Trip to China?

To be honest, Chen An really didn't expect this stubble, he soaked in the team during this time and his mind was full of tactics, team shaping or something, at first glance Zhou Lingan said this, he subconsciously refused, the reason is very simple, the Magic team is a team that has just been rebuilt, and the preseason is also an important run-in period, plus the Magic team has no market and no popularity in China before, and there are no superstars in the team, so I will go to China now, I am afraid it will be thankless.

Looking at Chen An's expression, Zhou Ling'an said, "Don't you agree?" ”

Chen An nodded, expressed the concerns in his heart, but he didn't want Zhou Lingan to smile and said: "You really think too much, you may not know the current domestic pursuit of the Magic team, if this matter is good to live, and the two games ensure Zhu Fangyu's playing time, it will definitely be very popular." ”

Chen An didn't know much about the operation, and he was a little shaken when he heard Zhou Lingan say this, but in the end he didn't give Zhou Lingan an an exact answer, only said that he was looking for Rob. Hennegan deliberated.

The next day, due to Zhou Ling'an's repeated advice before going out, Chen An found Rob as soon as he arrived at the team. Hennigan said about the trip to China, but I didn't expect this guy to be excited when he heard it, so he almost raised his hands and feet in agreement, no way, everyone knows that China is a huge market, this market was occupied by several teams such as the Rockets, Lakers, and Heat, and now the team has signed Zhu Fangyu and used it as a rotation player, which is equivalent to having enough foundation to make a gap in this market and get a piece of the pie.

Rob's exact words are as follows: 'Since you believe that Harden and Lillard can grow into superstars, even if they are not popular enough now, this trip to China may end up losing money, but what about the future?' This trip to China is definitely worth it, not to mention Yao in the middle, Yao is very influential in the NBA and China, I think this trip to China will be very successful. ’

Chen An was not so optimistic, he still felt that the trip to China was too delayed for the magic of reconstruction, but thinking that Zhou Lingan was so eager about this matter, he couldn't unlock a few more poses to get this done, and finally agreed to follow Rob's words and agree with his heart.

After that, Chen An naturally asked Rob to contact him about the trip to China, he was still busy with the coaching staff during the day, and at night he enjoyed Zhou Ling'an's mental and physical services, and the small days were not too moisturized. And during this period, Zhou Ling'an's in-depth interview was also completed, due to Chen An's green light all the way, this interview was quite perfect, and even Harden's personal training camp was interviewed, not to mention Zhu Fangyu in the training camp, who was the protagonist of the protagonist.

Harden's training camp started in late August, and this kind of training camp is not long, at most about ten days, mainly for the offseason players to maintain their size and competitive condition, but this time because Chen An emphasized the importance of three-point shooting to Harden, the training camp also focused on three-point training.

By the time the training camp is over, it is already the beginning of September, and the players have entered the final holiday, because the pre-season training camp of the new season will start at the end of the month, and then the pre-season will start, and the new season will officially start in October.

Zhou Lingan returned to China, and the interview she did has been broadcast on Sina, and the number of clicks and plays is quite high, which has further increased the popularity of the Magic team among domestic online fans, and the most intuitive response is that the number of followers of the Magic team's Baidu Tieba is approaching 500,000.

As for the China trip, Rob and Da Yao's contact is going well, the league has also approved and begun to make relevant arrangements, and Chen An doesn't care too much about the specifics, he only knows that the Magic team is going to play a preseason game with Shanghai Oriental Sharks and Zhu Fangyu's old club Guangdong team.

In a few days, the work of the coaching staff will basically come to an end, the tactical manual will be formulated, and all matters will be basically OK.

Calculating the time, it has been more than two months since he served as the head coach of the Magic team, although the time is not long, but Chen An really deeply feels that it is not easy to be a head coach, especially the head coach of the part-time general manager. There's news from Hennegan's side, Brandon. Roy has officially decided to make a comeback, and now there are already teams throwing an olive branch.

Under such circumstances, Chen An decided to go with Rob to meet Roy in person, the reason why he lowered his style so low was not because of money? This girl can't bear the middle-class contract in her hand after thinking about it, and is determined to use the basic salary to get Roy, this girl is simply fooling.

......

Blue sky and white clouds, high-rise buildings, the first time I came to Portland, which is known as the 'Tearing City', Chen An didn't have any special feelings, but he couldn't help but wonder why this good city was doing the whole 'tearing' title, but Roy was torn apart, Auden was torn apart, and the pioneers deserved to be unlucky.

With such doubts, Chen An and Rob went straight to Roy's home, Roy also attached great importance to this meeting, and invited the two to his house for an interview, which was a good start.

The villa where Roy lives is still quite upscale, right next to the pool in the backyard of the villa, Chen An and Rob met Roy.

"You may be seated."

Roy seemed to be in good shape, with a towel around his neck and beads of sweat on his face, his body looked strong, the muscles in his arms were weak, and he walked like a calf, and he could see that there was any injury.

Looking at Roy's good physical condition, Chen An and Rob. Hennigan couldn't help but glance at each other, and the two understood that Roy was fully prepared for this comeback, and his physical condition was very good, at least on the surface, and the next flicker was not easy.

"I already know the intentions of the two of you, but to be honest, I don't see your sincerity, and I think that if there is no change in the contract, we will have nothing to talk about next."

Different from what he imagined, Roy showed the carriage as soon as he came up, Chen Anxin chuckled, feeling that things were not good, the reason why he hurried over was because the Timberwolves had not yet made a move, after all, compared to the two-year contract of 10 million, even if there is only a guarantee of 4 million, it is much more attractive than the three-year salary contract offered by Chen An.

Roy's situation actually makes Chen An very difficult, he is only 28 years old, counting the last season when he announced his retirement, his years of service in the NBA are only 6 years, which does not meet the standard of veteran contracts, Chen An can only offer a basic salary contract, and because the years are not high enough, the salary of the contract is naturally not high, about 1.07 million in the first year, 1.15 million in the second year, and 1.22 million in the third year.

[The base salary contract is calculated based on the player's years of service in the NBA, and the reason why Zhu Fangyu only had 470,000 in the first season was because his years of service were 0, so the salary was extremely low. 】

The sum of the three years is less than 4 million, so Chen An will rush over as soon as possible to show his greatest sincerity, but Roy's current attitude makes him unsure. Did the Timberwolves do it? No, in order to win Roy, Chen Anke went hand in hand, you must know that the Timberwolves can offer such a contract because the Timberwolves have salary space.
