Chapter 264 264. James Out of the Contract

Farmar was a little surprised to see that Kobe was so different from before. Although Kobe surprised him a lot this season, it was unimaginable that Kobe could invite a group of role players to his house to play!Now he can still brag and talk nonsense with a player with a basic salary like Thackeray. He really doubts whether Kobe has been changed by aliens.

But he is depressed now. After being eliminated by the Spurs, he announced that he would opt out of the player option, waiting for the Lakers to give him a promise to renew his contract, but half a month has passed, and the Lakers management has not contacted him.

If the team is busy with other things and forgets to renew the contract, he can understand it, but Thackeray has been guaranteed a contract renewal, and it is said that he is also negotiating a new contract with the agent of Nick Young who also jumped out of the contract. , he was completely left alone.

Also depressed is Wesley Johnson. Since Bazemore is playing well at the backup small forward position, and the management is also planning to keep Bazemore in the team because of Liu Ren, Wesley Johnson It has become dispensable. If he implements the player option, the team will naturally keep him, and maybe he can be used as a bargaining chip, but if he jumps out of the contract, it has nothing to do with them.

Liu Ren heard his teammates talking about the World Cup and stayed away from them silently. Now he is starting to feel sad again. The national team did not qualify for the first World Cup. Now he has truly experienced the legendary "nowhere to serve the country "What does it feel like.

A few gamblers made another small bet in the evening. This season is completely irrelevant to players like the Lakers.

……

In the half month after being eliminated by the Spurs, Liu Ren basically stayed away from basketball. If Kobe hadn't invited everyone to a party today, he wouldn't even want to watch Game [-] of the Finals.

In the past half month, he took a good rest, took the little girl to go shopping in Hollywood, took the little girl to play video games all day long, and ate a lot of things that Xiaoai made that he couldn't eat normally.

Now Liu Ren has one more job to do, which is to clean up the hygiene at home. The big girl's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and she will give birth in two months. The chick has big legs and let the big girl live at home and rest, do it every day Just cook and wash clothes. Cooking is very simple for big loli. Just sort the clothes and put them in the washing machine. Anyway, they are automatically dried.

European and American countries, as well as the former British colonial countries, did not hang their clothes outside to dry. In these countries, only women with special occupations would hang their clothes outside. There were Asian girls who hung their clothes outside the windowsill and were arrested by the police. The thing about the uncle taking away happened because it was treated as a solicitation...

After rest, on June 6th, the league draft lottery ended, the Lakers got the 20th pick in the first round, and Liu Ren also officially put into training.

He is now focusing on shooting, especially the mid-range shot. After discussing with his assistant coach Mark Jackson and trainer Gary Viddy, he will take a rest after training for a maximum of 1000 shots a day. He cannot train too much.

This is the amount that Liu Ren fought hard to get. The biggest headache for the current trainers is not that the stars who train hard train too little, but train too much, and those who don't train hard train too little. The polarization is too serious .

Liu Ren divided the number of shots into 300 three-pointers, 500 mid-range shots and 200 shots from any position in the three-second zone.

In addition to the weight training Gary Viddy arranged for him twice a week, he needed to go to the Toyota Center for training.

More than a year has passed, and Liu Ren's weight has grown from less than 90 kilograms at the beginning to 102 kilograms, which is 220 pounds in American units of measurement, which is about the same as Kobe's peak, and about the same weight as Bosh...

However, Liu Ren has a slender figure that can't even float in swimming, and he still looks a little thin. After research, the Lakers assistant coaches and trainer team believe that he can increase another 10 to 15 pounds, which is 4 to 7 kilograms. , in order to give full play to his strength advantage more perfectly, and there will be no physical disadvantage at the top of the power forward position.

If you love something and devote yourself to it, time will pass quickly.

For a person who loves basketball, training is lonely and boring, but the joy after completing the goal is not lost to other things, just like the feeling of successfully advancing in the League of Legends promotion game.

Liu Ren is training in the training room at home, the last event of the NBA season - the draft is gradually approaching, and after the finals, those journalists who have been idle for a long time are starting to make trouble again .

The Lakers stopped in the Western Conference Finals, in people's eyes, they must be strengthened!

So, the ESPN reporters "planned" for the Lakers. Their prediction was that the Lakers would use Liu Ren as a bargaining chip!
The reason they gave was simple. Liu Ren and Kobe were at odds, and even attributed the reason why the Lakers lost to the Spurs to this point.

Now ESPN has slowly shifted its focus from Kobe to Liu Ren, because Kobe has only been there for two or three years, and Liu Ren still has more than ten years to be black!

After Liu Ren saw the news, he really wanted to throw his stinky socks in their faces!
Originally, this time was the most beautiful, and the most concerned team should be the team that just won the championship, but the Spurs were too low-key. After the championship celebration parade, it seemed that everyone evaporated, and the media would focus on it again. To the Lakers and James who were the last to pay attention.

The Lakers are being attacked by ESPN, and there is also big news happening in the East.

On June 6th, one day before the draft, the Big Three of the Heat jumped out of the contract collectively!The star of the Knicks, Anthony, who fell into a trough this year and turned around, also jumped out of the contract!
In 03, the four superstars jumped out of the contract at the same time, which gave a very strong motivation to all the teams aspiring to win the championship. They all stared at the four and sent invitations to the managers of the four.

Among them, Wade and James rejected all invitations and went on vacations. Anthony also remained silent. Only Bosh accepted many teams to negotiate after the free market opened in July.

But these have nothing to do with the Lakers. They really want to get James. Yes, they contacted James' agent after the finals, but James made it clear through his agent that he wanted to be an opponent with Kobe.

Although Kobe and James both wanted to try the legendary match made in heaven, they wanted to play against each other in the finals.

The attention of the media was suddenly attracted by the four superstars jumping out of the contract. The Lakers seemed to feel underestimated, and they also threw out a big news!
