Chapter Seventy-Six: It's Kobe
When the Lakers players arrived in the locker room, they were still muttering "80 million" in their hearts, and even Kobe Bryant and Zen Master's expressions were a little unnatural, a number far more than they expected.
Zhao Dashao forgot that it is only 2008, and even if he gets this contract in 2018, it will be the top ten contracts in the league.
"Okay, the game is going to start in a while, and if we don't want to lose two in a row, let's focus on the games that will be played later."
The Zen master reminded the players on his lips, but he lamented in his heart: "My lifetime salary doesn't add up to 80 million, why wasn't I born forty years late?" ”
Zhao Dashao doesn't think it's more than 80 million, not only because he is really not bad for the 80 million, but also because he knows that the salary of players in the whole league will make a big leap forward ten years later, and the maximum salary at that time will exceed 40 million per minute, and the funny thing is that there are still many Chinese fans who are worried that the players are making too little.
After the Lakers players came out, Zhao Dashao always felt that someone was staring at him, and after scanning around, he found that there was more than one person, and the happy beast and Nelson over there were all staring at him with a pair of red eyes.
He immediately thought of the reason, which should be a jealous gaze.
He guessed right, Magic point guard Jamil Nelson had his peak season this year, but no manufacturer was willing to give him a contract even for hundreds of thousands.
Howard is even more painful, he, the All-Star ticket king, has a sneaker contract that is not as good as a rookie!
But this can only be blamed for not selling shoes, Howard signed a three-year, $30 million shoe contract with Adidas in his rookie season.
Zhao Dashao feels that this is a better contract than Durant, as long as he plays the fourth season, he can get a contract of hundreds of millions of dollars, and he does not have to renew the contract after 7 years like James.
But the problem is that Howard hasn't sold a million pairs of sneakers in three years combined, which makes Adidas very disappointed and once again verifies the truth that centers don't sell shoes.
When Adidas renewed his contract with Howard last year, it only offered him a six-year, $36 million shoe contract full of restrictive clauses.
Howard also participated in the "Slam Dunk Contest" for three consecutive years since then, but it's not that he really likes to perform dunks, but there are many clauses in his new contract, such as not participating in the "Slam Dunk Contest" and not being able to go to big city teams, he can't get full endorsement fees.
That's why Howard has participated in the slam dunk contest three years in a row and has always wanted to play in big cities.
This kind of thing is not only encountered by Howard, but James's contract also has restrictions such as "big city" and "winning championships".
The same is true for Glory Sport, whose contract for Gareth Bale includes a similar clause that requires him to play for a "Category A" team within three years in order to receive full sponsorship and additional incentives.
There are now only 10 clubs classified as "A" by Glory Sport, including Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Arsenal, AC Milan and Inter Milan......
If he does not sign with these clubs within three years, he will only receive a partial remuneration.
So in many cases, it's not where the players want to play, it's the endorsement brand behind them that wants them to do it, the purpose is of course to make money, but there is nothing to be ashamed of, and there is no conflict with chasing honor!
Zhao Dashao ignored the two red-eyed guys, and turned his gaze to Tekoglu on the side.
In his eyes, the Turk is a dream chase Green with a strengthened projection but a weakened defense, and one of the few players in the league who can play the title of "playmaker".
"There are so many players at the top of the game this year!"
Zhao Dashao is a little sore, Howard is at his peak, Nielsen is at his peak, and Turkoglu is also at his peak, how do you feel that every time you meet a team, there are several fucking stars?
The Magic can play this year because of the mature relationship of the core system of Nelson + Turkoglou + Howard.
If it weren't for Nelson's playoff injury and being too anxious to come back, the Magic would not have been killed by the Lakers 4:1, and the gap between the two teams would not be so great.
So the question is, why are the Magic in a hurry to make Nelson's comeback?
Today's Nelson gave the answer, he was like an All-Star against the Lakers in the regular season, and he lost the old fish as soon as he came up, hitting all the first three shots, and also made a foul on Bynum by the way.
"Bynum stupid, old fish pure waste!"
Zhao Dashao watched the first few minutes of the game at the bottom, and he could guess how his navy was leading the rhythm.
But it wasn't wronging them, Bynum was fouled by Happy Beast and Nelson in the first two minutes, and rolled down in a sweat.
Gasol was in good shape, and after Bynum was beaten, he was replaced to defend Howard, but the happy beast couldn't find a chance to shoot.
But the drug-like Nelson, and Zhao Dashao's neglected Lewis, these two people felt explosive today!
"Why is Odom such a shit?"
Lao Yu and Bynum Bai were all in the calculation, but what Zhao Dashao and Zen Master didn't expect was that Odom was also like a waste dim sum, not only did he have no achievements on the offensive end, but he couldn't handle Lewis on the defensive end.
Ariza can't guard against Turkoglu either, he can't influence the Turks' high playmaking, who can connect his own inside and outside at will, except for Howard, who was too well taken care of by the Lakers, and the rest of his teammates are full of opportunities.
The more Zhao Dashao looked, the more he felt that the magic seemed to be stronger than the Lakers, which was about to lose the Lakers!
The Zen master couldn't sit still, and before the old fish could return the color on the offensive end, he directly replaced Zhao Dashao in advance.
This made Lao Yu very depressed, and Zhao Dashao secretly laughed!
He watched this battle back then, and he was quite impressed, and he still has a little impression until now.
He vaguely remembered that although Lao Yu was blown up in this game, he did not play badly on the offensive end, and it can be said that he exploded with Nielsen!
But now before he came back, the Zen master, who was also affected by public opinion, replaced Zhao Dashao.
This is not the first time that this is the case, Fisher, who was originally on the plane, has found his form at this time, although the defensive end is often exposed, but he has become more and more stable on the offensive end, and his key ball ability has returned to the previous level.
In fact, Lao Yu was completely given in vain after two consecutive championships, although he has declined on the defensive end in the past two years, he is still very reliable on the offensive side and key balls, and his ability to play hard battles is very good.
But this plane is completely different, not only has his playing time been greatly reduced, but the public opinion has also condemned him many times stronger, the key is that the team management and coaching staff have no patience, and they also think that he is old, and feel that instead of letting him slowly find his form, it is better to give Zhao Da less time to grow.
This kind of distrust and impatience has made Lao Yu never get back to his form, but has become worse and worse, and now even the traditional media thinks that he is old and should give way to young people.
Zhao Dashao was sent on the court after four minutes of the game, but he couldn't prevent speed, confrontation, shooting, and the key is Nelson, who still has a feel.
I don't know if this product is drugged, a dozen Lakers feel like a thief, which is a bit difficult for him and the old fish.
Kobe Bryant also gave it for nothing after seeing Zhao Dashao playing, seeing that the score difference was getting bigger and bigger, the anger on his face became more and more obvious, and he felt that none of his teammates today could help, they were all waste snacks, so it was better to let him do it himself.
The boss didn't just think so, he really got the basketball back, and the 12 shots in the first quarter were enough to show how unhappy he was with his teammates!
But don't really say that the boss will lose if he plays like this, Howard has his own defensive system at his peak, but the boss wants to play inside, and not only hit 6 of 12 shots in the first quarter, but also beat Howard into two fouls at the end of the quarter.
This made Zhao Dashao speechless, at this moment his navy should also be in pain, put his hands on the keyboard but didn't know how to spray the boss's infinite singles?
The Lakers were almost ten points behind at the beginning, but after the boss began to take over the basketball, it was the Lakers who were at a disadvantage in the first quarter who took the lead, which made the trolls unable to speak?
