Chapter 119 119. Welcome New Classmates (for Subscription)
7月3日，猛龙与洛瑞达成3年1亿的合同口头协议，与伊巴卡达成了一份3年6500万的合同口头协议。
The Cavaliers have reached a three-year, $3 million contract extension with free agent Kyle Korver.
The Timberwolves have agreed to a two-year, $2 million contract with Gibson.
Gibson is a good blue-collar player, but the Thunder don't have enough salary space, and they really won't keep it.
Millsap has reached a verbal agreement with the Nuggets on a three-year, $3 million contract.
On the 5th, free agent Patrick Patterson has reached a three-year 3 million verbal agreement with the Thunder, of which the third year is a player option.
The team's power forward position must be introduced by players. Patterson has a certain three-point ability and is also a relatively good choice. The annual salary is less than 550 million, which is almost the money Westbrook saved.
On the 6th, Rudy Gay has reached a two-year contract of 2 million + with the Spurs, of which the second year of the contract is a player option.
Gay is also a very mature striker, becoming Leonard's substitute will greatly strengthen the Spurs' striker.
Now better strikers are really popular. Who knows what method Presti used to persuade George, and it really takes a certain amount of courage to bet on George's year with two young people!
The addition of Jarrett Allen and George is very useful to the team.
Historically, Allen blocked James' dunks when he was in the second grade. You must know that the number of dunks blocked by James in his entire career can only be counted on one hand.
It can do a good job of protecting the basket.
And rim protection is an aspect that the Thunder currently lacks. Adams and Kanter are both tall and heavy. Adams can defend but not rebound in the backcourt. Kanter can attack but is unwilling to defend.
And a blue-collar player like Allen doesn't need the ball and possession of shots. With Westbrook around, the cake is enough.
The substitute insider averaged 7-8 points and 6 rebounds per game, and his worth came out.
In the early morning of the next day, Richard saw the press conference where George officially signed the contract on the TV program. George, holding the No. 13 jersey in his hand, was being interviewed by local and national media in Oklahoma.
Presti was very excited at the scene, "We are very excited to welcome Paul to the Thunder family. Whether on or off the court, George can be of great help to our team. He is a top competitor. We like his spirit of constant pursuit of success to prove his value."
"He's always improving and has a traditional drive to win," Presti continued. "We're excited to have such a unique player wear the Thunder uniform."
George didn't talk too much at the scene, maybe he is still thinking about going to the Lakers next year.
But in front of the entire league expressing that they want to play with the Lakers, the Lakers did not take any action and were unwilling to pay any bargaining chips. Could it be that they want to wait until George becomes a free agent during the offseason next year?
"Man, Sports Grill tonight, see you at 8 o'clock." Westbrook sent the final meeting place.
Sports Grill?Isn't this a very famous nightclub?The nightclub that even Richard, who doesn't go out often, knows, it's really very famous.
"What? Are you going to a nightclub?" Luo Xi blushed and scolded Richard, not sure if it was because of anger or because he knew that the place Richard was going to was a nightclub.
"I..." Richard didn't dare to show his anger, and it was really embarrassing to ask his girlfriend to go to the nightclub to have fun.
"The team has a few new players, and we're going to get together. Russell organized it." Richard pulled Westbrook as a shield. As a representative of self-discipline in life without rumors, Westbrook, who is already a father, is more convincing.
"Russell has a family, of course he can withstand the temptation..." Luo Xi's face turned even redder.
The sudden stop of speech made Richard stunned for a moment, and Luo Xi's voice was a little deep...
"...What are you thinking! Do you like going to nightclubs that much?" Luo Xi quickly changed the subject and continued to point the finger at Richard.
"I've never been there, how could I like it?"
"So you really want to meet him, don't you?"
"No, no, no, I used to do nothing but drink, and report to you on the phone at any time, I promise you!" If the topic continues to be paced by Luo Xi, Richard will be sentenced to death, but in fact there is nothing.
The quick expression finally calmed down Luo Xi's breath, and it seemed that he was not so angry anymore.
"Lock the door after 12 o'clock!" Luo Xi slammed the next sentence and walked away.
Richard secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead.
In the evening, Richard arrived at the Sports Grill on time. The nightclub is located near the downtown area of the metropolitan area. There are a lot of people and luxury cars. The nightclub is not only a huge building, but also has a stage outside, where open-air parties can also be held.
