Chapter 108 Renew the contract in advance

Li Ke is not interested in making movies or something at all.
However, he still played a cameo role in this movie called "Same Showdown" -
In the final battle, an audience member who raised his thumbs toward Xiao Du.
The character should be a nouveau riche, with gold chains, gold bracelets and gold rings, plus fancy T-shirts and jeans...
Li Ke actually doesn't want to wear this way, because he looks more like a black nouveau riche, and Asian nouveau riche shouldn't be like this.
But helpless, the director named John Whitesell didn't listen to him at all.
Li Ke thought about it and felt that this movie was a failure anyway, so he let him go.
Following the camera, he raised his thumbs down at Xiao Du who was pretending to be on the spot, and cursed: "shxt!kd, you are a loser, a thousand-year-old dick, you can't even beat a little brat!"
Li Ke cursed happily, but outside the camera, Xiao Du smiled silly, seemingly disregarding her.
After taking this shot, the two of them walked aside with their shoulders on their shoulders.
"It's so cool, Sheldon, you should have arrived yesterday!"
"?"
Li Ke threw a question mark and Xiao Du explained excitedly:
"Yesterday the director arranged a kiss scene for me!"
"You have a kissing scene?"
Xiao Du glared: "Why can't I have a kissing scene? Don't you know that in American hero movies, end-of-popular kissing scenes are a must."
"so?"
"So, the movie is set like this..."
Actually, what Li Ke wanted to say was: So, Xiao Du might not have Scarlett's bath water, but she drank Scarlett's saliva.
It's really... enviable!
"Look, this is Scarlett's wechat account. We have made an appointment to see my game in the new season."
"Then what?"
"Then……"
Xiao Du, who wanted to show off, frowned and found that he didn't seem to be able to show off.
"Then there is nothing..."
...
After communicating with the little character Du, Li Ke responded to Kobe's appointment and visited Kobe's manor in Orange County.
Since it was Kobe's appointment, when he arrived at the place, he would definitely not be able to escape one-on-one game.
In the past season, Li Ke and Kobe have very few one-on-one games, but they have their own winners and losses.
First of all, Li Ke cannot get the "brave" trait and can no longer crush Kobe.
Secondly, after Li Ke's various skills were improved, he was enough to tie Kobe in one-on-one.
The same is true for this one-on-one. You have one goal and I have one goal, and the scores will rise alternately.
Whoever scored the 11th goal first is actually a matter of probability.
This time, Kobe won...
Swish—!
A fallback jump shot hit, Kobe held up his right hand:
"I won!"
"Yes, you won. After this one-on-one game, the total score between us..."
"Shut up, I don't want to hear the word total score!"
If the total score is calculated, Li Ke won so many times in the rookie season, it would be a wall that will always lie in front of Kobe.
"Okay, the ball has been played, what are we eating today?"
“…”
Li Ke took the initiative to change the topic, and then followed Kobe with a relaxed expression and entered the interior of the manor.
In the manor, Li Ke enjoyed a hearty Italian lunch, steak, pasta, fruit salad and dessert...
Although it was very ordinary, Li Ke was already satisfied.
He and Keru communicated with old friends, and at this time, he thought of Kobe's friendship/hostility value in the system.
In the past, Kobe's friendliness/hostility values ​​appeared in the system's address book in this strange way.
Later, with targeted confrontation on the field, Kobe's friendliness/hostile values ​​became purely hostile values.
Now, Kobe's hostility has risen to 60 points.
But when they get along outside the court, Li Ke couldn't feel the existence of these 60 hostile values.
"So, the system separates basketball from life."
"But why, are there Artai and Guagua, the weird guys who integrate life and basketball?"
Li Ke shook his head and could only say that the system did not divide basketball and life into pieces.
After the finals of last season, there was another An Zhu in the strange ranks.
Li Ke's punch and kick at him directly made An Zhu's already not low hostility soar to 89 points.
So, in a finals, plus a summer, Li Ke gained a level A-level assisted defense from Hua Lao Er, a level S-level mid-range shot from Xiao Du, who ignored the talent limit, and another skill that Li Ke from An Zhu has not yet chosen.
He hesitated between rebounds and blocks...
