A Ton of Superman - Chapter 462
The game the next night, Spain beat Argentina by 87:84, and successfully got the ticket to the finals.
Domestic fans regretted that the strength that Spain showed on the field was really not as good as the current Chinese men’s basketball team. If the Chinese men’s basketball team and the US team were divided into a group when they were grouped, the Chinese men’s basketball team I’m afraid the basket is also able to get the finals tickets.
Next, Argentina will play a third place battle with the Chinese men’s basketball team, competing for a precious bronze medal.
Although Argentina is the second best in Group A, but in fact their strength is placed on the side of Group B. It is not necessarily possible to enter the top three. At least the strength of the Brazilian team will never be worse than Argentina.
In this Olympic Games grouping, the domestic media called Group B, where the Chinese men’s basketball team is, as the death group. Some fans feel that this name is overstated. After all, there is no American team in this group B. How can it be called death? group.
But for the strength of the previous Chinese men’s basketball team, the hope of qualifying in Group B is definitely smaller than that of Group A, saying that the death group is no problem at all.
In Group A, at least the African younger brother Nigeria helped to the bottom. In addition to the United States, Argentina and France, the other two teams are not particularly strong, and may not even be as good as Australia and Britain.
The squad of Argentina is almost similar to that of France.
First of all, the core of the two teams are all produced from the Spurs, Argentina’s head player is the nickname Manu Ginobili.
In addition to Ginobili, the more famous players in Argentina are Scola and Nocioni.
Scola, the domestic fan of this player, is certainly not unfamiliar. Once he was Yao Ming’s younger brother. After Yao Ming retired, he has gradually become the pillar of the team’s internal line, especially the average of 18+8 per game in the 10-11 season. Credit.
As a player with only the 27th overall pick in the second round of the draft, such data can really be called inspirational.
Coincidentally, Scola was selected by the Spurs in the 2002 draft, but the Spurs could not get the transfer fee requested by the Scola mother team at the time, resulting in Scola never landing in the NBA.
Scola is also unlucky, and replaced with another local tyrant team, maybe the money will come out.
Later, until 2007, the Spurs sold Scola’s signing rights to the Mosaic team, and then Scola and the Mosaic team jointly invested to buy out the contract, which is considered to be the dream of the Scolo NBA.
When playing the first NBA game, Scola was already 27 years old…
But it’s not good to say that it’s a blessing for Scola to enter the NBA so late. You must know that the 27-year-old is basically a player with the most powerful age. If Scola entered the league in 2002, maybe It was directly eliminated like Sun Yue before it hit.
In addition to Scola, another striker, Nocioni, is not well-known in the country, but his strength is not worse than Scola. He played for the Chicago Bulls early in his career and had teammates with Deng Yingqiao.
Although this player is a white man, he can’t see a bit of European white player’s play at all. The best offensive end is not shooting and organizing offense, but a breakthrough…
And his breakthrough is not the same as that of others. The breakthrough of others is either fast, strong, or both. Nocioni has nothing. He only has a greasy expression. The second breakthrough was like killing, holding the ball and rushing towards the basket, as if anyone stopped him, he immediately fought with others.
On the defensive end, Nocioni’s defense said that the good point is desperately Sanlang, and the bad point is dirty.
Xiao Fei kicked open shoulders and elbows without defensive moves he couldn’t do. The court is an extremely difficult player. Needless to know, when playing the Chinese men’s basketball team, Argentina will definitely send Nocioni to defend Yi Dun .
Yi Dun also listened to Yi Jianlian and others describing Nocioni’s player, and he had a lot of interest in it. Sounds interesting.
…
On the night that Argentina lost to Spain, the Minnesota Timberwolves boss and team executives, a group of seven or eight people had arrived in Beijing, and then rushed to Dongshan Province that night.
They rushed to Dongshan in such a hurry, the purpose is naturally known to passers-by, nothing more than to be able to determine Yi Dun’s things earlier.
At six o’clock the next morning, two hours before the agreed meeting time, the executives of the Dongshan men’s basketball team had already gathered in the meeting room.
“The boss means that we are solely responsible for this matter.” Gong Xiaobin is now not only the team’s head coach, but also the team’s general manager.
Hearing the boss’s attitude, the executives knew it clearly. The boss meant nothing more than looking at the Timberwolves’ quotation. If appropriate, it’s not impossible to promise the Timberwolves.
Now that the Dongshan men’s basketball team has already created a dynasty in the CBA, if Yi Dun continues to stay, it can only be said to be the icing on the cake. After all, the Dongshan men’s basketball team has trained a large number of regular fans in these years, even if Yi Dun does not play in the Dongshan men’s basketball team. , These fans can not lose in the short term.
If you can get a large buyout fee from the Timberwolves, plus don’t have to pay Yidun’s super high salary every year, here is a **** sale.
Of course, the main reason is that the Yidun contract is coming to an end. Seeing Yidun’s meaning, it seems that he is not ready to renew the contract. It is better to make a profit now.
“Did the boss say what price he could accept?” someone asked.
