Wang Tiejun returned to the room with the contract in hand. He couldn't hide the excitement on his face, and he didn't even think of hiding it.
He was in a room with substitute small forward Richard Dumas. Seeing him like this, the latter couldn't help but ask: "Wang, did you pick up the money?"
"Richard, you are so smart!"
Lao Wang excitedly raised the contract in his hand and said: "I just got the contract, a formal guarantee contract."
"Congratulations. How big is it?"
Richard Dumas didn't have any surprises. With Wang Tiejun's performance tonight, it was a surprise not to get the contract, but he was curious about how big the contract was.
"The starting salary is more than one million, four years."
In excitement, Lao Wang said with a smile.
"..."
Dumas's mouth suddenly fell open.
He was the 19th pick in the second round of the Suns last year, but he only got a contract from the Suns this year, so this season is his rookie season. The contract is a basic salary of US$140,000, and it is only for one year.
I didn't expect that this Chinese who didn't even participate in the draft could get such a high contract. The envy, jealousy, and hatred in my heart filled me up instantly, and my eyes turned red.
Wang Tiejun sat on the bed and looked at the contract with a smile. He smiled happier than when he saw those female movie stars.
Including this month's salary, he now has 6,000 US dollars in his hand. He originally planned to save 10,000 US dollars and remit it back to his hometown. It originally took more than a month, but now it doesn't take that long.
Just now, Mr. Colangelo told him that players' salaries are paid every half month, and they can pay more than 110,000 US dollars each time. After half a month, he will have money.
"Richard..."
He was about to talk to Dumas about something, but found that the guy was already yawning non-stop, so he was too lazy to talk and turned on the system.
"Congratulations to the host, you have obtained an NBA fully guaranteed contract. The system has reissued the 150 points deducted from the last mission. Please check."
After browsing this new prompt, he became even happier.
Now he has 400 points in his hand, which can be redeemed for two quality training cards.
His birthday is June 1, 1973, and he is already nineteen and a half years old. This stage is the most critical period for improving certain physical qualities, and it is also the last period. After this store, the muscles and bones are completely fixed, and he wants to change again.
It's even more difficult.
Moreover, he has been delayed for almost two years, so he does not plan to do anything else now, but to improve his physical fitness first. This is the most basic and important thing.
"System, exchange me for two quality training cards."
"Redeemed."
"System, I want to improve my physical fitness now. Can you give me some advice?"
"In addition to strength, flexibility and coordination are currently the most important things to improve. After these two qualities are improved, the host's sensitivity can be increased and the speed can be improved in the next step. It is recommended that the host improves."
"Okay, then you can give me a training plan for these two qualities."
Soon, two plans appeared in front of him.
The first item, flexibility training, requires 100 hours of training and must be completed within two months. The training time should be maintained for at least one hour every day. After completing the training content, it can be upgraded to two levels.
The second item, coordination training, is the same as above.
"Three trainings require at least three hours of training time every day. Once you earn points, you can no longer engage in quality training."
He did some calculations, and with the team's training content, his physical fitness was already at full capacity. If he got more points in the near future, he would save them and exchange them for a skill synthesis card or the like to improve his strength.
…
"Everyone, let me tell you some good news..."
At breakfast the next day, Colangelo personally informed everyone on the team about Wang Tiejun's signing. Some were happy, while others were angry.
Oliver Miller was holding a coffee cup. When he heard the news, his hand shook, the coffee spilled, and his face became ugly.
"Are you crazy?"
Mark West's eyes were red, full of envy and jealousy.
He just signed a new two-year contract this year, worth one million dollars a year. This is the highest contract in his career, but this Chinese guy who he hates so much can actually sign a big contract of more than eight million dollars. Why?
?
"Old K, congratulations!"
Barkley was the happiest person and immediately sent congratulations.
He was very happy with Wang Tiejun's performance last night. Although he only scored two points, this data did not fully reflect Wang Tiejun's contribution in the low post.
"Old K, as long as you stand still under the basket, I will give you the ball." Then Kevin Johnson also sent congratulations.
