the rest, only noise

Chapter 1429 I don't know the so-called holiday
After winning the Fukuoka Asian Championships, Louis took the players to the famous Kusatsu Onsen and ate Kobe steak. Then, on the third day after the Asian Championships, they returned to China collectively.

This is the first time Louis has chosen to return to China after completing a period of men's basketball work.

Because the NBA has been shut down now, he has no urgent need to return to the United States. He takes this opportunity to go back to China and take a vacation.

There is one thing Louis doesn't like about returning to China, that is, there are a lot of entertainment.

There are all kinds of things, some of which he can refuse, and some he cannot refuse.

Louis spent ten days on TV shows, wine bureaus, and celebration parties of various sizes before he found time.

Louis first went back and forth to the courtyard.

Since the establishment of the Road Academy, it has cultivated countless basketball talents for China. The number of NBA players alone has reached double digits, and there are countless overseas players. After returning to China, quite a few of these people choose to bring back the advanced concepts they learned abroad.

Some people imitate the model of the Road Academy to set up basketball schools, others start enlightenment training camps, and some even organize various invitational tournaments for teenagers with well-known players in the United States like the United States.

Last year's runner-up in the World Championships made this enthusiasm soar, and Chinese basketball is in a period of rapid growth.

Louis also made new discoveries in the Road Court this time.

There are two young players with top talents in Luyuan.

The old coach who had coached Liu Yuqing, Kang Chengbiao and others before said: "These two little guys will definitely be NBA material in the future."

Louis saw one of them and felt a little familiar.

"What's the last name of that tall, thin kid?"

"Principal, do you mean Xiao Yi?"

When Louis heard the surname Yi, he knew it was right.

The other party began to introduce Xiao Yi to Louis, and when talking about him, he seemed very proud, because Xiao Yi was discovered by him on the field field in Heshan, Guangdong.

He feels that, in terms of physical fitness alone, Xiao Yi can rank among the top three in the entire history of the national basketball team.

The other one is interesting. He looks like a mixed race named Lin Ziye. He plays from position one to position five on the field. He runs fast and jumps high. His physical fitness is not as good as Xiao Yi's, but he has an innate sense of coordination in his movements and is full of aura.

This is a seedling with endless possibilities.

Louie asked, "When are they coming to America?"

"Just this year."

※※※

Louie came and went quietly.

Afterwards, Louis wandered around again, and did not leave for the United States until October.

At this moment, due to the slow progress of labor negotiations, the NBA has canceled this year's preseason and all regular seasons in November.

When Louis returned home, Wuxia showed him a trophy.

The trophy reads: Adidas Training Camp Most Valuable Player.

"Did you meet any good players in the training camp?" Louis asked casually.

"Yes." Wuxia said, "There is a man named Carmelo Anthony who is very good."

Louis became interested: "Have you ever played against him?"

"No." Wuxia smiled, "He is my teammate."

"Oh"

Louis didn't say much.

Although Wuxia is not yet 15 years old, but his height has reached 196 cm, he is a well-known basketball genius in the United States. This summer, as a ninth grader, he was selected as the best high school team in "USA Today" and beat Tyson Chandler to be elected Mr. Basketball in California.

This is the first time a ninth grader has won both awards.

Although Louis was pleasantly surprised by these flawless achievements, he was not so surprised.

Because Wuxia is a precocious player, his real test is in the next few years, when his peers also mature, can he still have the current dominance?
If not, it means that he is just Zhong Yong in the basketball world.

If there is, then Louis will look forward to the sparks between Wuxia and another enchanting character born in 1984.

The rare and leisurely Louis found that he didn't like the current life.

He doesn't like living around doing nothing.

Then, without knowing where Jim Bass got the news of Louis' return, he drove to Sunset Villa himself.

"Sir, I haven't seen you for a few months, you don't know how much I miss you!"

The dandy spoke disgusting words that made Louis' scalp itch.

Louis let him sit down and asked, "Jim, there is no need to be courteous between us. Are you here today for business or private?"

Little Buss said sadly: "Can't it be because I miss you so much?"

"If you're serious, I'll get chills down my spine." Louis said with a light smile, "Quickly, what's the matter?"

Bass Jr. laughed dryly, "Well, apart from missing the coach, I did come with an official business."

Wouldn't it be over early?
Louis rolled his eyes, "Go ahead."

Little Buss immediately took out a document from his body, "Sir, please read."

Louis took a look at the document and couldn't help narrowing his eyes.

