Chapter 704 LeBron looks like a philosopher
Wang Fei said while observing the expression on Howard's face.

He wanted to see Howard's reaction.

After hearing Wang Fei's words, Howard's originally tense expression relaxed a lot.

This shows that he doesn't think Wang Fei's words are humiliating him now.

"Thank you, Wang! Well, let's get on with it," Howard said.

He was talking, took the ball from Wang Fei, and passed the ball back to Wang Fei's hands. Then, Howard quickly backed up to the basket.

Howard put on a posture to protect the basket.

Wang Fei dribbles forward.

He thought to himself, it is still necessary to save a little face for Howard, and it is not appropriate for him to be too embarrassing.

Wang Fei thought so, he took the ball and accelerated, and rushed straight to the basket.

Howard raised his arms high and swayed his body, ready to move his body at any time to block Wang Fei's breakthrough route.

Wang Fei rushed one step away from Howard, he suddenly changed direction to the right, and Howard hurriedly moved to the left.

But Wang Fei's move was a fake. Wang Fei turned around with the ball, and his body reached the basket.

Howard quickly turned around and returned to defense.

When Wang Fei jumped up, it was a one-handed split button.

Howard stretched out a giant spirit palm, and gave Wang Fei a big hat that covered the sky and the sun.

Wang Fei's ball was knocked down.

Howard is a solid defender.

He has won the DPOY title three times, which is the league's best defensive player.

He also won the title of block leader twice in the season and won the rebound leader 5 times. Defense is Howard's forte.

This cap can be said to cover cleanly.

Vogel, who was standing on the sidelines, raised his eyebrows when he saw this scene.

Vogel was moved by Howard's block.

Although Wang Fei is short, he has never been blocked like this before!
Because, when Wang Fei encounters a block, he will dodge in the air and end the game with another offensive method.

Howard's big hat was beautifully covered, but no one applauded Howard.

Yes, no one applauded.

No one made a fuss about it.

Because these people on the sidelines were afraid of causing Wang Fei's dissatisfaction.

Wang Fei's ball was knocked down, and he bent down to pick it up immediately, then dribbled the ball, and quickly circled to the other side of the basket. Wang Fei didn't look back, and he jumped up and made a backhand shot with a hook.

Wang Fei's reaction to the ball was fast enough, and his detour speed was also at its peak.

Therefore, Howard failed to turn around and defend in time.

Hook shot hit!

"it is good!"

"Excellent!"

"Really a very wonderful goal!"

"Wang, you are really amazing!"

Immediately there was a burst of warm cheers around the stadium.

Wang Fei shrugged, smiled and said to Howard: "You are very threatening around the basket! You move very fast! I think you are still very strong, and you have excellent defense."

"Thank you! Wang, I'm sorry for the block just now." Howard said.

"Haha! Why are you sorry for that block? It was a very good block, clean and neat. I think that block was very good." Wang Fei said.

Trials are over.

Howard followed Pelinka back to his office.

Pelinka smiled, poured Howard a glass of water, and said, "Mr. Howard, I'm really sorry."

Howard's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"Mr. Pelinka, I don't understand, what do you mean?"

Howard's face was already a little pale.

He said in his heart, it shouldn't be!

I think my trial performance is not bad, right?Moreover, Wang and LeBron also supported me, and the conversation with other key players of the Lakers can be regarded as harmonious.

Why did he say sorry?

Could it be that they still don't want me?
"You are still very good, but after we discussed it seriously, everyone thinks that you are a ticking time bomb in the locker room, and you may become an unstable factor anytime and anywhere, so we cannot sign you! ’” Pelinka said.

As Pelinka spoke, he watched the look on Howard's face.

Howard was disappointed.

No, he was a little desperate!
Originally!He is full of hope, and he feels that he is also very hopeful to be accepted by the Lakers!
But why did they still refuse in the end?

Could it be that they labeled me a restless person just because of the past?

They'd rather not have me than future locker room chaos?

Correct!
They are not at ease.

They were worried that if they signed me, I would be a problem.

How to do?
Do you want to fight again?

Howard was confused.

However, he finally decided to give it another go.

"Mr. Pelinka, please think about it again. Please, I really want to return to the Lakers to redeem the mistakes I made when I was young." Howard said, his eye circles a little red.