When choosing rebounds, when the team plays five small offenses, he can fully protect the rebounds.
If you choose to block the shot, Li Ke has been promoted to level A and will be even stronger.
Each of them has advantages, which is why Li Ke has never made a choice.
However, as the new season approaches, this choice is imminent.
"It's better to rebound..."
Leaving Kobe's house, Li Ke measured his height in the hotel.
The height of the shoes is already 2.03 meters. It was not enough before.
The wingspan has also increased a little, and it has reached 2.04 meters.
"An Zhu's rebound was originally at level A, because of the gap in talent and proficiency, it was weakened to level C. If you practice it, you should be able to level B."
"Plus with the current high arm span, it may be difficult to play a normal guest center, but it is completely fine to play a power forward."
So, in the end, Li Ke gave up the block of the same level and chose the rebound that was most suitable for him at this moment.
Of course, there is another reason.
Regarding blocking, he has already aimed at a clear goal-
Dwyne Wade, who just joined the Cavaliers, has the top blocking ability among defenders, and should be the most suitable blocking shot for Li Ke. If you are lucky, the gap in talent may not even exist.
When Li Ke left Los Angeles, he was almost complete in the new season. The details are as follows:
"Host: Li Ke, position on the field: Fengwei Swinger,
Height: 203cm, weight: 101kg, arm span: 204cm,
Birthday: August 23, 1988."
"I already have skills: single defense at level s, breakthrough at level s, back-attack at level s, steal at level s, assisted defense at level a, layup at level b, empty cut at level b, three-pointer at level b, mid-range shot at level b, low-post offense at level b, rebound at level c, steal at level d, block at level d, ball control at level d."
"Already have talents: s-level speed, s-level strength, a level bounce, a level endurance, b level explosion, b level flexibility."
"Already possessed traits: B-level steel will, B-level big heart, C-level bravery, C-level competition, C-level rage, and realm of transformation."
"Already possessed the title trait: Mamba."
As long as you upgrade the mid-range shot to S level and the rebound to B level, Li Ke will be truly complete.
"The mid-range shot can reach the top, but the three-pointer is almost there, but it's not in a hurry, but it's a pass..."
Li Ke's organizational pass is still his weakest link, but he has no choice but to find a suitable copy candidate.
Fortunately, Li Kewu understood one thing: when he was not strong enough, try to make his teammates stronger.
So he strongly recommended the team's draft pick Lance Stephenson.
It seems that there is only one more organization point, but in fact, what Ji Bobcats lack is a player who can defend and organize, and if he can still attack independently, it would be better.
Curry is one less defense, Earl Watson is one less defense and independent attack, and there is no one else.
At the peak, Lance Stephenson is a strong man with excellent defense, organization and independent attack, which is not unsuitable.
...
Leave Los Angeles and return to Charlotte.
After Li Ke rested for a few days, he returned to the breakfast club with the intensity of the regular season.
The team's pre-season training camp will also start in a few days.
The Bobcat Training Hall is getting old, and Lao Qiao was originally planning to use some of the revenue from the previous season to repair the training hall.
As a result, at the team's shareholders' meeting, Robert Johnson rejected the proposal in one sentence.
The reason is: instead of spending millions of dollars to repair the old training hall now, it is better to keep the money and prepare to build a new training hall.
Old Joe didn't believe it, but because of Robert Johnson's equity, he could veto it with just one word, but he could only regard it as a believer.
Afterwards, no one mentioned the idea of ​​building a new training hall again.
Old Joe knew that Robert Johnson rejected the renovation of the training hall just to let him know who is the major shareholder of Bobcats.
Whenever this happens, Old Joe will strongly want to buy out the remaining 70% of the Bobcat equity that Robert Johnson still holds tightly in his hand.
He also asked about the price, but Robert Johnson was willing to negotiate, but then he offered a sky-high price.
Although Lao Qiao is rich, he really wants to pay this sky-high price. He is the famous fool in this alliance.
He didn't expect that the reputation that had just improved a lot was back in silly, so he had to give up the buyout and let Robert Johnson continue to disgust himself.
To be honest, Li Ke can also understand Robert Johnson's behavior of not selling the remaining 70% of the shares he has.
When the Bobcats are rising extremely, selling these 70% of their shares is the stupidest way to do it.
