"Chen Yu, if you still stay in Los Angeles, as long as we still have time, we can do a lot of things together, and I will use up all your family tickets every year! I watch you play every day, and when you score, I shout louder than anyone else, and when you're done, I'll be waiting for you outside, and I can drive you home...... You can also come and see me on the set and bring me something to eat. We can also watch many, many movies together, go to a lot of places together, and let all your friends know me, and then my friends know you, as we do today......"

Elizabeth's words were wistful.

Chen Yu's smile gradually climbed up the corners of his mouth.

He hugged Elizabeth: "Suddenly I feel that life is incomparably beautiful!" ”

…… Time is ticking.

Soon, Chen Yu also completed a meeting with the Lakers executives.

For Chen Yu's request, the Lakers also felt incredible......

Chen Yu didn't sign a long-term contract, in fact, they themselves were a little puzzled, and they also hoped to try their best to get Chen Yu to sign a long-term contract.

Under normal circumstances, unless it is a superstar, or a player with low salary and high value potential, otherwise, the general team still does not want players to sign long-term contracts, but Chen Yu happens to be a player with unlimited potential with a suitable salary, so the Lakers hope that his contract can be signed for a longer time.

They have been fighting for Chen Yu now, and they also hope to let him stay, but this does not mean that they are completely relieved of him.

In fact, everyone is still a little worried about Chen Yu's hidden injuries.

If you can sign for a few years, of course, people suffer from gains and losses like this, and they are also worried that Chen Yu will get better and better, but because they did not talk about compromise at this time, they regret it for life.

Therefore, the Lakers are also negotiating with Chen Yu and them, and at the same time, they also put out the bargaining chip of bird rights: roughly speaking, if Chen Yu can sign a three-year contract, the Lakers will be able to have his bird rights, and Chen Yu will have the ability to renew the contract with a maximum salary.

But even so, Chen Yu still made Bill Duffy refuse.

So, after several rounds of negotiations, the two sides finally settled on the amount of the contract.

Because Chen Yu only signed for one year, his contract guarantee amount is $10 million, and there is another $3 million as a reward amount: if the Lakers can enter the playoffs, Chen Yu can get the $3 million reward if he attends more than 50 games in the regular season, and if he only does one of them, he can only get the $1.5 million reward.

In addition, Chen Yu also took a step: next year, the Lakers have Chen Yu's right of first refusal, that is, when Chen Yu becomes a free agent, the Lakers can participate in other teams' bidding for Chen Yu, as long as the salary is not lower than other teams, then Chen Yu must complete the signing with the Lakers.

That's how it works...... Chen Yu's salary has skyrocketed, directly from one or two million to more than 10 million!

This year, the salaries of players in the league are far from exploding, and more than 10 million US dollars is almost an All-Star level salary, and Chen Yu is very satisfied with this contract.

In this way, there is not much problem with the funding source for him to improve his tolerance for the third time, and this salary is already the third in the Lakers, behind Kobe Gasol, and it is also a lot of money in the league.

Whether it is in terms of face or lining, such a salary makes Chen Yu feel good.

…… A few days later, Chen Yu and the Lakers officially signed a new contract, which had been exposed by the famous reporter OJ before it was officially signed, which immediately caused an uproar.

The offseason is called the long grass period again, because everyone can't see the game, there is nothing to do, almost every day they compare various stars, repeatedly take out and watch and study and analyze the past games, and if there is any news in the offseason, everyone will immediately chase and comment.

And Chen Yu's signing of a new contract with the Lakers immediately caused several controversial points:

Is the Lakers going to pay a huge luxury tax for Chen Yu? Don't they still have Nash? What are you going to do about it now?

Then, the Lakers actually signed a second-round pick with such a high salary, didn't this disrupt the market? What did Lillard, last year's Rookie of the Year, think? What do you think about the other round shows? Will the owners of other teams in the league jump out against it? Like the dismantling of Kobe and Paul back then, let the Lakers feel helpless again?

Then, the Lakers are now signing Chen Yu with such a high salary, do they plan to bet on Chen Yu in the future? But in the next time, Kobe Bryant will definitely have no way to return to playing, so where will the Lakers go next season?

One problem after another, many different solutions, anyway, in everyone's eyes, this matter has now become the NBA's most noteworthy thing recently.

During this time, after seeking Chen Yu's consent, the Lakers finally started a special press conference in Los Angeles, which was mainly about the signing of Chen Yu, and Chen Yu also chose to participate.

At this time, everyone knows that the signing of the Lakers and Chen Yu has been officially completed, and there is no suspense.

Everyone also saw the final contract details of this signing.

Although they also saw the place of the reward, they soon found that the reward was actually not high, even after deducting the reward, Chen Yu still had more than 10 million guarantee contracts, this contract number was really staggering!

All kinds of questions, in fact, are waiting for this press conference.

In the face of many questions from everyone, in fact, it can be summed up in the previous questions.

The Lakers officials who participated in this press conference were particularly categorical:

"All the processes we made to sign Chen Yu were legal and in line with the various regulations of the alliance, and we don't think there was anything wrong with our signing process!"

This is an answer to the question of breaking the rules.

"We shouldn't measure a player in terms of first-round picks, second-round picks, we don't think it's fair, Chan had a fantastic season and he deserves a big contract! So we're ready! ”

This is to answer the question that everyone thinks that Chen Yu should not sign with so much money.

"We're going to go to the playoffs and we're still going to be aiming for the championship! I think Chen will be an important piece of the puzzle on our way to winning the championship! ”

This is to answer the question of how the Lakers will use Chen Yu after that.

After answering the three questions, it sounds full of confidence, but in fact it is beyond reproach.