Gong Xiaobin nodded and held out five fingers at the crowd.
“Five million dollars!”
Everyone is in a different mood, and some feel that this buyout fee is too high. After all, such a high buyout fee has never been seen in China before, let alone in China, and it has not been so high in the basketball circle around the world. Buyout fee.
Yao Ming went to the NBA. Although the Lions of the Shanghai Men’s Basketball Team directly asked for a buyout fee of 30 million US dollars, the final negotiation was 10 million US dollars, and the money was not fully paid. Yao Ming paid in installments for two years. No more.
The most important thing is that the buy-out fee is Yao Ming’s own pocket, and Yi Dun’s is the Timberwolves’ pockets. It’s not at all a piece of cake, so some people think it’s too high and worry that the Timberwolves can’t afford so much money.
In addition to Yao Ming, Paul Gasol is the player with the highest buyout fee in the world today. His mother team requires a $2 million buyout fee. As a result, the Memphis Grizzlies paid $350,000. Gasol He paid $1.65 million for his own money.
Of course, some people feel that this asking price is really too conscientious. Yi Dun now is definitely more dazzling than Yao Ming who didn’t enter the NBA. Even a $10 million buyout fee is not excessive.
Gong Xiaobin didn’t explain much, in his view, the five million dollar buyout fee was actually just right.
Too few words are really unreasonable. The strength of Yi Dun, in the end, only gave a buyout fee of RMB 500,000, which could not be justified.
If you want too much, the Timberwolves will not say it for the time being. If this is passed out, the reputation will not be good, and maybe the reputation will be as bad as the Shanghai men’s basketball street.
Professional basketball itself is a business, and if you don’t have a good reputation, how can you make money in the future?
Therefore, Gong Xiaobin suggested that it should cost five million US dollars, no more and no less, just right.
Other executives saw that the boss had given a psychological price point, and naturally they would not say much. They began to discuss the reconstruction of the team after Yi Dun left, and waited for the arrival of the Timberwolves.
At eight o’clock, the conference room was still there, and the Timberwolves finally appeared.
Looking at the appearance of a few foreigners, Gong Xiaobin felt a little bit unpleasant in his heart. After a while, after the two sides had discussed, Yi Dunke was no longer a player of his Gong Xiaobin.
The leader of this group is naturally the Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor, a small white man looking at some sinister.
Taylor’s company is mainly engaged in glass and plastic products, but it can be called the glass king of the United States.
Gong Xiaobin greeted a few people and sat down. He first greeted the translator and the other party. When he came up and asked for money, it was not very decent.
As a result, Glenn Taylor couldn’t sit still. He came to sign Yidun, and he was still in a hurry. He didn’t want to waste any time.
“We are willing to give a buy-out fee of 10 million US dollars, we will find a way to take out the money as soon as possible in a suitable way, hoping that your team can give up Yi Dun’s contract.” Glenn Taylor said straight away.
The reason why he said he would find a way to take out 10 million US dollars is not to say that the Timberwolves cannot take out 10 million US dollars in cash. After all, Taylor’s worth is more than 1 billion US dollars. US dollars come.
The main reason is that the NBA has a fee limit for transfers of this nature, that is, $350,000. Just like the original transfer of Paul Gasol, the Grizzlies also took the cap of $350,000. .
As for the $1.65 million that Gasol paid out of pocket, whether there is a grizzly help subsidy, then only God knows.
Now the Timberwolves are generally similar in thinking, with 350,000 US dollars on their team’s account, the remaining money can be given to the Dongshan men’s basketball team in the name of Yi Dun.
This is undoubtedly a violation, but for the Timberwolves, violations can only be said to be commonplace, and they have very rich experience in this area.
Hearing that Glen Taylor was about to give 10 million dollars, the executives of the Dongshan men’s basketball team in the conference room were speechless.
Originally, they were only preparing for 5 million, but the other party would give 10 million for each mouth. How could this be adjusted?
The US dollar sent to you at home~www.mtlnovel.com~Is it impossible?
But Gong Xiaobin also worried that if the money was taken down, it would be known to the fans that it was too unpleasant.
Gong Xiaobin was silent for a while, and began to think about countermeasures. Ghentler watched Gong Xiaobin stop talking and suddenly panicked.
He really can’t wait. Now that the other teams haven’t acted yet, if they want to say that they are rich in the league, they won’t be ranked in the Timberwolves.
By then, in the unlikely event that a team like the Knicks, who had a lot of money, came to the Dongshan men’s basketball team, Taylor felt the Timberwolves’ hopes of getting Yi Dun were slim.
Just as he was about to increase the price, Gong Xiaobin spoke.
“10 million is fine, but our contract details must be kept strictly confidential, and no third parties are allowed to know.” Gong Xiaobin thought for a long time, and could only think of such an idea, try not to let the outside world know that they got 10 million US dollars. Buyout fee.
Glenn Taylor rejoiced at the news, which was exactly what he wanted, even if Gong Xiaobin did not say it, he would have to ask for confidentiality.
