Back in Houston, after saying goodbye to his teammates, Leylin hurriedly drove back to the Hutchison restaurant.

"I really don't know what Lewis is doing mysteriously."

After getting out of the car and muttering, Lei Lin quickly entered the restaurant.

As the nephew of the owner of Hutchison's restaurant, Lei Lin is no stranger to every corner of the restaurant, let alone the employees who work here. After greeting everyone he met, Leylin went straight to the box where Lewis was.

"Hi Ray!"

When he entered the box, Lei Lin found that in addition to Lewis and Zhu Jie, there were two strangers.

"Hey, Lewis, you guy called me back in a hurry, what's the hurry?"

After saying hello to the two strangers, Leylin cut straight to the point.

Although he was able to get some rest today, the playoffs are about to begin, and Leylin wants to spend more time on the training court and continue to improve his game.

The loss in Salt Lake City made him nervous again. Although every training session was completed very seriously, Leylin felt that his growth was too slow.

"It's not a particularly important thing, Daryl Morey called me and wanted to talk about your contract renewal."

"Renewal?"

Listening to Lewis's words, Leylin was a little surprised.

After that negotiation, Leylin had lost patience and anticipation with the Rockets' management. So naturally, Leylin also thought that Team Rocket had lost interest in him.

Just as he wanted to ask about the renewal of the contract, Lei Lin thought of the stranger in it and closed his mouth.

And the two strangers saw Lei Lin's actions, and they also said goodbye to Lewis directly with great interest.

"What conditions did they offer?"

Leylin is now desperate to know what kind of contract the Rockets will match him. Although there is no shortage of money in the family, no one will be afraid of having too much money, and Lei Lin is no exception.

"I didn't say it yet!"

Lewis listened to Leylin's words and smiled.

"But I don't think they're going to offer a big contract. According to the league's latest data, the salary cap could rise by millions of dollars next season. It is estimated that the luxury tax will be about 60 million, and Tracy and Yao's salaries will take up a large part, do you think Alexander will pay the luxury tax for you? ”

As soon as Lewis said this, Leylin understood.

In addition to Maddy and Yao Ming, the Rockets' salaries now account for a huge part, and Battier and Scola also occupy a large part, and the two will have a combined contract of nearly 10 million next season. In addition, Landry is still seeking a mid-level contract, and if the Rockets agree to Landry's request, then with the addition of contracts from Brooks, Hyde and others, the Rockets will not have much salary space.

Coupled with the team's reinforcements, it is thankful that Raelin can get a mid-level contract of five million.

"And what about the location?"

Compared to salary, Raelin is more focused on his place with the Rockets next season.

Yao Ming's recovery is very good, and according to the doctor's judgment, he will definitely be able to catch up with the Olympics. As a result, with Yao Ming's return, the Rockets' interior line will look bloated next season.

It is difficult to say whether Reelin, who lacks the means to score, can become an important part of Adelman.

Seeing Lewis shaking his head there, all three fell silent.

Jingle ......

Just as the three of them were silent, a mobile phone ringtone broke the silence of the box.

"Darryl's call."

I took out my phone and saw that it was a call from Morey, needless to say, there must be a question about the renewal of the contract.

After answering the phone and saying a few words, Lei Lin hung up the phone.

"The Rockets would like me to be able to talk to them in the afternoon about a contract extension."

"I'll go with you."

After Lewis patted Lei Lin on the shoulder, he and Zhu Jie left the Hutchison restaurant directly.

……

"Rick, congratulations on your amazing results this season."

"Thank you, it's all about you, and you're part of the team's success."

In Morey's office, Adelman and Morey were complimenting each other.

To be able to achieve such a good result in his first season with the Rockets is definitely a compliment for Adelman. Especially this season, Yao Ming and Maddie have been plagued by injuries, and this result is even more dazzling.

"OK, I'd like to talk to you about Ray."

Adelman listened to Morey's words, shrugged his shoulders, and then motioned for Morey to continue.

