NBA Absolute Flood Control Dam

Chapter 13: Basic salary one + one

   "Editor-in-chief, can I be on the page?"

   In a cheap hotel in New York, Hongzheng Chen reports to the editor-in-chief of the Sports Weekly. He has just sent an article about Li Ba back to the headquarters.

   "The Dayao bus has returned to China, and there is no news on the NBA side. You can post this article. In addition, you don't have to go back to China during this period. Follow him and I will approve the cost." The editor-in-chief said.

   "Really, that's great!" Chen Hong was very excited.

   "Hey, Hammer, you are famous!"

   Someone passed by the No. 36 chair and shouted at Li Ba.

   "Go away, don't disturb me thinking about life."

   He knew, someone had told him, but unless a team came to him, it was useless.

   He plans to buy a tent tomorrow. He has no plans to rent a house. He still does not have a stable income. This is New York, and the rent is quite expensive. He also didn't want to go to cheap and corrupt areas, where it was not safe, there were robberies and murders every day, and poisonous rice and the American police were too dangerous.

  Don't look at him being fierce here. That's because it is one of the black cultural centers in the United States. There are rules. Fighting is no problem. Generally, no one shoots a gun here.

   At this time, Frank and D'Antoni just got off the plane and flew non-stop from New York to Phoenix, more than 3,000 kilometers, and it took five hours.

   Early the next morning, Frank came to the team and found General Manager Jerry Colangelo.

   This is the founder of the Suns and a legend in American sports. He is very influential. He has been with the Suns for more than 30 years.

   Not only that, but he also introduced Major League Baseball to Phoenix. He is a very bold and visionary professional manager.

   "Oh, I watched a few reports about the undrafted pick last night, and I also watched the online video, I know you are there too. The cover is really beautiful, do you like him?"

   After motioning for his assistant to pour a cup of coffee for Frank, Colangelo said.

"Jerry, we were just defeated by the Spurs, because of lack of defense, I think he can have some role, he has some defensive talent. The Raptors can sign Bosh with the fourth pick in the first round, why can't we use one? What about the cheapest contract to sign a guy who can block Bosh out of the box?" Frank said.

"Haha, okay, your words touched me, the logic is correct, haha!" Colangelo laughed, and said again: "Then what are your specific plans for him? We have enough young people, Do you want to cultivate him and look forward to his defensive talent?"

"Jerry, Mike said that Hammer’s body is shaped, but I don’t look at it that way. He is only twenty years old, and certain muscle qualities can be changed through strength training. Who doesn’t know? Mike is just not interested in defensive players. , Isn’t it? Of course I’m not saying that he must be trained, but his current defensive strength, we can use it. If the team does not want to cultivate, a cheap contract is not a loss.” Frank said.

   After thinking for a while, he went on to say: "This year we may have a hard time facing the Lakers. Is there any news now?"

   Speaking of the Lakers, Colangelo's expression became serious, and he nodded helplessly: "Kupchak is working, and the players are also interesting. It's a perfect match."

   "If they really get Karl Malone, our inside line will be very difficult. Jerry, can we really not get Malone?" Frank said.

   "Malone is a free agent, but he wants to go to the Lakers, where there are O'Neal and Kobe. We are not competing for the championship, and there is no attraction to him."

   shook his head, Colangelo said.

   "So, we have to strengthen the defensive energy of the inside. I think the power of the hammer can be used." Frank said.

   Nodded nonchalantly, Colangelo thought for a moment and said, "Is there any team contacting him now?"

"We will know soon in the next few days. But, sir, it may be too late. After all, signing him does not need to pay much. There will be teams willing to sign him. And we still lack a few. Player, he has to sign other players if he doesn't sign." Frank said.

   Nodded again, Colangelo also thinks so. Maybe an unsecured contract can sign the draft pick called the Hammer, and it is possible that a team is willing to provide such a contract.

"So..." He knocked on the table, thinking about it: "Although we still have room now, he is just a young man without any professional qualifications. He has never proved himself, and he can't tell all of them in one shot. Question, the basic salary is 1+1."

   "Okay, I will tell him to come over." Frank laughed.

   A certain stadium in the park, Li Ba is training for a layup. In addition to defending, he is now focusing on strengthening the second offensive ability of the inside. At this time, the sound of the phone rang from the backpack under the basket.

   "Frank?"

   Seeing the electric display, Li Ba's eyes widened in an instant, and his heart beat faster.

   "Hey, Hammer, go find an agent, temporary, and then come to Phoenix, or you can find it here."

   After the call was connected, Frank's voice rang.

   "Really?" Li Ba couldn't believe it.

   Only one day after losing the election, will he be able to sign the contract? I heard that at this time, most of the second round shows have not signed a contract yet.

   Just about to put down the phone, another call came.

   "Hey, are you called Hammer?" an old man's voice.

   "It's me, you are?" he said.

   "I'm Dawson, general manager of the Mosaic team. Little guy, our team needs to pick a defensive player to be Yao's shield. Come here."

  "..."

   Li Ba's mouth opened up suddenly, making a meat shield for Dayao? Had to say: "Sorry sir, I have received a contract."

   "Who?" Dawson said.

   "The Suns." Li Ba said.

   "What contract?" Dawson asked.

   "Guaranteed, a 1+1 contract." Li Ba smiled.

"Oh, so do we. In this way, you think about it. With Yao's side, your development will be better and your economic interests will be better, because he has countless sponsors." After that, Dawson said Up.

   Li Ba began to call Wilde and asked him to go to the team to prepare for the signing. He didn't think about it, he didn't need to think about it. Frank was a nice guy and was willing to give him a chance. He would definitely go there.

   If you follow Dayao, you will definitely make a lot of money, but now he has a choice, he really doesn't want to go.

  The reason is very simple. He has a different personality from Yao. It is difficult to avoid Yao's restriction when he goes there. It is better to be in the Suns.

   He thought about it again, and first called Chen Hong, because Chen Hong called in the morning and said that there would be continuous reports with him during this time.

   "Really? Congratulations!" Chen Hong looked very happy when he knew it, and said, "In this way, I will go with you. You have booked your ticket and let me know."

   "Wald, where are you now?" Li Ba asked after making the call.

   "Hammer, I'm in Phoenix, just got off the plane." Wilde said.

   Li Ba said the news, Wilde said happily: "Great, I am waiting for you in Phoenix."
