super small forward

Chapter 556

Liu Ren looked at O'Neill with a smug face, as if saying: "Is it right to follow me?" O'Neill, Monroe and Biyombo, who looked bitter and depressed, didn't know what to say to describe their feelings.

However, the trick that O'Neal taught him to knock the opponent away while lifting the ball and gently throwing the ball into the basket with his fingertips is indeed a thief!
Liu Ren finally understood what Kupchak meant when he said it was very suitable for him.

After getting O'Neill's contact information from Kupchak, Liu Ren thought for two days and made a difficult decision to send a text message to O'Neill, and then O'Neill replied almost instantly. After calling, I contacted O'Neill, and O'Neill waited for two full days...

Liu Ren has heard a lot about O'Neill in the past two years, and it is mainly related to Liu Ren himself. It seems that O'Neal seems to be his die-hard fan.

As for socializing, although I occasionally see them at the Staples Center, they are mostly just saying hello.

To ask why?
Liu Ren is a Kobe fan!

Kobe fans are at odds with O'Fat!
When O'Neill wore Liu Ren's jersey and squeezed the jersey into a vest, Liu Ren burst out laughing instantly, this guy O'Pang is really funny.

Among other things, this guy O'Neal was born with more friends than Kobe, and his personality is too social.

It was not the first time the two met, and there were not many polite things. Soon Liu Ren began to ask O'Neill for advice on hooking.

However, when Liu Ren asked for advice, his expression obviously betrayed his true thoughts in his heart. The distrust on his face made O'Neill very sad and indignant, and he immediately asked Kupchak for two sparring partners... Just after the press conference, he officially joined the Lakers Monroe and Biyombo.

Then O'Neal showed Liu Ren a demonstration on Monroe.

When Monroe first arrived at the Lakers, he was kicked out. He didn't know why he was so unlucky. He was dragged by a monster to warm up when he arrived, and then he was brutally abused inside.

O'Neal is in his 40s and hasn't played professional games for many years, but he is still O'Neal!That size, that huge strength, and the height and floor area are more than a lap larger than Monroe. In two hits, Monroe hit the sideline of the three-second zone to the reasonable collision zone, and then the ball fell into it with a shake of his little hand. basket.

After O'Neal abused Monroe, he asked Liu Ren to try it too, and the subject of Liu Ren's experiment was Bi Yongbo.

Biyombo is a typical West African center. He is thin and tall, can jump, has good explosive power, and has explosive physical fitness. However, the same tonnage is insufficient. Playing depends on physical fitness. When encountering skilled meat piles, he will often be deflated. This situation is magnified to Yao Ming when he eats and sleeps. Playing Warcraft is the most typical representative.

Of course Biyombo is far worse than Howard. His biggest role on the court is to actively block shots, grab rebounds, and make up dunks. Not to mention the peak Howard, he is far behind the current Howard, but he also has His advantage is that although he is a little shorter, Liu Ren, who is taller than the inch-headed Liu Ren, is actually the same height when standing together, but his wingspan has reached an astonishing [-] meters, which is even more terrifying than Anthony Davis. Guy has a good sense of smell and he can really guard the inside line when Whiteside is resting, and wipe Gasol's ass when partnering with Gasol...

300 million a year, signing such a daring and energetic fifth substitute insider, don't make too much money, and Joe, who doesn't want to pay a penny of luxury tax, will send him away as a burden.

Then Liu Ren tried to hit Biyongbo, Biyongbo was about to cry at that time, without such a bully, a small forward knocked a center back two steps in a row, and then the ball was thrown into the basket...

In terms of tonnage and static strength, Bi Yongbo is indeed no different from those jumping men. Sure enough, he is still the same as Liu Ren's impression of him, a master who uses bounce and wingspan to grab rebounds and block shots.

I have to admit, just like what Kupchak said, Liu Ren thinks that O'Neal's style of play is really suitable for him. It is unlikely that the opponent will use a center forward to defend him, or even a power forward. So when facing the opponent's outside line, Liu Ren felt that this trick must be very effective.

Then Liu Ren really started to practice this trick, the main thing is to practice the ball control to protect the ball from falling when hitting someone with his back, and also to seize the right time to pick up the ball and stretch it out after hitting the opponent away. Straight arm and use the strength of the wrist to pick the ball into the basket this time.

