Chapter Ninety-Six: The Bus Signs a Contract Against the Bulls
Four consecutive away games, three wins and one loss, the Wizards have played a 7-1 record since the start of the season.
It was a pity to lose the game to the Spurs, breaking the Wizards' winning streak, but after Lin Yu won the Mavericks, he was relieved, and now he just wants to hurry back to the court, solve the contract problem of the bus, and give the bus "Washing the Muscles" to use, and then think about how to spend this huge amount of money in his hand.
On Sunday afternoon, Lin Yu arrived in Washington, D.C., and first approached Unselde to negotiate a contract for the bus.
Lin Yu's plan is to give the bus a 3-year guarantee contract, 500,000 US dollars per year, he mentioned this matter to Unselde before, Unselde has no opinion, as long as Lin Yu thinks it is worth it.
However, this time, when Lin Yu talked to Unselde about this matter again, Unselde looked embarrassed.
"Lin, it's not that I don't want to sign it, it's that Pauline thinks this contract is too big."
"The Owen you signed before has no value at all, but his contract is small, and Pauline only expressed his dissatisfaction a little and didn't say much."
"However, this three-year contract is worth a total of $1.5 million, and Pauline said he would not agree to anything."
"Do you want to go down?"
Unseld is only the general manager, not the owner of the team, and this kind of contract worth more than a million dollars must be questioned by Paulin.
With Paulin's slamming nature, he would certainly not be willing to give a non-draft player such a big contract.
He even suspected that this was Lin Yu's relatives in China, who specially got the dollars to cheat him.
Lin Yu not only didn't get angry, but laughed, "Descend? Okay, too. ”
"What about an unguaranteed $500,000 a year? If you don't play well, Pauline can cut him at any time. ”
"The contract is only signed for one year, and it is not signed if there are more."
Lin Yu holds "Washing the Muscles and Cutting the Marrow", the bus is destined to become a top insider, this is cheap to send to the door, Pauline refuses, and when the bus comes to the price, Pauline must have regretted his intestines.
only signed a one-year contract, and the bus next season will not be worth hundreds of thousands, and without an annual salary of tens of millions, you can't even look at the bus.
In this retro era, the center is still the most valuable player, especially the center who can attack, and the value is much higher than that of the blue-collar center.
Among the four centers, except for Ao Fat, they are all old, and it won't take long for Mo Ning to be scrapped because of kidney disease, and the bus is directly the second center in the league, not to mention tens of millions, if it weren't for the 98 labor salary negotiation and the introduction of the maximum salary regulations, it would be easy for the bus to sign a contract of 100 million yuan.
That's all attributes increased to 80 points, even if all of them are not over ninety, the strength is also extremely terrifying, if a number of attributes exceed ninety points, the bus can be just with Ao Fat.
"Then you must be ready to send that kid out of Washington at any time."
"Pauline could get rid of that kid at any time."
Unselde said with a sigh.
Lin Yu waved his hand, "Don't worry, his combat power will definitely far exceed your imagination." ”
"It only takes one game to make Pauline regret his decision, and he will even go to the bus himself to re-sign the contract."
Unselde laughed, "If that kid was as strong as you say, Pauline might have done such a cheeky thing." ”
An old man and a young man sat in the office and began to complain wildly about their boss.
After a while, Lin Yu suddenly asked, "Old man, is there any way to invest?" I have a sum of money in my hand and want to invest it. ”
"Investment? If I knew how to invest, I wouldn't be like this. ”
"Why don't you do what Magic Johnson did and invest in a café? It seems to be quite profitable. ”
"Or get a hot dog stand chain, I remember a player who made a fortune and made millions of dollars from that."
Unselde's investment suggestion directly left Lin Yu speechless, what are you kidding, I have a net worth of sixty or seventy million US dollars, you let me go to a stall to sell roast sausages?
I might as well sell roasted sweet potatoes!
Obviously, Unselde really doesn't know anything about investment, Lin Yu is in trouble, and he can't keep the money in his hand all the time, right?
The reason why the rich are getting richer and richer is because they have start-up capital, and Lin Yu has capital, but they can't find a way.
