Chapter 103 All Stress Is Motivation (Subscribe)
This is the first time Juwan chatted with Auerbach.

The old man is much more talkative than expected.

Tell a lot about the story behind this draft conference.Including using LeBron James as a cover at the beginning, being reversed by the Nuggets, and some thoughts on choosing Wade afterwards.

After listening, Zhu Wan couldn't help but whispered in his heart: so many things happened!
How else can we say that the draft conference is a war with no smoke in sight!

Being in it, Zhu Wan really felt it.

But knowing the whole process of the matter, even Zhu Wan couldn't help sighing secretly that Auerbach deserves to be Auerbach, and his judgment in the face of an emergency is really decisive!
If Zhu Wan were in the same situation, without opening his eyes, it would be absolutely impossible for him to have such courage...

Of course, it was precisely because Zhu Wan opened his eyes that he admired Auerbach even more.

This old man not only dared to gamble, but could win the bet...

Not to mention Zhu Wan himself, but the decision to trade Walker with the ninth overall pick in the first round to select Wade will definitely be passed down as a classic in the future.

What a bargain!

"I trust my intuition, no matter what chip I can afford, I will exchange it for you, man, as you said, I believe you can restore the glory of the Celtics giants!"

Uh, has this word reached the old man's ears?
Juwan almost choked on Auerbach's words.

But, yes, this sentence really boosted morale, and it was normal for the Boston reporter to tell the old man excitedly after hearing it.

Aren't they guys looking forward to this?
"Of course, man, if you don't have the money to repair the driveway, remember to call me and I can pay for it for you!"

Before finally hanging up, Auerbach joked with Juwan.

Zhu Wan couldn't laugh or cry when he heard that.

Of course he knew who Auerbach was complaining about.

This can be regarded as one of the most nonsense things in the league. In order to repair the driveway for his mother, Larry Bird, the "big filial son", was unwilling to pay others to do it, so he chose to do it himself, and ended up directly cutting his spine Misplaced!

Who would have thought that the back injury of the "bad" Larry Bird in the last seven years of his career was not caused by the court, but by himself to save money...

It can only be said that stingy things really affect IQ.

After that, Zhu Wan did not forget the interview with Yang Yi that he had agreed upon at the beginning, and chatted for about 40 minutes.

Because it was an exclusive interview, Yang Yi asked more detailed questions, including being traded to the Celtics this time: "The Green Army took out Paul Pierce as a bargaining chip in the deal, which will inevitably make you and the All-Star start in the American media." Do you think that would be stressful in comparison?"

"All the pressure is motivation. Compared with the [-] million yuan contract with Adidas and the title of Big Bird II, in fact, compared with Paul Pierce, it is not a big pressure for me!"

Zhu Wan's words were not just for drinking.

But his truth.

Don't look at the American media and fans who are touting him like this. Once he enters the league and fails to perform like Larry Bird's rookie season, I'm afraid he will be questioned immediately.

In his rookie season, he had to play 21 plus 10 plus 4.5. Isn't this pressure greater than being with Paul Pierce?

Not to mention the 1 million yuan contract from Adidas, which made Zhuwan the "No. [-] in history". How much pressure LeBron James has, he will only be greater than LeBron James!
So just now the "cardinal" told Zhu Wan the ins and outs of the draft, and wanted Zhu Wan to know how much they valued him, and what kind of energy and price it took to get him here. , apart from so many accidents that happened to him, he really didn't feel any more pressure.

He is under a lot of pressure now!
It's so big that the Celtics use Paul Pierce plus the sixth overall pick in the first round to select him, this kind of thing is not a big deal at all!
At the end of the interview, Zhu Wan's attitude made Yang Yi sigh again: "I think Zhu Wan has the appearance of a superstar!"

At the end of the interview, Juwan finally had time to turn on his own phone.

There were seven or eight missed calls, and dozens of congratulatory text messages.

Okafor and others sent him text messages.

To Zhu Wan's surprise, Yao Ming got his cell phone number from somewhere and sent him a congratulatory text message.

Zhu Wan went back one by one.

After seeing the congratulatory message Sona sent him, he thought about it and asked the latter for his bank card number.

Then I glanced at the missed calls again. Most of them were from those who sent text messages, so I didn't call back.

When Zhu Wan returned to the hotel, it was around 1 o'clock in the middle of the night, and it was already late at night, so he didn't bother the elders, and didn't intend to make mistakes in Huatian. Instead, he washed up hastily and went to bed.

He was very tired today, but he didn't fall asleep immediately when he went to bed. Instead, he thought about the hard work he had made over the years, and thought about how he had just become the second pick in the first round in 03.

Immediately, it felt a little more like a dream.

I don't know what to do in the NBA...

Talking in his mouth, Zhu Wan fell asleep in a daze, and he didn't know if he thought too much about things after entering the NBA before going to bed. That night, Zhu Wan had a dream. In the dream, he was on Kobe's head. He scored 60 points and completed a "big windmill" dunk in front of Tim Duncan... When he was about to wake up from the dream, that scene was particularly profound. His ten fingers were covered with rings, and he still held one in his hand. He couldn't wear it anymore, so he turned and threw it to the greedy Barkley.

