NBA: This flower path is a bit strong.

Four hours later, the draft, including the press interviews after the meeting, was completely over.

Only the core duo of the University of Arizona Wildcats remained in the originally bustling draft hall!

Das and Hanamichi looked at each other, and finally it was agent Simmons who said:

"Well, let's not leave tonight!"

"Just received a call from Raptors general manager Masai Ujiri, who has booked a hotel for us."

"I'll take you to the Rainbow Stadium to sign the contract tomorrow."

The two nodded.

At this point, Hanamichi started his official journey in the NBA.

After breakfast the next day, agent Simmons drove Hanamichi and Das to the Rainbow Stadium.

It is worth mentioning that Hua Dao did not have time to take a driver's license test due to time constraints.

Dasi didn't go to school simply because he didn't have enough money to buy a car.

"When I have money, the first thing I will do is to get a driver's license and buy a Mercedes-Benz SLR!"

Das' eyes sparkled as he stared at Simmons' car the entire time.

Hanamichi reminded:

"Dude, I have to remind you that the league has limited rookie contracts this year."

"According to our ranking, our first year's after-tax salary might not even be enough to buy that luxury car!"

"Damn Glenn Robinson, it's all his fault for affecting our financial prospects!"

Dasi said, cursing.

Glenn Robinson was the No. 1994 pick last year (), but he was reluctant to sign a contract and asked for an exorbitant price.

He eventually signed an unprecedented rookie contract with the Bucks - 10 years and $6800 million.

This accelerated the introduction of the NBA's first-round draft pick salary cap regulations.

It doesn't matter to Hanamichi. After all, he has the advantage of foresight, so he must be better than ordinary people in financial management ability!

Plus, he’s confident that he can play to his strengths and get a big contract!

Compared with the amount of bonus in the contract, he cares more about the playing time!

Once again stepping into the Rainbow Gymnasium, previously as a guest, but this time I will become the "host" of this gymnasium.

Huadao and Dasi were much more casual, looking around here and there!

However, he found that the team's general manager Masai Ujiri and head coach Landon Malone were already waiting at the stadium entrance.

"Oh, look what I found ~ the future of the Raptors is coming to me!"

"Welcome~ Damon, Flower!"

"How does it feel to come to the Rainbow Sports Arena for the second time?"

Don't hit a smiling person, Hua Dao also joined the greeting team:

"Great! I can't wait to practice in the gym as a player!"

"Haha... Flower and Damon! Players like you who love training are exactly the type that Coach Malone likes! Right~ man!"

Landon Malone smiled and said:

"Flower and Damon! Welcome to the Raptors family!"

"Believe me, if nothing unexpected happens, you will be more than just players in the next four years."

"After signing this contract, you will practice in this gym as the Raptors' core players!"

"The team will clear all obstacles for you. You two are the cornerstones of the team in the future!"

The two of them were carried in a fancy sedan and soon arrived at the general manager's office.

After confirming that the contract was correct, Hua Dao and Da Si signed their names and became millionaires~

Of course, this was a few months later!

As a rookie contract, Hanamichi can earn a total of 3 million US dollars in 405 years.

The first year is $145 million, the second year is $165 million, the third year is $195 million, and the fourth year is a team option.

The same goes for Das, the salary difference between the two is less than $30.

After the contract was signed, Coach Ma Long said earnestly:

"According to the contract, at the beginning of the new season, I will give you two core players enough playing time, with an average of no less than 30 minutes! You must perform well."

Huamichi understood the meaning of this sentence, which actually meant that the core position and starting position of the team would be truly handed over to him and Das.

So he responded solemnly:

"Don't worry, coach! Damon and I are not the kind of people who only know how to eat and not work. We will definitely not let you down!"

Hearing Hua Dao's promise, Coach Ma Long was very pleased. He picked up the juice and congratulated:

"Let's do a great job in the new season! Cheers~"

"Cheers! x3"

Back at the hotel, Hanamichi couldn't wait to chat with Haruko, who was thousands of miles away, and shared the good news of the contract:

"Haruko~ I have successfully entered the NBA!"

