Chapter 17 17. The Eve of the Free Market



Chapter 17 17. The Eve of the Free Market
On the night of June 6, a Boeing Boeing plane of United Airlines flew over Los Angeles, destined for Sacramento in central California.

Players will choose to play cards to kill off the one and a half hour flight time.

Typically, how much a player can lose depends on how long the flight is.

Most of the time, the players play small amounts, but once the flight starts to creep down, they double the amount until they finally hit the ground.

Sometimes it's a hundred dollars in one hand, and if it's that kind of flight across the United States, it's not uncommon for a player to lose $[-] or $[-].

The salaries of the rookies of the Lakers are not high, even if they sign a contract of 100 million, they will not live too extravagantly.

Most players will choose a small game of $[-], booray is the most common way to play.

Lin Feng didn't understand this kind of gambling, and Gary Smith didn't remember it, so he spent most of his time as a spectator or handing water to his teammates.

Josh Hart was in charge, and he loved playing poker.

Before boarding the plane, Hart told Lin Feng that if Marco Jones was still on the team, he would definitely beat him up.

Nearly twelve o'clock, the plane landed at Saskatchewan International Airport, and the double-decker bus was already waiting outside.

They will check into the hotel directly and wait for the medical examination tomorrow morning after resting overnight.

Sacramento does not look as prosperous as Los Angeles, but it is the capital of California. It was originally a castle built by Swiss immigrants. In 1848, gold with high purity was accidentally discovered in the river, which soon set off a famous gold rush.

Sacramento also quickly became an important economic and transportation hub from a small town, and the first transcontinental railway terminal was built here.The city of Sacramento was also established, becoming the earliest autonomous city in California, and became the capital of California in 1854.

Lying on the soft big bed of the Howden Hotel, it was already close to twelve o'clock, and the countdown to the opening of the free market began.

As a melon eater, Lin Feng naturally kept checking Twitter, waiting for the final result of his $20.

There is no shortage of big-name players like James, George, and Cousins ​​in the free market, as well as immediate combat power like Ariza and Rondo.

A strange thought flashed through Lin Feng's mind, this is a business alliance full of money, will he use it as a bargaining chip tonight?
The Lakers in the previous life did not have a character like Gary Smith, and there was a fight in the training game in the morning. Will Aunt Jenny think that she is a difficult prick and be sent to Oklahoma or Houston as a bargaining chip.

If it really happened, then Lin Feng would really have to laugh and cry, and he had no choice but to take his talent away from Los Angeles.

He shared this strange idea with Perkins, who was in Los Angeles, and the latter was shocked after hearing it.

As an agent, he has not received any information about trading Gary. Of course, if Aunt Jenny or the magician wants to send him away, he only needs to send a text message to Perkins after the trading market opens.

Lin Feng has already regarded Los Angeles as his home, and has started looking for an apartment for sale, planning to take his adoptive father and Evelyn over.

It seems that he has to take it easy, anything can happen before the official contract is signed.

Hart also seemed to worry about his place with the Lakers in brightly lit Los Angeles.

In the deal that Clarkson and Nance were sent to Cleveland at the beginning of the year, he once thought that he was going to partner with James to compete for the championship.

What happened later was that Hart continued to stay in Los Angeles, while his two good brothers went to Ohio to serve as the son of Akron's right-hand man. Although the finals were swept by the Warriors, at least they tasted the taste of the ultimate game.

"And I and Kuzma continue to work hard for the playoffs." Hart said.

In fact, not only Lin Feng, but the entire rookie team of the Lakers are waiting for the team's performance in the free market.

Although the introduction of new players will intensify competition, at least the team's record will be better.

"There were rumors a few days ago that Randall would be sent away by the team, just like Russell before."

Hart continued to say that he believed in Woj's information speed, and his mobile phone page stayed on Woj's homepage all the time, admiring his brain full of wisdom.

Lin Feng's heart was surging, he was only a few minutes or hours away from becoming a millionaire.

According to the previous life, James only informed the decision through his agent Rich Paul at 7 pm on July 1, US time.

Hart invited a few good teammates to his room for a small party, among them was the bald Mamba Caruso, who joined the Lakers in the same year as Hart, and now has a two-way contract with an annual salary of around $[-]. .

The relationship is very delicate. Hart, Lin Feng and Caruso have all played point guards. It can be said that the relationship in the team is a competition for posts. Everyone's performance affects the other two.

Hart doesn't seem to care, he simply likes to make friends.

Caruso is not very talkative, basically acting as a listener.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the distance from 0 o'clock was getting closer and closer.The alliance is about to give birth to tens of millions of big contracts.

For Lakers fans, they are most concerned about two objects, one is James, and the other is Paul George.

As a native of Los Angeles, George has expressed his desire to play for his hometown team several times, and even mentioned it explicitly or implicitly in the three promotional videos he shot.

Lin Feng clearly remembered that not long after the free market started, George announced that he would stay with the Thunder and signed a four-year 4 million maximum salary contract.

Lakers fans were disappointed, and George liked to mention the nickname "Joe Shouxin".

As a fan, Lin Feng used to be one of the fans who scolded the street. Now that he has become a professional player, especially the last round pick of the Lakers, it is conceivable that he is under a lot of pressure.

The one-week experience made him understand that this is a business league through and through, and of course there are many young men who are really chasing basketball dreams to show their skills in it.

But more is the relationship between money and interests, and no one has trouble with money.If it weren't for the bug-level special ability of "foreseeing for three seconds", Lin Feng would definitely be willing to pay him a team with a higher price.

As for Paul George's choice, Lin Feng can only say that he must follow his own heart!
"Gary, would you like some pizza?"

Hart walked in with a box of Jamaican Chicken Pizza, a guy who likes weird foods that are said to inspire him on the field.

"Woow! Randall is going to the Pelicans, that strong guy still owes me a meal!"

It seems that Hart has a good relationship with Randall.

"How do you know?" Lin Feng smeared his mouth with oil.

"woj just tweeted, but it's just a guess, I'm going to call and see how he's doing."

After speaking, Hart took out his mobile phone and called Randall.

As early as 14, Julius Randle was selected by the Lakers with the 7th pick in the first round. He is currently the last Kobe Bryant teammate in the Lakers.

If Randall is sent away, the Lakers will completely usher in the post-Kobe era.

Lin Feng listened to the phone call between Hart and Big Brother with great interest. The content was not very optimistic. I'm afraid Randall would really be sent away.

Because Randall wants a multi-year contract, and the Lakers only want to give it one year in order to maintain flexible salary space.

"It seems that our team will have a big change." Lin Feng said casually.

"Well, hopefully we can stay on the team."