"As a rookie, Leylin's performance is gratifying, but next season with Yao's return, how will you distribute the ball?"

Although Adelman made a name for himself with the Princeton system, the Rockets have also relied on team basketball to play a string of exciting games this season. However, Yao Ming is obviously not suitable for this tactical system, but Alexander, an old man, is even more unlikely to let go of this cash cow. So as long as Yao Ming is healthy, he will definitely be able to get plenty of opportunities, so that he can only watch how Adelman distributes the ball reasonably.

"If Ray wants to, then he will be Yao's first replacement."

Adelman, who is an old man, of course, knows what Morey means, that is, he is thinking about Lei Lin in addition to making sure that Yao Ming has enough time. After all, in terms of influence, Yao Ming can throw off Lei Lin ten streets. In terms of strength, although Yao Ming can also completely destroy the current Lei Lin. It is clear at a glance which is better and which is inferior.

"OK, what about Carl? Whether it's in your plan or not. ”

As the team's general manager, Morey certainly wants to know the manager's future plans.

In this way, when recruiting and renewing contracts, you can make choices in time.

"Of course, he's a great forward with some impact and rebounding power, and he's also good at the rim......

For the rest of the day, Morey and Adelman had a detailed conversation in the office.

"OK, Rick, I'll do my best to accommodate your request!"

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

Just as Morey and Adelman were about to discuss, a rhythmic knock came in.

"Please come in!"

After shaking Rick's hand, Morey turned his head to look at the door of his office, only to see Lewis Reeling standing outside the door.

"Sir."

Seeing Adelman coming out of the office, Leylin screamed.

"Let's talk, I personally hope to see you here again next season."

With that, Adelman patted Leylin on the shoulder and walked out of Morey's office.

"Thunder ......"

Lewis looked at Lei Lin in a daze, and shouted softly.

"Uh, hello, Daryl!"

After coming to his senses, Leylin shook hands with Morey directly, and then sat on the sofa, waiting for the negotiations below.

After a break at noon, Leylin went straight to the Toyota Center to practice, and only after Lewis came here did Leylin go to the locker room to take a shower, and then the two went directly to Morey's office.

"Hello Ray, Hello Lewis! A fantastic season is coming to an end, your performance, the club is watching, the club wants to re-sign a contract with you, I hope you can forget the past unpleasantness! Here is the new contract, I hope you can think about it carefully. ”

Once Leylin was seated, Morey went straight to the point.

After the previous unpleasant negotiations, Morey did not want to continue to argue with Relin.

Although Reeling occupies an important place in Adelman's tactical system, Reeling is not completely irreplaceable for Alexander and Morey.

In the case of Yao Ming's health, the management's thirst for Lei Lin is not particularly great.

So the Rockets only offered Leylin a two-year, five-million contract. For a rookie who hasn't been drafted, it's not a small number.

Lewis asked, after looking at it for a moment.

"I wonder where Ray will be on the team next season?"

"I've already talked to Rick about this issue, Lei will be Yao's first substitute, with a certain amount of playing time and opportunities!"

After saying this, Morey looked at Leylin.

In fact, the will of the players is still the most important, as long as Reelin can be satisfied with the conditions provided by the team, then everything is not a problem.

After taking the contract and looking at it, Leylin smiled.

The contract offered by the Rockets, or even his place on the team next season, did not surprise Reelin.

Although it did not meet Leylin's expected salary, it was not unacceptable.

But thinking that he would share the remaining ten minutes with Uncle Mu, Landry and even Hayes next season, Leylin was a little hesitant.

Whether a player can get enough growth, consistent appearances and consistent shots are very crucial.

After glancing at Morey and Lewis, whether to renew the contract or not to renew it was all in Leylin's thoughts.

(PS: In the past few days, I have been running around at home, promoted my girlfriend, and became a fiancée.) Bless it, brothers! By the way, I ask for a recommendation, and the number of recommended votes is really pitiful. From today, the two more will be restored, and what is owed before will be slowly added and made up! Thank you! )
