Chapter 103

"6 million in 4000 years, Li, you must listen to me this time..." Bruce Baker was a little excited.

“不管你是6年4000万还是6年5万，我说了只签3年。”李海当时就很是不爽。

He has told Bruce Baker many times that he must do things according to his requirements. Unexpectedly, this guy lost his sense when he heard about the long-term contract, and according to this requirement, he should not call him at this time.

"Li, you need to know that a long-term contract is the guarantee. Don't be arrogant..."

"Bruce, can you handle it, or I go back to New York, and you can go to other things."

Li Hai hung up the phone involuntarily, after all he had to sign the contract.

He doesn't like this Bruce Baker's work. Maybe he wants to contact other agents. There is no doubt that Bruce Baker is interested in the 4000 million long-term contract commission, which obviously makes him focus on other aspects.

Li Hai cared more about sneaker advertisements than the contract extension with the Knicks. In fact, he was approached by the team for an agent contract in the middle of the season, but he was not satisfied with the conditions at that time. Bruce Baker persuaded him several times but was rejected. He strongly refused.

Now that he has won the Rookie of the Year and has shown the potential to become a superstar in the playoffs, he can get the sneaker contract this summer.

A long-term contract is very important to many players, but Li Hai has a higher pursuit. He wants to get a maximum salary at the right time, not just a matter of money, but also a player's appearance.

There was no way for him in his first season. Now that he is famous, he will not be bound by a long contract, which is why he needs player options.

After three seasons, he must get the maximum salary, and he has that confidence.

When the teammate next to him heard Li Hai's call, he was envious and jealous, and even refused the 4000 million contract, which is simply inhuman.

However, Yao Ming is also talking about renewing his contract with the Houston Rockets in advance, which is said to be a maximum salary. This can't help but make the young players in the team dream about it, wishing to participate in the NBA draft right away, and then be selected to earn dollars.

After Li Hai lost his temper, the matter of contract renewal was quickly settled, and he only had to sign when he returned to New York.

3 million in 1800 years, the third year is a player option, Li Hai is hot now, the Knicks will definitely meet his request.

At the beginning of September, Li Hai went to Doha, the capital of Qatar, with the team.

The trip to Doha is also the main goal of the national team this summer, the 23rd Asian Men's Basketball Championship.

The final 12-man roster for the national team is: Li Hai, Sun Yue, Liu Wei, Wang Shipeng, Zhang Jinsong, Zhu Fangyu, Li Nan, Yi Jianlian, Mo Ke, Du Feng, Tang Zhengdong, Yao Ming.

Not long ago, the Chinese team won the Stankovic Cup, but because none of the opponents sent the first team over, the Chinese team's championship is considered to be a lot of water.

The South Korean team boasted before the game, claiming that they have the experience of beating the Chinese team, and they don't care how many people on the Chinese team have played in the NBA. They have special weapons in the Republic of Korea.

The Iranian team also made a high-profile statement that they are one of the strongest teams in Asia. Their "twin towers" Jabel at 2 meters and Haddadi at 23 meters can completely limit Yao Ming.

The host Qatar has naturalized four black buddies, intending to take advantage of the home court to keep the championship in West Asia.

In addition, Lebanon and Syria have also naturalized players. Generally speaking, West Asia has indeed become stronger.

The RB men's basketball team, which has been somewhat declining these years, is also sitting on the dream of revival of the empire, clamoring for opportunities.

Li Hai sneered at these countries, even if they said something, he had to beat them submissively on the court.

In Group A where the Chinese team is located, the other three teams are Iran, Uzbekistan and Chinese Taipei.

In the first game of the Chinese team, they played against the Iranian basketball upstart in Asia.

In the previous match of the National Youth Team, Yi Jianlian and Tang Zhengdong were abused by the Iranian twin towers. In addition, the Iranian team's offensive power from the outside is stronger than that from the inside. It is normal to want to challenge the Chinese team.

On September 9th, in the opening game of the Men's Basketball Asian Championships, the Chinese team played against the Iranian team.

The Iranian team, which had been clamoring for a long time before the game, did not send the twin towers, but played a big and four small, and played a tight defense.

The Chinese team has a high level inside. Yao Ming partnered with Yi Jianlian. This time the Chinese team has a younger lineup. The outsiders are Li Hai, Liu Wei and Zhu Fangyu. The captain Li Nan is injured and is still on the bench.

At the beginning of the game, the Chinese team handed the ball directly to Yao Ming. In front of Yao Ming, Jabel seemed to have a rough technique, but Yao Ming easily swayed past him and made a strong attack.

Then the Chinese team ran into some troubles. The Iranian team's extraordinarily fierce defense made the Chinese team's players a little edgy. Only players like Li Hai and Yao Ming who have experienced high-intensity NBA games can calm down.

Seeing that there was a problem with Liu Wei's organization and the Iranian team seized the opportunity to take the lead, Li Hai was not polite, and directly assumed the task of organizing, and asked Liu Wei for the ball after halftime.

Yao Ming had just recovered from his injury, and he didn't want Yao Ming to stay on the court and fight hard to defeat the opponent.

Seeing him take the ball, Aydin of the Iranian team rushed over fiercely. Li Hai was not afraid at all, and passed the opponent with one step after the physical confrontation, facing Jabel was a dunk. Jabel's foul was against him. doesn't work at all.

2+1, Li Hai showed an unparalleled momentum when he started to attack.

But his offense today is not mainly about hitting the basket. Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian are inside. Li Hai is expressing his toughness, putting pressure on the opponent and encouraging his teammates at the same time.

Then he hit a three-pointer, and then assisted Zhu Fangyu to make a three-pointer. Now the Iranian team's defense panicked. Li Hai's drive created a lot of space inside. A nice alley-oop was completed under the pass.

The inside and outside are complementary. Li Hai is on the outside, and the Iranian team dare not shrink at will. Yao Ming is inside, and they dare not fully expand their defense.

At this time, Li Hai finally felt that he had a good insider, which was really refreshing.

If the Knicks get a good insider, it will definitely be very cool.

With Li Hai and Yao Ming, two players who can't defend without flanking, other players got a lot of open opportunities and their condition is getting better and better, especially Zhu Fangyu and Li Nan, who showed superb shooting skills.

At the end of the first quarter, Li Hai hit the buzzer and the score was fixed at 25:15.

He and Yao Ming perfectly interpreted what constitutes an NBA-level player. The Iran team could only swallow the clamor before the game at this time.

But this is not enough, Li Hai's goal is to make Yao Ming clock out of get off work early, and then he will completely destroy the Iranian team's defense.