Investing in the stock market? Lin Yu doesn't know anything about the stock market, although there are professional stock managers, there is no need for Lin Yu to worry about it, but Lin Yu is also worried about being deceived.
If he went to vote for himself, he didn't have that much energy.
After thinking about it, it seems that it is most cost-effective to continue to acquire the equity of the Wizards, because after the 98 years of salary negotiations, the market value of the team has risen sharply, and it may even double, and no matter what Lin Yu makes any investment, he will not be able to achieve a 100% yield in a year.
Some people may wonder why the NBA has been suspended for half a season due to wage negotiations in 98, and the team's market value can still rise sharply?
That's because in the current NBA league, the losses are too severe and limit the value of the team.
To put it simply, the salaries of players are too high, especially in recent years, when various players are asking for sky-high prices, and 80% of the teams in the league are in the red, and the Washington Wizards are no exception.
The general environment is losses, and investors are certainly not optimistic, so the market value cannot go up.
And this negotiation in 98 limited the player's salary, resulting in the team having room for profit, and the natural market value can start to rise.
Lin Yu now wants to use this information gap to maximize his benefits.
But now is not a good time, Lin Yu's plan is to wait for the bus to hit the head, and use the bus to blackmail Lao Bolin, otherwise he will go so bluntly to acquire the equity, and I don't know how outrageous the price Lao Bolin will have to offer.
……
Leaving Unselde's office, Lin Yu went straight back to his residence, waiting for his aura to refresh tonight.
"Passive Aura (1): "Wild Charge", the effect is that the center player on the court, when he starts to hit the basket with the ball outside the three-point line, his strength attribute increases by 10 points, his speed attribute increases by 5 points, and after reaching the basket, his low-post offensive attribute increases by 5 points, and his dunk success rate increases by 10%.
"Passive Aura (2): "Calm and Relax", the effect is to designate any player with a friendship score of 50 or more, and after scoring or assisting, 5% of their physical strength will be restored."
"Passive Aura (3): Durang's Shield", the effect is to effectively improve the ability of players on the field to prevent fouls."
Lin Yu breathed a long sigh of relief, the debut skills of the bus, isn't this coming?
……
At eight o'clock on Monday night, the bus still didn't show up for the game, because he was still a day away from turning his 23rd birthday.
The opponent is the Cleveland Cavaliers, the underdogs of the East last season.
Originally, Lin Yu thought that this would be another one-sided massacre, but he didn't expect the knight to really cause some trouble for the wizards.
The main reason is that the Cavaliers' roster has changed a lot this year, their center selected in 96 Big Z Ilgoskas joined the team this year, and they also traded Rain Man Camp from the SuperSonics.
The strength of this inside lineup skyrocketed.
Big Z has a good projection ability, and his height is the kind of big man who is more than 220, Big Ben is a little difficult to defend, and Camp is still in his prime, and Webb has no obvious advantage against Camp.
Fortunately, the Wizards' outside line is indeed the top of the top, Kobe and Maddy once again staged the dominance of the top outside line in history, completely blowing up the outside line of the Cavaliers, Maddy cut 32 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, Kobe Bryant is 22 points, 5 rebounds and 14 assists.
It is worth mentioning that in the past half a month, Kobe Bryant has averaged an astonishing 12.7 assists per game, ranking first in the league, even more than Stockton.
It was a surprise for Lin Yu, he didn't expect this kind of pie before trading Kobe.
Kobe Bryant, who is not greedy for the ball, has the blessing of goggles, and has entered his prime, he is really a young version of the glove Payton, even stronger than Payton, at least stronger than Payton, and the defensive radiation range is also larger, Kobe Bryant can defend from the No. 1 position to the No. 3 position in the real sense, after all, he originally registered the position of the No. 3 position.
What's worse is that Kobe Bryant has a top backcourt partner that Payton does not have, and the combined power of the two Komai is definitely greater than 1+1 than 2.
Kobe Bryant is the current assist king, and Maddie is the current scoring champion, averaging 31 points per game, and no one can believe that he is a guy who has just graduated from high school.
Relying on the power of Kobe and Maddy, the Wizards finally won less than ten points at home, and it is obvious that this year's Cavaliers are about to take off.
That's exactly what happened, and under normal circumstances, the Cavaliers finished fifth in the East this season.
