On the morning of February 27, Li Liang got up early.

Getting up from the bed, stretching, feeling refreshed.

The battle in Boston Gardens last night was really exciting.

With his help and motivation, the entire Lakers team regained their form and feelings.

In the second half, they beat the Celtics, especially Li Liang's three-pointer, and the entire Garden Arena was silent.

In the end, the Los Angeles Lakers won the championship away and won the O'Brien Cup.

It broke the previous record of the Celtics' six-game winning streak against the Lakers in the Finals and the myth of unbeaten in the finals.

Jabbar won the MVP in the finals, which he deserves to be the honor.

The NBA in that time and space must have been changed that night. I don’t know what kind of innovation David Stern will make after taking office and what impact it will have on the two traditional wealthy families.

Li Liang's harvest was very rich, with the fragments of the third golden shield and more than 30,000 angry values.

He was so happy that this anger value was collected. He felt the enthusiasm of Boston fans, and he also used his enthusiasm and three-pointers as a reward to allow them to enjoy a feast of 21st century basketball.

After getting up, Zhu Shu made breakfast for Li Liang downstairs.

She saw Li Liang looking very happy and asked him why he was in such a good mood.

Li Liang said: "I had a dream last night, dreaming that I won the championship!"

When Zhu Shu heard that he was dreaming, she gave him a bowl of soup and let him drink it and wake up.

"By the way, you went to bed early last night, and Kupchek called and said he might have to discuss the contract with you recently." Zhu Shu said.

"Contract? What kind of contract? When will you negotiate a contract with me?"

It's the end of February now, most of the season has passed, and the playoffs are still early.

Li Liang didn't expect that the Lakers had already started to worry about contract issues.

But it's normal to think about it. Li Liang was a No. 55 pick. He scored into the All-Star in the rookie season and scored the three-pointer. He performed very well in the arena.

In the summer, Li Liang's contract has player options, and the Lakers can expect that Li Liang will inevitably jump out of the contract.

By then, Li Liang will become a restricted free agent, and the Lakers can match the quotes given by other teams.

The problem is that the Lakers have another problem in summer, which is to renew Howard's contract.

Although Howard's performance did not meet expectations due to injury, his role was still obvious.

And he is only 28 years old this year, and it is the peak period of a center forward. The Lakers have no reason not to keep him.

If you sign Howard and the existing contract, the Lakers will not have any room to sign Li Liang.

And because of the previous luxury tax, they did not have middle-class special cases and biennial special cases.

They only have a mini middle class of more than 3 million yuan. Is this worthy of Li Liang?

A few pairs!

Zhu Shu communicated with Li Liang about the relevant information. Li Liang’s goal is to sign a maximum salary in summer.

But according to Arenas' terms, if he breaks out of his contract this summer, other teams can only offer him a middle class.

The Lakers definitely can't match, so Kupchek probably advises Li Liangxia not to jump out of the contract and wait to test the waters of the free market in 2014.

How can the Lakers keep Li Liang then? That's another matter.

If he is worth a lot of money, the Lakers will definitely do their best to operate and make room to sign Li Liang.

However, Li Liang didn't really care about the money.

He cares about something else.

That book of the City of Angels.

"Don't worry about the contract in advance, and finish this season. If Kupchek or the other Lakers ask you to discuss contract issues, you can say that Bruce Lee is focused on playing basketball and does not want to discuss contract issues." Li Liang ordered Zhu Shu.

Zhu Shu nodded, no objection.

If it is another broker, for the sake of the large contract and commercial value, he will definitely analyze with Li Liang what to do to win the best interests.

But Zhu Shu is different. She will think about Li Liang, but she will never think for Li Liang.

She knew that Li Liang had his own scale in his heart, and she could do her best when needed, without any effort.

He does whatever he asks to do.

After discussing the contract at the dining table, Li Liang drove out for training.

...

The team still has no games today, and it is another training day.

Li Liang was not late this time. After arriving at Toyota Center, he found that the TC TV station was coming again.

