After a while, Billy said enviously: "But even if you pay so much tax and give half to the government, Yi can get more than 10 million US dollars this year!" This is how many people can't earn money in their lifetime......"

At the end, he added, "And that's not counting the easy wages for the Lakers to play!" As the top pick, how can the Lakers have to give Yi a contract worth more than $20 million, right? ”

Patterson flipped through the data on his tablet, "The details of the Chinese kid's rookie contract have not been disclosed until now. However, according to the regulations, the base annual salary of the champion in the first year of this year is $4.67 million, and the team can offer the champion a contract of 120% of the base annual salary, and the minimum is at least 90% of the base annual salary. ”

"Under normal circumstances, almost the vast majority of teams would offer 120% of their base salary. And the Lakers traded the Chinese kid from the Timberwolves after spending such a big price, and they must not treat him badly. ”

"In other words, the Chinese kid's annual salary this season should be 1.2 times that of $4.67 million, or about $5.6 million."

"If it increases at a rate of about 110% every year, then the value of the contract signed by the Chinese kid and the Lakers should be about $24 million."

"But as I said before, the Lakers, especially Kobe, are so optimistic about the Chinese kid, and the multiplier may be greater. Then the value of the final contract could be added to a few million dollars! ”

Billy couldn't help but be dumbfounded, "Oh my God, this contract is so scary!" I'm afraid it's the most valuable rookie contract ever, right? ”

"It may or may not be," Patterson snapped his tablet on the table, "Last year's No. 1 pick Andrew Wiggins has a four-year, $24.85 million contract, and if you want to surpass this big contract, then it depends on the Chinese kid's agent ability." ”

"However, as far as I know, the Chinese kid's agent is not the well-connected giants in the NBA, but a Chinese, maybe a relative of the Chinese kid."

"Although the Chinese kid already has his own exclusive agent team, I am skeptical about the ability of his agent team."

Billy smiled, "You're always like this, you like to look down on other people......"

――――――

During the pause, Yi Feng overheard the two commentators talking about his contract issues, and also heard one of the commentators questioning the ability of his agent team.

In this regard, Yi Feng laughed at it.

In fact, according to Yi Feng's low-key style, after signing these contracts, he didn't want to announce them. It is okay to say that the wealth is not exposed, or it is okay to make a fortune in a muffled voice.

However, those 5 commercial contracts must be made public, otherwise there is no point in other companies coming to him for endorsement. If it is not announced, it will not be able to obtain commercial value by relying on Yifeng's popularity.

As for the rookie contract signed with the Lakers, with the collective cooperation of Yi Feng's "popular world" team, coupled with the negotiation power of Zhuang Yue and Rui Xue, a four-year contract of $25.35 million was finally finalized.

This is a "2+1+1" contract with 5.6 million in the first year, 5.88 million in the second year, 6.17 million in the third year, 7.7 million in the fourth year, and a team option for the second two years.

And there are some interesting additional clauses to this contract:

Won the MVP of the finals and was rewarded with $1 million;

Earn $1 million in regular season MVP;

$1,000,000 for Best Defensive Player;

$800,000 for entering the NBA All-NBA First Team and $650,000 for entering the NBA All-NBA Second Team; $500,000 for entering the NBA All-NBA Team three times;

$800,000 for the first team and $650,000 for the NBA All-Defensive Team for the second team;

Win the data king (scoring king, assist king, steal king, rebounding king, block king) reward of 800,000 US dollars;

$800,000 for leading the team back to the playoffs ($100,000 for the second round, $200,000 for the division finals, and $500,000 for the finals);

$500,000 for Best Rookie;

$450,000 for All-Star Game MVP;

$350,000 for the MVP of the rookie game;

$300,000 for the Most Improved Player Award;

$300,000 for entering the NBA Rookie of the Year Team for the first team, and $200,000 for the NBA Rookie of the Year Team for the second team;

In his rookie season, he will be rewarded with $250,000 for shooting 45% from the field + 40% from three-point range + 80% or more from the free throw line;

$200,000 for winning the slam dunk contest;

$200,000 for winning the three-point contest;

$200,000 for winning the skills competition ($200,000 for all three winners);

Receive a Player of the Month award of $100,000 (can be counted repeatedly);

$20,000 for one Player of the Week award (can be counted repeatedly);

Considering that Yi Feng did not have many opportunities to sit on the bench, the best sixth man award was not included in the contract.

When the "popular world" team made such a request, the Lakers were actually a little stunned, and some couldn't laugh or cry.

Because of major awards like Finals MVP and regular season MVP, it is very difficult for players to get them during their rookie contract year. In the decades-long history of the NBA, there have been very few players who have been able to do it.

