Almighty Coach

The one-month training is finally over. For the men's basketball team, this month's training is really a torment.

"Finally, I don't have to eat those nutritious meals. I think about those things now, and I feel sick."

"I don't know how I got here this month. I got up earlier than the chicken, slept later than the chicken, and ate worse than the chicken ..."

"Actually, the food is not bad. There are fish, meat, eggs, and vegetables. The cooks in the United States are not very good. When they are grilled, they are cooked. No matter how good they are, they are not good. If you change to a Chinese cook, maybe I can eat it. "

In the front row of the bus, the men's basketball coach Sun Chengcheng listened to the complaints of the players and sighed helplessly.

"I have complained about this bitterness. I have to know that many nba stars have eaten according to this recipe for more than ten years. Our players have really bad self-discipline." Road.

Sun Chenggong is quite satisfied with the effect of this training in the United States. Although it only takes a month, most players have gained weight, and not the fat but the muscles.

Domestic basketball players are generally thin, and many players look like a thin bamboo pole, so muscle gain has always been a very important training goal for domestic basketball players. However, in the domestic training environment, the effect of player muscle training is not very good. Of course, some players are not self-discipline themselves, and they are not very careful in their diet. Since skewers and deep-fried foods continue to grow every day, how can they gain muscle? .

However, in the United States, the overall training environment is completely different, and Li Dai's fitness training level is also much higher than that of domestic fitness trainers. Moreover, although the Clippers ’training base is facing the sea, they ca n’t get in front of the village or the store. If they do n’t have a car, they ca n’t go anywhere. Even if the men ’s basketball team is not self-disciplined, the environment will force them to discipline themselves.

"I'm going to Europe to play warm-up match soon. What's the training result of this month? I believe it will be shown soon." Sun Chenggong looked at his watch and suddenly thought of another thing.

"Yesterday, Coach Li had flown to New York to participate in this year's NBA Draft. The Clippers have a 20th overall first-round pick. I don't know who will pick it." Sun Chenggong said to himself .

...

In New York, the NBA draft scene, almost all the coaches and team managers of the 30 NBA teams are present.

A Clipper staff member hurried to Li Dai and whispered, "Coach, the Kings want our second-round draft pick. They are willing to pay some cash, or next year's second-round draft." right."

"It seems that the Kings have a favorite candidate." Li Dai thought about it, and then said "then exchange the draft picks with them, we want them to be the second round of draft picks next year."

The second round of draft picks, especially after the 40th overall pick, has always been regarded as irrelevant. NBA teams often use second-round picks to express friendship.

Just like today's Kings, they have to take a second-round draft pick from the Clippers, which is equal to the Clippers' favor. From the perspective of the Clippers, it is worthwhile to exchange an insignificant second-round sign for a favor.

No. 1 pick, No. 2 spotlight and Tan Huan are all released, just like the previous media predictions. In fact, by draft day, the top three picks are basically determined, and the team will not risk choosing someone else.

Starting from the sixth pick, the team's selection will deviate from the media's predictions, and gradually players outside the small green house will be selected, which means that there will be players in the small green house falling out of the lottery area.

There is a so-called "small green house" in the nba draft. This is not really a green house, but a privilege. Players selected in the "small green house" can be accompanied by relatives and friends to watch the draft on the spot. Under normal circumstances, nba will invite at least 14 rookies to enter the small green house, and these rookies will basically become rookies in the lotto area.

After the top 19 rookies were selected, it was finally the Clippers' choice.

"I heard that the Clippers' coach is very fond of Keltz Kumar at the University of Utah. I believe the Clippers will definitely choose Kumar!"

"That's not necessarily, Kumar's draft prediction is at the end of the first round, early in the second round, it is a bit wasteful to choose him with a 20th pick."

"I think the Clippers are making the noise and saying that they are optimistic about Kumar, nothing more than to lower Ronnie's renewal price. After all, Ronnie and Kumar are both forward players."

"I heard that Ronnie asked the Clippers for a five-year salary of $ 1.5 billion. He really dared the lion to speak up and think of himself as an All-Star."

