Chapter 16: New System, New Rewards!

Not so long ago, in Jim Bass's office.

He and Jim Bass, in the presence of their lawyers, signed their names on the contract in duplicate.

He will sign a two-year, $6 million contract with the Lakers for two years, fully guaranteed, with no team option.

He has a good relationship with Mike Brown, knowing that Mike Brown's contract with the Lakers is 4 years and 18.25 million, with a team option in the final year, and an average annual salary of 4.56 million.

D'Antoni's annual salary with the Lakers, he doesn't know, but it should be a lot higher than Mike Brown.

Because D'Antoni's annual salary when he was with the Suns was $6 million.

In 2011, the NBA media counted the annual salary ranking of NBA head coaches, and D'Antoni ranked first, 6 million.

In second place is Celtics head coach Doug Reaves, 5.5 million.

Cavaliers' head coach, Byron Scott, tied for second.

Lakers head coach Phil Jackson's annual salary of 5 million can only rank fourth.

However, Phil Jackson's contract is different, he took the initiative to reduce his salary to 5 million, and his previous year's contract was 12 million, after all, he is half of his own family.

Also, several big coaches in the NBA, George Karl got 4.5 million in 2011, Popovich got 4 million, Adelman got 3 million, and Rick Carlisle got 3 million.

Although two years have passed, there is definitely inflation.

Even so, the salary level of a newcomer like Du Kang in the NBA, which is generally between 1 million and 1.5 million, is reasonable.

3 million, in the current NBA, is the salary line of famous coaches.

At that time, after Du Kang read the contract, he asked.

"Isn't the contract a bit too high?"

Jim snorted haughtily.

"That's the lowest head coach salary I've ever given away."

Du Kang was suppressed by Jim Shu's arrogant domineering at that time, and he was speechless.

He felt high.

In Jim's eyes, it was low.

And it's quite reasonable.

For a team like the Lakers, which head coach is not a famous coach.

I really can't open a contract below 3 million, it's too shabby, it's too low, and it's also a person who loses the name of Lakers coach.

Take more, bear more pressure, this is the Lakers.

……

……

has become the official head coach of the Lakers, and the system is going to be updated again.

Taking advantage of the time of the system update, Du Kang wanted to call for the first time and tell his father the good news.

But looking at the time, it was afternoon on the American side and early morning on the Chinese side.

After thinking about it, I forgot it.

It's already very hard for my dad to teach at a university in his hometown and help him take care of the children.

Du Kang continued to scroll through the mailing list on his phone.

Wang Xinyue.

The last time the two spoke on the phone was last week.

He's busy with the Lakers.

She was also busy at school, busy looking for a job, busy going to internships.

Du Kang thought about it, and instead of calling, texting, or WeChat, he sent a QQ message.

"Good news for you, I'm on the Lakers."

To Du Kang's surprise, the second back!

“?????”

A bunch of question marks, immediately after.

"Could it be that you were a temporary assistant coach with the Lakers?"

Seeing this, Du Kang smiled.

Oh, woman.

These days, I don't know such a big news in the NBA.

"I'm talking about going from acting head coach to full head coach."

This was followed by a bunch of question marks and exclamation marks.

It was almost five minutes before she replied again.

It seems that I went to watch the basketball news.

"I've been crazy in the last two days, I haven't paid attention to your affairs, I didn't expect you to make such a big move in the past two days, congratulations, I got what I wanted."

"Thanks, how are you doing?"

"Want to hear good news or bad news?"

"Hear the bad news first, and see if I can help you out."

Du Kang frowned worriedly, there won't be any changes, right?

"I was brushed in the interview, and the opponent has a relationship, but I can't do it."

It turned out that the application was swiped.

Du Kang breathed a sigh of relief.

"The good news?"

"Don't you comfort me at all?"

"Well, it's good for my dad to take the baby, and you will be busy as a reporter in the future, and you won't be able to go back to the Central Plains, it's okay."

"Straight man!"

How do I feel, I'm a straight man, you're quite happy?

"You haven't said good news yet."

"The good news is that I was hired by CCTV."

Oh?

Cctv?!

Du Kang was immediately excited.

"Can you come to the United States?"

"No, it's too far to go to the United States."

Du Kang gritted his teeth viciously.

"Straight daughter!"

Soon, though, Du Kang was happy.

The straight daughter who cares about the baby is very good, rest assured.

She is beautiful and pure, otherwise, Du Kang thinks that he is a very upright person, and he would not have had a baby with her so early.

Every day in the United States, Du Kang is terrified.

No one wants a tophat with a color.

"It's not all because of the baby, mainly because I'm a social reporter, I work in one set, and it's very troublesome to transfer to five."

It seems that she has thought about coming to the United States.

Du Kang typed with a smile.

"It's okay."

"Thank you for your understanding, by the way, can the baby come back for his fifth birthday?"

Du Kang looked at the calendar and sighed.

"I can't."

Immediately afterward, Du Kang wrote.

"I can go back to China on your 22nd birthday."

This is followed by a bunch of angry and bloody knife memes.

The baby's birthday is March 1st.

In the NCAA, March Madness is about to begin.

In the NBA, it's the regular season in full swing.

He really can't go back.

Four years of college, plus this year, he has never given the baby a birthday.

It's normal to be angry with your baby's mother.

"If the baby doesn't come back on his birthday, why are you coming back on my birthday!"

Every word is angry.

Du Kang smiled disappreciatively.

"I'm back to get a marriage certificate with you, I owe you two years, and I don't want to owe it anymore."

“……”

After a short silence.

"Whatever you want, it's like I'm going to get married!"

Oh, woman!

