Kings of the Game: Getting Back to the Game, Beginning with the NBA

Chapter 65 Alternative Partial Guarantee Contracts

at the same time.

On the road to Hamad International Airport, Liu Ming, who was sleeping in the back of the business car, woke up leisurely.

He looked up and saw it was pitch black outside the car window, and asked, "Sister, haven't you arrived at the airport yet? Can you catch up?"

After the end of the Yatian race, fatigue hit quickly.

Liu Ming obviously felt like his whole body was falling apart, but he couldn't sleep because of his high spirits.

In the end, there was no other way, so he had to spend 4 more free skill points to upgrade the 【Physical King】from level [-] to level [-].

After the skill is upgraded, the utilization efficiency of physical strength is +2, the recovery efficiency is +4, and the recovery efficiency is +1.

The effect is remarkable!

At least Liu Ming fell into a deep sleep in a very short time.

And the price was that after he fell asleep, no matter how much Xu Si yelled, he couldn't wake him up!
The direct flight from Doha to Los Angeles departed at 1 am, and it was already past 11 am when Liu Ming was woken up, so the two of them packed up and rushed to the airport immediately.

"Uh, it's not there yet." Xu Si, who was sitting in the front row of him, looked at his phone and said, "Hurry up, the plane is taking off at 1:1 in the morning. This master is driving very fast, so he should be in time."

Liu Ming yawned in a daze, and said, "Oh, then I'll sleep for a while."

"Hey, don't sleep yet," Xu Si's delicate face leaned over from the back of the seat, and said, "Hey, hold on, we'll be there in a while."

"In case you fall asleep again, I can't lift you up."

"Besides, there's something urgent that I need to tell you quickly."

As she said that, she opened her notebook, pointed at the content with the tip of her pen, and said, "In the moment you slept just now, five more teams in the league contacted me, asking if you want to change teams to play."

Liu Ming was taken aback, and asked, "Ah? Why?"

Xu Si explained: "Some teams value your outside talent on the court, and some teams value your reputation and fan base."

"After the Yatian competition, you are now a shining star."

"Signing you is equivalent to signing the hot fan market in Asia."

While speaking, the corners of Xu Si's mouth turned up slightly, and he said triumphantly: "Ming'er, you are now a favorite no matter in the country or in the alliance, do you know that?"

"Wait for the media reports to ferment for a while, I'm afraid your popularity in Asia will soon reach the national level!"

Liu Ming blinked, feeling both happy and inexplicably complicated.

The king of Yatian is back!
Getting out of the circle again?

Like two years ago, did you attract the attention of league teams because of your running?

These goddamn capitalists have really keen sense of smell.

Xu Si ignored his reaction, looked at the content in the notebook, and continued on his own: "Well, let me tell you about the chips offered to you by a few teams."

"Let's not talk about the Pelicans and the Hornets. A team is underperforming and typically can't be moved; a star is slightly insufficient and has no core for many years."

"The most ideal is the Clippers, with a fully guaranteed contract of $4 million for four years. The Clippers are currently ranked second in the Western Conference. Leonard and Paojiao are the favorites to win the championship."

"The most embarrassing is the Knicks, with a fully guaranteed contract of 4 million US dollars for 3500 years and can be negotiated again, but the performance of this team has always been relatively vague, but New York is a good place."

"You now have two options."

"One is to contact the Knicks to see what price they can offer in the end."

"Secondly, use these teams to poach you to negotiate terms with the Clippers, and see if they can raise your contract."

Xu Si bit the cap of his pen, frowned, and said, "Well... each has its own advantages and disadvantages. The Knicks' flaw is that they are too balanced, and they don't have any strong points, so they need a real star player. You may become an absolute core player after you go there for a year or two."

"The Clippers' dual-core is the right time. Obviously, the management has high hopes for the future of the team, but there are too many stars, and I'm afraid I won't mention them to you."

"..."

