The training for the four of them started at 8 a.m.
By 9:00, other members of the Kings team had arrived.
This year, the Kings signed Paul and James, two big players, and the team's salary space was instantly compressed.
James $38 million;
Paul $35 million;
Wang Yi US$30.1 million; (The average annual salary is 28 million, which does not mean it is 28 million every year. According to the contract, it will change to varying degrees every year.)
Wang Yi and Paul almost divided up the team's 100 million salary space.
The remaining players have a combined salary space of just over 30 million.
Among them, Capela, a big center, has more than 20 million.
Hield also has 15 million.
So this year's Kings team will definitely have to pay the luxury tax.
However, the owner, Dr. Rana, is also very generous. This year is an excellent opportunity for the Kings to win three consecutive championships. If the Kings can win three consecutive championships, the benefits will be far greater than the luxury tax.
After last season, someone made an offer to Danny.
Because Danny had a buzzer-beater in the playoffs last season and shot pretty good three-pointers in several important games, some teams offered him an annual salary of more than 15 million.
But Danny refused outright.
Now Dani only has eyes for Wang Yi.
Wherever Wang Yi is, he will go.
No matter how high or low his salary is.
Just like the little licking dog Mitchell.
It's just that Mitchell didn't have the ability to go out and have no choice but to hold on to Wang Yi's thigh.
Danny is because he feels that Wang Yi is the only person closest to him in the world.
So Danny signed a one-year contract worth 8 million.
The reason why he only signed for one year is because Wang Yi's contract will expire next year.
Wherever Wang Yi goes, he will follow.
Even a basic salary is fine.
In fact, based on his performance, even if he is offered 15 million, a lot of people will want him.
You know, such 3D players are very popular in the league.
No possession of the ball, no running-in problems.
It can be matched with any star, plug and play.
But his only reason is to follow Wang Yi.
…
At this time Brownie also came to the arena.
This is the first time all Kings players have gathered together to practice together in the new season.
All players take it very seriously.
Today is also a media open day.
Due to Wang Yi's return and the fact that the Big Four of the Lakers reunited for the first time, there were a lot of reporters here today, more than 70 of them.
At the beginning, the team's training was quite satisfactory.
Some practice shooting, some practice dribbling, some practice passing, and some practice physical fitness.
It’s the second half of training.
The three veterans, James, Paul and Anthony, were resting and chatting on the sidelines.
James' son Bronny came to Wang Yi.
"Can we have a duel?"
He said to Wang Yi politely.
"Of course, this is not a challenge, it is just a junior asking for advice from a senior."
Brownie is quite a tutor and is very polite to the players on the team.
Whether he is a main player or a substitute player.
Wang Yi smiled and turned to look at James.
James laughed twice: "Actually, he has wanted to practice with you for a long time, but he has never had the chance."
Wang Yi nodded: "That's fine."
The reporters on the sidelines heard that Wang Yi was going to challenge Brownie, and they all became excited.
I have been here for more than two hours, and all I have been watching is passing, dribbling and shooting, and there is no material at all.
Now someone has finally challenged me to a duel. Only when this report is published will there be traffic.
Guluan
All the cameras on the sidelines were focused on Wang Yi and Brownier.
Brownie is now 1.95 meters tall, which is slightly taller than Wang Yi by three centimeters.
Wang Yi smiled and said to Brownie: "You have to be mentally prepared, I will not let go."
Brownie nodded: "I also hope you will go all out. Let me see what my true strength can be."
The shooting coach on the sidelines threw a ball.
Wang Yi took the ball and threw it to Brownie.
Brownie began to dribble slowly.
His basic dribbling skills are pretty good.
After all, he plays point guard.
Wang Yi did not play with him like most seniors do to their juniors, but treated him as a real opponent to defend him.
Wang Yi's current defense is no joke.
The league's top defensive player.
Although he failed to win the best defensive player, he was selected to the best defensive team.
Brownie's talent is certainly very good compared to ordinary people.
But in the NBA, there is no so-called great talent.
It's just a middle-aged man's capital.
The first step of the breakthrough was not fast enough, and his physical fitness was not that explosive.
Although in the previous videos, you can often see him performing direct dunks, but that was only in high school leagues and college leagues.
Compared with real NBA players, his talent is really not enough.
So when he broke through, Wang Yi just moved sideways and stopped in front of him.
Brownie relied on his solid basics of dribbling, swaying from side to side, and then turned around, barely dragging it to the mid-range.
Then he turned his back, shook Wang Yi away, and planned to take action.
But when he turned his back, he couldn't keep up with his speed. As a result, Wang Yi seized the opportunity, jumped up, and slapped his ball out of the court.
Volleyball hat!
Brownie looked at the ball flying out of the field and quickly turned back to look at Wang Yi, slightly surprised.
Finally, he looked at James on the sidelines.
His subtext is: Is this Uncle Wang's defense?
In high school and college, he also met many players with strong defense. Some players' defense can be described as airtight, but Wang Yi's defense just now can be described as suffocating.
.
This kind of defense has a strong sense of oppression.
Not to mention anything else, as soon as he stood in front of you, you felt an extremely powerful aura enveloping you, and you felt as if you couldn't break through his defense no matter what.
He had only watched Wang Yi play before, but today he felt Wang Yi's defense firsthand for the first time. Only then did he realize how terrifying this defense was.
Next it was Wang Yi's turn to attack.
When Browne passed the ball to Wang Yi, Wang Yi started instantly.
Without any change of direction, relying solely on speed, he passed Brownie in one step.
After coming to the basket, he jumped up slightly and ended the attack with a simple dunk.
Brownie was stunned on the spot.
What the hell?
This first step of breakthrough is too fast.
He couldn't believe it, how could a human's breakthrough speed be so fast?
He turned to look at his father.
My father has always been a monster and a beast in people's eyes.
But now Wang Yi seems to be even more monster and beast than his father.
Next Brownie attacks again.
It is still impossible for him to break through Wang Yi's defense.
In the end, he had to take a step back, trying to dodge Wang Yi and take action.
His step back is the same type of double step back as Harden's.
Most people imitate walking.
But in his hands, he can quickly distance himself from the defender.
At this time, he was three meters away from Wang Yi.
I thought this shot was solid.
As a result, Wang Yi jumped up from three meters away and grabbed the ball with one hand in the air.
Chapter completed!
