Anxi soon received a call from the Capital Men's Basketball Team, in which they expressed their hope that Anxi would be able to spend a gap in the Capital Men's Basketball Team before signing with the Spurs. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Anxi naturally did not refuse, he made an appointment with the management of the capital men's basketball team, ready to talk about all aspects of the terms.

First of all, the clause of terminating the contract to the NBA at any time must be added, and then, the salary or something has to be discussed; finally, as a player who is about to go to the NBA, Anxi must protect his body, so whether the capital men's basketball team has a plan also needs to be considered.

On July 4, after Anxi returned to China and rested for two days, he received a special phone call, the call was from Yao Ming, who was in the capital at the moment, hoping to meet Anxi.

An Xi readily agreed, and the two made an appointment to meet in Quanjude.

When Anxi brought Ivoclark to Quanjude, in a small private room, Anxi found that not only Yao Ming was the only one, but it seemed that the heads of Yao's team were here, including Zhang Mingji, who was very famous in the American brokerage industry.

Seeing Zhang Mingji, Ivoclark's face turned green, and he thought to himself: Is An ready to replace himself?

"Here, Xiao An, sit here, is this your agent?" Yao Ming saw An Xi walk in, stood up to welcome, and the 2.26 meter tall man immediately put a lot of pressure on An Xi.

"Yes, this is my agent, Yvo Clark. An Xi nodded, and then obeyed Yao Ming's arrangement and sat next to Yao Ming.

"Hello, Mr. Ivo, I'm Yao. Yao Ming shook hands with Ivoclark and beckoned everyone to take their seats.

Several people at the table quickly got into the groove and found a topic to talk about.

"Xiao An, I heard that you played NCAA for 4 years at UConn?" Yao Ming seemed to be very interested in An Xi's NCAA experience, and he couldn't help but inquire.

"yes, I played there for four years, but I was just a role player. An Xi nodded a little embarrassedly.

"Haha, Kangda is not an ordinary university, you have been there for four years, it will definitely help you grow. Yao Ming said with a smile.

For Yao Ming's words, Anxi quite agrees, Kang University four years, his progress must be there, not to mention anything else, at least Anxi's outside single defense has improved significantly, from a defender who only relies on his body to a defender who can also play a little cautious.

"I've heard that Kangda shooters, Ray Allen, Richard Hamilton, and Ben Gordon in recent years, I don't know how Anxi's shooting is?" Zhang Mingji also interjected, and the first sentence mentioned the tradition of Kangda -- Kangda shooters! In addition to the few mentioned by Zhang Mingji, there are also Anthony Walker, Rudy Gay, and so on.

If it was before, An Xi might have blackened when he heard the word shooter, but now, An Xi is not afraid, he smiled and nodded: "My three points are okay, and when I enter the three-point line, I won't shoot." ā€

"It's just three points, and now the NBA trend is three points, and you're in tune with the times. Yao Ming nodded thoughtfully.

"By the way, now that the league is suspended, Xiao An, how are you going to spend the shutdown period?" After talking for so long, it was finally time to get to the point, and An Xi instantly understood Yao Ming's purpose for coming to him, I heard that Da Yao bought the Demon Capital Oriental Sharks last year?

An Xi really guessed correctly, Yao Ming continued: "If you don't know where to play, you can come to me, I can sign a contract with you similar to the UAE and Guangdong team, once the shutdown is over, you can leave immediately." ā€

An Xi's heart was immediately moved, but after thinking about it, he still shook his head: "Thank you Brother Yao for your kindness, but my relationship is still in the Capital Sports Bureau, so I want to contact the Capital Men's Basketball Team first." ā€

Yao Ming was also disappointed, and the two quickly diverted the topic.

……

The meeting with Yao Ming was quite successful, except that Anxi did not agree to play in the magic capital, Anxi and Yao's team still reached some agreements, including hiring Zhang Mingji to be his Chinese agent.

Anxi feels that he really needs a Chinese broker, the domestic market is vast, and it is still beneficial to have a broker who is specifically responsible for the Chinese market.

The day after the meeting with Yao Ming, Anxi came to the Capital Sports Bureau, accompanied by Iwo Clark and Zhang Mingji.

The capital men's basketball team sent out including team leader Hu Tiande, head coach Min Lulei and team manager Li Jun.

A total of six people sat down in the conference room and began to discuss, the capital men's basketball team is very nervous about Zhang Mingji's appearance, the current Zhang Mingji, not only has the position of Yao Ming's agent, he also holds the real power of the Oriental Shark in the magic capital, and he is the general manager of the magic capital team behind his back.

However, after hearing that Zhang Mingji was Anxi's Chinese agent, the capital men's basketball team was relieved.

At the beginning, the two sides negotiated the salary and logistics of Anxi playing for the capital men's basketball team, and everything went smoothly, and the capital men's basketball team issued a contract with an annual salary of 7 million yuan for Anxi, plus a commitment to arrange separate medical personnel and trainers for Anxi, and in general, Anxi was still satisfied.

However, then, Zhang Mingji proposed to add a clause to the contract to terminate the contract at any time on behalf of Anxi, and the capital men's basketball team changed its face in an instant.

"Terminate your contract at any time and go to the United States to play?" Hu Tiande was the first to cry out. "This can't be! Our capital men's basketball team doesn't have this rule!"

"And the Basketball Association has also issued a new rule, all players from the NBA, even if the NBA shutdown ends, are not allowed to terminate their contracts early and return to the United States!" Li Jun also echoed.

Zhang Mingji smiled: "Mr. Li, you can fool others, you still want to fool me, the new regulations issued by the Basketball Association are aimed at foreign aid players, and Anxi is a domestic aid?!"

"Whoever said that Anxi came back from the United States, he has to abide by it!" Li Jun insisted on his opinion.

"The United States has returned, and the United Arab Emirates has also returned to the United States, so he has to abide by it?" Zhang Mingji spread his hands and asked rhetorically.

Li Jun hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Even if it is the United Arab Emirates, he has to abide by the rules of the Basketball Association! Unless he doesn't want this Chinese identity!"

Zhang Mingji smiled, "But as far as I know, the contract signed by the UAE and the Yuedong team has a clause that the NBA suspension will be terminated at the end of the contract!"

Li Jun was speechless all of a sudden, but Hu Tiande on the side was silent for a while and then said: "Can you compare with the United Arab Emirates? Are you a serious NBA player? What about you? Have you signed a contract with an NBA team? A rookie, you are still compared to others!"

Hu Tiande asked rhetorically one after another, An Xi suddenly became angry, and he didn't care about Zhang Mingji's eyes, he slapped the table and stood up: "Then according to what you mean, you just don't have to talk about it?

The angry Anxi turned his head and left, Zhang Mingji and Iwo Clark also hurriedly took their briefcases and followed behind, leaving only the three men of the capital men's basketball team who looked at each other.

The silent three watched An Xi leave, and they didn't speak until they couldn't see An Xi's figure, and then the general manager Li Jun patted the table and said, "What kind of attitude?!"

"That's it, it's too much to take our capital men's basketball team seriously!" Hu Tiande was also ruthless. "I'll let him know how powerful our capital men's basketball team is! I'm going to ban him in the country and see where he plays!"