Otherwise, there is everything in the dream!

Standing on the Hall of Fame stage to give his speech, recalling how he made LeBron James cry, a knock on the door woke him up.

Zhu Wan was suddenly enveloped by a sense of emptiness... After this dream, he felt that the NBA was meaningless.

Why don't you go to kill the dragon... The title is "I think the NBA is boring, so I have to go to kill the dragon"!
This name is very interesting when you hear it!

"Is there something wrong with you running here so early?"

The dream was disturbed, and Zhu Wan vented his anger on Hapi who knocked on the door.

But at this moment, Happy looked excited: "Zhu Wan, you're here to endorse, you're here to speak, look, these are all!"

It was only then that Zhu Wan discovered that Happy was holding a bunch of contracts, all of which were proposed contracts for commercial endorsement.

Although Zhu Wan has not yet played an NBA game, his popularity has long made many companies wait and see. Now he is officially selected by the NBA team with the second overall pick in the first round, and then by the Celtics. Paul Pierce traded with the sixth pick in the first round, and the commercial value and enthusiasm have long been full.

These companies couldn't take it anymore.

Although the single amount of these contracts is not very large.But adding up, there is still a 2000 million. In 03, this was already a great commercial value.

Not to mention that Zhu Wan has not played a game in the NBA so far, and when he performs well in the NBA, these commercial contracts will only get bigger and bigger!
However, although there are many contracts, Zhu Wan has already signed a 1100 million yuan contract with Adidas, and the first year’s 5 million yuan has already been obtained. Leaving aside taxes and a 7% share for Happy, he still has about [-] million left. .

Next, he will go to Boston to sign a four-year rookie contract with a total value of around 2 million.

Therefore, the current Zhu Wan doesn't talk about being rich and powerful, but it is absolutely no problem to have no worries about food and clothing.

This made him a little more cautious when facing the endorsement contracts of these companies. He didn't want to consume his image too much.

Happy also believes that this is the long-term solution.

The two hit it off immediately, and after picking and choosing, they left about eight or nine endorsement contracts, with a total value of 700 million.

It is also a lot of income!
It took about three or four days to finalize these endorsement contracts.

During this period of time, Zhu Wan took the two elders to play in New York again, and then asked his uncle to bring 100 million, which is about 8 million RMB, to go back to start a business. ——Zhu Jianmin has not been idle at home during this period of time. He is looking around and planning to start a chain supermarket. It just so happens that he has worked as a bad guy for a few years, and he has developed his vision.

The conversation is divided into two parts, Zhu Jianmin is ambitious, so I will not express it here.

Accompanied by Happy, Zhu Wan went to Boston...

In the past few days, the final results of the 03 draft have also spread through various channels.

Domestic news about Juwan being selected with the second pick in the first round, and then being traded to Boston by the Celtics with Paul Pierce and the sixth pick in the first round is also overwhelming.

Domestic fans were surprised to see these news.

Although they were no strangers to the name Zhu Wan because of previous reports, they couldn't figure out why some team would use an All-Star starter to trade a guy who only performed well in the college league.

How to put it, in the eyes of domestic fans, this is equivalent to using Guo Ailun to trade Lai Yiye, they really don't like Sister Li!

But there are definitely expectations.

After all, this is another Chinese who stands on the big stage of the NBA!

It is worth mentioning that the NCAA documentary about Zhu Wan was broadcast in time on Central 5.

It's not clear whether this film has an incentive effect, but it does make domestic fans feel the popularity of Zhu Wan in the United States!

In addition, the introduction of the NCAA in the documentary also made them understand that it seems that the American college student league is very different from the domestic CUBA college student league...

Also after this documentary, they probably know why the Celtics exchanged Paul Pierce and the sixth pick in the first round for Juwan.

To describe it in one sentence: This guy has a bright future!

This also made them look forward to Zhu Wan even more...

Compared with domestic fans who have little knowledge of the NCAA, American fans naturally have a more intuitive understanding of Juwan. They all admit that Zhuwan is a very good guy, with super immediate combat power, and even makes him faintly suppress Carmelo Anthony. LeBron James is "neck and neck", and Paul Pierce and the sixth pick in the first round can be exchanged for him... Is it a bit too desperate?

Has Auerbach lost his mind?

After the draft, there were many such voices.

Some well-known media, including some well-known media, expressed "not optimistic" about Auerbach's decision-making in the draft!
The "Los Angeles Times" directly and mercilessly ridiculed the "old rival": "He wants to get the next Larry Bird, and he seems to be crazy!"

This is the voice of doubt from the outside world.

Boston's local media, including the fans, did not have much criticism.

Of course, the main reason is that Auerbach promoted the completion of this deal. Based on their blind trust in Auerbach, they did not question it at all.

But if the deal is done by Angie himself.

To be honest, if the Boston media and fans don't scold him, it's not over.

This is good news for Zhu Wan. He also doesn't want his team's fans to chase after his ass all day long, and then come to lick him after being conquered by his performance.

That would only make him feel uncomfortable.

