Chapter 22 Will you become a millionaire? Old Nelson’s advice!

"Su Bai, do you want to send a text message to congratulate Sun Yue?"

Su Bai lowered his head to read the text message, then turned to Yi Jianlian and shook his head slightly.

Just now, NBA Vice President Mark Tatum announced that Sun Yue was selected by the Lakers with the 10th pick in the second round and the 40th pick overall.

The Los Angeles Lakers are a good city and team, but with this result, Su Bai felt that Sun Yue, who had a high self-esteem, was not satisfied, so when he sent text messages to congratulate others, he thought you were mocking him.

You are noble, you lotto picks, congratulate me for falling into the second round, right?

But, it doesn't matter if I don't congratulate you.

You noble people, you lottery picks, look down on me, a second-round pick, right?

So, Su Bai sent a text message in reply,

"I'll call him later. It will appear more sincere and less likely to cause misunderstanding."

After reading the text message, Yi Jianlian nodded to Su Bai.

Also, you can talk directly about anything you want on the phone, and there won't be too much room for bad imagination.

As the draft ended, all the lottery picks took a photo together.

Su Bai obviously felt that the black brothers who had shown hostility to him just now looked at him with more jealousy and hatred.

But those people couldn't help it, because it was the league that arranged for him to stand in the C position with the Arab League.

"Su, Warriors general manager Chris Mullin just called me. I hope you can go to San Francisco as soon as possible. He wants to have a good chat with you."

After finishing taking pictures, on the way back to the hotel, Ryan Flynn said to Su Bai.

"Okay, I'll go to San Francisco tomorrow."

Su Bai immediately said, "By the way, is there any news from the country?"

Ryan Flynn understood instantly, "Unfortunately, no.

The news I received is that your men’s basketball roster has been determined for a long time, and there are no rumors about recruiting you yet.”

Su Bai nodded and said nothing more, but checked the text messages.

Many people congratulated him on being selected, including his parents and relatives, men's basketball big shots such as Yao Ming and Zhu Fangyu, as well as his former youth team teammates and some friends.

Su Bai replied to every one of them.

As for the Warriors, only head coach Don Nelson sent a text message to Su Bai.

"Su, welcome to the warrior nation."

Su Bai couldn't help but frown.

Generally, when a rookie is selected, the team boss and teammates, even if they don't post a welcome update on social media, at least make a phone call and send a text message or something, right?

With the current situation, it seems that my journey to the NBA will not be too smooth.

…

"Su, take a look at these?"

Early the next morning, in the car heading to the airport, Ryan Flynn handed Su Bai some newspapers with a wry smile.

"Warriors No. 9 pick Su Bai: Don't your teammates welcome you? It's okay, I can make a name for myself!"

"China World Youth Championship genius Su Bai: The Warriors chose me to be their leader!"

"The most arrogant rookie? Chinese rookie Su Bai said that the best rookie is already in the bag!"

"oh!"

After reading it, Su Bai responded expressionlessly, but he was already scolding in his heart.

CNM!

Although he knows that the American media likes to stir up trouble, why the hell do you just take it out of context? Are the following news just fabricated out of thin air?

Now it's good. He probably offended the entire Warriors team, even the rookies in the same year...

Originally, when Su Bai was selected by the Warriors, he was lucky that he was the one with the smoothest start among the Chinese trio. Now it seems that the difficulty is even worse than the other two!

LeBron, Du Xiaoshuai, I am taking the most difficult road for you in advance.

But soon, Su Bai forgot everything.

Damn, I have a system anyway. Is it possible that I can’t deal with these noobs?

…

"Su, welcome!"

The next afternoon, Su Bai met with Warriors general manager Mullin in the Golden State Warriors general manager's office.

Before coming, Ryan Flynn showed Su Bai Mullin's information.

To be honest, after reading the experience of this man nicknamed "God's Left Hand", Su Bai's first reaction was...

Coach, I want to play basketball!

"The young man became famous and fell into a desperate situation; God's left hand rose up again from the darkness of alcohol addiction and became the recognized 'successor of Bird' at that time.

Intelligent, passionate like a phoenix, and an incredible marksman."

There is also the long hair before quitting alcohol and the flat hair after quitting alcohol. It is really hard not to think of Hisashi Mitsui!

Back to the subject, Mitsui...oh, no, Mullin was still very enthusiastic about Su Bai. After encouraging Su Bai a lot, he quickly helped Su Bai get the contract.

Well, in Mullin's opinion, putting aside everything else, with Su Bai's handsome appearance, he shouldn't have to worry about selling the season tickets and peripherals for next season.

As for strength?

That's what Old Nelson should worry about. After all, he was the one who asked for Su Bai to be chosen.

Su Bai's rookie contract is the league's standard 3+1 four-year contract, with the first three years fully guaranteed and the fourth year a team option.

A total of 10.03 million US dollars in 4 years.

It rose from US$2.14 million in the first year to US$3.13 million in the last year.

"Mr. Mullin, can I advance half a year's salary?"

Su Bai asked Mullin.

Ryan Flynn took the initiative to advance the money for trial training and other things, and Su Bai did not stop him.

It's just that Su Bai also observed that his agent, who was not rich, paid by credit card. He didn't want his agent to be unable to pay back the credit card.

If word spreads, it will be his people who will be lost!

By the way, Su Bai still has to pay Bill Duffy's service fee, and he will also spend money on training and other things. Su Bai really needs money at this time.

"no problem."

Mullin had seen this situation too much and directly signed a check for US$1.07 million to Su Bai.

Su Bai couldn't help but feel a little excited when he took the check.

Does this make you a millionaire?

What about US dollars?

After settling the contract, Su Bai met head coach Don Nelson in the training hall downstairs.

Like Mullin, coach Don Nelson is also very enthusiastic about Su Bai. Of course, this enthusiasm is based on Su Bai's strength and potential.

Compared with the opinions of so-called "experts", Nelson still prefers to believe his own feelings.

At least, Old Nelson really felt that Su Bai had a good chance of winning.

"Mr. Nelson, what abilities do you think I can improve next that will be more helpful to the team?"

Before leaving, Su Bai asked old Nelson, who was chatting happily with him.

Unlike some coaches who need to look at the players' faces, coaches like Nelson, a top coach in history, have a lot of authority, so Su Bai feels that improving his favorability will definitely be helpful for him in the future.

As expected, Old Nelson showed a satisfied look, and then pointed without thinking,

"Your body has been trained well, but you are still far from being able to compete at the NBA level, so I suggest you practice more.

Other than that, let’s practice more defense first.”

"good."

Seeing that Su Bai agreed so simply, Nelson explained in a good mood, "Both Baron Davis and Stephen Jackson can attack with the ball on the offensive end next season, so you will play more without the ball in the beginning."

.

As for defense, you should practice single defense first, and then practice assist defense if you have the energy.

Well, our defense has never been damn good.

But if you want to go far in the playoffs, you need this damn thing."

Su Bai nodded.

This "mad scientist" really likes to spit out fragrance just like Ryan Flynn's profile says.

Then, practice physical and defense first?

Do you want him to be a defensive leader first?!

Su Bai thought about it and thought that his current ball-handling offense was probably not very efficient in the NBA. At least it would be difficult to surpass Baron Davis and Stephen Jackson in a short period of time.

So, just practice as Old Nelson said!
