Chapter 022
It is worth mentioning that this game and Yang Ming also appeared together with the Knicks just signed Ben Wallace, the Pistons’ champion in the next 04 years, and the basket defensive gate.
This is what he proposed.
He was very impressed with this big Ben, knowing that after the other party was previously lost, he was signed by the Celtics to play in the summer league.
Don Cheney listened to his advice and quickly offered a summer contract to bring him back to the team after giving up Big Ben after the Celtics’ last game.
After the game, Yang Ming was finally surrounded by many journalists.
Yes, he was envious of Iverson’s treatment at the beginning, but he didn’t expect that after this game was played, he also got it.
Countless microphones, like long guns and short cannons, all stretched out in front of Yang Ming.
“Yang, congratulations on getting 101 points today, oh my God, this is really crazy, it’s incredible!”
“Yang, do you feel about scoring more than 100 points in a single game? How many points do you think you’ll score in the NBA in the future? Is the level of this summer league too moisture? ”
“I heard that you haven’t signed with the team yet, after today, will you sign with the Knicks because of this?”
“Yang, do you roughly guess how big a contract you will get? What is your position in the future of the team? ”
A question smashed into Yang Ming, and if he didn’t answer or let go, the reporters asked crazy questions with a strong desire to explore.
Yang Ming did not play any big names, but talked to these people without the slightest impatience.
If you want to get a big contract, you have to build momentum, you have to let more people know about you.
And media people, these journalists, are the most advantageous tools.
He answered all questions very patiently and humbly, always with a faint smile on his face.
However, at the time of his interview, Falcao had another busy day.
Yang Ming’s more than 100 points in a single game today, even if it was only a low-level summer league game, also greatly shocked the management of the various teams residing in the Knicks’ hotels.
When everyone saw his data, they all gasped for air, and their eyes fell to the ground in shock.
Subsequently, everyone had a consensus that Yang Ming was a crazy and brutal rookie, adapting to the rhythm of the official NBA game, and there was no problem at all.
Such a player can be worth a bigger contract.
Look at this year’s top show Iverson, his performance is much inferior to Yang Ming, even if it is good enough.
So, does anyone think that Iverson can’t adapt to the NBA and will become a big parallel trader?
Which rookie has always played in the summer league, as terrifying as Yang Ming?
One by one, the team management went back and forth to Falcao’s temporary rented conference room in the hotel, and then a wave of people left in a tangled manner.
Falcao always insisted, five million a year, only one year.
This offer was originally a bit vain, but today, he was full of confidence, and Yang Ming’s performance in this game gave him a super reassuring pill.
You can’t take away our Mr. Percent without blood!
Isn’t Summer League an official competition? Who can be as awesome as Mr. Percent?
No five million a year, no talk!
Sign for one more year, and you don’t have to talk!
Seeing more and more teams contacting Falcao, the Knicks management led by Greenfield panicked even more, and their general manager even called team president Dave Chektz.
Comrade Checks was unsure and called the team owner James Dolan.
As soon as Dolan heard that there was such a rookie who dared to ask for such a high contract, he immediately asked his subordinates for a video of the game and went home to watch it confidently.
Early the next morning, Greenfield received a call from him.
“Agree with their offer!”
Isn’t it just five million dollars a year?
To him!
After Yang Ming scored 101 points in a single game, James Dolan, who watched the game, adhered to the character of being stupid and rich in money, waved his hand, and gave the team management an order that the former must be taken.
He seemed to see Jordan’s shadow in Yang Ming.
Five million a year is not expensive for a rookie with the potential to become Jordan.
You must know Jordan himself, but he just signed a super top salary of 30 million, what is five million?
“Take him, take him at all costs, he is our future Jordan!”
Dolan directly slapped the table, officially setting the tone for Yang Ming’s team contract negotiations smoothly!
With Doran’s clapping, Greenfield and others are much easier to handle, and even the contract period is no longer entangled in negotiation. After drawing up the final contract, they rushed to Falcao’s office to photograph the contract.
“Agreed, but we demanded, we must have a priority renewal period, priority matching rights, in the future, we do not agree, Yang cannot leave.”
“Liquidated damages of thirty million dollars!”
“OK! I’ll talk to my employer! Falcao said while secretly breathing a sigh of relief.
During the night, he discussed with Yang Ming for a while, and finally decided to sign with the Knicks.
Because except for the Knicks, no other team dares to take such a risk, with a five-million-dollar a year, signing a rookie who has not yet played a higher intensity game and proved himself.
All the more because, these team owners, few people have stupid and rich personalities.
Although the boss of Orlando Magic is stupid, he is stupid and miserly!
On the morning of the second day, witnessed by the lawyers of both sides, Yang Ming signed his name on Greenfield’s contract and officially became a member of the Knicks.
The contract term is one year, the annual salary is five million US dollars, before taxes!
After signing the contract, Yang Ming and the others all breathed a sigh of relief, and were just about to say a friendly farewell, but Greenfield suddenly put a bunch of keys on his desktop.
“What does that mean?”
Not only Yang Ming was stunned, but Falcao was also stunned.
Greenfield sat back in place and smiled brightly: “This is an apartment near the Madison Square Garden Arena, less than three hundred meters away, only two minutes walk!” ”
“We know you still have a single mom by your side, so we specially bought an apartment to rent to you for free!”
“This apartment is more than 1,200 feet (about 120 square meters) and worth about 600,000 US dollars.”
How near Madison Square Garden Arena?
Midtown Manhattan?
In order to increase Yang’s sense of belonging to the Knicks, Dolan actually put down such a large amount of blood?
Sure enough, it’s a lot of money!
Falcao was a little shocked, Rao is well-informed, and he was also shocked by the hand of the Knicks to treat Yang Ming, a rookie.
Instead, Yang Ming asked nonchalantly, “Is it just rent?” Didn’t you send me? ”
“Send?”
Greenfield smiled even more happily, he paused, calmed his mood, and said seriously: “If you can play in the new season and cash in on your talent, even if you only average 20+ points per game, when you renew your contract next year, it will be okay to send you away.” ”
“Team owner Dolan said that the better you perform, the bigger the house may be!”
(96 is indeed a good era, there are many opportunities to make a fortune, these I also plan to arrange, what Cisco, Yahoo, Penguin, Alima, Facebook, will not let go.) )
