System: I am always awesome in the NBA

Even if you add the two together, it's still less than one percent of this skill.

"Jie Jie Jie!"

Someone's triumphant laughter echoed throughout the villa of several hundred square meters throughout the entire night.

……

Early the next morning, the Lakers players boarded a bus and slowly drove out, moving slowly along the streets of Los Angeles.

The championship logo on the car body seems to be announcing the return of the king to the whole city.

The streets on both sides were already crowded with enthusiastic fans.

The cheers were like surging waves, one after another.

The children rode on their father's shoulders, their little faces flushed red, and cheered excitedly with the crowd.

In the shops along the street, the owners came out and joined the cheering crowd.

The chefs and waiters in the restaurant also ran to the window, waved their cutlery and cheered for the heroes on the bus.

The entire Los Angeles seemed to have stopped functioning, and everyone's eyes were focused on this bus.

"Lin Hao! Stay!"

Suddenly, a fan in the crowd shouted loudly.

The people around suddenly came to their senses.

Yes, Lin Hao’s contract expires this season!

We can't let him go!

"Lin Hao! Stay!"

"Lin Hao! Stay!"

……

Then, the people around also shouted in unison.

Gradually, more and more people joined in the shouting.

Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands...

The shouts rose and fell, echoing over the city again and again.

Lin Hao couldn't help but be moved.

He looked at the enthusiastic fans and felt a warm feeling in his heart.

Looking at Lin Hao, Kobe's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something.

But in the end, he remained silent.

At this time last season, he still strongly urged Lin Hao to stay.

but now……

Kobe suddenly felt bitter in his heart.

……

The Lakers' championship celebration is over, but the Los Angeles fans are still lingering.

They gathered in groups of three or four to have a lively discussion.

The only topic of discussion was whether Lin Hao would stay.

"I don't think so. Los Angeles is so big and prosperous, Lin Hao will definitely not leave easily!"

"You're stupid! When it comes to prosperity, New York is far better than Los Angeles, okay? And what about Houston? And Philadelphia? And Chicago?"

"Oh, yes. Yao Ming is from Houston. Lin will probably go there for the sake of his compatriot."

"Oh my god! If Lin Hao really went to Houston, with a Yellow Jesus and Yao Ming and McGrady, that lineup..."

"You idiots, don't you have any brains? I can guarantee that Lin Hao will never leave."

"Then I'd like to hear it carefully! If you can't count to one, two, three today, don't even think about leaving!"

……

A white guy wearing glasses said with foam splashing mouth:

"Well, listen carefully."

"Do you know who is the highest paid Lakers player besides Kobe?"

"Let me tell you, it's Brian Grant, and his salary is $1323 million."

"Oh my god!" Everyone was stunned upon hearing this.

(Don't believe it, this is real. A guy averaging 3 points and 3 rebounds per game makes only a fraction less than Kobe Bryant.)

"If we want to renew Lin Hao's contract, he'll have to offer at least the maximum salary. Am I right?"

"As long as we cut Brian Grant and a few unknown players, how much salary cap space will we have?"

"Besides us, which other team can afford Lin Hao's big contract?"

The white guy continued.

"Yes!"

Everyone suddenly understood.

This time it’s stable!

……

Lakers general manager's office.

"It was because of you that I only signed a one-year contract with Lin Hao."

"Tell me, how much money will we lose if we want to renew his contract now?"

Jerry Buss was looking furious and yelling at Kupchak.

Kupchak had something in his mind that he didn't know whether to say it or not.

Wasn’t this contract given to you for review at the beginning?

What? Now I have to take all the blame?

"Tell me, how are you going to keep Lin Hao?"

Jerry Buss said.

"A maximum salary contract!"

"Gone?"

"Gone."

"Shet!"

Jerry Buss was furious and pointed at Kupchak and cursed:

"What? You're sending Lin Hao away with a max salary contract? Are you treating him like a beggar?"

"Do you know how many teams offered him a maximum salary contract?"

"As far as I know, there are at least eight! Eight!"

Kupchak said hurriedly:

"Mr. Bass, don't worry. I have my own way to deal with this matter."

"any solution?"

"You know, Lin is a very sentimental kid. He has a brotherly relationship with Kobe and Lamar."

"Makes sense!"

Jerry Buss nodded.

"Jie Jie Jie!"

The two old men looked at each other and laughed sinisterly.

Playing the emotional card and tying Lin Hao down with emotion is simply amazing!

"No! Wait a minute!"

"According to rumors, a team has promised Lin unlimited shooting rights."

"And some rich guy gave him a blank check."

"What you said is far from enough."

Jerry Buss suddenly said.

"Of course it's not enough, I still have a trump card!"

Kupchak added.

"Oh, tell me about it!"

Jerry Buss quickly approached him.

"From Lin's performance in the finals, we can see that he has a strong desire for the championship."

"And, his biggest desire is to surpass Michael Jordan."

"He's already won two championship rings with the Lakers. If he wants to win three or four consecutive championships..."

Kupchak whispered.

"Great! Mr. Kupchak, choosing you as general manager is the best decision I have ever made in my life."

"We only paid a maximum salary to keep Huang Jesus. This time we made a big profit!"

Jerry Buss patted him on the shoulder with approval.

"Jie Jie Jie!"

In the office, the sinister laughter of the two old men was heard again.