As soon as Lin Yu led the generals back to the locker room, Kobe Bryant shouted.
"Chief, what about the Rolex? I got a total of 11 steals last week, so this Rolex should be mine, right? ”
Lin Yu smiled and nodded, in last week's steal competition, Kobe Bryant was indeed ranked first.
In fact, after he left the Unselde office yesterday, he went straight to the Rolex store and spent $70,000 to buy a Rolex 18K white gold diamond-encrusted yacht Master.
It is said that it is customized, but in fact, it is engraved with a line of handwriting on the back of the case, Kobe Bryant hurts, 1997-11-04.
"Da Da Da, I'm ready for a long time!"
Lin Yu smiled and took out a Rolex from his pocket and handed it to Kobe.
Bryant regarded it as a treasure and couldn't wait to wear it on his wrist, and the value of this watch seemed to him to be far more than 70,000 dollars, more like a reward for the official start of his career.
"Damn, I was blinded, if it hadn't been for that steal on his head, I would have had 10 steals with him, and I would have gotten a Rolex!"
Maddie muttered, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, he had a total of nine steals this week, two less than Kobe.
Not to mention Maddie, even Webb, Big Ben and others were extremely envious when they looked at this extravagant watch.
"Boss, when will we have another game like this?"
"yes, we want Rolex too."
"I'm not interested in ordinary Rolexes, I just want this one in Kobe's hand, and it has to be engraved with my name."
Lin Yu laughed and waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
"There will be more steals in the future, at least you will definitely have a chance this season, and I will inform you in advance when the time comes."
The $70,000 is too well spent, and if he can randomly get a blank aura next time, Lin Yu won't have to think about those messy excuses anymore, and he will steal it directly in the name of stealing the competition.
$70,000 is nothing, a steal can earn it back.
There are also other benefits to this kind of intra-squad competition, such as improving the sense of belonging of the players and enlivening the atmosphere in the dressing room.
If you really want to talk about harm, it's not for nothing, at least Maddie can't fight with Kobe Bryant now.
Kobe always raised his wrist and boasted, "I have a Rolex, what do you have?" ”
……
The next morning, as soon as Lin Yu got up, he led the bus to Unselde's office.
The bus officially turned 23 years old, and he was able to sign a contract with the Wizards.
Before arriving at the general manager's office, Lin Yu told the bus that the plan had changed, and the contract period was not three years, but one year, and it was still insecure.
The bus looked disappointed, but Lin Yu assured that this change would definitely give him countless benefits, and he was relieved again.
Coming to Lao Mei to work alone, the only person who can be trusted by the bus is Lin Yu, and he is also sure that Lin Yu will never harm himself.
The character of the bus is quite honest, at least it is different from those guys who sell sheep's tail oil live in later generations.
After arriving at the general manager's office, the bus signed the contract under Lin Yu's gaze.
"Lin, now that the contract has been signed, when are you going to let this kid play?"
"I'm not very optimistic about this kid, but I'm more looking forward to seeing Pauline's look of remorse."
Unselde had a wicked smile on his face, he knew that the bus couldn't understand English, so he spoke very directly.
Lin Yu also laughed evilly, "Tomorrow night's game against the Bulls, remember to invite Pauline to the scene, the bus will give him an incomparably huge surprise!" ”
"Huh? Game against the Bulls? You're not kidding? ”
"Luke Longley is not a vegetarian, his defensive strength is at least in the top 10 of the center position, how many points can the bus score?"
"And he can get a rebound under Rodman?"
"There are no points or rebounds, how do you surprise Pauline?"
Unseld thought that Lin Yu would arrange the debut of the bus to a game of weak chickens on the opponent's inside, but he never expected Lin Yu to play so big, and let the bus go to play against the second dynasty of the Bulls.
Lin Yurao nodded confidently, "You have to play this kind of strong team to reflect the value of the bus and surprise Paulin." ”
"And this game wasn't just about surprising Pauline, I wanted to surprise Jordan a little bit."
In this game against the Bulls, in the absence of Pippen, Lin Yu absolutely can't tolerate failure, if this can't beat the Bulls, how can the full Bulls Wizards parry?
