22. Trial Training After One Month

What surprised Nelson Jr. was not only that Wang Zhi would take the initiative to ask for a new contract under such circumstances, and he was also so confident.

The main problem is that he actually put aside a four-year long-term contract.

Instead ask for a two-year, or even a one-year contract?

And Wang Zhi's annual salary requirement of 3 million US dollars, to be honest, is not much.

Last season, Wang Zhi's contract was $470,000, which is the standard contract for a second-round rookie.

Based on Wang Zhi's flash performance in the playoffs last season and his good performance in the summer league, it is reasonable for the team to raise his salary to $1.5 million.

And it is a four-year long-term contract. For a player like Wang Zhi who is struggling to survive on the edge of the NBA, there is nothing more secure than a long-term contract.

Under such circumstances, he actually sought a one-year or two-year contract?

$3 million vs. $1.5 million, how much?

Indeed, it is twice as much after all.

But is $3 million in 2 years really more profitable than $1.5 million in 4 years?

Regardless of the total salary, the service period is two years less, and it seems to be profitable.

But for marginal players, two years of guarantee are missing.

...

Analyzing it this way, Wang Zhi's choice is indeed somewhat unreasonable.

Of course, after so many years with old Nelson, little Nelson has seen many scenes.

For players like Wang Zhi who confidently ask for a shorter-term contract, he knows their psychology!

Players who ask for a one-year or two-year contract extension are basically confident!

Confidently think that I will definitely achieve results in the past two years, so as to get a bigger contract extension.

...

Nelson Jr. was right, and Wang Zhi clearly thought so.

As for Wang Zhi, he also understands his current situation. Although he has super potential, and is confident that with his current strength, it is no problem to sign a contract worth tens of millions.

But after all, strength needs to be shown. Now I want to "talk to the lion" with the team if I want to pass a trial training, and ask for a contract with an annual salary of 5 million, which is obviously somewhat impossible.

After weighing, Wang Zhi felt that the Mavericks could probably accept the 3 million one-year contract through a trial training.

The reason why he found Little Nelson was out of his trust in this chief assistant.

After all, Nelson Jr. has taken good care of him since he landed in the NBA.

...

Looking at the confident Wang Zhi, although Nelson still had some questions, he just nodded and said, "Okay, Wang Zhi, seeing you are so confident makes me feel more at ease... Try I will arrange the training, you can rest assured that you can prepare, and I will notify you!"

...

After this conversation, little Nelson always had a feeling that Wang Zhi would just soar into the sky!

After all, he brought the Mavericks' overseas scouting team to Longguo to inspect Wang Zhi. He had seen how dominant Wang Zhi was in the CBA!

Although the intensity of the CBA is completely incomparable to that of the NBA, in his opinion, Wang Zhi's strength and potential should not be the same as last season.

Of course, Nelson Jr. is also very aware of the difficulties of international players coming to play in the NBA.

In addition to adapting to the more intense NBA games, language, culture, social circle, locker room... These are all things that international players need to adapt to quickly after they come to the NBA.

These off-court factors seem to have nothing to do with the game, but in fact, if they are not handled properly, they will greatly affect the performance of the players on the court.

In contrast, local players do not have these problems.

This is why only teams like the Mavericks and Spurs in the NBA are willing to try to use international players.

...

Whether it was for his own vision or to make up for what he believed to be "faults", Nelson Jr. found his father, the old Nelson who was the head coach and backstage general manager of the Mavericks at the time, and expressed his views.

Regarding Little Nelson's proposal, although Old Nelson was somewhat skeptical.

But in the end, after listening to the little Nelson's thoughts, the old Nelson agreed to the trial training, and said with a smile: "It turns out that Wang Zhi has encountered such a thing in the past month or so. I have to say, Long The National Basketball Association has gone too far...and Wang Zhi can still maintain such confidence in this situation. It is rare for a 21-year-old kid. To be honest, he was so confusing last season. I still remember his shooting fakes, especially the one where he flew Kevin Garnett away, causing the guy to get 12 stitches on his head... During the trial, let's go quietly together, how can this kid give What surprise do we have in store?"

...

The trial training was not scheduled in the near future, but nearly a month later.

In Nelson Jr.'s words, it is: "Coach Downey has agreed to your trial training request, but he said that in order to allow you to perform better, he will give you a month of preparation time. At that time, don't let everyone Disappointed!"

Wang Zhi certainly does not disappoint.

Of course, there are other reasons for the timing of this trial training arrangement.
