Chapter 90: Naturalization
Put it like this a few months ago, who would dare not pass the ball when you clap your hands, heh! I didn't expect to meet someone who didn't give himself face today.
If it is a good-tempered player like Totoro, he will not have a seizure on the court, but he will definitely go to the coach and general manager to nag off the court, and if you encounter a bad-tempered core player like Kobe and O'Neal, they will immediately call a timeout and let you go back to the bench......
But Durant is not the kind of hard-nosed player, he doesn't even say anything, Du Shubao as the core of the Thunder team since his rookie season has been cultivating, but he has not imprinted his temperament on the Thunder team, the unique boss of the Thunder team has become the second less Thunder, and finally it has become the third less Thunder, Wei Shao and Harden's status is slowly equal to Durant, the real core, and Durant defected to the Warriors before Totoro crossed, opening the new giant mode of "since I can't beat you, join you", has made many fans feel that Durant does not have a strong heart at all.
If James opened the mode of the peak superstar huddle and made many fans ashamed, then Durant, an enemy who joined the Western Conference Finals to defeat him, is even more so, and when Lao Zhan left, he left 5 draft picks for the Cavaliers, and he at least left the future to the parent team, and when Du Shao left, the Thunder team could be said to have not even caught a hair, which is too ruthless for a team that has been playing for 9 years.
If you resign normally, you have to make a resignation report a few weeks in advance, so that the company can arrange the manpower to replace your position, but the schoolbag Du left so suddenly, and after becoming a free agent, he said he would leave, so that the entire 16-17 season of the Thunder team was completely deserted, and the task of the whole team for a season became to let Megatron brush the data, and the playoffs were also the first round of hasty ending, if you just look at Megatron's average of 30 + triple-doubles per game + 42 triple-doubles in a single season, they are not a special failure, But from a team perspective, the Thunder are already drifting away from their championship goal..........
On the other hand, on the side of the Rockets, no one dares not to look at Totoro's face, the first bird Artest has completely demonstrated the ending of the "rebellion" to others, and the rest of the players are naturally a lot of settlers, Totoro relied on a lot of ball possession, and before the end of the game, he brushed out a 26+11+10 triple-double.
In the last game, he has surpassed the little emperor to become the youngest 30+ Mr. in NBA history, and this game made a triple-double, and now domestic fans have regarded Totoro as the future worship of Chinese basketball, and major domestic commercial contracts have smashed on Totoro's head, forced by the pressure of domestic fans, the Chinese Basketball Association has recently increased its efforts to plan Totoro, and they even sent the little giant as a lobbyist to persuade Totoro to change his nationality.
My neighbor Totoro itself is still very happy to return to his home country, but there is a little problem with the tax issues that he will hand over to the Basketball Association after planning the Basketball Association.
Chinese athletes have to pay taxes to the General Administration of Sport of China, which is a regulation for all sports, not only basketball, but also table tennis, football, and badminton.
China is divided into two kinds of players in the system and players outside the system, to put it simply, the players in the system are cultivated by the state, the degree of personal freedom is very low, the signing of contracts and transfers or anything must be in accordance with the country's standards, and of course the tax is paid more, while the players outside the system are slightly freer.
A serious player in the system like Yao Ming is said to have to hand over 50% of his annual salary to the Basketball Association, what is the difference between this TM and Ming grabbing?
As for Totoro, a player born and raised in the United States, the Basketball Association thought about it, and finally was embarrassed to ask for 50% of Totoro's annual salary, and put forward a slightly reserved figure of 20% that they thought was fair.
When the little giant and Totoro talked about this, the beautiful agent Bu Jiayi also sat next to Totoro, and when he heard Da Yao say a share in a dark and complicated way, Bu Jiayi refused without thinking about it.
Just kidding, others invite big-name players to join with the promise of benefits, that's called real invitation, recruitment, but why do we have to pay an entrance fee to join the Basketball Association? What kind of hospitality is this?
Of course, for such an important matter, the agent can't be the master, Totoro thought about it, and finally rejected the kindness of the Basketball Association.
It's not so much about money that's worrying about him, it's about his development in the NBA.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that although My Neighbor Totoro has the same skin color as the little giant, he has not enjoyed Yao Ming's body hair foul blowing punishment, and even sometimes leans towards him a little, the most fundamental reason is that their identities are different.
If Totoro returns now, he doesn't know if he can become a star in the NBA, but at least the league won't promote him, the referees won't take care of him, and his American fans won't be supporting him.
The role of Chinese fans is very large, and there are many people, but after all, the NBA is a professional league in the United States, and no matter how many Chinese fans you have, I am afraid that it will not be as heavy as their own fans.
So Totoro he has already planned.
He won't plan now, and of course he won't go to other countries' national teams to play in those international competitions, he's going to play in the NBA first, anyway, he's still young.........
When he wins a triple championship in the NBA and creates a new dynasty, he will return to his home country, at that time he was still at the end of his peak at the age of 30, and he has accumulated a certain amount of popularity in the NBA.
