After Chen Zhi finished sending the message, he put down his mobile phone to pack his things and was about to go to the hotel front desk to check out.

Zhou Jian pondered for a long time about the message sent by Chen Zhi, and really couldn't understand what medicine Chen Zhi was selling in the gourd, so he simply called directly.

"Chen Dao, what did you mean by that text message just now?"

When I connected the phone, I heard Zhou Jian's voice full of doubts.

"That's what it literally means! You don't have to deal with the agent named Fagan, and then you are ready to go to the United States after the draft, is there anything you don't understand? Chen Zhi asked puzzled.

"I don't know!" Zhou Jian couldn't help but be speechless when he heard this, and then roared, "I'm asking you, why did you go to the United States after the draft!" Why not go early! What more important thing do you have these days than the draft? ”

"I want to accompany the old man and the old lady at home!" Chen Zhi said as a matter of course.

"Accompany the elderly... I! Zhou Jian was choked up when he heard this.

Chen Zhi couldn't help but smile when he heard Zhou Jian's words, and then told the truth: "Brother Zhou, in fact, I'm waiting to become a loser!" ”

"Draft-loser?"

Zhou Jian was even more stunned than just now when he heard this!

"You mean, you're waiting to be a draft loser?"

Zhou Jian was a little suspicious of his ears, and couldn't help repeating again.

"That's right, be a draft loser!" Chen Zhi replied in the affirmative.

"Becoming an undrafted pick? Then what are you going to do in the United States? Zhou Jian was a little confused about Chen Zhi's logic.

"Let's go play basketball! Mr. Broker! Chen Zhi said with a smile.

"Are you sure you're going to play basketball in the United States instead of traveling? If you want to play basketball, you have to go to the United States early to find an opportunity to be selected by the NBA team! ”

Zhou Jian still didn't figure out what was going on in Chen Zhi's head, and he even wondered if Chen Zhi's head was rusty.

"There's no need to go now." Chen Zhi's tone was very flat, which made his words more real and credible, "It's not good to be chosen." ”

"Isn't it good to be chosen? Why is it bad to be chosen? ”

Zhou Jian really felt that Chen Zhi's brain might be malfunctioning, and this short conversation was about to subvert his perception of Chen Zhi's past.

"Even if you become a second-round show, it's better than losing the draft, right?" Zhou Jian felt that it was too difficult for him to talk to Chen Zhi, how could Chen Zhi's words completely go against common sense!

"No, once selected, the signing rights are limited to a certain NBA club, and if you lose the draft, you will directly become a free agent, and the signing rights are not restricted." Chen Zhi explained.

"No restrictions on signing?"

When Zhou Jian heard this, he thought for a while, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.

The NBA draft looks like it's picking players, but it's actually choosing the signing rights of players.

Once a team selects a player with their picks, all 29 other NBA basketball clubs lose the right to sign that player.

However, the selected player may not be willing to land in the NBA, or be unwilling to sign with the club that selected him, unless the club waives the signing rights, no other NBA club can sign the player for three years.

So, NBA draft picks are actually getting exclusive signing rights for players.

Players who fail to participate in the NBA draft will automatically become free agents, and free agents can sign with any NBA club if there is no such restriction.

Although the right to sign is indeed unrestricted as Chen Zhi said, this does not seem to be the point of the problem! Zhou Jian pondered for a while, and he felt that something was wrong!

"Are you sure it's an advantage to not be restricted in signing in the draft? Losing the job basically means that no one wants to sign with you! What's the use of signing up without restrictions? ”

Zhou Jian finally knew why he had so much trouble chatting with Chen Zhi!

The premise of the conversation between this guy and himself just now is that he can easily enter the NBA, and he is still a hot item!!

Chen Zhi's self-confidence really made Zhou Jian a little confused, it is said that Chen Zhi should know a lot about his draft situation!

He is now in a situation where no one wants him at all, how can he still become a sought-after commodity in his heart!

Wrong! Zhou Jian immediately realized that this was not the case!

Chen Zhi really knows his draft market very well, otherwise he would not say that he is waiting to become a draft loser, can it be said that Chen Zhi has any certainty that the NBA team will definitely sign him?

That's not right, if you're so sure, wouldn't it be better to go straight into being a first-round pick? That means at least two years of guaranteed contracts and a lot of money!

You must know that there is a "rookie contract" in the NBA, which not only stipulates the contract method of 2+1+1 for all 30 first-round picks, that is, a two-year guaranteed contract and a two-year team option, but also stipulates the standard contract amount that each pick-up player can get in this contract, the higher the standard amount.

The amount of money a team can offer in the actual signing can only fluctuate by 20% above the standard amount, but even the 30th pick can get a much higher salary than the base salary that a second-round pick usually gets, not to mention the poor short-term and non-guaranteed contracts that are low.

Zhou Jian was very confused about Chen Zhi's choice, and he should know about these Chen Zhi, after all, he had been learning about the NBA draft for a long time.

"Brother Zhou, you just listen to me, arrange the work at hand, and accompany me to the United States, it's so decided, I'll hang up the phone if there's nothing else!"

Chen Zhi didn't explain much to Zhou Jian. Even if he directly told him that his current self is no longer what he used to be, like Curry and Thompson, he has joined the Ritian family and is an existence that can shoot a piece of the sky with a three-point shot, he will not believe it, and when he sees himself in the future, it goes without saying that he will understand.

It's also a surprise for him!

"Don't hang up yet! The country of rice is not something you can go to if you want to! As soon as Chen Zhi wanted to hang up the phone, he heard Zhou Jian shouting.

"Didn't you get your passport a long time ago?" Chen Zhi asked puzzled.

"I still need a visa after my passport is ready!" Zhou Jian was speechless, "Huaxia can't go to the United States for a visa on arrival, and the visa for the first time to the United States must go to the embassy for an interview!" You're in Chenjiatuan now, right? I'll go to you tomorrow, and we'll get the visa in advance first. ”

Chen Zhi has no common sense in this regard at all, he has always thought that he can go abroad with a passport!

This is also the reason why Chen Zhi must take Zhou Jian, Zhou Jian has been abroad for many years, has rich experience, and has enough understanding of the United States and the NBA league, at least he will not let himself make some common-sense mistakes, such as not being able to go out of the country...

"By the way, where are you going?" When Zhou Jian was about to hang up the phone, he realized that he didn't know Chen's destination.

"Isn't Joe in Dallas? Let's go to Dallas to find him first, and then go to other cities depending on the situation. Chen Zhi said.

When Zhou Jian heard that he was going to Dallas to find Joe, he was speechless! It turns out that Chen Zhi really has no other way!

He suddenly felt that this trip might really turn into a trip to Millican with Chen Zhi...

Yes, the champion is nothing!! Let's be a x-breaking draft!!
