I’m a Big Boss in the NBA

Chapter 449: Nothing is good except money.

After the Olympics ended, Xu Xuan was empty.

But he was not in a hurry to return to the United States. Kobe, this guy, went back, saying that he had to prepare for training in advance. This is really taking Xu Xuan as a personal pass, making him more concerned than Xu Xuan himself.

Xu Xuan took Lin Yun to travel after sending his parents on the plane back home.

To be honest, the two have not been out to play together for a long time.

Both of them have things. Xu Xuan usually has to compete and train, and Lin Yun is also in Dali, which is getting bigger and bigger business.

Even during the Olympic Games, Lin Yun was no more relaxed than Xu Xuan every day, and he was busier than Xu Xuan every day for various negotiations and cooperation.

At this time, I took advantage of this little time to take a break and went out to relax.

After finishing the fight on August 22, Xu Xuan and Lin Yun set off. First they went to Berlin, Germany, then Paris, France and Rome, Italy...

Until September 5, the two returned to the United States.

At the same time, Xu Xuan's second round of training will also begin.

Yi Jianlian did not ask Xu Xuan to wait. When he was still in Paris, his agent had already announced his latest news. He will join the Los Angeles Lakers in the new season. The two sides signed a 2+1 agreement. Contract, full guarantee for the first two years, team option for the third year.

Xu Xuan looked at the amount. It was not bad, 8 million a year, the same as in the previous life.

However, in the previous life contract, only 250,000 in 800 is guaranteed, not like this one, 8 million is fully guaranteed.

Xu Xuan did not spend much effort on this contract, mainly because Yi Jianlian played well in the Olympics, averaging 32.8 minutes per game, contributing 20.4 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.0 blocks, and shooting 43.9%. %, the free throw percentage was 74.2%.

This statistic is better than some American team players.

No longer paying attention to domestic affairs, Xu Xuan set his sights on personal training.

Kobe's movements are still very fast. I won't mention it for the time being, but he also found a training team for Xu Xuan.

The chief trainer of the team is Mike Prokpio, a fat bald man. Xu Xuan met the fat bald man in Los Angeles.

"Hello, Xu Xuan, it's nice to meet you." Mike Prokpio is tall and slightly fat, with a white T-shirt on his upper body and sports trousers on his lower body.

Xu Xuan greeted him with a smile: "Hello, Mike, it's also nice to meet you."

"Then let's talk, what do you mainly want to practice?"

"It's mainly defense, but Kobe thinks my defense is too rigid, and I want to combine other defensive methods."

To change a personal trainer, Xu Xuan certainly needs to know some information about the trainer.

This Mike Prokpio, seemingly unremarkable, is a personal trainer who once helped Kobe's training. It's just that Prokpio had some sporadic work directly before. This time he was recruited by Kobe to do Xu. Xuan's long-term business.

"Is it defensively? No problem, you know. I used to be a personal trainer for Kobe. Although I didn't do it for long, I still know a lot about defense."

Xu Xuan nodded. Prokpio's resume must be okay, so there is nothing wrong with what he said.

In terms of salary, Kobe said that Prokpio's asking price is not high, and the two sides negotiated for a short time before they set the final salary.

500,000 annual salary.

This price is a lot, and it’s no wonder that only superstars can afford a personal trainer. If Xu Xuan doesn’t have this plug-in, his annual salary will be so much. This is still a salary without tax deduction. Sorry.

But considering that he has to be responsible for Xu Xuan for a year, all kinds of training must be handled, and he is not as high as expected.

Xu Xuan began pre-season training, and the Lakers' preparations for the new season are also proceeding in an orderly manner.

With Xu Xuan's participation this time, none of the Lakers' brain-dead trades happened.

The signing of Yi Jianlian also made up for the gap that hadn't been signed before Ruel Deng.

While training, the Lakers' tentative roster for the new season was also handed over to Xu Xuan.

Point guards: Xu Xuan, Louis Williams, Jordan Clarkson, veteran Marcelo Hertas

Shooting guards: Nick Young, D'Angelo Russell

Small forwards: Ingram, Ci Shiping

Power forwards: Julius Randall, Larry Nance, Thomas Robinson

Centers: Zubac, Mozgov, Yi Jianlian, Tariq Black

A big list of 15 people.

