Speaking of which, Wang Tiejun is in a bit of a state of confusion now. When he was at Cangzhou Sports School, he was the team's leading scorer, often scoring 3040, but tonight he played for so long and only scored a pitiful 3 points.
His performance is too shameful to go back to sports school, can he still get a contract?
"Old K, you performed well tonight."
Head coach Paul Westphal caught up from behind and said to Wang Tiejun with a smile.
"Am I doing well?"
Lao Wang, who has not seen much, feels that his IQ has been humiliated. That pervert O'Neal scored in 2010. He is also a rookie. I am not bad at all?
"Old K, you did a good job."
At this time Colangelo also followed up and said to him with the same smile.
"Is it really good?"
He had great trust in Colangelo and began to believe him a little.
"Kevin, how am I doing?" He turned to Kevin Johnson and asked.
Kevin Johnson is not as knowledgeable as him. He is a superstar. Of course he can see his value in this game. He nodded and smiled: "Old K, you did a good job tonight."
"Hey, rookie, you played well tonight."
At this time, Buckley, who had just finished the on-site interview, caught up from behind and said to him with a smile on his face.
"Ha ha……"
The three of them became a tiger. Now he believed it. He suddenly became excited and said with a smile on his face: "Yes, I think so too."
Returning to the locker room, Wang Tiejun sat down and leaned directly on the closet. As soon as he relaxed, he felt very, very tired. His physical energy was consumed a lot. His whole body was sore and he didn't want to move a finger.
This is because O'Neal doesn't confront him later. If there is a full-court confrontation and he does it in every offensive and defensive round, his physical fitness will not be able to sustain that kind of intense thirty minutes, and two quarters will be enough.
I lifted up the jersey and looked at my chest. There were large bruises and a lot of red marks, and the same was true on my back.
The bruises were from the confrontation with O'Neal. Although he suffered a big loss from O'Neal, he also suffered a loss on the defensive end.
O'Neal's explosive power is very strong, and he can explode with greater power than him in the attack. If he hadn't used the iron mountain to rely on the attack, he would not have been able to stop him.
It's just that since he was a kid, he has been training with Tieshanxiu and medicated oil, so the injury is not as serious as O'Neal.
As for these red marks, they were elbowed by that guy O'Neal, and the fat guy made a lot of tricks.
He also learned to return a few elbows, but his elbowing skills were a bit lacking, and he was spotted by the referee. After receiving two fouls, he did not dare to elbow again, for fear of being fined, and he suffered a lot from O'Neal's hands.
of loss.
Before taking a shower, I conducted a post-match summary in the locker room.
Head coach Paul Westphal praised Wang Tiejun for his hard work in the game, which made Mark West a little dissatisfied.
But he came back today and only played 6 minutes. His statistics were almost zero, so he was not qualified to speak.
As for Oliver Miller, he was turned into a scum by O'Neal and had been beaten to the point of losing all his confidence.
When the two of them saw Lao Wang being praised by the head coach, their faces turned stinky.
After taking a shower, Barkley, Kevin Johnson, and Dan Marley, who scored 28 points tonight, went to the post-game press conference, and the remaining players also had post-game locker room interviews.
Comrade Lao Wang had a highlight moment in this game and was favored by media reporters. Several reporters squatted in front of him.
"Wang, tell me about the offense of dunking on O'Neal. How did you do it?" a reporter asked.
Wang Tiejun said with a smile: "That's very simple for me. Tonight, under O'Neal's perverted defense, I got close to the basket at least fifteen times, and he couldn't stop me."
"But you were turned into scum by him." The reporter said.
"But we won, which shows that he did not help his team, and it is useless no matter how good his data is." Wang Tiejun's retort made the reporter shut up.
"Rookie, that's called cutting in vain."
Danny Ainge on the opposite side smiled.
"Yes, cut it empty."
Lao Wang also said with a smile.
At almost twelve o'clock, the team returned to the hotel.
Colangelo called Wang Tiejun to his room, placed the prepared contract in front of him, and said with a smile: "Old K, take a look, if there is anything you are not satisfied with, we can talk again."
Then he explained more: "Don't worry, the player contract is in quadruplicate, one each for you, the team, the league, and the players union. It is supervised by the league and the union, and there will be no trap clauses or violations of the league."
The terms of the rules are otherwise invalid."
"Okay, sir."
Lao Wang happily started to read the contract, first looking at the contract amount.
He didn't tell anyone that the Bulls were looking for him. He had already decided that even if the Suns offered him a basic salary, he would stay with the Suns.
If nothing else, it is simply a gift of knowledge and opportunity.
In fact, he also feels that his current strength is far from enough, and he doesn't understand why the Bulls gave him such a high contract.
Anyway, a basic salary is enough for him to solve his family's financial problems. When his strength improves and he gets a second contract, he can ask for an equivalent contract based on his strength.
But when he turned to that item, he was shocked.
The contract period is 31 years, and the last year is a team option. He doesn't quite understand the meaning of this, but the amount behind it makes his jaw almost dislocated.
The starting salary in the first year was as high as 1.4 million US dollars, with an annual increase of 30%. In the next three years, it was 1.82 million, 2.363.06 million, and the total contract amount reached 8.64 million US dollars.
"This, this, so much money? Sir, didn't you say we would give you a basic salary?" He asked stammering, his eyes almost falling out.
"Who said a basic salary is required?" Colangelo said in surprise.
Wang Tiejun stammered: "Uh, sir, the Bulls only offered me 800,000 yuan, with a starting salary of 1.2 million yuan at most. How can you give me such a high salary?"
"What, the bull is looking for you?" Colangelo stood up in shock.
Lao Wang said awkwardly: "Well, during midfield, one of their scouts approached me and said that the Bulls' general manager was waiting for me in Philadelphia tomorrow."
Colangelo looked at Wang Tiejun blankly and asked after a long time: "Then why are you still willing to sign if you think I'm giving you a basic salary?"
Wang Tiejun chuckled and said: "Mr. Colangelo, it was you who took me out of Chinatown. You allowed me to have a formal job in the United States. I no longer have to be afraid of the police, and it also solved my financial problems. This is a great favor.
I couldn't leave the Suns for money."
Colangelo was stunned again, then laughed, patted Wang Tiejun on the shoulder, and sighed: "Old K, you play well in the Suns, I guarantee that the contract I will give you will not be bad, you will be in the Suns
The team will get the best training, this is your home team."
Subsequently, he took the initiative to change the team option for the final year to a player option, and then the two parties signed a contract.
This contract far exceeds Oliver Miller's contract, and coupled with Colangelo's statement, this also means that Wang Tiejun will be the Suns' first choice for the fifth position.
In other words, regardless of playing time, shots, ball rights, etc., they will be given priority.
Especially when the Suns have no one available at the center position, he has almost reserved the starting position at the center.
After sending Wang Tiejun away, Colangelo went to head coach Paul Westphal and discussed with him the issue of the team's main center.
He clearly stated that this position is that of Wang Tiejun, who has just signed a big contract, and it is not the future, but the present and the future.
Since Oliver Miller's performance was unsatisfactory and this season's main center Mark West was only a helpless choice, Paul Westphal and Colangelo reached an agreement.
