Superstar Tyreke

Chapter 62
Although Tyreke entered the offseason, except for a vacation, he polished himself in the training hall afterwards. Although Tyreke did not express any attitude on the possible suspension of the league, the negotiations between the labor and management still affect him. nerves.

In Tyreke's memory, in the 11-12 season, due to the last negotiation between the employer and the employer while the current labor agreement was still in effect, there were still huge differences, and no agreement could be reached, and the league officially entered a suspension.

Today, this lockout still seems unavoidable. After several rounds of negotiations, both employers and employees are still unable to reach any consensus, and the current labor-management agreement is about to expire, and the lockout is about to happen.

Finally, on July 2011, 7, the current labor-management agreement expired, and there were still huge differences between the labor and management on major issues such as the hard salary cap system and the distribution of benefits, and the league was officially suspended.

During the lockout period, NBA players will not receive salaries, and NBA teams cannot negotiate with players, nor can they sign and trade players.

At the same time, players cannot use the team's training facilities for any reason, and the team cannot hold any summer training camps, exhibitions, team meetings, and coaches' gatherings.

In addition, NBA team websites can no longer use the image of players, and players can no longer be used as representatives of publicity.

Tyreke knew in his heart that the lockout would go on as he remembered it. Although the lockout was unavoidable, it would eventually pass and the labor and management would reach an agreement. In the end, the 11-12 season would be a shortened season. .

Unlike some players, Tyreke can't see the end of the lockout. He knows what will happen in the end, so he is not worried about the lockout. The lockout gives him more training time so that he can continue targeted training.

So although the league has been officially shut down, Tyreke did not start planning his way out like other players. Some planned to go abroad to play for money, and some began to accept commercials and take photos. Tyreke still continued to devote himself to the training hall. .

Two days after the league was officially shut down, Tyreek's agent, Ian Tem, and his second brother, Reggie, came to the Tyreek Basketball Training Center to find Tyreek.

At this time, Tyreke and Lamont Peterson were training for three-step shooting on the field. Tyreke was already sweating profusely. Seeing the two people coming in, Tyreke did not stop his training. Also standing on the sidelines watching Tyreke's training, Tyreke continued to throw more than 300 balls before stopping.

"Okay, Lamont, let's rest for a while..." Tyreke walked towards the two people on the sidelines.

"Not bad, Tyreke, your hit rate is good. Although the posture is still the same as before... It's a bit strange, but such high-intensity training is still somewhat effective. The actual combat performance should be much better than before..." The second brother Reggie nodded appreciatively.

"Haha, it's okay, I'm in a good state..." Tyreke walked to the sidelines and sat on the bench, wiped his sweat with a towel, and gulped down the sports drink.

The two sat down beside Tyreke, and Ian Tem said, "Terek, now that the alliance is suspended, do you have any plans?"

Terek smiled nonchalantly, "Continue training..."

Seeing Tyreek's attitude so casual, Tem couldn't help saying seriously: "Terreke, the end of the lockout is far away now, although your current financial situation is good, even if you don't receive the team's salary, it doesn't have much impact, but No one knows when labor and management will be able to negotiate, and you just practice until the lockout is over? If there is no result, you just stay in training?"

Tyreke put down the sports drink in his hand and responded: "I guess the lockout will last for a few months, let's practice first, I feel that my state is very good now..."

The second brother Reggie couldn't help but anxiously said: "How do you know how long the lockout will last? We have to plan, you can't just train like this!"

Lamont Peterson, who was analyzing Tyreke's current training results today, heard the conversation between the three and walked up to them and said, "Terreke, I think what your second brother said makes sense. Training is a long-term process. In the process, the suspension means that the league has no ball to play, and besides personal training, we should indeed do something to deal with the suspension..."

Peterson went on to say: "I heard that many free agents have begun to contact overseas league teams. It is estimated that a group of players will go to overseas leagues to make money or maintain competitive status."

Tem waved his hand and said: "Those who plan to play abroad are basically free agents. I don't know when the lockout will end. Once the lockout is over, the players who are under contract need to return to their home team. This makes it difficult for players who still have contracts. Maybe go abroad to play..."

The second brother Reggie, who was sitting next to Tyreke, put his arms around Tyreke and said, "Terreke, I discussed it with Ain, since we don't know when the lockout will end, and you can't train alone Actual combat, we think you can participate in streetball games, although the salary is not much, but this will allow you to adapt to the rhythm of the game earlier, which is more practical than going overseas to play..."

The second brother Reggie threw out this proposal, and Tem went on to say: "Tyreke, during this lockout, there should be many famous players who will go to play streetball to maintain their form. If you have the same idea, I will I will contact you to arrange which streetball games you will participate in, and at that time, you will also be able to play against other stars in actual combat in advance. Although the intensity is not as high as that of NBA games, you can also see the results of your training this offseason."

After the two finished talking, they looked at Terek from left to right. Terek thought for a while and stood up, "Okay, you two don't stare at me like that, it's not a bad idea to play streetball. , close to amateur and semi-professional basketball fans, it can be regarded as a publicity for themselves. Okay, I agree, Ain, you can arrange the specific matters. It is also a good choice to play against other stars on the street court. I I also want to see the results of my hard training..."

Hearing what Tyreke said, the two also stood up, and Tem replied: "Okay, no problem, Converse will organize a streetball game in Sacramento recently, let's use this game to practice first..."

"Okay, call when the time comes."

"Well, let's go first, Tyreke, you can continue training."

After that, the two left the training hall.

"Come on, Lamont, let's continue." Watching the two leave, Tyreke called Peterson to continue training.

Streetball game... It doesn't matter if you look for the game status, Tyreke already has the pleasure of looking forward to galloping freely on the street court...
