Chapter 752: A high-value team

At the end of August, Li Liang was going to return to the United States, and staying at home would be considered abandoned.
Li Liang doesn't have any friends in China. Although many directors and producers contacted him, hoping that he would make movies, advertise, and so on. There are also many parties and programs that invite him to participate, regardless of style. Players of his magnitude, participating in any movie or show, bring huge traffic.
If he participates, nothing else, the economic benefits are certainly not low.
Unfortunately, Li Liang is not interested in money. To be honest, the endorsement fee is not worth mentioning in front of the real industry and stock capital.
For him, it's just a little pocket money. To show up to show the drama for the sake of the pocket money? Not necessary.
When I was playing, I was very tired of the reality show on the court every day. It is still king to improve myself during the offseason.
Of course, Li Liang is not without social activities. He went to Shanghai in July to attend the opening ceremony of a youth basketball training camp hosted by Yao Ming.
The face of boss Yao is still to be given. His arrival makes the camp opening ceremony extremely hot. In terms of domestic influence, Li Liang has obviously surpassed Yao Ming. Now people want Li Liang to join the national team, and the call for the 2016 Olympic Games is getting higher and higher. In the training camp, Yao Ming also mentioned with Li Liang whether they are going to join the Chinese men's basketball national team next year.
Li Liang's answer was the same as a year ago, "When did you become the chairman of the basketball association and when did I come to play for the national team."
This is a gentleman's agreement between the two, and with Li Liang's commitment, Yao Ming will become the chairman, which is probably easier and faster.
When Li Liang was preparing to return to the United States, within two months, the trading market had already made a lot of moves.
On the 25th of August, in the West, the Spurs, through repeated lobbying and attraction of their lineups, took Aldridge, the big fish in the free market this year.
In this way, the Spurs have gone one German and another German. They also have two young players with full potential, Wiggins and Booker, and the old GDP has also been reduced in salary. It can be said that the Spurs operate through one pass and continue to maintain Strong team status, but also has a future.
After getting Leonard's Lakers, after repeatedly contacting Li Liang and unsuccessful, he has already been on the road of Plan B, and slowly forgot Li Liang's things.
On August 26, the day after the Spurs successfully signed Aldridge, the Lakers traded from the Timberwolves with Nick Young, Carlos Boozer, Larry Nance, and the next two second-round draft picks. Here comes Kevin Love.
Like Leonard, Love also gave up the opportunity to sign a five-year top salary in the home team, using a sign-and-change method, a four-year 80 million contract extension, and then was traded to the Lakers.
The Lakers' two consecutive Sao operations are equivalent to forcibly clearing the space without salary space, and then forcefully eating the two top-paid players, which caused the league to protest for a while.
In the new labor-management agreement in 2012, in order to prevent big teams from having to sign first and then replace the stars that rob small teams, so the rule of signing first and then changing can also sign the bird's top salary For a time, letting you sign and then change this transaction method, almost disappeared in the league.
Now, if the teams want to rob the stars, they must clear the space and wait for the star contract to expire and vote, and the star that they trust will suffer economic losses; or during the contract period, they will bleed themselves and use high-quality assets to fight. For high-quality assets.
As in the past, when the star contract expires, the home team is worried that the star will leave nothing behind. He simply signs and then exchanges some assets, which is better than nothing. With the implementation of the new agreement, it has become much less.
As a result, the Lakers got two at a time. Both Love and Leonard lost tens of millions of dollars in vain. In order to play for the Lakers, these other teams must of course protest. Are there any PY transactions in private?
The explanation given by the Lakers is also very simple, "Most players in the league think of the Lakers to play. They have been fans of the Lakers since childhood."
What you want is really unsolvable.
The reason why Love is willing to go to the Lakers is also very simple, want to win a championship.
The Timberwolves started the reconstruction after having the champion Downs, they no longer need Carrefour.
And Carrefour thinks of a city that can win the championship and have a higher exposure. The Los Angeles Lakers are really the best choice.
So he would rather give up more than 20 million US dollars in income, but also to the Lakers to play.
After this transaction was completed, people exclaimed that it was "robbery". It was the same as the transaction in 2008 and 12 years. Are the Grizzlies, Timberwolves and Magic teams the Lakers trumpet?
The remarks of the Lakers lying on the crown were once again clamoring.
Then, on August 27, Li Liang flew back to the United States by plane. The place of landing was in Los Angeles.
...
The plane arrived at Los Angeles International Airport. When getting off the plane, a stewardess squeezed in front of Li Liang and quietly took out a postcard, asking Li Liang to sign a name. She said that she was a fan of Li Liang.
This is a very beautiful Chinese girl. The face value of Chinese flight attendants on international flights is very high, unlike American Airlines who are all aunts and aunts.
Li Liang nodded and signed the postcard on which Li Liang's playing photos were printed. The postcard was still printed with Li Liang's photos of the Lakers.
After signing the name and returning the pen and postcard to the stewardess, he was stuffed with a note in his hand. The stewardess blinked at him and left to do his own thing.
Li Liang opened the note and looked at it. It was a series of phone numbers. It seemed that she was not just a fan.
Li Liang did not have much interest in such in-depth communication with fans. He still prefers to have in-depth communication with the system.
After getting off the plane, Li Liang crumpled the paper and threw it into the trash.
Then, there were countless reporters, long guns and short guns aimed at him. The Los Angeles media had long heard from the airline that Bruce Lee would arrive by flight today, so they all waited early.
Li Liang is not the same as many NBA superstars, like Kobe and James when they go out, they will bring a lot of votes.
Family, friends, bodyguards, agents, assistants, etc.... Li Liang is different. He doesn’t like too many people who are left and right behind his butt, feeling like an emperor. He likes to carry a bag alone, although occasionally There will be some security problems, but the problem is not big, after all, he is loved all over America.
The reporters clicked and took photos, then stared at Li Liang and asked which team they were going to in the new season.
Even if it is known that Li Liang is unlikely to speak at the airport, the reporters still have to ask, in case he said that he was leaking?
Li Liang really talked about it and replied: "I will not come to the Los Angeles team."
Yes, ask, just ask Los Angeles.
Because it was summer, Li Liang was wearing a simple white T-shirt. A reporter soon discovered that Li Liang looked stronger than in the past, and he was much stronger. His arms were thicker and he had short sleeves. Was propped up.
It was easy to deal with these reporters, and Li Liang met Wei Dazhi in the parking lot.
Wei Dazhi saw Li Liang's first reaction, "Which team are you going to?" The second reaction ~EbookFREE.me~ Why are you fat? "
"Can you be more professional? Lao Tzu is getting stronger, why does TM say I'm fat?" Li Liang said, showing his biceps to Wei Dazhi.
Wei Dazhi squeezed and found that it was indeed strong, feeling a little weird, "You went home on vacation, not for special training? What did your grandma feed you?"
Li Liang was a little embarrassed to ask this question, because he did eat too much in his hometown. In order to cope with the consumption in the task, he had more food than the whole family.
"You don't care what I eat, drive fast, I will stay in Los Angeles for a day, and tomorrow I will go to Indiana."
Li Liang came to Los Angeles. One was to join Zhu Shu and the other was to have a meal with old friends.
"Then, did you make a good decision?"
"Nonsense, do it."
"Can you tell me something?"
"A high-value team."
