556. Gone astray
Liu Ren looked proud, as if to say, "It's right to learn from me, right?" O'Neill, as well as Monroe and Bi Yongbo, who looked bitter and depressed, didn't know what to say to describe their feelings. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, O'Neal taught him to knock the opponent away and lift the ball up at the same time, and gently throw the ball into the basket with his fingertips, this trick is indeed a thief!
Liu Ren finally understood what Kupchak meant by what he said.
After getting O'Neill's contact information from Kupchak, Liu Ren thought about it for two days, and made it difficult to send a text message to O'Neill, and then O'Neill replied almost in seconds, it turned out that Kupchak contacted O'Neill after Liu Ren was about to call, and O'Neill waited for two days......
Liu Ren has heard a lot about O'Neill in the past two years, mainly related to Liu Ren himself, and it seems that O'Neal seems to be his fan.
As for socializing, although you can occasionally see it at the Staples Center, it is at best just a hello.
Why?
Liu Ren is a fan of Kobe!
Kobe fans and Ao Fat are incompatible!
When O'Neill wore Liu Ren's jersey and squeezed the jersey into a close-fitting vest, Liu Ren instantly burst into laughter, this guy is so funny.
Not to mention anything else, O'Neal was indeed born with more friends than Kobe, and his personality is too suitable for socializing.
It was not the first time the two had met, and there were not many polite things, and soon Liu Ren began to ask O'Neill for advice.
However, Liu Ren's expression obviously betrayed the true thoughts in his heart when he asked for advice, and the distrust on his face made O'Neill very sad and angry, and immediately asked Kupchak for two sparring partners...... Monroe and Biyombo, who have just officially joined the Lakers after a press conference.
Then O'Neill started a demonstration on Monroe and showed it to Liu Ren.
As soon as Monroe arrived at the Lakers, he was dismounted, he didn't know why he was so unlucky, as soon as he came, he was pulled by a giant beast to warm up, and then he was abused on the inside.
O'Neill is a few years old in his 40s and hasn't played professionally in years, but he's still O'Neal! That big head, that huge force, and the height and footprint are more than one lap bigger than Monroe, two hits Monroe from the sideline of the three-second zone to the reasonable collision zone, and then with a shake of the little hand, the ball fell into the basket.
After O'Neill abused Monroe, he asked Liu Ren to try it too, and the object of Liu Ren's experiment was Bi Yongbo.
Bi Yongbo is a typical West African center forward, thin and tall, able to jump, good explosiveness, and explosive physical fitness, but the same tonnage is insufficient, playing depends on physical fitness, and when encountering a skilled meat pile, he will often be deflated, and this situation is magnified to the point that Yao Ming eats and sleeps and fights Warcraft is the most typical representative.
Bi Yongbo is of course far worse than Howard, his biggest role on the court is to actively block and rush rebounds and dunks or something, not to mention that he is far worse than the peak Howard, and the current Howard, but he also has his advantages, although he is a little shorter, and Liu Ren, who is longer than the inch head, is actually as tall as standing together, but his arm span has reached an astonishing two meters and three one, which is more terrifying than Anthony Davis's arm span, and he can really guard the inside line well when Whiteside is resting, Wipe Gasol's ass when partnering with Gasol......
3 million a year, signing such a dare to fight and energetic fifth substitute insider, don't make too much money, and don't want to pay a penny of luxury tax, Boss Qiao will send him away as a burden.
Then Liu Ren tried to hit Bi Yongbo, Bi Yongbo was going to cry at the time, not to be so bullying, a small forward knocked a center back two steps in a row, and then the ball was thrown into the basket......
In terms of tonnage and static strength, Bi Yongbo is indeed no different from those jumping men, and sure enough, he still has the same impression of Liu Ren as he is, a master who uses bounce and arm span to grab rebounds and blocks.
I have to admit that, just like Kupchak said, Liu Ren feels that O'Neal's style of play is really suitable for him, and the opponent is unlikely to use a center to defend him, and even a big forward is not very likely, so when facing the opponent's outside line, Liu Ren feels that this move must have a good effect.
Then Liu Ren really began to practice this trick, mainly to practice the ball control when hitting people with his back to protect the ball from falling, and to grasp the opportunity to pick up the ball after hitting the opponent, straighten his arm and pick the ball into the basket with the strength of his wrist.
When Liu Ren saw that O'Neal, a guy who couldn't do anything except dunk in his mind, was so flexible and accurate under the basket, his three views collapsed, and then he began to decide to practice this summer! Don't stop if you don't exceed O'Neill's head!
