At the end of August, Li Liang was going to return to the United States, and if he stayed at home any longer, he would be disgusted to death.

Li Liang doesn't have any friends in China, although many directors and producers contact him, hoping that he will make movies, commercials or something, and invite him to participate in many evenings and programs. A star of his magnitude, participating in any movie or show, the traffic brought is huge.

If he participates, if nothing else, the economic benefits will definitely not be low.

It's a pity that Li Liang is not interested in money, to be honest, that endorsement fee is not worth mentioning at all in front of the real industry and stock capital.

For him, it's just a little pocket money, and he shows up to watch a show for others for a little pocket money? Not necessarily.

When I was playing, I was already tired of being on the court every day, and I was still at home in the offseason to improve myself.

Of course, Li Liang is not without social activities, he went to Shanghai in July to attend the opening ceremony of a youth basketball training camp hosted by Yao Ming.

Boss Yao's face still has to be given, his arrival has made the opening ceremony extremely hot, and in terms of domestic influence, Li Liang has obviously surpassed Yao Ming. Now the people hope that Li Liang will join the national team, and the call to play in the 2016 Olympic Games is getting louder and louder, and in the training camp, Yao Ming also mentioned to Li Liang whether he is ready to join the Chinese men's national basketball team next year.

Li Liang's answer is still the same as a year ago, "When did you become the president of the Basketball Association, when will I come to play in the national team." ”

This is a gentleman's agreement between the two, and with Li Liang's promise, Yao Ming will probably be much easier and faster to sit on the chairman's position.

Just when Li Liang was about to return to the United States, in the past two months, the trading market has already made a lot of moves.

On August 25, in the West, the Spurs acquired Aldridge, the big fish in this year's free market, through repeated lobbying and the attraction of their own roster.

In this way, the Spurs have gone one Germany and another Germany, and at the same time have Wiggins and Booker, two young players full of potential, and the old GDP has also been reduced in salary, so it can be said that the Spurs have operated and continued to maintain the status of a strong team, and also have a future.

The Lakers, who got Leonard, after repeatedly contacting Li Liang to no avail, have been going more and more smoothly on the road of Plan B, and slowly forgot about Li Liang.

On August 26, the day after the Spurs successfully signed Aldridge, the Lakers traded Nick Young, Carlos Boozer, Larry Nance and two future second-round picks from the Timberwolves for Kevin Love.

Like Leonard, Love also gave up the opportunity to sign a five-year salary cap in the parent team, adopted a sign-and-trade approach, renewed his contract for 4 years and 80 million, and then was traded to the Lakers.

The Lakers operated two consecutive tricks, which was equivalent to forcibly clearing the space when there was no salary space, and then forcibly ate two top-salary players, which made the league protest for a while.

In the new collective bargaining agreement in 2012, in order to prevent the big team from signing first and then exchanging to rob the stars of the small team when there is no salary space, the provision that the first sign and then the first exchange can also be signed can also be signed to the maximum salary, and for a time the transaction method of signing first and then changing is almost extinct in the league.

Now, if teams want to rob stars, they must either clear their own space and wait for the star contract to expire to vote, and the stars they rely on will suffer financial losses; Either during the contract period, they bleed themselves and exchanged high-quality assets for high-quality assets.

As in the past, when the star contract expired, the parent team was worried that the star would leave nothing behind, so they simply signed first and then exchanged for some assets, which was better than nothing, and with the implementation of the new agreement, it became much less.

As a result, this time the Lakers got two at once, Love and Leonard both lost tens of millions of dollars in vain, just to play for the Lakers, of course the other teams have to protest, do you have any PY deals in private?

And the explanation given by the Lakers is also very simple, "Most players in the league want the Lakers to play, and they have been Lakers fans since childhood. ”

What you love and I want is really incomprehensible.

And the reason why Love is willing to go to the Lakers is also very simple, he wants to win a championship.

The Timberwolves started a rebuild with the No. 1 Towns, and they don't need Love anymore.

And Lefu thought of a city that could win the championship and have a higher exposure rate, and the Los Angeles Lakers were really the best choice.

So he'd rather give up more than $20 million in earnings to play with the Lakers.

After the completion of this transaction, people exclaimed that this was a "robbery", which was the same as the 08 and 12 year deals, could it be that the Grizzlies, Timberwolves, and Magic teams were the trumpets of the Lakers?

The Lakers' rhetoric of lying on the crown is once again in the dust.

Then, on August 27, Li Liang took a plane back to the United States, landing in Los Angeles.

……

The plane arrived at Los Angeles International Airport, and when she got off the plane, a flight attendant squeezed in front of Li Liang and quietly took out a postcard and asked Li Liang to sign it, she said that she was a fan of Li Liang.

This is a very beautiful Chinese girl, and the Chinese flight attendants on international flights are all very good-looking, unlike American Airlines, which is full of aunts and flight attendants.

Li Liang nodded and signed the postcard with a photo of Li Liang playing, and the postcard was still a photo of Li Liang during his time with the Lakers.

After signing his name, he returned the pen and postcard to the flight attendant, but a note was stuffed in his hand, and the flight attendant winked at him and left to do her own thing.

Li Liang unfolded the note and looked at it, it was a string of phone numbers, it seemed that she was not just a fan.

Li Liang is not very interested in in-depth communication with fans, he still prefers in-depth communication with the system.

After getting off the plane, Li Liang crumpled the note and threw it into the trash.

Then, there were countless reporters, long guns and short guns aimed at him, and the media in Los Angeles had already heard from the airline that Bruce Lee would be arriving on a flight today, so they were all waiting early.

Li Liang is different from many NBA superstars, like Kobe Bryant and James, they will bring a large number of people when they go out.

Family, friends, bodyguards, agents, assistants, and more...... Li Liang is different, he doesn't like too many people to follow behind his ass and hug left and right, he feels like a soil emperor, he likes to carry a bag alone, although there are occasionally some safety problems, but it is not a big problem, after all, he is loved by everyone in the United States.

The reporters clicked and clicked to take pictures, and then stared at Li Liang and asked which team they were going to go to in the new season.

Even if they knew that Li Liang could not say it at the airport, the reporters still had to ask, what if he said that he had leaked his mouth?

Li Liang really said that he missed his mouth and replied: "I won't come to the team in Los Angeles." ”

Gotta ask, just ask Los Angeles.

Because it was summer, Li Liang was wearing a simple white T-shirt, and soon a reporter found that Li Liang looked stronger than in the past, and he was much stronger, his arms were thicker, and his short sleeves were propped up.

It was easy to deal with these reporters, and Li Liang met Wei Dazhi in the parking lot.

Wei Dazhi's first reaction after seeing Li Liang, "Which team are you going to?" The second reaction, "Why are you fat?" ”

"Can you be more professional? Lao Tzu has become stronger, why do TM say that I am fat? Li Liang said, showing off his biceps at Wei Dazhi.

Wei Dazhi pinched it, and found that it was indeed strong, and felt a little incredible, "You went home for a vacation, not for special training, right?" What did your grandmother feed you? ”

Li Liang was still a little embarrassed when he asked this, because he did eat too much in his hometown, and in order to cope with the consumption in the task, he ate more than the whole family.

"You don't care what I'm eating, drive quickly, I'll stay in Los Angeles for a day, and I'll go to Indiana tomorrow."

Li Liang came to Los Angeles to meet Zhu Shu, and to have dinner with old friends.

"Then you, have you made a decision?"

"Nonsense, done."

"Can you tell me about that?"

"A good-looking team."
