Chapter 147 The Struggling Lakers

After saying goodbye to Yao Ming, he returned to the hotel, only to find that Bill was already waiting for him at the hotel. He was a little confused.

"Come back from Yao's house?" Bill asked. After waiting for a long time in the hotel, he finally waited for Li Tian.

"I just came back from Yao Ming's house. Why are you waiting here? You should have notified me in advance. There's no need to wait here for so long." Li Tian was also speechless, so he just needed to call in advance.

"I knew you would go to Yao's house, but I didn't expect it would take so long. I thought you were just talking about the Olympics. Who would have known that you would have dinner together." Bill is also an old dog. Who knows that the two of you seem to have been separated for a long time Lovers, we have been together for so long.

"Okay, stop complaining, Bill is waiting for me here, there must be a lot of things?" Li Tian knew that there must be a reason for Bill waiting here for so long, if it is a small matter, it must be settled with a phone call .

While talking, he followed Bill to the hotel's coffee shop.

"Recently, there have been quite a few endorsement contracts with China. I hope you can represent their company. You know that your culture is different from mine, and it is difficult to deal with it."

Bill has been busy negotiating with the management of Mosaic recently, but it has been basically reached recently. Yao Ming's weight gain plan has been cancelled, and the next step is to lose weight.

"Let's talk about this during the offseason. I don't have time to deal with it here. You also know that I will participate in the Olympics during the offseason. After the Olympics are over, I will have time to deal with these things." I don't want to be disturbed by these outside voices .

"Then do it like this. I hope you can deal with domestic endorsements and some problems like Yao in the future." Bill suggested.

"Bill, just explain why you are here? I don't think you will wait for me here for so long just because of this question."

"Yes, there is still something else." Bill paused and continued.

"Kupchak is already in contact with me, and wants to renew your contract in advance." This is why Bill waited for him for so long. Although he knew that he had rejected him, Bill was still worried that he would be overwhelmed and agreed to sign the contract privately. .

"I have discussed this issue with Kupchak before, and I will not consider the issue of signing during the season." I have been unwilling to consider this issue during the season, which made him a little upset.

"I will not consider this issue until the end of the season and after participating in the Olympics." Once again, he expressed his intention of coming.

"That's good. Kupchak wanted to sign a four-year 2000 million contract with you in advance, but I directly rejected it. If you have any signing negotiations in the future, you can tell me your thoughts in private and let me go Talk to them." Bill directly vetoed, such a contract is indeed unattractive.

"I think so too. I'll let him talk to you directly next time." He also feels that this kind of professional matter should be left to professional people, and he can just concentrate on playing. Basketball is his favorite thing. .

Once you have acquired the capital to play basketball, you are absolutely not allowed to give up. All things that interfere with your own playing can be handed over to others, because you are not short of money.

"Also, there are some endorsements in some beautiful countries. They are relatively simple. I have helped you to read them. You can ask a lawyer to read them. If you think there is no problem, you can sign the contract." There is no rush to sign the contract.

"Hou Zi wants to renew the contract in advance, and what he offered is a 3000-year endorsement contract with a total contract amount of 5 million. However, there are many restrictions. You need to meet certain conditions before you can get them all. I don't recommend you to sign this contract. We can wait until the season is over.” Bill knew that the possibility of the Lakers reaching the championship this year is very high, and if they win the championship again, it will be even more different. This endorsement contract is too harsh.

"Okay, I'll follow your arrangement. For Bill's future matters, just call me directly." Don't care about it at all.

"After reading your schedule, I knew you would go to Houston, so I decided to wait for you here." Bill knew that rookies in China were easy to talk to, but he would not help the opponent make any decisions. The opponent respected him, but he couldn't make a big deal embrace.

Respect is mutual. Bill gave Li Tian full respect, and reciprocating favors also gave Bill extreme trust.

On the second day, they challenged Mosaic away.

Faced with Mosaic without Yao Ming, the Lakers also lost Gasol. Many media believe that they also lost an All-Star player, while Mosaic lost an All-Star starter, which has a greater impact.

The media believes that the Lakers have a great chance of winning this game. Mosaic may bring some difficulties to the Lakers, but the victory will definitely belong to the Lakers.

Mosaic was originally a team that played around the perimeter. Yao Ming was injured, which didn't have that much impact on them; the Lakers adapted to Gasol's support in the play, which had a great impact. Li Tian was pushed to the starting power forward position.

He also played as a starting power forward before, but his weight and strength are always disadvantages, his performance is not very good, and he has lost the ability to restrain the outside line.

It was very uncomfortable to fight, and Kobe was possessed by Milan's little blacksmith, and he shot 33 of 11. Even though Odom and him had an extremely high shooting percentage, Odom was 10 of 7, and he didn't have a single outside chance. He shot 10 of 8 inside shots, but he still didn't help the team take away a victory.

After the game, the team lost two games in a row, and he felt cold today, so he dragged Li Tian to practice for an extra hour after the game.

