Chapter 53: A Conversation with Phil

This time, Adi gave Wang Meng a contract of 5 million a year and 25 million for five years, this contract is really big, you must know that even if it is a sneaker contract for Kobe James and others, the contract is more than 10 million a year.

However, Rob still thinks that this contract is a bit long, and after discussing it with Adi, he decided to sign a one-year contract with Adi first, worth four million, and whether to renew the contract in the future depends on the sincerity of Wang Meng and Adi.

Wang Meng signed the relevant contract with the person in charge of Adi, and then Adi designed sneakers for Wang Meng, and after the design was made, Wang Meng also needed to shoot a set of advertisements for Adi.

After signing the contract, Wang Meng looked very happy, we are also millionaires.

After playing the Rockets, the Lakers ushered in another wave of seven consecutive away games, namely the away game against the Hornets on February 6, the away game against the Grizzlies on February 8, the away meeting against the Celtics on February 11, the away game against the Knicks on February 12, the away Magic on February 14, the away Bobcats on February 15, and the away Cavaliers on February 17. And after the 17th Cavaliers, the Staples Center in Los Angeles will host an All-Star Weekend.

Wang Meng now ranks second among Western defenders in the number of votes, beating Paul Nash and other super point guards, it is estimated that the starters will not be able to run, and Yao Ming is expected to become the starting center in the West, but whether he can play depends on the situation.

Playing the Hornets, the person who needs to be paid attention to is Paul, but unfortunately Paul was injured and couldn't play, and the Lakers won easily and won this victory without blood.

Wang Meng originally thought that he would be booed again when he came to the New Orleans Arena, but he didn't expect that this time the fans would watch the game quietly, saying that it was quiet, but it was actually very noisy, but they didn't specifically deal with Wang Meng, which made Wang Meng feel very strange.

Against New Orleans, Wang Meng scored fifteen points, ten assists, and scored a double-double again.

Playing the Grizzlies on February 8, Kobe Bryant recovered and started, and the game almost became his one-man show, Kobe Bryant shot 13 of 22 and scored 32 points, Wang Meng got 10 out of 10 assists in this game, and the data plummeted, but the Lakers still won.

On February 11, the Lakers went to Boston to challenge the Celtics, and the Celtics, who lost in Los Angeles, tried their best to teach the Lakers a lesson, and they did, the Celtics defeated the Lakers 103-89 and successfully defended their home court.

As soon as the game ended, all kinds of trolls all over the world came out, saying that Wang Meng was no longer good, saying that Wang Meng actually only relied on Kobe to get good data, Kobe Bryant had a bad hand Wang Meng had no ability to help Kobe score at all, Wang Meng was just a data brush.

In the face of these words, Wang Meng was somewhat speechless, I helped Kobe Bryant score, I have a chance to shoot, everyone knows what kind of person Kobe Bryant is, as long as he believes in something, he will never look back, even if Phil is calling on the sidelines to let Kobe pass the ball more, Kobe will still attack, this is Kobe, if he doesn't do this, he won't be able to reach his current status.

Some people may say that even if Kobe Bryant shoots more, he can't play the whole game in one game, right, where did you go when Kobe didn't play?

Wang Meng is even more speechless for this kind of problem, the Lakers don't have only one Kobe, whether it is Odom, Gasol or Bydam, they are all more famous than Wang Meng, and they are old, even if they are not good at attacking, Artest has to give out six or seven shots per game, and in the end, what is left for Wang Meng is not a few shots at all.

In the game with the Celtics, Wang Meng played very aggrieved, although his strength was stronger than when he played against the Celtics before, but it was much more ugly than the last time.

After the game, Phil specially called Wang Meng. "Wang Meng, come have a meal with me later, I know a very good French restaurant in Boston, don't worry, the food is cooked food."

Phil invited, Wang Meng naturally would not refuse, and he also knew that since Phil invited himself to dinner, it would definitely not be as simple as just eating.

"How? How does it feel? When he arrived at the restaurant, Phil ordered a few dishes and asked Wang Meng.

"It's not bad, the restaurant environment here is very good." Wang Meng said.

Phil shook his head, "I'm not asking you about the environment here, I'm asking you how it feels to play for the Lakers." ”

"It's good, I love playing with the Lakers." Wang Meng replied.

"Really?" Phil's voice seemed meaningful. "So do you want to stay with the Lakers for long?"

Wang Meng was silent.

To be honest, he really wants to play in the Lakers, and now the Lakers' configuration is almost perfect, every position is strong, and there are good benches, like Odom, Barnes, Shannon Brown and others, plus he has made up the point guard, the Lakers can be said to be invincible today, playing in a landless team, all they taste is victory, it feels very good.

But today's game with the Celtics made him sober up a little, this is Kobe's team after all, and he is not even a second-in-command in the Lakers, no, a third-in-command.

If it was him before, he would have been very satisfied even if he was a substitute, but now the situation is different, his strength has grown considerably, he has adapted to the rhythm of the NBA, and he has done very well, in this case, he has no right to shoot at all, which makes Wang Meng a little unhappy.

And Rob told him that the Lakers uniform team had contacted him and wanted to sign a contract with Wang Meng for about five years and five million, one million a year, not even the middle class, which was simply insulting Wang Meng, and Rob hung up the phone without even talking.

Wang Meng also knows that the Lakers really don't have extra salary to sign him, Kobe Bryant's contract with Gasol has expired in 2011, and the Lakers' contract renewal for Kobe Bryant is 3 years and 83.55 million, renewed on April 2, 2010, effective in the summer of 2011, and expired in the summer of 2014. Gasol, on the other hand, is 60 million for 3 years, signed on 2009/12/23, effective in the summer of 2011, and expired in the summer of 2014. These two guys get an average of 50 million a year from the Lakers.

Bydam's contract is 4 years 57.2 million, signed on 2008/10/29, effective in the summer of 2009, expired in the summer of 2013, and has a team option in the summer of 2012. He's going to divide about fifteen million too.

Odom wants 8.2 million a year, Artest wants 6.8 million a year, Fisher costs 3.6 million, Shannon Brown wants 2 million, and the Lakers' salaries alone are already as high as more than 85 million, if you count other players, head coaches, assistant coaches, etc., the Lakers have to pay 100 million salaries a year, which makes them unable to sign Wang Meng with a big contract.
