Superstar Athletes’ Black Tech Systems

Time passed quickly. After Li Liang signed with the Kings in mid-August, the free market was in full swing, and big contracts were dropped as if they were free of money. A group of lucky players and agents were fattened.

The Kings won Li Liang for 100 million, which is a bloody profit.

Look at other teams.

The Grizzlies signed Chandler Parsons for four years and $98.5 million.

Al Horford, 113 million in 4 years.

Hassan Whiteside, 98 million in 4 years.

Drummond, 130 million in 5 years.

Leon Anderson, 80 million in 4 years.

In comparison, Li Liang's contract is so cost-effective that the king's management and the boss are all laughing.

Not only that, the arrival of Li Liang really made Rondo change his mind and want to continue to cooperate with the Kings.

As a result, Rondo accepted the Kings' 4-year 25 million full mid-level contract.

In terms of money, Rondo must be at a loss.

The Bulls offered a two-year contract with an amount of more than 20 million yuan.

And the 16-year mid-level contract is calculated based on the average salary of the entire league last season.

Therefore, if Rondo signs another contract next year and uses the middle class, the average annual contract can approach 10 million.

Now, he can only get a contract with an annual salary of more than 6 million, which can be said to have lost a lot.

However, for a player with a high spirit like Rondo, victory is often more important than money.

After all, the starting point was very high, and no one was convinced in my heart. In addition, Cousins ​​and Li Liang were both juniors from Kentucky, so the emotional points increased a lot.

And the King is willing to give a long-term contract, which is also very important for players.

Due to Rondo's personality and injuries, many teams are afraid to sign Rondo's contract for more than 2 years.

Playing and working in one place with peace of mind is what most players pursue. After all, there is life besides basketball.

A nomadic people like Li Liang, the Xiongnu Shanyu, is really a wonderful thing among strange things.

In addition to Rondo, the Kings have two very cost-effective signings.

One is to use the last space of the team to sign Eric Gordon for 48 million in four years.

The King's rival is the Rockets.

The contract price given by the Rockets is higher, 53 million in four years, 5 million more than the King's contract.

However, after weighing, Gordon still chose to sign with the Kings.

The reason is simple, because with Li Liang, the Kings have the hope of winning the championship.

Gordon is still willing to give up 5 million for the championship.

Moreover, Gordon has been plagued by injuries in the previous few seasons.

According to rumors within the league, playing with Li Liang is good for his health.

I don't know how this rumor came out.

But in the four years, the players around Li Liang, except for the rupture of the Achilles tendon in the first year of the Kobe Finals, the others really didn't get injured much.

Maybe this is the real chosen one, and the radiance of health shrouds all around.

After Rondo and Gordon successfully signed the contract, Li Liang also donated the bruise pill without hesitation, added it to his usual drink, and let Rondo and Gordon drink it.

As a result, the two had crazy diarrhea the next day.

The hero couldn't stand the three bubbles, and he couldn't get out of bed for two days.

The two backcourt signings of Gordon and Rondo should be said to be very critical and important.

The price-performance ratio of these two contracts is quite high.

Although Rondo and Gordon are not top stars and basically missed the All-Stars, they are very strong.

He is the typical player whose strength is greater than fame.

Moreover, both of them have excellent offense and defense, and they are both players who can fight tough battles in the playoffs. It can be said that they are two very good signings.

As far as the king is concerned, without Li Liang as the bait, they would not be able to take down either of these two men.

And Li Liang's attraction doesn't stop there.

After supplementing the outside line, Divac also strengthened the inside line.

In September, the Kings announced the signing of veteran David West with a veteran's basic salary.

After West followed the Spurs last season and returned without success in the playoffs, he decided to follow Li Liang!

In this way, Cousins' replacement problem has been resolved.

In mid-September, when the training camp was about to start, the Kings signed Li Liang's old classmate, Terrence Jones.

This is a friendship contract.

After Jones ended his rookie contract with the Rockets, he only got one offer contract. The Rockets have no interest in this soft power forward.

And Li Liang hopes to add another Kentucky member, by the way, to add to the end of the team's bench.

Ever since, Terrence Jones, who used to let Li Liang act as a substitute, carry bags, and hand towels in college, has completely become Li Liang's younger brother.

It's really one time and another time, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi.

Terrence Jones is very happy to be able to play with so many Kentucky classmates.

Moreover, it is actually not easy for every ordinary player to have a contract and continue to survive in this league.

In this case, in October, the training camp of the Kings will start.

A new king with Li Liang, Rondo, Cousins, Gordon, and Gay as the skeleton was born in a short period of time.

