The world's best combo guard

Chapter 37 [Is USC basketball good]

"Only $3 million in three years?" After hearing this figure, Li Hao also found it difficult to accept. As far as the current league salary is concerned, the 403 rookies in the first round should not have such a low salary, even if he knows that the Lakers are giving The quotation is in line with the current labor contract.

Li Hao frowned. If you exclude various taxes and some payments to the league, it is estimated that the 3 million yuan in the past three years will be less than 400 million yuan in his hands, although he did not have high expectations for salary in his rookie season. , but it's not that bad.

"What do the Lakers mean? Isn't this sending beggars? Los Angeles is a big city. Do they have no money or think I'm worth so much?" Li Hao laughed angrily.

"Probably not at all. Although Kupchak didn't say it clearly, I can hear from his words that the team's salary space is not much. We don't know the specific situation of the Lakers' salary space this season, but it is conceivable. With the OK combination at the same time, their salary space is indeed not sufficient. Besides, as of now, they are still active in the transfer market. They definitely hope to introduce some players. After all, the team's goal in the new season is to compete for the championship. Kupchak and his management must want to spend every penny wisely and try their best to build a stronger championship lineup than last season."

What Yao Zhijun said should be the current situation of the Lakers, but Li Hao doesn't think this is the reason they gave him such a contract.

"Brother Jun, I don't think we can agree to this offer. We must ask them to raise the offer. If we accept such an offer this time, what about the next time? This opening cannot be opened." Concessions, but those that should not be conceded must not be conceded. From another perspective, this is not just a question of how much money he can get.

"That's what I mean too. After reading the quotation contract, I directly expressed my attitude at that time. We will not accept such an offer and ask them to make a new offer," Yao Zhijun said.

"Then what was the reaction of the Lakers?"

"How can there be any reaction? General manager Kupchak still hopes that we can make some sacrifices for the interests of the team. He means that if you can realize your talents after 3 years, the Lakers will give you a new contract. By then The new contract will make up for our current concessions."

Yao Zhijun was laughing at himself as he talked. Kupchak really could say that the new contract will make up for it. This is an obvious verbal check. Besides, can things be explained clearly now after 3 years?Isn't that nonsense? Yao Zhijun felt that he was saving face for Kupchak by not refuting him.

"Brother Jun, continue to talk with them in the next few days. Anyway, we can't accept this contract. We can make concessions for the interests of the team, but there must be a limit. The Lakers can't let me be a rookie for the team. There is no reason in the whole world to make too many concessions." Li Hao patted the back of his head, these troubles are always one after another.

"I will continue to talk with them. The Lakers don't need to treat us as fools. Even if the team has insufficient salary space, this will not affect them to give us a normal offer, because there are special cases for rookies."

Yao Zhijun has studied the current labor-management contract in the past two days. He learned that NBA teams can sign first-round rookies according to the rookie's established salary, even if the final result of the signing makes the team's salary exceed the salary cap.

Half an hour later, Yao Zhijun dragged Li Hao to a residential area surrounded by two-story duplex villas.

"right here"

Yao Zhijun pointed to a two-story duplex in front of him.

"Yes, here it is"

After entering the house, Li Hao was very satisfied. He was very satisfied to live in such a house.

"Take a shower first, I'll prepare you a breakfast, I guess you're hungry now," Yao Zhijun said after moving the suitcase in.

"Not only hungry, but also sleepy." Li Hao remembered what happened to him on the plane. In order to accompany that tall girl, he neither rested nor ate breakfast in the end. "I don't know how that girl is doing." Li Hao The girl's face came to mind.

After Li Hao took a bath and had breakfast, he fell asleep on the bed, and when he woke up, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon.

After tidying up, Li Hao put on his sportswear and set off with Yao Zhijun. They were going to the gym. Li Hao decided to start recovery training this afternoon.

"You rented this car, right? When everything stabilizes after a while, let's buy one directly, which will be more convenient." Li Hao pointed to the car in the garage and said.

Yao Zhijun said that the gym was not far from the apartment, and after only a few minutes, Li Hao and the others appeared in front of the gym.

【YONG】

That's the name of this gym, and it looks great!
After applying for an annual card at the front desk, Li Hao started training, while Yao Zhijun squatted aside to calculate the time for Li Hao.

"Brother Jun, don't you have a fitness idea?"

Although Yao Zhijun's figure does not look bloated, he is not slender either. It can be seen that this guy has eaten KFC, McDonald's and other fried foods in the United States before.

"I used to have a fitness program when I was in college, but it was too much a test of endurance. I gave up within two weeks." Yao Zhijun smiled.

"Brother Jun, you studied at Harvard before. I want to know, compared with those universities in China, is there any difference between well-known foreign universities such as the United States?"

Li Hao didn't go to college, but that doesn't mean he doesn't yearn for college life. He's heard others say that college life is really cool.

"There is no specific standard for this. Generally speaking, American education encourages students to be independent, which will allow students to develop an independent personality earlier, but this kind of education is not without flaws. At least from the perspective of hard work, domestic The students do better." Li Haobai gave Yao Zhijun a look, it was the same as if he didn't say what he said.

"Brother Jun, I heard that there is a USC in Los Angeles. Have you heard of this school?" Li Hao suddenly remembered that the girl he met on the plane went to USC.

"Of course I've heard that, like Harvard University, USC is also a well-known university. You know that there are many ancient private universities in the United States, and USC is one of them."

"So what about USC's basketball? Is it the same as Harvard University, unbelievably strong?" Li Hao laughed. He knew that no NBA player has come from Harvard University so far.

"Fuck your sister!" Yao Zhijun kicked Li Hao's ass.

　The feeling of despair, forget it, let it be, pounce and pounce...
