(Sharp Knife knows that everyone has their own team and favorite players in their hearts.) But after all, it took so much effort for the Knicks to sign the protagonist in hand. If you don't like this team's book friends, support the protagonist more! ）

As soon as the draft ended, Sun Yi's family went straight back to the hotel, while Sorrentino and Knicks vice president Woning. Chapman and the team's head coach Mike Brown. D'Antoni had a short but sincere exchange.

With this information, the agent of the new science scout is analyzing the development prospects of the Knicks from Sun Yi and his parents.

"Since Patrick. After Ewing left the team, the New York Knicks entered a long period of rebuilding. Especially in Isaiah. When Thomas was in power, he entered the darkest period...... "Tony Brown, who is familiar with the history and allusions of NBA teams. Sorrentino began to introduce the NBA team that Chinese fans don't pay much attention to.

'But judging from my meeting today with vice-president Chapman and manager D'Antoni. This veteran of the team, who has just been entrusted with a heavy task for the Knicks, is a very shrewd guy. It's hard to imagine him making ridiculous mistakes like Thomas's often short-circuited head. From the fact that he can take you to the 'Big Apple' city at any cost despite the pressure, you can see the decisiveness and ruthlessness of this guy who is not good at words. Sorrentino continued to Sun Yi: "Also, I think you were very lucky to be able to play under D'Antoni in your rookie season. You know, he's very good at training and using defenders. Won the NBA regular season MVP for two consecutive years. Nash is a benchmark figure. ”

"Tony, tell me about their plans." Sun Yi is more interested in the Knicks' goals next season.

"Sun, New Yorkers have paid a lot of money to get you. It's not realistic to get a good result or make the playoffs. ”

After hearing the agent's analysis, the proud and competitive Chinese guy in his heart was indeed a little unhappy.

"I think your job in your rookie season is to keep improving yourself. You know, Michael. Jordan won his first O'Brien Cup in his seventh year in the league. Sorrentino, who looked at the young basketball genius with a serious face, continued: "Also, being able to play in a big city like New York is only good for you. In fact, the Chinese market behind Sun Yi is of little interest to the Knicks, the richest team in the NBA. They chose this Chinese player from a purely competitive point of view. It has helped Sun Yi's personal influence rise, although the Knicks have not had a good record in recent years, it is still one of the teams in the league with the highest live broadcast rate in the United States.

"Well, it looks like that's all there is to it." Sun Yi, who had some resentment towards the champion in his heart, had an expression of resignation.

……

Jingle bell ......!

The mobile phone placed at the head of the bed emitted a rush of music.

Sun Yi, who was woken up, looked at the bright sky outside the window. Who! Early in the morning disturbs good dreams.

"Hey! I'm Sun Yi, who is it? ”

"Hello, I am An Ran, a member of the Chinese men's basketball preparation team."

Hey! This voice seems familiar. Without waiting for Sun Yi to think about it, the other party's voice followed.

"On behalf of the Basketball Management Center, I would like to inform you that you have been selected for the final list of the Chinese men's basketball team to participate in the Olympic Games. Since receiving the notice, I hope you will rush to the National Men's Basketball Training Base on XX Road, XX District, the capital within three days to report......"

"What? You repeat it again. Wait, I'll take the notes. ”

“……”

The Chinese guy who feels that happiness comes too quickly still doesn't believe it until the end. "Is everything you just said true?"

"Of course, if you can easily access the Internet, you can find relevant reports from major sports portals in China."

Chinese player Sun Yi and coach D'Antoni sat side by side at a table with a newly effective NBA professional contract in front of them.

Click! The photo, which is regarded as a historic moment by Knicks fans, was completed in the room of the hotel where Sun Yi was staying.

It stands to reason that most of the rookie signing time is completed in early July. But Sun Yi, who was in a hurry to rush back to China and participate in the national men's basketball training camp, really didn't have time to wait a moment longer. The Knicks seemed to be even more eager, and on the second day of the draft, they came to the hotel where Sun Yi was temporarily staying with the contract that had been prepared for a long time.

After a brief conversation, Sorrentino confirmed that there were no problems with the contract, and the final formalities were carried out for both parties. The rookie contract, which is priced at $18.14 million, is fully guaranteed for the first two years and is a non-guaranteed contract with a team option for the second two years. As Sun Yi was in a hurry to get to the airport, head coach D'Antoni regretted that if he had the chance, he might talk to the Chinese player during the Olympics. As the assistant coach of the American 'Dream Eight Team', D'Antoni will soon be with the team on the other side of the ocean.