When Liu Ren saw that O'Neal, a guy who knew nothing but dunks in his mind, was so flexible and accurate in the small hook under the basket, all three views collapsed, and then he decided to practice this summer up!Don't stop if you don't exceed O'Neal's accuracy!
O'Neill was very satisfied to see that his little hook had a successor, and Liu Ren felt as if he had forgotten something while practicing, and felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, so he actively devoted himself to the little hook. training.

As for Monroe and Biyombo, one was O'Neill's teaching target, and the other was Liu Ren's practice target...

……

……

Los Angeles, near Hollywood, in addition to Beverly Hills, there is also a small villa area called Normandy Manor. Although it is not as world-famous as Beverly Hills, the housing prices here are not worse than Beverly Hills, because here It's Los Angeles.

In a newly rented villa in the Normandy manor, two people are arguing.

"Greg, how can you sign with the Lakers privately? This is not in line with our agreement! 900 million? Are the Lakers sending off beggars?" A bald white man roared almost collapsed.

"David, I want to go to the Lakers, you know, I want to win the championship early, and playing in Los Angeles is great, isn't it?" Monroe looked relatively calm.

When Monroe entered the NBA, his evaluation was that he had the most traditional center body and the most calm mentality. His templates were Webber and Duncan. Since he was put on the bench by Van Gundy, he has never complained. Instead, he is still diligent. It can be seen from playing sincerely that his inner strength is strong.

Monroe has set Duncan as his goal since he played basketball. Of course, Duncan, who was flying into the sky and escaping from the ground in the early stage of his career, is not suitable for Monroe to learn. He imitated Duncan after 05. He is calm, skilled, and good at sacrifice. Even Duncan He has learned all the psychology he has learned.

This is Monroe's newly rented house, and the distraught white man is the famous basketball agent David Falk.

David Falk owns 20 NBA players, which is different from most of the young team of the Lakers who were picked up by the chick. None of David Falke's men is a lottery pick, and there are many top ten picks and top three picks. It can be said that he is one of the first few agents for those popular rookies.

David Falk got Jordan a 1996 million one-year contract in 3000!In the 90s, $3000 million could buy a team that had just joined the NBA!When the Magic first entered the NBA, the franchise fee was 3260 million. Then the Magic got a No. 12 pick when they joined, and they also selected [-] players from other NBA teams...

After becoming famous in World War I, David Falk became the favorite of players who later entered the NBA, and a large number of high-ranking rookies joined him.

When Monroe was drafted in 2010, he was evaluated as the most perfect American center among rookies who entered the NBA after the 21st century. David Falk naturally signed him to his banner.

However, David Falk has always felt that he can't grasp Monroe at all. Last year, he wanted to promote Monroe's deal to the Spurs. Change Monroe, give Monroe a 5-year 6000 million contract, but Monroe doesn't want to partner with Duncan, he wants to beat Duncan, and then skip David Falk, the agent chooses to accept the qualification offer and rejects 5 Annual contract of 6000 million.

This time Monroe came again. When David Falk went to China to help his newly signed No. 3 pick Mario Hezonja sign an endorsement contract with a Chinese sneaker brand, he made his own decision and the Lakers. The team signed a cheap three-year contract, and David Falk saw the news from the news, and immediately flew from Shanghai to Los Angeles.

Contrary to Monroe's calmness, David Falk continued to roar: "Okay, I understand you want a big stage, but you can tell me! 900 million a year? God, you don't know what you are now One of the biggest names in free agency? I can definitely let the Lakers use the rest of the cap space on you, and you can get at least 1500 million..."

Listening to the constant chatter of this agent who has nothing but money in his eyes, Monroe became a little impatient.

"David, the time difference between Los Angeles and Detroit is a bit big. I'm a little tired. Let's talk about it next time." Monroe ordered the eviction.

David Falk was even more upset when he saw the attitude of this player he had never been able to control, but this is the United States, and the owner ordered the guests to leave. If the guests refused to leave, the result might be very interesting. David Falk could only leave in a rage.

Monroe looked at David Falk's back and sighed helplessly.

He has made it very clear!He wants to win the championship early, wants to show his ability on a bigger stage, and pays less money in exchange for a better stage. Why doesn't his manager understand?

What's the use of going to a weak team to get a big contract now?Monroe has seen too many talented young players from weak teams get a big contract after their rookie contract, and then struggle for several years in weak teams without any honors. He is a star player, and he was used to death. In the end, he delayed himself. He didn't get honors in his 30s, and his body might not be able to hold on. McGrady, Mourning, Arenas... There are too many such example.

