A month of training is finally over, for the men's basketball players, this month's training is really a kind of suffering.

“I don’t have to eat those nutritious meals.Now I think about those things, and I feel sick."

"I don't know how to get here this month, get up earlier than the chicken, sleep later than the chicken, eat worse than the chicken..."

"In fact, the food is not bad, there are fish, meat, eggs and vegetables, that is, the level of the American cook is not good, out of the roast is cooked, and the best things are not good to eat."If you change the kitchen, you may be able to eat it."

In the front row of the bus, the men's basketball coach Sun successfully listened to the complaints of the players, and some sighed helplessly.

"Eating this bitterness began to complain, to know that many NBA stars, more than ten years like a day in accordance with such a recipe to eat."Our players, self-discipline is really bad."Sun successfully hated the idea of iron without steel.

For the effect of this training in the United States, Sun success is still relatively satisfied, although only a month, but most of the players' weight has increased, and the increase is not fat, but muscle.

Domestic basketball players are generally thin, and many players look like a thin bamboo pole, so muscle growth has always been an important training goal for domestic basketball players.However, in the domestic training environment, the effect of the player's muscle training is not very good, of course, some players themselves are not self-disciplined, in the diet is not very careful, baking skewer beer fried food every day, how how to increase muscle.

However, in the United States, the overall training environment is completely different, and Li Dai's physical training level is also higher than that of domestic physical trainers.And although the training base of the Clippers is facing the sea spring, but also before the village does not have a shop, no car, no car can go anywhere, even if the men's basketball team is not self-disciplined, the environment will force them to self-discipline.

"I'm going to Europe to play a warm-up match soon, and I'm sure it will soon be revealed."Sun successfully looked at his watch and suddenly thought of something else.

"Yesterday, Coach Lee has flown to New York to participate in this year's NBA draft, the Clippers have a 20th overall first-round signing, I don't know who to choose."Sun successfully said to himself.

...

In New York, the NBA draft scene, the head coaches and team managers of the NBA's 30 teams are almost all present.

A Clippers staff hurried to Li Dai's side and whispered, "Coach, the Kings want our second-round pick, they are willing to pay some cash, or next year's second-round pick."

“It seems that the Kings have a favorite candidate.”Li Dai thought about it and then said, "Then exchange them for a pick, and we want them to have the second round of the draft pick next year."

The second round of draft picks, especially after the 40th pick, has always been regarded as irrelevant.Teams in the NBA also often use second-round picks to express friendships.

For example, today's Kings, they have to take a second-round pick from the Clippers, which is equivalent to owed the Clippers.From the perspective of the Clippers, it is also worth exchanging an inconsequential second round of signings.

The first element, the list and the exploration of flowers are released one by one, and the previous media predictions are no different.In fact, by the time of the draft day, the top three rookies had basically been determined, and the team would not risk choosing others.

From the sixth position, the team's choice of people and the media's forecast deviation, gradually there are players outside the small green house selected, which means that the small green house inside the players will fall out of the lotto area.

In the NBA draft, there is a so-called "little green house", which is not really a green house, but a privilege, selected "small green house" players, can be accompanied by relatives and friends to watch the draft.In general, the NBA will invite at least 14 rookies into the Little Green House, and these new shows will basically become lottery rookies.

After the first 19 rookies were selected, it was finally the Clippers' turn to choose.

"I heard that the Clippers coach is very interested in the University of Utah Kelz Kumar, presumably the Clippers will choose Kuma!"

"That's not necessarily, Kumar's draft prediction is the end of the first round, the beginning of the second round, with a 20 pick to choose him, is not a bit too wasteful."

"I think the Clippers have put out the wind, saying that it is optimistic about Kuma, just to keep down Ronnie's renewal price."After all, Ronnie and Kumar are front-line players."

"I heard that Ronnie asked the Clippers for a five-year, $150 million salary, and he really dared to speak up and think of himself as an All-Star."