"Magic" Johnson won the Finals MVP in his rookie season and became the youngest player to win the Finals MVP, a record that has not been broken to this day. He was not yet 21 years old when he won the Finals MVP in 1980.

Tim Duncan, the NBA's greatest power forward, also won the Finals MVP during his rookie contract year, becoming the second-youngest Finals MVP in history. He was only 23 years old when he won the Finals MVP in 1999.

Derrick Rose, the 2008 top pick, won the regular season MVP during his rookie contract year and became the youngest regular season MVP in NBA history. Rose was under 23 when he won the regular season MVP in 2011.

These players are great, especially "Magic" Johnson and the eternal "No. 21" Duncan, who have set a series of records that may never be broken by those who come after them.

And Derrick Rose was originally a genius, but unfortunately he was ruined by injury. In the year he won the MVP, his popularity caught up with the league's top player at the time, Kobe Bryant, and LeBron James, who had ambitions to become the league's number one!

If Yi Feng can really win the MVP like these people, then how can the Lakers be reluctant to give up that million dollars?

Although it is a little laughable to put forward such conditions for "popular in the world", the Lakers still agreed to these conditions very readily.

Among these terms, although each of them seems to be beneficial to Yi Feng, in fact, in the long run, it is the Lakers who take a big advantage.

As a Lakers player, Yi Feng played well, which will undoubtedly attract big fans. These people are the potential basis for Lakers tickets and peripheral income. The more people there are, the more money the Lakers will earn.

It can be said that such a clause is a win-win clause that benefits both parties.

And although such a clause does not seem to be shocking to the world, once it is announced, it will definitely cause controversy, and then it will be full of saliva.

For such a situation, Yi Feng has long been tired of it. Since coming to the United States, his ears have never been clean. There are always countless people who question him, and there are always some people who maliciously curse him.

If it weren't for the exposure of his orphan status, maybe the eighteen generations of his ancestors would have been scolded and woke up and crawled out of the grave in anger.

Just like when you're eating, there's always a lot of flies "buzzing" around you, and you're sure to feel overwhelmed. Of course, flies don't pose a threat to you at all, just like these people who question Yi Feng, they will never see Yi Feng really become the unbearable appearance in their mouths.

At Yi Feng's request, the contract was not exposed in the end. Now that there are enough people hacking him, there is no need to make another name of "the biggest rookie contract in history" to recruit him.

――――――

After the timeout, the game resumed.

After a scolding from the head coach during the timeout, the Jazz players were much more energetic, especially Alec Burks, who was very defense when he was in the second position.

Since taking a four-year, $42 million contract with the Jazz, Alec Burks has not had a chance to show himself well. Now even in the face of the "butcher", he has to rise to the challenge and "serve allegiance to death"!

The defensive intensity increased suddenly, causing Yi Feng's shooting rate to begin to decline, and he no longer had the magical level of 100 shots before.

But today's Yi Feng played tough, constantly hitting the inside, and even if the opponent's defensive intensity against him was getting stronger, he also played resolutely. It's okay if you miss, you can also make fouls!

Therefore, even if the offense and defense of the two teams become normal, the Jazz will not be able to close the point difference. The score difference has been kept at around 10.

The Lakers temporarily led the Jazz by 10 points at 28:18.

The Jazz called a timeout with 2:18 left in the first quarter.

Yi Feng's breath is a little uneven, after all, he fights so hard, and it takes a lot of physical strength.

In that time on the court, he shot 6-of-10 from the field, hit one three-pointer, one dunk, two mid-range shots and two layups, and made 8-of-8 free throws, scoring a total of 21 points!

21 points in a single quarter!

Yi Feng is the biggest contributor to the team's current lead.

And he's also very efficient in scoring, shooting 60% of his 6-of-10 shooting! His high score, in addition to his high shooting percentage, was largely due to the fact that he took eight free throws.

Patterson, a white commentator, said during the timeout: "I looked at the statistics and found that the Chinese kid's scoring efficiency is so high that he has no friends!" 6 of 10 shots, what a hit percentage this is! ”

Billy made the appearance of a fanatical fan, "From now on, I am a fan of Yi!" His performance was amazing, and I couldn't help but be impressed! ”

Patterson was sensible, "So you're going to be a fan?" He's got off to a perfect start to his NBA career, but you know, it's just a preseason game! His high score was just because of the many free throws he made by chance! ”

Billy wondered, "Didn't you just say that he scored so efficiently that he had no friends?" And he scored only 8 points from the free-throw line and 13 points from the shot! ”

"What a star I admire! Such a high efficiency shows that while he has a good performance, he will not hinder his teammates from playing well! With such a player, there will be a lot of people who want to be teammates with him! ”

"By all indications, as long as he doesn't suffer a major injury that will affect his career life in the future, then he will definitely get at least one championship ring!"