The Knicks were financially efficient, and within an hour of signing the contract, they put nearly $2 million in after-tax income from Sun's first year's salary into the account. It has to be said that the level of taxation in the United States for high-income people is quite high. Coupled with the identity of a foreigner, Sun Yi's annual salary of 3.88 million in the first year is so much after he gets it.

After all the legal formalities were completed, Sun Wenyuan and Li Jinfeng, accompanied by Chapman, went to New York to find a suitable place to live for their son, who was about to play for the Knicks.

……

Generous Business Class seats that can be adjusted to suit the needs of passengers. Who wouldn't want to make their lives a little more comfortable if they could? Sun Yi, who was sitting side by side with Sorrentino, was still thinking about a phone call from his friend Rose just now. From the other party's slurring tone and cautious inquiry, he could understand his friend's mood at this time. No one is right or wrong, and it's the Bulls management who really makes the mistake. Of course, Rose, who is about to become the 'Windy City Rose', has expressed his determination to defend his home honor. However, in the eyes of the Chinese guys, no one can stop themselves from venting at the United Center Arena in Chicago......

June 30, 2008, 9 a.m. In front of the pick-up platform at the Capital International Airport, there was a dark pressure on the 'heavily armed' media workers, looking at the flight arrival information from time to time and then looking at the time in their respective tables.

A tall man with long broken hair was walking out of the passenger passage with a square step. After a long flight of more than 20 hours, Chinese player Sun Yi and his agent returned to their homeland.

Considering that the other party has been studying and living in the United States all year round, this time the basketball management center specially sent a special car to pick up the airport. Anyway, people have also been recruited to the national team, so it is better to do a better job. This is the conversation between 'Ma Zai' An Ran and 'Big Brother' Director Xin.

Hundreds of media reporters rushed to interview the newcomer to the national team, which really scared Sun Yi and Sorrentino. It's so welcoming! The Mediterranean man muttered quietly as he wiped the cold sweat from his face.

After dealing with the brief interviews of the reporters, a young man dressed in a dignified dress walked up to the two.

"Hello, I am An Ran, a staff member of the basketball management center, and I was appointed by the leader to pick up the plane."

This voice is so familiar, "Oh, I remember, you're the insider......"

"Shhhh Low-key, low-key. ”

"Hmmm! Got it, but I still want to thank you. ”

"There will be more opportunities to meet in the future, let's get in the car first."

……

After arranging Sorrentino's accommodation, at Sun Yi's insistent request, An Ran had no choice but to take this newcomer to the men's basketball team who didn't have time to reverse jet lag to the national team training base.

Because it happened to be a meal, when An Ran and his party drove into the base, many athletes who had just finished training were going to the athletes' cafeteria to eat with laughter.

At present, there are six training teams including the Chinese men's basketball team, the men's and women's gymnastics teams, the men's handball team and the men's and women's weightlifting teams.

The vehicle drove along the tree-lined avenue toward the base, and after a three- or four-minute drive, it stopped in front of a small three-story building.

I rub! Is that Coach Younas? I can't be mistaken! After confirming the identity of the white old man standing in front of the small building, the flattered Sun Yi hurriedly strode over.

It's just that this excited guy didn't notice that the middle-aged man next to Younas was looking at him with a smile. Hu Jiashi, deputy leader of the national men's basketball team.

What a talented little guy, in order to get you in, but it took a lot of effort to get your old nose in. As the domestic media reports on this talented player became more and more in-depth, Deputy Leader Hu, who has been working in the national team for a long time, saw the scene of the Chinese men's basketball team achieving a historical breakthrough in the Olympic Games. Immediately after, as a representative of the highly decorated pragmatic school, he will reach a new peak in his life......

"Hello coach, I'm late!" The Chinese guy who has lived in the United States for a long time directly gave each other a Western-style meeting gift and a hug.

"Haha! Not too late, not too late at all. Welcome to become a member of the Chinese men's basketball team. The old man spoke in his English, which was clearly accented by Eastern Europe, to the newcomers to the national team who had won it so hard.

"I can train right away, I don't know, okay?" Sun Yi, who was eager to fight, wrote an expectant expression on his face.

"You've just returned to China, and the jet lag is still ......"

