Chapter 164 It's not about money, it's about respect

The next morning, it was just dawn. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Goo-goo-goo!"

"Goo-goo-goo!"

The continuous crowing of the rooster woke Lu Xiaofeng up.

The first reaction was that he thought he was back in his hometown!

Feeling the warm fragrance of nephrite in my arms, I realized that this was in Los Angeles.

"Why did you set an alarm? Why are you up so early? ā€

Zhao Yuwei was also woken up, and was about to get up from Lu Xiaofeng's arms.

I had a premonition that Lu Xiaofeng and Zhao Yuwei had "something" to do in the evening, and after eating, Chen Yuhan said that he was tired and ran back to the room early.

Zhao Yuwei didn't say anything polite to her, as soon as her eyes hooked, Lu Xiaofeng rushed over and hugged her waist and ran to the bedroom.

From eight or nine o'clock in the evening until the early hours of the morning.

Zhao Yuwei, who was preparing to fight for 300 rounds, was still the first to lose, and fell asleep with Lu Xiaofeng in her arms.

Looking at the sleepy-eyed Zhao Yuwei, she forced herself to get up, Lu Xiaofeng pulled her hand and pulled her back into his arms.

"No, I'm going to get up. If Yuhan gets up first, it will depend on my joke. ā€

Zhao Yuwei struggled to get up, yawned and got dressed and walked out of the door.

Seeing that she cared so much, Lu Xiaofeng didn't stop her.

When Lu Xiaofeng got up and went downstairs, he found that Chen Yuhan was already sitting in the restaurant and started to eat.

"Morning, did you sleep well?"

Lu Xiaofeng greeted her with a smile, Chen Yuhan glanced at him and ignored him.

"The laughing wind is up! Have a quick breakfast! ā€

Zhao Yuwei heard his voice and walked out of the kitchen with a plate, smiling and full of spring breeze.

Looking at her virtuous appearance, who would have thought that she was capable at work and debauchery in the bedroom?

Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but sigh, quite a bit of "If you have a wife like this, what more can you ask for".

"Does my sister still want it?"

"Thank you, sister, I'm enough!"

Looking at Chen Yuhan, who was smiling at Zhao Yuwei, but ignoring himself, Lu Xiaofeng discovered:

"The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard!"

While he was eating breakfast, the call came, and Bill Duffy asked him to come to the Lakers to discuss the contract.

Thinking that Zhao Yuwei was afraid that she would have to make up for it, and Lu Xiaofeng and Chen Yuhan were not familiar with the traffic in Los Angeles, Lu Xiaofeng asked Duffy to come and pick him up.

In a few moments, Duffy arrived.

Lu Xiaofeng brought Chen Yuhan with him.

Watching the two of them leave, Zhao Yuwei's tense spirit was relaxed, and the sleepiness came suddenly, and she hurriedly ran upstairs to make up for sleep.

------------------------------------------------

Staples Center is located in the heart of downtown Los Angeles, with Highway 10 running east-west and Highway 110 connecting north and south.

Lu Xiaofeng thought that Duffy was going to take them to the Staples Center, but he didn't.

It turns out that the Staples Center is not the headquarters of the Lakers.

The Lakers' headquarters are located in El Segundo, a small city southwest of Los Angeles, and have a name that makes Lu Xiaofeng unhappy - Toyota Sports Center.

Not far to the north, across Highway 105, is Los Angeles International Airport, which is convenient for the team to travel back and forth to the away game.

And because it's right by the sea, the environment is much better than the city center.

Duffy took the two of them, but they were familiar with each other, and they arrived at the general manager's office after a while.

The two tall white men, Lu Xiaofeng recognized them at a glance.

Kupchik, the Lakers manager who replaced West, Lu Xiaofeng had an impression in his previous life, and now he finally sees "live".

And the new coach of the Lakers, Tom Janovic, and Lu Xiaofeng have been famous for a long time.

The two championships in the history of the Rockets were won by him.

The most famous is the phrase "Never underestimate the heart of a champion".

In 1995, he took the Rockets, who were sixth in the West in the regular season, all the way down, first eliminated the Jazz, who was third in the West, then eliminated the Suns, who were second in the West, then the Spurs, who were first in the West, and finally swept the Magic, who were first in the East, and won the championship.

He is the mentor of Yao Ming's rookie season, has a good impression of the Chinese, and is better at discovering the potential of rookies.

He is also one of the reasons why Lu Xiaofeng chose to come to the Lakers.

After an introduction and a handshake, it can be regarded as an acquaintance, and it is to get to the point.

"Bill, it's been so long, now that the Olympics are over, and Lu is here, it's time to sign a contract."

Kupchik was the first to speak.

"Of course. We're here to sign today. But you have to make Lu feel the sincerity of the Lakers. ā€

Lu Xiaofeng has reached a consensus with Duffy, and the negotiations are all negotiated by Duffy, and he is just a bystander.

