O'Neal is not that happy baby now.

After being eliminated in the Eastern Conference Finals, the Magic gave O'Neal a five-year contract of $50 million, but O'Neal refused. After the free market opened, he began to look for the team to use unlimited contract terms for him, which is the clause that Jordan was called "Jordan's exception" after renewing the contract with the Bulls.

But the teams O'Neal wanted to go to quickly completed an inconsequential signing, and directly destroyed the terms they had.

The Spurs and the Mavericks gave him a 7-year contract offer of nearly 100 million US dollars, but he was unwilling to go to Dallas and San Antonio.

Then, the Magic raised his offer and before the Olympics began, he gave him a quotation of $56 million in five years, with an average annual increase of $1.2 million.

Go to the Spurs, Mavericks?

Today, I saw the Bulls give Jordan $30.14 million a year and the Knicks give Alan Houston a five-year contract of $50 million. Both used the "Jordan exception" and O'Neal was even more unhappy. The gap between him and Alan Houston was only 6 million?

Moreover, after the Knicks failed to get Jordan and signed the contract with Alan Houston with a four-year, decreasing contract of $68 million, Ewing completed an early renewal with Patrick Ewing in the 2000-01 season, Ewing was still able to get $14.5 million when she was 38 years old, and Ewing's salary in the 2005-08 season was as high as $20.5 million.

Olajuwon also completed a four-year, $56 million contract renewal.

David Robinson reached an oral contract renewal with the Spurs for 5 years and $72 million, waiting for him.

There is also Mo Ning, who immediately renewed his contract with the Heat for more than 100 million US dollars after the free market opened in 7 years, and even Zhu Wan Howard received a contract of 100 million US dollars in 7 years.

Kidd had a 9-year, 80 million rookie contract, and Glenn Robinson's 11-year, 100 million contract, and O'Neal didn't care, and the average salary was not high.

But if he wants to stay in Orlando, a championship team with rich entertainment resources, he can only get an average annual salary of US$11.2 million? Or he has to go to San Antonio to accompany David Robinson?

The reason given by the Magic is very strong. The 1997 Anfenny Hardaway contract is about to expire, so you need to leave money for Anfenny Hardaway contract.

While drooling at Jordan's horrific annual salary of $30.14 million, O'Neal welcomes the NBA's iconic character Jerry West.

For the logo man, O'Neal politely welcomed him into the living room and asked the servant to prepare drinks and snacks.

After the short greetings, the logo man asked straight to the point: "Shake, are you willing to come to Los Angeles?"

At this time, the logo man came here to find him. Of course O'Neal knew what it was, but he was a little confused. Didn't the Lakers have already given Campbell a quote?

Regarding his stay or not, no one will associate him with the Lakers because the Lakers have been developing players against him for the past two years, and almost no one, including himself, thinks that the Lakers will want to get him.

O'Neal replied very directly: "I don't want to."

The logo man asked, "Why? Is it because of Aix?"

No, is it so direct? O'Neal thought he was direct enough, but he didn't expect that this old senior was so straightforward.

"Do you know, I have been living in Orlando for half a month. Since you participated in the Olympics, I have been waiting here. I have seen a lot of things..." The logo man seemed to be talking to himself: "I don't think this place is worthy of you. You should go to a bigger stage. Only Los Angeles can let you show all your brilliance. There are Hollywood and Lakers there. Have you seen it? Superman, we have Ultraman, a screen character that is as charming as Superman, do you want to live in Disney forever? If it were you..."

The logo man paused when he said this, and O'Neal wanted to know what the logo man hadn't finished.

He likes what the logo man said very much, and he likes to live in the spotlight.

The logo man paused for a while, observed O'Neal's expression, and said with a smile: "If it were you, I would choose to go to the Lakers, I would choose to partner with Aix, I would compete for the stars of Hollywood...

If he makes me unhappy, I will definitely go back to the Lakers, and I will want to suppress him and be his boss.

Of course, you have to be confident that you can convince him on the court.”

No, O'Neal was confused. Is Zhang Hao your player?

Is this what people do to make trouble for my own genius?

At this time, the logo man took out a stack of paper from his briefcase, which obviously showed that it was a contract.

