NBA: A three-point experience card at the beginning

Wang Yi’s agent Luo Lin asked Wang Yi:

"Although the contract offered by the Lakers is good. But based on your performance in these games, there must be a team that will give you a higher offer. I just received information that the Clippers are interested in you. And they are currently in the right position.

There is 8 million in salary space. Do you think we should wait a little longer?"

Wang Yi shook his head and said:

"No need to wait."

In fact, he has also thought about his career plan these days.

First: The Lakers currently lack 3D players the most.

Although Wang Yi does not position himself as a 3D player, he has greater ambitions.

But the attribute he has shown so far is that he is a high-quality 3D player.

So he can get more playing opportunities here.

With opportunities to play, you will have more possibilities.

Second: James has played in the league for nearly 20 seasons, and the experience he has is a valuable asset.

By his side, I can learn a lot.

Third: James is now 38 years old and is about to retire.

After I learned those things from him, he almost retired.

As long as you perform well enough, the Lakers will be your team.

There's enough exposure here.

You know, high enough exposure equals enough money.

Who can have trouble with money?

After considering many factors, Wang Yi decided to stay with the Lakers.

Luo Lin on the other end of the phone has actually done a lot of considerations and data analysis, and feels that for the current Wang Yi, staying with the Lakers is the best choice.

After hearing Wang Yi's answer, she didn't have to waste much time talking.

"Wang Yi, then tomorrow morning I will bring the contract to Portland with the staff of the Lakers' operations department, and we will sign the contract in person."

Wang Yi nodded: "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Yi leaned on the back of the bus seat.

Finally, I no longer have to live a tight life.

Previously, Wang Yi was fed up with the life of having to be careful about everything he did.

With this money, he can hire a personal trainer, a personal nutritionist, and a personal doctor.

He can buy a car for transportation.

Of course, I won’t consider buying a house for now.

From an ordinary person's point of view, 5 million US dollars is indeed a lot.

But you must know that nearly 40% of personal tax is deducted from the salary of NBA players.

The Lakers are in California and have to withhold about 13% state tax.

Also give the broker 4%.

What I got in the end was only around US$2 million.

It also costs a lot of money to hire a personal trainer, nutritionist, doctor, etc.

So I can’t consider buying a house yet.

He plans to rent an apartment not far from the training facility after returning to Los Angeles.

Work harder this season, earn your dues, and sign a multi-million dollar contract next season.

Then I will think about buying a house, a car or an RV.

James saw Wang Yi let out a sigh of relief and guessed what was going on.

said:

"Wang, congratulations! We can fight side by side this season until the end of the season!"

Wang Yi showed a tired smile and said:

"I look forward to us continuing to fight side by side."

James smiled and said: "Until the day you retire?"

James has often said the word "retirement" this season.

Wang Yi could see that he was tired.

Based on the Lakers' record this season, coupled with the Lakers' personnel structure, there is basically no hope of competing for the championship this season.

For James, who has played for nearly 20 seasons, without the hope of competing for a championship, there is no motivation.

The motivation that supports him to continue playing now is the historical scoring leader.

If he can win the heavyweight honor of the historical scoring champion, it will undoubtedly elevate his historical status again.

At the same time, there is another reason that allows him to continue.

That is, he hopes to compete on the same stage as his son Bronny.

His son will participate in the NBA draft next season.

Father and son stand in the highest hall of basketball at the same time and compete on the same stage. This is probably LeBron's most wonderful moment as a father.

An ordinary person would have responded to James emotionally at this point: Brother, I will accompany you until the day you retire.

However, Wang Yi did not.

He just shrugged and said:

"I try my best."

Life is full of variables, and no one knows what will happen tomorrow.

Some players are still warming up before the game starts.

But the next moment I was told: you were traded.

There are also many people who make promises but cannot fulfill them.

In the end, it can only make people laugh.

Even someone as strong as James may have made a promise when he joined the Heat:

I will bring a championship to the South Coast. Not one championship, not two, not three, but...seven!

Didn’t he do it in the end?

Wang Yi is a person who keeps his promises. As long as he makes a promise, he will definitely do it.

Therefore, he will not make promises to others easily for a tomorrow full of variables.

James was a little surprised by Wang Yi's answer.

After thinking about it for a moment, I roughly guessed something.

He also thought of the bold words he made when he joined the Heat.

He couldn't help but laugh at himself and said:

"Then let us be each other's comrades and brothers in this foreseeable season."

This time, Wang Yi did not hesitate.

He nodded and said, "Of course, my brother."

…

At five o'clock the next morning, Wang Yi found a Portland training gym and started training.

There is no competition today, but Wang Yi still received the task given by the system.

[Task 1: 2000 mid-range shot training]

[Task reward: Mid-range shot hit rate increased to 70%]

[Task 2: 1000 times weighted vertical jump training]

[Task reward: Bounce height increased to 100 cm]

Wang Yi did not think about it and directly chose the second task.

He is currently positioned as a 3D player, mainly responsible for shooting three-pointers and defending.

So his 45% three-point shooting rate is enough for the time being.

In a few days, his wrist will fully recover.

It won't be too late to take up shooting duties after he fully recovers.

So he found two elastic bands in the training hall, one end was fixed on his waist, and the other end was fixed on the floor.

Start jumping with all your strength.

He continued to jump with all his strength, and after only twenty minutes, he was sweating profusely.

And my legs were already feeling sleepy.

After another forty minutes of dancing, my legs were already weak.

He walked with difficulty to the bench next to him, his legs softened, and he plopped down and sat down.

After resting for more than ten minutes, taking a few breaths, I got up again and continued training.

Is training hard?

certainly.

Are you tired from training?

nonsense.

But James has such a strong talent and is training so hard. His talent is far inferior to his, so what reason is there for not working hard?

At the same time, in China, "Yu Shuo Sports" has been updated again.

Xu Jingyu flipped through her phone and found several messages from netizens.

"You said Brother Yi can't perform well anymore, what about now?"

"Is it a slap in the face?"

"32 points, 10 rebounds, slap in the face. Do you accept it?"

Xu Jingyu shook her head slightly and took a sip of water.

Put the tea cup aside.

He put his hands on the table and took a deep breath.

said:

"As for being slapped in the face, who hasn't been slapped in the face a few times in his life? Hasn't James been beaten? Hasn't Kobe been beaten? He's as good as Jordan, and he's been slapped in the face. So people will be beaten.

A slap in the face, this is normal."
