Chapter 21: The Millionaire
"Lin Han, you're acting like a secret agent now, is it necessary, isn't it just being drafted by the NBA? Do you really think this is going to be a big star? β
After yesterday's NBA draft, early this morning, Lin Han went to the team to determine the situation, and also thanked the team for being able to select him in such a pick, but it is clear that although Utah is not a continent in the United States and has a population of less than 250,000, the team here can definitely rank among the top few NBA teams in terms of enthusiasm, and this enthusiasm is definitely aggressive and fanatical.
For such a place, and the fans of this place, how could Lin Han be careless, so when Lin Han went out this morning, he was definitely fully armed, hats, masks, cloaks, it can be said that all the things that can cover himself are covered.
Of course, if he hadn't watched the TV station's talk show about this year's draft after yesterday's draft, Lin Han might not have done it, after all, even if the Jazz's selection of himself was controversial, Lin Han didn't think that the Utah team would do anything to him, but after watching the talk show after yesterday's draft, Lin Han didn't think so.
Those guys' In addition to commenting on the competition between the Magic and the Warriors and the 76ers about Hardaway and Webb, almost the entire show was explaining Lin Han, even from Lin Han's birth, to Lin Han's why he played basketball, how many times he played in the game after playing basketball, and the relationship with Jazz head coach Jerry Sloan after participating in the NBA draft, it can be said that these guys will hack Lin Han as long as they find an opportunity, and by the way, guide fans and others to question Lin Han, especially the Jazz fans who have been helping Lin Han pull hatred in the show, and joke that Jazz fans are going to experience another season of defeat in the playoffs this yearγ
Although Lin Han is not sure how many Jazz fans watched the show last night, it is better to be careful, if something really happens to the fans, it will really make Lin Han have no place to cry.
"It's all about safety anyway, there's nothing wrong with being cautious"
Lin Han took off his hat and mask and threw it at his second sister who had just laughed at him, and then went to the sand to read the latest newspaper that had just come out today, and just now Lin Han bought almost all the most famous newspapers in the United States at the newsstand.
Because the NBA draft has just ended, almost all the front pages of the sports pages in these big newspapers are about last night's NBA draft, of course, as long as last night's NBA draft is mentioned, it is naturally impossible not to mention Linham, the known 'luckiest' rookie, who made the Jazz into the pit after playing for a year.
Lin Han, who was hit when he watched TV yesterday, was ready to find some comfort in these paper media, after all, although these newspapers did not report much on Lin Han before, most of them were positive, especially the most bullish media like USA Today were all 'Lin Blow' at the beginning, so in Lin Han's heart, these paper media are very okay in terms of ethics.
It's just that to Lin Han's disappointment, Lin Han has turned over a lot, except for USA Today after giving Lin Han a 'wait and see' neutral evaluation in an important position in its sports edition, almost all other major media are ridiculed and questioned, and even in terms of momentum, it is no worse than those TV programs last night.
"Brother, the newspapers are all scolding you, these guys are really too much"
Lin Han was looking at these newspapers and getting angry, and at this time, Lin Yu, the little sister who was sitting next to Lin Han, was also pouting and angry, obviously, how could his favorite brother be like this in the newspapers, the biggest 'liar' in NBA history?
"He deserves it, who let him run to the NBA without anything, what is he doing, he is full, this guy just owes scolding"
After Lin Yu finished speaking angrily, Lin Wei snatched all the newspapers directly from Lin Han and Lin Yu's hands, which made Lin Han glare at the second sister who had been at odds with him again and said angrily: "What are you doing, I haven't finished reading it yet, give it back to me"
"What's the use of watching these things now, and then secretly scolding them, if you really have the ability, let all these media bow to you after a year, what a child"
After Lin Yu glanced at Lin Han with disdain, he directly threw these collected newspapers into the trash, and at this time Lin Han really didn't know how to answer, it seemed that what she said really made some sense, rather than getting entangled here, it was better to turn the entanglement into strength, after figuring out this, this is also what made Lin Han, who was about to fall into a demon who had been hit hard in the last day or two, finally found some of himself.
Of course, Lin Han is now being ridiculed by the media and TV shows across the United States, and is also being teased by many fans across the United States, the most 'lucky' beginner in history, the biggest 'liar' in history, the most garbage rookie in history, and so on, and so on, are thrown at Lin Han's head one by one, even if Lin Han wants to hide, he can't hide.
