NBA backer king

Chapter 19 Signing a $800 Big Contract

Speaking of which, Wang Tiejun’s mood is a bit up and down now. When he was in Cangzhou Sports School, he was the team’s top scorer, and he often scored 30+40+ points. But tonight, after playing for such a long time, he only scored a pitiful 3 points. This performance is ashamed to go back to the sports school. Can he still get the contract?
"Old K, you performed well tonight."

Coach Paul Westphal came up from behind and said to Wang Tiejun with a smile.

"Am I doing well?"

Lao Wang, who has little experience, feels that his IQ has been humiliated. That pervert O'Neill scored 20+10. He is also a rookie. Is this not bad?
"Old K, you did a good job."

At this moment, Colangelo also followed and said to him with a smile.

"Is it really good?"

He trusted Colangelo a lot, and he began to trust him a little bit.

"Kevin, how did I play?" he turned to Kevin Johnson.

Kevin Johnson is not as knowledgeable as he is. He is a superstar. Of course he can see his value in this game. He nodded and said with a smile: "Old K, you really did well tonight."

"Hey rookie, good game tonight."

At this time, Barkley, who had just finished the on-site interview, caught up from behind and said to him with a smile on his face.

"Ha ha……"

The three became a tiger, and now he believed it, and suddenly became excited, and said with a smile on his face: "Yes, I think so too."

Back in the dressing room, Wang Tiejun sat down and leaned directly on the wardrobe. As soon as he relaxed, he felt very, very tired, exhausted a lot of physical energy, and his whole body was sore, he didn't want to move a finger.

This is because O'Neal does not engage in confrontation with him later. If he really confronts the whole court and does it every offensive and defensive round, his physical fitness simply cannot last three to 10 minutes of that intensity, and two quarters are enough.

Lifting the jersey and looking at the chest, there are large bruises and a lot of red marks, as well as the back.

The bruises were left over from the confrontation with O'Neal. Although he made O'Neal suffer a lot, he also suffered on the defensive end.

O'Neill's explosive power is very strong, and he can explode with greater power than him in the offense. If he hadn't used the iron mountain to rely on hitting, he couldn't stop it at all.

It's just that he practiced iron mountain backing since he was a child, and he also practiced with medicinal oil, so his injury was not as serious as O'Neill's.

As for these red marks, that guy O'Neill got the elbow, and the fat man made a lot of tricks.

He also learned to return a few elbows, but the elbow man's skills were not good enough, and he was watched by the referee. After two fouls, he didn't dare to elbow. He was afraid of being fined, and he suffered a lot from O'Neill.

Before taking a shower, there was a post-match debriefing in the locker room.

Head coach Paul Westphal praised Wang Tiejun for his hard work in the game, which made Mark West somewhat dissatisfied.

But he came back today and only played 6 minutes. All the statistics are slightly equal to zero, so he is not qualified to speak.

As for Oliver Miller, he was shattered by O'Neill, and has been beaten to the point where he lost all confidence.

When the two saw Lao Wang being praised by the head coach, their faces were stinky.

After taking a shower, Barkley, Kevin Johnson, and Dan Marley, who scored 28 points tonight, went to the post-match press conference, and the rest of the players also ushered in the post-match locker room interview.

Comrade Lao Wang had a bright moment in this field and was favored by media reporters. Several reporters squatted in front of him.

"Wang, tell me about the offense that dunked O'Neal, how did you do it?" a reporter asked.

Wang Tiejun grinned and said: "That's very simple for me. Tonight, under O'Neal's perverted defense, I got close to the basket at least fifteen times, and he couldn't stop me."

"But you were blown to pieces by him," the reporter said.

"But we won, which means that he didn't help his team, and his statistics are useless." Wang Tiejun's rebuttal made the reporter shut up.

"Rookie, that's called empty chopping."

Danny Angie on the opposite side laughed.

"Yes, empty cut."

Lao Wang also smiled authentically.

At almost twelve o'clock, the team returned to the hotel.

Colangelo called Wang Tiejun to his room, put the prepared contract in front of him, and said with a smile: "Old K, take a look. If there is something you are not satisfied with, we can talk again."

Then he explained one more sentence: "Don't worry, the player's contract is in four copies, one for you, the team, the league, and the players union. It is supervised by the league and the union. There will be no trap clauses or clauses that violate league rules, otherwise it will be invalid."

"Okay, sir."

Pharaoh happily began to flip through the contract, first looking at the contract amount.

He didn't tell anyone about the Bulls looking for him. He has already decided that even if the Suns give him a basic salary, he will stay with the Suns.

Not for anything else, but for Jian Ba's kindness.

In fact, he also feels that his current strength is far from enough, and he doesn't understand why the Bulls gave him such a high contract.

Anyway, a basic salary is enough for him to solve the family's financial problems. When his strength improves in the future and he gets a second contract, he can ask for an equal contract based on his strength.

However, when he turned to that item, he was stunned.

The contract period is 3+1, and the last year is a team option. He doesn't quite understand the meaning of this, but the amount behind it makes his jaw almost dislocated.

第一年起薪竟然高达140万美元，年增幅30%，后三年分别是182万、236、306万，总合同金额达到了864万美元。

"This, this, so much money? Sir, didn't you say to give a basic salary?" He almost lost his eyeballs, and stammered.

"Who said there will be a basic salary?" Colangelo asked in surprise.

Wang Tiejun stammered: "Uh, sir, the Bulls only gave me a starting salary of 80, up to 120 million. How high are you?"

"What, the bull is looking for you?" Colangelo stood up in shock.

Lao Wang said awkwardly: "Well, at halftime, one of their scouts approached me and said that the Bulls' general manager was waiting for me in Philadelphia tomorrow."

Colangelo stared blankly at Wang Tiejun, before asking for a long time: "Then why are you willing to sign since you think I'm giving you a basic salary?"

Wang Tiejun laughed and said, "Mr. Colangelo, you were the one who took me out of Chinatown. It allowed me to have a formal job in the United States, and I no longer had to be afraid of the police. It also solved my financial problems. The kindness of knowing you is a great favor. I can't leave the Suns for money."

Colangelo was taken aback for another moment, then laughed loudly, patted Wang Tiejun on the shoulder vigorously, and sighed: "Old K, you play well in the Suns, and I guarantee that your contract will not be bad. You will get the best training in the Suns, and this is your home team."

Subsequently, he took the initiative to change the team option for the final year to a player option, and then the two parties signed a contract.

This contract far exceeds Oliver Miller's contract. Coupled with Colangelo's statement, this also means that Wang Tiejun will be the No. 1 pick for the Suns' fifth position.

In other words, regardless of playing time, or shots and ball rights, etc., will be given priority.

Especially when the center position of the Suns is unavailable, he almost booked the starting position of the center.

After sending Wang Tiejun away, Colangelo went to head coach Paul Westphal and talked to him about the team's main center forward.

He clearly stated that this position is Wang Tiejun who just signed a big contract, and it is not the future, but the present and the future.

Since Oliver Miller's performance is not satisfactory, this season's main center Mark West is just a helpless choice, so Paul Westphal and Colangelo have reached an agreement.
