got the answer he wanted, and Lamar handed over the rest to Darrell Morey to deal with.

Although Darrell is still a young general manager, he is still very good at negotiation. In fact, the Basketball Association still has a lot of concerns about this cooperation with the Knicks.

After all, there are big differences between Chinese and American cultures, and the Knicks and the Basketball Association have different positions. The Knicks are commercial and cooperate solely to gain profits, while the Basketball Association is politically charged and has to consider political influence as well as interests.

Wang Zhizhi's incident has sounded the alarm for the Basketball Association, and the Basketball Association is now beginning to consider reflecting on whether its conditions for treating NBA players are appropriate.

Of course, the Basketball Association also has its own considerations about whether to revoke the internal ban on Wang Zhizhi's document. Although it is said to be an internal blockade, there is no impermeable wall in the world.

Domestic fans still have to know sooner or later, Wang Zhizhi, as the first person in China to go to the NBA, still has a certain influence among fans.

In addition, the results of the Chinese team in this year's World Championships are not very ideal, if fans know the reason why Wang Zhizhi did not appear on the court, they will inevitably use this incident to attack the Basketball Association.

In order to prevent such a thing from happening, the Basketball Association finally revoked the ban on Wang Zhizhi, but the punishment of the troops is still there, which can be regarded as a warning to Wang Zhizhi for disobedience.

But when this matter is actually put on the negotiating table, it is still not so easy to solve. The key is that the Basketball Association is a bit of a cup, and at the same time, it is hoped that Wang Zhizhi will pay a high proportion of training fees, and at the same time, it can only be said that it is seconded, so that Wang Zhizhi can be recalled to play for the country at any time in the future.

After three days of negotiations, the matter was finally settled. 30% of the training fee, Wang Zhizhi signed a contract with the Knicks for 2 years, $1.12 million per year.

The Knicks' trip to Asia began on the day when the two sides reached the goal of cooperation, and the signing of Wang Zhizhi and New York Nidians was officially announced at this time.

For this trip to Asia, the Knicks have taken great pains, and the management of the Knicks has long considered holding the signing news and press conference of Wang Zhizhi in China.

Sure enough, this move of the Knicks has achieved miraculous results and has attracted great attention from Chinese fans. Although the most concerned figure of Chinese fans has now become the champion drug name of Houston, Wang Zhizhi still occupies a very important position in the eyes of many Chinese fans.

After all, as the former standard-bearer of Chinese basketball and the first person in Asia, Wang Zhizhi has also brought them countless honors and happiness. Now that Wang Zhizhi has signed with the New York Knicks, the favorite to win the championship, fans are naturally jubilant.

At the request of the Chinese Basketball Association, the official signing ceremony of the cooperation between the two sides will also be held together with Wang Zhizhi's signing conference.

Lamar did not attend, with Darrell Morey and Van Gundy serving as plenipotentiaries on the Knicks' side. ad_250_left();

Van Gundy first welcomed Wang Zhizhi on behalf of the team and spoke highly of Wang Zhizhi. Anyway, the Chinese media and fans like to listen to this kind of talk, and it doesn't cost money, of course he is willing to do a favor.

Then Darrell Morey announced that the Chinese Basketball Association will carry out a series of cooperation with the Knicks in the future:

1. Every year, a certain percentage of young players from China will go to New York to participate in basketball summer camps.

2. Starting next year, the Chinese national team will play a friendly match with the Knicks every year.

3. When preparing for the Olympic Games, the Knicks also have to do free sparring for the Chinese national team.

4. The Chinese Basketball Association officially selected excellent CBA head coaches and related staff to study and exchange with the Knicks.

In short, there are many clauses in Darrell Morey's opinion, and the Knicks are acting as the main wrongs, but the benefits are also obvious. At the very least, with the support of the Basketball Association, the Knicks now seem to be more popular than the Houston Rockets, another team participating in the Asian tour.

There are gains and losses, and in general, both sides are still very satisfied with such cooperation, and no one has become the wrongdoer.

Finally, the most exciting moment came, Wang Zhizhi received a Knicks jersey with his name printed on it from Darrell Morey's hand, of course, the number was still vacant, which he would have to choose after he arrived in New York.

Wang Zhina looked very excited when he took over the team uniform.

When he was swept away by the Dallas Mavericks, he once doubted that he would have a chance to be favored by the NBA team again. With the failure of interviews again and again, Wang Zhizhi was extremely depressed, and just when he was about to die, everything turned around. Not only did he sign with the team, but he also joined the New York Knicks, who are now the favorite to win the NBA. The unhappiness between himself and the Basketball Association was also resolved during this trip to Asia.

