Chapter 280: Shutdown Ends and Trading
Wu Di has been following the NBA shutdown during the break, and the negotiations have been carried out round after round, but the talks have collapsed again and again. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It was not until November 26 that the two sides negotiated for 15 hours and reached a final agreement.
Before this, Wu Di had not been idle, he accompanied Guo Yuan to make an action movie. The movie is called "Heavenly Soldiers", and it tells the story of Chinese special forces breaking through a building occupied by terrorists, taking a helicopter when they go, and then there are no reinforcements, and they have to rescue more than a dozen hostages in the hands of hundreds of terrorists.
The film has no plot and is played at the beginning, from beginning to end.
Wu Di invested in this movie, spent 50 million, bought a building as a filming location, and blew up the entire building at the end of filming. Because of the huge cost, Wu Di cooperated with several film and television companies, and Xiangjiang invited world-class action directors.
In the early stage, preparations began in May, and all the top domestic action actors were used, even if they were not famous, as long as they had strength. This movie is played by Wu Di, as long as it is made a little better, it can sweep the box office. The domestic film market has begun, and according to Wu Di's name, the movie he starred in for the first time will definitely be a big hit.
Just think that in "October Siege" and "Change 3", Wu Di's performance has been recognized by fans, although the acting skills need to be strengthened, no one will force a player to have good acting skills, as long as he passes.
In the movie, Guo Yuan plays the martial arts instructor of the Great War Brigade and the heir of a martial arts family. Wu Di plays the captain, and the two have an ambiguous relationship. In the end, in order to cover Guo Yuan's retreat, Wu Di was seriously injured and unable to retreat, so he rushed into the building and set off a bomb, blowing up the entire building.
At the beginning of the 11th century, the film was finished, and a good post-production team was hired to make the post-production. Wu Di was afraid that the editing would not be good, so he asked that after the editing of the movie was completed, it should be handed over to him after watching it before it could be released.
After filming the movie, after resting for nearly twenty days, Wu Di heard the news of the shutdown.
The new season kicks off on December 25 with only 66 games due to the shutdown. The trade market will open on December 9, and the Zen master will complete the deal before the start of the season, and hire a new head coach to sign Wu Di.
Now that Wu Di is already a free agent, as long as the free market opens, I believe that all teams will wave money to sign him. Although Wu Di signed an agreement with the Lakers, this agreement does not have legal effect, and Wu Di does not have to pay any legal responsibility if he wants to repent, at most he will ruin his reputation.
In early September, Zen Master signed a contract with D'Antoni to hire him as the Lakers' new coach.
The addition of D'Antoni has made the outside world optimistic about the Lakers, after all, D'Antoni is a famous coach. And Wu Di, the main star of the Lakers, is a versatile player who can play any tactic.
On December 9, the first day of free agency, the Zen master made a deal with the Cavaliers to send Andrew Bynum away in a trade for Daniel Gibson and some cash.
After the knight had Zhuangyuanxiu, he began to prepare for rebuilding and find a helper for Zhuangyuanxiu. Bynum's strength has been proven enough that it would be a good fit for Kelly Irving to be a helper.
The Lakers consolidated the team, Luke Walton was ready to retire, and it was agreed with the Warriors to go there as an assistant coach.
In this way, there are only a few players with contracts in the Lakers, Kobe, Gasol, Pekovic, Sun Yue, and Fisher. Kobe Bryant's salary this year is 25 million, Gasol's salary is 18.7 million, Pekovic and Sun Yue are both in their early 3 million, Fisher is also 3 million, and Daniel Gibson is 4.4 million.
Now a total of 61 million, the Zen master first signed with rookies Klay Thompson, Jimmy Butler, and Andrew Goodlock, and Klay Thompson signed 12 million for 4 years and 3 million in the first year. Jimmy Butler signed for 10 million for 4 years and 2 million for the first year. Andrew Goodlock signed for one year without security, with a base salary of 500,000.
That's 67 million.
The UAE returned to play in China due to a suspension, but unfortunately suffered an injury, which made him ineligible to negotiate with the Lakers, who could only give him a two-year contract with a one-year team option. In the first year, it was only 4 million, and if it could be left in the second year, it would be 6 million.
There are only ten players, which is still far from enough, and the Zen master still has to choose a few players in the free market, first signing a one-year contract with Derrick Caracott, and then selecting a few undrafted players from the free market. Signed a Chinese-American player, Jeremy Lin, who previously signed with the Warriors but was cut on Dec. 9.
72 million, twelve players.
The Zen master felt that it was almost over, and immediately reached an agreement with Wu Di on December 15, signing a contract of 120 million for 5 years, 20 million for the first year.
The total salary is 92 million, thirteen players. From center to point guard, he has played for Gasol, Pekovic, UAE, Derrick Caracott, Wu Di, Sun Yue, Jimmy Butler, Kobe, Klay Thompson, Fisher, Daniel Gibson, Andrew Goodlock, and Jeremy Lin.
Although there are as many as four point guards, Andrew Goodlock and Jeremy Lin are here to play soy sauce, both of which are not guaranteed contracts, mainly relying on Fisher and Daniel Gibson to play.
However, such a line-up is the one that D'Antoni likes, and D'Antoni likes to use the open spaces very much, and he is quite happy with the four available for him. Fisher has a lot of experience, Daniel Gibson is fast, and he has two rookies for him to work on, and he's satisfied.
Wu Di is also very satisfied, he now has several people under him who need to train, UAE, Sun Yue, Klay Thompson, Jimmy Butler are now Wu Di is training.
However, the UAE is still recovering from an injury and cannot participate in training.
However, despite the absence of the UAE, the strength of the Lakers is not weak, D'Antoni is good at using run-and-gun tactics, as long as there is an interior line, he can play. What's more, Wu Di and Sun Yue can all make cameo appearances on the inside, even if they all go to the inside, Klay Thompson can make a cameo appearance in the No. 3 position, and Gibson and Jeremy Lin can also play scoring guards.
In this way, the Lakers' lineup is not as uneven as it seems, but it fits the lineup of run-and-gun tactics very well. D'Antoni is constantly in the training camp, constantly adjusting the lineup, and he has to know the characteristics of the players to be familiar with them. His style is a little different from that of Zen masters, and he has to make sure that players can adapt to that change, otherwise the Lakers will be a bit mysterious this season.
