Chapter 257 An Embarrassing Record of 7 Battles and 5 Losses
Chapter 251

When he signed his name on this contract, Lei Feng's heart was beating wildly...

This is a contract worth 3.7 million, and it is still in US dollars. Converted into RMB, it is a super huge contract worth more than 20 billion!
Even if it is impossible for Lei Feng to get all of this contract, he can still get 7000 million as a guarantee, which is enough to make Lei Feng elated...

Not only Lei Feng, Lei Huo and Kaman also came to sign with Lei Feng...

Lei Huo's breathing was extremely fast. He knew more about the weight of this contract than Lei Feng did. You must know that he has been in the United States for so many years, but in the end he only managed to save less than one hundred thousand dollars...

And now, the money Lei Feng earns from a single contract is directly thousands of times his total net worth!
Not only Leihu was short of breath, but even Kaman was trembling with excitement. He never dreamed that such a large amount of contract would be the first one he signed after entering the player agent industry. Such a terrifying level!

For Kaman, this is a kind of experience and qualifications. Even if he doesn't work at Leihuo in the future, he can rely on this glamorous resume to find a more suitable job.

……

After the contract was signed, Adi immediately called Lei Feng's account 400 million US dollars for the first year!

Lei Feng did some calculations. If he signed a maximum salary contract next, it would be 600 million for four years, which would be exactly 400 million per year...

Lei Hu grinned, and said to Lei Feng, "It's really rich! It's really rich!"

Lei Feng is also smiling...

But when he thought of the incomparably high taxes, Lei Feng's face immediately became bitter...

With Lei Feng's income, the federal tax alone is close to [-]%, plus the New York state tax is about [-] points, there are some miscellaneous taxes, and the broker's commission. Generally speaking, the player's endorsement and Salary, it would be nice to get half of the net income in the end...

Kaman on the side took out a calculator, clicked it, and finally gave Lei Feng the final net income, which is the income after paying taxes...

400 million endorsements, only 220 million left...

Almost only half of the income is left in the end...

This is still without the calculation of the broker's commission, half of which is based on the broker's commission of four or five points, and it is still a pre-tax commission, which has to deduct another one million US dollars...

It means that Lei Feng may only have 1000 million US dollars left in the end...

"I'm going, it's really miserable, extremely miserable..." Lei Feng thought speechlessly, and now he finally understood why many players in the league with big contracts in their careers would be so miserable after retiring, on the verge of bankruptcy... …

The reason is that the US dollars they actually earn are much less than the contract!
"Second uncle, wait for me to come back tonight to share the spoils with you. I have a game tonight, so I'm going to practice first!"

……

In the evening game against the Magic, Lei Feng was in a great mood...

The generals of the Knicks, Fisher and others saw Lei Feng's expression, and they all knew that Lei Feng probably signed the contract successfully. As for who signed the contract, it is definitely not a guess, it must be Adidas...

……

At eight o'clock in the evening, Lei Feng was sitting on the bench waiting to play again.

To Lei Feng's disappointment, after the start of the game, Lei Feng did not trigger any missions, and until Lei Feng actually played, the missions were not triggered at all!
In other words, in today's game, Lei Feng has no chance to get Oladipo's star card.

"I'm not in a hurry this time, anyway, there are many opportunities to play against the Magic this season, take your time..." Lei Feng comforted himself...

In today's game, Lei Feng's condition was not very good. After playing 30 minutes and taking 20 shots, he only scored 21 points. Thanks to the weak strength of the Magic and the outbreak of Porzingis, otherwise In today's game, the Knicks may not be able to win the Eastern Conference Magic at home.

In the end, the Knicks narrowly defeated the Magic 98:94 while sitting at home, maintaining their winning streak and the number one throne in the Eastern Conference.

Lei Feng's 21 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists in today's game are not that outstanding. Although he scored in double figures, his offensive efficiency is relatively poor, which is a game that was not played properly.

……

However, Lei Feng didn't care too much, the statistics were not unacceptably bad, and the team won, that was enough...

……

After six consecutive victories, the Knicks continue to sit at home against the San Antonio Spurs.

Needless to say, the strength of the Spurs is a strong team in the Western Conference every year...

The momentum of the Knicks' six-game winning streak came to an abrupt end in this game, and they lost to the Spurs at home...

Losing to a team like the Spurs is actually acceptable to Lei Feng. After all, no one can guarantee that the team he leads will always win!

