"What do you mean? Not satisfied with my plan? Zhou Zhiru frowned. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"No, for now, these plans are not bad, but." Tang Qian said, and suddenly paused: "What if the Lakers sign an extremely athletic interior player?" None of these assumptions are valid. "Did you get some rumors? Who are the Lakers signing? Zhou Zhiru's reaction was not slow, and she opened her mouth to ask.

"There are some rumors, but they are not necessarily accurate." Of course, Tang Qian couldn't tell the truth, so he could only say this.

"How athletic is it? What kind of bench player is it? According to Zhou Zhiru's homework, there are no "bandit" level inside fish in the free agent market this summer, so Tang Qian's words made her a little confused. "Very strong! Even considering the comprehensive application and play, it is much stronger than me! Tang Qian's words are true, although he just fights for physical fitness, Tang Qian will not be afraid of him, but in the United States, physical fitness is good. The sea of people is forced to go, and I still can't play professional basketball. Because you don't just have to have physical fitness, but also look at how much performance you can play on the basis of this physical fitness.

As far as the current situation is concerned, Tang Qian's physical use is far inferior to that person.

Reality isn't about playing 2K, and it's not like you can get everything done with a bunker body, unless you're Captain America or Hulk.

"This year's free agent market? Is there such a bench player? Zhou Zhiru listened to Tang Qian's words, but she still couldn't believe it.

"Bench players?" Tang Qian smiled and said, "He's not a bench player." ”

"So, you have to revise the contract details, otherwise you will have a stalemate with the team in the first round of negotiations, which is not a good thing." Zhou Zhiru frowned after listening to Tang Qian's words, but she finally chose to trust: "Okay, I'll revise it again, and I'll come to you with a new plan in two days, that's it, I'll go first." ”

Zhou Zhiru seemed to have entered this kind of role very quickly, and her growth was so fast that Tang Qian was shocked.

Did something happen during this time? Tang Qian thought about it in his heart and decided to take some time to ask Zhou Zhiru well.

Just when Tang Qian was frantically training, one ordinary morning, a bombshell appeared.

"The Son of the Wind has decided to join the Lakers, welcome! Welcome to Los Angeles! —Los Angeles Times.

"Steve. Nash joins the bitter enemy Lakers, Phoenix fans say they can't accept it! - Bleachers.

"The last fight of the 96 golden generation! Kobe Bryant + Nash! This year's Lakers team is full of highlights! - Laker Nation.

"Phoenix is not sincere enough, and there are no plans for high salaries in the four meetings! Nash's agent confides in the insider! —The Phoenix Newspaper.

"The last 48 hours! The Lakers succeeded in disrupting the game! 5 teams returned in vain! —The New York Times.

"I'm so excited to be joining this great team in Los Angeles! Steve. Nash said he was looking forward to working with Black Mamba! - T.N.T. official website.

The appearance of this news made the fans of the Los Angeles Lakers boil, I thought that the Lakers would have no results and no action this summer, but I didn't expect to suddenly make such a big move.

ESPN immediately upgraded the Lakers' offseason management operation and raised the rating from the original D+ to the B+ level. This shows that the effectiveness of this deal has surprised fans across the United States.

Mickey. Kupchak sat in his office and watched all this, sipping coffee and smiling at the corners of his mouth: "This is surprising? Hehe, the best is yet to come! Wait with your eyes wide open! I'll let the whole of America see me Mickey. Kupchak's abilities! ”

……

"Are you Tang Qian's agent? You're young, ma'am. "Mickey. Kupchak looked at Zhou Zhiru and looked up and down.

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Kupchak, but let's get straight to the point." Zhou Zhiru sat down upright, and then looked at Mickey. Kupchak Road. "okay~okay~ Of course, let's get started." Mickey. Kupchak nodded.

