I'm a boss in the NBA

Chapter 450 Nothing but money.

After the Olympics, Xu Xuan was free.

However, he was not in a hurry to return to the United States. Kobe did go back, saying that he wanted to prepare for training in advance.

After Xu Xuan sent his parents on the plane back to China, he took Lin Yun to travel.

To be honest, it's been a long time since the two of them went out to play together.

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

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

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

After the fight on August 8, Xu Xuan and Lin Yun set off, first to Berlin, Germany, then to Paris, France and Rome, Italy
It was not until September 9 that the two returned to the United States.

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

Yi Jianlian didn't make Xu Xuan wait any longer. When he was still in Paris, his agent had already announced his latest news. He would join the Los Angeles Lakers in the new season. The two sides signed a 2+1 deal. Contract, full guarantee for the first two years, team option for the third year.

Xu Xuan looked at the amount, it was not bad, 800 million a year, the same as in the previous life.

However, in the contract in the previous life, only 800 of the 25 was guaranteed, not like this one, where the 800 million was fully guaranteed.

Xu Xuan didn't 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 a shooting percentage of 43.9 %, and the free throw percentage was 74.2%.

This data is better than some of the players of the US team.

No longer paying attention to domestic affairs, Xu Xuan focused on private training.

Kobe's movements are still very fast. Leaving aside his side, he even found a training team for Xu Xuan.

The team's chief trainer is Mike Procopio, a fat man with a bald head. Xu Xuan met this fat man with a bald head in Los Angeles.

"Hello, Xu Xuan, nice to meet you." Mike Procopio was 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: "Hi, Mike, nice to meet you as well."

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

"The main thing is to defend, but Kobe thinks my defense is too rigid, and I want to combine other defensive methods."

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

This Mike Procopio looks ordinary, but he is a personal trainer who once helped Kobe train, but Procopio has been directing some scattered work before, this time he was recruited by Kobe, just to do Xu Xuan's long-term business.

"Defensive? No problem. You know that. I used to be Kobe's personal trainer. Although I didn't do it for long, I still know a lot about defense."

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

As for the salary, according to Kobe’s introduction, Procopio’s asking price is not high, and the two sides negotiated for a short time before deciding on the final salary.

50 annual salary.

This price is quite high, no wonder only superstars can afford a personal trainer. If Xu Xuan didn’t have this cheat, his annual salary would only be so much. This is still a salary without tax deduction. Sorry.

But considering that he has to be responsible for Xu Xuan's affairs for a year, and all kinds of training matters have to be handled, it is not as high as imagined.

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

With Xu Xuan's participation this time, some brain-dead transactions of the Lakers did not happen.

Signing Yi Jianlian can be regarded as making up for the gap in not signing Ruhr Deng before.

At the same time as the training, the Lakers tentative roster for the new season was handed over to Xu Xuan.

Point guard: Xu Xuan, Lou Williams, Jordan Clarkson, veteran Marcelo Huertas

Shooting Guard: Nick Young, D'Angelo Russell
Small forwards: Ingram, Metta Shiping
Power forwards: Julius Randle, Larry Nance, Thomas Robinson

Center: Zubac, Mozgov, Yi Jianlian, Tarek Black

15-man roster.

Among them, Xu Xuan and Yi Jianlian are newcomers, Ingram and Zubac are rookies, Mozgov was signed by the free market, and most of the others are former old men who renewed their contracts.

This list is somewhat unreasonable in Xu Xuan's eyes, especially in the positions of small forward and point guard, one is too much and the other is too little.

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

As for Ci Shiping, this guy is no longer able to move, and it is unlikely to expect him to be the first substitute of a small forward.

Kobe led Ci Shiping to meet Xu Xuan once before, and this guy was not unreasonable towards Xu Xuan, especially after the two of them singled out once, Ci Shiping rolled his eyes when Xu Xuan's vigorous physical fitness collided.

Immediately convinced.

In Xu Xuan's vision, three point guards are enough, and there are more centers. When Ah Lian was transferred to the fifth position, Mozgov was obviously redundant. This deal was for Xu Xuan to play in the Olympics. It was signed when it was signed, and it was not discussed with Xu Xuan.

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

In the Cavaliers, Mozgov quickly filled the last shortcoming of the Cavaliers' starting center. After the Cavaliers served as the starting center, he averaged 10.6 points and 6.9 rebounds per game, setting a career scoring record. However, Mozgov did not play a reliable performance, and was scolded by LeBron on the court.

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

Xu Xuan didn't think so.

And now that the United Arab Emirates is a better choice, Mozgov is a bit redundant.

Mozgov is Xu Xuan's bargaining chip, but the 4-year contract of 6400 million yuan is a bit disgusting, and no one may take it.

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

Now I have to think of a way, whether I can pick up a leak from some corner.