Here, Xu Xuan and Yi Jianlian are both newcomers, Ingram and Zubac are rookies, Mozgov is signed by the free market, and most of the others are old old people who have renewed their contracts.

This list is somewhat unreasonable in Xu Xuan's eyes, especially in the position of small forward and point guard, there are too many and too few.

Ingram has talent. In the new season, Xu Xuan also prefers him to start, but he can't do it alone.

As for Ci Shiping, this guy can't move anymore, and it's impossible to expect him to be the first substitute for the small forward.

Kobe led Ci Shiping to meet Xu Xuan once before, and this guy was not unfaithful to Xu Xuan, especially after the two singled out once, Xu Xuan's vigorous physical quality hit Ci Shiping and rolled his eyes.

Convinced directly.

In Xu Xuan’s vision, three point guards are enough, and there are more centers. At the same time that Uzbekistan moved to the fifth position, Mozgov was obviously a bit redundant. The deal was for Xu Xuan to play the Olympic Games. Signed at the time, without discussing with Xu Xuan.

Mozgov reached an agreement with the Knicks in 2010 to join the NBA, but after only playing for half a year, he was sent as an addition to Anthony. After the Nuggets gradually developed into a starting center, in the middle of the 2014-15 season, under the recommendation of the Cavaliers coach Blatter, the former disciple was able to join the Cavaliers. For this reason, the Cavaliers sent out two first-round picks. Zgov's contract is only 3 years and 14 million.

In the Cavaliers, Mozgov quickly filled in the last shortcoming of the Cavaliers' starting lineup. After the Cavaliers became the starting center, he averaged 10.6 points and 6.9 rebounds per game, setting a career scoring high. However, when facing the Warriors in the Finals , Mozgov did not play a reliable performance, and was still scolded by LeBron on the court.

This person Xu Xuan is not familiar with him, but rather than signing him, Xu Xuan is more willing to sign Shaq...Is Shaq weaker than him?

Xu Xuan doesn't think so.

And now with the better option of UAE, Mozgov is a bit redundant.

Mozgov is Xu Xuan's bargaining chip for the deal, but the four-year contract of 64 million yuan...a bit disgusting, and no one might take it. 8090 Chinese

Xu Xuan was a little tired, he was gone for a while, and bad things were done by the Lakers management.

Now we have to figure out how to pick up a leak from which litter.

If it doesn't work, then you can only consider a three-back or three-forward style of play, but this kind of tactical arrangement of compromise for the sake of compromise is really not the first choice, and it is very easy to be targeted.

Being targeted... is not a good thing.

Winning the championship last season does not make Xu Xuan proud of himself.

He knew very well that there was a fluke in winning the championship last season.

Especially in the finals, if the Warriors are replaced by Thunder, Xu Xuan really doesn't know how they should win, unless Westbrook keeps iron and iron is hopeless, otherwise, the walk will undoubtedly lose.

No way, the Thunder restrains the Pacers.

Ibaka, Durant, and even Westbrook, who is full of muscles, are better than Curry and Clay to beat the Pacers.

This is the difference between teams.

The Pacers can win the Warriors by the touch. The Warriors lost to the Pacers because Curry didn't feel good in several consecutive games, but to switch to Durant as unreasonable, Ibaka was unscrupulous in the low post. How can the Pacers win?

Can't win.

It's not that simple.

Of course, winning the Cavaliers was really desperate, and in the end it took seven games to decide the victory, but if Xu Xuan were to fight again, he couldn't guarantee that he could replicate this miracle.

The thin tactical lineup matching system may not show anything in the regular season, but it will be very deadly in the playoffs. Xu Xuan does not want to leave this weakness for others to target.

So it is best to think of a way to adjust.

After a day of training, Xu Xuan flipped through several quotations on the table.

These were all found by Kupchak at his request in the past two days.

On the top are two Johnsons, one named Joe Johnson and the other named Wesley Johnson.

All are league veterans.

