NBA backer king

Chapter 16 The Bull Wants To Dig

At this time, the Magic kicked off and head coach Matt Guocas called a timeout.

"Shaq, take a break." After the players came down, he said to O'Neal.

O'Neal panted and sat on the bench, touched his undulating chest, feeling that a tractor had run over it just now.

The excitement of just smashing the backboard has completely disappeared, leaving only anger and some daze.

He didn't expect to be dunked by that perverted Chinese coolie today, which would be an absolute humiliation to him.

He didn't admit to Barkley's dunk before, but this time, he didn't have any reason to deny it.

Even, this dunk was more humiliating than the first time he was dunked by Derek Foreman, because it was dunked in a confrontational defeat, and Foreman dunked him without a confrontation.

"Damn it!"

His pair of big hands twisted violently, and with a whimper, the white towel was torn in half by him.

On the other side, Wang Tiejun returned to the bench with his head held high and his chest proud, like a general returning to court.

"Boss, are you serious, a full guarantee contract?" He asked again.

"Yes, with a fully guaranteed contract, you have to stay with the Suns, stay with us in Phoenix."

Colangelo patted Comrade Wang's arm with a smile, nodded and said, "Don't worry, old K, I will give you a contract that satisfies you."

"Will it exceed the basic salary?"

Excited Comrade Wang asked very ignorantly.

"Basic salary?"

The scene was too noisy, and Colangelo couldn't hear clearly. He thought that Lao Wang wanted a basic salary, so he quickly shook his head and said, "Of course not."

"No, that's fine."

Lao Wang nodded in disappointment, but soon he became excited again, because the basic salary is not bad, 14 US dollars a year, worth 110 million RMB, and the annual salary is one million, he is going to get rich.

"It would be great if I could evade taxes. Being an illegal worker also has the benefits of being an illegal worker. You don't have to pay taxes." Thinking of paying a lot of taxes, not only his liver hurts, but his heart hurts, and his whole body hurts.

Scratching his head, Colangelo began to think about what kind of contract he should give Wang Tiejun?

The No. 4 pick O'Neal's contract in the Magic is $1740 million in four years, the No. 4 pick Mourning is $1400 million in four years, and the No. 4 pick Laettner is $1200 million in four years. With the strength and potential shown by Wang Tiejun, of course, he can't get a contract of this level.

However, he definitely can't get a bad contract, because the contract is too bad. Once Wang Tiejun plays out in the future, he won't be able to keep him. No one wants to play for a stingy boss, especially a capable player.

He must give a contract that can match Wang Tiejun's status, so now he has to re-evaluate Wang Tiejun's potential.

The head coach Paul Westphal came over and whispered: "Boss, you won't really only give him a basic salary, will you? What if other teams offer a high salary?
This possibility exists. For example, the Bulls, like us, have never had a good center, and he may be poached in a blink of an eye. "

Colangelo was taken aback, and said in surprise: "Paul, do you think I'm so stingy? I admit that I underestimated him before, but I won't now."

"That's good, we need him."

Paul Westphal said excitedly: "If we can strengthen the fifth position, our lineup will be very strong, and we can even hit the championship."

"Yes Yes……"

Colangelo also nodded excitedly and said, "Don't worry, I won't let him be poached. I picked him up from the street, and he trusts me very much."

This game was broadcast live across the United States by ABC TV station, and the ratings were very good, especially after O'Neal smashed the backboard, the ratings rose sharply. Many professionals were watching this game, and Bulls general manager Jerry Krause was one of them.

Under the leadership of Jordan, the Bulls have completed two consecutive championships, and Dynasty Albert has reached the most critical moment of the third consecutive championship.

But the Bulls' lineup is flawed. Bit Carterwhite, who has served as the main center for five consecutive seasons, is 35 years old and has entered the end of his career. This season, his state continued to decline. He only scored 5.6 points and 3.7 rebounds.

He watched the No. [-] pick Shaquille O'Neal's astonishing performance on both ends of the offense and defense, and he salivated, especially the ball that smashed the backboard. He wanted to get into the TV and drag O'Neal out of it.

It's just that he knows that the Bulls can't have O'Neal. The Magic are not stupid enough to trade a future super center, and he doesn't have enough bargaining chips to trade unless he trades for Jordan, so he can only be greedy.

"what?"

At this moment, he saw that the Chinese rookie, who was called a perverted coolie by the media, actually beat O'Neal in a low-post confrontation, and then dunked O'Neal head-on.

Although Wang Tiejun dunked super center Ewing the day before yesterday, he thought that dunk was a bit lucky. It was a second attack. Ewing was not prepared enough, so he didn't pay attention to it.

But this time O'Neal was dunked, it was a real low-post crushing push to the basket, without any tricks.

"how can that be?"

"Jerry, what's up?"

He jumped up from the sofa, startling the wife next to him.

"Sorry honey, I'm fine."

He hurried to the side, grabbed the receiver and dialed his assistant Rose Robert.

"Hello..."

"Ross, check the next away game of the Suns and book a ticket for me. I want to go there tomorrow." He said quickly as soon as the phone was connected.

"The next away game? Mr. Claus, I understand what you mean. I'm also watching this game. Do you want that Chinese?"

Ross on the opposite side reacted quickly and said immediately.

"It's good for you to understand that Colangelo only gave him a short contract, which means that the Suns don't value him, and only intend to let him stand up. We have a chance to poach him."

Klaus said excitedly.

Rose was silent for a while, and reminded: "Sir, in this attack just now, he has shown his potential in low-post offense. Do you think the Suns will not change their attitude? The Suns may be able to sign him with only a basic salary. Even if you get on the plane now, you won't be able to catch up."

"Oops!"

Gordon rang in Klaus' heart.

At this time Rose said again: "But we still have a chance."

"Say it quickly." Klaus cheered up and hurriedly urged.

"Sir, as far as I know, we have a scout in Orlando, we can let him contact that Chinese pervert, ah no, it's a Chinese player. But, sir, you have to give us our conditions." Rose said.

"Great!"

Jerry Krause said excitedly: "You tell our scouts that we can offer a contract for this year's lottery show. The starting salary for the first year is 80 US dollars. My bottom line is 100 million, and the maximum cannot exceed 120 million US dollars. The contract period cannot be lower than 4 years. In addition, the annual contract increase will not be less than 20%."

"OK, I understand. I'll contact them right away. In addition, I will immediately book a ticket to Philadelphia as soon as possible. Their next away game is there." Ross laughed.

At the scene of the game, the timeout ended, but O'Neal did not play again, and the Suns also let Wang Tiejun sit on the bench. The two did not get up again until the end of the first quarter.

At this time, in the east stand, the pager on the waist of a middle-aged black man suddenly rang, accompanied by vibrations.

"Call back quickly, Assistant General Manager Ross."

After looking at it, he quickly got up and left the stands, found a payphone in the gymnasium, and called Rose.
