Chapter 277 Poison Contract
"Egghead, I, I'm so..." For the team's loss, Curry also felt embarrassed. After the game ended, this guy went to Lao Hu and expressed his apology sincerely.

Looking at this 'big black fat man' with a smile all over his face, his big hands were scratching behind his head, he didn't dare to look directly at him.Seeing him like this, even if Lao Hu was angry, most of it disappeared.

"Forget it! We lost this time, and next time! We haven't reached the age to retire, just keep working hard! There is always a chance!" Now Hu Lin comforted Curry.

"I really didn't expect such a big thing to happen. It was a very happy thing, but I messed up it. I'm such a fool! I..." This guy Curry was about to cry up.

"It's nothing! It's nothing! It's just a game. There are always winners and losers. We lost a lot last season. It's just that we're not used to it this season." Old Hu was still in the mood to joke.

"Ahhh... sorry! Sorry! Aww..." Although Lao Hu's joke level is not very high, it is really unexpected to make this guy Curry cry.

"Hey! Don't cry! Didn't we agree not to cry?"

"Fack! Who did you tell?!"

"Okay, okay, I just forgot to mention it!" Old Hu said irresponsibly.

"You bastard! You really don't blame me?" Curry really stopped crying.

"Why blame you? Even without your stuff, we can't beat the Pistons."

"Don't comfort me!"

"I didn't comfort you, to tell the truth!" What the old man said was indeed what he had in mind. Even with Curry, the Knicks' chances of winning were too small.

"Then we're still friends?"

"You idiot! Of course we are friends!"

While Lao Hu and Curry were arguing about friends or not, other Knicks teammates also came over, including Marbury, Nate, David Lee on crutches, Ah Q in a neat suit, And bubbly Thomas.

"Dantou, we really tried our best, but I really want to win the championship..." The old horse's face was also a little frustrated.

That's right, he came back with such humiliation, but ended up falling on the road to the championship. It's not bad that the old horse didn't cry like Curry.

"Lao Ma, we still have a chance to fight again next year!" Lao Hu had to comfort Marbury again.

"Boss, can we fight here next year?" Nate also spoke, but obviously, his words were a bit pessimistic.

However, before Lao Hu could speak this time, someone had already spoken.

"If you lose, you lose. It's not the end of the world! We will always come back, and one day we will beat everyone and win the championship!" At this time, Thomas' speech was really inspiring, and Nick, who was originally depressed, Team Sri Lanka's eyes began to flash again.

"Yes! We will definitely win the championship! We will definitely!..."

It seems that it is very important to speak well sometimes!
"GO! Knicks! GO!..." Some Knicks fans, after the game, they were reluctant to leave for a long time...

In fact, to be honest, in terms of strength, the Knicks really have a big gap with the Pistons, even worse than the Cavaliers.However, when playing against the Cavaliers, something other than strength appeared, and the Knicks also seized the opportunity, so they defeated the Cavaliers seemingly relatively easily.

However, the Knicks have not changed in terms of strength, and their strength has even dropped sharply because of Curry and Lao Li's inability to play.This also just exposed the biggest flaw of the Knicks, that is, the depth of the bench is not enough, and there is no substitute insider that can be topped up.

Like the Pistons, even if Chris Webber is injured, it's a big deal, but they still have Wallace and McDyess.Among the substitutes, there is a powerful player like Max Hill, but who does the Knicks have?
Channing Frye is already an excellent backup insider for the Knicks. Veteran Malik Rose will continue to fight. He is about to retire, but he is still the Knicks' main backup, mainly blue-collar.Not to mention those who are already considered non-staff like Jerome James, and Cato is also very slow, so running is like walking. How can he earn a living in the NBA?

In addition, the Pistons' outside line is not in vain. MR-BIG-SHOT Billups is the MVP of the finals. He almost killed the Lakers with 'F4' with his own three-pointer. .

Against such a player, Lao Hu really doesn't have many options. He can score a lot of points by himself, which is already good. If he wants to do anything else, he really needs a "soul possession".

Throughout the Eastern Conference Finals, Lao Hu's personal data was quite good, averaging 28.4 points, 6.4 assists, and 3.2 rebounds per game, which is already an MVP-level performance.Of course, in terms of efficiency, he was worse than in previous games, and his personal shooting percentage dropped a bit, averaging only 47%.But under the defense of Billups, it is really not easy for Lao Hu to achieve this result.