"Given that my employer contract has expired, we would like to submit a new contract extension." Zhou Zhiru said seriously: "I know that the Lakers have the right to choose and match first, which also saves me a lot of trouble. ”

"This is our plan for a new contract, Mitch. Mr. Kupchak, you can take a look. Zhou Zhiru pushed the prepared contract plan to Mickey. Kupchak's in front of him. Mickey. Kupchak looked at it for a moment, then smiled and said, "Beautiful lady, isn't the asking price of this contract unreasonable?" $4.5 million a year? You should know the salary situation of our team, the salary cap is not good to sign this contract. ”

Well, the Lakers' total salary for the 2011-2012 season was $88.24 million, while the league's salary cap for the 2011-2012 season was $58 million, and the Lakers have already exceeded that threshold by any measure. So what kind of salary cap, I don't think Mr. Kupchak needs to say, because this excuse is really bad enough. "Oh? Looks like the lady did her homework well. "Mickey. Kupchak looked at Zhou Zhiru and understood that this young female agent was not a pure white, so he also put away his contempt and began to negotiate seriously: "What the lady said is not wrong with these figures, but as a team agent, it is naturally one of my job responsibilities to save money for the boss." In addition, although the total salary of the Lakers last season has long exceeded the threshold of the league's luxury tax, you must also forget that the luxury tax is not unlimited, it is only 55% of the league's total annual income, and our Lakers have many stars and a large proportion of personal salary, and it is really not a wise move to spend 4.5 million out. ”

Mickey. Kupchak is indeed a veteran negotiator of the alliance. By West's side, he learned a lot of negotiation skills and negotiation methods, and it was not ordinary difficulty to wrestle with him. But now that she is here today, Zhou Zhiru is ready to grind her mouth, she said unhurriedly: "That's right, sir, but the Lakers are now from the apex of the luxury tax, so there is still a long way to go, and I don't think there is the slightest problem with eating Tang Qian within this distance." ”

Mickey. Kupchak smiled and replied: "That was last season's salary total, this season, it's very different. I think the lady should also know that our Lakers brought in Hall of Fame player Steve. Nash, 27 million for 3 years, and some incentive funds, once activated, will directly occupy more than 30 million US dollars in salary space, so the available space for the team is actually not abundant. "Well, the Lakers did come up with a big operation, first of all, I want to fully credit Mr. Kupchak's ability to operate, but Mr. Kupchak's calculation method is not accurate, is it?" Zhou Zhiru calmly replied: "Mr. only emphasized 27 million US dollars or 30 million US dollars for 3 years, but in fact, the total salary of the team should be looked at separately from year to year, right?" That counts, Steve. Nash's annual salary occupation is $8.9 million, which is less than 10 million, which is actually nothing for the Lakers, and there is a lot of salary space to operate, right, Mr. Kupchak? ”

"Oh, no, no, no, beautiful lady, your algorithm is not right." Mickey. Kupchak said: "You're only counting the Lakers' existing salary space, but the offseason isn't over, is it? There is still the possibility of a big operation in our team, so the salary space that seems to be good will not be enough immediately. "Big operation?" Zhou Zhiru frowned and said, "I don't know Mickey. What other big business is Mr. Kupchak ready to do? Bringing in a sixth person? Or the main players? ”

"haha~" Mickey. Kupchak suddenly smiled mysteriously: "The sixth man? Main? Ma'am, maybe I'm bringing in an All-Star or a superstar? "What?" Zhou Zhiru was slightly startled when she heard this, she had thought of dozens of meeting scenes before, but this one, she didn't expect. In her opinion, the Lakers have gotten a Steve in the offseason. Nash, this is definitely a textbook operation with a score of 90, and it should be unlikely that there will be any more big moves. But Mickey. Kupchak's words made her feel a little bad in her heart.

Suddenly, she thought about Tang Qian's words that day, was it really possible......

