Chapter 119: McMillan

It wasn't until she came to Houston that Chamberlain knew why Rina was always in such a hurry when she went to San Antonio, it turned out that she actually gave up her professional fashion design for herself, changed to nutrition, and only took this year to complete the credits and apply for early graduation!

This is a girl who doesn't have much ideals, because of the bad family environment, being a qualified housewife and having a harmonious family is her biggest ideal, which is very incredible for Chamberlain, who has experienced the era of savage girlfriends. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

ClubQuartersinHouston Hotel Chamberlain didn't know that he had to go around twice to find it after arriving at the Toyota Center. At the door of this hotel, sure enough, there was a slightly chubby middle-aged black man in his 40s looking back and forth, although Chamberlain only had a faint impression of him, but he could already be sure that this was the McMillan he was looking for.

"Hello, Mr. McMillan, I've kept you waiting. ”

Chamberlain stopped the car and walked straight up to the man.

"Houston has a beautiful night view, and admiring him doesn't make me feel bored, but it's not a good place to talk, so let's go inside. ”

After seeing Chamberlain, McMillan greeted him warmly.

Nate McMillan is not a household name, but in Seattle, he has the nickname "Mr. Sonic".

He has been playing for Seattle since he was drafted by Seattle in '86. As a player, he set a record of 25 assists per game, captained the SuperSonics for many years, was named to the defensive second team twice, and Seattle even retired him as the No. 10 player. When he retired, he worked as an assistant coach for the SuperSonics for another 3 years. However, he only officially started coaching the team in 01, and he has not achieved any commendable results until now!

"Please sit down, do you want something to drink?"

McMillan brought Chamberlain into the room he was staying in and invited Chamberlain to sit down!

"Gatorade, thank you. ”

"You came to Houston to practice center skills for Olajuwon, didn't you?"

MacMillan handed the drink to Chamberlain's hand and sat down across from him!

"Yes, sir, Mr. Olajuwon has been of great help to me. ”

"That's a great center! You can call me Nate, why don't you find an agent who can help you with a lot of things, like contract extensions, advertising?"

It's not a day or two since McMillan was looking for Chamberlain!

"I want to spend more time on improving my skills when I'm younger, and I can renew my contract. ”

"You are a young man who is destined to succeed because you work harder than everyone else. ”

A coach always likes players with potential, and if there is potential and hard work, it will be even more perfect!

"Thanks, the SuperSonics are a great team and I'm a Ray fan. ”

Whether it's sincere or fake, in the face of other people's praise, it's like a debt that you always have to pay back!

"Okay then, let's get down to business, you should know that I'm here to invite you to join the SuperSonics, and we really need a center like you to guard our box. "Thank you, it's a great honor to have you invited. ”

With a personal invitation from a team's head coach, Chamberlain knew that his main force was basically certain, and that his place in the team would be very important. Because for things like signing players, the coach doesn't interfere, they just need to tell the team's management what players they want.

"This is a contract, you can take a closer look at it, maybe find a professional to help you analyze it. There's no rush, I'll stay in Houston for two days. With that, McMillan handed over a contract to Chamberlain!

Chamberlain received it and took a cursory look at it, this is a 5-year contract, that is, 4+1, and the last year is a player option. 43 million in 5 years, the salary is already the fattest of all the invitations he has received. For the Seattle team, being able to get their management to come up with such a contract shows how hard McMillan has worked!

"For a rookie like me, I'm grateful that you can bring me such a contract, but unfortunately I don't want to sign a long-term contract. ”

Chamberlain was very impressed that McMillan could offer such a contract, but he still refused.

"You're such a special young man, there are so many people here who are struggling for a long contract, and you chose to refuse. But I understand your thoughts, ambition is a good friend, and I hope they will always be with you. So how about three years?"

Chamberlain's words, McMillan was not so unexpected. From the fact that Chamberlain gave up looking for an agent who could bring him huge economic benefits in order to spend more time on practice, he realized the huge ambition contained in Chamberlain's heart.

"One year, I just want a one-year contract, I'm sorry for the rest. ”

Without hiding it, Chamberlain said his plan happily!

"Well, I guess I'll have to talk to the manager of the team and let's talk about that tomorrow. It's this time, and it won't delay your training. ”

Chamberlain's stubbornness did not make McMillan give up.

"Thank you so much for your understanding, you are a kind coach and I can't wait to play for you, Mr. Coach. ”

McMillan's open-mindedness made Chamberlain look forward to the yet-to-be-confirmed trip to Seattle.

"Haha, then I hope that tomorrow's meeting can give us a satisfactory answer. ”

Clearly, McMillan was very pleased with Oxlade-Chamberlain's loyalty, and in fact he had been watching Chamberlain for a long time, and he was very sure that this would be a great help to their squad before he returned.

"Then I'll take my leave, Mike. ”

"Goodbye and have a nice evening. ”

After saying goodbye to each other and leaving ClubQuartersin Houston, Chamberlain did not stop outside and drove back to Yao Ming's villa.

When he got home, Rina hadn't slept yet, and was sitting in front of the TV waiting for him to come back.

Well, a nutritious meal must be eaten, even if it is made worse by reheating it in the first place!

A relationship, which needs to be cherished by both parties!
