"I was shopping with my wife to buy things for my little daughter. The general manager called me and said that the Celtics had provided me with a maximum salary offer, but the team could not give me that much money. I agreed, no. I¡¯ll inform you in time.¡±
"I see."
"The deal won't be officially concluded until July. If I'm actually willing to lower the price to 10 million to renew the contract."
"You are stupid! The Bass family can give you 8 million at most, right? I know this. Even if they give you 10 million a year and sign for three or four years, you will still lose tens of millions."
"You're not angry?"
"Why am I so angry? It's just a surprise If I remember correctly, the team hasn't talked to you about contract renewal yet. When the lockout is over and the free market opens, you will choose the Celtics' 7,000 10,000, or the Lakers¡¯ 40 million or 50 million?¡±
""
"That's right, Boss Kenny, don't waste your money because of your feelings."
Kenny Anderson felt that his eyes were fogging up. He felt like he had become a traitor, and it was the boss who betrayed the junior brother but at this time, Zhang Hao was still comforting him.
After chatting about the next aspects of life, Kenny Anderson will not go to Boston so early. He will wait until the labor negotiations are settled and the NBA lockout is over. After all, Boston is not a good place for players with skin colors other than white.
Everyone knows that a shutdown is inevitable.
Kenny Anderson still had to go back to the hotel to talk to his wife about the big deal of getting $70 million and preparing to move to Boston.
Changing teams is a big deal for any player.
If the Celtics give him less, Kenny Anderson will not make up his mind so quickly.
70 million U.S. dollars is really too much. It is almost 30 million U.S. dollars higher than the contract the Lakers can offer. This is a sign-and-trade contract before the lockout. After the lockout, if there is really a very low proportion of player income Distribution, when a new contract is signed, it will definitely shrink even more. Although this is unlikely, it is possible, and it is right to get the $70 million first.
Zhang Hao also thinks so about this.
Helpless and reluctant to give up, but there is nothing we can do.
The Celtics offered 70 million U.S. dollars, with an annual average of 14 million. This is indeed unexpected. Kenny Anderson¡¯s market value is indeed at this price. There are teams willing to give such a contract, but after the lockout , the new labor agreement will be reduced to some extent.
At this time, the Celtics offered such a contract to the Lakers and Kenny Anderson. The purpose is self-evident - they want to break up their Lakers team!
Who least wants to see their Lakers continue to win the championship? Without a doubt, the Celtics.
Now the Lakers have 13 championships, which is only 3 championships away from the Celtics' 16 championships.
If the Celtics were not in a hurry and wanted to sign-and-trade during the offseason, they would probably have gotten a future first-round lottery-protected pick like the Cavaliers and Raptors will do in the future.
¡°The Celtics will definitely be the most aggressive team to stumbling upon us next, right?¡±
Zhang Hao returned to the draft scene and left for more than half an hour. It was already the second half of the first round of the draft. Except for Corey Benjamin, a well-connected person, and Al Harrington, a high school student, there were 14 other members of the Little Green Room. They all put on their hats By coincidence, Al Harrington was selected by the Pacers with the 28th overall pick in the first round.
Immediately afterwards, the Celtics sent the 29th pick in the first round from the Lakers to the Bulls, and the Bulls selected Corey Benjamin, the nephew of their vice president of public relations.
"Either we choose to co-author, or the Bulls choose?"
After watching the first round, Zhang Hao didn¡¯t want to watch the second round. He was in a bad mood and was ready to have some fun.
Wang Zhizhi still has to watch the draft and will discuss the contract with the Kings later. Henry Thomas is already in place.
¡¡
On the other side, the draft office.
Unlike the members of the Little Green Room, rookies who are not members of the Little Green Room cannot stay at the scene after being selected. Pierce was taken to the draft office by the Lakers.
The logo man looked at the excited Pierce He was not sure about the talent of this junior who claimed to be the son of the Lakers. In theory, he was not bad, but he was too talkative. It was said that his private life in college was very uncontrolled Originally, this It has nothing to do with him, but the Celtics asked them to contact Kenny Anderson in advance at this time.
It will be difficult to keep Kenny Anderson this year, and the logo man knows this very well.