"Shake, I love you. I like center the most. You know, I will create all the conditions for you to be the boss of Aix, such as this..."

O'Neal watched the logo man pushing his contract, and the first page reads salary, not various terms.

In the first year, it was $10.78 million... in the last year, $23.57 million, which has exceeded Jordan's $30.14 million since the sixth year. The highest annual salary of players who have signed contracts in the league today has reached $21.43 million!

The total salary in 7 years is $127 million, which is a "Jordan exception" contract!

O'Neal was stunned: "No, that's not the case. You should give me 90 million, and I'll bargain 100 million!"

"..." The logo man didn't expect to get this answer. He almost choked. After a little slowing down, he quickly recovered from calmness and responded: "I said that I will create all the favorable conditions for you to compete for the position of boss. The most direct thing is to give you such a contract... But if you really want to convince Aix, you have to rely on yourself."

The logo man looked calm, but in fact, his vest was already wet with sweat.

He waited for more than a month and missed so many high-quality point guards. They could have successfully created a championship lineup through the back line signing, but not. He had to form the strongest frontcourt combination in history, which was stronger than the Rockets' double towers back then to be at ease.

This is a big bet!

O'Neal wanted to refuse. He wanted to discuss it with an agent, but thought that the agent advised him to continue to partner with Anthony Hardaway and accept a five-year, 56 million contract.

Another point is that if you don’t go to the Lakers, you will have to face the possibility of competing for the championship with the Lakers. Thinking of the Lakers center, he stayed in the Magic, no one can help him relieve the offensive pressure he faces. It’s different with Barkley and Zhang Hao, although both of them made him very upset.

He felt that his hands were out of control and reached towards the signature pen that the logo man placed aside...

...

...

After the free market opened, Zhang Hao was training. On July 10, Alan Houston, who had a broken talk with the Pistons, did not consider contract-related matters for the time being. He agreed to Henry Thomas' alternative plan to wait for the Lakers, wait for Jordan, and come to Los Angeles to train with Zhang Hao.

Half a month has passed, and as the high-quality defenders who have changed teams find their next home one by one, Zhang Hao also began to make the second plan.

At this time, Zhang Hao had already guessed what the management wanted to do.

Therefore, Zhang Hao formulated two plans for Alan Houston. Originally, Henry Thomas wanted to continue to argue with the Pistons, but Zhang Hao knew that Jordan would not leave the Bulls, and in the end, Alan Houston would go to the Knicks.

When many things have changed and another fat man is not sure whether he will come, Zhang Hao is ready to leave a backup plan. Once Jordan completes the contract renewal, the other fat man chooses other teams, then he will notify the Lakers to sign Alan Houston.

This is absolutely fine.

If Jordan completes the contract renewal with the Bulls first and the Knicks are willing to give an average annual contract of 10 million, then let Alan Houston go and continue to wait patiently for the logo man's operation. The Knicks are unwilling to give it, so keep waiting.

Although the risks are very high, if you want to bet, you have to be patient, even if you lose everything in the end... that is the most dominant center in history!

On July 28, Jabbar returned to Los Angeles. Zhang Hao and Alan Houston studied for more than two weeks, started the learning mode of "fast catch and shoot simulation training", and then followed Jabbar to study together.

I originally thought that I would start the learning mode related to Tiangou, but what I turned on was "Jabbar's secret to health care" and got the bronze medal of "Health Master"...

49-year-old Jabbar seems to be able to play in the NBA in physical condition, and he plays Zhang Hao and Jason Williams in training.

The technique Zhang Hao learned was Jabbar's hook and low-post back-playing skills, but the learning mode was not triggered for several days. However, when Jabbar was undergoing independent physical therapy after the training, he suddenly triggered the learning mode and obtained the "Health Master (Bronze)"...

"Health Master (Bronze): After each game, the wearer will perform physical therapy according to Kareem Kabar's physical therapy method, which will maximize the avoidance of sprains, strains and other basic injuries under routine circumstances."

The medal is a good medal and the effect is also very good, but the name of this medal makes him want to pick up the thermos...