Wang Zhizhi first thanked the country's training, the team's training, and the cultivation of the leadership, as if he was reading lines, he could say these words sincerely, but he had to say them.

Then it was time for Wang Zhizhi to play on his own: "I am very grateful for the support of the fans for me in my most difficult time! The Knicks are a strong team and had a very good season last season. I hope I can get my ground in New York and continue to build up and help the team get good results. At the same time, I also hope to make a breakthrough with the national team in the Athens Olympics in the future. ”

The lively signing ceremony is finally over. What made Darrell Morey feel incredible was that the Basketball Association actually gave him the title of a basketball goodwill ambassador. What's even worse is still to come, an innocent little girl came to the stage and wore a red scarf for him.

Lamar couldn't help but laugh in the corner, and Darrell Morey was even more expressionless on stage.

This fat white man is definitely a maggot from the evil capitalist society that keeps gutter oil from head to toe, but he didn't expect the big socialist family to open its arms to accept him, a lost person.

I finally completed all the formalities, and the interactive meeting with the fans also ended with the enthusiasm of the fans. After finishing their trip to Beijing, Lamar and his entourage flew directly to Shanghai to start the second leg of the Knicks' trip to Asia.

"Lamar, if I could, I wouldn't want to deal with these officials anymore, it's too grinding. Even after stepping on the plane to Shanghai, Darrell Morey was still complaining.

In Morey's view, the negotiations could be a stain on his career as general manager. Although the team owner Dolan is optimistic about the cooperation with the Chinese side and will definitely be satisfied with Morey's realization, Darrell Morey himself feels a little aggrieved.

"Alright, Darrell, please let us be quiet for a while, my ears will be annoyed by you all the way. Van Gundy pointed to his ear as he spoke: "Now it's all your complaints." ”

"Okay, Jeff, I apologize, I shouldn't have bothered you menopausal uncle, but what do I do now?" said Darrell Morey, with a sad face.

"I'm in a bad mood right now, don't mess with me! The regular season is about to start, but the real guys are going to be on this damn trip to Asia. Van Gundy was also aroused by Morey's displeasure: "Oh my God! Where does the king still have time to train with us, will he just throw him on the court when the time comes?"

Although Wang Zhizhi, who was sitting next to him, did not speak, a solemn look flashed on his face. He joined the Knicks this time, but he was not willing to be an inconsequential little role guarding the water cooler like the Dallas Mavericks. Although Wang Zhizhi is also self-aware, he also has his own ambitions.

Wang Zhizhi knew that he had missed the run-in period with the team, and he could only wait for the opportunity at the end of the bench, just like when he was in the Mavericks, which was not what he wanted.

Lamar had been paying attention to Wang Zhizhi's expression, and said with a smile: "It's okay, Jeff! Don't we have more than ten days to go? And we still have several sparring partners during this time!"

"Samuel, don't you say?"

"What?" the Haitian, who slept like a dead pig, seemed to hear someone calling to him.

"Time, sparring, Lamar, are you kidding, don't forget, trip to Asia, trip to Asia!"

"I really shouldn't have promised David Stern that old bastard in the first place!"

"Aren't we supposed to train ourselves during the campaign? If that's the case, I think Samuel, they'll be crazy when they know about it. ”

Jeff Van Gundy finally sobered up a little now, looked at Lamar and said, "You mean that we make full use of our free time, at least basic strength and endurance training can still be carried out, after all, the hotel has the training equipment." ”

"That's right, I don't believe we can't find the right field, even though we only have six players in total, but it's okay to talk to each other. At least some of the Knicks' tactics can make Wang Zhizhi familiar with first. After speaking, Lamar looked at Wang Zhizhi again: "Man, I think you must be fine, right?"

Wang Zhizhi had been listening to the conversation between Lamar and Van Gundy, and of course it was too late to be happy that he could get acquainted with the starters as soon as possible, and there was any objection: "I'm happy, I'll do my best!"

Lamar laughed and said, "You should do your best, otherwise you will have to start at the very end of the bench." I hadn't been there, but I knew it was going to be unpleasant. ”

The three of them chatted, and the five-hour journey finally ended, and the plane slowly landed at Pudong Airport.

It may have been known in advance, but the waiting hall of the airport was crowded with fans who had come to greet them.

When Lamar appeared in front of the fans in a casual suit to lead the Knicks' starting five, the hall suddenly burst into cheers. The screams of some female fans in short sleeves made even the glass windows of the hall tremble.
