The best shooting guard in basketball

Chapter 13 New Season Opening

Under the leadership of Hollins, Wu He reached an agreement with the Nets and signed a two-year rookie contract totaling 210 million US dollars, which is a team option for the second year.

In other words, although Wu Hyuk successfully passed the test, the Nets still only gave him a one-year chance to prove himself.

"Guys with no skills can still sign a contract." Similarly, after completing his first contract signing in his life today, Jefferson looked a lot more arrogant. After all, he is the first round pick of this year. Wu Hyuk cannot be compared with him in terms of contract size and privileges.

"Don't worry, Michael, as long as you can show your worth, money is a trivial matter." After completing the signing of Wu He, Rich said something to him, and then the two bid farewell. Next, Rich still has other clients to deal with.

After tossing and returning to the room rented by Xiao Nansi, Wu He was a little tired. Although he was a little surprised that Xiao Nansi was not at home, he still went into his room and fell asleep.

There was nothing to say overnight, but the NBA exploded in the next few days!

"The dust has settled, Anthony Davis signed a 5-year 1.45 million super contract!"

"Kawhi Leonard signed a five-year, $5 million contract with the Spurs!"

"Kevin Love won a 5-year 1.1 contract!"

All of a sudden, the NBA became an era of big contracts flying all over the sky. Various contracts with annual salaries of tens of millions emerged one after another. One stone caused a thousand waves. Even TNT held a special symposium for this.

At the beginning, Reggie Miller, who was wearing a formal suit, was the first to throw out his point of view: "Hey, guys, the current players are not qualified to get such a big contract at all, they are simply asking for money!"

"If before today, you told me that Dragic could actually get a contract as big as Leonard, then I would definitely think you are a lunatic." Kenny Smith, who holds the same opinion as Reggie Miller, even stood up and said a little excitedly: "The Heat have not renewed Dwyane's contract for a long time, but they are willing to give an average guard a maximum salary. It's unbelievable!"

"Guys, calm down, I think the league has gone crazy." Barkley, who was also sitting, was very calm: "As far as I know, the Cavaliers are preparing to give Tristan Thompson a five-year contract of around 5 million. Wow, do you know what this means?"

"A blue-collar guy who grabs guns and rebounds will have an FMVP-level salary." Barkley continued: "If Thompson can win this contract, then other things don't matter at all."

"There are even more absurd things, Charles." O'Neill next to Barkley smiled and looked at Barkley. He said, "The Chinese rookie who helped me win 50 yuan also got an NBA-level contract. Maybe you will comment on his games this season."

"Hahaha, a Chinese defender actually got an NBA-level contract. Do you hear me? The league has gone sour this season!" Hearing O'Neal's words, Barkley, who was still a little calm at first, pulled his tie: "Commenting his games? I'm sorry, but I may not see him on an NBA court until next season."

"Uh, Charles, let's continue discussing the contract." Smith coughed and reminded.

"It's very simple. I think everyone just needs to wait for the news about Thompson and the Cavaliers to know whether there is any need to discuss this issue." Not thinking about Wu Hyuk, Barkley leaned back in his seat.

"Maybe I should remind you, Charles, that Michael Wu's agent is the same as Thompson's, and that guy also has LeBron under him." Seeing that Barkley calmed down a little, O'Neal leaned forward and whispered again.

"Shaq!"

Amidst the laughter, the TNT symposium continued.

On the other side, Wu He was ready to go. Since returning home that day, Nance Jr. hadn't appeared again. To be precise, Nance Jr. hadn't returned to the rented house after that call from Larry Nance.

There is a text message left by Xiao Nansi in Wu He's mobile phone.

"See you in Los Angeles, my brother."

"Then see you in Los Angeles."

Turning off the phone, Wu Hyuk walked out of the house, and Rich Paul had been waiting for a long time.

"Wu, when you get to Brooklyn, you'll have to buy your own car." After getting in the car, Rich joked. Seeing Wu Hyuk wasn't very happy, and he said, "If you're worried about money, there's no need at all. You just need to show your worth, and I'll leave the rest to you."

"Tristan is your role model."

After that, a contract that shocked everyone appeared. With the help of Rich Paul, Thompson signed a five-year 5 million maximum salary contract in one fell swoop, and became a first-tier star in the league in terms of salary.

"Don't worry, Michael, do a good job, you are my another Tristan!" The day after Thompson's contract was signed, Rich sent a text message to Wu Hyuk.

The NBA's off-season came to a lively end with a series of tens of millions of super contracts and even several billion yuan contracts. In October, the new season of the NBA kicked off in the preseason.

As a rookie, Wu Hyuk didn't get even a minute of performance in the Nets' eight preseason games, so some fans were very dissatisfied!
"We came to see Michael, not to see Lopez or Joe Johnson lead the team to lose here!"

"Yes, we want Michael, and it's worth our fare to have him on the field!"

In front of the camera, three or two Chinese who came to Barclays Center Arena from Chinatown shouted at the camera. Some even wore the Nets' No. 7 jersey and held a sign saying "We want Michael."

"Is this the report from the front?" In ESPN's commentary room, the famous reporter Stephen Smith looked a little embarrassed: "I think what everyone wants to see is the discussion between the fans about the two teams, rather than a rookie who didn't even qualify for the preseason."

"That's right, this is the Nets' first game of the new season. It's the team's first game after losing Deron Williams and Kevin Garnett, and the opponent is the mighty Chicago Bulls." Another famous American talker, Bayless, called out the core players of both sides on the big screen behind.

"The focus of everyone's attention should be Lopez and Jimmy Butler, who got a big contract this summer-the new face of the Bulls." Bayless said, and then called out the expected starters of both sides, talking freely, and said nothing about Wu Hyuk, who was mentioned very frequently in the interviews with fans before the game.

At the same time, in the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, the arena was not full. Even if the opponent was the mighty Bulls, the Nets, who hadn't won a game in the preseason, still didn't attract enough popularity, so that many of the already small number of fans still wore red Bulls jerseys.

It was the warm-up stage for both sides at this time, but Wu He was pulled aside by the head coach Hollins.

"Listen, Michael, always be ready to play, you will be our secret weapon!"