"Yeah, if I were the Clippers, I would not agree to this price. And this asking price will scare away the other teams to invite him to contract. The five years with the Clippers will be 1.5 billion. Can you tap him with a four-year salary of 1.2 billion? It would be better to dig an All-Star player with a direct salary. "

There was a lot of discussion, but Kylez Kumar at the scene was a nervous expression, and he would look in the direction of the Clippers' compartment from time to time. He was worried that the Clippers would really choose him.

Finally, nba president Adams came on stage and announced the result.

"The 20th overall pick comes from the Los Angeles Clippers. Their choice is Kelz Kumar!"

The applause sounded, Kumar stood up excitedly, took the Clippers hat from the staff and put it on his head, walked excitedly to the stage and shook hands with Adams.

The general managers and coaches of each team discussed again.

"The Clippers really chose Kumar. Is this really a fake?"

"It's a waste to choose Kumar with the 20th overall pick. After all, among the rookies who haven't been selected yet, there are many excellent strikers, and there are several better than Kumar."

"The Clippers are determined to drive down Ronnie's renewal price. I don't know if Ronnie will get a five-year top salary of 1.5 billion after receiving this news. This time it is good. I watched the play. "

...

Hawaii.

Ronnie is now on vacation in Hawaii. Due to the time difference, when the NBA draft began, Hawaii was still in the afternoon, Ronnie was enjoying the sun, sea breeze and delicious fruits.

The bikini beauty walking back and forth on the beach made Ronnie feel a little relaxed and happy. He even started to consider whether to go to a hot girl for a drink.

The ringtone of the phone rang, it was the call from the agent.

"The result of the draft came out, the Clippers really chose that Kelzkumar." The agent said directly.

"What? They chose a striker!" Ronnie's expression suddenly seemed uncomfortable, and the sense of crisis in his heart gradually began to germinate.

The agent continued: "Obviously, the Clippers are not just cutting prices, they are also really looking for someone to replace you."

"A rookie player, whether it can stay in NBA is a problem, and why replace me!" Ronnie said indignantly.

"Ronnie, I think we should also lower the requirements appropriately. In five years, 1.5 billion, the Clippers are unlikely to give you so much." The agent persuaded.

"It was you who asked me to bite me for five years with a salary of 1.5 billion. How can I cut the price now!" Ronnie said in a condemned tone.

"I was also testing the Clippers 'bottom line. I didn't expect the Clippers' management to be so decisive and immediately look for someone who can replace you." The agent paused and said, "But rest assured, I will If you continue to fight for your best interests, what do you think of the $ 12.5 billion in five years? "

"52.5 billion in five years, although less than before, but on average, there are 25 million salaries a year. Well, if the Clippers are willing to accept this condition, I can renew their contract." Ronnie replied.

...

"Ronnie's agent has moved, and they have set a five-year condition of 12.5 billion." Xiao Yunan said

Li Dai dismissed his lips disdainfully. Now that the Clippers have the potential rookie Kelz Kumar, Ronnie has become less important, not to mention the five years of 12.5 billion, which was the previous Clippers to Ronnie. In five years, 90 million, Li Dai feels expensive.

"Don't refuse, let's say that our management wants to discuss. Then poke Ronnie's condition into the media." Li Dai commanded.

"Why do you want to do this?" Xiao Yunan asked.

"Five years is 12.5 billion, an average of 25 million a year. I want to let other teams know this news, that is, to tell everyone who is interested in Ronnie that they need at least four years of $ 100 million in contract to rob Ronnie. Do you think any of the other 29 teams will make such an offer? "

Li Dai smiled and then said, "I don't think other teams can make such a high offer, Ronnie's request is so high, other teams know that they can't meet Ronnie's request, so they won't easily give him a copy. Invite the contract so that we can delay the renewal of Ronnie for a longer period of time. "

"As time goes on, each team will gradually sign or renew players, their salary space will be less and less, when other teams do not have enough salary space to sign Ronnie, we will be Ronnie ’s only option is to make it more convenient to drive down prices, so renewing Ronnie ’s matter for a long time will be more beneficial to us. "

After listening to Li Dai's words, Xiao Yunan stared at Li Dai with a strange eye.

