NBA: The Talent Burst from the Start

An hour and a half later, when Lin Lei made another 500 three-pointers, the system prompt came quietly.

This time, his three-point value has come to 150!

150 three-pointers is a very exaggerated value. It may take at least tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of trainings to achieve such a high level.

Even Kobe Bryant, who just won the finals MVP, was only 160 long shots.

As for LeBron James, who is known for his physical fitness, his long shot is only 140, which is even slightly worse than Lin Lei!

But before he had time to rejoice, James came to Lin Lei with a bottle of water and said with a smile, "It's been a long day of practice, so let's take a break."

"it is good!"

For James' invitation, Lin Lei readily accepted, and the two quickly came to the sidelines.

During the break, Lin Lei also knew that James was not here to pick up the ball for himself, but for another purpose, so he asked directly, "Are you looking for me for something?"

"kindness!"

James nodded, but did not immediately state the purpose of his trip. Instead, he glanced at the media in the stands in the distance and found that everyone's eyes were focused on this side, so the conversation changed:

"This is not the place to talk, or let's talk in another place."

"it is good!"

The two packed up their things, and soon came to the garden at the back of the hotel. The second time they left the private area for top members, the media naturally did not have permission to enter.

Watching the birds and flowers around, breathing in the fresh air, this is indeed a great place to talk about things.

After confirming that no one around heard it, James turned to look at Lin Lei and asked in a serious tone: "I heard that the Cavaliers have already approached you for negotiation, right?"

"That's right!"

Lin Lei nodded.

"Then what do you think?"

"I?"

Lin Lei doesn't know why James asks this, but the impression left on Lin Lei through these two contacts with James is not bad.

It can be seen that he is a very loyal and enthusiastic star, and he has no pretence, just like a big brother.

Everyone is a player, and maybe they will develop in the same team in the future.

Naturally, Lin Lei had nothing to hide, and revealed all the intentions of the Cavaliers president and general manager in the morning.

"After the rookie contract, I may choose to go to the team in Los Angeles!"

After hearing Lin Lei's words, James didn't say much, but fell into silence. After a minute or so, he nodded and smiled:

"Well, no matter which team you plan to go to in the future, I wish you well and look forward to meeting you in the league.

I haven't seen a talented young man like you for so many years. It's not bad to be a teammate or a rival. "

After saying these words, James didn't stay any longer, and just left the garden.

When no one was there, his expression became more serious, even a hint of anger.

James never thought that his hometown team would weave such a lie in order to keep him, saying that Lin Lei had signed a contract of intent.

Intentional contract means that Lin Lei and the Cavaliers have reached an agreement in advance, indicating that they will continue to renew the contract.

The contract will not come into effect until five years later.

Although it is not a formal contract, it also has certain binding effects and legal benefits. If Lin Lei violates the contract, he will have to pay liquidated damages.

Besides, violating the contract will be condemned by other teams, which is definitely not good for Lin Lei. Since he did not choose to sign, it shows that the Cavaliers are lying.

Fortunately, I came to ask in advance today, otherwise I would have been deceived by the Cavaliers.

If James really renews his contract with the Cavaliers this time, he will be in his 30s by the time the five-year max salary ends, and it feels a little scary to think about it.

More importantly, James has been conscientious for the team these years, but who would have thought that it would end like this in the end, could not help but feel a little chilling.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but took out his mobile phone and glanced at the recruitment text message sent by Wade again.

"Are you really going to the Heat?"

A day passed in the blink of an eye. Seeing that there was still one day before the draft, there was still no movement from James, and the Cavaliers could not wait any longer.

"A decision has to be made. Judging from the attitude of James and his team, it seems that there is no plan to renew the contract in advance. We won't be able to draw water in a basket by then!"

Cavaliers manager Altman said to owner Gilbert: "If we trade this No. 1 pick, it will definitely cause a lot of scramble for teams, and then it will also give the Cavaliers a chance in the future."

"Okay, but are there any good teams?"

So far, Gilbert has no other choice but to agree to Altman's request.

"Yes! Lakers!"

Regarding the purpose of the league team's transaction, first of all, the transaction must be beneficial to its own team.

Second, it's best to trade to the other half to avoid trouble and resistance in the playoffs.

Looking at the entire league, the Lakers are most interested in Lin Lei.

Because they are in urgent need of reinforcements to hit the three-peat, and before this, the Lakers president and general manager have contacted the Cavaliers through various channels more than once, and they want to obtain this first draft lottery. Now seems to be the best time.

When the Lakers team learned that the Cavaliers really planned to trade the No. 1 pick, they rushed to the hotel where the general manager of the Cavaliers stayed overnight.

After 6 hours of negotiations, the two sides finally reached a transaction agreement.

So, just after dawn, with less than half a day before the draft, the Lakers and Cavaliers jointly issued an announcement.

The Lakers used three first-round picks in 2012, 2014, and 2016, plus a second-round pick, plus 5 million in cash and a mid-level contract, in exchange for the Cavaliers' first-round pick, and got a high salary but no actual combat. Powerful junk contract player.

As soon as the news came out, the alliance was immediately detonated! *
