super small forward

Chapter 18 18. Heart

I gave Chen Hanni a check of $[-] for her event expenses, registered her phone number and email address with the players union, and left the signing of the contract to this chick.

Only $10,000 was given, not because Liu Ren didn't want to give more, but because he didn't have much money, and there was still $[-]+ left. The next salary will be in November, which is very embarrassing.

On Chen Hanni's side, when she went to the bank to withdraw $[-], she was really sure that Liu Ren really wanted her to be an agent. The little bit of resentment was still there, but she started to learn to be an agent.

As a former NBA reporter, Chen Hanni is quite familiar with the current NBA free market. She is not worried at all that no team will sign Liu Ren, and Liu Ren is getting a lot of attention now.After the heat of the finals slowly dissipated, people focused their attention on the draft and the free market.

Compared with this year's rookies who are mediocre and unattractive, the free market is what attracts the most attention.

Howard's fate has become the biggest show.

Liu Ren's fate is also in people's attention.

Last year, D'Antoni activated Jeremy Lin and helped Jeremy Lin get a 3-year 2500 million contract. This year he got Liu Ren. People want to see how big a contract Liu Ren can get this year.

Faster than Chen Hanni expected, just the second day after becoming Liu Ren's agent, he received calls from the executive management of four teams.

……

"Okay, Coach Budenholzer, Liu and I will seriously consider your offer." Chen Hanni hung up the phone.

It was already the fourth team's management that called, all wanting to get a verbal promise from her to prevent Liu Ren from reaching an agreement with the Lakers in advance.

The first team to call was Spurs general manager Buford, San Antonio...Liu Ren made it clear that he didn't want to go to that place where Mexicans and Latinos live together. The U.S. extension of the three-handed Mexico.

The customs of San Antonio are well-known throughout the United States, and they are full of bad reviews. People there are often forced to participate in some strange ethnic activities. Chen Hanni, who went to San Antonio for an interview, never wants to go to that place again.

Probably because this place is really boring and not suitable for playing, so everyone in the Spurs plays so hard?

It's true that if you don't work hard there, you don't know what to do. When you go out, you will meet ethnic minorities who don't know their names. Racial discrimination is very serious in the United States. If you meet them and don't participate in their activities, they will expose you on the Internet every minute The photo says you are racist.

So most people can only stay at home except for work.

So even though she was the first to call to discuss, Chen Hanni just exchanged a few words.

And the Spurs offer is 4 million in four years.

The number of years and salary are not within the range set out by Liu Ren. Liu Ren should not accept a contract of more than three years, and will not accept a contract below the middle class.

The second team was unexpected. In Toronto in the far east, Masai Ujiri, the general manager of the Raptors, asked about Liu Ren's contract. Although he didn't make an offer, he expressed his strong affection for Liu Ren. interest of.

The Raptors, an international team, are very interested in any capable international player. This is indeed the city Liu Ren would like to go to. The Eagles and Raptors with the Spurs system are both within Liu Ren's consideration.

Then came the Rockets, and Morey called.

According to Chen Hanni's impression, Morey should be very eager for Liu Ren, and should be the one with the most urgent offer.

but……

Morey gave Chen Hanni the feeling that he didn't really want to poach people, which is very strange anyway.

The last team to make an offer was the Atlanta Hawks, which copied the Spurs' team building model. Not to mention, this coach Budenholzer learned [-]% of Popovich's tricks.He is both the general manager and the executive president of the team's basketball team. He is very fond of international players, and he doesn't even care about whoever he wants to poach.

However, Budenholzer has a much better vision than Popovich's old partner Buford. The offer he gave was 3 million for three years, which is quite an attractive offer.

These quotations have to wait until the free market opens on July [-] before the real quotation can be made.

A few days later, as an agent, Chen Hanni received a formal contract offer for the first time. The Lakers made a qualification offer to Liu Ren, which was an offer of 170% of the price of last year's contract.

This is an offer for NBA teams to retain their rookie's priority renewal rights. Players cannot refuse. They can only choose to sign, or negotiate other contracts with their home team, or other teams have higher offers. Players accept After other teams bid, the home team chooses to match or give up.

Liu Ren doesn't understand the meaning of this offer. Chen Hanni, who has been working in basketball for almost a year, understands it better than him. Kupchak is reserving Liu Ren's priority to renew his contract first, and then wait until the draft is over. After that, let's talk about the contract renewal.

Most players with a good market like Liu Ren would not sign the contract so early, but choose to sell it in the summer. Maybe some team will give a premium contract.

Immediately afterwards, phone calls from a large number of sponsors who finally got the contact information of Liu Ren's manager came one after another...

……

As a rookie agent, Chen Hanni started to be busy.

Someone on the other side handed over the contract renewal task, and now the relaxed guy has returned to China, first slept in SH's hotel for two days to adjust the jet lag, and then returned to Suzhou, after packing up his luggage at the hotel, he went to work at this time in his previous life The unit.

Liu Ren is quite famous in the sports circle, especially in the Chinese basketball circle.

But in China, unless they are absolute superstars in the sports circle like Yao Ming, Liu Xiang, and Lin Dan, the people who know them in China will definitely not be as high as an [-]th-tier star.

Just like Yi Jianlian, ordinary people basically don’t know him, but Yao Ming, Kobe, Jordan, Liu Xiang and others even know their names even if they play chess, although some people always say: Alas, after our Yao Ming retired, The national football team has never entered the World Cup...

Liu Ren is not as well-known as Yi Jianlian in the country now, let alone familiar with those more than a dozen starlets, no one knows him when he walks on the street.

However, although those little stars can rely on selling meat and relying on lace news to let many people know their names, but in terms of economic value, Liu Ren would rather know himself as those sports enthusiasts, these people are good for their parents... …

When you go out in Los Angeles, you will be followed by paparazzi. It’s quite interesting to go back to China and stroll casually on the streets.

"When I become a superstar in the future, I won't have the chance to just leave when I return to China, right?" Liu Ren, this guy, started to ask questions again.

The hotel where Liu Ren lived was not far from the place where he worked in his previous life. In his previous life, he would pass by here every day when he went to work. He saw the hotel where he lived, but he never stayed there.

"Huh? Did I remember the wrong way?" Liu Ren wandered around for a long time, and suddenly found something, the building of the company in his previous life was gone!

Not only that, but the buildings in that area are all different!

Immediately afterwards, he took a taxi to the location of the rental house in his previous life. The driver didn't find the neighborhood where he lived, and asked Liu Ren if he had forgotten the name of the neighborhood.

So he could only take a taxi back to the hotel, and returned to the room under the strange eyes of the taxi driver.

There is no self in this world, not even everything.

Although he had guessed this possibility a long time ago, he was still a little disappointed when he really knew it was the case.

"Zhuang Zhou dreaming of a butterfly? Butterfly dreaming of Zhuang Zhou? Maybe I think I have traveled through time. Is it possible that I had a long dream?"

"But no matter what, I am still me, I am me, and I am Liu Ren."

"Now I am not that dazed wage earner, I want to become a superstar in the NBA! Now that you know what will happen in the future, then get what you want from it!"
