Happiness came a little too suddenly, and Li Tuanjie and Xia Fangfei were both happy......

"Don't have to go to Salt Lake City? Haha, to be able to stay in Texas! Li Tuanjie was ecstatic in his heart, originally the Dallas Mavericks were Li Tuanjie's favorite team, and now he was finally able to join the Mavericks as he wished, and he was naturally happy.

Last season, under the leadership of head coach Avery Johnson, the Mavericks played a very good regular season record, and finally successfully reached the finals.

At first glance, it doesn't seem like a good thing for a newcomer to join a super strong team like the Mavericks, and it's easy to lose talent because of a lack of playing time.

But Li Tuanjie has his own considerations, and joining the Mavericks is actually a good thing for Li Tuanjie, at least it is more beneficial to Li Tuanjie than joining the Rockets or Spurs.

The first is the Mavericks' lineup, the Mavericks' lineup in the past two seasons is definitely one of the best in the entire league, with many stars in the team, but although there are many stars, the position of power forward, except for Nowitzki, really can't find any decent players.

The two players who are currently serving as power forward substitutes in the Mavericks are Kevin Willis and Austin Crohill, and these two players have played more than 20 minutes together, but the combined statistics of the two are less than 6 points and 5 rebounds per game......

These two men were Novitzki's replacements, and it is no wonder that Cuban had to recruit Li Tuanjie to his command for bloodletting......

You don't have to think about it to know that once Li Tuanjie joins Mavericks, at least one of these two people will be swept out of the Mavericks, and then make room for Li Tuanjie!

In this way, if Li Tuanjie can play better, it may not be long before he becomes Nowitzki's chief replacement!

Becoming the chief substitute means that Li Tuanjie will have a stable playing time, which is extremely precious for any rookie player!

……

In addition to joining the Mavericks to definitely get stable playing time, Nowitzki, as the best projection power forward in the league today, definitely has a lot of things that Li Tuanjie can learn.

Finally, as a strong member of the alliance, Mavericks has received a high degree of attention, as long as Li Tuanjie performs reliably, his usual exposure is absolutely indispensable.

On the whole, the Dallas Mavericks are quite suitable for Li Tuanjie and are very suitable to be the starting stage of his NBA career!

……

After saying goodbye to Brand-Davis, Li Tuanjie and Xia Fangfei returned to Dallas in high spirits......

"I said you've been grinning all the way, can we drive well, it's scary!" Li Tuanjie sat in the co-pilot and said to Xia Fangfei, who was driving.

"Can't laugh anymore? Li Tuanjie, you have a long ability, do you think you are capable and have become a big star? Are you going to abandon the old lady?! Xia Fangfei glanced at Li Tuanjie, her face full of unhappiness.

"Eh, you pay attention to the words, what do you mean by abandonment? It's like I'm Chen Shimei! ”

"Hey, Li Tuanjie, it's really unseemly, look at your usual honesty and honesty, you are so good at quibbling, believe it or not, I threw you on the side of the road and let you walk back by yourself......"

"Don't mind, don't mind, what's the matter, we are such good brothers, how could I abandon you......"

"Oh, so you treat me like a brother!"

……

After the draft meeting at the end of June, after three days, Li Tuanjie received an internal notice from the Mavericks, inviting him to come to the team on July 7 to sign a rookie contract!

I have to say that Maverick really has high hopes for Li Tuanjie, and the signing of the contract did not drag on for a long time!

There are still some processes to go through before signing the contract, such as the physical test done by the team itself, such as the health test, etc., Li Tuanjie passed the test easily and did not waste too long time!

This time, because the contract is a standard rookie contract, there is no need for any agent or lawyer team to be present.

Generally speaking, a hot rookie like Li Tuanjie must have found an agent before the draft, after all, the role of an agent for a player is not as simple as signing a professional contract!

Especially before the draft, a qualified agent can use their excellent operational skills, which is the ability to build momentum, and even have the opportunity to greatly improve the draft pick of rookie players.

However, Li Tuanjie doesn't need others to build momentum for him, he can build momentum for himself himself, and his strength doesn't need to be tricky!

Originally, Xia Fangfei also wanted to use his relationship to help Li Tuanjie buy a team of agents, but he was politely rejected by Li Tuanjie, he owed Xia Fangfei a lot, and he couldn't count on Xia Fangfei to help him do everything......

(Blow-out: Don't think that all players have agents, at least half of the NBA's rookie players don't have agents)

The contract signed by Li Tuanjie and the Mavericks is a 3+1 contract, the first three years are guaranteed contracts, and the last year is a team option, with a total contract amount of 8.84 million, of which the starting salary is 1.87 million in the first year and 2.84 million in the last year.

Obviously, although Li Tuanjie is not low in the draft and is also a lottery pick, the contract amount is completely incomparable with the champion, and his contract is less than half of Bagnani's......

After that, it was the choice of jersey numbers, in the list of available numbers provided by Davis, Li Tuanjie took a look, among which No. 1 and No. 14 were his favorite numbers, but the number of No. 1 was originally the Mavericks guard Bagner, that is, the chips for the Mavericks Jazz trade......

Because of the arrival of Li Tuanjie, Bagner had to pack up and leave, so this No. 1 jersey was naturally empty!

After thinking about it, Li Tuanjie finally gave up choosing the No. 1 jersey, anyway, as soon as Bagna left, he occupied other people's jersey numbers, which seemed a little unkind.

In the end, Lee's jersey number was determined to be No. 14, mainly because Lee Tuanjie was selected with the 14th pick in the first round, and Nowitzki's number was 41......

……

The signing of this rookie contract, the Mavericks are very low-key, and they did not hold a rookie meeting, and now the Mavericks have just experienced a fiasco in the finals and are on the cusp of the storm, which is really not high-profile.

After signing his name on the contract, Li Tuanjie breathed a sigh of relief, his long-standing wish had finally come true!

……

Successfully joined the NBA team, and joined the Dallas Mavericks, who he liked very much, and was teammates with the German artillery Nowitzki, which made Li Tuanjie feel as if he was living in a dream.

He firmly believes that with his own efforts and the assistance of the Wanjie Mall system, he will definitely be able to play a brilliant performance on the stage of Mavericks!

“NBA！ I'm here! ”
