Chapter 676 Unequal Treaties

Kahn came to the agreed place with Bai Jidong 10 minutes earlier and waited patiently.

This feeling is really strange, he is the general manager of the team, he should be the second person above the boss, but now he wants to bow his head to Bai Jidong.

The content of the conversation tonight will affect many things.Kahn's attitude towards Yi Jianlian, Yi Jianlian's contract and some things in the future.

When Bai Jidong came, Kahn was so enthusiastic that he seemed to be asking for help, and Bai Jidong was so enthusiastic that he felt embarrassed.

"I'm really sorry to keep you waiting." Bai Jidong still hadn't figured out Kahn's intention.

Kahn said: "White Wolf, this is your territory, do you have any recommendations?" Food.

"Then let's have two, let's try the Chinese flavor. To be honest, I have only been to Chinese restaurants a few times, but all I have eaten are improved Chinese food." Kahn seemed to be complaining.

"Don't worry, what you eat here must be authentic Chinese food." Bai Jidong smiled.

Both of them knew that the meal was not easy, but they were not in a hurry. They slowly progressed. Halfway through the meal, Kahn's topic suddenly changed.

"KG decided to jump out of the contract and enter the free market to test his value. What do you think of this?"

"I'm very disappointed, but this is KG's freedom. However, this is also related to some unnecessary off-court factors." Bai Jidong glanced at Kahn.

Although Kahn never targeted Bai Jidong, Bai Jidong was very dissatisfied with his small actions outside the court.

Kahn naturally knew what Bai Jidong said: "White Wolf, do you know how many resistances a flying object will encounter if it wants to take off?"

"Isn't "resistance" itself?" Bai Jidong didn't know why he suddenly mentioned flight mechanics, even if he wanted to show off his knowledge, he shouldn't show it off to a high school student who never went to college.

"There's traction, upward pull, gravity, and, you know, drag," Kahn said.

"There are times when resistance is in your way, what do you do?" Kahn said.

"I will clear the resistance. Maybe this behavior will have a negative impact, but in the long run, the benefits outweigh the risks." Kahn said.

It is difficult for Bai Jidong to understand Kahn, let alone accept Kahn's actions.

Sanders and Garnett have been at the helm of the Timberwolves for the past ten years. Kahn almost drove them out of Minnesota in just two years.

Kahn's determination to expel them was unshakable, irresistible, and perversely incomprehensible.

Garnett is definitely one of the top fifteen players in the league.He broke team scoring and rebounding records time and time again, delivered phenomenal performances not seen in the past 20 years, and his efficiency value was close to that of David Robinson and Wilt Chamberlain.But Kahn seemed eager to send his star away.

"Whether KG stays or not, we have to prepare both ways, so we chose Yi, he is very talented, tall enough, can run like KG, I think he is a very good addition to the team, we can play in the It was a stroke of luck to pick him in the second round," Kahn said.

Kahn what does this mean?

Bai Jidong was instinctively alert: "Yes, he is currently the most talented young man in China."

"How do you think we should plan his career?" Kahn asked.

Why do I have such a problem?Bai Jidong was confused when he heard this, and replied casually: "He is very young, he needs to improve in many aspects, and needs a rigorous and reasonable long-term plan."

"Indeed, every outstanding young man needs a reasonable long-term plan." Kahn drank a glass of wine, "Do you think Yi can start?"

This is the top priority of tonight's dinner.

There is an oolong in this, that is, Bai Jidong has been so busy recently because of his trip to Africa that he didn't know that Yi Jianlian's manager asked for the "compulsory starting" clause.

"I think it's OK."

He interpreted Kahn's question as whether Yi Jianlian could evolve into the team's starting player in the future.

With Yi Jianlian's talent, as long as he doesn't go astray, it's really not a big problem.

In Kahn's view, Bai Jidong's answer was tantamount to siding with Yi Jianlian.Now he had no choice but to agree to Fegan's ridiculous, unrealistic overlord clause.

Garnett's departure is almost a foregone conclusion, so Bai Jidong is the only superstar of the Timberwolves, and the entire team must be built around Bai Jidong.

Bai Jidong has won immortal glory for the Timberwolves. Owner Taylor said that the entire team will grow old with him.

Whether Feigen's terms are reasonable or not is no longer important, the most important thing now is Bai Jidong's attitude.Now that Bai Jidong has clarified his attitude, Kahn has no choice but to agree to that unequal treaty.

The next day, the roadside agency reported that Yi Jianlian had signed a contract with the Timberwolves. The contract included additional terms such as fixed playing time, multiple reward clauses, and a guaranteed starting position.

A second-round pick with a guaranteed starting job? Excuse me?

Soon, Yahoo reporter Fidel decided to read the news, and suddenly, the entire Internet exploded.

"Wahhaha, if the Timberwolves want to try the overlord clause, they should choose me instead of this useless Chinese chair man!"

"That's right, it's him. The rookie contract includes a fixed playing time commitment, a game reward contract, and a guaranteed starting contract. He is not Greg Oden or Kevin Durant. He is the dear Chinese chair man——Yi !"

