Build a Dream Dynasty

"Me?" Jessica was a little surprised to hear Jiang Mingliang's call. Jiang Mingliang actually invited herself to participate in the team's activities?

"See if you can communicate or coordinate. I know that your Korean company has strict management, so I discussed with you in advance. In principle, I may not be able to pay you too much appearance fee. After all, this It's a team activity." Jiang Mingliang said.

I have seen jessica's sports cuts on the show before, and I probably know that she can play table tennis twice, so I thought of her. After all, this sport is really small in the United States. If most people really like sports separated from the net, they would go to play tennis. They can only find it from Asians. If you insist on looking for a Chinese with little influence, you might as well go to Jessica.

"I didn't play very well." Jessica reminded.

"I guess everyone, including me, can't play. We can't rule out the possibility that we need to find post-editing." Jiang Mingliang is not joking, this body is really not very good at table tennis.

Being teased by Jiang Mingliang, Jessica was also happy, "There are not too many problems on the company side. I am worried that there are not enough announcements!"

Just like Jessica and Tiffany had the experience of going to the Dodgers to kick off, the company didn't mention any fees. This is actually to increase the traffic of their combination in the United States.

This matter is settled for the time being. Although basketball is not as popular as baseball in Korea, Girls' Generation is after all aimed at the American market.

The league quickly made a penalty plan for the court conflict between Fernandez and Cole. Fernandez was suspended for two games and fined $50,000, and Norris Cole was suspended for one game and fined $35,000.

How should I put it, in the matter of fighting, Fernandez was more self-defense, but he was too brave after the fight, and it was cruel to hit Cole on the ground. Jiang Mingliang sighed and took the player's ticket.

It's not that Jiang Mingliang will bear all the fines for the players, and it needs to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis.

On Fernandez's side, there is no loss in the wallet, but on Cole's side, it hurts. He was only selected by the Heat in the second round, and his total annual salary is only 800,000 US dollars. The 350 million fine is almost his two weeks' salary, which is quite hurt. Heat team owner Mickey Arison is worth 9.8 billion US dollars, richer than Jiang Shixiao, but he is not as generous as Jiang Mingliang in managing the team. Cole's ticket can only be resolved by himself.

The fine is not a big deal, but Fernandez's three-game suspension really hurt Jiang Mingliang and Stevens quite a bit! In the first game after losing to the Heat, the team went to Indiana to challenge the Pacers. Facing opponents they had defeated before this season, the performance of the Nets in this game was disappointing. For the Pacers, Stephens played at an All-Star level in this game. He was omnipotent in breakthroughs, shots, and assists. He directly took advantage of George, and Box, who was the sixth man of the team, also He shined in the game and proved that when you draw the No. 13 pick and don't know who to choose, you can't go wrong with a shooting guard!

The game between the two sides was intense until the last moment. Granger, who had been performing so-so throughout the game, finally showed his leadership at the last minute. First, he used his running position to get rid of Liggins' defense in the sideline ball tactics, scoring a three-pointer. Then he singled George with the ball and succeeded in a mid-range shot, which finally helped the Pacers beat the Nets 114:109 and continue to be in the Eastern Conference playoffs.

But for the Nets, it's not all bad news. After missing 7 games, Leonard's finger injury has recovered quite well, and it looks like he will be able to play soon.

When Leonard returns, the Nets' lineup will return to their original positions, and they can finally welcome the next season with the strongest lineup.

"Mr. Jiang, did you call me?" Brook Lopez knocked on the door and came in with a little apprehension on his face, but also a hint of expectation.

Jiang Mingliang asked him to come in, and Lopez probably knew something about what he wanted to talk about.

Lopez's rookie contract has entered the final year. This summer, he will become a restricted free agent to accept the test of the market! Of course, if you don't want to become a free agent, you can only hope to get the renewal contract from the Nets in advance.

Lopez has been with the Nets for three and a half years. He has a certain affection for this team and this city, especially now that the team's record is booming, and they will even move to New York in the future. Everything made him very satisfied, and he was very willing to sign a contract extension with the team and give his future to the team.

Now, Jiang Mingliang called him into the office alone, and what he was going to discuss must be about the contract.

"Brook, this season is over, and your contract is about to expire." Jiang Mingliang looked at Lopez, "The coach has already talked to me, and I hope you can renew your contract with the team. We need you."

As soon as Jiang Mingliang said this, Lopez's heart immediately settled down.

"Mr. Jiang, from the beginning of my career, I have been playing for the Nets. I am willing to stay on the team and continue to play for this team." Lopez made it clear.

"In this regard, we have reached an agreement with each other. The next step is the amount of the contract." Jiang Mingliang said calmly.

Feelings belong to feelings, and contracts belong to contracts. At this time, it must be in business!

In terms of seniority, contribution, and combined with the abundant salary space of the Nets at this stage, it seems natural to give Lopez a big contract. Even if it is not a full five-year contract of 80 million, it must be at least 4 years of more than 60 million contract. But the problem is that Lopez's strength does not actually match this number. For comparison, Jordan just signed a 4-year 43 million contract in November last year. Horford got a 5-year 60 million contract extension in 2010, and Ibaka will also set a 4-year contract this summer. With an annual contract of 48 million, the salaries of these inside players are all between 11 million and 12 million. Looking at it this way, giving Lopez a contract with an average annual salary of more than 15 million is a little bit of a premium.

"About the amount of the contract, I need to discuss it with my agent." Lopez immediately understood what Jiang Mingliang meant. Jiang Mingliang just didn't want to give a maximum salary.

Of course, Lopez also has an estimate of his own value. And in terms of supply and demand, big men are still the treasure of every team.

"Of course, professionals can give you the most suitable advice. Brook, I hope you understand that the team is very sincere in reaching a contract extension with you. This matter will be a key follow-up project for me in the future Jiang Mingliang reminded with a smile, "Whether it's the coach, me or your teammates, I hope you will continue to stay on the team and lead them."
