NBA World Mall

Happiness came a little too suddenly, Li Tuanjie and Xia Fangfei were both happy...

"Don't need to go to Salt Lake City? Haha, I can stay in Texas!" Li Tuanjie was ecstatic. The Dallas Mavericks were Li Tuanjie's favorite team. Now that he finally got his wish and joined the Mavericks, he was naturally happy.

Last season, under the leadership of head coach Avery Johnson, the Mavericks played a very good regular season record, and finally reached the finals smoothly. Although they lost in the finals, last season the Mavericks Definitely one of the best teams in the league!

At first glance, it is not a good thing for a rookie to join a super team like the Mavericks. It is easy to bury his talent due to lack of playing time.

But Li Tuanjie has his own considerations. Joining the Mavericks is actually a good thing for Li Tuanjie, at least it is more beneficial to Li Tuanjie than joining the Rockets or Spurs.

The first is the problem of the Mavericks' lineup. The Mavericks' lineup in the past two seasons is definitely one of the best in the entire league. There are many stars in the team. Really can't find any decent players.

The two players currently serving as power forward substitutes for the Mavericks are Kevin Willis and Austin Croshere. These two players have played more than 20 minutes together, but the two The statistics add up to less than 6 points and 5 rebounds per game...

These two are Nowitzki's substitutes, and it's no wonder that Cuban had to recruit Li Tuanjie under his command...

No need to think about it, once Li Tuanjie joins the Mavericks, at least one of these two will be kicked out by the Mavericks, and then make room for Li Tuanjie!

In this way, if Li Tuanjie's performance can be better, it may not take long to become Nowitzki's chief substitute!

Becoming the chief substitute means that Li Tuanjie will have a stable playing time, which is extremely precious for any rookie player!

...

In addition to joining the Mavericks, Nowitzki will definitely get a stable playing time. Nowitzki, as the best shooting power forward in the league today, definitely has a lot to learn from Li Tuanjie. Under the influence of Wizki, there is a great possibility to improve his offensive awareness.

In the end, the Mavericks, as a powerhouse in the league, have received a high degree of attention. As long as Li Tuanjie's performance is reliable, the usual exposure is absolutely indispensable.

On the whole, the Dallas Mavericks are quite suitable for Li Tuan, and are very suitable for the starting stage of his NBA career!

...

After saying goodbye to Brand Davis, Li Tuanjie and Xia Fangfei happily returned to Dallas...

"I said you have been grinning all the way, can we drive well, it's scary!" Li Tuanjie said to Xia Fangfei who was driving in the co-pilot.

"You can't even laugh? Li Tuanjie, you've grown up, do you think you've become a big star? Are you going to abandon my mother?!" Xia Fangfei glanced at Li Tuanjie, her face full of displeasure.

"Um, pay attention to your wording, what is abandonment? You speak like I am Chen Shimei!"

"Hey, Li Tuanjie, you really can't be judged by appearances. Seeing that you are usually honest and honest, you are so good at sophistry. Believe it or not, I will throw you on the side of the road and let you go back by yourself..."

"Don't tell me, don't tell me, let's talk about it, we are such good brothers, how could I abandon you..."

"Oh, so you think of me as a brother!"

...

After the end of the draft at the end of June, three days later, Li Tuan received a notice from the Mavericks, inviting him to come to the team to sign a rookie contract on July 7!

It has to be said that the Mavericks really had high hopes for Li Tuanjie, and the signing of the contract did not take long!

Before signing the contract, there are still some procedures to go through, such as the physical test done by the team, such as the health test, etc. Li Tuanjie passed the test easily and did not waste too long!

The signing of the contract this time, because it is a standard rookie contract, does not require the presence of any agent or lawyer team.

Generally speaking, a popular rookie like Li Tuan must have found an agent before the draft. After all, the role of an agent for a player is not just as simple as signing a professional contract!

Especially before the draft, a qualified agent uses their excellent operational ability, that is, the ability to create momentum, and even has the opportunity to greatly improve the draft pick of rookies.

However, Li Tuanjie does not need others to create momentum for him, he can create momentum for himself, and his strength does not need to be mystified!

Originally, Xia Fangfei wanted to use her relationship to help Li Tuanjie set up a management team, but Li Tuanjie politely refused. He owed Xia Fangfei a lot, and he couldn't count on Xia Fangfei to help him with everything. ...

(Anti-splash: Don’t think that all players have agents, at least half of the rookies in the NBA don’t have agents)

The contract signed by Li Tuanjie and the Mavericks is a 3+1 contract. The first three years are a guaranteed contract, and the last year is a team option. The amount is 2.84 million.

Obviously, although Li Tuanjie's draft pick is not low, he is also a lottery pick, but the contract amount is completely incomparable with the No. 1 pick. His contract is less than half of Bargnani's...

Then there is the choice of jersey number. In the list of available numbers provided by Davis, Li Tuan took a look. Among them, No. 1 and No. 14 were his favorite numbers, but the number 1 was originally Mavericks guard Barger. That, that is, the bargaining chip for Sir Mavericks...

Because of the arrival of Li Tuanjie, Bagna had to pack up and leave, so the No. 1 jersey was naturally vacant!

After thinking about it, Li Tuan finally gave up on choosing the No. 1 jersey. Anyway, as soon as Bagna left, he took up his jersey number, which seemed a bit unkind.

In the end, Li Tuanjie's jersey number was determined to be No. 14. The main reason was that Li Tuanjie was selected with the 14th pick in the first round, and Nowitzki's number was 41...

...

The signing of this rookie contract, the Mavericks were very low-key, and did not hold a rookie meeting. Now that the Mavericks have just experienced a disastrous defeat in the finals and are at the cusp of the storm, it is really not high-profile.

After signing his name on the contract, Li Tuanjie breathed a sigh of relief, and his long-standing wish finally came true!

...

Successfully joined the NBA team, and he joined the Dallas Mavericks, which he was very fond of, and became teammates with the German anti-aircraft gun Dirk Nowitzki, which made Li Tuanjie feel as if he was living in a dream.

He firmly believes that with his own efforts and the support of the Wanjie Mall system, he will definitely be able to perform brilliantly on the Mavericks stage!

"NBA! I, Li Tuanjie, are here!"