As for the veto repair the training hall...you know, after going to Ji Lanmao to the end, he only made about 10,000 US dollars.
If the training hall is repaired, it will not be much left if it will make a profit in the end.
Don’t think about dividends or something.
If they didn't spend this money, they could still share a little bit. The investment in Bobcats over the years has been considered to have recovered some of them.
"After all, Robert Johnson is greedy, and he feels he hasn't made enough money!"
Li Ke didn't want to care about the dispute between the team's shareholders, but he keenly smelled it. Perhaps in the near future, Robert Johnson would cheat Lao Qiao.
Li Ke's lynx career may end...
...
On the first day of the training camp, Li Ke, who had just finished the breakfast club, was pulled away by Old Joe, who had just started working.
When I arrived at the office and saw David Falke, Li Ke realized that-
"It's time to talk about renewal."
That's right, Lao Qiao decided to discuss a contract extension with Li Ke early, and anyway, it would have to be renewed early and late.
Li Ke also simply asked Lao Qiao directly: "Okay, renewal, it's actually very simple. You just need to tell me whether you are willing to give me a maximum salary!"
These days, the super giants did not renew their contracts at the maximum salary, but instead reduced them to a reasonable range to renew their contracts, which is also a regular operation.
The main reason is that the salary cap and luxury tax line are not high at this time, but the maximum salary is ridiculously high.
This led to the kg contract renewal of the Timberwolves at a sky-high price, which led to the lack of outstanding teammates in the following years. Not to mention the championship, the playoffs were very dangerous.
However, in recent years, there have been many huge contracts renewed at maximum salary, mainly because the new labor-management agreement is approaching, and players are urgently in need of salary increases. In this case, the current maximum salary is not outrageously high.
For example, Brandon Roy, who renewed his contract with the Trail Blazers this summer, signed a maximum salary contract with a starting salary of $13.52 million for five years, with a total value of $82 million. His salary in the last year is already higher than $20 million.
You know, this year's salary cap is only $58 million, and Roy will occupy more than $20 million in four years, which is still very scary.
After Li Ke asked this, Lao Qiao was a little hesitant.
His mind was full of his mind that he wanted to renew his contract with Li Ke in advance. When it was time to renew his contract, he was really a little confused about whether to pay the maximum salary or not.
However, David Falke was more direct than Li Ke: "Don't hesitate to Michael, it's not that he is the maximum salary, we won't sign!"
Li Ke raised his hands, meaning that this was not what he said.
To be honest, after he sold wechat shares and earned more than 18 billion US dollars, it didn't matter if he didn't have the maximum salary.
He can accept it if he really learns that the driver will cut his salary and renew his contract.
David Falke told Li Ke: "Don't think about reducing salary. Now in the league, salary equals status!"
Salary equals status...so!
So, the hesitant Lao Qiao and the indifferent Li Ke were persuaded by a third party.
"Then according to the maximum salary this year, players with less than seven years of age can only have a starting salary of $13.52 million..."
In other words, Li Ke will sign a maximum salary contract that is roughly similar to Roy.
However, in terms of age, it still needs to be discussed.
"Starting salary of $1,352, five years of contract, fifth year player option..."
While Old Joe was talking, David Falke waved his hand: "No, I won't sign for five years."
Li Ke followed David Falke and nodded, and he also believed that he could not sign for five years.
If Robert Johnson didn't make trouble and had no player option for five years, he would be willing to sign.
But now, this contract extension is better to be more flexible.
"Four years of signing, fourth year player option, totaling $65 million in four years..."
Old Qiao frowned, obviously hesitating, and maybe even suspicious.
After all, with Lebang, Wade and others in front, Lebang, Wade and Bosh are all rookies with a contract of 31, and then they jumped out and joined forces.
The Raptors are fine, but the Heat have suffered a heavy blow.
The Bobcats, which are smaller than the Heat in the market, have to be very cautious.
David Falke smiled and said, "Don't think of Michael too much, do you think I'm a breaking rule? Do you think Sheldon is?"
Neither David Falke nor Li Ke, Lebang, Wade and Bosh are, a very simple judgment.
Old Qiao quickly made a decision: "Okay, just 31!"
Chapter completed!