O'Neill was very satisfied to see that his little hook hand had a successor, and Liu Ren felt as if something had been forgotten while practicing, and he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong, so he actively devoted himself to the training of the little hook hand.
And Monroe and Bi Yongbo were forced to do so, one as O'Neill's teaching target, and the other as Liu Ren's practice target......
……
……
Los Angeles, near Hollywood, in addition to Beverly Hills, there is also a small villa area called Normandy Manor, although it is not as world-famous as Beverly Hills, but the housing prices here are not worse than Beverly Hills, because this is Los Angeles.
In a newly rented villa in a Normandy estate, two people are arguing.
"Greig, how can you sign with the Lakers without permission? This is not in line with our protocol! 9 million? Is the Lakers calling Hanako? A bald white man roared in a near-collapse manner.
"David, I want to go to the Lakers, you know, I want to win a championship early, and it's great to play in Los Angeles, isn't it?" Monroe looked more calm.
Monroe's evaluation when he entered the NBA was to have the most traditional center body and the most calm mental quality, his template was Webb and Duncan, and he never complained when he was later put on the bench by Van Gundy, but still played diligently, which can be seen in his inner strength.
Monroe has been aiming at Duncan since he started playing basketball, of course, the kind of flying Duncan in the early stage of his career is not suitable for Monroe to learn, he imitates Duncan after 05, calm, good technique, good at sacrifice, and even Duncan has studied the psychology he has studied.
This is Monroe's newly rented house, and the angry white man is David Falck, a famous agent in the basketball circle.
David Falke has 20 NBA players under his command, and unlike most of the young legions of the Lakers who are all low picks and are not favored even when their agents give up on them and are picked up by the chicks, none of David Falke's hands are not lottery picks, and there are many top 10 picks and top 3 picks, which can be said to be one of the first few agents preferred by those hot rookies when they are selected.
David Falke got Jordan a 30 million one-year contract in 1996! In the 90s, $30 million could buy a team that just joined the NBA! When the Magic first entered the NBA, the franchise fee was 32.6 million, and then when the Magic joined, they got a first-round pick and 12 players from other teams in the NBA......
After becoming famous, David Falke became a favorite among players who later entered the NBA, and a large number of high-pick rookies joined his banner.
Monroe was rated as the most perfect American center among rookies entering the NBA after the 21st century, and David Falke naturally signed him to his portfolio.
However, David Falke has always felt that he can't control Monroe at all, and last year he wanted to push Monroe to trade for the Spurs, when the Spurs were willing to sign first and then trade, use Split plus two first-round picks in exchange for Monroe, and give Monroe a 5-year 60 million contract, but Monroe didn't want to partner with Duncan, he wanted to beat Duncan, and then skipped David Falke, the agent, who chose to accept the qualification offer, and rejected the 5-year 60 million contract.
This time Monroe came again, when David Falke went to China to help his newly signed No. 4 pick Mario Herzonia sign an endorsement contract with a Chinese sneaker brand, he made his own decision to sign a 3-year cheap contract with the Lakers, David Falke still saw the news from the news, and immediately flew from Shanghai to Los Angeles.
Completely contrary to Monroe's calmness, David Falke continued to roar: "Okay, I understand that you want a big stage, but you can tell me completely!" 9 million a year? God, don't you know that you're one of the biggest names in free agency right now? I can let the Lakers spend all the remaining salary space on you, and you can get at least 15 million ......."
Listening to the constant chatter of this agent who has nothing but money in his eyes, Monroe became a little impatient.
"David, the time difference between Los Angeles and Detroit is a bit big, I'm a little tired, let's talk about it next time." Monroe gave the order to evict the guest.
David Falke was even more upset when he saw the attitude of this player who he had never been able to control, but this is the United States, and the host ordered the guests to leave, and if the guests did not leave, the result was likely to be interesting, and David Falke could only leave in a rage.
Monroe looked at David Falck's back and sighed helplessly.
He's made it clear! He wants to win the championship early, wants to show his ability on a bigger stage, and takes less money in exchange for a better stage, why doesn't his agent understand?
What's the use of going to a weak team and getting a big contract now? Monroe has seen too many talented young players from weak teams get a big contract after a rookie contract, and then struggle for several years in the weak team, can't get any honors, and is also regarded as a data brush, and because the weak team is a star on him, he is also used to death, and finally delayed himself, and he didn't get honors in his 30s, and his body may not be able to hold on, Maddie, Mourning, Arenas...... There are many, many examples of this.
