While Gilbert, Levin and Ohio ZF representatives were in the "three-way talks", there was also a conversation between LeBron's team and LeBron.

"Don't worry, man, wait another three or five days, as long as Li Wan announces his joining the Clippers, Gilbert will have to agree even if he doesn't want to agree to our requests......"

A few days ago, the LeBron James team announced their favorite home, and when they saw that there were only three teams on the list and there was no Cleveland Cavaliers, the LeBron James team immediately ridiculed Li Wan's team and didn't understand the hype.

If they come to operate Li Wan, they won't have to run the whole alliance again?

Li Wan is really a waste to give such a team of agents!

At the same time, he immediately got in touch with the management of the Cavaliers at the first time and expressed his thoughts of "the wanderer wants to return home".

Due to the continuous rumors that Li Wan and the Clippers are about to reach a signing agreement and officially join the Clippers, the Cavaliers have a substantive conversation with LeBron James in order to avoid a "bamboo basket in the trade market" in the summer.

It's just that......

I really want to sign a 1 plus 1 contract......

Is it true that if people don't get angry, they will treat others as fools?

Doesn't that mean you can leave whenever you want?

After Gilbert heard the request of LeBron's team, he was still a little hesitant, but he was determined to cooperate with Ohio ZF, he wanted to fulfill his promise and win the championship one step ahead of LeBron James.

No......

Why is this guy still so high-profile now?

Do you think it's yourself 4 years ago?

And these things, the LeBron James team does not know, they continue to be patient, trying to use patience to defeat the Cavaliers management.

Wait for the free market to finally have their own place for the "big fish".

Their conditions, Gilbert has to agree if he doesn't agree!

Maybe when the time comes, they will be able to increase the price again!

LeBron James has no idea right now......

It's not that they haven't been exposed to other team management these days, but it's only when they get in touch with those teams that they know how far their priorities in the free agency market have fallen.

But any team with a little bit of strength has a unified caliber......

We need to wait for Li Wan to completely determine the next family......

Including Cleveland, negotiations with them were also carried out after Li Wan's "parade list" came out.

So much so that the thought of him was......

Can I really stand in such a position and talk to Cleveland management?

Can......

Thinking about the Cavaliers management who were obedient in front of him in the past, he felt that there seemed to be no problem with such an operation.

He's definitely hoping for success in Cleveland, which is the team that brought him into the league, and it's so close to his hometown of Akron, so to speak, his "second home......

But now he really has fewer and fewer options to make.

So he can't be tied to the Cavaliers for too long.

His "second home" should understand him, right?

It's just that the day after he and his team fantasized that the Cavaliers management would accommodate him again and sign a 1-plus-1 contract with him, the free market, which had been quiet since the reopening, suddenly exploded a bombshell!

From ESPN's veteran reporter Balbas's tweet: "Lee Wan signed, next stop Cleveland!" ”

This news was like a sporadic small fire on the wild grassland, which was blown by a strong wind, and in just half an hour, this news swept through the entire "free trade market prairie" like a wildfire!

Almost instantly, the whole United States was boiling!

"Really? No way! ”

"Didn't you say go to the Clippers?"

"How can it be the Cavaliers? They're not on Li Wan's parade list at all, right? Fake, it must be fake! ”

……

Some people are confused, some people are surprised, and some people are surprised and questioned......

In short, all kinds of emotions filled the comment section that saw this news.

But soon, the news was officially verified.

Meantime......

ESPN and TNT's major broadcasters cut off all of their television programming almost simultaneously.

The last time there was such a grand occasion, yes, it was Michael Jordan's "I'm back"!

And now, Li Wan, who won the "4 consecutive championships", enjoys the same treatment.

All the viewers who were watching all the channels on these two platforms unexpectedly watched Li Wan's figure appear on the TV.

Looking at the smile on his face, waiting for him to speak.

At this moment, they couldn't help but get nervous.

Under the host's signal, Li Wan said calmly: "Yes, I have already decided on my next home, as a player who came out of Ohio, now I want to go back to that place and let everyone know what kind of place it is!" ”

After saying this, the Ohioan in front of the TV couldn't help but have a sour nose......

Compared to New York and Los Angeles, Miami and Chicago, even Golden State, Houston or Philadelphia, Ohio can't find a city that can match them.

No matter how stubborn the Ohioians may be, they have to admit that they are not the center of the United States, not even a place in the center of the country......

When it comes to Ohio, the only thing that comes to mind is probably industry......

