Nba: Five Big Moves At The Start

"Hey, Derek?!"

"Qin Rui?!"

"Yes, you haven't signed the contract with the Cavaliers, right?!"

"Of course, I've been waiting for news from you.

"Then get ready and come and sign. Congratulations. You are about to receive an annual salary of 5 million a year and become a member of the Lakers. I hope your arrival will make the Lakers better.

"Really? I got a ball and that was great! Thank you, Doc!"

"You're welcome!"

Toot toot.

Qin Rui hung up the phone.

On the other end of the phone, Ross looked calm.

After experiencing countless twists and turns, being able to return to the game is already a very good thing for Rose, and he undoubtedly prefers the Lakers to the Cavaliers.

certainly.

This is not because of the higher price of $5 million.

Qin Rui was injured, and the Lakers' winning streak stopped at 30 consecutive games, stopping the winning streak at second in history.

but.......

Injury is an injury, and the regular season will continue as usual.

182 days later.

Smoothie King Center Arena.

The Lakers challenge the Pelicans away.

However, before the game started, the news on the Internet that Qin Rui officially signed a contract with Adidas caused a sensation.

First, fans don’t know what kind of contract Qin Rui signed with Adidas.

Second, compared to Adidas, Qin Rui signed with Nike, which has a bigger name, which was the initial thought of fans.

Qin Rui does not meet the above two points. In other words, in the eyes of fans, Qin Rui just signed an endorsement contract with Adidas, and it stands to reason that it cannot cause a sensation.

However.

The real sensation was not that Qin Rui signed a contract with Adidas, but... the news that Qin Rui rejected Nike's nine-year, 300 million offer.

As soon as this news came out, the fans exploded, especially when they knew that Qin Rui, who was as strong as Durant but could only sign with Nike for 300 million yuan in 10 years, rejected the offer of 300 million yuan in 5 years.

"???"

"What kind of aircraft are you looking for? Qin Rui doesn't want 300 million for five years? Don't want the price that's twice as high as Durant? Go to Adidas, which has a relatively small market?!"

"That's not the point, okay."

"That is, the key point of the question is, what kind of offer did Adidas give Qin Rui to make Qin Rui give up the terrifying offer of 300 million yuan over five years and sign with Adidas!"

"Yes, what a terrifying number exactly?!"

"400 million in five years? 500 million in five years? Or more?!"

"Hiss! Don't think about it, don't think about it!"

"So...how much did Adi give Qin Rui?!"

"Don't ask, just ask...it's awesome!"

"Haha, with a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan, you are joking about other people's annual salary of tens of millions."

"Eh...envy has torn me apart!"

11

As soon as the news was released, there were endless speculations, making fans so envious that they couldn't help themselves.

His eyes returned to the stadium and the game that was about to begin.

Qin Rui still didn't play in this battle.

Although he was not seriously injured, Coach Walton, who was extremely cautious and had to be cautious, did not allow the slightest accident to happen to Qin Rui.

He must be given a few more games off.

then.…………

The Lakers without Qin Rui faced the Pelicans, who are fourth in the Western Conference, alone.

This battle.

The entire Lakers team fought bloody hard and persisted until the last 5 minutes of the third quarter before finally collapsing. In the end, the Pelicans easily won the game at home.

After the game.

The reporter asked Anthony Davis, one of the core members of the Pelicans: "Tonight you defeated the Lakers who won 30 consecutive games this season. What do you think?!"

"idea?!"

Davis raised his thick eyebrows and said calmly: "I have no idea. I think this is normal. It is normal to win against the Lakers without Qin Rui."

"This is not the Lakers I want to face."

"I hope Qin Rui can fully recover soon and return to the court. I think...if I can beat the Lakers by then, I will be very happy."

……….…

2 days later.

The Lakers faced off against the Timberwolves, once again facing the mighty Western Conference without Qin Rui. The Lakers still held on to the last quarter, leading by 4 points in the last 5 minutes.

have no choice.

crucial moment.

The core of the Timberwolves is still more ambitious. Towns dunked under the basket and connected with the previous block. Butler counterattacked in the frontcourt and chased for a score.

Then he faced the defense and scored another 3-pointer.

Back and forth.

The Timberwolves chased for 8 points in a row and reversed the game.

The Lakers lost to the Timberwolves and lost the game again.

Another 2 days later.

The Lakers played at home against the Rockets, the No. 1 team in the Western Conference, and the result spoke for itself. The Lakers lost once again, losing 4 consecutive games. This was after the Lakers' 10 consecutive losses at the beginning of the season.

Longest losing streak.

After the game.

Rear studio.

O'Neal showed a look of regret: "The Lakers can't do it without Qin Rui. The overall strength has dropped too much and they have suffered four consecutive defeats."

"Shaque, what you said is a bit hasty."

Buckley retorted.

O'Neill touched his head and said: "Charles, what do you mean?!"

Barkley smiled and said: "Actually, there's nothing wrong with what you said, but... beating him to death with a stick doesn't show enough respect for the Lakers."

393 "You know, the Lakers have faced three powerful teams in the Western Conference, the Pelicans, Timberwolves and Rockets in the last three games."

"At the beginning of the season, it was not easy to be able to survive three quarters without being beaten, but now, we have persisted until the last quarter, and there was even hope of winning the game."

"It's a pity that the key ball handling ability is lacking."

"But it must be admitted that the current Lakers have grown somewhat. These young players are improving at an extremely fast speed and are quickly adapting to the NBA stage.

"Too."

O'Neal smiled and nodded, saying: "The Lakers players have done a great job. In addition...the Lakers' opponents in the next two games are the Thunder and Pelicans respectively."

"In the home game against the Pelicans, Qin Rui will officially return. I look forward to Qin Rui returning from injury and continuing to shine in the game."

The next day.

The results of the third round of All-Star voting are out.

Qin Rui still wins the vote, there is no doubt about this.

However, I originally thought that Qin Rui, who was injured and temporarily disappeared from the game, would lose popularity. Although he would not be overtaken by the number of votes, he would definitely be much closer to Curry, LeBlanc and others.

Who knows.

Not only that, but the gap is getting bigger and bigger.

???

Why?!.
