Crazy NBA, the coach begged me to restrain myself a little bit

Training is over.

Lin Sen received a call from Yang Yi, saying that he had good news to tell him face to face.

For this, Lin Sen naturally wanted to attend the appointment.

Because the previous agent brought him to the Lakers, he unilaterally terminated the contract and ran away.

Therefore, in the United States, Lin Sen really has no friends.

A lot of the time, except for games and in the practice arena, he is alone.

It still seemed a little lonely and desolate.

And now after signing the contract with Yang Yi, he already regards Yang Yi as his friend.

after all.

The feeling of blood connection between Longxia people and Longxia people is still very different.

After half an hour.

Lin Sen appeared in the Chinese restaurant he often went to.

And there, Yang Yi was already waiting.

"Teacher Yang, do you have any good news to tell me?" Lin Sen walked over with a smile and asked straight to the point.

"You're talking about Mr. Yang. I'm embarrassed to call you that. Why don't you call me Lao Yang, so that I can listen more comfortably."

Yang Yi motioned Lin Sen to sit down, and said.

"Okay, Teacher Yang, no, Old Yang."

"It's almost there."

Yang Yi smiled, pushed his glasses immediately, and continued, "There are two pieces of good news, which one do you want to hear?"

"It's all good news, what do you want me to ask?" Lin Sen rolled his eyes.

"Hahaha, you kid's thinking is quite sensitive, and this didn't trick you."

Yang Yi is happy.

He was visibly in a good mood.

"What kind of good news is that? Don't tell me any more." Lin Sen urged.

"The first good news is that I found the villa for you. The total price is 278 million US dollars. I have brought all the materials. If you find it suitable, you can directly sign and decide to buy it!"

"Well, what about the second one?"

"The second good news is that the Lakers are willing to renew your contract with the No. [-] pick."

"How much is that?"

"About $4 million in four years."

"Uh... just over 1000 million a year, isn't that good news?"

Lin Sen shook his head.

Although this contract is indeed very high for a rookie who has just entered the league.

After all, they can match the salary of the No. [-] pick.

And the No. 1 pick is the No. [-] among rookies in the world!

But for Lin Sen, who has already played well and won the best player for two consecutive weeks, it is indeed not worthy of his worth.

You know, he didn't enter the league relying on his draft pick.

He's just an undrafted pick.

As for the undrafted picks, the NBA does not stipulate that the team's salary cannot be higher than how much.

Everything depends on the player's own value in the market!

Therefore, such a situation will appear, even if you only have a salary of [-] in the first year.

But if you play it out, even if you get the maximum salary in the second year, it is also possible.

Of course, the premise is that you are worth the money, and the team is willing to give you the money.

"Based on your current performance, it's really not good news to get such a contract. However, the Lakers' statement like this at least proves that they value you."

Yang Yi nodded, and then continued to ask: "What do you think about your salary, or what are your plans for the future? You can tell me now."

"Well, in terms of salary, I prefer the second-maximum salary. As for future plans, I haven't thought about leaving the Lakers." Lin Sen replied.

Now he has just adjusted to the life of the Lakers. If he is allowed to leave now, he is really reluctant.

Moreover.

Los Angeles, where the Lakers are located, is itself a metropolis in the United States.

Many stars or high-ranking rookies can't even come to them.

How could he think of leaving voluntarily without any conflicts with his teammates and the management?

"Well, I also support you staying with the Lakers. After all, there will be no lack of exposure here, and you will grow faster by James' side."

Yang Yi nodded lightly.

But when he changed the subject, he said again:

"But for the second maximum salary, the average annual salary is more than 3000 million. Although you perform well, it is still not easy to get this renewal salary before the playoffs. Besides, the Lakers do not have so many There's cap space."

"Then what should I do? You can't let me not even get the maximum salary?" Lin Sen asked back.

He knows that the NBA league is a business league.

Protecting your own interests is the most important thing.

Blindly giving in and being humble will only make people think you are easy to bully!