The team that Monroe most wants to go to is actually the Spurs that he rejected. If he goes now, he will play for Duncan. This is the first point he disagrees with, but it is more important to him. But if he goes to the Spurs now, he will definitely play in the shadow of Duncan, and he will not be valued by people. If he shows his ability in the Lakers in the next two years and helps the Lakers get enough honors, Wouldn't it be better to wait until Duncan retires to play under Popovich?

In Liu Ren's original time and space, Monroe chose the Bucks with outstanding talents and excellent coaches. He wanted to play his own value in the rising Bucks, but one of the Bucks' point guards grew into a center. Here's what Monroe didn't expect.

In this time and space, because the Bucks were poached by Liu Ren for the key to their rise, the Bucks are still looking for talent. Other teams did not satisfy Monroe, so he came to Los Angeles and wanted to go to the Lakers , I want to take advantage of the opportunity when Gasol is old and Whiteside has not yet settled down in the starting lineup. There is nothing wrong with signing 1+1 after the negotiation. If the Lakers win three consecutive championships, he may get more things.

Monroe is too calm psychologically. He calmly made a good analysis for his future. As for whether he can succeed, that is another matter. Anyway, Liu Ren's original time and space did not succeed. Unfortunately, drinking cold water really clogged my teeth.

Watching David Falk walk out of the gate of the villa wall, Monroe thought for a while, and then dialed a number.

"Hello, is that Mary?... That's right, I'm Greg. It's the boss who asked me to contact you if necessary. I terminated the contract with my agent... When did I terminate the contract? After I negotiated the contract with you... Of course, there will be no problem, so you can set a time, I am free anytime."

After hanging up the phone, Monroe felt relieved.

Everything has changed, the place I live in has changed, the team has changed, my agent has changed, my girlfriend...will change soon, this is Los Angeles!Monroe heard that those young models would post upside down when they saw the Lakers players.

Terminating David Falk was all it took for Monroe to be a letter.

Monroe has long been prepared to terminate the contract with David Falk. In the summer of [-], when Monroe was still a college student, when negotiating the contract with David Falk, it was stated that both parties could terminate the agent at any time. protocol.

In David Falk's view, no player will leave his banner voluntarily, because he can always get the best contract for his own players, which is the fundamental reason why he can talk to his own players with that almost crazy attitude.

Monroe thought of meeting Liu Ren for the first time yesterday. He had attended the press conference of joining the Lakers and officially signed a three-year contract. He was dragged to the training ground by O'Neal like a chicken, and then half a year later. After an hour, I saw Liu Ren's terrifying strength.

To be honest, Monroe has never partnered with such a strong player. When Liu Ren abused Biyombo, Monroe seemed to see James who had no opponents in the Eastern Conference for four years during the Heat period.

"Hi, Greg, I didn't expect Mickey to bring you here. I have a big question, are you Duncan's illegitimate son? You both have a poker face, just like that boring guy Leonard, I wonder if Duncan is number two Chamberlain."

"Teammates? They are a bunch of useless guys, yes, they are very useless. Apart from robbing my data and robbing my honor, they are useless."

"You're going to compare yourself to Hassan? It's funny..."

"..."

"How do you say that Drummond and Nike can get 7 million endorsements in seven years? As a Laker, it's easy, isn't it? Well, the important point is that he and my agent are the same person."

Monroe took the initiative to talk to Liu Ren. Compared with Monroe, Liu Ren, an otaku, was too young. He seemed to answer some miscellaneous questions, but Monroe tricked him out of everything he wanted to know.

The most critical point is why Green can get an endorsement contract that is much higher than Monroe himself. The endorsement fee between Monroe and Nike is 500 million for four years. He transferred from Peak to Nike in 2011. At Peak, it was only 500 million RMB a year, which was less than 100 million US dollars.

Centers don’t sell shoes. This is the law of the basketball shoe market. Even Yao Ming and Howard’s shoes can’t be sold. After Howard’s first 600-million-level sneaker endorsement ended, the second endorsement was only [-] million a year. You must know that he had just become the All-Star vote leader at that time.

And Green recently got an endorsement contract with an average annual average of more than 400 million, which is already quite high among the insiders.

Who doesn't want more money?Even if he signed with the Lakers for only two years and at the so-called market price, Monroe would lose about 600 million yuan. If he can find a way to earn it back, it would be great.

In Monroe's view, joining Liu Ren's agency was a very good choice.
