NBA: Miller moment at the start

Gold medal agents are awesome!

In just three days, the problem player who was cut received three contract offers after hype and manipulation.

Wang Ba did not consider the Bucks' unsecured contract with a base salary of $600,000 and directly rejected it.

What does an unsecured contract mean?

It means that the contract stipulates that the player's salary is completely unsecured in certain circumstances, and the team can fire the player without assuming any salary responsibility.

The player can only get a signing bonus, fine reduction, and welfare benefits stipulated separately in the contract.

He and the Rockets still have a partially guaranteed contract, a completely unsecured contract?

I can't do it for love.

The other two offers are very interesting.

The Lakers' fully guaranteed contract of $600,000, and the Clippers in the same city offer a short contract of $118,000 for 10 days.

The two contracts have their own characteristics.

The Lakers' contract is stable, and the Clippers' contract is risky. ”

Whether he can play and perform well on a 10-day short contract is still unknown.

Of course,

Risk and return are proportional. If he performs well, he can get a bigger contract.

Wang Ba proposed his own idea,

"Sign a 10-day short contract with the Lakers!"

The Lakers have a high exposure rate and lack outside players. In the past, he had plenty of playing time. When the contract ends, he will sign a long-term contract.

From his personal perspective, he can use a short contract to show his ability and seek a bigger contract.

From the Lakers' perspective, it is equivalent to a 10-day trial period. If Wang Ba does not perform well, he will only lose the money of the 10-day short contract, which reduces the risk.

Wang Ba believes that the Lakers have no reason to refuse.

"It's a good idea, but the Lakers are very delicate and there may be great turmoil. Are you sure you want to go to the Lakers?"

"Sure." ”

Heroes emerge in troubled times, and the more chaotic the times, the more opportunities there are. As long as you perform well, there are many teams that want you.

Besides,

The Lakers have James, and it is harder to be the boss than to climb to the sky. He went there to get some popularity. James has many black fans and many James fans, and his popularity is absolutely top-notch.

Bill Duffy respected his opinion and quickly reached an agreement with the Lakers.

Wang Ba did not drag his feet at all. He packed his luggage and went straight to the airport to leave Houston.

NBA is a business league, and separation is the norm. Fighting hard on the court in the last second, being notified of being traded in the next second, just like Wang Ba,

The boss's loyalty and feelings will only be given to valuable players. , such as Kobe, such as Nowitzki,

Probably only Rockets fans will remember his name, the boy who once performed a miracle of 9 points in 18.7 seconds at the Toyota Center.

It took 5 hours to arrive in Los Angeles,

No fans to meet at the airport, no staff, no press conference, and even when signing, only Pelinka's assistant came out.

10-day short contract, 120,000 US dollars, additional bonus clauses,

Each 3-pointer made will get an additional bonus of 1,800 US dollars, and the signing fee will be an additional 10,000 US dollars, which can be said to be very cheap.

After signing, Pelinka's assistant stretched out his hand:

"Welcome to Los Angeles."

"Thank you."

"What number jersey do you plan to wear?"

The Lakers have a glorious history, and there are too many retired jerseys, so you need to ask in advance,

"58."

"58?"

"In China, 58 represents getting rich. ”

The predecessor chose 58 because no one in the NBA wore the No. 58 jersey, and he wanted to be unique.

Continue to choose 58 because no one in the NBA wears 58, and Wang Ba wants to be the one and only.

The news of Wang Ba signing with the Lakers was announced through the Lakers official account. Although it was only a short-term contract of 10 days, the fans were still very enthusiastic.

“I have watched the video of 18.7 seconds and 9 points countless times, it’s really strong!”

“Congratulations to the Lakers for getting Wang Ba!”

“Rockets fans have gathered on the rooftop.”

“I believe Wang Ba can have a place in the Lakers. ”

Wang Ba’s moment is still hot, and his signing with the Lakers has received a lot of attention. Foreign fans have sent their blessings, but domestic fans have cursed him fiercely.

Zhang Peng is a die-hard fan of the Lakers. His room is full of Kobe posters, and even his online name is, Forever Mamba.