This is a draft contract extension.

To be precise, this is the early contract extension between the Lakers and Louie.

4 million US dollars in 5000 years, 50 bonuses for the playoffs, 50 bonuses for the semifinals, 50 bonuses for the Western Conference finals, and 200 million bonuses for the championship.

If the bonus is also included, the contract is as high as 4 years and 6250 million US dollars.

This will be the highest salary at the fault level in the industry.

Moreover, this is only a coaching contract.

The subsequent president's contract was $4 million for four years, and the playoff bonuses added up to 3000 million.

Adding up the two contracts, Louis can be considered to have signed a salary of [-] million yuan.

Although Rick Pitino of the Trail Blazers claims to be paid at the Louis level, Louis' level is also time-sharing.

For example, Louis' current level, and Louis' level a few years ago, and Louis' level in New York.

According to Portland media reports, Pitino's annual salary is $800 million, with a playoff bonus of $300 million.

This is almost the price that Louie signed with the Lakers.

Louis put down the document, "I believe you are sincere."

broken
Little Buss felt that something bad was going to happen as soon as he heard it, and usually saying this was paving the way for rejection.

"I haven't thought about the next contract yet." Louie explained, "After all, my current contract is not over yet."

Buss Jr. said: "Sir, the Lakers are what they are today because of you. You are our godfather and the cornerstone of the team. You have to stay no matter what."

"Jim, I know what you think, but it's really inappropriate now." Louis has been a goblin for many years, so naturally he won't be played by Bass' emotional card. "You see, I am leading the Lakers while taking care of the work of the Chinese team. I don't have a few days to rest throughout the year. I really have to be cautious when dealing with the next contract. Maybe I will want to take a break then?"

Little Bass sighed helplessly.

"That's fine, we'll talk about it later." Little Bass sat down leisurely, "Sir, I'm not going anywhere today, you have to take care of the meal."

Louis snorted softly, this blissful dandy is becoming more and more presumptuous.

But it's not suitable for people to come to be a guest after all, no matter what the meal is.

Louis had no choice but to order the nanny to prepare today's lunch and dinner, and then went to play golf with little Bass.

After dinner, Bass left and Louis stayed in the living room watching TV.

A sense of emptiness with nothing to do hits Louis.

He doesn't consider himself a workaholic, but he can't settle down to enjoy this kind of unplanned vacation.

For a while, Louis' life turned to his wife.

As a husband, he can finally accompany Lorraine to attend various entertainment events.

As a father, he can also rush to the high school gym to watch the flawless game.

In mid-October, Benjamin Wilson was fed up with the long lockout and could no longer bear not having a fixed practice team around him. He issued a call to the Lakers teammates to set up a private training camp in Los Angeles.

Bryant responded positively to Wilson's call.

Garnett said nothing, saying that he would arrive as soon as possible.

Duncan's reply to Wilson was: "Do you think I will come or not?"

The disrespectful Bodi Loga is enjoying a holiday in Europe: "No time, don't bother."

Barkley was even more outrageous: "Train your head?"

Generally speaking, except for Bodi Loga, the weirdo, and Barkley, the old and unscrupulous, the young Lakers basically responded to Benj.

However, Louis did not give a clear answer.

Wilson invited him, too, and Louie responded, "It depends."

The benefit of having a great leader is that even in turbulent times, the team can still gel spontaneously with professionalism.

Under Wilson's leadership, most of the Lakers' players rushed to training camp.

Also, everyone who came to training camp kept up during the lockout, no one was out of shape, and Kobe even looked like he had put on some muscle.

Garnett's change is the most obvious, his muscles and bones look much stronger, and the biggest change is in the lower body.

Garnett's two thighs are full of training marks, and their dimensions are at least a few sizes larger than last season. This is really hard work to achieve this.

"Then, from today until the end of the lockout, we will carry out the training camp in accordance with the preseason training camp model. If we want to be lazy and withdraw voluntarily, if we want to stay, we must train according to my standards." Wilson said majesticly, "I will not allow anyone to be left behind."

Garnett volunteered: "Ben, my buddy must be the pacesetter in the training camp!"

"Stop doing this!" Wilson rolled his eyes at him, and looked at Kobe, "Bean, the coach hasn't come yet, and you usually train the hardest, so you have to come up with a plan."

Hearing this, Kobe's eyes flashed with excitement: "I'll make a training plan, are you sure?"

"Before the coach comes, it's you!"