But in fact, Ohio is really not just an industry, the education, resources, and culture of the "capital" Columbus are no worse than Seattle, and the pressure here is also very high, but ......

Nobody cares!

Now Levan is back in Ohio for that......

He is an Ohio hero, and the heart-warming blow at this moment makes Ohioans feel:

Cleveland......

Is he worthy of such a Li Wan?

Even they don't think Clevelands are worthy, let alone the outside world, and all kinds of invective against Cleveland are overwhelming. In particular, New York State has been the most critical.

In their opinion, forget about Los Angeles, this Cleveland really doesn't deserve it!

At the thought that their Giegie was going to suffer in a place where birds don't, they wanted to cut Dolan with a thousand knives, and at the same time wanted to refine lard from the big Russian boss of the Nets next door and make soup for Giegie.

Aren't you very rich?

Why can't you see Li Wan's face?

Cleveland fans have just two words to say about these voices:

Eat one's heart out!

When they learned that Li Wan was going back to Ohio, their first reaction was to hurry up and buy tickets.

Almost within 10 minutes of Lee Wan announcing his "decision", all the Cavaliers' packages for the new season were sold.

At the same time, all the Cavaliers fans poured into the streets and celebrated excitedly.

It's no wonder that after waiting for so long, they finally looked forward to Li Wan, the current "face of the alliance" and "four-time champion", how can they suppress their emotions?

Signs of the city's revival were recorded by reporters rushing to the country in a hurry, and even the official "News Network" at 7 o'clock reported that Cleveland had fallen into a frenzy because of Leewan's arrival.

The movie channel, known as the "Six Princesses", broadcast two movies in prime time that night, one is "Li Wan 1" starring Li Wan, and the other is called ......

"Reigning in the World"!

In addition, Weibo's hot search function just launched for the first time appeared "exploded", and the entire Weibo was paralyzed, and Weibo's programmers collectively dispatched to save more than ten hours before Weibo resumed normal operation.

But just as the programmers were sorting out what little bangs they had left, another piece of news came from the United States, which paralyzed the entire Weibo again......

"The Cavaliers are moving to Columbus in two years?"

"No wonder Li Wan will announce his joining the Cavaliers, it turns out that such an agreement has been reached?"

"I said, why do you have to go to Cleveland, dare to be like this!"

"Brother Wan is so awesome, this is also the first player in NBA history to relocate the team, right?"

……

There has been a lot of discussion in China, and there is a clearer understanding of Li Wan's influence in the United States.

Anyway, this thing sounds outrageous, but it's such an outrageous thing, but because Li Wan happened, what else is there to say? The four words to describe it are:

Li Wanliu criticized!

And in the United States, when the news came out of the league, similarly, the Clippers management, who didn't understand Li Wan's choice, especially the Clippers management who wanted to know where they were wrong, immediately lost their voices.

For Lao Mei, who attaches importance to the "geographical plot", they know very well that the main focus of this trick is a "sincerity", and "sincerity" is an eternal nirvana.

When Ballhammer found out about this, he wanted to call Gilbert directly and give him a pick on "666".

He has only one sentence to evaluate the whole thing:

It's still a money lender who can play!

Why didn't he think of moving the Clippers to Columbus to attract Lee Wan to join?

As far as the Lakers' posture in Los Angeles is concerned, the Clippers have every reason to do so.

He lost, and he lost convincingly.

Even the Clippers, who are closest to Leewan, are convinced, let alone the rest of the league.

They can only admire the flowers that Gilbert plays.

That's it......

The people of Cleveland, who had just been excited, were stunned.

Although Columbus is not far from Cleveland, it can be reached in two and a half hours by car......

Can......

What's going on with the direct relocation?

Their hearts suddenly felt a little more uncomfortable.

Whether this Li Wanlai is good or bad, they really can't say for a while.

But at this time, Gilbert explained in a "letter to fans" through the Cavaliers' official website: "Originally, I was going to move the Cavaliers to Columbus for the new season, and I had to do this in order to win the championship first than LeBron, but Levan stopped me, and he told me that he wanted to see if he could bring a championship trophy to Cleveland and then leave...... Honestly, I'm grateful to him, he's here for Ohio, but he's also willing to make amends for Cleveland...... So if you have to blame for everything, blame me! I want to win LeBron James, that's all......"

Thousands of words are sprinkled, and the words are full of true feelings.

After reading the letter, the Cavaliers fans were all in tears.

After figuring out the cause and effect, their mood towards Li Wan changed again:

Such a gentle person, even if the Cavaliers leave, how can the responsibility be on him?

