Chapter Seventy-Eight: Renewal

Raptors fans are disappointed.

Finishing third in the East is the best record in team history since joining the NBA in the 95-96 season, and it is also the return to the playoffs since '02.

I didn't expect to be beaten by 76 people or less, and I was dizzy with a blow to the head.

Going to Philadelphia to fight, the Duolun multimedia wailed.

I can win.

Hope is almost nil.

Moreover, there is a good chance that they will be swept by the 76ers, and the next two away games will be even tougher.

.......

Philadelphia.

Wachovia Center Arena.

In the general manager's office, the general manager, Billy Jin Chunfeng, was proud and smiling.

A document written in black and white was handed over to Wang Mingming.

"The head coach is renewing his contract?"

At the end of this season, Wang Tomorrow regained his free body, in fact, as early as the end of the season, Billy King asked to meet with Wang Tomorrow for a general manager contract extension.

But then Wang led his team to Toronto tomorrow, and this matter was delayed.

Now back at home, Billy King immediately welcomed Wang into the office tomorrow.

In the office, in addition to Billy King, there is one more person.

Brian Roberts.

The entire stake of 76ers belongs to Comcast Networks, Inc., a well-known provider of cable, broadband and IP telephony services in the United States, the largest cable television company in the United States, and the second largest Internet service provider in the United States.

In 02, Comcast founder Ralph Roberts had decided to leave the company's affairs to his children, and his son Brian Roberts became the CEO of Comcast, so he naturally became the first owner of the 76ers and had the highest decision-making power.

Wang doesn't know Brian Roberts tomorrow.

But Roberts stood up enthusiastically and high-fived Wang Mingming and hugged him.

"Boss!"

Only then did Wang Mingming know that the young man in front of him, who looked to be in his thirties, turned out to be the owner of the 76ers.

"I have seen the hard work of the past six months and the changes of the 76ers........ Brian Roberts said some words to commend Wang Mingming, and attending Wang Mingming's contract renewal also shows his attention and recognition of Wang Mingming.

"$2.5 million a year, 4-year contract?"

The contract offered by Billy King is a long-term contract, and after 4 years, Wang will be exactly 30 years old tomorrow.

The price has basically reached the standard line of NBA head coaches, compared with stars with tens of millions of annual salaries, the head coach's salary is indeed much cheaper, and the contract of 2.5 million is considered a mini middle class in the current NBA.

"It's been too long......."

"Too long?"

"It's too long, it's not suitable."

"How long should that be?"

"Two years, right?"

Wang raised two fingers tomorrow and took the initiative to ask for a short contract time, which is still a minority in the history of NBA coaches.

Under normal circumstances, the head coach will try to sign a contract with the team for a long time, even if the results of the team are not good at that time, the team will be dismissed, and there will be some compensation, which is short and riskier to get out of class.

Billy King and Brian Roberts were dumbfounded.

Brian Roberts laughed and patted Billy King on the shoulder, "You said this kid is a different person, I didn't believe it at first, but now that I look at it, it's really extraordinary." ”

"Isn't it possible?" Wang Ming frowned, if the team had to renew the long-term contract, what should he do?

Billy King subconsciously wanted to answer that of course no, if you sign for a few years, you can sign for a few years, and it is not a deed of sale for ten years or eight years.

However, the boss Brian Roberts has agreed: "Okay, two years is two years, the basic salary amount on this contract is completely unchanged, and the bonus treaty, you can study it carefully." ”

Wang Ming took a closer look.

Bonus: $10,000 for leading the team to win the top eight in the regular season, $50,000 for leading the team to win the first place in the division during the regular season, $100,000 for leading the team to win the first place in the division in the regular season, and $200,000 for leading the team to win the first place in the league in the regular season. In the playoffs, you will get $50,000 for the first round, $100,000 for the second round, $150,000 for the division finals, and $200,000 for the championship.

Winnings can be stacked without conflicting with each other.

It means that Wang can get a maximum of 860,000 US dollars tomorrow, which is equivalent to one-third of his salary.

Wang didn't talk nonsense tomorrow, and after reading the contract, he signed the contract.

The three of them stood up and shook hands, looking like the guests and hosts were happy.

Following.

The 76ers officially announced that they will renew the contract of interim head coach Wang Mingming.

The two sides signed a two-year head coaching contract, and Wang will be the head coach in Philadelphia from tomorrow until the summer of '09.

Before, Wang was leading the team as an interim head coach, but now that the contract has been adjusted, he has renewed his contract and truly become the head coach of the NBA.

He also enjoyed the contract and status that a manager should have.

After the official announcement, many players of the 76ers sent their blessings to Wang tomorrow.

Wang's contract extension became a minor episode in the playoffs.

........

The eyes of the fans are still on the field.

April 27th.

The 76ers will host Game 3 against the Raptors.

On the evening of the 26th, Wang drove to Philadelphia University tomorrow.

There was no training on the night before the game, Wang had already arranged all the tactics tomorrow, and it was not very effective to stay in the stadium, the key was to see the situation on the day of tomorrow's game.

Philadelphia University, in the setting sun, stands quietly.

"I smell literature."

Wang Tomorrow came down from the stone pier and smiled and hugged Gal Gadot, who had come to meet him.

Gale had just finished class, and he was still holding two books in his hands, like a scholar.

"Why did you think of coming to me today?"

Gail blushed slightly and asked in a low voice.

Wang Ming patted his head, "Look at my memory!" ”

He took out four tickets from his pocket, "Didn't you ask me to buy tickets before?" It's said that everyone in your dorm is going to come to watch the game, you see, this is tomorrow's game between us and the Raptors, you can come and watch it live! ”

"Huh?"

"Really took four!"

Gail happily took the tickets and found that they were still in the front row for more than $3,000 each, and if there were four, it would cost nearly $10,000!

"It's too expensive, just a regular ticket."

"It's okay, it's all for you, these tickets are nothing!"

Wang Ming waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

Gal Gadot's face turned even redder, and he didn't know if it was because the temperature of the direct sunset was too high, and his face seemed to be imprinted with a layer of red glow.

"And, after all, I can buy discounted tickets! Small money, small money, more cost-effective! ”

Wang Tomorrow answered, triumphant.

Gal Gadot gave Wang Tomorrow a blank look and covered his face.

"Come with me to the school, it's Friday, there are very few students in the school, and many of our classmates live outside."

Gal Gadot took the initiative to invite Wang tomorrow, and the two walked together on the green path of Philadelphia University.

"Then you can live outside, too!"

"There's no need, I'm going to graduate in July, and then I'll make a choice, whether to be a lawyer or continue my acting career."

"Will you stay in the United States?"

"Probably back to Israel."

“........”

"That's ......"