Xu Sixu babbled and analyzed for a long time, then turned around and asked, "Do you prefer the Clippers or the Knicks?"

"This matter is a little urgent, and I may have to start working when I go back."

Liu Ming glanced at Xu Si in confusion.

After a while, he said, "Why should I consider these two companies? Didn't I already agree to stay with the Lakers?"

Xu Si choked when he heard the words, and patiently explained to him: "The situation is different now than before."

"It turns out that you are a hidden gem, and only the Lakers are willing to give you a chance."

"Now that you have proven yourself in the two games, and with the advantage of Asia's No. [-] flying man, you will definitely be popular. Of course, you have to make a new choice according to the current situation."

Liu Ming was silent for a long while, then propped himself up and slowly sat up from the back seat, and said, "But, I have already promised the boss, and I have also agreed with Pelinka."

Xu Si curled his lips helplessly, and continued to persuade: "You don't have to have scruples. Good birds choose trees to live in. This is human nature. Pelinka is a businessman, and businessmen value profits and..."

"Sister," Liu Ming interrupted Xu Si in a rare way, and said, "I've already promised the Lakers."

"You agreed verbally, but the contract hasn't been signed yet, and the contract the Lakers gave you is still a partially guaranteed contract, and the liquidated damages are so high." Xu Si scratched his head speechlessly, and said, "You don't have to think about these things, I can settle them for you, and I promise not to offend the Lakers."

"I'm not afraid of offending them." Liu Ming sat up straight and said seriously, "I promised them, I'm going."

"This is my principle."

"You don't need to analyze other teams for me anymore, I refuse."

Xu Si stared at the serious-looking young man in front of him, and was taken aback for a moment.

Suddenly a little overwhelmed.

In the past two years, the two have been together day and night, although they have never made their relationship clear.

But Xu Si knew Liu Ming's clothes size, work and rest habits, food taste and so on.

But thinking about it now...

It seemed that he never knew what kind of person Liu Ming was.

All she knew before was that Liu Ming's parents died when he was a child, and he was picked up from the orphanage by his mentor Qian Lao, and then he concentrated on training sprints.

On the surface, he is very talkative, but in his bones, he is a little stubborn.

But until today, Xu Si didn't feel like he really knew him.

——Because you promised the Lakers, you must go?
What kind of person would make such a decision without hesitation?
"...Well, you're right." After a long while, Xu Si lowered his head, put the cap on the pen in his hand, and said, "Since you agreed to the Lakers first, then go to the Lakers."

As she spoke, she tore off the paper recording the teams just now with a "hiss", looked up at Liu Ming, and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, my sister made a mistake."

Xu Si didn't want to talk to Liu Ming about the "rules of life for adults".

This big boy's heart is too clean.

It was as clean as a vast expanse of snow on the top of a mountain, so dazzlingly white and radiant that Xu Si was reluctant to step on it.

Such a clean mind may bring him countless troubles in the future.

However, Xu Si would rather he just stay clean for the rest of his life.

Compared with those white-eyed wolves who are never cooked, how lucky is he to meet such a partner, such a soul mate?
"Uh, don't tell me." Liu Ming felt a little embarrassed when he saw Xu Si's apology so solemnly, and immediately restrained his tough attitude just now, and said, "I am more optimistic about the Lakers winning the championship."

"Moreover, although the Lakers only gave a partial guarantee contract, the team gave me the greatest freedom. When there are international track and field competitions or the national team has training camps, I can leave the team at any time."

"As for where to earn more money, to be honest, I'm not very interested in money..."

When he said this, even Liu Ming himself blushed a little.

He is not interested in money, but his desire for skill points is still very strong.

But there is no way to tell Xu Siming about this.

Xu Si gave him a charming look, nodded "approvingly", and said, "That's right."

"As a Dongguo track and field athlete, you really can't use 'personal interests' as the starting point for which team to go to."

After saying these words, Liu Ming's face became a little uneasy, "Sister, do you know what it means to be difficult?"
