In the end, Luo Xi really sat aside to watch Richard train.

When it was almost noon, Gao Jie called and asked Richard to meet at the coffee shop last time.

It must be about the sneaker contract, but I don’t know why. Judging from Gao Jie’s distrust of Richard last time, this time he will talk about his poor performance yesterday, and may suppress the price.

Signing must be signed, just for your own feelings and soul, 50 will be signed every year, but who would think it is too much money.

Luo Xi happened to be together, and the two chatted for a while, discussing the compromise and the bottom line.

Then he went to see Gao Jie full of apprehension.

The difference from the last time is that the last time the price hike was successful, there are great benefits, and if you fail, you won't lose too much.This time, if you succeed, you can only keep it, but if you fail, you will lose a lot.

Such a mentality gap is easy to compromise.

"Mr. Richard, Miss Luo, hello!" Gao Jie was very enthusiastic when he saw the two of them.

It's just that Richard's sportswear is still full of the smell of sweat, and Luo Xi is also in a casual sports state, which makes Gao Jie a little puzzled.

The last time I didn't say how formal it was, at least the formal clothes were neatly dressed.

"Assistant Gao, is there any result or news for us today?" Luo Xi grabbed the floor first.

"Of course, I have already reported the contract situation to the president, and after the discussion of the board of directors yesterday, it has been agreed. And the signing is still based on the season time, so as to avoid Mr. Richard's troubles in the middle."

"Huh? I thought it was yesterday..." Richard spoke too quickly, and almost said what he shouldn't have said.

Fortunately, Luo Xi raised the cup and stuffed it into Richard's mouth, interrupting and stopping Richard's words.

"Yesterday?" Gao Jie smiled slightly. "Yesterday's game statistics were not very good, but Mr. Richard's sportsmanship is worthy of recognition. This has something in common with our brand, so..."

Gao Jie shook his head, "You don't have to worry. But we also stated in the contract that if you can't become a regular player of the team but become a free agent, our contract will be adjusted accordingly."

This kind of clause is reasonable. If the other party gives you a sneaker contract, and then you stop playing, isn’t other people’s money wasted?

Luo Xi picked up the contract again to check it out, leaving Richard and Gao Jie to chat face to face.

"I talked to Mr. Richard last time. You are of American nationality. I wonder if you are of Chinese descent?"

"Probably." Richard said nonsense.

"Sigh... Huaxia hasn't made a breakthrough in basketball for many years. This year's five-game losing streak in the Olympics is still the bottom team." Gao Jie sighed slightly, "If there are a few more players in the NBA, the situation will be much better."

"Huaxia also has excellent players. Zhou Qi has a higher draft pick than me this year, and sooner or later he will be able to achieve results." Zhou Qi was selected by the Rockets with the 16rd pick in 43, which is much higher than Richard's loss.

But Zhou Qi did not sign the contract immediately, but continued to play in the CBA for a year, so there is currently no Chinese player in the NBA.

It's just that Richard knows better that Zhou Qi has been playing in the Development League after signing the contract. He finally played 19 games in the regular season of his NBA career and scored a total of 24 points.

Then he was cut and returned to CBA to play again.

Gao Jie nodded again and again. So far, Huaxia has sent almost all inside players to the NBA. The main reason is that the yellow races do not have long arms and do not jump high, so either they are really talented, or they can only rely on their original height to gain an advantage.

"I really hope there are more players like Mr. Richard." Gao Jie didn't hide his emotions at all.

"The 19 Men's Basketball World Cup will be held in China. It would be great if there is a stronger lineup." Gao Jie is still looking forward to it.

The speaker is not interested in the listener. In the 19 World Cup, although the legendary coach Popovich served as the head coach of the US team, but because there were not many stars joining the national team, he did not even make it to the semi-finals. Many people in the US called it the most shameful game in the history of basketball.

If there is a strong lineup, there is a better chance of achieving results.

Thinking of this, Richard thought of a word - naturalization!
If he is naturalized back to Huaxia and has a nationality, he can represent Huaxia to compete for a better ranking, and secondly, he can return to the embrace of the motherland.

But it is not appropriate to mention this matter for the time being. I am already changing history, or this is not the world I am in. It is not known whether there will be a super dream team in 19.

"There is nothing wrong with the contract." Luo Xi finally read all the terms.

"Great, thank you Ms. Luo. Let's make a small agreement first, and the contract signing will be left until the end of the season. This way, it will be more convenient for advertising and publicity, and will not cause trouble to all parties. It is too informal to sign a contract in this kind of coffee shop today."

"This arrangement is the best." Richard nodded in agreement.

Gao Jie took out the prepared agreement, and Richard formally signed his name on it.This also means that I can earn a lot more in the next few years.