There is a high probability that Kenny Anderson will be lost directly in the end. The players themselves are not so sure. As a top management team, the logo man knows that he will.The situation, the domestic sports world is like that now. Wang Zhizhi is already in good condition. He has not officially entered the A-A and escaped the constraints of the Blue Association on his career early. But if he wants to return to the national team smoothly, these sacrifices must be made. , and Wang Zhizhi himself agreed.
The NBA lockout began. On the evening of July 1st, Zhang Hao had already taken April Clark and boarded a plane with Wang Zhizhi, flying first to Yokohama, Japan, and then to Beijing.
After arriving in Beijing on the afternoon of the 2nd, Zhang Hao went home with April Clark and met his parents.
Originally, he was worried that there would be some flaws in his "first time" seeing his mother in this life, but when he saw his mother calling out "Mom", all worries were gone.
I have met Dad Zhang Weidong many times, and April Clark has also met Dad several times.
The mother-in-law has known for a long time that her son has found an American wife. Recently, she heard that she was pregnant. As soon as they met, she started urging her to get married
¡¡
"Haozi, I won't rush you about getting married. You have always been very independent, but the nationality, our son, must be Chinese. I will find a way to get the naturalization done. This matter It¡¯s not up to you.¡±
"Yes, yes, I know."
"It's good to know, but don't stay abroad for a few years and forget who you are."
¡°Okay¡ isn¡¯t it more difficult to become a citizen of our country if you are born in the United States?¡±
"It's quite difficult, and we can't let Xiaoli stay in the country alone. But with your current status, I'm trying to sort out the relationship. It might be difficult for Xiaoli, but my grandson should be fine."
Zhang Hao did not object to the previous one, but at the last sentence Zhang Hao retorted strongly: "It's my daughter!"
Zhang Weidong quit and shouted: "It's Sun Tzu!"
"It's my daughter! My daughter is my caring little cotton-padded jacket!"
"It's the grandson! Only the grandson can inherit the family business!"
"Inherit the family business? Does my old Zhang family have a throne to inherit?"
"You stinky boy, you need to be dealt with, right don't run away!"
On the other side, April Clark was guessing and chatting in her broken Chinese with her future mother-in-law in broken English. When she saw the two men quarreling, April Clark was a little surprised.
I listened to both sides and understood a little bit of the content of the quarrel. They were probably arguing about whether they were having a boy or a girl.
"What's there to argue about?"
¡¡
¡¡
Due to her pregnancy, April Clark is not suitable for running around for two months. When she returns to Zhang Hao's parents' house, she stays in Beijing to rest. If she wants to go to Athens, she has to wait until the World Championships start to go there, so she can take good care of her baby first. .
Zhang Hao stayed at home for two days and argued with his father for two days off. On July 5, he met Wang Zhizhi and went to the training ground in Tianjin arranged by the Blue Association.
"We will be training here until the 20th. The news I learned is that we are going to Crete, Greece on the 21st."
"CreteAegean Sea? Why go there so early? Doesn't the World Championships start in late August?"
¡°Of course traveling at public expense is very positive.¡±
"oh¡¡"
¡°Maybe it¡¯s because he has been abroad for a few years, but Wang Zhizhi¡¯s personality is obviously much more cheerful than when he first went to the United States. Moreover, he will complain about some things to Zhang Hao when no one is around. Of course, he will definitely not say these things when there are outsiders.
Arriving at the location agreed upon with the national team, after waiting for a long time, someone finally arrived.
What a coincidence, old acquaintance
Zhang Hao took the initiative to say hello: "Coach, long time no see."
The silver fox took a deep breathhere he comes! The day has finally arrived!
"Let's go, your teammates are waiting for you two."
Silver Fox¡¯s attitude was very bad, and even Wang Zhizhi was despised.
Zhang Hao is used to it, but Wang Zhizhi feels that the Lakers coach is not so easy to get along with
Following Silver Fox, people from the national team, and people from the Blue Association, they arrived at a training ground.
When Zhang Hao saw the candidates for the national team in the training team, he knew why they had waited so long. Obviously, the national team was ready to wait for them to come back.
The 30 or so semi-national players are now posing for photos!
Wang Zhizhi is an old friend of these prospective national players. We know most of them and greet them casually.
But everyone¡¯s eyes were focused on Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao thought about it and thought it would be better to just say hello like that!
With a smile on his face, Zhang Hao introduced himself: "Hello, seniors, I'm from Beijing, my surname is Zhang, the arrogant Zhang."
I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The surname is Zhang, the arrogant Zhang. "