If it doesn't work, then you can only consider the three-back or three-forward style of play, but this kind of tactical arrangement 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 did not make Xu Xuan so proud.

He is very clear that winning the championship last season was a fluke.

Especially in the finals, if the Warriors were replaced by the Thunder, Xu Xuan really didn't know how they would win, unless Westbrook was determined to the point of hopelessness, otherwise, the Pacers would definitely lose.

No way, the Thunder restrained the Pacers.

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

That's the difference between teams.

The Pacers were able to win the Warriors because of their touch. The Warriors lost to the Pacers because of Curry's bad touch in a few consecutive games, but it is unreasonable to replace Durant. How else can the Pacers win?
Can't win.

It's not that simple.

Of course, it was really a desperate effort to win against the Cavaliers, and it took seven games to decide the winner, but if Xu Xuan was asked to play again, he couldn't guarantee that he could replicate this miracle.

The weak tactical lineup system may not be obvious in the regular season, but it will be very fatal in the playoffs. Xu Xuan does not want to leave this weakness for others to target.

So it is best to find a way to adjust.

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

These are 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.

They're all league veterans.

Not to mention "Single Player Joe", 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 6-year 1.28 million contract with the Hawks, becoming the highest paid player at the time.But he didn't have long been the "Eagle King" in the Eagles, and was traded to the Nets in 2012.The so-called "super battleship" of the Nets did not succeed, and Johnson was eventually given up.Last season, his annual salary in the Nets was as high as 2318 million US dollars, second only to Kobe among all players in the league, ranking second.

刚年满35岁的约翰逊在今年2月他被篮网买断后就以41万的价格签了热火，在热火的24场比赛场均得到13.4分2.8篮板3.6助攻，投篮命中率达到51.8%。

When the free market opened before, the Utah Jazz had reached a two-year 2 million signing agreement with Joe Johnson.

How should I put it, this contract has already returned to the market price. Now that the contract is generally at a premium, 2 for 2200 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 very well. In addition, the Jazz themselves do not lack the third position. They signed the Hawks. 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, Wesley Johnson, is also very familiar to everyone. From 13 to 15 years, he has been playing for the Lakers.

2013-14赛季以及2014-15赛季，约翰逊在洛杉矶湖人打拼，两个赛季中，他共出战了155场比赛，其中有121场以先发身份出场，在场均28.9分钟的上场时间里贡献9.5个分、4.3个篮板、1.6次助攻。

现年28岁的约翰逊是2010年选秀大会的首轮第4顺位新秀，身高6英尺7英寸的他在场上可以司职前锋和得分后卫两个位置。

尽管顶着选秀第四顺位的光环进入联盟，但约翰逊的NBA之路却并不顺遂。2010-11赛季登陆森林狼之后，他在场均26.2分钟的上场时间里可以交出9.0分、3.0个篮板、1.9次助攻的成绩单。

However, in the second season, Johnson's performance did not improve but declined. In this season, he could only contribute 22.6 points, 6.0 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 0.9 minutes of playing time per game.After this season, Johnson left the Timberwolves for the Suns.Johnson, however, still hasn't been able to figure out his role in Phoenix.

That is, last season, the Lakers who were in the rebuilding period did not keep Johnson. In the end, he came to another team in Los Angeles to play for the Clippers. 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 was $110 million last season, and he held a player option worth $130 million next season. After deciding to test the free agent market, the Clippers decided to keep him. Instead of reaching a three-year contract, The total value of the contract is 1800 million US dollars.

He is the Lakers' second choice.

It is also a very promising deal.

Now in the free market, there are no high-quality small forwards, and it is also very difficult for the Lakers to trade their favorites.

Everyone won't look at you to strengthen, especially those teams that are eager to get Xu Xuan and haven't got it yet. Now they want the Lakers to die. How can they still trade with you and Meimei?

Unless benefit.

But now the Lakers have nothing but money.

sad.

Xu Xuan was not in a hurry. There was still some time before the league handed in the roster, and there was still a possibility of manipulation.

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

As for defensive champions such as Tony Allen, Bradley, and Robertson, Xu Xuan can only drool.

Not to mention now, even at the beginning of 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 in any transaction.

Now many people still want to teach the arrogant Xu Xuan and the Lakers fans who are chanting the revival of the "Zijin Dynasty" a lesson.

Just after winning the championship, he didn't stay in the original team honestly, and then started dancing. Do you want to revive?

Revive Peat!

Let me go and play.

There is no way, the transferred Xu Xuan is really not liked by many teams now.

You said you transferred and transferred, why not go to the Lakers, the Hornets, or the Nets?
This led to the fact that the trade the Lakers wanted to do was ignored at all.

Everyone pretends to be invisible, which is uncomfortable.
