NBA: Miller moment at the start

Jokic was unexpectedly expelled, losing the core tactical starting point. The Nuggets made consecutive mistakes, and the Lakers seized the opportunity to counterattack and easily scored.

At the end of the second quarter, the Lakers led by 21 points.

At the beginning of the second half,

The Nuggets tried to counterattack, but James made breakthroughs and shots to stabilize the situation. The score difference was pulled to 30 points, and the Nuggets surrendered, and the game entered garbage time.

Beep! !

With the buzzer sounding at the end of the game, the battle between the Lakers and the Nuggets came to an end.

128:101,

The Lakers won the game with a huge advantage of 27 points.

"Amazing game."

"The Lakers beat the top Western Conference team, the Nuggets, by a large margin!"

"The Nuggets are stronger, and the Lakers' Wang Ba is the X factor."

"Hot knowledge in this game! Wang Ba played for 23 minutes, made 5 of 6 three-pointers, 3 of 4 two-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 23 points, 6 assists, 1 rebound, 1 block, and 1 steal, with a plus-minus value of +24, the highest in the game."

"Isn't the efficiency too high? 23 points in 10 shots... My God!"

"The only thing that can limit Wang Ba's points is playing time."

The Lakers' first show,

Wang Ba conquered the fans with efficiency and wisdom, and he even set a record, a player with a 10-day short contract got 20+5 data,

The staff told him that ESPN will interview him.

In the waiting area for reporters,

ESPN reporter Ilia was looking bitter,

"Do you really want to interview Wang? LeBron's data is better than his, and his traffic is bigger. Interviewing LeBron is a good idea."

"He scored 23 points in his debut, setting a scoring record for players with a 10-day short contract. He is also Chinese, so there are topics and a market. Why not?"

"I..."

Ilia didn't know what to say. Could it be that she had an unclear relationship with Wang Ba?

She couldn't say it in the end, and she came to Wang Ba with a camera.

"Hello, Wang."

Wang Ba was stunned for a moment. Was he going to die?

His brain was still down. Ilia asked questions, and he answered mechanically. The interview was over.

He felt frustrated that he had surrendered without even taking off his pants.

He opened his mouth to say something else, but Ilia left with the cameraman, leaving him with a graceful back. The whiteness instantly appeared in his mind.

"Don't look at anything indecent or think about anything indecent."

"I am the king who can remain calm even when a woman's lap is on his chest."

In the player's tunnel, James hugged him with a wretched look:

"Are you interested in Ilia?"

"Ilia is the Lakers' home reporter. She has a good personality and is a combination of beauty and wisdom."

"It is said that her grandmother has Chinese ancestry and is from the same hometown as you."

James was chattering, more enthusiastic than the madam of Yihongyuan. I never realized that James liked to pimp... No, he likes to be a matchmaker!

...

New York

Bill Duffy had just finished a call with the general manager of the Milwaukee Bucks when Pelinka called.

"The Lakers hope to continue to cooperate with Wang Ba. Give me a price."

A wealthy family is a wealthy family, simple and rough. Bill Duffy likes it very much. Unlike the Bucks, who are stingy and treat him as if he is selling cabbage and bargaining!

"According to Wang Ba's performance in this game, it's no problem to sign a full mid-level exception."

Pelinka was silent.

The mid-level exception is calculated outside the salary cap, and the specific amount is the average salary of the league last season.

This season's mid-level exception is $8.6 million for non-luxury tax teams and $5.3 million for luxury tax teams. The Lakers meet the former.

Pelinka's plan is to use the full mid-level exception to sign an experienced veteran with championship experience. If he gives it to Wang Ba, the recruitment plan will be broken.

"The Lakers can offer a 5 million mid-level contract, which is my greatest sincerity."

"I will notify Wang Ba and give you an accurate answer."

Asking for a sky-high price, but paying it back.

Wang Ba has too few games, and it is unknown whether he can maintain high efficiency for a long time. Giving 5 million has exceeded expectations, and Bill Duffy is very satisfied.

…

At the post-match press conference,

James and Wang Ba accepted interviews on behalf of the Lakers. The reporters first congratulated the Lakers on their first victory, and then asked Walton Jr.:

"The Lakers have no room in the starting lineup. Have you considered using Wang Ba as the starter to increase his playing time?"

"Has the team considered giving Wang Ba a bigger contract?"

Most of the questions were from domestic media, and they were naturally concerned about Wang Ba's news. Walton Jr. thought for a moment and replied:

"The team's goal is the playoffs. We will try different lineups. I think Wang Ba will have a chance to start, and his playing time will also be adjusted according to the player's condition."

"As for the renewal issue, it is something that the management should consider."

His answer was flawless. The reporter asked two questions and put the wordsThe reporter pointed at Wang Ba:

"Are you satisfied with your performance on the field?"

Wang Ba:

"Very satisfied."

Reporter:

"According to the news, the Lakers are willing to offer a minimum salary contract. Why do you want to choose a 10-day short contract?"

Wang Ba:

"Because I think I can get a bigger contract,"

Reporter:

"What do you expect for the next contract?"

In fact, Wang Ba is thinking about the middle class.

He is a rookie and has only played 2 games. If a team is willing to give the middle class, it is risky. It is not realistic to give more.

However,

I wonder if showing off can trigger the new function of the system?

He raised his head and chest and said something shocking:

"I hope to get a contract worth more than 10 million, or even a maximum salary."

The scene was silent instantly,

Walton opened his mouth so wide that he could fit an egg in it,

James was stunned, as if he had seen a ghost,

The reporters had different expressions, some were dumbfounded, some were proud, and some were disdainful,

What is a player with a short contract of 10 days thinking about wanting to renew a contract with a maximum salary?

It is said that Chinese people are modest, but Wang Ba is clearly arrogant! However, there are topics they like very much:

"A contract worth 10 million? Are you sure you mean 10 million instead of 1 million?"

"In your rookie season, you want a maximum salary after playing two games?"

"Will you negotiate with the Lakers with an annual salary of 10 million?"

When the reporter asked, Wang Ba was a little confused. I am so pretentious, the system should also show some reaction, right? Why hasn't there been any prompt yet?

"System?"

"Am I not pretending to be awesome enough?"

A cold mechanical voice sounded:

[Friendly reminder: pretending to be awesome is not bragging. Moreover, if you want to gain reputation, please take the right path]

Fuck!

Wang Ba has no desire to live,

"Regarding the contract, you can talk to my agent Bill Duffy in detail,"

Seeing that he didn't want to talk, the reporters changed the topic:

"During the game, you communicated a lot with Mr. Yue, and he seemed very angry. What did you say to him?"

"I said Sprite tastes better, and Mr. Yue thinks Coke tastes better, that's it!"