What really makes Lei Feng unacceptable is that his own data in this game...

Knowing that his 12-second God skills would definitely be restricted by Popovich, Lei Feng used the skills of the Four Heroes in the same field...

As a result, the luck was extremely bad, and all of them were randomly assigned to the short board abilities of the Four Heroes...

……

Under Leonard's defense, Lei Feng's state was extremely bad. In the case of 15 shots in this game, he only scored 10 points, which surprised many fans...

It stands to reason that it is extremely normal for a rookie to score ten points in a game, even if he is the champion.

You must know that there are many top picks, and they have scored a lot of single-digit points in a single game this season...

But it is a bit abnormal to put Lei Feng here, because Lei Feng just signed a super contract with Adidas!
10分4篮板7助攻1抢断1盖帽，便是雷风本场比赛最终的数据。

It can be said that it is quite a piece of data, at least for Lei Feng, this data is really unreasonable...

Of course, Lei Feng himself was very annoyed. In fact, Lei Feng already felt that his condition was not good in the last game. He did not expect that cold feeling to continue into today's game against the Spurs...

This is not the most deadly. In the next game against the Clippers, Lei Feng used the skills of the Four Heroes again with some unbelief. This time, he was randomly assigned to Chris Paul's stealing ability, but it was randomly assigned to Ball. On Zingis' body, the height of 221 bends down to steal, and the opponent can pass Porzingis a hundred times...

So this time the Four Heroes played together in the same field did not have any effect at all!
And the state of Lei Feng in this game is not good, the opponent's head coach Doc Greaves even directly took Griffin to face Lei Feng...

In the end, Lei Feng scored 19 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in this game...

The Knicks fans were in shock, they were all exclaiming where did the Knicks' omnipotent magic boy go? !
In these two games, or even in the last three games, Lei Feng's performance is not that good at all. Although he is not at the level of a fringe player in the NBA, he is not at the level that a supernova should be...

……

What made the fans even more dumbfounded was that in the next game against the Eastern Raptors, the Knicks lost again...

The bloody three-game losing streak directly turned all the Knicks into bitter faces...

Originally, with the momentum of winning streak, they began to attack the championship!
But in the blink of an eye, in just one week, their original six-game winning streak turned into a three-game losing streak, and the Cavaliers regained the top spot in the Eastern Conference.

14 wins and 7 losses, this is the current record of the Knicks...

It may look good, but it doesn't surprise the fans as much as before...

The winning rate was as high as [-]% before, but now it has dropped to [-]% winning rate, which made Lei Feng extremely distressed.

Lei Feng is also analyzing the reasons for losing three games in a row recently!
The first reason is of course my bad luck. I have used the skills of the Four Heroes three times in a row, but none of them have obtained any decent inheritance attributes!
The second reason, Lei Feng thinks it might be the Knicks' current lack of hard power...

Indeed, it seems that Lei Feng led the Knicks to defeat the Warriors, Thunder and Cavaliers before, which is simply the momentum of dominating the world!

But these three games are too random and difficult to replicate. Even Lei Feng himself can't guarantee that if he meets these teams again, he will be able to play at that level...

Of course, in Lei Feng's view, the most important reason may be that the Knicks' record is too good, and then the team is a little bit flustered!

This is definitely not Lei Feng looking for the reason for the loss from his teammates, trying to make his teammates take the blame...

In fact, Lei Feng also feels that he has been a little drifting recently. It may be that the comments from the outside world made Lei Feng start to overestimate his own strength.

……

Anthony's injury will require the end of December to return. In other words, Lei Feng will have to lead the Knicks to at least a dozen games alone!

In this wave of home games, the Knicks only won one of the four games, and then they will start another road trip!

Three away games, the first game is against the Detroit Pistons. The Pistons are still struggling in the Eastern Conference. Lei Feng finally played normally in this game. He played 38 minutes and scored 28 points, 8 rebounds, 11 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. data!
In the end, relying on Lei Feng's performance, the Knicks finally won an 8-point advantage at home in the Motor City.

Although they won the game, the Knicks are gloomy because another player in their team got injured...

Gobert sprained his ankle on the landing while fighting for rebounds with the Pistons...

Although the injury is not too serious, it still needs two weeks of recuperation!

It is also fortunate that Gobert was injured in the fourth quarter of the game, otherwise, it is still two things to say who will win and lose in today's game!

Lei Feng finally realized the pressure of leading a team and the pain of leading a team!