Who said they wanted to marry me when they were six years old?

He and Wang Xinyue held a wedding banquet in their hometown, which is very common in the rural areas of Central Plains Province.

After chatting with Wang Xinyue for a while, Du Kang felt that his need to share happiness had not been completely dissipated.

When he gave up going to Wall Street after graduating from college and chose to come to the Lakers, he knew it was the right choice.

But no one thinks he's right except for Dad.

Even his father, who actually supported him, probably didn't think his choice was correct.

A lot of people say that money is a bastard.

However, money is also a good thing.

In modern society, it is precisely this bastard who can most intuitively prove your success and worth.

Because there was no such bastard, Du Kang didn't even dare to marry Wang Xinyue when she was 20 years old.

How deep the pent-up emotions were.

Now the joy of the rebound is as high as it gets.

He wanted to smack, smack.

But......

It's just thinking about it.

He has always been a humble man.

Know that your joy can be shared, and you can't be embarrassed.

Sharing can get blessings, but all you get is grudges.

Therefore, the sharing of joy and the degree of sorrow must be mastered.

Therefore, Du Kang did not post on Moments, nor did he call his friends one by one to inform them.

Instead, he boarded the lake area and came to the lake area.

"I just talked a lot with Mr. Bass Jr. in Mr. Jimbus's office, and at the same time, I also signed a new two-year contract for the head coach, thank you for your support."

As soon as Du Kang finished firing, he dropped a heavy depth charge on the lake area and Ah Puff in the early morning.

"After coaching a game, you turned positive? Really? ”

Ah, the editor who rotated late at night was dumbfounded.

Du Kang's account is the account that Ah Po is focusing on now.

As long as there is any movement in Du Kang's account, Ah Pu needs to follow up immediately.

"Coach Du, who is a little handsome, this is indeed Du Kang's account, and there is no sign of stolen numbers, and the login is indeed in Los Angeles."

"But on the American side, whether it's Twitter or Lakers official, there's no movement? It's too good to turn positive in one game, and that's too much......"

Seeing that netizens in the Lake District were already enthusiastically replying at this time, many other JRS also ran to the Lake District to congratulate Du Kang.

The person in charge of Ah Pounce couldn't sit still.

"Hair, hurry up! What is true or false, have I ever verified the truth of the news before? Do I still send less rumors? Hair, send it immediately, I want the news of the signing of the world's first Lakers head coach! ”

With the order of the person in charge, the big red letter deepened on the homepage, and the headline on the front page was Du Kang's post in the Lake District.

"Congratulations to Du Kang, the first NBA head coach in Chinese history, on officially signing with the Los Angeles Lakers! 》

With the first release of the news of Ah Pu, all the major online media in China followed up.

Penguin News, Ah B, Weibo, a certain ......

In the middle of the night, the Chinese Internet world actually came to a big party.

And on the side of the United States, Ah Po is really okay, and the news that Du Kang signed with the Lakers to become a regular, Ah Po's Twitter account was also posted.

After that, a bunch of self-media and official media on Twitter, the NBA celebrity was shocked to retweet the news, which is also the official account of @Lakers.

It took almost more than ten minutes for the Lakers' official account to come out and confirm it.

The editor of the Lakers' official account is also puzzled.

They were prepared to make a careful announcement in 15 minutes.

I didn't expect the news to be released in advance, and they couldn't think about Black Jim Bass at every word, so they could only be black, let's go black.

"Mr. Jim Bass has decided to become the acting head coach of the Lakers, Du Kang, and the two sides will sign a two-year contract."

This official statement from the Lakers is interesting.

Du Kang did turn positive.

But Jim Bass was a man of his own affairs.

In the future, if Du Kang can't do it, you have to find the target of the spray.

These editors who made announcements must be Aunt Jenny's people, right?

In short, the news of the transfer of domestic sales to exports has completely boiled the public opinion circle of the NBA.

Unlike the Chinese side, where most people congratulate Du Kang, public opinion on the American side is very diverse.

It is indeed too incomprehensible and incredible.

Kings small owner O'Neal bluntly said: I have always thought that Jim is a good person, but a good person is not suitable for the NBA, and the Lakers have paid more than $20 million in termination fees to the head coach in recent years.

O'Neill: It's almost clear that Jim Bass is a loser.

Even the magician, who has always been exquisite, has a question mark on his social account.

In short, on the side of the United States, there are more opposition and incomprehension than support, and there are many more.

That kind of pressure is simply overwhelming.

However, for Ah Po, this day is definitely the pinnacle of Ah Po.

If there is such a hot scoop every day, Ah Po feels that he will be able to go public immediately.

After Ah pounced on the news of the official signing with the Lakers.

Du Kang didn't notify any of his friends, but his friends called to congratulate him, and most of them should have been sincere congratulations.

That's the difference between sharing joy and showing off joy.

If he had taken the initiative to call to 'report the good news', he would never have received such congratulations.

"Ding, the system upgrade is complete, please pay attention to check."

Just as Du Kang finished answering the call from his friends, a prompt appeared that the system upgrade had been completed.

Du Kang couldn't wait to open the system.

A system email is coming.

"Congratulations on your efforts to become the official head coach of an NBA team and the official launch of the achievement system.

Ding, congratulations on coaching an NBA team for the first time, completing the achievement, and setting off, it has been detected that the NBA team you coached for the first time is the purple team, the Los Angeles Lakers, and you will receive a purple skill draw card. ”

it, purple skill lottery card?!

Upgrade a skill from zero to purple, but it costs 10,000 MP!

Du Kang trembled and clicked on the purple skill lottery card on the system interface.

"Ding, you gain skills, the king of the pitch (purple)."
