Chapter 42: The First Release
"Playoffs?"
Morey looked at Leylin, and there was an urge in his heart to swallow this guy directly.
First, he was extorted 50,000 US dollars for a short-term contract, and now he is extorted again.
A regular season game is $10,000, so how much is a playoff game?
Morey doesn't know, but it's certainly a lot more than $10,000.
Morey's instinct was to refuse, but thinking that he would participate in the remaining 21 games of the regular season and not participate in the playoffs, it seemed difficult for Adelman.
Did you tell him that Raylin only renewed his contract until the end of the regular season, and he won't participate in the playoffs, right?
In that case, he would not have the slightest doubt that the old man would tear himself apart.
"Of course, I think you'll be an indispensable part of us!"
Morey held back the anger in his heart and said with a smile.
As the general manager of a team, it seems that he still needs to cultivate.
"Okay, so how much do you think it costs to play a game in the playoffs? What should be the prize for a win? ”
Looking at Morey, Leylin asked indifferently.
At this moment, he has completely regarded himself as a businessman, and as his uncle said, the NBA is a business in general.
As a businessman, what you chase is profit.
You have use value, he greets you with a smile, you have no use value, you will be swept away.
This is the cruel alliance.
This is also the reason why many players pursue big contracts, at least when they are old and swept away, they can still have a rich family foundation and provide for themselves.
Morey in a dilemma?
If it's high, it's definitely not good, if it's less, people don't want to, and when the regular season is over, they will go on vacation directly. Then wait until July, and sign big contracts with other teams. Then he Morey should not mix in the alliance.
"Okay, in order to thank you for your help, the playoff appearance fee is 20,000 per game, the winning prize is 10,000, if you advance to the second round, you will pay another 100,000 bonus, and if you are promoted later, the bonus will be so on!"
"If there is no problem, you can draft the contract! However, the appearance fee and prize money should be indicated and paid as soon as the match is over! ”
After saying that, Leylin left the rest to Lewis and waited until tomorrow to sign the contract.
After leaving the Toyota Center, Leylin drove straight to Hermann Memorial Hospital, located in the southeast of the city.
"Come in!"
After finding Yao Ming's hospital room with ease, Lei Lin knocked softly on the door and walked in directly.
"Why are you here?"
After Yao Ming put down the book in his hand, he said with a smile.
Regarding Lei Lin's performance, Yao Ming can only describe it with two words: surprise.
Two triple-doubles in four games in a row, such a feat that Yao Ming has never done in the league.
"Come and have a look!"
Leylin sat directly on the sofa in the hospital room.
"Water, and drinks are available in the refrigerator, you have to drink it yourself!"
"Well, how do you feel?"
"It's okay! This one takes a long recovery time and requires a slow recuperation! ”
It takes a hundred days to break the muscles and bones, and it will take several months for this bone to crack.
"By the way, you kid, you've been doing well lately, two consecutive triple-doubles, how about it, you should renew your contract with the team, right?"
"I just talked to Morey about renewing my contract in the afternoon, and I will sign the contract tomorrow!"
"Good guys, then next season with Tracy we can make it to the Finals!"
Yao Ming heard that Lei Lin would renew his contract tomorrow, and laughed directly!
This is Yao Ming's sixth season in the league, and he has yet to taste the second round of the playoffs.
"But the contract is only until the end of the season!"
Since Yao Ming joined the NBA, many people are looking forward to Da Yao winning the championship, after all, Da Yao has such strength, but unfortunately, five seasons have passed, and Da Yao is still struggling to break through the first round of the playoffs.
So when I saw Da Yao's smile when he heard that he had renewed his contract, I knew that Da Yao had greater expectations for himself after joining the Rockets.
Still, Leylin told the truth.
"So?"
Yao Ming's smile gradually disappeared, but only for a moment.
"That's okay too! After the end of the season, there is also the possibility of signing! Anyway, you have this talent, you can't waste it, play hard, train more, communicate more, so that you can improve and gain a firm foothold in the league! Playing here is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, if you don't grow, you will be eliminated! ”
"Yes!"
For Yao Ming's words, Lei Lin took it to heart, this or just the power of idols!
Chatting with Yao Ming next, most of them were Yao Ming teaching his own experience of playing in the league, and of course, asking Lei Lin to strengthen training, such as shooting training, attacking under the basket, etc.
After chatting for more than an hour, Leylin left Hermann Hospital.
……
At half past seven in the afternoon of the next day, Leylin and his teammates went to the Toyota Center to warm up.
In the morning, Leylin completed a contract extension with the Rockets.
The content of the contract is completely in accordance with Lei Lin's plan. However, Morey added a clause to it, and after the end of the season, the Rockets have the priority to renew Leylin's contract, which is also a back road left by Morey for himself.
But Leylin can't care so much now, because after this game is over, the outcome of each game will be related to how much money Leylin can get.
So he can't miss every opportunity to train.
After trying a few shots, Leylin was feeling good.
After more than ten minutes of warm-up, Leylin and his teammates returned to the locker room.
"Alright, guys, the game is about to start, let's talk about today's starters, Raf, Tracy, Shaun, DiCambe, Ray!"
Raylin looked at Adelman incredulously.
"What's the matter, Ray, do you have an opinion?"
"Of course not!"
"That's good, when you get on the court, give me a good performance!"
"Definitely!"
Being able to enter the starting list made Leylin a little surprised.
In the pre-game press conference, Adelman said that he would make changes to the starting lineup today, because Landry felt some knee discomfort before the game, so he will miss today's game, so there is one less competitive interior player on the bench.
If Scola is pulled to the starting line-up, there is a missing inside scoring point on the bench.
"Very good, Raff, watch out against Chris, I don't want to see him pass the ball on the pitch as he pleases, understand?"
"Understood!"
Alston replied loudly.
As one of the 05 twin stars, Paul immediately became the core of the Hornets after entering the league, and quickly adapted to the rhythm of the league.
After two seasons of training, Paul became one of the best point guards in the league. An excellent big-picture vision and a wide field of vision that allowed Paul to deliver accurate passes every time, coupled with excellent tackling ability and scoring ability in key moments, made Paul a superstar player.
This season, the Hornets, led by Paul, have become the most competitive team in the West.
With the record assured, Paul has also become a strong contender for the MVP of the regular season.
Defending Paul can be a daunting task.
Looking at Alstom's incomparably confident appearance, Adelman was expressionless, just nodded there.
"Very good, Sean, your task tonight is also very difficult, which is to be on the defensive end, give Peja to death, and don't give him any room to shoot!"
It may sound like an impossible task, but Adelman knows his former disciple very well, and if you give him a gap, he can put the ball in the basket.
As the Rockets' outside defensive leader, Battier, listening to Adelman's request, just nodded indifferently there.
Adelman then stressed the importance of coordination and ball sharing on the offensive end, which is also the central idea of his coaching.
"Alright, guys, come on!"
"Come on!"
……
The brightly lit Toyota Center became extremely dark at the moment, with only a beam of light hitting the exit of the players' tunnel.
"Ladies and gentlemen, first of all, let us welcome our center with the warmest cheers, he is seven feet tall and weighs 260 pounds, he is Leylin from China!"
"Thunderlin!"
"Thunderlin!"
"Thunderlin!"
With the shouts of the fans, to the rhythm of powerful music, Leylin ran into the stadium.
There waving his hands and following the music of his writhing body.
It was the first time Leylin had played as a starter and was cheered on by the fans, and it was a great feeling.
"I love it!"
In the center of the stadium, Leylin, who was writhing his body, was enjoying the cheers of the fans.
