Chapter Seventy-Two: Xiao He Moon: Chasing Han Xin
Before the death of the elder Bass.
Lakers management has always been wise.
After all, since 1980.
The Lakers have been among the championship contenders for a long time.
5 crowns in 10 years in the era of magic.
Three consecutive championships in the OK period.
Kobe Bryant's era won two consecutive championships.
At that time, the head of the lake pipe was Jerry West.
A genius who once led the Lakers against the Celtics.
The silhouette is called the NBA LOGO of the man.
After the death of the elder Bass.
The Bass family is mired in infighting.
Bad operations are endless.
Less shrewd and domineering in the past.
There is a lot more flashiness, as well as incomprehension.
Kobe Bryant's good form at the end of his career.
In fact, it was greatly wasted by the Lakers management.
Although Kobe Bryant can no longer be the first man in the league at the MVP level.
But shine for the system like Duncan.
It can be done.
It's a pity that the lake pipe can't do it.
Didn't Kobe Bryant complain about this?
There must be.
From 10 to 16 years.
Six years.
Riding through injuries and failures.
Once ignited hope.
In the end, it continued to shatter.
For him who is proud.
The blow was very big.
Originally, Kobe Bryant had dropped everything.
I want to say goodbye this season.
As a result, fate gave him a slight turnaround.
A genius has arrived.
The newborn sun is just showing its light.
As a result, the lake pipe began to behave again!
Kobe Bryant shook his head at Kupchak and said, "If you miss the king, you will definitely regret it in the future." And, you're going to be a big joke in NBA history, a big school boy who missed out on such a talent for a base salary contract! ”
Bryant is not a businessman's mindset.
He looks at things purely from a basketball perspective.
Wang Shuang's performance in the last few games has been genius.
As for why he was defeated before.
Why just a short-term contract player.
None of that matters.
What matters is how he is now.
And what the future holds.
In this regard, Kobe's thinking is much stronger than that of Lake Pipe and Bass Jr.
Kupchak felt that Bryant was right and asked, "That's... So what should we do now? I called Wang Shuang and asked him to come back. ”
Kobe Bryant said, "Forget it, I'll go find him." He shouldn't have gone far, he doesn't drive, I'm going to chase him. ”
With that, Bryant left the office.
Then go to the parking lot and drive.
He knew that Wang Shuang came to train on foot every day.
The direction in which his family lives is also known to Kobe.
Bryant drove slowly on the road.
Finally saw Wang Shuang on the side of the road.
He rolled down the window and said, "Hey, King! King! ”
Wang Shuang looked back and saw that it was Kobe.
"Hey, Corvo, what's wrong? Have you switched to taxis? ”
"Yes, taxi, I'll give you a ride."
"No, I'll be there in front."
"Come on! I have something to say to you! ”
With that, Wang Shuangcai got into the car.
After getting into the car, Bryant turned around and drove towards the Toyota Center.
"Hey, the training is over, I'm not going to practice today."
"I know, but I want to talk to you. I heard that you rejected Kupchak's contract. ”
"yes, they gave too little, I think I deserved better."
"Yes, you're right. I just talked to Kupchak and he regretted it. Don't try out with another team, it's for you, isn't it? ”
Kobe Bryant said with Wang Shuang.
Wang Shuang still felt very >> in his heart
[Reading updates load slowly, there are ads, chapters are incomplete, please exit Reading and read!] 】
Excited.
I am bent on robbing the boss.
And the boss cares about him.
This boss is very reluctant to rob it.
Seeing that Wang Shuang was silent.
Bryant continued: "Didn't you say you wanted to be the boss of the team? If you're good enough, don't mind having the Lakers on your team. ”
Wang Shuang's eyes lit up.
I thought, "Is this still Kobe?" ”
"Of course I want to stay, I've just achieved something here, and I call this place home," he said. And, we're on the right path, aren't we? If you can bring the Lakers to the playoffs this season, it will definitely be a great achievement. If you can do that, I even think you can play for another two years, don't you? ”
Wang Shuang's words also spoke to Kobe's heart.
Previously, Wang Shuang said that he could play in the playoffs.
Bryant discussed it with management.
Hopefully they can trade.
Fight for more good players for the Lakers.
But Bass Jr. said he would consider it.
Now the Lakers are getting better and better.
The first eight are getting closer.
Before the trading deadline.
The Lakers might actually be able to trade.
to get a playoff chance.
Kobe Bryant really wanted to play in the playoffs again.
As for what Wang Shuang said, play two more seasons?
Kobe Bryant didn't think about it for a while.
After all, they all said that they would retire after this season.
The whole league is doing a retirement tour for him.
In the end, if you don't retreat, you still want to continue fighting?
What is this? Ate and vomited?
Isn't that as untrustworthy as James?
"Wang Shuang, don't think so far ahead, let's sign the contract first and stay. If you play well enough, the Lakers are your team, and you're the real boss. ”
It's really not easy to get Kobe Bryant to say such things.
On the one hand, it shows that Wang Shuang's performance impressed Kobe Bryant.
On the other hand, it shows that Kobe's mentality is indeed different from the past.
No longer young and vigorous, you must be the boss.
Instead, focus on promoting younger generations.
Kobe Bryant really wants to carry his back.
The old man leads the newcomer, step by step.
It's a pity that those newcomers before the Lakers.
Randall, Russell and the like.
Which one is worth mentioning?
Finally met Wang Shuang.
Bryant's elder mentality was completely stimulated.
Of course, he must know that Wang Shuang has been secretly poking and poking in his heart to replace him.
I don't know what I'm thinking.
Soon, it was back at the Toyota Center.
Bryant took Wang Shuang back to the office.
Kupchak took the initiative to get up to greet him this time.
No further rambling, the contract is ready.
The price of double base salary, sign until the end of the season.
And the terms are very relaxed, and there are no requirements for the number of appearances or anything.
Wang Shuangzai carefully read the contract.
He doesn't have an agent, and he has to handle everything himself.
When looking at the contract, Bryant asked, "Do you want me to introduce you to an agent?" My agent, Pelinka, is a nice guy. ”
"Really? I can think about it, I do need a broker. ”
Wang Shuang thought to himself, and his contract will be bigger and bigger in the future.
It definitely needs a professional to take care of it.
So, it is also very important to have a good broker.
Pelinka he had heard of and known Kobe Bryant for more than ten years.
Very good at fighting for the interests of the players.
He was one of the more famous things back then.
It is to encourage the player Boozer in his hand to be the anti-bone boy.
Promise the Cavaliers first, and then go to the Jazz to get a big contract.
It's certainly not authentic.
But it does work for the best of the players.
Hearing Wang Shuang say this, Kobe Bryant said: "Okay, there is a party tonight, at seven o'clock, many celebrities in Los Angeles will attend." I'll take you with me, Pelinka too. Sign a new contract for you and celebrate. ”