When he saw Li Liang, the photographer took another shot at him.

Williams, the person in charge, stepped forward to ask Li Liang if he could accept an interview today.

Li Liang nodded in agreement. It was not easy for this TV station to follow the Lakers every day.

There are so many games in a season, except for the different process and scores of each game, everything else is actually the same.

Unless there is something unexpected happening to the team, such as big deals, player injuries, celebrity deaths, jersey retirement, etc.

The team's life is not much different from those office workers.

The TV station has to shoot it in a variety of ways, but it doesn’t have to rack its brains to find a way.

After the training, Li Liang was invited by Williams to the general manager's office. The theme of today's documentary is the day of General Manager Kupchek.

Li Liang thought, what does Kupchek's day have to do with me? I am not his secretary.

Oh ~ It must be related to the contract.

Sure enough, the shooting took place for a while, and Kupchek talked to the players, chatted with the staff, and talked about the general manager's daily work in front of the camera.

Then he found an opportunity to pull Li Liang and asked, "Bruce, how do you feel in Los Angeles? Do you want to stay? You are an All-Star now, and your salary is not very matched with you."

Li Liang smiled and said, "Of course I want to stay, I want to get the maximum salary."

Hearing Li Liang say this, Kupchek smiled and said, "In the summer of 2014, there will be a maximum salary waiting for you."

Kupchek's meaning is very obvious. This year's execution player option stays, and the Lakers will find ways to give him a high salary in the summer of 2014.

As for whether it will be given at that time, it depends on the situation in the summer of 2014. Anyway, if you can use it for 500,000 yuan for a year, why not do it?

Li Liang sneered in his heart, wanting to have sex with me for another free season? It depends on your luck.

If the Angel City Book's mission was related to the Los Angeles Lakers, he would stay with the Lakers to complete the mission in the book.

If the tasks in the book have nothing to do with the Lakers, or if he needs to go to another team to start a new task, he will not be able to take care of that much.

His goal is to be the strongest, not the totem of which team.

Although becoming the Lakers' totem is a great and worthy of pride, Li Liang is not interested in it.

What's there? Isn't it Kobe?

I don't want to be Kobe.

Thinking of this in my heart, Li Liang said, "Of course I will consider it, but now I still have to focus on the game. I hope to bring a championship to the Lakers."

He said in his heart: If I can get you a championship, it wouldn't be considered as if I owe you. I have no sincerity in negotiating a contract, so I brought the media to put pressure on me. Or is it that Kupchek takes action, what about Little Buss? Where is Jenny Buss?

After Jerry Bass' death, the Lakers have entered the Jupiter era.

I don’t know if it’s Little Bus’ idea to keep Li Liang.

Or he doesn't want to keep Li Liang at all, who knows?

...

On February 28, the last day of February, the Lakers played against the Timberwolves at home.

In this game, the Lakers ushered in a big victory again, sweeping away their opponents 119:94 and 25 points.

After the All-Star Game, the Lakers' overall feeling is getting better and better.

Mike Brown's previous strategy of giving Nash Kobedo a break paid off.

Kobe was in very good form tonight, making 4 of 8 three-pointers, scoring 33 points, sending 7 assists, and grabbing 8 rebounds.

Another MVP-level performance.

The Timberwolves were suppressed throughout the game, falling behind since the first quarter, and being beaten to no avail.

In comparison, Li Liang's data is not obvious, and he focuses on defense again.

Recently, he doesn't seem to care at all about whether the data is good or not. Even if he is garbage time, he doesn't need the medal of the "Garbage King" anymore.

Why, it's mature!

How can a mature player be obsessed with data? What kind of triple-double or double-double are you obsessed with?

Winning is the most important thing.

Of course, another reason is that Li Liang has to start focusing on system tasks again.

He hopes to improve his strength a little before the playoffs begin.

He really wanted to see what kind of basketball game this playoffs is.
Chapter completed!