“Yeah, if I were the Clippers, I wouldn’t have agreed to that price.And this price will scare other teams to invite him to the contract.With the Clippers to five years and 150 million, then the other teams will not use four years of 120 million top salary to dig him?It's better to dig up an All-Star player directly."

Everyone talked about it, and Kelz Kumar, who was on the scene, was a nervous expression, from time to time looking in the direction of the Clippers, who was worried about whether the Clippers would actually choose him.

Finally, NBA Commissioner Adams took to the stage and announced the results.

“The 20th pick, from the Los Angeles Clippers, whose choice is Kelz Kumar!”

The applause rang out, and Kumar stood up excitedly, took the Clippers hat from the staff and put it on his head, excitedly stepped onto the stage and shook hands with Adams.

The general manager and coach of each team are talking again.

"The Clippers really chose Kumar, is this a fake play?"

"With the 20th pick to choose Kumar, really a bit of waste, after all, there are not yet selected rookie, there are many good front-line players, there are several better than Kumar."

"The Clippers are hard to keep down Ronnie's renewal price, and I don't know if Ronnie will bite the top salary of 150 million yuan for five years."This time it was a good show.”

...

Hawaii.

Ronnie was on vacation in Hawaii.Due to the time difference, when the NBA draft began, Hawaii was still in the afternoon, and Ronnie was enjoying sunshine, sea breeze and delicious fruit.

The bikini beauty walking back and forth on the beach made Ronnie a little cheerful, and he even began to think about whether he wanted to go to some hot girl for a drink.

The phone rang and it was a phone call from the agent.

"The draft results came out, and the Clippers really picked the Kelz Kumar."The agent said directly.

"What?They chose a player!”Ronnie's expression suddenly seemed a little uncomfortable, and the sense of crisis in his heart gradually began to erupt.

The agent continued: "Obviously, the Clippers are not just pressing the price, they're really looking for someone who can replace you."

"A rookie player, can stay in the NBA is a problem, and why to replace me!" 」Ronnie said disconcerting.

"Roney, I think we should also appropriately lower the requirements, five years and 150 million, the Clippers are unlikely to give you so much."The agent advised.

"You made me, killed and bit 150 million wages for five years, how can you let me cut prices now!" 」Ronnie said in a questioning tone.

"I was also testing the bottom line of the Clippers, I didn't expect the management of the Clippers to be so decisive, and immediately went to find someone who could replace you."The agent said, "But don't worry, I will continue to fight for your best interests, what do you think is 125 million dollars in five years?"

“One hundred and fifty-five million, less than before, has an average salary of $25 million a year.Well, if the Clippers are willing to accept this condition, I can renew their contract with them."Ronnie answered.

...

“Roni’s agents are moving, and they’ve given out conditions of $125 million over five years.”Xiao Yunan said.

Now the Clippers have Kelz Kumar as a potential rookie, Ronnie has become less important, not to mention five years 125 million, that is, the previous Clippers gave Ronnie out of the five years of 90 million, Li Dai feel expensive.

"Don't refuse, let's say we management want to discuss."Then put Ronnie's condition in the media."Lee said, commanding.

“Why do you do this?”Xiao Yunan asked.

“For five years, 125 million, an average of $25 million a year, I want other teams to know the news, which is to tell everyone who is interested in Ronnie that they need at least four years and $100 million in contracts to poach Ronnie.Do you think anyone in the other 29 teams will make such an offer?”

Li Dai smiled and then said: "I don't think other teams can't make such a high offer, Ronnie's requirements are so high, other teams know that they can't meet Ronnie's requirements, and they won't easily give him an invitation contract, so that we can delay the renewal of Ronnie for a longer time."

"Over time, the teams will gradually sign or renew players, their salary space will be less and less, when other teams do not have enough salary space to sign Ronnie, we will be Ronnie's only choice, that is more convenient to lower the price, so the renewal of Ronnie this matter, longer, it is more beneficial to us."