"You know, it's useless for us to keep the middle-class clause, it's just going to be used to sign the mainland."

"It was a wise decision. You know, with the performance and potential of the land, the middle class is great value. So is it two years or three years? ā€

"No, no, no. You are mistaken, I mean part of the middle class. Kupchik hurriedly shook his hand.

"Part? You're not kidding me, are you? Duffy stood up.

'We're also ready to sign a free agent. Moreover, Lu is a rookie after all, and he has never played professionally. Kupchik hurriedly pleaded.

"Rookie? Yes, Lu is a rookie. ā€

"But can you find a rookie in the Olympic Team of the Year?"

"Can you find other rookies with as much potential as Lu?"

"Lu, it's the other LeBron James. No, he's better than James! ā€

Duffy excitedly asked.

"Bill, don't get excited. Lu hadn't played in the NBA after all. It's not too late to sign a big contract if you play well in the future! ā€

"Mitch, I don't agree with you. Lu's capabilities are obvious. ā€

"He has excellent physical conditions, good organizational skills, and excellent projection ability, and he can also bring the weak Chinese team to the Olympic final. Everyone knows that he will quickly grow into a superstar. ā€

"In my opinion, the price of the middle class is already less."

Kupchik was speechless.

Duffy continues to add weight:

"You should know that Lu's popularity in China is no less than Yao Ming."

"At this point, Lu is worth the full middle class."

"If we can't reach a deal, Lu will go back to China to go to college and continue to participate in the draft next year, and then it won't have to be the Lakers."

"Lu really wanted to play for the Lakers, so he didn't contact other teams at the beginning. But if the team doesn't give Lu respect, Lu can only choose other teams. ā€

Seeing that Duffy threw out the bottom line, Kupchik knew that his wishful thinking had failed.

The owner of the Lakers, Jerry Buss, told him to sign Lu Xiaofeng.

Think about the benefits that Yao Ming brought to Rocket and Alexander, which boss is not tempted?

Glancing at Tomjanovich, Kupchik shrugged and said:

"Well, Bill, you win. Let's talk about the length of the contract! ā€

……

That night, Tencent's NBA section updated the headlines:

"Lu Xiaofeng signed with the Lakers, and his salary exceeded that of the champion show."

Some details of the contract were also revealed:

The Lakers signed Lu Xiaofeng with the full middle class;

It is a 1+1 contract;

$4,903,000 for the first year;

$5,393,300 for the second year;

The second year is the team option.

Lu Xiaofeng signed the contract, and of course told Zhao Yuwei as soon as he went back.

The so-called "near the water, the first to get the moon".

"Am I sacrificing hue to get the news?"

Sending out the finished manuscript, Zhao Yuwei raised her head and asked Lu Xiaofeng.

"I won't tell you about it after that!"

"Hate, then I'm not sacrificing in vain?"

Then, Lu Xiaofeng's Weibo was also updated:

"I'm a Laker!"

With a photo of Lu Xiaofeng wearing casual clothes and standing on the Lakers' training ground.

Of course, it sparked heated discussions among netizens:

"One day Zijin, a lifelong laker, I hope that Brother Feng will fight in my lake for a lifetime."

There are die-hard fans of the Lakers, and before they even started, they were thinking about how many years from now.

"Brother Feng, what jersey will you choose? Is it still number 6? ā€

"Brother Feng, choose the jersey number! I can't wait to get your jersey! ā€

"Brother Feng, I've already bought the No. 6 jersey of the Lakers, don't choose any other numbers!"

Some iron fans think more realistically.

"Kobe Bryant is my male god, Brother Feng is my idol, they are my 'BF' combination, it's perfect!"

Some female fans said this, the stars in their eyes can be seen through the Internet.

"It's not the champion, it's better than the champion, Brother Feng is too good. He led the Chinese team to a silver medal in his first Olympic trip, but what about his first NBA season? Looking forward to the Lakers dynasty returning to Angel City, 'SHOWTIME' returns to Los Angeles! ā€

"As soon as Lu Xiaofeng went to the NBA, his salary surpassed Yao Ming's, is this a sign that he will replace Yao Ming as the first person in Chinese basketball? I really want to go to the NBA Chinese derby! It's a pity I don't have any money! ā€

More enthusiastic fans can't help but start the next NBA2004-05 season of 'YY'.

There is secret, and of course there is black:

"Kobe Bryant plays so alone, can Lu Xiaofeng touch the ball in the Lakers?"

"Lu Xiaofeng's playing style will be scrapped sooner or later, the Lakers are gambling with attention, pay attention to failure!"

"Stay away from Kobe, otherwise you will be the next rapist, and the face of the Chinese will be disgraced by you!"

Speaking of Kobe, of course, there are also many netizens who left messages on Weibo and asked:

"Brother Feng, have you singled out Kobe? How much did you lose? ā€

When Lu Xiaofeng saw this, his head was instantly covered with black lines.

"Can't I win?" (To be continued.) )