But there's no blame on Gilbert, who, as he said, wants to win LeBron James too much, and only by doing so can he attract "LeBron's nemesis" Levan to join......

To win, give it all!

This man has carried too much on him, and it's not his fault!

That can only be ......

"LeBron blames you!"

"You've ruined this home!"

"I curse you to be crownless for the rest of your life!"

Cleveland fans thought of the end and took all their anger out on LeBron James, if he hadn't gone, nothing would have happened now.

So......

It's all LeBron's fault!

Gilbert looked at the "woken" Cleveland man with satisfaction, and that was exactly what he wanted to see.

Among the many agreements he made with the Ohio ZF, he ensured that Li Wan would not be saddled with infamy in Cleveland, and he was among them. After all, if the Cavaliers really move away from Cleveland, some extreme Cavaliers fans may blame Li Wan for the fault.

"Sons of Ohio" cannot be slandered out of thin air.

Gilbert successfully solved this problem with a "contradiction transfer technique".

As for his own profits, let's just say that the casinos in Cincinnati and Cleveland, with the support of Ohio ZF, will open ahead of schedule, and Ohio ZF has given him a piece of land in other cities in Ohio that he can use to develop the land......

And that's just one of them.

It can be said that he and his company made a lot of money this time by relocating the team, although they were more firmly bound to Ohio ZF, but they were originally in the same boat, so ......

Hey, another piece of good news!

The mood of the Cleveland people went from complicated to moving.

LeBron James and his team were completely confused.

From Li Wan's announcement to join the Cavaliers, to the official approval of the Cleveland Cavaliers' relocation plan......

It was as if they had been struck by lightning one after another.

Before they decided to leave the Cavaliers and head to Miami, "hometown basketball" was already part of their future plans and an important tool they used to turn public opinion.

Think about it, the successful LeBron, but he has not forgotten to fulfill his promise to return to the border town of Cleveland and strive to bring the championship to the city, whether he succeeds in the end or not, he will move the whole country.

If it succeeds, it will be even more remarkable!

When the time comes, as long as they advertise well, what "1 plus 1" contract renewal, what "take LeBron to make the Cavaliers sign 8 plus 8 players under their own agent for 80 million", no one will care at all!

He's all back, what's wrong with satisfying him with some conditions?

That's the power of media propaganda.

As long as I stand on the moral high ground in advance, then no matter what I do, it will be a "righteous act"!

But now, Li Wan joined the Cavaliers, directly cutting off his way back to the Cavaliers.

If Li Wan brings the first championship in team history to the Cavaliers......

Then his "hometown basketball" script didn't move the whole country so much.

Well, the worst thing is ......

He may not even have the possibility of implementing this script now.

Because, regardless of whether Li Wan succeeds in leaving the championship for the Cavaliers, two years later, the Cavaliers will relocate to Columbus!

This Nima not only cut off the road for him, but also directly shoveled off his land!

I......

No roots?

Panic filled LeBron James's mind.

He looked at his team of agents and sent a signal with eager eyes:

What to do? What do we do now? Let's think of a way!

999！

LeBron's team covered their heads and thought for a long time, and finally came up with this idea:

Wow......

It's so ruthless!

Gilbert is so ruthless!

He even agreed to such a request......

They suddenly felt that their approach at that time seemed to be a little excessive, if their requirements were not so harsh, they signed not a "1 plus 1" renewal contract, but a "2 plus 1" renewal contract......

Wouldn't Gilbert be so "jumping off the wall" in a hurry?

The outcome of this problem, no one knows.

Even Gilbert didn't know.

He only knew that he was hesitating at that time, and when he weighed and couldn't get Li Wan, he should let go of his hatred, and as a result, LeBron's team's request made him "hate and hate", which catalyzed his current operation!

And the LeBron team doesn't have time to dwell on this problem, which they need to solve more than these things......

It's the next step!

Meanwhile.

The Ohio Four are also on video calls.

One by one, that's called an excitement.

Columbus has a team, and Oden once again expressed his desire to join forces with Li Wan, and when Mike Conley heard it, he immediately couldn't wait to say: "I want it too, I want it too!" ”

Cook ruthlessly debunked them: "You guys want to mix championship rings, right?" ”

As soon as Oden heard this, he was not happy at the time, what is a "mixed championship ring"?

For Columbus to win the first championship in team history, can that also be called a mix?

