Chapter 14 Signing

After hanging up the phone, Li Ba quickly booked the air ticket and chose the cheapest flight from Newark Airport to Konggang Airport.[-] dollars (including tax) after the discount, arrive at [-]:[-] am tomorrow, and arrive at [-]:[-] noon, and there will be a free lunch on the plane.

Excited, Chen Hong immediately started writing news again. He is the only reporter in China who knows the news. There are dozens of domestic media reporters in Dayao, but he is the only one!

Houston, Dawson made a phone call to China.

"Yao, unfortunately, I guess that young man will not come to our team." He said.

"Has a team signed him yet?" Dayao asked in surprise.

At this time, he was training in Beijing, preparing to participate in the Asian Championships held in Harbin in September.This is a crucial game, and the champion will directly qualify for the Athens Olympics next year.

He knew that a compatriot participated in the draft this year, but also because of the scouting report, he didn't continue to learn about it. He was a little surprised until Dawson told him what happened at Rock Park yesterday.

Of course, it wasn't his intention that the Mosaic team wanted to sign Li Ba, he didn't have the qualifications, it was Dawson's own intention, and he just informed him.

"Yes, the Suns gave him a 1+1. The same contract, he did not agree to us." Dawson said.

In fact, he didn't say anything. Originally, he had prepared a one-year non-guaranteed contract, but he changed his mind only after Li Ba exposed the Suns' contract.

"That's a pity." Dayao laughed.

"His number?" Dawson asked.

"Of course." Dayao said.

After getting the number, he was about to dial it for a chat, but Jiang Xingquan, the head coach of the national team, called him, so he had to put down the phone first and call again when he was free.

The next morning, Chen Hong came over, and the two boarded the plane together. They got off the plane at Konggang Airport at noon. Wilder came to pick him up, and then the three went to the headquarters of the Suns.

Of course, the headquarters is not the American West Arena, that is just the home of the game, the Suns have another headquarters and training center.

When I came to the headquarters, I called Frank first, and the latter took Li Ba to do a physical examination.

Luo is 205cm tall, 208cm tall with shoes on, weighs 110kg, arms span 230cm, palm length 27cm, palm width 29cm, original jump 65cm, assist jump 78cm, touch height 2.86m, bench press 188kg, high jump 1.89m, long jump 7.04m, stay in the air Time 0.62 seconds.

百码12.8S,3/4场冲刺3.5秒,3/4场带球冲刺3.93秒。

Holding the physical test data, some Frank nodded, some shook his head, because some of the quality is too good, and some are too poor, showing a polarization phenomenon.

He believes that if Li Ba can improve his agility and speed, he will have a truly super-giant body.

"Coach, if I have professional training, my strength will be even stronger!" Li Ba said, puffing up his unusually developed biceps.

Frank looked at that thick arm, which was the only way to carry a person, and nodded involuntarily.

"Now your bench press is already at the top of the league, and O'Neal will not be stronger than you. In the future, your strength training should strengthen explosive training and add some flexibility training." He said.

Li Ba's strength really moved him. His coaching is different from D'Antoni's. He emphasizes positional warfare, and Li Ba's strength can help the team.

Especially with the Lakers in the same division who have four games to play, Li Ba's strength can provide the team with some capabilities.

Of course, he thinks that Li Ba still needs some inside training. The current Li Ba is not enough to look down upon in front of Malone and O'Neal. A basketball game is not a strongman game, and strength cannot replace everything.

"Okay, coach." Li Ba nodded.

Frank looked at the data carefully and analyzed Li Ba's situation.

In terms of height, he is a typical fourth position, but he can also play at the third position.

In terms of wingspan and weight, the fifth position can also be played.

But playing the third position, Li Ba is definitely not good. His speed is too slow, he has no scoring ability from the outside, and he has no ability to pull defense from the outside, so he can only play inside.

Wingspan, palm length, and strength are all advantages, and they are top-level qualities. They have a competitive advantage in the interior, but their shortcomings are also obvious.

