NBA: Bind the ability of Sakuragi Flower Road at the beginning

After the game with the Mavericks, all members of the Lakers returned to Los Angeles.

In the next game, the Lakers will face the visiting Nuggets in two days.

Xu Feng's ten-day contract was due soon, and the manager Kupchak took the initiative to invite Xu Feng to the office to talk.

"Sit, Xu Feng." Kupchak was very enthusiastic and made another cup of coffee for Xu Feng himself.

Xu Feng knew exactly what he was thinking, so he responded calmly and sat down.

"Xu Feng, your recent performance is amazing, I'm already a big fan of yours, haha!" Kupchak kept complimenting.

As a manager, he rarely speaks to players like this.

Because he knows what Xu Feng means to the Lakers.

The boss, Bass, has already spoken and must keep Xu Feng.

But as capitalists, they also have to consider saving money, which makes manager Kupchak very embarrassed.

So he could only try his best to please Xu Feng verbally.

Xu Feng was still expressionless, waiting for him to say the main point.

Seeing that Xu Feng didn't talk nonsense with him, Kupchak coughed.

"Oh...Xu Feng, now you are on a ten-day short contract. Obviously, this is only temporary for you."

"I asked the boss for instructions yesterday, and I got you a contract with a basic salary for this season."

Generally speaking, it is a big step from a ten-day short contract to a bottom-line full-year guarantee.

But that's just for the average role player.

For a player like Xu Feng who has become the core of the team's offense and defense and has played more than 30 minutes, the basic salary contract is too contemptuous.

"Kupchak, you are very generous!" Xu Feng said lukewarmly, and made a movement to push the coffee away at the same time.

Obviously, the body language shows that Xu Feng is not satisfied with the basic salary contract.

Kupchak's face became very embarrassed. In fact, he positioned Xu Feng in his heart as a maximum salary, and it must be a maximum salary!
But the boss, Bass Jr., doesn't want to pay, so what can he do.

The manager is also a worker!

"Oh...Xu Feng, your ability is indeed not worthy of the basic salary, but everything must be done step by step. For the club, it is necessary to consider a player from multiple perspectives..."

"Needless to say, I understand what you mean, don't give me a basic salary, think about the quotation you should give me, and answer me tomorrow."

After speaking, Xu Feng left the office without looking back.

In fact, Xu Feng is not an insatiable person. The core role he plays now deserves a maximum salary.

Xu Feng did not expect to get the maximum salary this season, which is impossible, and there has been no such precedent in the past.

But now with the salary structure of the Lakers, it is completely possible to give Xu Feng a middle-class contract, which is 500 million a year.

This is the minimum respect for Xu Feng.

From a ten-day short contract to a mid-level contract, it is the dream of many fringe players in the league.

"Wait!" Kupchak chased out of the office.

Although the boss wanted to save money, keeping Xu Feng was the most important thing.

Xu Feng stopped in his tracks: "Is there anything else you want to say?"

"You're in a hurry, let's talk again." Kupchak grabbed Xu Feng's arm with a very affectionate look.

"I'm not in a hurry, you should be the ones who should be in a hurry." Xu Feng said bluntly.

Xu Feng returned to the manager's office and sat down again.

"How about a mid-level contract? 500 million a year. Let's talk about it in the offseason!" Kupchak gritted his teeth and raised the maximum limit given by his boss, Bass Jr.

Xu Feng sneered in his heart, he was supposed to give me a middle-class contract, both sides benefited, but he just made fun of me, damn it!

Xu Feng didn't speak, but brought over the coffee just now and took a sip.

"Well, let's sign the middle class this season. I hope we can have a good talk during the offseason."

Kupchak looked at the young man in front of him, secretly admiring him, knowing that he was not so easy to fool.

But he must also admit that Xu Feng still has affection and righteousness for the Lakers.

With Xu Feng's recent performance, any team he throws an olive branch at will get a contract of at least tens of millions.

In today's era where small balls are prevalent, players like Xu Feng who are highly mobile, have height, have bounce, and have a high golf quotient are hard to come by.

Kupchak took out the contract and showed it to Xu Feng.

Xu Feng and the Lakers officially signed a mid-level contract, the deadline is the end of this season.

After the Lakers players heard that Xu Feng had signed the mid-level contract, they all congratulated him.

It is rare for Kobe to send out an invitation to treat Xu Feng to dinner at home.

You know, Kobe's character is somewhat paranoid, although many teammates are very respectful to him on the court.

But off the court, everyone felt that Kobe was not so easy to get along with.

This character is somewhat similar to Jordan back then.

But Kobe even invited Xu Feng to dinner at home, which is too rare.

Of course Xu Feng couldn't refute Big Brother's face.

After all, Kobe has said a lot of good things for Xu Feng in these days, otherwise Xu Feng's starting lineup would not have come so early.

Of course, this is also the arrival of Xu Feng's strength, and Kobe has a discerning eye.

Xu Feng changed into a formal outfit and came to Kobe's mansion as promised.

Kobe's mansion is located in Newport, California, which is a rich area where almost all the rich in Los Angeles live.

Moreover, this mansion is located on a hillside, with fresh air and a view of the beach.

Xu Feng secretly vowed that he would also buy such a house in the future and bring his parents to live there.

Kobe's wife Vanessa greeted Xu Feng warmly.

This is not the first time Xu Feng has met Vanessa.

Once in a home game, Vanessa took her children to watch the game.

But at that time Xu Feng only played for 2 minutes, and no one noticed him during that time.

"Xu, I watched your game, it's great, you will become a superstar!" Vanessa also knows the ball very well, and she praised Xu Feng.

Xu Feng replied modestly: "You are too much, I have to learn more from Kobe."

Kobe was never polite about basketball matters, walked over and said: "Then you are right, I also have a court here, and I will teach you a few tricks in a while."

"Okay!" Xu Feng laughed and gave Kobe a high five!
Perhaps the change of the old and the new for the Lakers has already begun.

The dinner prepared by Kobe and his wife was very sumptuous, and Kobe even cooked himself and fried steak for Xu Feng.

To be honest, Xu Feng is usually not used to the steak here, especially the rare one.

But Xu Feng ate the medium-rare steak Kobe fried this time with great relish.

It seems that the difference in raw materials will lead to different tastes of the same dish.

After eating, Kobe's children also came out to play with Xu Feng for a while.

In the end, Kobe still didn't forget, and took Xu Feng to his arena.

Although Xu Feng has system bonuses, some of his techniques are not so delicate.