To be honest, this lineup is not much better than the Pacers of the year.

If there is any point of improvement, it is Li Liang's strength, which is stronger than two years ago.

And it's much stronger.

...

On October 3, the day before the opening of the Kings training camp, the league held a press conference to announce a new rule to the outside world.

The new regulations are the addition of new clauses to the 2011 edition of the collective bargaining agreement.

The outline of the new clause is: "A player who has won any of the honors of MVP, FMVP, and the best first team in the previous season is not allowed to sign the contract for the next year at a price significantly lower than the market price. amount, sign a contract with less than a three-year team option."

To put it bluntly, this strange clause was specially formulated by the alliance to deal with Li Liang and Li Liang's imitators.

After all, Li Liang's actions over the past few years have seriously disrupted the NBA player market.

The sluggishness of the free market this year is a case in point.

Originally, when the market opened in July, the trading market should be booming.

But it is because everyone knows that there is someone like Li Liang who obviously does not conform to the laws of the market, and there are goods that can be earned when you sign in, so everyone is waiting for the price.

If it weren't for the sharp increase in the salary cap this year and the teams are busy filling the gap, the player market might be even more bleak.

Now, Li Liang has finally settled down and signed a 4-year contract.

However, in order to prevent problems before they happen, the league introduced this clause specifically for Li Liang, which was later called the "Bruce-Lee Clause".

This strange clause is completely against the freedom of the market, because in the past, no one would go to the pole to sign a small contract with a short period of time after winning major honors such as MVP, which completely violates the laws of the market and human nature.

So much so that more than a year later, the new president of the United States, a real estate tycoon who knew everything, called him "the undercover agent who came from a socialist country and disrupted our free market."

This "Bruce-Lee" clause affects not only Li Liang alone, but also makes other stars who want to learn from Li Liang and repeatedly jump left and right lose the opportunity.

As for ordinary players, it is impossible for anyone to refuse to sign a long-term contract.

Now the team balance of the entire league has been seriously damaged.

After James joined the Warriors and Li Liang stayed in the West, the entire East was in a power vacuum.

None can beat.

This year, the league will host the All-Star Game, and the lineup in the Eastern Conference must be extremely shabby.

Unless there will be some big trades in the season, let the Eastern Conference's star lineup be enriched.

Moreover, the spiritual and cultural influence brought by Li Liang is also huge.

In the past, regarding the issue of "team loyalty", fans mostly stood from the perspective of the team and spoke for the team.

After all, this league is a league composed of 30 bosses who pay for it. No matter how powerful the stars are, they are still employees in essence.

All the publicity is biased towards the team.

This phenomenon lasted for decades, until James decided 1 that there was a big discussion.

James was almost blackened into carbon at that time, and the media in the United States and overseas unanimously criticized James.

Many people said, "James has nothing to do with being number one in history."

Whether James has anything to do with the number one in history depends more on his performance on the court and the number of championships. It is not absolutely related to which team he goes to and who he plays with.

Jordan stayed in the Bulls not because he was loyal to the team. In fact, he hated the Bulls management.

On the one hand, he stayed in the Bulls because he loves the city of Chicago and the fans here. People have feelings, but it is love rather than loyalty.

On the other hand, it is also out of his personal considerations. The Bulls have excellent teammates, excellent coaches, a accustomed working environment, and the highest salary. Why doesn't he stay?

When he paid for the second time, he didn't go to the Bulls, but to the Wizards. Is it disloyal?

When James made Decision 2, the opposition was much quieter.

And when he decided on 3, there were no voices of dissent.

The reason is very simple. Someone in front smashed the word "loyalty" and crushed it by stepping on the ground.

You are a business alliance, why are you talking about loyalty and disloyalty?

For the NBA, any cultural phenomenon is not the same thing as long as fans don't take it seriously.

When fans saw the thrill of "disloyalty" in Bruce Lee, they began to hope that the league would change a little bit every year.

Nowadays, many team managers are trembling and trying to build a good relationship with the top star on the team.

Otherwise, they will really follow suit. Leonard is the best example.

It is said that the Rockets have started to have a headache this year and want to renew their contract with James Harden in advance.

Because this summer, they didn't get anything except one Leon Anderson.

He also smashed a maximum salary contract with two years left in his hand, Dwight Howard.

This Warcraft, which Morey wanted so hard to get, has become the number one big garbage contract because of injuries and changes in the league trend.

The scary thing is that the signed Anderson is still foreseeable, and it will be a big garbage contract in the future.

It's really hard to say how much patience James Harden can leave for Houston.

After all, the eldest brother and the second brother have already fulfilled their dream of being a champion, and he is still far away.