Fans who like Kobe like his attitude towards basketball, persistence, and diligence. They are also paranoid, so they don’t like Wang Ba.

Zhang Peng’s heart inexplicably surged with anger when his favorite team signed a player he hated, as if he was insulted:

"Pelinka’s head was kicked by a donkey! It’s the donkey that Barkley kissed his ass!"

"Sign a piece of trash!"

"Post this as a proof, when the 10-day short contract ends, no team will sign him again!"

The former genius boy Wang Ba still has die-hard fans:

"What do you say if a team signs Wang Ba? ?"

Zhang Peng was furious:

"I will stand upside down and eat shit!Still dry!"

"Screenshot taken!"

Smoking, eating skewers and stuffed pancakes, perming hair, drinking and going to nightclubs, can such a person achieve good results?

Nonsense!

...

Los Angeles is very quiet at 6 o'clock in the morning, with bright lights and the atmosphere of fireworks.

The Lakers training center, UCLA Health Training Center, is 7 kilometers away from the hotel where Wang Ba is temporarily staying. Running there is just a warm-up.

Being woken up early in the morning, the security uncle at the training hall was in a bad mood. When Wang Ba took out the fried chicken, hamburger and cola he bought on the way, the fat house happy 3-piece set,

The expression on the security uncle's face immediately turned from cloudy to cloudy, then to sunny, and finally sunny, and he enthusiastically opened the door of the training hall,

"Hey Wang... You are the earliest player I have ever seen to come to training, Kobe is not as early as you."

"Doesn't Kobe come to training at 4 o'clock?"

"Hi! That's all media hype. Kobe usually arrives at the training hall at 8:30,"

The security uncle is called Sadik. He has worked for the Lakers for 15 years, from Toyota Stadium to UCLA Health Training Center, from Kobe to James.

He witnessed Kobe's growth from the immaturity of No. 8 to the maturity of No. 24. He is a veteran of two dynasties.

Sadiq is very talkative and enthusiastic. I don't know if it's because of his personality or because of the delicious food Wang Ba gave him.

"The lighting equipment has been turned on, the shooting machine has been debugged and can be used directly, and the air conditioner will not be turned on until 8:30."

"If you need it, just shout, I can hear it."

"Come on, I'm rooting for you. "

Sadiq went to enjoy the three-piece set of fat house happiness alone. Wang Ba looked up at the 16 golden trophies in the training hall.

16 championships represent the glory of the Lakers. He also hopes to have a championship trophy of his own!

On the other side of Los Angeles,

Old man James is still sleeping and can't extricate himself.

He is very tired.

The team's record is not bad, but the problems exposed are very serious.

The four youngsters have ability, no space, and are immature. They need time to grow. At the age of 35, he lacks time the most.

He has no time for the four youngsters to grow. , and there are no conditions.

The ball-holding core style of play is destined to not give young people more ball rights. He needs 3D, space-type players, and plug-and-play players.

The current Lakers cannot satisfy all of them, so that this old man needs to work hard to maintain his ranking.

At noon, James finally woke up. The nutritionist prepared pre-training food for him, and the bodyguard and driver drove a luxury car to take him to the training hall.

I found that the lights in the training hall were bright, and I could hear the sound of iron forging. I took out a portion of the food I brought and gave it to Sadik.

"Who is training?"

"Hey LeBron, it's the new kid. He started training at 6:30. I secretly observed that this kid is not bad. He also brought me hamburgers and fried chicken."

"The newly signed Oriental? "

"Yes, that's him, the bastard..."

Wang Ba: Thank you! You are the bastard!

Walking into the training hall with curiosity, Wang Ba, who was concentrating on shooting, didn't notice anyone coming, and James didn't interrupt him, but his eyes were getting brighter and brighter.

Finally, he couldn't help but interrupt Wang Ba:

"Hey Wang... Are you interested in playing a game?"

When you are curious about someone, you are probably one step away from falling in love with him.

Old James wants to test Wang Ba's ability.

He has a hunch that Wang Ba will be his biggest help to the Lakers.