Kobe even practiced mid-range shooting for half an hour.

Looking at such a stubborn Kobe, it is not without reason that he is called No.1 in the league.

The same is true for James, who is also very harsh on himself, and the investment in his body every year is higher than the annual salary of some players. For him, who even deducts WIFI is a coffee shop, it can also be seen that he became Kobe. No.1, talent is one aspect, but on the other hand, you need to rely on yourself.

On the plane to Dallas, Kobe kept his face black. Of course, although his black skin blocked his black face, he didn't say a word. The air on the plane was frozen, and everyone dared not breathe.

Last month ended with a complete victory, this month only Gasol was injured, and the team lost consecutively.

Seeing this, the external media began to criticize Kobe again, especially ESPN.

"Lost Gasol and suffered a two-game losing streak, which shows that his ability to lead the team is mediocre. He can't live without Gasol"

"The Lakers who have lost in a row will fall out of the championship."

Facing the media's reports, he was even more angry, saying that he must lead the team to victory in the next game.

Under Kobe's stimulation and high pressure, other players were even more afraid of making mistakes, so they were trembling and dared not speak.

On March 2008, 3 local time, the Lakers were a guest in Dallas.

The Mavericks welcomed back All-Star point guard Kidd. After a period of running-in, the team has gradually improved and won a wave of 5 consecutive victories.

The Mavericks' winning streak is booming, and they are still playing at home, so the momentum can be imagined.

On the other hand, the Lakers are depressed and have lost their main center Gasol.

Before the game, they were not favored by the media, who believed that the Lakers would continue their losing streak.

Before the game, Phil brought numerous media reports to the locker room and showed each player a look.

Said "Paul's injury, I know it will affect the normal performance of the team, but it is not the reason for our loss, this game, we must win.

The Mavericks are one of our main opponents in the playoffs, and we must win this game. "Continuously pouring chicken soup to the players, after drinking a bowl of chicken soup, the players regained their former momentum.

Li Tian lamented that he deserves to have established three dynasties. The coach of the championship is not only a master of tactics, but also a master of chicken soup for the soul.

Under the leadership of Kobe at the beginning, they took the lead, and then kept suppressing the counterattack of the Mavericks, and the Mavericks never raised their heads.

The first two quarters established a huge lead, and the relaxed Lakers were almost overtaken by the Mavericks in the next two quarters. Fortunately, the skier made 4 of 3 three-pointers in the final quarter and scored 10 points with an extra penalty to stop the Mavericks counterattack.

After each game, Li Tian focused on the defensive end, and did not completely lock Dirk. Dirk's Golden Rooster independence is indeed too difficult to defend.

Relying on his height advantage, Dirk shot backwards. Li Tian had the advantage in wingspan and jumping, but he still couldn't stop Dirk, and only limited Dirk's scoring to 25 points.

The Lakers finally won a game in Dallas with a difficult 102-100.

I can't help but sigh with emotion, "Everyone is not easy to become a famous star in history. We should not underestimate every player who has made a mark in history, let alone a person like Dirk with a strong mark."

The Lakers, who won a victory, also got a respite.

The media in Los Angeles took this opportunity to stand up and support Kobe. Facing the Mavericks who have the 'veteran driver' and the league's top All-Star point guard Kidd, who would dare to say that Kobe's ability to lead the team is not good.
The media that were not optimistic about the Lakers before the game also began to die down.

An away game in Salt Lake City, the current Jazz is no longer the Jazz with Malone, and has fallen from the altar. Although it is still a strong team in the playoffs, it does not have the strength to compete for the championship.

In recent years, Deron, who eats, sleeps and plays Paul, and Boozer and Kirilenko have established a new team system again, but they are still growing and are still very young.Also has young Kyle Korver and Paul Millsap.

The young Jazz, in the end, still failed to withstand Kobe's double-turning impact, and Li Tian, ​​Odom and the ski men's hands were overwhelming.

The Lakers made another victory 112-95 and returned to Los Angeles with two consecutive victories.

Back to back the next day, before the start of the game, all Lakers players expressed their support for Li Tian.

Kobe said, "Lee let go of the game. It is best to play Durant out of S. As long as you run out of opportunities, we will give you the ball."

With the support of the team boss, other players also stood up to support.

This is an unwritten agreement, no matter which player meets his old club, or the team that has had conflicting players.As long as he can win, all kinds of opportunities will be created for this person.

The Lakers eventually beat the Seattle SuperSonics 130-105.

Li Tian scored 25 points and 15 rebounds, and won another 100 points rewarded by the system.

Durant was speechless when interviewed by reporters after the game. Although his statistics had improved, he was slaughtered again, and his mood was extremely bad.

The reporter asked again and again, Durant left the reporters angrily, and left the press conference with his schoolbag on his back.

After the game, he also received a fine of 2 US dollars from the league, for which Durant dropped another mobile phone.Every time I see a team with Li Tian, ​​it is a disaster day for Durant.