"Think about it, the Ohio four won the first NCAA championship trophy in history for Ohio State University, and now they are winning the first championship trophy in team history for Columbus, this story...... How legendary it must be! ”

I have to say that Oden has not been in vain in the league over the years, and his temperament is getting more and more oily!

Just tell me, with these people, how can Li Wan learn well?

Li Wan felt that he had become the way he is now, and the main responsibility was in these three people!

However, this topic is also said and has not continued.

The two of them just had this idea because the team was moving to Columbus. It's not really that desperate to join forces with Li Wan. They each have one year left on their contracts, so it's not too late to make a choice after that year or wait until the team actually goes to Columbus......

Compared to them, Cook is the one who is more anxious.

Cook's contract with the New York Knicks also expired this summer, and he completely lost himself on the cold bench last year, and now he can't be said to be unwanted in the free market, only that no one wants it.

He became like this, and Li Wan was also a little responsible.

As a brother, with such a lot of power, it's no problem for him to mix up the basic salary contract.

Besides, if you really want to say it, isn't Cook's ability to hit a water dispenser more than enough?

"Man, if you don't dislike it, let's continue to work together with the Cavaliers in the new season?"

When Cook heard this, a thousand words turned into two words: "Thank you!" ”

There was a whole day of turmoil, during which there were cries from Los Angeles and Orlando respectively, as for New York, the "capital of crime", it was much simpler, and there were more venting cases similar to "zero yuan purchases", and countless people took to the streets to demand that Dolan sell the New York Knicks in his hand:

"He doesn't deserve the Knicks!"

"Dolan get out of New York!"

"Dolan, I* your mother!"

……

New York, which was full of vigor under the "Lewan era", became a "borderland" in an instant, and something even crazier happened 2 days later, when news came from Moscow that Dolan was suspected of being shot.

Crazy New Yorkers actually chased to Moscow.

And in New York, the New Yorkers who heard the news were excited, and they ran up to Dolan's field to "smash and rob".

Dolan hurriedly issued an emergency statement through his own television station: "That's fake, I'm not being attacked!" ”

At the same time, he apologized to Li Wan again.

This time, the attitude is much better than last time.

There is no way, he has been frightened for so many days, and his whole person looks a lot haggard, you can imagine how much he has suffered during this time......

At the same time, he also said:

"I hereby promise to build a sculpture for Levan in front of Madison Square Garden, and to retire the No. 25 jersey for him, whether he returns to New York in the future......"

"And all the players who made outstanding contributions to the team during the 4 consecutive championship years of the New York Knicks, no matter what reason you left the Knicks, I will retire the jersey for you, it is a great era, but I ruined it all, I'm sorry......"

In the end, tears flowed down.

With such a posture, Dolan can be said to have completely put his face at Li Wan's feet and let him trample on it.

The New York Times commented:

"If you knew today, why bother in the first place!"

In fact, even in the most prosperous state of New York, the economic growth in the "Lee Wan era" was obvious.

At the same time, Li Wan also changed the neurological outlook of New York, this "peeing city" is no longer so uncivilized, and with his help, the shelter has also allowed more displaced people to have temporary shelter, and the entire street is "cleaned" a lot.

Although the poor still exist, they look like they don't exist......

The all-round development of "morality, intelligence, physical fitness, art and labor" is the change that Li Wan has brought to the city.

But now......

With Dolan's drunken abuse, everything goes back to 4 years ago......

Li Wan is gone, and at the same time, he takes with him everything that has changed positively in the city.

No, it should be said......

His departure not only took away all the changes of the past four years, but also made the city lose its faith and become more dangerous!

Li Wan did not have any response to this matter.

The day after announcing his joining the Cavaliers, Li Wan met with Griffin, the general manager of the Cavaliers.

Negotiate contractual matters.

Griffin is completely unfettered, and Levan has been playing in the league for eight years, and according to league rules, he can sign a contract with a starting salary of 30% of the salary cap.

The salary cap for the new season is 63.065 million!

30% of it is 18,916,500!

Plus the maximum annual increase of 8%.

Li Wan signed with the Cavaliers for five years for 18.9165 million, 20.4295 million, 22.0639 million, 23.829 million, and 25.7353 million...... A total of 5 years and a maximum salary contract of about 110 million.

Among them, the first four years are normal contracts, and the fifth year Li Wan has the right to jump out of the contract.

This contract allowed Li Wan to unlock the title of "Mr. 100 Million Yuan".

However, Li Wan knows very well that next summer, the new broadcast contract will come into effect, and the league's salary cap will rise, and the "100 million yuan contract" will be worthless......

