I'm teammates with Kobe

Chapter 61 The Most Harsh in History
Kissing Xixi goodbye (the nickname Chu Xiao gave Cuixi before going out), Chu Xiao drove straight to the training hall. Since there was no training in the morning, his teammates also arrived early. Naturally, everyone was curious about the reason for his disappearance, and gathered around one after another. What you said to me made the training hall very lively.

"Ahem!" Kobe coughed twice behind the crowd, causing everyone to look back.

"I'm free and have nothing to do, right? Don't you need to train?" Kobe looked at everyone with a serious expression. Ask Xi, have you considered other people's privacy issues?"

Everyone was silent, but their expressions became resentful.

"Okay, get the hell out of here, do what you should do!" Kobe glared angrily, and the crowd turned into birds and beasts in fright.

"Boss, thank you so much. If you hadn't helped me out, I couldn't help but tell the whole story. They would have to spread my embarrassment everywhere, making the whole Los Angeles know." Chu Xiao greeted Kobe and gave Kobe a big slap Embrace.

The latter's expression became gentle, but he stood motionless on the spot, letting Chu Xiao hug him, but seeing that he refused to let go after holding him for a long time, he couldn't help frowning and said, "You don't like men, do you? Hold on for so long and still not let go?"

"Ah, no!" Chu Xiao immediately let go of his hand in embarrassment, scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "I'm not interested in that, but I like you boss from the bottom of my heart."

"Come on, it's so disgusting." Kobe pretended to shake his shoulders, and then talked about the business, "How are you thinking about forming a private team?"

"Thought it over, I need to form a team, but I still need the boss to recommend me in terms of personnel composition." Chu Xiao replied.

"This is very simple. You already have an agent, Pelinka. This doesn't count. You just need to hire another nutritionist, personal trainer, public relations operation, doctor and physical therapist." Bryant stretched out his palm, "So, there are five people in total."

"Need so many people?" Chu Xiao was very surprised.

"A lot? Not a lot." Bryant explained, "I didn't understand it before, and Jordan was the first player I ever saw who hired so many personal members at the same time. Every time I went to his room, there was It was as lively as a carnival. I didn’t understand what these people were doing at the time, but later I understood that he was constantly investing in himself to make himself stronger, so he became the best in the world and the best in history.”

"It's understandable to hire nutritionists and trainers. Why do we need public relations operations?" Chu Xiao thinks that only four people are enough.

"You don't understand this." Kobe explained patiently, "In the era of new media, don't think that public relations operations are dispensable. He can create momentum for himself, allowing you to gain widespread attention. Celebrity voting will also have an advantage, let him run Twitter and other accounts for you, interact with fans if there is nothing to do, and explain for you when there is something to do, and maintain your positive image... In short, do you have so much time and energy? If you want to operate yourself, then these tasks can be handed over to PR operations.”

"Oh..." Chu Xiaoruo realized something.

"Okay, just follow what I said. If you can't find a suitable one, I can recommend you nutritionists, trainers, doctors, and physical therapists. As for public relations, you can do it yourself."

"I can't find it. I really can't find it. Boss, you can recommend it for me." Chu Xiao heard that he must have hit a snake with a stick. His face was full of joy, and he was so happy that he wanted to hug Kobe again.

"Don't hug! Keep your distance!" Kobe took a step back and said, "I really can't do anything about you, okay, I'll just take care of those 4 for you."

"Okay, Boss is so kind, long live Boss!" Chu Xiao couldn't hug him, so he raised his hands in mid-air, clenched them into fists and waved them.

"Okay, okay." Kobe's flattery to him was very helpful, with a look on his face that wanted to laugh but held back.

At this moment, Zen master came out with the coaching staff, accompanied by Arenas who had just signed with the Lakers.

"Every body, come on! Come here!" Master Zen clapped his hands to call everyone, "Let me introduce you to the new team member, Arenas, I believe everyone is familiar with it."

Regarding the fact that the team signed with Arenas right after Goodlock was waived, everyone present, except Kobe, Chu Xiao and a very few insiders, were shocked.

Everyone is in the same league, so they are naturally familiar with the weird things Arenas has done.To be honest, his reputation is not good. Almost no one is willing to be his teammate anymore, and naturally no team is willing to sign with him, even though he still has good strength.

After a short period of surprise and silence, Warcraft and Jamison, who had been teammates with him, applauded first to express their welcome, and the others had to applaud sparingly.

The Zen master understood what everyone was thinking, so he explained, "I know what you are all worried about. Arenas used to be a cancer in the locker room. He had a bad temper, liked to trick his teammates, and did many strange things. , the most well-known one is probably holding a gun. I don’t need to elaborate on this, you all know it. However, he is a late blooming basketball wizard after all. He still has good scoring ability and is willing to continue to contribute as a substitute. Strength. More importantly, he wants to make changes and is willing to be better. Since he has such determination, then you should also look at him from the perspective of development, give him support and tolerance, and I hope that each of you can get along peacefully , in the end it’s all for the team to become stronger.”