Listening to Li Dai's words, Xiao Yuenan stared at Li Dai with a strange eye.

"I found that you seem to have become so bad that you can think of such a loss!"You didn’t have that many flowers before!”Xiao Yu Nan said with a smile.

“It’s not bad, it’s mature!”Li Dai somewhat squirted his shoulders, but his face smiled triumphantly: "Moreover, to you this Dingtian group before the big lady as a husband, if there is no brain, just silly, maybe you have long been given a break!" 」

...

The Detroit Pistons.

In the conference room, several key personnel and management of the coaching staff have arrived to discuss the direction of the Pistons next season.

“Next season, we’re going to strengthen the front line of the team, and I hope we can get help in that regard.”The coach said.

“Is there a suitable candidate for the coaching staff?”The piston general officer asked.

"The Clippers' Ronnie is a good candidate, and after he became the main force of the Clippers last season, the data has improved a lot.At the moment he's a restricted free agent, and I think we can give him an offer and see if the Clippers match."The coach of the Pistons answered.

“So how much do you think we should offer Ronnie?”The piston general then asked.

"Four years 80 million, it should be almost the same, if not, plus 5 million reward terms, so that the average annual salary is more than 20 million, which should be able to impress Ronnie."And the Clippers just picked a front-line rookie in the draft, and they're probably going to train a rookie, and I think they're likely to give up Ronnie and choose a no-match offer."The coach of the Pistons said.

“Do you think it’s going to make Ronnie in four years, 80 million?”The general manager of the Pistons had a funny smile on his face.

“Is 80 million in four years not enough?”“Does Ronnie want to get paid?”The coach of the Pistons asked.

“Who said no!You probably didn’t pay attention to yesterday’s news, and Ronnie asked the Clippers for $125 million in five years!”The general manager of the Pistons said.

“Oh my God, is the price so high, is Ronnie crazy?”How did the Clippers respond?They certainly won't agree."The coach said immediately.

“The Clippers responded that they were considering it.”The general manager of the Pistons put his hands together and continued: "For five years and 125 million, an average of 25 million a year, which means that if we want to dig Ronnie, we need to open a contract of 100 million in four years, so that he can accept it."Four years and 80 million, he will definitely refuse.Even if Ronnie did accept a four-year offer of 80 million, I guess the Clippers would have chosen to match.After all, 125 million in five years can be considered, that four years 80 million still hesitated?"

Hearing the news, the Pistons coach suddenly frowned.

The Pistons general manager then said, "So, I suggest that the coaching staff should give up Ronnie, let's talk about the next target of the transfer, it will definitely be more practical than Ronnie!"

...

Ronnie played 19+5+3 on the Clippers last season, which is a good one for a small striker.Coupled with his limited free agent this year, naturally there will be teams interested in him.

However, the team is very cautious about the offer of restricted free agent, and when they learned that Ronnie's offer to the Clippers for a five-year 125 million renewal request, they all withdrew.

Ronnie's offer means that other teams need at least four years and 100 million to allow Ronnie to accept the offer, while also not ruling out the Clippers matching the offer.Once the Clippers choose to match the offer, according to NBA rules, the Clippers will have Ronnie's signing rights, then the team that quoted will be an empty bamboo basket.

The rotten team should make the record as bad as possible, and then go to a few points of the list, they can not go to Ronnie to improve their performance, let alone give him a big contract of up to four years.

Although the reinforcement team wants Ronnie, but also think that Ronnie's price is too high, it is better to directly introduce a mature star player to the cost.

The championship team can't see Ronnie, in addition to their interest in superstars, what they need is some cost-effective role players who can escort the superstars of the team.People who are more expensive like Ronnie, who can't reach the All-Star standard, but are stronger than the role players, let him be the core is not enough, let him be a role player and look wasteful, so the team that competes for the title does not need Ronnie's players.

For a while, Ronnie became the unrequited presence of the free agent market.
