, you can sign it directly! Trust David, he never deceives his clients!" Falk said, actually taking out two contracts at the same time: "This is for you and AJ With the endorsement contract, you’ll have your own shoes to wear next season!”
"This is the employment contract between you and me! But I suggest you sign this after signing the sneaker contract, so that you can save a lot of remuneration! If you sign the employment contract first, then you will sign it later You have to pay me for every word! Hahaha!"
"Then, after settling the most important sneaker contract for the players, we don't have to worry about the rest. My suggestion is that you can find a few small endorsements to talk about first, preferably with local brands. Lord, let’s work step by step and eat the local fans in Chicago to death first. The local money in Chicago alone is enough for you to make! Then we will look at the United States.”
While listening to Falke's spiel, Lin Tian looked at the contract he handed to him, and then lightly interrupted Falke's speech: "30 US dollars per year until I retire from the league?"
"Yes Lin! This is definitely a great contract, and there are no additional clauses! I have considered everything! Let's put it this way, if you are injured, your form declines and you can't even play, but as long as you don't retire, you can Take $30 a year from AJ’s wallet!”
Seeing Falk's excitement, Lin Tian suddenly didn't want to talk anymore. This guy, like Klaus, regarded himself as an idiot!
"David, I came here just for Michael's sake. I really don't want Michael's status in my heart to decline because of your selfishness or anything else." Lin Tian didn't hide it either. He said directly: "This contract is simply used to deceive children!"
"Do you really think I can't understand? Every year I don't play enough games, so my money will be deducted! I don't have enough basic data, so my money will be deducted! I don't have enough playing time, so my money will be deducted! I can't be selected as an All-Star, so my money will be deducted!"
"They are all money deduction items. Where is the reward part?" Lin Tian looked at Falk and said: "If this is your sincerity, then I can only say that your sincerity is not as valuable as the stripper's chastity. !”
Begging for a monthly pass...