"I found that you seem to have gone bad, and you can even think of this kind of loss! You didn't have so many flowery intestines before!" Xiao Yunan said with a smile.

"It's not called bad, it's called mature!" Li Dai shrugged a little helplessly, but smiled smugly on her face. "Besides, I will give you this old lady of Dingtian Group as her husband No brains, just stupid stupid, maybe you have been taken off already! "

...

Detroit Pistons.

In the conference room, several key members of the coaching staff and management have arrived, discussing the direction of the Pistons next season.

"Next season, we want to strengthen the team's strike line, I hope to be able to recruit in this regard." The head coach said.

"Are there any suitable candidates for the coaching staff?" The Pistons general manager asked.

"The Clippers 'Ronnie is a good candidate. After he became the Clippers' main force last season, the data has greatly improved. Currently he is a restricted free agent. I think we can give him a quotation, see See if the Clippers will match. "Pistons coach replied.

"So what do you think we should quote Ronnie?" The general manager of the Pistons asked.

"80 million for four years, it should be almost the same. If it is not possible, plus an award of 5 million, the average annual salary will exceed 20 million, which should be able to impress Ronnie. And the Clippers just picked one at the draft. Frontline rookies, they may cultivate this rookie, I think they may give up Ronnie and choose not to match our offer. "Pistons coach said.

"Hehehe, do you think Ronnie can be moved by 80 million in four years?" The general manager of the Pistons smiled ridiculously.

"Aren't 80 million four years enough? Ronnie wants to get the top salary?" The Pistons coach asked.

"Who said no! You probably didn't pay attention to yesterday's news. Ronnie asked the Clippers for five years for $ 12.5 billion!" The Pistons general manager said.

"Oh my god, the asking price is so high, is Ronnie crazy? How did the Clippers reply? They certainly wouldn't agree." The Pistons coach said immediately.

"The Clippers responded that it was under consideration." The Pistons general manager spread his hands, and then said, "Five years is 12.5 billion, an average of 25 million a year. The contract of 100 million years, so that he may be able to accept. 80 million in 4 years, he will definitely refuse. Even if Ronnie really accepted the four-year 80 million offer, I guess the Clippers will also choose to match After all, it is possible to consider 12.5 billion in five years. Will 80 million be hesitant in those four years? "

Hearing this news ~ www.readwn.com ~ The Pistons coach frowned immediately.

The general manager of the Pistons continued: "So, I suggest that the coaching staff should give up Ronnie. Let's talk about the next signing goal. It will definitely be more realistic than Ronnie!"

...

Ronnie played 19 + 5 + 3 in the Clippers last season, which is good for a small forward. Plus he is a restricted free agent this year, naturally there will be a team interested in him.

However, the team is very cautious about the offer of restricted free agents. When they learned that Ronnie had asked the Clippers for a five-year renewal request of 12.5 billion, they all retreated.

Ronnie ’s offer means that it will take at least four years and 100 million for other teams to accept Ronnie ’s offer, while also not excluding the possibility of the Clippers matching the offer. Once the Clippers choose to match the offer, according to the nba rules, the Clippers will have Ronnie's signing rights, then the offer team will be a bamboo basket.

The bad team must make the record as bad as possible, and then gather a few top picks to find out. They ca n’t commit to recruit Ronnie to improve their record, and they wo n’t give him a score of four years. contract.

Although the reinforced team wants Ronnie, but thinks Ronnie is too expensive, it is better to directly introduce a mature star player.

The teams that compete for the championship do not look down on Ronnie. In addition to their interest in superstars, they also need some cost-effective role players who can **** the superstars of the team. People like Ronnie who have a high asking price and do not reach the level of All-Stars, but are stronger than role players. It is not enough for him to be a core player, and it is wasteful to be a role player. A player like Ronnie.

All of a sudden, Ronnie became an unsuspecting presence in the free agent market.