So, to be honest, losing to the Pistons is normal based on the Knicks' current staffing!Of course, if Lao Li and Curry can play, the Knicks probably won't lose as badly as 0 to 4, but the chances of winning this series are really not great.Unless Donaghy plays every game, and Lao Hu cooperates seamlessly with others, that will be fine.

After the Eastern Conference finals, Hu Lin can take a vacation. Of course, like last season, he still has a lot of things to deal with, but this time he feels a little bit like returning home.

The reason is very simple, because Hu Lin doesn't know how his Kuo Kuo is doing at home, hey, although he was told that he doesn't need to worry, Hu Lin still wants to see his 'wife' as soon as possible.

However, Lao Hu immediately got another piece of good news.

"Hi! FOREST, I've talked with that guy Thomas, the Knicks have offered a pretty good contract!" This is what this guy Don Michael said, of course, on the phone.

"Oh, not bad. Wouldn't it be a basic salary plus 15?" Old Hu was actually joking, how could he accept this contract now?Even if Lao Hu can accept it, Tang Michael can't accept it!
"How is that possible! Who am I, Don Michael? We are the big names in the agent circle now! Basic salary? Thomas is ashamed to say it?! Don't worry, everything has been negotiated, and the sincerity of the Knicks is very good." Well, they offered a contract of 4 million for 4 years! How is it? Not bad! Haha..."

This guy Tang is very proud, and he does have reasons for being proud. This contract is comparable to a maximum salary contract.It's just that Hu Lin didn't expect the Knicks to be so generous. You must know that the Knicks' current salary structure is very unreliable.Therefore, Lao Hu felt a little surprised.

"I said, are you so good? It's too exaggerated to even get a maximum salary contract?"

"Haha! It's me, Don Michael, who let the Knicks go. Otherwise, I will definitely get you a contract with a maximum annual salary of 2000 million yuan!" Old Tang's bragging has no margin.

"Stop bragging! Doesn't the league have regulations on this aspect? How did we get such a big contract?" It's not like Lao Hu doesn't know anything, how could Lao Tang be fooled?
"Hey, the Knicks can't give it to them, but we can try other teams." Old Tang also had a playful smile on his face, anyway, he was already familiar with him.

"By the way, I can get more than 1000 million U.S. dollars next year?" Lao Hu still felt a little unbelievable.

"Hehe, I'd better tell you the details of the contract..." So, Lao Hu began to listen to Lao Tang talking there.

It turned out that the contract stipulated that Hu Lin could get 700 million US dollars in the first year, 900 million in the second year, and 1000 million in the third year, but there were conditions.The third year is a player option, the fourth year is a team option, and the fourth year is only half guaranteed.That means that in the fourth year, the team can directly kick Lao Hu away, or pay half of his salary to keep him.

Of course, if the game is played well, the contract will be enforced, and if the performance is not good, then both parties have choices, which is fair.

However, after Lao Hu heard the details of this contract, the four words 'poison contract' flashed in his mind!
That's right, a contract like Lao Hu's is called a poison contract in the NBA.Of course, this is from the team's point of view. From the player's point of view, this kind of contract is still very welcome.

However, just won the Most Improved Player Award, and then signed a big poison contract, this is completely the rhythm of the MIP trap!

Forget it, don't think about those things for now, we just need to be worthy of the Knicks, no MIP trap will happen!
In the end, Hu and Tang chatted for a while, and then made an appointment to go to the Knicks headquarters tomorrow to sign a contract.

Lao Hu finished chatting with Lao Tang, and was about to put down the phone, but the phone immediately showed that there was another call.

It's strange, this number is quite unfamiliar, it has never been stored, and I don't have any impression.

But Lao Hu still picked it up. Anyway, he is not afraid of any scammers, and there is no need to care about such a small phone bill. What if someone loses his mobile phone?

"hello!"

"Hello, is this MR Hu?" A very strange voice rang on the other end of the phone.

"I'm Hu Lin, who are you?"

"Hi, MR Hu, my name is William, William Wesley..."

ah? !Uncle Wes?Why is this guy looking for my old Hu?