But fortunately, although the whole country is now questioning him and the Jazz, there has been no other change in the signing between him and the Jazz because of this incident, and the Jazz have not decided not to give Linham a contract because of the doubts of the United States and the doubts of Utah fans.
You know, the current NBA rookies are not necessarily able to get a contract, even a rookie may not get a contract, as long as the team is absolutely not suitable, it is also possible not to give a rookie contract, the current NBA rookie salary has not been linked to the rookie's draft ranking, so the team chose a rookie, just let the team and the selected rookie have the right of first refusal.
If the rookie is not satisfied with the salary given to him by the team, then the rookie can refuse to sign, and if the team is not satisfied with the rookie's ability, it can also refuse to give the rookie contract, the two sides are absolutely equal, so, now, there are many strange big contracts among the rookies in the NBA, a rookie has signed a contract for one year, some have signed for three or four years, and even signed for seven or eight years, and some rookies are indispensable to the team because of their own strength, so they open their mouths with the team when they sign the rookie contract, Some of these rookies have higher salaries than some of the NBA's most famous superstars.
For example, last year's rookie O'Neal, this guy signed a rookie contract with the Magic for 4 years, the first year is 3oo dollars, the second year is 4oo dollars, the third year is 5oo dollars, and the fourth year is 6oo dollars, you know, Jordan's next three years, the annual contract is only 4oo million, and now a team's salary cap is only 14oo million, O'Neal's average salary in the rookie period is 45o million, which is equivalent to one-third of the salary cap, if the NBA's salary cap is 6ooo million, So O'Neal's average salary in his rookie season is 2ooo million, how can Jordan and other NBA superstars be embarrassed?
If O'Neal is a specialty, forget it, but O'Neal's high rookie salary is definitely not a specialty, the same champion, the champion in 1991 Larry Johnson and Charlotte Hornets signed a 6-year 21oo rookie contract, with an average annual salary of 35o thousand, although it is a little worse than Jordan, but it is still higher than Pippen, Malone, Barkley, Mullin, Stockton and Olajuwon and Ewing and a large number of superstars, Such a salary structure is almost the flashpoint of conflict within many teams in the NBA.
Therefore, after the NBA draft this year, Hardaway and Webb may have no problem with their annual salaries higher than most NBA superstars, as long as they say they will not sign without a high salary, then both the Magic and the Warriors will directly comply, after all, these rookies are irreplaceable.
Of course, a genius is a genius, although Lin Han knows that Jerry Sloan and Jazz value him very much, but Lin Han is not crazy enough that he can casually shout the price when the former rookie contract is in place, if he really shouts a 1o year 100 million rookie contract to the Jazz, the Jazz will definitely kick him directly, so, in a certain way, an ordinary rookie like Lin Han is actually relatively simple in signing, and there is no need for too much ruphem, and the two sides basically have a default agreement.
However, because Lin Han does not have his own agent, and all the NBA signings must need an agent, so Lin Han's signing with the Jazz is to let the Jazz help him find an official agent to sign, although most of the players in the NBA have their own agents, but the agent needs to charge commissions, so there are still some players in the NBA who do not have a personal agent, and the team will help in this case.
Because Lin Han and Jazz have long had a consensus on Lin Han's contract, therefore, Lin Han and Jazz's signing did not drag on for too long, on July 5, 1993, Lin Han signed a 3-year 33O contract with Jazz in the Jazz general manager's office, the first year's salary is 850,000, the second year's salary is 11O, and the second year's salary is 1.35 million, according to NBA regulations, Lin Han can receive 110,000 wages from the Jazz every year, although Lin Han's first year's salary is 850,000, But because the three years are guaranteed contracts, Lin Han can receive an average salary of 11o in the first year.
Lin Han's signing amount of this contract is not large, of course, it is not small, it is a better contract for the NBA rookie 14 to 2O picks, if Lin Han's draft position can enter the top 13 picks, that is, the lottery area, then Lin Han's minimum salary in the first year will be 1oo thousand, and the average annual salary will be 14o million.
Of course, no matter what, for Lin Han, who is now in dire need of money, an average annual salary of 11o is already very good, after all, this has made him almost penniless a millionaire.
