NBA: Fusion of two talents to dominate the entire league

The New Jersey Nets, after two losses in the finals,

retained all the players this season and even recruited Alonzo Mourning, a lone testicle warrior.

When everyone thought the team had found the last piece of the puzzle,

Alonzo Mourning was ruled out for the season due to kidney disease.

The team's performance declined instead of improving.

This year, they were eliminated in the second round early. Unexpectedly, the core of the team, Jason Kidd, could no longer sit still.

As a point guard ranked in the history of the league, at the age of 31, he has reached the end of his career.

It is said that point guards become more powerful as they get older. The older they get, the more urgent they are for the championship.

Every year of failure means a little loss of hope for the championship. He doesn't want to be like Payton when he is old and can only go to a strong team to hug thighs and get a championship.

As a boss with aspirations, he just signed a big contract and began to put pressure on the team's top management, asking the team to strengthen the lineup.

Kidd was really fed up with losing in the playoffs every year. He had waited too long for the long-awaited championship.

The New Jersey Nets are under great pressure now, and the team's lineup is also among the top few in the league.

The current salary cap has limited room for team reinforcement. If they want to change, they can only go the way of trading.

Team manager Droshon frowned in the office.

In theory, Kidd can match almost any lineup.

But this summer, there are really few capable free agents.

The playoffs of strong teams are still going on. After contacting several teams, the trading plan discussed is almost impossible to reach.

Either sell a junk contract to himself, or open a big mouth and directly point the trading spearhead at Kidd, and Droshon hung up the phone directly.

He lit up a cigarette for the first time in the office and took a big puff.

Until his eyes were attracted by the draft report on the table.

This player named Roy is from China. His fame has spread all over North America in recent times.

Originally, according to the record, the Nets could only get the draft pick at the end of the first round.

And Roy's situation is obviously that he will be selected by other teams in the lottery zone, which basically has nothing to do with the Nets.

Drothorne has heard of Roy's name, but he has never seen Roy's game.

This document was brought to him by the team's deputy manager Kyle Jacob in the morning.

There is a video tape of Roy's information and his various physical test data.

After looking through Roy's physical test data and the reports of various scouts,

Drothorne finally aroused his interest in Roy, but he still murmured in his heart that even the No. 1 pick has a fake like Kwame Brown in front. Doesn't Kwame Brown's physical test data have excellent performance?

He believed in Jacob. The two had been partners for many years. Jacob would not have brought this report without some outstanding performance and potential.

He picked up the videotape and muttered: Let's see what the little guy from China has that deserves the praise of Jacob, a rigorous guy.

The video recorded Roy's training footage. He looked slender but could make incredible movements in training.

The other video was the NCAA finals between USC and Duke.

After watching the first training footage, Droshon had already put out his cigarette. When the game video entered the second half, he almost stood to watch it all the way.

His heart was thumping. He felt that he saw one of the cornerstones of the league's future.

Just like when the Magic met the Sharks and the Spurs saw Daidai,

With a sense of urgency in his heart, he picked up the phone again, this time calling the deputy manager Jacob.

…

The NCAA has entered a long period of inactivity, and USC will soon welcome its summer vacation.

But all this has little to do with Roy. In addition to daily courses,

Roy devotes all his spare time to training.

When he asked his agent about professional strength trainers, Fegan was still puzzled until Roy told him a series of training plans.

Even Fegan, who has been in the NBA for many years, felt incredible.

It was only the third day of the holiday, and everyone was still looking for fun and enjoying the fruits of victory.

As the biggest contributor, Roy has already started his training plan.

Based on this point, he has a new look at this player from China. Such a player cannot be unknown in the NBA.

Dan Fegan used his network to find a professional trainer in the circle. The two quickly reached an agreement and began to formulate a training plan.

On the court,

Roy started the summer special training with McGinnis, who was full of resentment.

Time flies. A week later,

Today Roy suspended training.

USCA Rolls-Royce Phantom slowly drove into the school gate.

The unique front logo attracted the attention of passers-by.

McInnis opened the door and walked into Roy's apartment.

During this period, he and Roy were together except for sleeping. For the so-called summer special training, McInnis, who has Latin ancestry, complained to Roy that he had become darker.

"Hey, man, there is no training today. I will take you out to play. I found a good place to see girls..."