"Singles Joe" is not to say, he has been selected to the All-Star 7 times and averaged 25 points per game in his peak season. In 2010, he signed a six-year, 128 million contract with the Hawks, becoming the highest paid player at the time. But he hadn't been the "Eagle King" for long in the Hawks, and was traded to the Nets in 2012. The Nets' so-called "super battleship" did not succeed, and Johnson was eventually abandoned. His annual salary with the Nets last season was as high as $23.18 million, second only to Kobe among all players in the league.

Johnson, who just turned 35, signed the Heat for 410,000 after he was bought out by the Nets in February this year. In the Heat’s 24 games, he averaged 13.4 points, 2.8 rebounds and 3.6 assists, and his field goal percentage reached 51.8%. .

When the free market opened before, the Utah Jazz had reached a two-year, 22 million signing agreement with Joe Johnson.

How to put it this way, this contract has returned to the market price. Now that the contract is generally at a premium, 2200 in 2 years is definitely not too much.

"Single Joe" is the most promising deal for the Lakers. The main reason is that his contract matches Mozgov. In addition, the Jazz does not lack the third position. They signed the Eagles. The main purpose is to help Hayward lead the team better and increase his experience. As for the help to the team, that is secondary.

And the other one, Wesley Johnson, everyone is very familiar, from 13 to 15 years, has been playing for the Lakers.

In the 2013-14 season and the 2014-15 season, Johnson worked hard for the Los Angeles Lakers. In the two seasons, he played in 155 games, of which 121 played as a starter, and contributed 9.5 per game in 28.9 minutes per game. Points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists.

Johnson, 28, is the fourth pick in the first round of the 2010 NBA Draft. At 6 feet 7 inches, he can play both forward and shooting guard positions on the court.

Although entering the league with the fourth overall pick in the draft, Johnson's NBA road was not smooth. After landing in the Timberwolves in the 2010-11 season, he averaged 9.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 26.2 minutes per game.

However, in the second season, Johnson's performance did not rise and fell. In this season, he could only contribute 6.0 points, 2.7 rebounds and 0.9 assists in 22.6 minutes of playing time per game. After this season, Johnson left the Timberwolves for the Suns. However, Johnson in Phoenix still failed to pinpoint his position.

That is, last season, the Lakers in the rebuilding period did not leave Johnson, and he eventually came to another Los Angeles Clippers team to play. Although most of the season can only serve as the team's substitute, the playing time is also compared with the Lakers. The period has declined, but his efficiency has not been affected, averaging 6.9 points and 3.1 rebounds per game.

Johnson’s annual salary last season was US$1.1 million, and he had a player option worth US$1.3 million next season. After deciding to test the free agency market, the Clippers decided to keep him ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and agreed with it. This three-year contract with a total value of 18 million US dollars.

He is the second choice of the Lakers.

It is also a very promising deal.

There are no good small forwards in the free market now, and it is difficult for the Lakers to trade to their liking.

Everyone won't look at you to reinforce, especially those teams that are eager to get Xu Xuan's yet to get. Now that the Lakers are eager to die, how can they still trade with you and He Meimei?

Unless of interest.

But now the Lakers have nothing but money.

sad.

...

Xu Xuan was not in a hurry. There is still some time before the alliance is listed on the National Chiao Tung University, and there is still a possibility of operation.

Two Johnsons are the most important points, and other suitable ones can also be considered.

As for the defenders like Tony Allen, Bradley, Robertson... Xu Xuan can only drool.

Don't say it is now, it was the first meeting in the free market. Unless it is a free agent, no one will trade such a player to the Lakers, even if they will make a lot of money.

Now many people are still thinking about giving a lesson to the arrogant Xu Xuan and the Lakers fans who have revived the slogan of "Zijin Dynasty".

I just won the championship, I didn't stay honestly with my original team, and then I started to jump, and want to revive?

Revive the peat!

Go and play with me.

No way, the transfer of Xu Xuan does not like many teams.

You say you turn and then you turn, don't you have to go to the Lakers, to the Hornets, and to the Nets?

As a result, the trade the Lakers wanted to make was ignored.

Everyone is treated as invisible, which is uncomfortable.