"I thought the funniest thing this summer was that someone had sex with his sister. I didn't expect that one link would be linked. Is there any suspense about the MVP during this offseason? Anyone who doesn't vote for the Timberwolves, I will Take out the [-] centimeters long and shoot his children and grandchildren in the face."

Within a day, the details of Yi Jianlian's contract were viewed millions of times.

"Chair Man", "Minnesota Brain Injection Team", "Go to hell David Kahn", "I can do it if I do it" have become hot words on the Internet.

Bai Jidong didn't expect this incident, when he saw the details of the contract, his heart sank to the bottom of the valley a little bit.

That's why Kahn invited him to dinner, that's why Kahn said so much about Yi Jianlian, and that's why he asked Yi Jianlian if he could be the starter.

Kahn thought he knew about it, and deliberately spied on him. His unintentional words made the team sign a contract that could be laughed at for many years.

Yi Jianlian's debut?God!

After this incident, the one who was hit the hardest was Vern Simien. This young man is very satisfied with his current position, and he hopes to go further.

Simien has proved in the playoffs that he and the Timberwolves' styles are fully compatible. He can play under this system and be a bankrupt version of Garnett on both ends of the offense and defense.

If Garnett leaves, Himien is almost certain to be the number one heir, and now Yi Jianlian has fallen from the sky and snatched this position.

This summer, the Timberwolves have many role players who need to renew their contracts, such as third-year players Ukic and Simien; second-year Vashabek, and a bunch of veterans whose contracts have expired.

"This is a matter for the coaching staff. My job is to devote myself to training and competition." A reporter with good news asked Simien what he thinks about this.

Simien not only expressed his opinion, but also expressed his willingness to stay in Minnesota for a long time. "I like Apolis, and I like the fans and teammates here. I want to continue to fight side by side with them."

"Wayne's statement is very important to everyone. It takes a lot of time and energy to develop a young player into a mature player. Thank you Wayne, your selfless quality is more valuable than your skills." - " Minnesota Conqueror.

Simien's humble style is in contrast to Yi Jianlian.Before Yi Jianlian officially reported to the team, the Minnesota media portrayed him as a conceited and arrogant man who was surrounded by big bosses.

Yi Jianlian's signing incident has also aroused widespread discussion in China. Some of Yi Jianlian's black fans jokingly said: "Yi Jianlian is a national hero. He is the first Chinese since the founding of the People's Republic of China to allow the US imperialists to sign an unequal treaty." Man, we should applaud him!"

"What about the second-round picks? The main position has been locked before the joint practice, and Ah Lian just smiled."

"Yi Jianlian's team is putting White Wolf in an awkward position. Here I hope he can perform well as a starter, otherwise this will become the biggest black spot in White Wolf's career."

Most of the attacks were borne by Yi Jianlian. All of this had nothing to do with him. He was just a player, and the negotiation was left to his agent.

From the manager's point of view, Fei Gen is a very competent manager. He took advantage of Bai Jidong's influence and won Yi Jianlian an overlord contract that even the lottery show would envy.

It can be said that all the pressure is now on Yi Jianlian.

If Yi Jianlian performs well in the new season, this contract will be a good story that Bole values ​​Maxima in a few years.

Otherwise, it would be one of the big jokes in the "Timberwolves front office is out of their minds" series.

What about Yi Jianlian himself?Since too many things happened to him these days, he himself was not too surprised by the "Overlord Clause" incident.

On the second night after signing the contract, Bai Jidong invited Yi Jianlian and a group of teammates to his home for dinner.

The only Timberwolves players who stayed in Minnesota during the offseason are Vashabaker and Hardaway. These two have one thing in common, that is, they are gentle, not xenophobic, and have no competitive relationship with Yi Jianlian.

"Yi, White Wolf told me every day that there is someone in China who is as tall and fast as KG, and has similar physical fitness. I am looking forward to your future performance." Hardaway raised his glass and said.

And this?Yi Jianlian showed surprise, isn't this cheating him?
"That's right, it's him. From now on, don't call him the chair man, call him China KG!" Bai Jidong laughed.

Vashabek was relatively calm.To be precise, it is indifference. Vashabek treats everyone with this attitude, which is more similar to Yi Jianlian. If there is no such talkativeness as Bai Jidong, these two people can sit from beginning to end without a fart. put.

"Xiao Yi, this is your last glass of wine this year." Bai Jidong raised his glass to Yi Jianlian.

Yi Jianlian doesn't like drinking, but Bai Jidong must give him face.

"The starting position of the Timberwolves is not so easy to sit. If you do not perform well, I will replace you with someone better." Bai Jidong said flatly.

Yi Jianlian said: "I'm ready."

"Don't be so serious, this glass of wine is toast to you. After all, you are the first Chinese to let the Americans sign an unequal treaty since the founding of the People's Republic of China. You should be clear about it!" Bai Jidong joked in Chinese.

Yi Jianlian, who was expressionless, couldn't help laughing.

There is an American on the left and an African on the left and right.

　Regarding Yi Jianlian's arrangement, I can only say, please rest assured, I will only make Yi Jianlian better than in reality, but I will not exaggerate.It wouldn't be said that he came to the white wolf and was reborn.