"What? The United States? No, no, no, I'm in Canada now~"

"Well! According to the agreement, I will ask my agent to arrange for you and Yohei to go to school in Toronto together~"

"Money? That's not a problem at all! I'm a millionaire now!"

……

A few days after signing the contract, under the arrangement of the Raptors management, Hanamichi and Das took the final photos together.

They also participated in a series of promotional activities, leaving their own mark on the city of Toronto!

It was not until July that Haruko Akagi, Yohei Mito, Nozomi Takamiya, Ohkusuo, and Chuichiro Noma followed Lawrence to this strange city in Canada for the first time.

The first time I saw the huge promotional poster of Hanamichi, I was shocked!

[Sakuragi Army] I never thought that the best friend who used to play and fight together and skip classes together would become so famous now!

Become the "hero" of this city!

In their eyes, the fact that the entire city was covered with the logo of Ikebana meant that he had become the representative hero of the city!

Haruko Akagi also didn't expect that the basketball player she had recommended would join the Shohoku basketball team.

Now he has become a world-famous basketball player!

Looking at the tall red-haired man who came to pick them up, he rushed up and hugged everyone after seeing them, without any hesitation.

Haruko and the Sakuragi Army feel that the story between them is not only in the past, but also in the future!

"How is it? My makeup photo looks cool, right?"

In the car, Hanamichi took out a smaller version of her makeup photo, which was exactly the same as the large poster near the airport, and showed it off in the car.

In the photo, Hanamichi has red hair and is wearing a white No. 10 jersey with red trim and black lettering.

He and Das, who was wearing the No. 20 jersey, stood back to back with their arms around each other, looking ahead disdainfully.

Gao Gong and others immediately took the photos and started to comment on them, and several of them soon started to play around.

Haruko and Yohei smiled at each other ~ feeling that the more than a year of estrangement they had worried about before was completely unnecessary!

Eventually, Haruko and Yohei were placed at York University in Toronto to study business administration.

According to Hanamichi's plan, most of the money earned from endorsements, advertising and other activities in the future will be given to these two people to manage.

Of course, the specific investment for large projects still has the final say by Mr. Hua Dao Zhang!

After all, with the advantage of memories from his past life, Hua Dao is confident that he will never be like some black stars who go bankrupt after retirement!

As for Takamiya, Ohnan, and Noma.

Following the wishes of the three, Huadao let them start their own sneaker business together with the store manager with a mustache.

Yes, after signing with the Raptors, Hanamichi signed a sky-high contract of 7 years and 1 million US dollars with Nike under Simmons' iron-mouthed lobbying!

(Yao Yao's contract was $4 million for 160 years, and later it was increased to $7 million for 1.2 years. In fact, Nike attaches great importance to the flower planting market, but it was too insincere in the contract pricing! As a result, Yao Ming chose Reebok.)

Simmons, the elite agent who is bound to the system, and Hanamichi, who has the "prophet" perspective, directly tested Nike's bottom line.

The reason for finally choosing Nike was because in later generations, when Hanamichi came through, this brand of sneakers was still standing firm in the sports world!

Hanamichi, who signed a huge sneaker contract, can be said to be very wealthy.

I took Dasi to buy two private villas in a villa area 10 minutes away from Tianhong Gymnasium!

It’s the custom of flower growers to buy houses if they have money!

Besides, as the population grows in the future, the value of houses will increase!

Even if he doesn't end his career in Toronto in the future, it can still be considered an investment.

After all, Toronto is also a very famous international metropolis with a prosperous economy. It is also one of the world's financial centers, so there is no need to worry about not being able to sell houses!

……

On the other side of the ocean, after more than a month of fermentation, the news that a player from a Chinese nationality was selected by the Raptors with the sixth pick officially spread throughout that land.

Along with the news of the huge sneaker contract, the people from the Basketball Association discovered that... this player was not managed within the system!

Based on the principle of not making "exceptions", a team of "interview naturalization" quietly set sail for Toronto!
