NBA: Expansion becomes stronger

"20 million a year?!".

The magician was shocked.

He was shocked not only by the annual salary of 20 million a year, but by how many teams besides the Grizzlies were openly and secretly poaching Chen Hao.

If Chen Hao fails to resist the temptation and agrees directly, the Lakers will lose blood.

As the first team to sign Chen Hao, the Lakers have a natural advantage in renewing Chen Hao's contract, but ...... If you can't make an offer in advance, you can't show your position.

Chen Hao also has no reason to stay with the Lakers.

Basketball is also a business league after all.

A good enough contract will have a high probability of retaining people.

Come to think of it.

"Magician" John suddenly became more stressed.

"No, we can't wait any longer, the appointment with Chen Hao must be further advanced. "

......

Tony followed Chen Hao's idea and put out the Grizzlies' offer.

As soon as the news came out.

Undoubtedly detonated the network.

A rookie, a draft pick who didn't even participate in the draft, and his first official contract is 3 years and 60 million.

You must know that even this year's champion Xiu Fultz only signed an annual salary of 37 million for 4 years, and this season is less than 8 million salary.

And Chen Hao.

In the first section, there is an annual salary of 18 million.

That's a big gap.

However...... And that's not really what surprised the fans.

With the lessons of the Clippers, fans know it in their hearts, but Chen Hao quoted the Grizzlies' offer, so there is a high probability that he will not choose this contract.

Yes.

18 million a year, 60 million for 3 years, Chen Hao ...... He didn't want to.

What a domineering thing this is!

What a confidence!

What an inflate!

“are、you、killing、me？！"

"Don't want 60 million in 3 years?Chen Hao, are you the devil?!".

"What is someone Chen thinking? You are still just a newcomer, this part is so good to you, how can you not want it?!".

"I didn't understand it, but ...... This is in line with Chen's approach. "

"Grizzly Bear: I seem to be a little uncomfortable when I see this news. "

"Continue to eat melons and look forward to the follow-up. "

"Ditto, what kind of contract do you expect Chen Hao to get in the end?".

“......"

Fans are buzzing.

And the league's team executives who are interested in winning Chen Hao, when they received this offer, the corners of their mouths twitched fiercely, and they all felt that the grizzly bear was too ruthless.

60 million in 3 years!

With this big annual contract, it is completely possible to sign a star player with stable output and even specialties, but for Chen Hao, who has only played 4 games, there are too many uncertainties.

High prices dissuade you from quitting.

More than half of the teams retreated, feeling something unworthy.

And some of the teams that continue to want to win Chen Hao are also struggling, thinking about what kind of contract they need to sign Chen Hao.

Meanwhile.

Over time.

Night falls.

Extremely Cold Land...... Target Center Arena, Minnesota.

The Timberwolves will host the Lakers tonight.

The Timberwolves have Jimmy Butler this season, and their strength has increased dramatically.

Butler + Downs + Wiggins.

The new season of the Timberwolves won by a huge margin.

With a current record of 3 wins and 1 loss, Towns averaged 28.4 points, 15.5 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 2.1 blocks per game, and in the last game, he also scored 27 rebounds against the Clippers, surpassing Chen Hao and becoming the player with the highest single-game rebounds this season.

Both stats and team records.

Downs Totho's best performance of the week.

Why?

Chen Hao and Harden's performance was too strong to make Towns even disqualified.

And Butler.

He made his first Eastern Conference All-Star starter last season.

Progress has been remarkable.

As an all-round forward, he came to the Timberwolves, averaging 24.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 2.2 steals per game, continuing the star level of the Bulls in the last few seasons.

This year's Timberwolves have the urge to love people.

Fighting at home, they are favored by fans, who are optimistic that they can defeat Chen Hao, who has been in the ascendancy recently, and end the Lakers' 4-game winning streak.

Pre-game.

Wiggins was interviewed by reporters, and the reporter asked: "The core of winning the Lakers is to limit Chen Hao's play, do the Timberwolves privately designate a tactic to limit Chen Hao?"

"Of course. "

Wiggins said confidently: "I have watched the footage of the Lakers' recent games, especially Chen Hao's performance in the last game, which has been thoroughly studied by us. "

"Tonight...... The Timberwolves could end the Lakers' winning streak. "

The other side.

Chen Hao, the leader of the Lakers and the absolute core, was also interviewed by a beautiful reporter.

"Mr. Chen Hao, you always have amazing performances on the court, gorgeous dribbling, amazing anti-rebounding talents, etc., I don't know if you will continue your novel performance tonight?!".

The beautiful reporter asked with a smile.

"Well......

this."

Chen Hao raised his eyebrows and said leisurely: "Please look forward to it." "

“wow~"

"Tonight is going to be a great game. "

Chen Hao sold a little pass.

The beautiful reporter was excited, not only him, but also the audience looked forward to it one by one.

[The host obviously does not have the ability of [Ball Control Master], [Breakthrough Master] and [God Preball Point], but he can still sell off in front of beautiful women lightly, which is quite inflated. Bonus: 25 Expansion Points. 】

Uh....

"Am I being complained about by the system?!".

Chen Hao looked helpless.

"Forget it, the expansion becomes stronger, it can make me stronger, so I don't care about you. "

End of interview.

Soon.

The warm-up was over, and the starters of both sides began to play slowly.

Minnesota Timberwolves starters: Jeff Teague (guard) + Andrew Wiggins (forward) + Ty Gibson (forward) + Jimmy Butler (forward) + Karl Anthony Towns (center).

Los Angeles Lakers starters: Lonzo Ball (guard) + Kentavios Cardwell Pope (guard) + Kyle Kuzma (forward) + Brandon Ingram (forward) + Chen Hao (center).

Middle circle.

Downs and Chen Hao jump ball.

"So far this season, Downs has not conceded a jump ball, and even Chen Hao has left a jump ball once, tonight...... Can he fight Chen Hao?!".

"No!".

In the back studio, in the face of O'Neill's question, Barkley categorically denied it.

"Chen Hao made Little Jordan's jump ball, the reason why Downs didn't lose the free throw was because he didn't meet Chen Hao, this jump ball, as long as Chen Hao was serious, he would definitely win it. "

Barkley's words must not give Downs face.

"It's so ruthless!".

O'Neill shook his head, thinking that only Barkley dared to say that he was not afraid of death.
