The rise of the NBA superstar

Chapter 184, the contract is finalized.

"Even so, do you know what 1500 million is? Kobe is only 2000 million, and Lee doesn't deserve this salary at all."

Presti wiped the sweat off his brow and roared loudly.

He didn't expect that Rob Pelinka's attitude would be so tough, and the current situation seemed to show that Li Senlin would not renew his contract with the Thunder.

If Li Senlin really doesn't renew his contract with the Thunder, the fans will riot.

Presti now regrets that he didn't negotiate with Li Senlin to renew his contract after the Jazz game, or set Li Senlin's future during the losing streak, which led to the current situation.

The current situation is too passive.

"It's up to you whether it's worth the price or not, as long as someone in the market is willing to give it to you."

Rob Pelinka went on to say forcefully that he could see that Presti was on the brink of exhaustion.

This is the case when negotiating a contract. The two sides are constantly playing games.

After hearing Pelinka's response, Presti lowered his head and thought for a while.

Quickly looked up and issued a new amount.

"3 million in three years, no more."

When Pelinka heard that Presti had given in, he was also relieved, and he was also afraid that Presti would not accept the move...

"2 million in 2800 years"

When Presti heard Pelinka's price cut, he also let go of the stone in his heart.

From this point of view, Li Senlin wanted to stay in the Thunder, so that would be easy.

"3 million in 3200 years"

…………

The two sides are constantly discussing the selling price of Li Senlin's children's shoes.

a long time.

…………

"Li, congratulations, you are going to become a multi-millionaire. Haha, two years, 2400 million US dollars, and you have the right to jump out of the contract in the second year."

When Li Senlin heard Rob Pelinka's hearty laughter from the phone, he knew that he had sold himself.

"Well, Pelinka, thank you. I want to treat you to a big meal. When can I sign the contract?" Li Senlin was also very happy.

"Come here now and sign immediately. Presti has already discussed with your Thunder boss, haha, hurry up and sign before they regret it."

Rob Pelinka was very excited. As long as Li Senlin signed this contract, he would immediately have another player with an annual salary of tens of millions.

"Well, OK, I'll go now."

Li Senlin said excitedly.

This annual salary reflects the value, three times that of Durant and four times that of Westbrook.

The two future MVPs fought life and death, fought bloody battles, worked hard for a year, and their combined salary was not as high as their own. Li Senlin was happy thinking about it.

Now the league's salary signing system is different from what Li Senlin knew before, with some fine-tuning,

Before time-traveling, the NBA generally signed 4-year contracts for first-round picks, and 1+1 contracts for second-round picks. Only undrafted picks can sign 1-year contracts. But after time-traveling, the rules for second-round picks have changed. Like losing the draft, it depends on the negotiation between the player and the team.

This is the case with Li Senlin. The Thunder did not give Li Senlin 1+1, but gave it for 1 year. Of course, they made this decision by themselves and made themselves miserable.

In contrast, Li Senlin made a lot of money.

The difference between loss and profit depends entirely on Li Senlin's performance on the court. If Li Senlin does not perform well, he will have to leave in the second year...

This is the survival rule of the NBA. As long as you have the strength, you can get rich overnight. If you don't have the strength, then accept the fate of being eliminated.

…………

As soon as Li Senlin hung up the phone, he immediately left and rushed to Thunder's office.

In the general manager's office, in front of several team executives, Li Senlin signed his own name on his sell-off contract.

After signing his name, it means that he will become the highest paid player in the Thunder next season.

Seeing Presti a little aggrieved but having to face it with a smile, Li Senlin felt relieved.

Call you awesome, tell you to pull.

The two greeted with a friendly handshake, Li Senlin looked at Qian's face, and "smiled to express gratitude and enmity" with Presti.

The contract came into effect on July 7 this year.

The signed contract has to wait for the approval of the league, which is just a process.

After the process is completed, Thunderclap will formally hold a press conference and make an official announcement.

But in the Internet age, information is transmitted very quickly.

An hour after Li Senlin finished signing, the media broke the news.

"The youngest Mr. 70 points won a ten million contract."

"A Chinese kid with an annual salary of tens of millions."

"Mr. 70 points is determined to stay with the Thunder and get a two-year 2400 million contract."

"Congratulations to him, the youngest Mr. Ten Million in history."

In addition to the detailed text reports, there are also photos of Li Senlin shaking hands with Presti after signing.

In addition to expressing surprise, more media and stars expressed doubts about Li Senlin's high annual salary.

Now the price of an NBA All-Star is between 1000 million and 2000 million, and few people can get more than 2000 million.

Li Senlin's salary can be ranked among the top 30 in the NBA, but he is still just a rookie, and he is still an unstable and controversial rookie.