However, after only one week of contact, Zhang Hao felt that it was difficult for Jabbar to get along with... The other party felt like he was forced to open business due to sympathy.

The Olympics have begun during this period. I saw news about the Chinese team going to Atlanta. The Chinese men's basketball team defeated the South American giant Argentina to reach the quarterfinals of the Olympics for the first time... I was very envious! I was very envious!

But there is no way, the national conditions are like this, so he can only wait for the opportunity. He wants to create opportunities by himself. He wants to do the next time, no matter whether the Blue Association wants or not, he can only invite him to the national team!

On August 5, before the Bulls announced that they had completed the contract renewal with Jordan, they had already notified the Knicks to match the contract, which was 30 million yuan per year, which was the largest contract the Knicks were willing to give. After being matched by the Bulls, they knew that they could not continue to compete with the Bulls, so they chose Alan Houston, who was in contact with the Knicks in advance at Zhang Hao's instructions, and strengthened the back line by 50 million in five years.

Seeing Jordan renewal and receiving a call from Henry Thomas, he learned that Alan Houston had signed a contract with the Knicks with an average annual price of 10 million US dollars, he saw that only the Spurs, the Mavericks and their Lakers had not signed any player, and even the rookie contract players had not signed. They just made some transactions, and Zhang Hao was a little anxious.

How long does it take to wait?

However, less than two hours after his anxiety came out, he just returned home after finishing the shooting, and received a call from the logo man...

Then, the girls and two loli in the room heard the sound of "Pussy, Pussy, Pussy, Pussy..." coming from the yard.

When I came out and saw Zhang Hao, I started singing and dancing RAP mode again!

...

...

In the morning, I had a fight with Jerry Klaus, the other party gave a contract with a starting salary of US$30.14 million for 1+1 player option, and said: "I think I will regret giving you such a contract."

Then, Jordan had a fight with Jerry Klaus.

But Jordan was in a very happy mood in terms of the salary of more than 33 million US dollars that year, the player option was paid by more than 33 million US dollars.

In the afternoon, after the Bulls announced their contract renewal, Jordan was in a good mood!

Finally, it's on the headlines again!

But after less than a long time of happiness, he felt that the contract of more than 30 million was not good...

He saw a news that even he was stunned by the logo. The man took the initiative to reveal to the media that he signed a contract with O'Neal with a total salary of $127 million in NBA history with a total salary of $127 million!

...

O'Neal's journey to the west immediately triggered a league shock!

Orlando people were confused. Not only were there teams willing to give O'Neal a billion contract, but they also added 27 million to the 100 million US dollars. This was a slap in the face for their referendum results!

The local TV station in Orlando immediately responded to the Lakers' worst signing in history.

O'Neal and the Magic's soap opera have been a hot topic since the offseason. Some want to get O'Neal's team to give a contract of 100 million yuan, but O'Neal is unwilling to go. O'Neal wants to go to a championship team, and also a contract of 100 million yuan. This requirement is too high in this year, even O'Neal, a super genius recognized by all teams in the league except Orlando.

Just like famous agents like O'Neal's agent Redner Amoto, they hope that he will renew his contract with the Magic, winning the championship will be a higher salary of four or five million US dollars a year than if he wants to stay in the championship team and get a billion-dollar contract, and want to go to places he wants to go. This requirement is regarded as an impossible situation.

Public opinion generally believes that O'Neal has two options: going to Texas or staying in the Magic for an annual salary of tens of millions.

Some people think that other situations may occur, such as O'Neal didn't want to go to Texas, and he had a complete fall in love with the Magic. He went to a reconstruction team, and could start with a salary of tens of millions of yuan and a contract worth over 7 years. In the big city, the only teams in the rebuilding team is to start with a salary of tens of millions.

But no one expected that it was the Lakers! The Lakers, who agreed to give Campbell three years, $22 million contract!

When the Lakers revealed that they had reached a three-year 22 million oral agreement with Campbell, no one thought that the Lakers would compete for O'Neal, because in the playoffs, Campbell's only function was to defend O'Neal, otherwise it would be just an ordinary frame protection center, and it was the kind with very limitations.

So, when this news appears, many people's first reaction is fake news.