"All-Star players? Sir, are you serious? It's not funny to make boundless jokes at this time. Zhou Zhiru stabilized her mind and asked. maybe~"Mickey. Kupchak shrugged his shoulders and replied without a straight face: "In the world of sports, anything is possible, isn't it?" As long as the offseason isn't over, any changes, that's possible. ”

Mickey. Kupchak's move can be regarded as Jerry. West's true biography was passed on to Jerry back then. When West was the general manager, he paid attention to "deep concealment", and never easily confided any operational information until the last moment. Because in the NBA league, where rumors and news are flying, if you are not careful, the cooked duck can fly away, not to mention a "normal transaction"? In order to avoid unexpected factors to the greatest extent, strict confidentiality has become a must.

The tighter the tone, the smoother things sometimes work.

After all, in the league, there are not a few historical times that have played "cutting off beards".

It is also necessary for Kupchak to be so cautious.

This offseason, he held back a big move and urgently needed to show it.

If you want to become the new "godfather" of the Lakers, you must get this operation done, otherwise you will overpower Jerry. West, that's still a long way off. Mickey. Kupchak is a very ambitious general manager, so he is confident in his operation.

An understatement of "maybe" has changed the momentum of this negotiation. Kupchak could feel that the other party's heart began to shake slightly.

"Well, even if you can really succeed with Mr. Kupchak, then how can Tang Qian, as the block king and second-defense owner of the 2011-2012 season, deserve a $4.5 million contract, right? For the Lakers, Tang Qian's athleticism is an indispensable part of the interior line, sir, you have no reason to give up! "Faced with Zhou Zhiru's question, Mickey. Kupchak said calmly: "China may be worthy of a $4.5 million contract, but it is not indispensable for the future of our Lakers. ”

"What?" Zhou Zhiru immediately chased and said: "The Lakers' interior line, with Gasol and Bynum, is very strong, but both of them are not very good in athleticism, last season's playoffs against the young Thunder, I believe Mr. Kupchak saw it." If it weren't for my employer's outstanding performance, it would have been a matter of two things whether the Lakers would have survived Game 7, and you can say that he would not have been able to complement the Lakers' interior line? ”

"I don't deny the role of hot in the playoffs last season, but hot is not irreplaceable, if the Lakers have a super athletic interior player in the future, the role of hot will be greatly reduced, which is an indisputable fact. Therefore, I think Ms. Zhou's contract plan is not appropriate, and it is better to revise it before negotiating. When Zhou Zhiru heard this, she finally became a little angry, and she looked directly at Mickey. Kupchak said: "Mr. Kupchak, you are always 'future' and 'future', what is the difference between this and talking without evidence? Don't you think it's funny to prevaricate me with such a low-level excuse? ”

"Oh, beautiful lady of the East, don't be angry." Mickey. Kupchak said: "I just think that the 'future' is very close, so I told you this, otherwise I can't honestly consider this condition you proposed, but now, I can only say that it is a pity." ”

"What? What do you mean? Could it be that you can still get an interior player of Howard's level with empty gloves White Wolves? Otherwise, if you say this to me, it is clear that there is no sincerity in renewing the contract! I deeply doubt your attitude towards work! Zhou Zhiru is indeed angry, because this kind of boundless words, no matter how you listen to it, she is shirking and deliberately making things difficult for herself, she doesn't believe that in this year's free market, there are substitute centers that surpass Tang Qian. As for Mickey. Kupchak said that "all-stars" said "future", she did not believe it at all.

Is All-Star so easy to poach? Are other teams really stupid?

Zhou Zhiru's gloom fell on Mickey. In Kupchak's eyes, he only felt pity, because to be honest, this young "rookie agent" has good ability and is very well prepared, and under normal circumstances, he has to grind with the other party for a while. But this season, it can only be said that she and China Ran were unlucky and bumped into their "god operation".

"Howard level?" Mickey. Kupchak smiled brightly, opened his mouth and replied: "Why is it impossible? (To be continued.) )