"Coach, I don't feel any discomfort, I'm in very good shape, and I'm ready to train right away." The young man who has not had an official competition for more than two months has already itchy his hands.

Belch! After a brief thought, Younas finally nodded. Seeing the other party's excited expression, I sighed in my heart, it's good to be young!

"Okay, I agree. It's lunchtime, though. Let's go to the cafeteria first, what do you say? Wildly! ”

Deputy Team Leader Hu, who was left out in the cold, looked unconcerned. He glanced at Sun Yi with a smile, "Let's go, young man, the food in our canteen is very famous." ”

There are a number of well-known stars such as Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian, and the national men's basketball team has a very high standard of food in the training base. It is said that the chef of the canteen was specially transferred from Zhongnanhai.

Due to their late arrival, many of the players had already finished their meals and returned to their dormitories to rest. By the time Younas and the others went in, there were only three players left eating.

Wang Shipeng, Zhu Fangyu, Du Feng. Sun Yi recognized the three representatives of the Guangdong Provincial Basketball Team at a glance. Of course, now also his teammates.

I saw three people talking and laughing, and after seeing them, they immediately lowered their heads and concentrated on dealing with the food on the plate. Sun Yi, who had chosen the dishes, and the young An Ran sat at the same table.

"You just eat these things, can your body stand it?" Seeing the food on the other party's plate that didn't have much oil and water, An Ran couldn't help but ask.

"Brother An, the nutrition of these things is enough. Athletes are the most taboo, oily and fat-rich foods. Sun Yi looked at the quiet cafeteria and said in a low voice.

"Don't take a bite of Brother An, Brother An's. As if I am old, if you can afford me, just call me Enron. We Beijing gentlemen, don't pay attention to this. ”

……

After lunch, Sun Yi was taken to the door of the dormitory on the third floor of the small building by Deputy Team Leader Hu, who was always smiling. The second floor is where the coaching staff work and rest, and the first floor has a number of rooms for the team's training equipment.

Just as he was going upstairs, Sun Yi found that on the stairs leading from the second floor to the third floor, there was an iron sliding door. I rub! It feels like a prison.

Bang bang bang! With a knock on the door.

A handsome guy in his early two meters appeared in front of the two.

"Little Sun, oh, by the way, you are all surnamed Sun. This is Sun Yue, your roommate. This Sun Yi, your new teammate. Deputy Team Leader Hu introduced the two of them with a smile.

"Hello, I'm Sun Yi." Sun Yi's outstretched hand was awkwardly left in the air.

"Don't worry, you've just arrived, just get acquainted with everyone." Looking at Sun Yue, who turned around and went back to the house directly, Hu Jiashi handed over the toiletries he was carrying to the other party, and then turned to leave.

The space of the whole dormitory is not large, and it is about the same as the standard room of a normal business hotel. However, the beds have been lengthened.

A crackling keyboard knock attracted Sun Yi's gaze.

Knock knock! The rhythmic sound of war drums! Let this newcomer to the national team forget the embarrassment just now, because it is all too familiar. It should be World of Warcraft, the preparatory music before the arena battle begins.

Sun Yue, who is a bull-headed shaman, is very skillful in brushing the blood of thieves and mage teammates. When the opponent uses the badge and the thief activates the Shadow Dance skill RUSH, the shaman decisively uses the ultimate - bloodthirsty.

With this kind of team rush, the Mage's Ice Arrow looks not much different from the Instant Skill. The other party was instantly defeated by this thief Fasa combination.

"You're in a beautiful suit?"

"That's right!"

"DO YOU KNOW AN UNDEAD WARRIOR NAMED MING?"

Hey! Hearing this, Sun Yue finally turned her head. "How do you know I know him?"

Looks like I've met an acquaintance today.

"DO YOU KNOW A HUNTER NAMED NIDAYE?"

"I'm your uncle, hey, no, are you the hunter who called you uncle?"

"That's right, I'm your uncle, the female orc hunter player."

"Isn't it, is it such a coincidence?" Sun Yue was stunned by the sudden chance encounter, and she couldn't care about the other party and inadvertently took advantage of her.

After a brief exchange, the two quickly confirmed each other's identities. Sun Yue is the cow shaman with the ID SUNBOY.

From treating each other coldly just now, to being like brothers now. Just because of a game, the world of men is so simple! (To be continued.) )