Although he knew that if it wasn't for Auerbach, such a thing would definitely happen according to the urine of Bostonians.But... it didn't happen now, so he can pretend not to know.

Speaking of which, in the past few days, more details about his deal have also been disclosed by the media, and the fact that Auerbach stumbled just after his comeback has also spread in the league.

When Zhu Wan knew that these plans of the Nuggets were Kroenke's idea, he was not surprised.

Later, in 2010, he pretended to appease Carmelo Anthony to renew his contract, promising "never trade you", and then secretly continued negotiations with New York, using him to add Billups, Williams, Anthony Carter and Balk Mann traded Wilson Chandler, Felton, Gallinari, Mozgov from New York, the Knicks' 2014 first-round pick and two second-round picks the Knicks had from the Warriors. Draft picks and 300 million cash... This transaction can be said to be one of the best transactions in the face of superstar transfers. It directly poached all the main players of the Knicks at the time, and took away the Knicks In the future, I will also make some money by the way.

This guy has means and strategies. This time Auerbach is in the open and he is in the dark. It is only normal to be calculated.

But still the same sentence, with his eyes open, Zhu Wan admired Auerbach's emergency response even more.In his opinion, this wave of operations is to get Larry Bird and Michael Jordan into the same team!
As for Auerbach, all he has to do now is to wait slowly and wait for the wind reviews to reverse...

And it can be seen from the fact that Auerbach has not responded to the reports of this matter so far, he really intends to do this!
Two days before arriving in Boston, Zhu Wan was in no hurry to go to the North Shore Garden Arena to sign the contract. He had to rent the house first, and then because Zhu Jianmin had returned to China, he had to reconnect Butler with a high school in Boston...

Moving house and transferring school, these things sound very cumbersome.

Although Hapi has been in contact for a few days, it is up to Zhu Wan to decide the final result.

Just like that, Zhu Wan finally ended his moving and school transfer after a long and tiring journey.

The new home was placed in a newly built wealthy area, and with various taxes, it cost about 100 million to get a small villa, with about six rooms and three living rooms, and a swimming pool in the yard.

It's a small expense, but it's a must from a security standpoint.

In addition, this community is also very close to North Shore Garden, about 30 minutes by car.

On the second day after the handover of the house, Happy gave Zhu Wan a little "surprise". He sent a H03 that just came out of the Hummer in 2 to Zhu Wan's garage: "It's just me preparing for your housewarming." gift!"

This solved Zhu Wan's trouble of having to consider what car to buy.

Sona also sent his luggage from the school, and also sent the only photo of them together. Zhu Wan remembered that it was a school dance, and the two of them were photographed while dancing at the dance.

That dance is over.

Sona's feet were swollen for a week...

——I have received the luggage and photos. Where is your card number?
Zhu Wan asked Sona for the card number before, but she didn't reply.

This time he asked again, but Sona replied: Zhu Wan, I love you, but I don't want to be attached to you...

As far as Juwan could remember, this was the first time Sona said "no" to him.

It was only now that he realized that he didn't know Sona well.

After thinking for a long time, Zhu Wan finally did not reply to the message, he didn't know what to say.

Not knowing what to say, what Zhu Wanneng did was to pack his luggage and put all the certificates and trophies he had won in college into a small room. ——This will be dedicated to his honor in the future.

He stuffed the photos of the old man, his second uncle, and Butler in New York a few days ago into photo frames, and found some tables and cabinets to put them on. This immediately made the home a little more cozy.

Finally, he stuffed the photo sent by Sona into the frame and put it on his bedside table.

He was about to tidy up here, when he suddenly heard a shout from across the street: "Zhu Wan, Zhu Wan!"

The voice sounded familiar.

When he went out to see it, Zhu Wan was a little dumbfounded.

It's Dwyane Wade...

A few days ago, Wade said that he wanted to buy a house with Zhu Wan. From now on, we will be brothers on the court and neighbors off the court.

It was a good idea, but considering that there was Butler beside him, Zhu Wan didn't want Wade to become NTR, so he refused.

Unexpectedly, this guy still bought the right door!
It can only be said to be God's will.

All Zhu Wan can do is to be optimistic about Butler, the unlucky boy.

However, Zhu Wan reacted belatedly at this moment, he seemed to be frantically picking up Pat Riley's wool, and he abducted the two big cores of the Heat team that Pat Riley was optimistic about...

Jimmy Butler's new school also had results in these two days. After inspecting several high schools, Juwan arranged him in Windsor Middle School, a famous basketball high school in Boston.

At this time, the story of Juwan and Jimmy Butler has spread throughout the United States along with the popularity of Juwan after the draft.When the principal of the school knew that Jimmy Butler was going to transfer to their school, he enthusiastically stamped the transfer application.

Oh, by the way, I have to mention here that because Juwan adopted Jimmy Butler, he is also considered by many blacks to be their best friend.

Among them, many local associations also spoke out...

This allowed Zhu Wan to inadvertently get another batch of huge support from the underground.

It also made him can't help but say something in his heart: Sure enough, in the beautiful country, protecting the black pi is zzzq.

The road widens invisibly...