"Do you know the physical measurement data of the No. 203 pick James? His body is 110cm and his weight is 214kg. You are similar. His wingspan is [-]cm, which is your advantage. You also have an advantage in palm length and palm width. In terms of jumping, he is super You are a long way, he jumped one meter. What I want to talk about now is speed, do you know what his [-] meters is?" Frank said.

Li Ba shook his head, how could he know that?

"10.4 seconds." Frank said.

"So fast?" Li Ba almost bit his tongue.

This is more than two seconds faster than him, that is, running a hundred meters, can the opponent throw him 20 meters?Fuck!

"What's even better is that his 40-meter speed has reached 4.5 seconds, and his sprint speed is extremely fast. If you know this speed, you can participate in the [-]-meter trapeze competition." Frank sighed.

Li Ba is speechless, isn't this quality too bullying?I didn't expect the little old man seen in Rock Park to be so powerful.

"His three-quarters is 2.89 seconds, dribbling 3.22 seconds, do you know what that means?" Frank said.

"I know..." Li Ba nodded, and said with a wry smile, "It means that if he goes on a fast break and I chase him, he will take off from the free throw line and I will still be sprinting in the midfield."

"Puff!" Frank laughed.

"Okay, I'm just saying this to let you know that it doesn't mean anything if you beat Bosh. After entering the league, you must learn to be humble, otherwise you will leave the league soon." Frank said.

"I will." Li Ba promised, raising his fist.

Frank was speechless when he saw the pair of big fists.I taught you to be humble, why are you raising your fist?

With this physical measurement data, they went directly to general manager Jerry Colangelo.

Colangelo took a look at the data. To be honest, he didn't feel bad about signing players with this data with a basic salary contract.

Regardless of everything else, just rely on one point, the bench press.

He knew that Karl Malone's bench press at his peak was 200KG, and O'Neal was the strongest at this level. Although Li Ba is weaker, isn't he still young?And I heard that he didn't receive the most professional strength training, so there may be room for improvement.

The point is that Ma Long is old now, and his strength is at most similar to that of Li Ba. By signing Li Ba, he will get a meat shield that can carry Ma Long in the paint, and a basic salary is not a loss.

The contract was signed quickly, and there was nothing to discuss about the basic salary contract.

Relying on one block to get an NBA contract, neither Li Ba nor Wilder has the confidence to bargain.

This year's non-veteran basic salary contract is about 37 US dollars, and the salary is paid every two weeks.

Li Ba and Wilder did some calculations, and after paying the federal and state taxes, there is 20 US dollars left, which is already very good. After buying a pair of good legs for his father, he can train and live stably by himself.

Just after signing the contract, Li Ba's cell phone rang.

"Feel sorry!"

He walked out of the office and connected the phone, only to be startled by the person over there.

"Is that Li Ba? I am Yao Min."

"Dayao?"

"Are you signing with the Suns?"

"Oh, yes, just signed."

"Signed so soon?"

"Sorry, Dayao, the Mosaic team..."

"I'm not talking about that. I want to introduce you to an agent. Having a good agent is definitely good for your NBA career."

"Really? That's great, thank you, Dayao. In addition, I hired that agent temporarily yesterday. Do you want to introduce your agent to me?"

"That's right, have you heard of Bill Duffy, the top one, I'll send you the number, you can decide for yourself."

"Okay, thank you, Dayao."

"There is nothing to thank, there are only a few of us over there, let's take care of each other."

After the three left the team, Wilder expressed his hope to sign a formal contract with Li Ba.If there was no call from Dayao, Li Ba might have thought about it, but of course he refused now.

"Why?" Wilder asked.

"Wilder, I'm sorry, we are just a temporary appointment." Li Ba didn't want to say anything more.

Wilder had no choice but to leave. Fortunately, he got 2000 U.S. dollars. Excluding the round-trip air ticket, he made a net profit of more than [-] U.S. dollars in two days, which was much better than Li Ba's bullfighting in Rock Park.

"Chen Hong, I'm going to rent a house, how about you?" Li Ba asked.

"I rent it too, together?"

For the time being, Chen Hong will follow Li Ba. He will be stationed in Phoenix, so he must rent a house.
