Bill Duffy travelled to San Don Anio for an initial contact with RC Buford, after which Bill Duffy met with Li Yang. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Bill, you mean, now discuss where I'm going next season?"

Li Yang was a little surprised when he learned that many teams were starting to contact Bill Duffy now, after all, in his opinion, there were still a few months left before the end of the season, and he had never considered it.

"Yes, Young, you've been doing so well lately, and don't forget, you're only $850,000 on your salary, and a lot of teams are already waving checks waiting for you to sign this summer. ”

"Bill, do you have any advice for me?" Li Yang wanted to hear Bill Duffy's advice first, so he asked directly at this time.

"My advice to you is not at such a time. Bill Duffy shook his head, "I have to know your own thoughts, your position for the future, and then I can give you better advice to help you choose the team, you have to know that when it comes to choosing a team, the player's opinion is the most important thing, and the agent only helps with the follow-up." ”

Bill Duffy's words Li Yang understood, that is, whether he was particularly inclined to a certain aspect of the idea in his heart, and then talk about something like a contract.

After pondering for a while, Li Yang spoke: "Bill, I have to think about this problem, if I can, I hope to think about this matter again this summer, and now I hope to be able to play well and help the team defend the title." ”

"Absolutely, I agree with that. Bill Duffy nodded. Bill Duffy is telling the truth, but he thinks from a different angle than Li Yang, who wants to continue to win games and help the team defend their title.

And Bill Duffy thinks that when Li Yang's good performance can continue or have a better performance in the playoffs, Li Yang's value can rise even higher.

After all, judging from last year's playoffs, Li Yang's performance in the playoffs seems to be even better than in the regular season, and he is the kind of person who is born for the big scene.

The Spurs immediately received a message from Li Yang that they would not consider renewing the contract for the time being, which made the Spurs' management and coaching staff have some worries.

There is even such a voice in the mouths of some of the Spurs' management, in order to avoid the Spurs getting nothing after Li Yang leaves this summer, they can trade Li Yang out before the trade deadline, which can even bring a very rich return to the Spurs.

However, RC Buford and Popovich soon rejected the crazy idea, and for the Spurs, the current season is the most important, although the Spurs have won five championships, but they have never successfully defended the title, and so far this season, everything is going in a good direction, there is no need to make a mistake at this time.

Although the renewal of the contract was not negotiated, Li Yang's wallet still bulged again, and Bill Duffy came to San Don Anio this time to bring Li Yang an advertising contract, which is a men's facial cleanser that is produced in the United States but mainly aimed at the Chinese domestic market.

Because of Li Yang's recent popularity, these two advertisements will bring Li Yang $3 million a year, even more than the previous sneaker endorsements.

But obviously, this is also temporary, because Li Yang has become an All-Star starter, according to the contract agreement between Li Yang and Adidas, this summer, the contract between the two sides will need to be re-signed, and according to Li Yang's current popularity, his contract amount will definitely have a leap.

Of course, if Li Yang can win the slam dunk contest at All-Star Weekend this season, he can also directly receive a reward of $600,000.

Entering February, Li Yang really received an invitation to the league's slam dunk contest, and Li Yang naturally had no reason to refuse.

After getting Li Yang's affirmative reply, the league official announced the news to the outside world as soon as possible, and after learning that Li Yang would participate in this year's slam dunk contest, not only Li Yang's fans, but also fans of many other teams were also full of expectations.

Although not everyone likes the Spurs so much, there is one thing they do, that is, Li Yang's dunk, and now there is no need to see Li Yang's dunk performance on his home basket, which is a very happy thing for many NBA fans.

Especially this season, under the influence of the continued popularity of the video "Who's Next?", many fans have long been full of expectations for Li Yang to participate in the slam dunk contest.

Of course, fans are not just staring at Li Yang's slam dunk contest, and after entering February, most of the fans' attention is focused on the All-Star Weekend half a month later.

At this time, the list of games for the All-Star Weekend has also been announced, and the list that fans are most concerned about is the All-Star Game and the other is the Slam Dunk Contest.

In addition to the East and West starters who have been voted for in the All-Star Game, the bench list has also been determined, and on the West side, Li Yang has two teammates selected, namely Tony Parker and Tim Duncan, and the Spurs have also become one of the only two teams with three players selected for the All-Star Game, the other is the Heat.

In addition to this, the Rockets' James Harden and Dwight Howard, the Clippers' Chris Paul, the Trail Blazers' Damian Lillard, and the Timberwolves' Kevin Love were all selected.

And because of Bryant's injury, Harden was added to the starting lineup, and Anthony Davis, the leader of the New Orleans Pelicans, was added to the bench lineup.

Chris Bosh of the Heat, Roy Hibbert of the Pacers, Joakim Noah of the Bulls, DeMar DeRozan of the Raptors, Paul Millsap of the Hawks, and Joe Johnson of the Nets and John Wall of the Wizards were selected along with the selection.

In addition to Li Yang, there are also Pacers leader Paul George, Wizards leader John Wall, last season's slam dunk contest champion Terrence Rose, Trail Blazers' Damian Lillard and Kings' Ben McClymer.

In this year's slam dunk contest, there are four all-star players Li Yang, George, Wall, and Lillard participating in the dunk contest, which is also very rare in the NBA.

More than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and in the anticipation of fans, All-Star Weekend has officially arrived.

Li Yang arrived in New Orleans a day earlier with three other teammates, in addition to Parker and Duncan, who are also going to participate in the All-Star Game, and Belinelli, who needs to participate in the three-point contest. (To be continued.) )
