Chapter Forty-Eight: Breaking the Boat

"Boss, are you going to break the boat?" Xiao Cui heard the determination in Jiang Haoran's words, it was a kind of mentality of not entering the NBA and not returning to China, and not hitting the Han River!

", my life would be meaningless if I didn't get into the NBA. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"This trick is good, if you really enter the NBA, it will completely prove yourself in front of the Korean people, and you will slap the sports committee in the face, even the players who want the NBA, the Korean basketball team actually took the initiative to kick it out. "Liu Fangde has already started YY.

"Yes, strength speaks for itself. Xiao Choi touched his chin, if this press conference is really held, then the words of the Sports Commission will seem insignificant, and the public will turn their attention directly to whether Jiang Haoran can become the second player in South Korea to enter the NBA, as long as it is successful, it will be a success!

"Well, let's do it, I'll ask Zhiya and a few of them to contact the students of the news agency, and I'll hold this press conference before I go to the United States for a tryout. Jiang Haoran clenched his fists, since you did this, then don't blame me.

"Okay, I'll go and apply to the school, after all, it's a student going to the United States, and I have to make a leave statement. Liu Fangde said.

"I'm going to hand out flyers. Xiao Cui thought about it, and there was no other way to help except to help with the advertising paper.

South Korea is a capitalist society, freedom of speech, it is not impossible for Jiang Haoran to provoke the government like this, it is just a little difficult, but who are the students of Seoul National University? All of them are the pride of the sky, how can they admit it, Xiao Cui quickly contacted many people to organize this press conference, of course, many of Jiang Haoran's fans want to help Jiang Haoran clear his name......

At this moment, Zhao Xianjing, who had not contacted him for six days, called.

Jiang Haoran hurriedly walked to the lounge of the stadium to answer the call.

"Hey, Jiang Haoran?" Zhao Xianjing said a little depressedly across the Pacific Ocean.

"Well, it's me, Brother Zhao. ”

"It's a little depressing, but it's good to have a chance of life. ”

"What's wrong?"

"I'm sorry, I'm also new to the CAA, I don't know that the NBA teams are all terrible, and I went as a CAA employee and touched the dust. The more Zhao Xianjing talked, the more depressed he became.

Jiang Haoran smelled a hint of something bad, and sure enough, it was not as easy as he imagined.

"The main reason is that after the preseason, the team lineup is basically determined, and there are fewer teams that need to try, maybe these teams need personnel adjustments in the middle of the season. Zhao Xianjing said to himself.

"Brother Zhao, what's wrong?" Jiang Haoran was a little flustered, the three-point marksmanship skill he had just obtained wouldn't even have a chance to show, right?

"Eh, Haoran Xi, I'm a little ashamed, I only helped you connect with a team that is willing to try you out. ”

"It's okay, it's good to have a team!" Jiang Haoran breathed a sigh of relief, no matter which team it is, the water that blows out is spilled, the basketball team basically knows the news that they are going to break into the NBA, if they tell them at this time that they don't even have a chance to try, I'm afraid they will have to be laughed out!

"Since you think so, I'll just say it, I'm not lazy and just found a team. Zhao Xianjing could only smile bitterly, originally thinking that Jiang Haoran could go to five or six teams for trial, and there was always a team that would have a better chance of being favored, but he didn't expect it to end up with one.

Hearing that Jiang Haoran was still so optimistic, he didn't say anything, but he didn't know that there were only a handful of international free agents who entered the NBA through tryouts through the draft channel, and the proportion was also amazingly small, not to mention that only one team could be selected by tryout, so Zhao Xianjing was particularly pessimistic.

The company did not agree with his decision to bring in an Asian player, and he used the company's channels to negotiate with the NBA team under pressure, and it turned out that the greater the ideal, the greater the disappointment.

He told Jiang Haoran without reservation about the negotiation process that he thought he was very smart: "I first made an offer to teams with a total salary of less than the league's salary cap of $84.7 million, such as the Houston Rockets, Washington Wizards, Boston Celtics, Charlotte Hornets and other teams with decent salary space. ”

"Uh......" sounds like Jiang Haoran is either a team or a team in reorganization.

"But these teams all rejected my offer by phone after seeing your player introduction, which means that there is no chance of tryout. Later, I simply applied to all the teams under the salary cap, including the 2014-2015 champion Golden State Warriors, and all of them turned down. ”

"......" Jiang Haoran felt that this was a bit too miserable, but if you think about it carefully, the result should be like this, it doesn't mean that you can get the team's face to face with a strong recommendation from the CAA, and the team's top management doesn't have so much time to pay attention to the small fish and shrimp from all over the world.

"Then Brother Zhao, how did you convince these teams. Jiang Haoran knew that it was impossible for the team above the salary cap to have any more people, and he was already paying the luxury tax, and the lineup was also extremely luxurious.

Jiang Haoran thought that he would not lose much money by joining a player with a base salary, anyway, the salary requirement on his application form was very low and above the base salary.

Sure enough, Zhao Xianjing's words made Jiang Haoran guess: "I didn't ask these teams, but first tried to negotiate with the teams above the salary cap, that is, I submitted your file to all the teams in the league, at that time, I was also blindly unbelieving, I didn't expect the result to be there!"

"What a result!" Jiang Haoran knew that the point was coming, the only team was above the salary cap, that is, there were at least four or more star players with an annual salary of more than 10 million, such as this year's Cavaliers, whose salary reached 110 million US dollars (attributed to the fact that the emperor not only helped himself get a high salary, but also helped his teammates get a high salary), the giants in the team gathered, did he go to the Cavaliers?

Jiang Haoran innocently touched his chin, indeed, his basic salary of 500,000 annual salary is indeed nothing compared to this salary.

"As a result, the San Antonio Spurs wrote back to me, asking you to rush to the Holy City for a trial on the 28th!"

"What!" Jiang Haoran shouted excitedly directly in the lounge.

"Uh...... It should be excited. Zhao Xianjing couldn't be excited, he embarrassed CAA this time, only one team agreed to the trial, you must know that his predecessors are willing to try out at the same time more than a dozen teams.

Then Zhao Xianjing told him a key thing: "The Spurs have a complete lineup this year, and the operation this summer is perfect, and the salary has rarely reached 87,118,521 US dollars, and when I was wondering why they wanted you, the general manager of the Spurs, that is, the best operating businessman in the NBA this year, RC Buford, called me!"

"What did he say?" Jiang Haoran wanted to know.

"He asked me if it was true that he had 100 percent three-point shooting during training as written on the player's file. ”

"What did you answer?"