"If you must get more than the maximum salary, there is only one way to go." Yang Yi pondered for a while, and then said with a serious face.

"What way?" Lin Sen asked back.

"Prove yourself in the playoffs! Make other teams desperate, even want to get a maximum salary to sign you freely!"

"However, there are also risks. In case, I say in case, if you get injured or don't play well in the playoffs, then you may not even get 5000 million for four years."

"Now if you want me to help you negotiate, it's still no problem when it comes to four years and seventy-eight million. It depends on what you think and how you make your choice."

heard.

Lin Sen shook his head, and said firmly, "Let's not talk about it now, let's talk about it after the playoffs."

"You have to think about it clearly. The intensity of the playoffs is different from the regular season. You may suffer from greater and more targeted defense. My suggestion is..."

"No need to suggest, I have confidence in myself, let's wait until the end of the playoffs."

Lin Sen interrupted Yang Yi's words with a smile.

He knows that the other party is for his own good.

If he is not a time traveler.

If he doesn't own the system.

Then he will definitely accept the other party's suggestion and sign a four-year, seventy-eight million contract first.

In this league, it is true that the big contracts are in their own hands first.

Everything else is fake.

Because there are too many injuries and uncontrollable factors.

No one can guarantee that they will not be injured in the next second.

After finally playing out my own value, first sign a contract that can make my life worry-free, this is the best strategy.

If you risk the basic salary in order to get that 2000 million more, it is definitely not worth the candle, and a foolish behavior!

In the eyes of outsiders, Lin Sen's choice is full of risks.

But as a traverser and with the double buff of the system, he really wasn't worried at all.

Injuried?I have healing pills!

The status is not working?I have sultanas!

Low shooting percentage?I have cards!

and so.

When Linsen has all these things, does he still need to worry about his performance in the playoffs?

No need!

Totally unnecessary!

He has let the Lakers pick up cheaply for a year, how can he continue to let him pick up for another four years?

The second maximum salary is already the lowest bottom line.

Where can I not earn less than this salary?

"Okay. Anyway, you don't have to worry about the endorsement contract. Even if you don't get a big contract, nothing will happen."

Seeing Lin Sen's firm attitude, Yang Yi couldn't say anything more.

In fact, it is true, as Long Xia's only seedling, Lin Sen already possesses unique conditions and confidence.

Behind him, there is a whole country's market.

under such a huge market.

In addition to the endorsement of sports equipment, any one can easily exceed 500 million US dollars.

There is no financial pressure at all.

This is not like those players who grew up in the United States, such as Cousins, Oladipo and others.

Due to fierce competition, the endorsement products and contracts they can get are actually very limited.

Under such circumstances, the salary of playing ball naturally becomes the bulk of their income.

This is also the main reason why they have been struggling to pursue big contracts.

Therefore, although it is difficult for Long Xia's players to enter the NBA.

But once you really enter, even if it's just a rotation or marginal player, you will earn more than those black starters in the United States.

"By the way, do you have any photos of the villa you mentioned?" Lin Sen asked again as if remembering something.

"Yes, in this tablet, you can see it when you open it. They are all shot in real scene without any modification."

Yang Yi took out a tablet from his briefcase, and handed it to Lin Sen.

at the same time.

The delicacies that have been ordered a long time ago are also being served one after another at this time.

"Why don't you watch it after dinner?" Yang Yi suggested.

"No, I can watch while eating, it doesn't matter."

As he spoke, Lin Sen picked up the chopsticks while looking at the tablet in his hand.

have to say.

The house is really delicious, oh no, the dishes are really big.

10 minutes later.

Lin Sen finished viewing this villa.

One word, praise.

Two words, great.

Three words, very good.

After eating.

Lin Sen decisively signed the contract to purchase the property, and directly transferred the down payment to the designated account.

After the property rights and related procedures are completed and you can move in.

The other party will pay the subsequent final payment together.

After a pleasant dinner with Yang Yi.

Lin Sen returned to his apartment.

And get ready for tomorrow's game against the Clippers.