So I didn't feel much of it.

In addition, in this contract, Li Wan has the "right to refuse to trade".

Although with Li Wan's influence, no matter who he is, even if he has no brains, it is impossible to take the initiative to trade him, but this is the standard configuration of every supergiant. In these years, anyone who is a "supergiant" and does not have this right is embarrassed to go out to say hello.

Li Wan finally has this "superstar clause" in his third contract of his career.

The contract extension was quickly approved by the league, and Lewan officially became a player for the Cavaliers.

This once again caused a wail from the outside world.

At the same time, the free market is gradually surging, and the biggest "fish" has a next home, so it's time to try to grab other portions that are not so sufficient, but they can also be regarded as big "big fish"!

Lee Wan studied the Cavaliers' lineup.

Gilbert is planning for this summer, so what Griffin has been doing for the past two years is cleaning up bad assets, and the current Cavaliers lineup is:

2011 "Champion" Kyrie Irving;

Tristan Thompson, the No. 4 pick in the first round in 2011 and the "best defensive player nemesis" who won 80 million contracts with 8 points and 8 rebounds in the future;

2012 first-round pick Dion Vitesse;

Cody Zeller, the 4th pick in the first round in 2013;

and this year's "Champion" Andrew Wiggins;

The rest, as well as the "queen" Vallejo with an annual salary of 9.7 million next season;

Earl Clark, the 14th pick in the first round in '09;

And then......

No more!

It has to be said that Griffin is indeed an expert in cleaning up bad assets.

But looking at this lineup, Li Wan had a headache.

Because at first glance, they are all "problem players".

Needless to say, "Ou Shenxian", the main thing is that an ordinary person can't understand, and he is unrepentant, the key is that he is still very hard in the background, and he can retreat from the "red cordon" of the Jews with multiple buffs, which shows how terrible his skin color and the energy behind his religion are.

Dion Vitesse can be seen as a copy of Ricky Davis, the original LeBron James returned to the Cavaliers with "the spirit of a king", Vions is not a bird, and if he dares to pass the ball to him, he dares to shoot. In the end, the Cavaliers traded him, and the farce of the battle for the right to shoot came to an end.

Thompson is working the court for a big contract, but the "soap opera" he mixed up with Khloe Kardashian is also a big problem.

Although Odom ended his career in New York due to the influence of the "butterfly effect" at the moment, the relationship with Khloe Kardashian has not reached the point of problems. But as far as Odom's urine is concerned, it is certain that he and Kardashian will not go to the end.

Odom is no different from Howard, he can't control his lower body.

Maybe Odom is a little more serious......

Therefore, it is a matter of time before Khloe Kardashian divorces, and it is also a matter of time before she gets involved with Thompson.

Cody Zeller hadn't heard of anything wrong, but this was an ordinary substitute and embarrassing.

Vallejo belongs to the style of interior player who is about to be eliminated by the era.

As for Earl Clark, it is a typical "non-three-and-four" parallel import of the league.

In college, he was once considered the "next Odom", but it turns out that the talent of the "prostitution king" is not just a random person.

Other words......

Looking at it in a circle, this year's "champion" Wiggins can be regarded as a helper......

Although Wiggins has a lack of fighting spirit.

But what happened when he went to the Warriors proved that the environment in which the team grew up could have an impact on him.

In a team with a harmonious atmosphere and a positive attitude, Wiggins can be a "quality second-in-command", and he can be trusted on both the offensive and defensive ends.

As Li Wan, who has successfully transformed too many people, he is confident enough to keep Wiggins on the right track from the start!

Because......

Building a positive team couldn't be easier for him, the "five-time champion".

As long as he has a "cloud-piercing arrow"......

Or, he is not required to fire a "crossing arrow......

As he reached a new contract extension with the Cavaliers, his followers came uninvited.

For example, Chris Bosh and Kwame Brown asked their agents to call Griffin in the first place.

Griffin was overjoyed when he received the call, but his first reaction was to call Li Wan.

Don't ask why the posture is so upright, ask him specifically asked Donnie Walsh for advice, how to become a high-quality team general manager in Li Wan's eyes!

Donnie Walsh has just one thing to say:

Give enough respect!

What is the ......

Griffin understands in seconds.

No, it's already been respected!

When Li Wan knew the news, he was not surprised, this was originally a tacit thing.

Kwame Brown won't talk about it.

Chris Bosh is so happy to work with him, and he has rediscovered himself by his side, how can you say he didn't come to Li Wan?