McInnis has the habit of black people. Even if no one pays attention to him, he can still talk all morning.

"You know, brother, I just saw a super handsome Rolls-Royce Phantom downstairs. There was a driver wearing sunglasses inside. He looked like a stranger who didn't want to get close. I didn't dare to get close to it to feel it carefully."

At this time, Roy came out of the bedroom in a neat suit.

"What happened, Roy, are you going to be a waiter today?" McInnis looked questioning.

"I was invited by Nike to visit its headquarters in Portland today to discuss the shoe contract. You can take care of lunch by yourself. I should be back tomorrow." Roy said to McGinnis calmly.

McGinnis suddenly thought of something: "The Rolls-Royce Phantom downstairs..."

"If I'm not mistaken, it was used by Nike to take me to the airport. You know their company is very big. The private jet at the airport has been arranged for me. There is also a young flight attendant with 110 cm long legs and black stockings on the crew."

Roy deliberately touched McGinnis's nerves when he said this.

McGinnis opened his mouth wide. He was in a complicated mood. He was afraid that his brother would suffer, and he was also afraid that his brother would drive a Land Rover.

In just a few days, he could feel that Roy's class had completed the leap.

A large group of students who had no classes today gathered around the Rolls-Royce Phantom downstairs.

Everyone was guessing who the car was waiting for.

USC and Hollywood have a close relationship, and countless talents go to Hollywood for employment every year.

Some people have maliciously speculated whether a female classmate has hooked up with a senior executive of a film company.

Until the well-dressed Roy got into the car in the surprised eyes of everyone,

After the driver confirmed Roy's identity, the car slowly left the apartment, leaving a group of people staring at the car in the distance in a daze.

In Portland, Roy visited Nike's headquarters, had a dinner at a five-star hotel, and had a good sleep in the presidential suite.

The next morning, Roy met Nike's deputy manager. After a brief negotiation, the other party offered a 7-year, 40 million contract.

Roy had a brief exchange with Feigen, who was traveling with him, and got up and left with Feigen.

This offer is far from what Roy expected, and it is as funny as the 4-year 1.6 million offer to Yao Ming.

You should know that Nike offered James a 7-year 90 million last year.

Roy believes that his current value is not as good as the first two, but his potential is no worse than these two.

He has the huge Chinese market behind him.

In Roy's opinion, Nike, which is arrogant, has not learned the lesson from Yao Ming.

After Yao Ming was rejected for 4-year 1.6 million, Reebok offered a 7-year 50 million contract and was about to sign it.

When Nike learned of this situation, it urgently increased the price to 120 million for 7 years, but the 4-year 1.6 million was too insulting, and Yao Ming finally rejected it.

Nike's old habit of lowering prices needs to be stimulated by someone.

Roy flew to Reebok's headquarters in Massachusetts on a private plane arranged by Reebok that day.

When doing business, you must not hang yourself on a tree. Only competition can make good business.

Sure enough, after negotiation, the Reebok team offered a 7-year, 65 million contract.

It was more than half higher than Nike, which was full of sincerity. Roy felt that there should be room for improvement.

Reebok gave him 3 days to consider.

Roy did not wait at Reebok headquarters, but flew back to Los Angeles.

Time passed day by day. As an agent, Feigen was a little anxious to persuade Roy to accept Reebok's contract.

Roy said calmly, don't be anxious and let the bullet fly for a while.

Sure enough, in the evening of the third day, the two companies gave new offers respectively.

Reebok gritted its teeth and offered the largest contract in the company's history of 7 years and 80 million.

Nike, which regretted missing Yao Ming for 2 years, finally couldn't sit still. The company manager called Roy personally and offered a 7-year, 100 million high-priced contract.

Of course, such a high offer has additional conditions. 75 million is a normal contract, and the other 25 million are all incentive clauses.

For example, if you enter theIf he can be selected into the All-NBA Team three times and win the MVP in seven years, then this contract will be converted into a full 100 million contract.

Agent Fegan was very happy. Even if Roy did not play in the NBA, he would have become one of the most valuable players in Fegan's hands.

Roy agreed to the Nike contract.

Fegan also started to work on Roy's press conference for the election. He was confident that this joint press conference with Nike would be unprecedented!
