Hearing this, Wang Cheng crossed three black lines in his heart, and he didn't know how to answer.

He can't tell the Magic that in the second year of James' arrival with the Lakers, you should trade Ball.

However, what the magician said was that relying on his own strength to divide the playing time was exactly what Wang Cheng wanted. The Lakers guard line does have their own characteristics, but everyone's shortcomings are also obvious, and Wang City doesn't think anyone can threaten their main position.

So Wang Cheng responded: "What I need is a fair chance to play, and if the Lakers can provide it, then I'm willing to stay." ”

Hearing Wang Cheng's affirmative reply, Pelinka also smiled, took out a document from his briefcase and said, "Since we have reached a consensus, let's confirm the details of the contract." This is the contract we have drawn up, it is a fully guaranteed contract, you see. ”

Wang Cheng couldn't help but nod when he heard that it was a fully guaranteed contract.

This is the sincerity shown by the Lakers. You know, it's rare for a draft pick to sign a fully guaranteed first contract.

The so-called fully guaranteed contract means that the player can get 100% of the annual salary when he is laid off.

On the other hand, a non-guaranteed contract means that the team lays off a player at no cost. This kind of contract is very rare, such as the kind of contract that Howard signed when he joined the Lakers, and it is a very low gesture to play and receive a salary.

Most NBA fringe players sign partial-guarantee contracts, which are guaranteed parts of the contract that are paid when the team wants to cut a player.

For example, if a player's contract is 5 million a year, of which 2.5 million is guaranteed, then the team only needs to pay 2.5 million when cutting a player. Jeremy Lin signed this kind of contract to join the Knicks back then.

Wang Cheng took the contract and confidently studied it, and quickly found the issue of the contract length that he was most concerned about.

It's a three-year contract with a fixed contract for the first two years and a team option for the third. In other words, with this contract, Wang Cheng will definitely play for the Lakers in the next two years, and the option of whether to stay with the team in the third year is in the hands of the Lakers.

The total value of the contract is $10 million, and the salary for three years is: 1.25 million, 3.75 million, 5 million.

Seeing such a treaty, Wang Cheng couldn't help frowning: "The salary aspect is not my main consideration at the moment, but I hope to only sign a one-year contract." ”

Wang Cheng's tone was very frank, the content was direct, and the goal was clear.

"Oh? As someone who has been here, I have to tell you that the stakes are high. Pelinka persuaded.

He's a veteran agent and he's seen players with short-lived attitudes. This type of player has a skewed perception of himself after a short outburst, can't play after signing a short-term contract, and ends up in the NBA without even making much money.

"I'm not afraid of risk, I'm confident in directness." Wang Cheng said firmly.

"Then I'll talk to Erwin (the magician) about it."

With that, Pelinka led the magician out of the royal city's room.

Ten minutes later, the two discussed.

"The team respects your wishes and can shorten your contract to two years, with a second year option for the team." Pelinka Road.

"I'm very grateful to the team for making concessions, but I still can't accept such a number of years." Wang Cheng shook his head, thought for a moment and said, "That's it, I'll also take a step, and I'll sign it if it is changed to a player option in the second year." ”

Wang Cheng has already thought about it, perform well this season, jump out of the contract directly in the second year, and then sign a big contract.

Pelinka and the others deliberated again, and finally agreed to Wang Cheng's request.

That night, Wang Cheng officially signed with the Lakers on a two-year contract worth a total of $5 million.

After the Lakers released the news on their official tweets, Chinese fans on the other side of the ocean rejoiced.

After many years, Chinese players finally appeared on the NBA stage again.

Wang Cheng was also very happy, and this was the first small goal after completing the crossing.

"The next step is to get the Rookie of the Year and help the team make the playoffs." Wang Cheng was calculating.

He took out his mobile phone and first sent a text message to Tang Wanli, briefly explaining the situation.

Wang Cheng wanted to send one to Tang Tingyu and Bi Li, but he didn't know how to phrase it, and the last two text messages ended in nothing.

Then he logged on to Twitter again, retweeted the official tweet of signing with the Lakers, and revised his profile by the way.

After all this, it was already late at night.

Wang Cheng lay on the bed, recalling the scenes that had happened in the past from time to time.

In less than a month, he has helped the original owner fulfill his dream for many years. In fact, during this time, Wang Cheng's mentality has changed a lot unconsciously.

At the beginning of the crossing, this world was more like a game for him, whether it was a coach, a teammate or an opponent, or a "family" like Tang Wanli and Tang Tingxue, in Wang Cheng's eyes, it was like an NPC in the game.

But as time passed, these people and things slowly came to life, and he gradually adapted to his new role.

"It's not a game, it's real life." Wang Cheng sighed in his heart.

Here, the dream that he did not dare to hope for in his previous life has shone into reality.

Wang Cheng is sure that in this life, he will live vigorously!