If Anthony is absent, it's okay to say, the big deal is that Lei Feng will play for a while, and with the arrival of Parsons, it can almost partially make up for the loss of firepower caused by Anthony's absence!
And Gobert's absence is an extremely terrible thing for the Knicks!

Gobert is an inside gate and rebounder in the Knicks. Without him, it is obviously difficult for backup center Hernangomez to fully shoulder this responsibility!

Although Porzingis is said to be able to play as a center forward and act as an inside gate, his rebounding strength is not good, at least compared to Gobert, it is completely not enough...

Fisher's old face is more wrinkled than a chrysanthemum. He would rather Porzingis, Rondo or Parsons be injured, and he doesn't want Gobert to be injured at all. It's hard to beat.

Fisher has a way to make up for the absence of the three mentioned...

For example, if Porzingis is absent, let Hernangomez play, the two styles of play are still somewhat similar.

If Parsons is injured, it will directly increase Lei Feng's shots and increase the appearance time of Sanaris...

If Rondo is injured, it will be easier to deal with, let Lei Feng go directly to the point guard!

Unexpectedly, it was the irreplaceable Gobert who was injured!
Unless the Knicks can invite any one of Jordan Jr., Zhuang Shen, Baibian, Warcraft, and Adams right now, the damage to the overall strength of the team due to Gobert's absence will be irreparable.

"Why is it Gobert?! Is God jealous of my good luck?!" Fisher thought helplessly!
……

Sure enough, the impact of Gobert's absence was fully reflected in the next game against the Indiana Pacers!

The Knicks' defense in this game was very bad. Although Lei Feng did not lose at all in the confrontation with Paul George, in the end the Knicks still failed and lost the game!

保罗乔治砍下32分7篮板3助攻的数据，而雷风则是31分5篮板8助攻，几乎同一水平的数据，但是最后却是保罗乔治成为了赢家！

This is not the worst situation the Knicks have ever encountered!
In the last away game against the Memphis Grizzlies, the inside combination of Porzingis and Hernangomez was directly beaten by the Grizzlies' black and white double bear combination...

In addition, Lei Feng's game rhythm was not too good, and he lost again in the end...

The 3 away games are more losses than wins...

In the last seven games of the Knicks, they only won two games and lost five games in the end!

……

After returning to New York, faced with such poor grades, even the Zen master Jackson, who has always been as immobile as a mountain, couldn't sit still at all!

As soon as the players got off the plane, they were gathered by Zen Master Jackson to start a meeting!
7 games and 5 losses, what an embarrassing record. If it weren't for the Knicks' previous record, I am afraid that the Knicks can start to prepare for a complete failure and compete for the No. [-] pick!

Zen master Jackson is naturally very anxious. Last season, the Knicks had a bad record. After all, when Zen master took over, the Knicks were in trouble and all kinds of rubbish contracts. Even with such a bad record, Dolan also expressed his understanding and did not Too much pressure on Zen Master Jackson!

And this season, all obstacles have been cleared away, the team has made many signings and reinforcements, and even scored 7 games and 5 losses. Zen master must not be able to sit still!
"Who can tell me what happened?!"

"You are professional players. With a lineup like our Knicks, we have a record of 7 games and 5 losses. What have you guys done?!"

The Zen master was obviously furious. The key is that he has no way to explain to Dolan for such a record!

The players in the conference room were a little confused. They didn't need Zen Master to ask questions. They also wanted to know what happened and why they had such a bad record all of a sudden!
Will they be like the Clippers team? !

The start is as fierce as a tiger, and the scum becomes a worm...

Thinking about it, it seems to be somewhat similar. At the beginning of the game, the Clippers usually encounter games like the Cavaliers and Warriors. Even if they can beat their opponents, they still have a relatively high chance of winning. Can have a chance to beat the Clippers...

The players are pondering what happened recently.

Zen Master looked at Fisher, wanting Fisher to answer his question...

Fisher really doesn't think about food these days, the pressure on his shoulders makes him breathless...

Last season, because the Knicks were going to be poor, Fisher didn't care much about the record, but this season is not good. If the record is not good, he, the head coach, will be the first to be held accountable!
"Phil, you know, we have suffered injuries recently..." Fisher said to the Zen master with a bitter face, hoping to win the sympathy of the Zen master Jackson with this expression.

"Injury?! Before the injury occurred, the record was also a three-game losing streak!" Zen Master obviously did not accept the reason for the injury.