Griffin offered a four-year, $90 million contract with a maximum salary. In fact, signing with other teams, Chris Bosh can get a big contract of at least 100 million, but thinking about the happy time spent with Li Wan, Chris Bosh did not hesitate at all.

10 million ......

It's hard to buy a happy one!

After three years with the Heat, Chris Bosh now understands that playing in a comfortable environment is the most important thing!

At least, more than money!

Kwame Brown got a three-year, $15 million contract.

Although he has maintained his good form at a high level of competition over the years, he is 32 years old after all......

At the same time as he got the contract between the two people, Li Wan invited his new teammates to his home in the name of moving. It is also an opportunity to observe the reaction of these people to their arrival.

There is nothing wrong with most people's attitudes, especially Wiggins, when he saw Li Wan, he grinned and opened his mouth stupidly, and kept scratching the back of his head, looking at this Yao Chen-like big mouth, and the talent visible to the naked eye under this simple appearance, Li Wan only had four words of satisfaction in his heart:

My Pippen!

Except for Kyrie Irving.

This guy rejected Li Wan's invitation in one fell swoop, the reason is:

It's Ramadan, don't disturb!

Li Wan is very satisfied with this attitude, it is good to have personality!

Then he was ready to discuss with Griffin, "Take Yi as a special".

But before he could do it, Griffin made a phone call, and he already knew about it from the report. - Now the eyes of the whole world are staring at Cleveland, the news that Li Wan invited new teammates to come to his home as guests has been reported by many media, and sharp-eyed netizens found that there was no Owen in the photo.

What kind of demon is this kid?

This was the first reaction of Cleveland people after learning the news.

Although during the season last season, Owen expressed his attitude of "not recruiting Li Wan", but now that everyone is teammates, you actually refuse to be thousands of miles away?

No......

Why are you?

Barkley scolded directly: "The first two words to understand in this alliance are respect!" ”

Standing in front of you is Li Wan, the founder of the alliance's "5 crowns", "4 consecutive championships", and the "first person in the alliance", refuse his invitation, how dare you?

Is there a little more respect?

In fact, Li Wan knows very well that Owen is not necessarily targeting himself, but in his heart, faith is greater than everything!

Therefore, his rejection was not directed at Li Wan, but at all people in this period, and only in front of his faith would he nod and say "yes".

But he obviously miscalculated the exposure of the Cleveland Cavaliers in the entire league at this moment, and he thought it was the Cavaliers who were unattended last season, he couldn't have imagined that the arrival of Li Wan, this bit of could make the whole United States jump, and by the time he found out that something was wrong, the outside world had already turned the world upside down.

One by one, they pressed his head and demanded that he apologize.

Obviously, the gang didn't know Owen's temper.

This is not a guy who will cooperate with a strong head.

His temper also came up, and he called Griffin directly:

Trade me, immediately, immediately!

Griffin, who had already moved the "murderous intent", did not expect to be "counter-generalized", but it was just right, so as to avoid Li Wan might be put on the hat of "excluding dissidents".

Now, if Owen leaves, he will do it on his own initiative, not by Griffin.

However, he still reported the matter to Li Wan.

When Li Wan found out, he was not surprised, and he did not have the heart to keep it.

Irving is a typical "ball-possession" player.

The advantage is that he is good at hitting key shots!

Some superstars lack these abilities, even to the point where they can't win the championship if they lack them.

But Li Wan himself is a ball-handling offensive player, and key balls are also what he is good at.

Therefore, he does not need this kind of "Jordan Kobe" style of second-in-command.

Compared with Irving, Wiggins is the "second master" potential stock that Li Wan is more optimistic about.

The only problem is that it takes some time to develop Wiggins, even though he averaged 16.9 points and 4.4 rebounds per game in his rookie season, it will take time to translate that data into a game-impacting effect.

Just like Kevin Love averaged 26 points and 13 rebounds per game, the Timberwolves are still at the bottom of the league.

Sometimes the data can really deceive people!

There was a storm on his side, and the league officially signed a new broadcast contract with ESPN, which was 28 billion for 9 years, which was 4 billion higher than the original broadcast contract of the same period, and dozens of times more expensive than the previous contract!

All these changes, undoubtedly, all come from Li Wan's "4 consecutive championships......

Whether it is forcing ESPN to quote in advance, or constantly increasing the price later, almost every time the chips rise, Li Wan is doing something.

Of course, ESPN also added a secret clause to the lucrative broadcast contract that only ESPN's boss and David Stern knew:

The number of "All-American Live" broadcasts of Li Wan's team cannot be less than 40 per season.

