During the off-season, the annual Summer League began!
Every team basically sent their newly selected rookies or young players from the third team to participate. Here, they could see the performance of the rookies in advance.
The Wizards took the lead against the Golden State Warriors!
Wall, the top scorer, was already on the field to lead the team. The position of the top scorer on the team was obvious. He had control over the ball, offense, and assists.
His speed was like lightning on the field!
Breaking through the heavy encirclement could destroy the defense and score easily. His first step was very fast, and the opponent could not keep up with the misplaced defense at all.
And this time, Wall's opponent was the Asian player, Lin Shuhao!
He also had the blood of China flowing in his veins, and he was not favored at the same time. However, with his firm belief, his performance in this match was average and not very bad.
But Wall still managed to get 24 points and 8 assists to lead his teammates to victory over the Warriors.
Then it was the Kings 'Cousin. His strong physique, flexible footwork, and shooting ability allowed him to do all kinds of evil on the field!
Even though he wasn't as terrifying as Shaquille O'Neal, he was enough to dominate the paint in this league.
His ability to play under the basket was heaven-defying. No one could stop him from hitting the basket. No one could stop him!
His precise shots were unstoppable. With the threat of shooting, it was easier for him to score under the basket.
He had contributed a near-kill in his debut, and the team was very optimistic about his future.
Even more terrifying was Paul George, who was selected by the Pacers to lead the team to play in the summer league!
Powerful and explosive style of play, elegant and smooth shooting and dribbling, dunks from afar, resistance and breakthroughs, nothing was a problem.
The basket was like a magnet in front of him. When he came close to the basket, he was directly sucked over and dunked. There were even three-pointers from mid-range!
Perfect height and wingspan. Although it wasn't too high or too low, the Pacers had picked up a treasure this time.
Of course.
This was Xia Lian. No matter how well they played, it didn't mean anything. If they wanted to prove themselves, they still needed to perform well on the big stage of the NBA in the new season.
The other rookies did not perform very well in the Summer League. These three were the most talented representatives.
These few summer league games had also impressed the fans and the team's management!
Everyone had their own unique strengths and abilities, and the most important thing was that they had a heart that refused to admit defeat. This was especially similar to Kobe.
In everyone's eyes, they would be the cornerstone of their respective teams in the future and would also give the team ample hope for the future. No one knew how they would perform in the regular season.
……
The trading market was still open, and the battle for Wonder Boy was still ongoing.
Austin and Su Rui are still waiting for the Green Army's offer!
Because Su Rui intended to stay in the Green Army, when the edge of the Big Four faded, Su Rui would take over the team.
At this moment, after the management had dealt with the contract extension of the four giants, the next step was to discuss the contract issue of Su Rui.
In Su Rui's view, there was no problem for him to get a contract that satisfied him. After all, helping them win the championship, he was the savior of the finals, not to mention winning the FFVP.
Therefore, the Green Army should give him a big contract to match his performance.
But…
A phone call was made to Austin.
That's right, after waiting for a long time, they finally got a call from the Green Army's management. Austin answered the call with a happy mood, looking forward to the moment when the Green Army talked about the contract.
"It's like this, we plan to renew Su Rui's contract with 12 million for three years, which is 4 million for one year.”
Austin was stunned when he heard this.
'Four million a year? This is almost like a rookie's contract. Isn't this too different from our expectations?'
Austin couldn't believe it.
"What do you think? I've heard that other teams have offered very high prices, but after our discussion, this is the only price.”
The voice of the Green Army's management sounded very firm.
"Is there no other price?"
Austin tried to salvage the situation.
"We can't raise the price anymore. This is the final bid.”
After a fierce exchange, Austin hung up the phone. He also did not refuse, nor did he reject. He hoped to respect Su Rui's opinion, but this offer was too much.
Austin immediately called Su Rui.
" The Green Army…has made an offer. They've already discussed it, and they plan to…renew your contract with a price of 12 million for three years. That's 4 million for one year. What do you think of the price for the rookie flower…"
Austin was looking forward to Su Rui's reaction.
"Wha…what?"
Su Rui was suddenly speechless.
"It's like this. I've communicated with them!
Their general manager, Danny Ainge, thinks that although your performance in these two games is very good, even superb!
However, it was still too coincidental. He really did not dare to take this risk, so the contract could only give this price at most.
Of course, I also asked for another reason. It was actually related to the salary space of the team.
The Big Four all had big contracts, not to mention Ray Allen, Pierce, and Rondo. If you wanted to get a big contract, you had to trade for a big player.
Judging from their attitude, they were very determined. They did not want to trade any of the four giants and did not want to lose the champion team.”
These were the reasons given to Austin by the Green Army's management.
Su Rui was also confused, and the words he wanted to say were choked in his mouth.
"They also said that basketball needs to settle down. They hope that you can consider it carefully and not bite off more than you can chew. In their opinion, you can still win another championship if you stay in the Green Army.”
At this time, Su Rui's mind was in turmoil and he couldn't believe this fact!
Just as he thought, there was no place for him in the team. This was a team that belonged to the Big Four, and he could not develop well.
" Don't be too disappointed. They had no choice but to make this choice. They have also made their words clear, so..."
At this time, Austin had already repeated the original words of the Green Army management to Su Rui. The next step was to see Su Rui's personal thoughts.
"Basketball needs to settle down? What a joke!"
Who are you looking down on!
After Su Rui heard these words, he narrowed his eyes and was somewhat angry.
However…
It only lasted for a moment.
Soon Su Rui was relieved. One person and one city was good, but there was no need to force it. Moreover, his real career.
It would definitely start from the next season.
Then, he had to be careful when choosing a team. Moreover, he had a golden finger. It was best for him to join a team that was not very strong.
Become the core.
Only then would he be able to play better and benefit his own development.
The Green Army doesn't want me? I don't care.
Thinking of this, Su Rui dialed Austin's phone again.
"You've thought about it so quickly?"
Austin asked.
"Yes."
"I choose to give up the Green Army and join another team!"”*
