Don't want to be Jordan's shadow!

Ding Mo'an's words quickly spread to the United States after the show ended. You must know that the name of Jordan's successor and even Jordan's shadow is sought after by many players. Even when Kobe Bryant first debuted, he was also named the second generation of Jordan. Although Kobe Bryant later said that he was only willing to be himself, even now, Kobe Bryant is still compared to Jordan.

In the infinite pursuit of Jordan's successor and other names, Ding Mo'an stood up and said that he was unwilling to become Jordan's shadow, which was undoubtedly a blow to these people. Hot farewell is the atmosphere of today's basketball circle, and after the golden generation of '96, it has changed greatly. Although there are still people who give the basketball stars the title of the second generation, these basketball stars will never want Ding Mo'an to say what they think.

A manifestation of individuality!

In Ding Mo'an, many old fans even felt the extremely strong self-confidence and personality of the players in the eighties and nineties. Therefore, the older generation of fans did not dislike Ding Mo'an's words, but felt that Ding Mo'an's confidence and personality were very recognized: This is the pride of genius's heart! Just be myself!

But most people still criticize Ding Mo'an, thinking that Ding Mo'an should always follow the rules, and you can just do what others call you. When you get your results one day, we'll call you by your real name. As a result, many people began to pay attention, and even maliciously cursed Ding Mo'an's NBA debut as a joke and paid the price for his arrogance.

Therefore, a new wave of storm is brewing, just waiting for Ding Mo'an's NBA debut to break out. But Ding Mo'an, who had flown back to Memphis, did not fight back against these people, because the best way to fight back is to speak with strength, which is Ding Mo'an's life creed. However, Ding Mo'an does not fight back, which does not mean that David. Falck, the agent, does not fight back in a roundabout way.

And the person who fought back for Ding Mo'an was the center of the topic this time and Jordan, who belonged to the same agent as Ding Mo'an. Hear David. Falck wanted to help, and Jordan agreed. In more than a month, he established a friendship with Ding Mo'an, and he also admired Ding Mo'an, who was diligent and hard-working, and had good talent.

This friendship and appreciation made him, the god of basketball, not shy away from coming out to stand up for Ding Mo'an: "Ding is right! Why do some people always like to take someone else's name and put it on other players? Every player must be himself, because this is the sweat that the players usually pay for training and games, the greatest fairness! ”

With Jordan's platform, the criticism generated by Ding Mo'an's words disappeared suddenly, and many reporters who wanted to provoke the relationship between Ding Mo'an and Jordan before also tore up their press releases, what else did this provoke! But the disappearance of the criticism does not mean that the turmoil is over, only when Ding Mo'an shows his strength can he really prove that he has the strength to say this.

At the same time, David. Falke also negotiated Ding's rookie contract with Grizzlies management. But David. Falck, on the other hand, has some sense of talent that cannot be used. Without him, the Grizzlies management is too generous, and the generous offer is the best treatment and the highest salary for the rookie contract!

Even at that moment, David. Falck felt that the NBA was not a business league, but a good church. When did the team owner and team management be so generous, so he couldn't even find a chance to pick a thorn. Actually, David. What Falke doesn't know is that the Grizzlies are really not short of the money for Dingmoan's rookie contract, and the team traded Paul who occupies salary space. After Gasol, the salary cap is even more generous, so there is no need for the Grizzlies to talk to David. Falck baht must be compared.

So after the contract was confirmed, Ding Mo'an and David. Falck came to Grizzly headquarters with General Manager Chris Brown. Wallace personally greeted him warmly, and Ding Mo'an signed the first professional contract in his life! Ding Mo'an's rookie contract is a 3+1 contract, Ding Mo'an can get $4.82 million in the first year, $5.18 million in the second year, $5.55 million in the third year, and a team option of $6.99 million in the fourth year.

Basically, this rookie contract is the highest salary that Ding Mo'an can get now. Wallace is sure that Rose, who is now the champion, gets the same salary as Ding Mo'an. Although Ding Mo'an is two positions worse than Rose, there is still a gap between the champion and Tanhua, but Ding Mo'an is on an equal footing with the champion by virtue of his greater fame and stronger strength than Rose.

Later, the Grizzlies management also announced the official signing of Ding Mo'an through the team's official Twitter, announcing that the hottest and most watched rookie in the summer is already a Memphis person, and no matter how much he has thoughts about Ding Mo'an, he will have to wait until four years later. In the days that followed, the Grizzlies signed with other rookies.

Kevin. Lefou, Mark. Gasol, Batum, this is this year's Grizzlies in the trade and draft. And there is still a long grass period of three months before the start of the NBA regular season. But the NBA doesn't let everyone be so idle, so the summer league composed of various teams is also starting in Las Vegas.

After winning the championship, Ding Moan, who had not played an official game for a long time, also took a flight to Las Vegas with the improvised Grizzlies team. Because it's summer league, most of the Grizzlies' players are still on vacation at this moment, so this year's summer league, the Grizzlies will be the team's rookies, sophomores, and undrafted picks who want to get a contract in the summer league.

This kind of lineup combination is very common in summer league. After all, the reason for holding the Summer League is just to help the team test the rookies or find a little hidden gold. In this summer league in Las Vegas, the Grizzlies have seven games, which are against the Houston Rockets, San Antonio Spurs, Golden State Warriors, Phoenix Suns, Charlotte Bobcats, Washington Wizards, and Denver Nuggets.

On the plane, Grizzly Bears assistant coach Jonny Brown. Davis, who is telling the heart of the team. Naturally, needless to say, the core of the team can make the Grizzlies management directly send away Ding Mo'an, the team boss who was supported, for him.

"Ding, we're going to play seven games. But when you're there, make sure you're not injured and ...... "Jonny. Davis kept admonishing Ding Mo'an for the sake of insurance. Summer League, despite being called the Fishpond League, is the last thing to do is players who want to beat the rookies of the same class with the highest pick and get a contract.

Ding Mo'an said that he knew, and then sat down with Kevin. Next to Lefou. This is the second time Ding Mo'an has been with Kevin. Lefu faced each other, the first time was in the semifinals, Ding Mo'an stepped on the corpse of UCLA and reached the finals.

PS: Having said that, the summer league will be skipped soon. The important thing is the preseason, guess who is going to play against the Grizzlies in the preseason, not the NBA team! Go out and buy some drinks, supper, and code until 8 o'clock tomorrow morning! You guys subscribe, I'll explode!