Pelinka smiled smugly.

He knew that Howard would plead again.

Pelinka sighed.

He shook his head and said, "You know, the Lakers can't have any more chaos. We have to ensure the harmony in the locker room! And, to be honest, we are not too short at the center position."

What Pelinka means is that we can sign a new center or not.

We don't really need a center like you so badly.

Howard hugged his head all of a sudden, he is really desperate now.

If it was him a year ago, he might have turned around and walked away.

But now, he no longer has the ability to be arrogant.

He thought about it for a while and finally decided to struggle again.

"Mr. Pelinka, if you are worried that I will disturb the order of the locker room, then we may sign an agreement to avoid the loss of the Lakers. For example, once I really become a cancer in the locker room again, you can let me go immediately, Don't have to pay me anymore. Is that okay?" Howard said.

Pelinka felt ecstasy in his heart.

He just wants to achieve such a goal!
That's right!He wants to sign an agreement with Howard that is not guaranteed!Once it is found that the Lakers no longer need Howard, then Howard has to leave unconditionally.

This can maximize the interests of the Lakers.

Howard was a super giant in the past!

Now, he was actually forced to sign an agreement with no guarantees.

This is really a very sad thing.

Pelinka shook his head and said, "Mr. Howard, why are you doing this? You still have considerable strength. Perhaps, you should go to another team and try again."

Howard said in his heart, if I had other better choices, why should I come here and be humiliated by you?
"No, I like the Lakers, I love the Lakers, I have identified the Lakers, I just want the Lakers to redeem the wrong things I have done! You give me a chance, sir." Howard said.

Pelinka sighed again and said: "Mr. Howard, you said this yourself, I didn't force you, so if you really want to join the Lakers, we can only sign a non-guaranteed agreement with you, and , the salary will be very low.”

"How low?" Howard's eyes were a little red.

"I can only give you the same price as Cousins, $350 million, and there is no guarantee. If you play a game with the Lakers, you will have money for a game. If we find out, you will become a problem. , you are leaving, and after you leave, of course there will be no salary," Pelinka said.

Howard nodded.

He said with a serious face: "I do!"

If it weren't for the depreciation of inside players nowadays, a super inside like Howard, even if he is 34 years old, shouldn't sign such a small amount of money!
You know, in the current NBA, billion-dollar contracts are flying all over the sky, and many young players, who have just averaged more than 2000 per game, want to ask for an annual salary of [-] million!

However, these poor traditional inside players can only accept small contracts like leftovers.

Facing this dilemma, it is not only Howard, but almost all traditional insiders of big men are suffering from terrible devaluation.

If the current center can't shoot three-pointers, he will definitely not get a contract with an annual salary of more than [-] million.

Wang Fei has also been waiting for news on whether Howard can stay with the Lakers.

Fortunately, he didn't wait too long.

When the news that Howard had decided to sign with the Lakers reached Wang Fei's ears, he was shocked.

"My God! Howard's condition is still quite good. He actually signed a basic salary, and it's not a guaranteed basic salary? This is terrible." Wang Fei shook his head and said.

"This is normal, and Howard has no other better choice. He can only sign such a contract." LeBron said.

"Could it be that no other team will sign him again?" Wang Fei asked.

"It's hard! He has already gone to every team he can go to. He is not young anymore, I think, he is not willing to waste time on a team that has no ability to win the championship. He signed with the Lakers , and still have a chance to win a championship!" LeBron said.

"You mean, he's here for the championship?" Wang Fei asked.

"Not all, he is also for life. He is 34 years old and has reached the end of his career, just like me. Sometimes, the pressure of life is unimaginable." LeBron said.

Wang Fei smiled and said, "LeBron, you really look like a philosopher now."

"Haha! Sometimes, when people get older, they will think about things more clearly. Wang, you are still young. When you reach a certain age, you will understand. We must cherish everything at hand!" LeBron Said.

By signing Howard, the Lakers' lineup is basically stable.

For the next two days, Wang Fei has been training with the team.

There is no way, there are a lot of newcomers, and Wang Fei even came to a new team, everyone needs a little time to get used to it.

But that night, Wang Fei received a call from Jay Chou.

Jay Chou invited him to come out and sit together on the phone.
