Chapter 95 Naturalization
Putting it like this a few months ago, who would dare not pass the ball when he clapped his hands, heh!I didn't expect to meet someone who didn't give me face today.

If it was a player with a good temper like Chinchilla, he would not get angry on the court, but he would definitely chat with the coach and general manager off the court, and if he encountered core players with bad tempers like Kobe and O'Neal, this Sometimes they call a timeout right away and tell you to go back to the bench.
But Durant is not that kind of tough player, he doesn't even show any signs of it, Du Shubao is the core of the Thunder team since his rookie season, but he has not imprinted his temperament on the Thunder team , the unique boss of the Thunder team became the Thunder's second young man, and finally became the Thunder's third young man. The status of Westbrook and Harden gradually became equal to Durant's true core. The Warriors have started the new giant mode of "If I can't beat you, I will join you", which makes many fans feel that Durant does not have a strong heart at all.

If it is said that James has started the mode of grouping top superstars and making many fans feel ashamed, then Durant, who joined the Western Conference Finals to defeat his enemies, is even more so. With 5 draft picks, he at least left the future to his home team. By the time Du Shao left, the Thunder hadn't even gotten a hair. This is too heartless for a team that has played for 9 years. a little bit.

If you resign in a normal company, you have to file a resignation report a few weeks in advance, so that the company can arrange the manpower to take over your position, but when Shubao Du left so suddenly, after he became a free agent, he left as soon as he wanted to, which made the Thunder 16. -The 17 season was completely abandoned. The team's task for a season has become to let Megatron collect data. The first round of the playoffs also ended hastily. Judging from the double + 30 triple-doubles in a single season, they are not particularly failures, but from the perspective of the team, the Thunder are getting farther and farther away from the goal of the championship.
On the other hand, on the side of the Rockets, no one dared not to look at Totoro's face and act. The first bird Artest has completely demonstrated the ending of the "rebellion" to others, and the rest of the players will naturally A lot of peace, Totoro relied on a lot of ball possessions, and before the end of the game, it was a triple-double of 26+11+10.

In the last game, he surpassed the little emperor to become the youngest 30+ man in nba history. This game also produced a triple-double. Now domestic fans have regarded Totoro as the future worship of Chinese basketball , the major commercial contracts in China have been smashed towards Totoro's head. Under the pressure of domestic fans, the Chinese Basketball Association has recently stepped up its planning for Totoro. They even sent a little giant to be a lobbyist. Let him persuade Chinchilla to change his nationality.

As for Totoro itself, he is still very happy to return to his home country, but there is a little problem with the tax he will pay to the Basketball Association after planning the Basketball Association.

Chinese athletes have to pay taxes to the State Sports General Administration. This is a regulation for all sports, not just basketball, table tennis, football and badminton are the same.

China is divided into two types of players inside the system and players outside the system. To put it simply, the players inside the system are cultivated by the state. The degree of personal freedom is very low. Signing contracts and transferring things must follow the national standards. Just pay more, and players outside the system are a little more free.

It is said that a serious player in the system like Yao Ming once handed over 50% of his annual salary to the Basketball Association.
As for a player born and bred in the United States like Totoro, the Basketball Association thought about it, and in the end, the Lions were embarrassed to ask for 50% of Totoro's annual salary, and a little reservedly proposed 20%, which they thought was a reasonable figure.

When the little giant was talking about this matter with Totoro, the beauty manager Bugay was also sitting next to Totoro. When Dayao said a share with a complicated expression, Bugay refused without thinking. .

Just kidding, other people invite big-name players to join with the promise of benefits, and that is the real invitation, recruiting talents, but why do we have to pay an entry fee when we join the Basketball Association?What kind of hospitality is this?
Of course, for such an important matter, the agent can't be the master. Totoro thought about it, and finally rejected the basketball association's kindness.

What he is worried about is not money, but his development in nba.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that although Totoro has the same skin color as the little giant, he does not enjoy Yao Ming's body hair-style foul call, and sometimes even leans towards him. The most fundamental reason is that their identities are different. Same.

If Totoro returns now, he doesn't know whether he can become a star in the NBA, but at least the league will not promote him, the referees will not take care of him, and his American fans will no longer support him.

Chinese fans are very important and there are a lot of them, but the NBA is a professional league in the United States after all. No matter how many Chinese fans you have, it is impossible for them to be as important as their own fans.

So Totoro he has planned.

He will not think about naturalization now, and of course he will not go to other countries' national teams to play in those international competitions. He is going to play in the NBA first, anyway, he is still young
When he wins three consecutive championships in the NBA and creates a new dynasty, he will return to his home country. At that time, he was still at the end of his peak at the age of 30, and he had accumulated a certain amount in the NBA. Even if he really chooses to join China at that time, I am afraid that fans in the United States will not make irresponsible remarks on his decision, let alone fear that some league will deliberately discredit him.