Chris Paul: "A rookie who averaged 15 points per game can get this salary after breaking out in a few games, so should Durant also get a raise?"

ESPM: "Li Senlin's status in the team is either the second or the third, but he has a salary that is more than Durant and Westbrook combined. Presti should consider how to balance the locker room Problem."

Fox Sports: "The total salary of the Thunder this season is 6000 million U.S. dollars, but next season will directly soar to 7800 million U.S. dollars. What about their future? Li Senlin gave 1200 million, so what about Durant and Westbrook? Li Senlin has not yet It proves that his combat power can be stabilized at the level of tens of millions of annual salary for a long time."

After training, Yao Ming wiped off his sweat, learned the news from the reporter, and immediately said to the media: "Congratulations to Li Senlin, haha, I couldn't get so much money in my rookie season, he is not married yet. Well, you don’t need to keep the money with your wife, then you have to learn how to manage money.”

…………

After Li Senlin signed the contract, he immediately called Westbrook and Durant to explain the situation to these two teammates.

After the Thunder won the Nuggets, the atmosphere in the locker room was much better. Compared with the heavy atmosphere during the losing streak, there is now a lot of joy.

Kobe was right, winning can cover up all problems.

After hearing Li Senlin's explanation, the two didn't mind and both congratulated him.

Naturally, it is impossible to bring this kind of matter to the public. If they want to compete, they must compete in private. The three of them are still superficial brothers.

…………

The fact that Li Senlin got a tens of millions of contracts did not cause much disturbance among domestic fans, but the sports media reported it symbolically.

Of course, it didn't cause much sensation among fans, but it still spread among sports practitioners.

In the domestic sports industry, if calculated this way, Li Senlin's annual income can be ranked in the top three, without endorsements.

Apart from Yao Ming and Liu Xiang, he is the tallest athlete.

The most important thing is that both Yao Ming and Liu Xiang are at the end of their careers, while Li Senlin is only playing in the NBA in his first year.

Although Li Senlin began to officially fulfill the new contract after the end of this season, this does not prevent him from becoming one of the most valuable top players.

Li Senlin has become a god in the country, and in the eyes of the fans, the salary increase is just to set off his more powerful existence.

Various brand owners have also started to take action one after another, asking for the contact information of Li Senlin's agent.

…………

When Lin Weiwei was taking a break between classes, she also heard the news from Milan that Li Senlin had received an annual salary of tens of millions.

She sat at her desk, looked out the window, and meditated.

"The gap with him seems to be getting farther and farther."

Lin Weiwei, who has always been very confident, has become confused in front of an exceptionally good pursuit, and Li Senlin seems to have become a goal that she will never catch up with.

22 years old, with an annual salary of tens of millions, still in US dollars, a good player, and a handsome man, can such a man handle it by himself?

Lin Weiwei knew that no one could give her the answer to this question, not even Li Senlin. She had never been in a relationship before, and now she was a little flustered.

"Wei Wei, what's the matter? Why did you become so melancholy? This isn't like you. Tell me, which handsome guy is he? We Wei Wei have beautiful breasts and big breasts. Whoever is attracted to is lucky."

Milan looked at Lin's slightly bulging chest and said.

She envied Lin Weiwei very much.

Lin Weiwei is about 173 cm tall, with big long legs, and she is relatively precocious, and her figure has already developed in all aspects. Now at school, I don’t know how many boys are secretly in love with her. Anyway, Milan has helped to receive many love letters. ...

"What are you talking about, you don't look like a girl."

When Lin Weiwei heard the word "beautiful and big breasts", she got angry and her face changed instantly.

She was a little helpless towards Milan's outspokenness, but she dared to say anything in the classroom.

Lin Weiwei doesn't want to talk about Li Senlin with Milan.

If Milan knew that her relationship with Li Senlin was unclear, it would definitely complicate things further.

"Hee hee, isn't this melancholy?"

Milan feels that Lin Weiwei has been preoccupied recently.

If it wasn't for the two of them facing each other day and night, and commuting to and from school together, Milan would never have discovered that other boys could get close to Lin Weiwei, and Milan would have suspected that Lin Weiwei was in a relationship.

"Well, don't be depressed anymore. By the way, Milan, I will give you a surprise after the college entrance examination."

Milan's words also made Lin Weiwei feel the concern from her friends, and she no longer thought about her relationship with Li Senlin, and decided to let nature take its course.

"Okay, I'm looking forward to it, hee hee, you'll be fine, you won't have to take the college entrance examination, I'm so envious of you."

"I'll take part. I'll go to the United States after the exam. I'll accompany you specially, okay?"

"Okay, okay."

Lin Weiwei adjusted his mentality and started chatting with Milan...