The reason why the ESPN boss did this is also because of the "lessons from the past"!

That year, on April 18, 1993, NBC and the NBA renewed the second 4-year 892 million US dollar new contract, which came into effect for the 94 to 98 seasons, but just signed the contract in April 93, Jordan announced his retirement in August of the same year, and NBC suffered heavy losses for a while;

Then in October 97, the NBA and NBC again reached a new broadcast contract of 1.616 billion US dollars for four years in 98-02, which took effect from the 98-99 season, but in the summer of 98, Jordan retired for the second time, and then the 98-99 season was delayed for nearly half a year because of the shutdown, and NBC suffered heavy losses again!

NBC, which lost its underwear, only dared to give a 4-year 1.3 billion broadcast contract when it renewed its contract in 02.

Because in '03 Michael Jordan is retiring again!

It was also at this time that ESPN and ABC submitted a 4-year 2 billion broadcast contract to the league, just in time for another "prosperous era" of the NBA, coupled with the rise of the Internet, ESPN broke out of the encirclement.

Right now, Li Wan's current influence is here, witnessing another "god of basketball", just in the next few years. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is another wave of "bonus period", which is why ESPN dares to quote 28 billion in 7 years.

But how similar is the current situation to the 90s?

If Li Wan also retired, what can be expected......

Ratings have absolutely plummeted!

Li Wan now seems to be not a "retired enthusiast", but in order to maximize Li Wan's value, as the broadcaster, they asked the NBA to give at least 40 "national live broadcasts" to Li Wan, which is not a very excessive request.

——If during the contract period, Li Wan's "national live broadcast" per season does not reach 40 games, then the broadcast fee will be deducted according to the percentage of the missing!

Just point out:

All this extra money was smashed for Li Wan!

David Stern looked at the above deduction of up to 10% of the broadcast fee, and secretly said, you know, according to this contract, the 10% fee is as high as 400 million......

However, he did not hesitate and signed the contract.

The reason is also simple......

Give Li Wan 40 "national live broadcasts", even if ESPN doesn't mention this, he will do it, in terms of Li Wan's influence, he deserves such specifications!

The broadcast contract is officially finalized!

As soon as the news came out, everyone was excited.

Although compared with 69 billion in 7 years of football, it is still at the level of a younger brother, but compared with the broadcast contract renewal contract between MBL and the NHL league in the same year, it is really a big brother level!

The first two leagues until 2020 have broadcast contracts of 3.2 billion for 7 years and 2.8 billion for 7 years respectively......

In fact, it can be seen from here what a wise path the NBA's "internationalization" is!

David Stern had already seen it back in the 90s, following the rugby butt to seek development, that you can't even drink soup, you have to go out!

It was also this broadcast contract that made the whole United States realize that the NBA, which was at the bottom of the "four major leagues" in the United States and was on the verge of bankruptcy, actually achieved "corner overtaking" and reached the second position in the "four major leagues"!

Although the national situation of the United States means that they should sit in the position of "second child".

But thinking about how they have changed over the years, it makes people feel that this is a miracle!

It is also this broadcast contract that has made some stars who are ready to jump out of the contract choose to fight for another year, and by next summer, they will happily sign a big contract.

The alliance also made several big deals during this period.

The Magic announced a complete rebuild, trading Howard to the Brooks Nets for Big Lopez.

Howard's partner Chris Paul made people reverie for a while.

Except for Paul Pearce......

He tweeted: No one can win a championship with Chris Paul!

Although the tweet was deleted less than 1 minute after it was posted, it ......

It was still screenshotted by someone with a heart.

Chris Paul has a deeper grudge with Pierce.

Pity......

Nobody cares.

It's a three-way deal.

The Magic didn't get Lopez, they got a first-round pick from the Nets (when asked why the Nets only gave one, Billy King had already been squeezed out by Angie), and then got a first-round pick from the Raptors and gave them Lopez.

The Raptors instantly formed a "trio" of DeRozan, Lowry and Lopez.

The Raptors, who reached the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs last season, are even more exciting.

Then came the news from Miami that they renewed the contract of the "old wolf king" for 3 years and 24 million, using Kevin Garnett plus Mike Miller, and next year's first-round pick, from the Timberwolves in exchange for the "new wolf king" Kevin Love.

Love has grown well in Minnesota and has become an All-Star interior player in the West, but he has been slow to lead the team to a successful game, which has made the Timberwolves management team lose patience.

