Of course, Shangguan Yu knew the reason, but he couldn't tell George. You can't always say that you have a plug-in in your body, and in order to develop the plug-in to the maximum extent, you need enough time to quickly improve your ability. There are some things that can't be known to others yet, but Shangguan Yu knows what he wants.

"You should know what type of player I am, these games, it should be better than you think. But I wasn't sure enough, and I was going to be like that for a long time to come. So I need enough time to adjust, and as long as I perform well enough, then fame and money will follow. ”

George thought for a long time and said, "I know what you mean, and as a good agent, I should respect your spin and help you get the most out of it." ”

This time, Shangguan Yu didn't hit him, but said to him with a smile: "I believe you will do it!" ”

There are many words, but none of them are suitable to say more, after the separation, Shangguan Yu went back to the hotel where he was. It's been almost half a month, and he hasn't helped Shangguan Yu find a house, and George is really a little incompetent. But maybe tomorrow, I will leave the city, even if I rent a house, so what?

Just after 9 o'clock the next morning, I received a call from Morey, and the intention was obvious, that is, to invite Shangguan Yu to have a formal talk. took George into Morey's office, this time Shangguan Yu was more confident, and Morey also greeted him with a smile.

"Yu, your strength is indeed very strong, we underestimated you before, I apologize deeply for this, this is our new contract for you, please take a look!"

Shangguan Yu is very direct, turning to the salary, eight million in two years, which is a good contract, for a rookie. But this is not what Shangguan Yu values the most, and such a salary is obviously not too high for a Chinese player. However, Shangguan Yu did not express any opinion, but handed over the contract to George.

As a professional, he obviously looked more carefully than Shangguan Yu, while Morey had a ride and chatted with Shangguan Yu without a match. It's more about telling Shangguan Yu how suitable the Rockets are for him at the moment and how promising he will be to sign this contract. But what he didn't expect was that these were not things that Shangguan Yu cared about.

After George read the contract, he said to Mr. Morey: "This contract is generally not bad, but my player, Mr. Shangguan Yu, needs a little security. ”

Morey asked, "What is it?" ”

"You have to play at least 20 minutes per game," George said. ”

20 minutes is what Shangguan Yu said, although 15 minutes is enough, but a little more is better, and at the same time, it also leaves a certain step for Morey to go down, so that it will not collapse so quickly. But for those who are not good at negotiating, it is reasonable for the talks to fall apart.

Morey asked, "Is there any room for negotiation?" ”

"It's not a lot of space. ”

Morey continued to ask Shangguan Yu: "Is this your opinion, Yu?" ”

Shangguan Yu nodded.

"Can you give a reason?"

Shangguan Yu said: "I think I deserve such playing time." ”

"Is that about salary?"

Shangguan Yu said: "What do you think? I feel that the height that Yao Ming reached back then, I may be able to reach it in a year, and even if the commercial value is not as high as his, I don't feel much worse, do you know what I mean? ”

"I understand!"

This is the end of the conversation, although not a member of the Rockets, but the training cannot be stopped. But there is not enough equipment, and the training conditions are not very good, but the determination to train cannot be changed. After physical training, it is technical training, and in the end, it is necessary to practice three points, which will become the most important killer feature for Shangguan Yu to gallop in the NBA.

Although he is not a good enough agent right now, the hype of George will still be. Through his own connections, he found an ESPN editor and released the news that Shangguan Yu had left the short-term contract, and at the same time revealed some news, that is, there is a team that has been negotiating with Shangguan Yu.

The report was mixed, but it was enough to put pressure on Morey and fuel it in the domestic news media. The next day, Morey gave an answer, but Shangguan Yu's condition had become 500 million a year, and there was still 15 minutes of playing time. But in the current situation, Morey obviously can't accept it.

It's not that Shangguan Yu is a white-eyed wolf, but business is part of the NBA, where your own value is, you need to get a contract of equal value, or even a better contract, otherwise what is the difference with salted fish.

Three days later, Team Rocket completely said goodbye to Guan Yu.

However, in the past three days, several teams have already contacted George, and they are quite interested in Shangguan Yu. These include the league's powerhouses Spurs, Warriors, etc., as well as the Lakers and Knicks in the middle and lower reaches, but the most qualified are the Celtics from Boston.

To be reasonable, the Celtics' style of play is Shangguan Yu's favorite type. Although the overall rotation of the Spurs is going to a higher level, the Celtics show the iron-blooded defense of basketball to the extreme, and the style of fighting for the ball will make an all-round player like Shangguan Yu like a fish in water.

The Celtics, who are in the rebuilding period, do not have a so-called superstar, nor do they have a strong scoring guard, or a powerful small forward, so Shangguan Yu has enough opportunities to perform.

Shangguan Yu's short performance in the NBA has already impressed the Celtics' top management. Therefore, they all chose to accept the conditions that Shangguan Yu saw, but they gave certain restrictions.

For example, in the first year of the regular season, you can give an average of 15 minutes of playing time per game, but if you don't perform well, then there is no such guarantee after the playoffs. There is also a two-year contract of 9 million US dollars, the actual salary in the first year is only 3 million, and the remaining 1 million depends on the team's record and Shangguan Yu's performance.

And the Celtics have a team option in the second year, which means that if the contract expires in the second year, Shangguan Yu is under the same conditions, the Celtics have the right of first refusal. But none of this matters, as long as Shangguan Yu is famous, all problems will be solved.

The Celtics and Shangguan Yu hit it off, so the negotiations did not encounter any obstacles, and ten days after leaving the NBA arena, Shangguan Yu ushered in a new contract. In Danny Angie's office, Shangguan Yu solemnly signed his name with him.

Danny Angie stood up and shook Shangguan Yu's hand and said, "Welcome to Celtic, you will have a great time here!" ”
