NBA: No. 1 Forward

Chapter 105: Nine Giants

The contract signing went well.

Basically, there is nothing to negotiate about the rookie contract. The main thing is where the rules and regulations of the league are, and it is not realistic to change them.

Moreover, the little senior sister nodded after reading it once, and Lian Dao signed directly.

The other Lian Dao is not particularly clear, the most clear thing is the amount of the rookie contract.

The contracts of NBA first-round picks are basically the same, 2+1+1 model.

The first two years are fully guaranteed contracts, and the third and four years are team options.

Lian Dao is the No. 1 pick, so his annual salary is also the highest among all rookies.

The four-year project of Lian Dao is 24.5 million US dollars, and the first year is 4.85 million US dollars before tax.

It looks like a lot, but in fact it only looks like 3 million US dollars after paying taxes.

But this is already very good. Many players at the end of the second round, after paying taxes, basically have the same salary as white-collar workers, and many of them can't reach the salary of white-collar workers.

Therefore, as the No. 1 pick, Lian Dao is actually pretty good.

Of course, these are small sums of money. After he really made a name for himself as a rookie, not only the salary will skyrocket, but the advertising endorsement alone will not be a small sum every year.

Especially the sneaker contract, that is the real big deal.

Downey originally wanted to advance some salary to Lian Dao in advance, but after knowing that Lian Dao lived in the upper east affluent area and bought a house, he didn't mention the advance salary.

"It seems that this kid is still a kid from a rich family!"

This is another impression of Downey on Lian Dao.

Downey didn't mention the salary advance, and Lian Dao didn't ask either. He's not short of money now, and the NBA playoff games he bought earlier also made Lian Dao a lot of money.

He also used the money through his own investment company to buy stocks in some technology and Internet companies in the United States.

With the development trend of the world in the next 10 years, if you can't make good use of it to make money, then you might as well find a piece of tofu and kill it.

Facebook; Twitter; Apple..., these companies have bought Lian Dao.

After signing the contract, Lian Dao also took pictures and shared them in their training camp "09 Superstars", which are all the players from their previous training camps.

Stephen Curry was also pulled into the group by Lian Dao at the United Center.

Sometimes they also chat in the group, bragging.

After Lian Dao posted the photo to the group, there was indeed a wave of "diving enthusiasts".

The bearded man who doesn't want to be the third brother (James Harden): Oh well, the number one pick really has a lot of money. Next time I go to New York, you have to invite me to a nightclub to have fun!

I'm not a primary school student (Stephen Curry): [Envy], [Envy] expression.

Timberwolves "coach" (DeMar DeRozan): Fight local tyrants and eat hot pot!

Washington State University's No. 1 Lover (Klay Thompson): College players can't afford to be injured [crying].

Through the training camp and daily chats, they also memorized some weird Chinese English words spoken by Lian Dao.

In particular, Lian Dao also taught Curry how to speak Chinese, but Curry's Chinese has a strong flavor of dazo.

And in the training camp before, they also fell in love with hot pot with Lian Dao.

Demar was the first person to experience the hot pot. This guy was stunned at first, but he felt very spicy after taking the first bite, so he poured half a bottle of ice water; once the hot pot has the first bite, there will be The second sip, the third sip, and then I couldn't help falling in love with it.

During the training camp, he also kept Amway to other players.

Then, they all fell in love with Shabu Shabu!

Although athletes should stay away from these high-fat foods, they do not eat them often, and these fats will not be stored in the body during high-intensity exercise.

At this moment, Downey also interrupted Lian Dao's rhythm of playing with his mobile phone, and asked Lian Dao if he had decided on the jersey number.

"Does anyone wear the number 1 jersey?"

Lian Dao also asked.

Lian Dao wore the No. 1 jersey when he was in college, and his No. 1 jersey in college also created the NCAA's No. 1 jersey sales in 2008-2009.

Even surpassed the jersey sales of some NBA superstars.

Moreover, he was also the No. 1 pick in the 2009 draft, which is also No. 1.

The most important thing is that the No. 1 jersey is called a cursed jersey by many fans. Lian Dao wants to make a name for the No. 1 jersey. When mentioning the No. 1 jersey in the future, the first thing that comes to mind is himself. This must be cool!

So he still wants to continue to wear the No. 1 jersey.

"I want to ask Chris for his opinion on this. He is wearing the No. 1 jersey now. He has no special requirements for the jersey number. He should agree."

When Downey said this, Lian Dao also remembered that Chris Duhon was wearing the No. 1 jersey.

It is not impossible to get the jersey number.

It mainly depends on the willingness of the players.

Downey is not asking Lian Dao to decide on the jersey number now, so we can look at Chris Duhon's wishes.

After signing the contract, the Knicks also posted pictures and text messages of Lian Dao's signing on their official website and social media for the first time.

In addition, there are wonderful pictures of Lian Dao in March Madness.

The brutal picture of violently dunking Thabito, the sharp contrast between Lian Dao who is hanging in the air by grabbing the basket and Thabito who is lying on the floor, shows Lian Dao's domineering and toughness!

This has also been praised by the majority of fans, and fans of the New York Knicks also keep leaving messages below.

"The tyrant comes, the strongest MOP!"

"The rib harvester, the strongest dunk, won the finals 3+1! He is the future of the Knicks!"

In these comments, there is even a die-hard Knicks fan Reid Klein, and Spike Lee also gave a thumbs up below.

"I wish the Knicks can rebuild their glory!"

It is not difficult to see their expectations for the future of the Knicks from the message!

Next, Lian Dao will set off to return home.

After the Chinese men's basketball team learned that Lian Dao had signed the contract, they contacted the Knicks' management, and the Knicks also agreed.

After all, how to say the Asian Championships is also an international event, whether it is the coach's tactical level or binding force, it is stronger than the summer league.

The purpose of the summer league is not to win. Its main function is to test newcomers. It doesn't make much sense for the first-round picks, but it is an opportunity for the second-round picks who are late and undrafted.

Therefore, the general head coach will not attend the summer league, and this kind of work is usually handed over to the assistant coach.

If you play well, you may get a non-guaranteed contract for the undrafted pick~www.readwn.com~ If you are lucky, you may get a one-year fully guaranteed contract.

For a first-round pick like Lian Dao, the summer league is indeed optional, and the Knicks will not have hard and fast rules on this.

Therefore, the Knicks management readily agreed.

The Knicks also attach great importance to Lian Dao's participation in the Asian Championships. After all, this is the core of the Knicks' team building, so they also want to take this opportunity to see Lian Dao's specific performance.

So the Knicks pulled out a temporary team and returned to China with Lian Dao.

It is said to be a temporary team, but in fact it still has everything, a team doctor, a nutritionist... and a head coach.

Unexpectedly, D'Antoni also came to China with Lian Dao.

Lian Dao was also a little surprised by this.

Before, during the trial training, Lian Dao gave him a big surprise, but the trial training is not a competition after all, he also wants to see his performance in the Lian Dao Asian Championships, which is also beneficial for Lian Dao in the new season. Make tactical arrangements.