It just so happened that Kevin Garnett encountered a big bump in his life, and his personal reputation plummeted.

Seeing this, Glenn Taylor, the owner of the Timberwolves who is seeking change, asked the management to take the initiative to contact the Heat, and he wants to take the "old wolf king" home!

When Li Wan knew the news, he couldn't help but secretly say:

Kevin Garnett's life is really good enough!

Many fans know Mark Cuban's "love story" with Dirk Nowitzki.

But in fact, Glenn Taylor is no less good to Kevin Garnett than Mark Cuban is to Dirk Nowitzki.

In the last three years of Kevin Garnett's career, he still had an annual salary of 8 million, which was given by Glenn Taylor. In those three years, Garnett only played about 82 games combined.

If you really count the hourly wage, that number is even more outrageous!

But Glenn Taylor had that hunch when he gave that contract, but he gave it anyway, citing the gratitude of Kevin Garnett for his dedication back then.

But the question is......

He didn't give less back then!

The famous "Timberwolves Yin and Yang Contract" is because the team salary space caused by the "100 million yuan contract" given to Kevin Garnett is not enough to vigorously recruit reinforcements, and finally took a risk, harming a "champion Lang" in his prime!

So if you really want to investigate the reason, why Glenn Taylor is so good to Kevin Garnett, Li Wan thinks......

It should be the "virgin complex" that is doing the trick!

Glenn Taylor bought the Timberwolves in '94, and the first player he drafted in '95 was Kevin Garnett!

The equivalent of his first time to Kevin Garnett......

It's a "cinnabar mole"!

Can this be forgotten?

Glenn Taylor's "virginity complex" also helped Pat Riley a lot.

Originally, he didn't know what to do this summer, but now it's okay, a peak interior player has fallen from the sky, giving Pat Riley a bargaining chip with LeBron James.

"Man, this is the man who has won the rebounding king!"

Not to mention, after Pat Riley completed the deal, LeBron and his team really had plans to stay.

The retreat has been cut off.

If he leaves now, then LeBron James's reputation will be even worse...... After all, he has also not won a championship for the Heat in the past four years.

So now, the most important thing for LeBron is to get a championship trophy and ......

It's best to win this championship with the Heat.

But here's the problem......

A Lefou, plus a Wade who has clearly fallen from his prime......

Is it really enough to win the championship?

LeBron James' team chose to go deeper with Pat Riley:

"Pat, I wonder if the Heat have a trade this summer?"

Pat Riley bluntly stated: "Of course, Kyrie Irving has fallen out with the Cavaliers and publicly requested a transfer, and I'm already in secret contact with his agent if he wants to come to the Heat......"

In the end, Pat Riley didn't go on.

But the meaning is already clear.

When LeBron James heard this, he was excited, Irving is definitely a good helper, he plus Kevin Love, in the eyes of the "Little Emperor", this is the enhanced version of the "Heat Big Three"!

Owen may be a little behind Wade in 10 years, but his age is destined to get better and better, unlike Wade, who is getting worse and worse;

Kevin Love is a completely strengthened version, and he will score three points after winning the "rebounding king", introducing ......

But soon he had another question: "Even if Kyrie Irving is willing to come to the Heat, what if the Cavaliers don't let him go?" ”

"And ......"

How can Kyrie Irving and Dwyane Wade coexist?

However, he only meditated on this question in his heart, and did not say it.

There are priorities, first solve the problem of Owen's coming, and then solve the problem of how Owen and Wade coexist!

Pat Riley slowly spat out two words:

"Wade!"

“……”

LeBron was silent, he understood what Pat Riley meant.

His silence made Pat Riley speak again: "In order to win the championship, this is the only way!" ”

LeBron James listened to his cold and ruthless tone, and secretly said in his heart: So ruthless!

But Pat Riley's words are not unreasonable, and most importantly......

In this way, the second problem is solved by the way!

LeBron James looked at his agent, and there were some things he couldn't say, and he had to be said by others.

Rich Paul understood in seconds: "This is LeBron's good brother!" ”

Pat Riley frowned slightly, he thought he had said it clearly enough, and wanted to persuade him again, but Rich Paul said again: "Just change Kyrie Irving?" ”

Pat Riley: ......

It's nice to be able to switch to Owen!

What is your good brother's performance in the Eastern Conference semifinals, don't you know in your heart?

He resisted the urge to complain, maintained his compulsion as a "god operator", and said: "Now, the most important thing we need to do is to convince Irving to agree to be traded to the Heat!" ”

day3.