The team that Monroe wants to go to the most is actually the Spurs that he refused, if he goes now, that is, to give Duncan a hand, this is the first point he does not agree to go, but what is more important to him is that if he goes to the Spurs now, he will definitely play in the shadow of Duncan, and it will not be taken seriously, if he shows his ability in the Lakers in the next two years and helps the Lakers get good enough honors, wouldn't it be better to wait until Duncan retires and then play under Popovich?
In Liu Ren's original time and space, Monroe chose the Bucks with excellent talent and excellent coaching, and wanted to play his own value in the rising Bucks, but one of the Bucks' point guards grew into a center, which was what Monroe did not expect.
In this time and space, because the Bucks were poached by Liu Ren and the key to their rise, the Bucks are still looking for talent, and other teams are not satisfied with Monroe, so he came to Los Angeles to go to the Lakers, and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of Gasol getting old and Whiteside not yet sitting in the starting lineup to intervene, even if it didn't work out, it didn't matter, because he only wanted to sign a 1+1 contract at the beginning, but in the end it was not wrong to sign a 2+1 contract, if the Lakers won three consecutive championships, He could have gotten more.
Monroe is too calm in terms of psychology, and calmly made a good analysis for his future, as for whether it can be done, that's another matter, anyway, Liu Ren's original time and space didn't work out, sometimes people are unlucky and do drink cold water and stuff their teeth.
Watching David Falck walk out of the gate of the villa's enclosure, Monroe thought for a moment and dialed one.
"Hello, is it Mary? …… That's right, I'm Greg, it's the boss who asked me to contact you if I need to, and I terminated the contract with my agent...... When was the contract terminated? After I negotiated the contract with you...... Of course, there will be no problem, so you can set a time, I will be available at any time. ”
After hanging up, Monroe felt relieved.
Everything has changed, where you live has changed, the team has changed, the agent has changed, the girlfriend ...... It's going to change soon, this is Los Angeles! Monroe heard that those young models would stick upside down when they saw the Lakers players.
Terminating the contract with David Falck only requires a letter of notice for Monroe.
Monroe was ready to terminate his contract with David Falck for a long time, and when Monroe, who was still a college student in the summer of 2010, negotiated a contract with David Falck, he made it clear that both parties could terminate the broker agreement at any time.
In David Falke's opinion, no player will voluntarily leave his team, because he can always get the best contract for his own players, which is the fundamental reason why he can talk to his players with that almost crazy attitude.
Monroe thought of meeting Liu Ren for the first time yesterday, when he attended the press conference to join the Lakers and officially signed a three-year contract, he was pulled to the training ground by O'Neal like a chicken, and then half an hour later, he saw Liu Ren's terrifying strength.
To tell the truth, Monroe has never partnered with such a strong player, and when he saw Liu Ren abusing Bi Yongbo, Monroe seemed to see James who had no opponent in the East for four years during the Heat period.
"Hey, Greg, I didn't expect Mickey to really get you, I have a big question, are you Duncan's illegitimate son? They all had poker faces, and like Leonard's boring guy, I wondered if Duncan was Chamberlain's No. 2. ”
"Teammates? They're all a bunch of useless guys, yes, it's useless, except for robbing my data and robbing my honor, there's no other. ”
"You want to compare yourself to Hassan? Very interesting......
“……”
"You say how can Drummond and Nike get 30 million endorsements for 7 years? As a Laker, it's simple, isn't it? Well, the important point is that he and my agent are the same person. ”
Monroe took the initiative to talk to Liu Ren, and compared to Monroe, Liu Ren, an otaku, was too tender, and seemed to answer some miscellaneous questions, but Monroe asked him all the things he wanted to know.
The most critical point is why Green can get an endorsement contract that is much higher than Monroe's own, Monroe and Nike's endorsement fee is 5 million for four years, he was transferred from Peak to Nike in 2011, and when he was at Peak, it was only 5 million yuan a year, which is less than 1 million US dollars.
The center does not sell shoes, this is the law of the basketball shoe market, even Yao Ming and Howard's shoes can't be sold, Howard's first 10 million-level sneaker endorsement is over, and the second endorsement is only 6 million a year, you must know that he just became the All-Star ticket king at that time.
And Green recently got an endorsement contract with an average annual value of more than 4 million, which is already quite high in the inside.
Who doesn't want more money? Signing with the Lakers, even if it is only two years, even if it is only according to the so-called market price, Monroe has lost about six million, and if he can find a way to earn it back, it will naturally be better.
Joining Liu Ren's agency is a very good choice in Monroe's opinion.