"Of course, we can't rely on a person's verbal guarantee to fully trust him, so we drew up a rather harsh contract. As long as he breaks his promise, he can be fired immediately without any consequences. Next, let Xiao Lai expose the contract. Details."

Subsequently, Shaw introduced Arenas' contract. He signed with the Lakers a one-year contract with a non-guaranteed basic salary of $260 million.

Where is this harsh, it is the most demanding contract in history, almost the same as the "summer contract".

Xiao Nian was very long, but Chu Xiao only remembered a few things, that is, the contract amount is not guaranteed, and the salary is calculated on a daily basis. When Arenas is on the team roster for one day, even one day’s salary is about 15000 Dollars, but not a penny.

Another point is that once Arenas has an injury, or because of poor performance, violation of discipline, or injury to teammates, the Lakers can directly lay off him, and only need to pay a salary of 6000 US dollars.

After the details of this contract were announced, Chu Xiao agreed with his teammates. He felt that the Lakers had gone too far. Having been an All-Star three times and scoring 3 points against Kobe at Staples, it is embarrassing that such a character can only get such a harsh basic salary contract. If it were someone else, he could refuse to leave.

Arenas would definitely not accept it if he had the mentality of the past, and he would probably retire directly, but now he is different from before, and his attitude is very low. He said, "I have matured now. Joining the Lakers is a journey of redemption. I will welcome this most demanding contract with the best mentality, and I am willing to accept everyone's supervision. I hope I can play well with everyone on the court." With our cooperation, we became true friends off the court.”

"Papa papa..."

This time, everyone welcomed him from the bottom of their hearts, and the applause was neat and enthusiastic.

Zen master saw it in his eyes and smiled in his heart. In fact, everyone couldn't see that he had other things to announce, but for the sake of the unity of all, he held back his smile and simply said, "Arenas He just signed a contract, so he won't be playing in the evening game, but the team has too many injuries, so he will still appear on the active list, and everyone else will be in their positions. It's time to start and go to training immediately. Go to Staples on time at 4 p.m. Nets."

"Yes!" The players immediately practiced in groups, rehearsing tactics such as pick-and-rolls and fast breaks. They did not take the bus to the Staples Center until 4 p.m., and then made pre-match preparations like before the start of every game .

The Nets, originally the New Jersey Nets, is now a team located in Brooklyn, New York, USA. It belongs to the Atlantic Division in the East. The home court is Barclays Center. The best performance in history is led by Kidd and Carter. In the 2002 and 2003 playoffs, they won the Eastern Championship and reached the finals, but eventually fell under the OK combination.

During the 2012-2013 season, the Nets officially moved to Brooklyn, New York. With the joining of star players such as Joe Johnson and Gerald Wallace during the summer transfer period, as well as the high salary renewal of the head star Deron William James, the team has become a very competitive team in the Eastern Conference.

Since the start of the game, 8 wins and 2 losses, the record in the Eastern Conference is second only to the Heat with James, Wade and Bosh.

Therefore, Joe Johnson, Lopez and other generals have publicly stated that "the goal of this season is to compete for the championship". Their strength should not be underestimated. game.

Before the start of the game, the host introduced the starting lineups of the two teams. The first is the visiting team Nets. The five starters are Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, Gerald Wallace, Humphries and Lopez.In the end, the home team players played. The Lakers started with Chu Xiao, Kobe Bryant, Artest, Gasol and Jordan Hill.

Chu Xiao took off his coat on the sidelines, and then went to the technical stage to apply some chalk. When he looked up, he saw Shen Hu, a high school classmate sitting in the second row who had been smiling at him and making faces.

"You, why are you here?" Chu Xiao was inexplicably surprised.

"I, why can't I come?" Shen Hu deliberately imitated him.

"No, I mean you actually came to see me play, haha." Chu Xiao laughed.

"That's right, brother, I will do what I say." Shen Hu was wearing a black coat today and a baseball cap with the letter "LA" printed on it. There are two beauties sitting on the left and right sides.

"I heard that you disappeared for no reason in the last game, are you okay?" He asked with concern.

"It's okay, I've dealt with some personal matters." Chu Xiao felt that it was inconvenient to talk here, so he covered it up vaguely.

"It's fine! Brother, I just bought a house in Beverly Hills, and I'll be living there for a while. Come and play when you're free?" Shen Hu sent him an invitation.

"You're so fucking rich!" When mentioning Beverly Hills, Chu Xiao seemed to be irritated, and hurriedly ended the conversation. When he looked up again, he saw Han Xunyi who was sitting in the media booth. He smiled and nodded at him, signaling to himself Everything was OK. When I turned around and went back to the arena, I couldn't help thinking, "My team is short of a publicist, maybe he can recommend one?"
