Chapter 18 The Good Man Billy King
Because his body has changed too much in a short period of time, his shooting ability is definitely not easy to recover, and he needs to adapt slowly; and ball control and breakthrough itself are not Channing's specialties, so he decided to start with defense first, and put his body to the next level. Bring out the superiority in the field, as for the offense, that will be discussed later.

Taking agent John Hamilton on a trip to Philadelphia, Channing met with 76ers owner Ed Snyder, general manager Billy King and head coach Maurice Cheeks.

Ed Schneider doesn't look as vulgar as ordinary local tyrants, and he is pretty good to Channing. It is said that the sudden selection of Channing with the No. Because of the consideration of the huge Chinese market, Channing is still grateful to Ed Schneider; head coach Cheeks also expressed his welcome to the No. 12 pick, only Billy King is full of selfishness and shrewdness He has an elongated face and looks aloof. When they met for the first time, he and Channing didn't like each other.

Billy King didn't like Channing because he originally wanted to use the 12th pick to win Thaddeus Young, but the boss Schneider suddenly intervened and made a decision on Channing, which made Billy King feel very uncomfortable. Uncomfortable, he thought he was an excellent professional manager of the team, and he didn't choose the player he wanted, so he naturally didn't like Channing.

It's simpler for Channing to dislike Billy King because Billy King doesn't like him.The latter has always had a dark face, especially when he saw Channing sign the rookie contract.

It seems general manager Billy King didn't mean to pick me.But it doesn't matter. In Channing's memory, Billy King is a fool who thinks he's smart. Nothing this guy did is right.

In December last year, the leader of the team, MVP-level Allen Iverson was driven away, and then Chris Webber was bought out to start rebuilding, and Iguodala, who was not suitable to be the boss at all, was selected as the leader. The hopes of the 12ers were completely ruined, and the 76ers were brought down from the middle reaches of the Eastern Conference and the first round of the playoffs to the point where they did not make the playoffs every year. After getting Simmons and Embiid in the late draft, it was barely seen the dawn.

After tossing and crossing the 76ers, Billy King went to the Nets to continue to work. In 2011, the new big boss of the Nets, Prokokhorov, caught his eye and asked Billy King to go to the Nets to be his crouching dragon and phoenix. Young, and then Billy King showed his talents. First, he recruited the old Deron as the core, and then helped the Eagles eat Joe Johnson's huge garbage contract. The general manager of the Eagles called Billy King a good person; Not enough, Billy King also wanted to form a super team to fight against the Heat, and even got old Pierce, Garnett and Terry who couldn't run, a bunch of veterans happily retired with big contracts in the Nets, and even lost money. It can be said that he killed the Nets by himself.It wasn't until 2016 that the Nets boss couldn't bear to fire him.

For more than ten years in the world, all he does is help others and poach his own corners. For other teams, such a general manager is simply a good man and a bodhisattva, but for his own team, then There are only two possibilities: either stupid or bad.

Channing didn't think Billy King was bad.

But it doesn't matter, the boss Schneider seems to like me a lot, that's enough!
Officially signed the rookie contract, Channing is happy, the rookie contract is 2+1+1, the first two years are directly signed and cannot be changed, the next two years are team options, after the end of the rookie year, according to Channing's performance , The 76ers will decide whether to sign in the third year, and after the end of the second year, the team will decide whether to sign in the fourth year, that's it.

To put it simply, the iron rice bowl in the first two years is guaranteed. Even if you are traded out, you will definitely get the money. Whether the subsequent contract is big or not depends on your performance.

As the No. 12 pick, Channing's first-year contract salary is $200 million. The No. 6 pick, Ah Lian, just signed a rookie contract with a first-year salary of $277 million, which is much higher than Channing.

"It's already quite a lot, 200 million US dollars, more than 1000 million yuan!" Money fan Xiaohua's eyes are full of dollars, and that expression is like a beckoning cat.

After signing the contract, Chen Ning didn't have time to meet his future teammates one by one. He was rushing to Las Vegas. The Chinese national team was waiting for him to play in the next summer league.

Although he broke into the NBA with an upset, at the national team level, Chan Ning has just officially entered the list of inspections. Whether he can squeeze into the BJ Olympic lineup next year is still unknown.

……

Training gym in Las Vegas.

"Run! Run!"

Yunus roared, with obvious dissatisfaction in his tone.

"Don't try to be lazy, the team I lead doesn't welcome lazy people!"

As the head coach of the Chinese national team, Jonas is known for his straightforward and stubborn personality. This famous basketball coach from Lithuania wants to put his personal mark on the Chinese men's basketball team.

Confrontation, defense, tenacity, and biting are the basketball philosophy of Jonas.

However, the team in front of him was obviously far from what he wanted.

High-intensity sprint and switchback run!be quick!Do your best!Be like a desperate mad dog!
The players have begun to lose track of the rhythm.

Liu Xiaoyu, who seems to have a small frame and doesn’t look like a professional basketball player at all, is barely able to run. Zhang Songtao, a big tree with a high body fat percentage, is out of breath and can’t keep up with the team at all. Even the young Yi Jianlian was sweating profusely and panting heavily.

Jonas shook his head helplessly. Insufficient physical strength is a common problem of Chinese basketball players. The root cause lies in the daily training. The amount of training is not large enough, the quality of training is not high enough, and many basic subjects are not done well in training. Compared with European basketball, The basic training of Chinese basketball is too far behind. After practicing for a while, I can't keep up.

"Stop, rest for 10 minutes."

The team members were all pardoned, one by one put their hands on their knees, and even fell limp on the ground. They were really tired just now, and they had to take a good breath.Yunus looked around, and unexpectedly found that there was a person who was not resting, and was even practicing dribbling and running. He looked very relaxed and did not show any fatigue.

"Qian, aren't you tired?" It turned out to be him, the No. 12 rookie in the NBA this year.

Qian Ning looked relaxed: "Small, what's the point of this?"

Compared with the brutal training he went through to hit the NBA, these are simply child's play.

"Okay, not bad." Yunus nodded.

"Since the newly joined guy said so, all of them are there, let's run another fifteen laps!"

"what?"

Everyone fell down, and everyone cast kind and loving eyes on Qian Ning.