Johnson's congratulations were Wang Tiejun's favorite, because when he was in the sports school, as long as he was under the basket, the ball had to be given to him first. If he couldn't hit it, he would pass it out.
The third person to send congratulations was Dan Mulley.
Dan Marley, nicknamed Thunder God, is the top 3D player in the contemporary era. He is also one of the current offensive trident of the Suns and one of the top ten superstars of the Suns in the future.
A star like him has a very strong desire to pursue a championship. Like Barkley and Johnson, they are very happy to see a stronger teammate at the fifth position.
The ones who really hate Pharaoh are the guys like Mark West who compete with him inside. Others either don't care, or like Barkley and others, they are happy to see stronger teammates appear at the fifth position.
After all, if they go further in the playoffs, they will receive more money, which is a real benefit.
As for whether Lao Wang is stronger, last night's game has proved this. Lao Wang's miserable statistics cannot cover up his contribution, and O'Neal's poor shooting percentage in the second half is the evidence.
In the morning, Wang Tiejun conducted two hours of flexibility and coordination training in the hotel gym.
The flexibility training made him suffer a lot. After the training, the ligaments and fascia all over his body seemed to be torn. He was so sore that it was difficult to walk.
At 12 noon, the Suns held a formal press conference to announce the signing to the media.
Although Wang Tiejun performed very well in the confrontation with O'Neal last night, and even dunked the Sharks, after all, the data was too poor, and he was Chinese, so this signing that can be compared to the top seven or even the top five picks in the first round is still
It was very difficult for the media present to accept it.
"Mr. Colangelo, are you sure this signing is prudent?" a New York Times reporter asked.
Colangelo smiled and said: "Do you think a big center who can allow No. 1 pick Shaquille O'Neal to escape confrontation is not worthy of this contract? Based on this ability, he is qualified to get this contract."
"This?" The reporter hesitated.
Colangelo added: "As far as I know, Bulls general manager Jerry Krause has rushed to Philadelphia, where he will wait for Wang and give him a million-dollar annual salary contract. Anyone who is interested,
You can go and interview him about his evaluation of Wang."
"oh?"
The reporters exclaimed.
Jerry Krause is no small figure. He single-handedly built the current Bulls. The Bulls have won two consecutive championships and are striving for three consecutive championships this season. Did he also fall in love with Wang Tiejun?
"Wang, do you think you are qualified to receive this contract worth more than eight million US dollars?" asked an Orlando reporter.
Wang Tiejun thought for a while and said: "I have just come into contact with the NBA and am unfamiliar with many things. More than eight million US dollars is an unimaginable figure for me. I would like to thank Mr. Colangelo for his trust in me.
Since he thinks I am worthy of this contract, I don’t dare to underestimate myself. I will try my best to meet his requirements for me and make this contract worthwhile.”
"Averaging two points per game, why do you have such confidence?" the reporter asked in a mocking tone.
Wang Tiejun's face turned cold and he said directly: "Just because I dunked on O'Neal, and because O'Neal is afraid of confrontation with me, is this enough?"
"you?"
The local reporter was so angry that he couldn't refute it, because in the second half, O'Neal was indeed avoiding confrontation. This is an indisputable fact.
"Wang, just now, the Magic announced that O'Neal was on the injured list and will be out for one game. What do you think is the reason?"
a Phoenix Sports reporter asked.
"A truce?"
Wang Tiejun laughed and then said: "I'm not surprised. If he fights me in every offensive and defensive round, I even think he will have to wait a few more games."
He was just bragging. If O'Neal really did that, it would only take two quarters, and he wouldn't be able to handle it himself, and his physical fitness would collapse first.
"oh!"
Lao Wang's arrogance immediately made the entire media gasp in shock.
"Wang, are you okay?" the reporter asked with a smile.
"Of course it's okay, I'm fine. I've been doing related beating training since I was a child. Over the past ten years, I've broken at least a hundred wooden stakes. That's how my resistance comes from." Wang Tiejun said with a smile.
"oh!"
The reporters present exclaimed again.
After the press conference, the Suns also set off for their third away game, Philadelphia.