Huge searchlights shoot light into the sky, constantly intertwined to form light and shadow, which is very magical.
When Richard walked to the gate of the nightclub, there were actually two burly men guarding the gate. Of course, these two big men were considered short in front of Richard.
Seeing Richard coming, the two of them looked up and down for a long time, and Richard felt a little nervous. Fortunately, he was not stopped by his hand when he entered the door, otherwise Richard would not know how to deal with it.
Fortunately, under Luo Xi's training, Richard is no longer dressed in the same old fashioned clothes as before, or like a salesman, tall and wearing trendy brands, Richard is still a bit handsome and handsome.
It is estimated that these two big men see themselves because they are not black and white people. After entering the nightclub, Richard had such an idea.
The nightclub was pitch black, except for a few revolving ball lights on the stage that scattered light of various colors, there were only a few spotlights, which also turned around at various angles, making it difficult for people to adapt to the rapid changes in light, resulting in a more psychedelic feeling.
Of course, it was even more difficult to find someone, and Richard, the waiter dressed as a bunny girl, was resolutely embarrassed to say hello, so he just stood at the door in a daze.
This can be regarded as putting myself in an obvious position. If I'm lucky, my teammates should see me...
"Li Cha!" A shout pierced through the loud music and entered his ears.
Richard looked around, and it was easy to find people who were taller than ordinary people.
Westbrook ordered the most central stage, facing the indoor stage.
There are many kinds of performances on stage, and this is one of them.
Waving to the person who called him to show he knew, Richard lowered his eyes and walked over quickly. No wonder Luo Xi would not allow himself to come to such a place.
Richard came to the booth, chose a seat with his back to the stage and sat down, and then looked at the people who had already taken their seats.
Among them was not the organizer Westbrook, but a handsome young man with a square face and a mustache. It was Paul George who he was familiar with but the other party didn't necessarily know him.
Westbrook sits on George's left and is the host.
There are also Robertson, Kanter and an afro with a long face. You should know that this is Jarrett Allen without thinking.
Adams returned to New Zealand during the offseason. Brother Collison probably doesn't want to come to such a feasting place anymore, so there are only six people present.
"Richard, we came a little early, and we've already opened the wine. Look what you want to drink and order it yourself." Westbrook's words opened up a topic for Richard, and he also took the issue of the meeting time of the two parties on himself, so as not to create unnecessary negative impressions on each other.
"It's fine with me and beer." Richard can't drink foreign wine, it's not that the taste and sweetness of foreign wine brewed from grain are not suitable for him.
"Come and introduce, this is our new brother, All-Star forward, Paul George!"
"This must be our best rookie and best sixth man, Richard." George looked stern, without a smile on his face, and his eyes were very complicated. He held up a glass of foreign wine and respected Richard.
Richard picked up a bottle of beer and touched George, and Westbrook also raised his glass to join the two.
It’s really complicated. Looking at George’s appearance, he really wants to integrate into the team. The so-called chemical reaction first requires mutual trust between players. In order to become a free agent during the offseason and play his worth, no matter which team he goes to, George will definitely integrate into it.
So use words like "we" to remind yourself and your future teammates that we're all on one team.
But George, who is also not good at socializing, wrote his mood on his face. His stern expression showed that he was not ready to live with such new faces for a year.
On the contrary, Allen was very excited. Richard was only a sophomore rookie. He had already prepared a lot of questions and wanted to ask him. The opportunity to be on the same team as last year's best rookie was very rare, and it would definitely help him a lot.
So Allen stepped in after the three of them had had a drink, introduced himself to Richard, and then asked questions, but left aside the big brother of the team who should be respected.
"Jarrett, you need to have two more drinks with Richard. Before the draft, he recommended you to the team." Westbrook didn't get angry, but was an adult beauty.
Wasn't it you, Westbrook, who came to ask at that time? How did it become recommended by me, Richard.
But having said that, Richard naturally took over, and he and Allen started blowing casually.
Kanter and Robertson also joined in, and a table of six people was very happy to have a good drink.
Richard saw that the expression on George's face gradually began to change, the smile slowly hung up, and he gradually started talking and laughing with everyone.
Hey, it turned out to be just a tsundere guy, no wonder he couldn't stand the bombardment of Westbrook's true feelings.