"Mr. Richard's signature doesn't look like an English signature. On the contrary, it looks more like Chinese." Although Richard's writing is flamboyant, but the Chinese structure has up and down, but English has only front and back, and people with a discerning eye can see it at a glance.

"I like Chinese culture very much, so I took the time to practice, and my Chinese name is Li Cha!" The reason Richard made for himself sounds reasonable.

"Okay, then let's keep in touch." Gao Jie packed up his things and got up again to leave.

"Yes! Now I can finally feel at ease!" Richard clenched his fists excitedly after Gao Jie left.

"Does it mean that my big meal will be delayed again?" Luo Xi pouted a little unhappy.

"Uh..." Richard's joy was extinguished in an instant.

"I think you can buy me a few more meals, after all, I also work as a trainer part-time."

"Please, please at any time, as long as Miss Luo is free, you will be here at any time!" Richard only raised his hands in surrender, not daring to delay for a second.

"Can I only eat in the coffee shop today?" The training was almost at noon, and it was too late to go out to find a restaurant after chatting with Gao Jie and reviewing the contract.

So the two continued to have a meal in the coffee shop.

Luo Xi's bold eating and delicate face did not match at all.

On December 12, the Thunder returned home to meet the challenge of the Los Angeles Clippers.

This campaign has attracted the attention of many fans.

Not only because of the Big Three of the Clippers, but also because Richard's reputation in China has suddenly skyrocketed.

As if he had made an appointment to be late, the major media in China have only hyped up Richard's various performances until today.

Five consecutive games with 20+ points, sitting firmly in the best rookie team...overwhelming.Various self-media have also begun to analyze and interpret Richard's performance, technical moves and so on.

Now, in addition to the original Thunder fans, more and more people are attracted to Richard, a Chinese.

The scale is even better than that of Jeremy Lin before.

"Do you know? Richard's technical moves are very similar to Kobe's."

"Able to jump and shoot, and the technique is also very delicate, this Richard wants to be popular."

"I know Richard. His middle distance is already the only one in the league."

"What kind of news is this? Richard is from China, do you know?"

"Nice...then our national team has another strong player!"

"Don't listen to his nonsense, I haven't seen the news at all, and such a big event as being recruited into the national team will definitely be in the news."

……

The game between the Thunder and the Clippers happened on January 1st in China, and the fans stayed at home for the holiday, creating a game with high ratings.

The battle situation also lived up to the audience's expectations.

The two teams showed their special abilities, and a wonderful duel was presented in front of everyone.

Chris Paul, a generation of strong point guards, is synonymous with stability. He has a sophisticated style of play and is good at organizing and connecting. Although his physical fitness is not explosive, he has a good grasp of the rhythm.

Go-betweens from the outside, all kinds of coquettish passes; a stable mid-range shot can attack the city.The team's offense is very smooth under the leadership of Paul.

Defense is also at the master level, tough defense, accurate and fierce steals are also Paul's means of making fans boil.

And Westbrook can be regarded as two very different styles.

The duel between the two also brought a lot of highlights to the game.

On the one hand, Westbrook can rely on speed and strength to break through and attack the basket; on the other hand, Paul retaliates with skillful skills.

On the one hand, Westbrook broke through and scored the ball simply and rudely to get an assist; on the other hand, Paul's embroidered and delicate command drove the team's offense.

There were bursts of climaxes, which made the fans feel excited.

In addition to these two team leaders, the other two Clippers giants also performed brilliantly.

Blake Griffin, nicknamed "Gilifen" by others, is famous for his violent style of play. As a No. [-] pick, one can imagine how strong his physical fitness is.

Split dunks, riding dunks, spaced dunks, alley-oops, which goal is not a slam dunk is surprising.Because of his outstanding strength and strong bounce, he can dunk all kinds of inside players, which makes the audience's adrenaline soar.

The inside line of the Thunder was also turned upside down by Griffin.

DeAndre Jordan, with the same strong physical fitness, could only be a blue-collar center. Under Paul's feeding, he abruptly became a giant.

Little Jordan, who has almost no autonomous offensive ability, is considered a rebounding maniac. He also has a strong bounce and can protect the basket and grab rebounds very well.

In the eyes of Paul, who is good at sorting out offenses and seizing opportunities, Jordan's ability has become a scoring tool.

That's how it got its name as the City of Lob Pickups.

Alley-ooping, feeding cakes inside, Jordan's scoring average has also reached more than ten points per game, double-double data and dominance at the basket, as if he has become the ruler of the inside.

And Adams, who is equally powerful and obsessed with rebounds, and Jordan's matchup became a collision of strength and a hand-to-hand combat scene.

It also makes fans look forward to and go crazy.

Richard, an outside shooter, changed the battle between the giants.
