Chapter 170: New Contract

Yes, it was a pass, Jiang Yang aimed at it for a long time, but he still didn't shoot, because he found that there was still a lot of time now.

If he throws himself, whether he scores or not, he will leave the opponent about 14 seconds or so to attack, which Jiang Yang does not want to see, so at the last moment he passed the ball and directly distributed the ball to the bottom corner to the captain Pierce.

After Pierce received the ball, the time had already come to ten seconds, and after he aimed for two seconds, he shot directly!

The players were all attracted to the top of the arc by Jiang Yang, and it was impossible for them to appear by Pierce's side in a short period of time.

That's why Pierce will shoot with confidence, push the basketball in his hand, and the basketball slowly flies to the basket...... 'brush!' It was so light and brittle that the basketball didn't even touch the basket and fell directly into the net.

"Paul Pearce!" Looking at this goal, the DJ on the scene could only sigh helplessly, there was really no way to do this ball, and at this time, the two people in the TNT comment bench were also surprised, because neither of them thought that the game would be like this, originally without Garnett and Rondo, they all thought that maybe the Celtics were not the opponents of the Hawks.

But now, they have found more and more that this Celtic is really powerful! Especially Jiang Yang, a rookie.

"Jiang Yang really gave me a big shock, at such a critical moment, he can be so calm, first pretending to attract the opposing players to his side, and then passing the ball to Pierce on the bottom line, the passing technique is also extremely perfect! It's really amazing! Looking at Jiang Yang on the field, Kenny Smith couldn't help but applaud, this pass was too powerful.

"Even if I don't like the Chinese, I have to say that this guy is really a bit talented, and it shouldn't be a big problem to mix in the NBA in the future!" Although Buckley didn't want to admit it, Jiang Yang's ball was really good.

If Jiang Yang's ball was not a pass at the last moment, but a shot, he would be scolded no matter whether he scored or not.

If you don't enter, it will be much easier, and you will miss the opportunity to kill, but what if you enter...... If Jiang Yang is the boss of the Celtics, then there will be no problem with this ball, he is responsible and dares to take responsibility! But is Jiang Yang now?

He's just a miscellaneous substitute in the Celtics, so if he comes to this kind of key ball by himself, no matter whether Pierce is comfortable or not, at least the outside media will give him the title of ambitious Bobo, which is a bit unacceptable to Jiang Yang.

Of course, Jiang Yang didn't think so much about it during the game, now Jiang Yang is like a blank sheet of paper, he doesn't know much about the dark side of these people's hearts, he just thinks that he may not be sure to throw the ball, and it will leave too much time for the opponent, so he made a shooting feint, and then passed the ball to Pierce after deceiving them.

Pierce's goal was scored very crisply, and at this time, Celtic officially erased the score.

94-93, the Celtics took a one-point lead, and the time left for the Hawks was only 3.7 seconds left, and Joe Johnson missed a shot in the last 3.7 seconds to give the victory to the Celtics at home! Today Pierce was the MVP of the whole game.

Pierce contributed a total of 21 points, 5 rebounds, 6 steals, yes, 6 steals, and no assists.

Perkins had 15 points and 14 rebounds in the game, and Rashid Wallace had 11 points and 4 rebounds today. Maybe this has something to do with the fact that he basically floats on the outside! Look at Lewis's rebounding and not being strong.

Ray Allen scored 15 points today, shot 3 of 7 three-pointers, and the ** of the battle was not very high, on the other hand, Jiang Yang, Jiang Yang played very well today! Jiang Yang had another double-double in the game, scoring 18 points and 11 assists.

No one on the bench scored a double-double, the highest scorer was Eddie House, who scored 7 points, this is the end of the confrontation with Crawford, he was beaten and he was almost out of confidence, this guy's offense is too ruthless!

On the other hand, the Hawks' score was much more average, with six players scoring in double figures, with the highest score being Crawford's 18 points.

The next Mike Biby is 17 points, but he only has 7 assists, at least on the court, Mike Biby did lose to Jiang Yang, Marvin Williams 11 points, Joe Johnson is really miserable today, first was defended by Pierce, and then defended by Ray Allen, the shooting rate is not high, the full-court shooting rate is 5 of 16, the three-point shot is good 4 shots 2 of 2, scored 12 points, two inside lines are the main offensive points of the Hawks today, Al Horford scored 16 points and 10 rebounds on 7 of 10 shots, Josh Smith had 15 points and 11 rebounds on 7-of-12 shooting, and if it weren't for Jiang Yang's final pass, which caused Pierce to shoot a key three-pointer, the best of the game might have been chosen from between the two.

But alas, there is no if! The Celtics eventually won the game 94-93 and continued to lead the league!

Then the Celtics will go to Toronto to play the Raptors on the tenth, and after playing this away, the Celtics will return to the home court to play the Hawks, it is estimated that this time the Hawks should be wary of Jiang Yang, this is not a good game!

What made Jiang Yang extremely excited was that because of the pass at the last moment of the game, Jiang Yang's pass was also upgraded to A- after the game, so that all of Jiang Yang's surnames had reached A-, and the offense had reached A-.

Now Jiang Yang can say that no matter which team he goes to for interviews and training, there will be no problem, and it is completely OK to stay in the NBA.

And when he played the Raptors next, Jiang Yang, who had been overloaded physically, finally broke through his physical fitness!

Against the Raptors, the Celtics are very advantageous, they actually have to be careful who they play, but playing the Raptors and Timberwolves is really very feeling, just like today, the Celtics were very slow in the first few games, but today they played quite a fire storm at the beginning, and in the opening 1 and a half minutes, they even scored 10 points and led the Raptors 10-0.

After that, in the process, the Celtics slowly opened up the difference, although they did not have a particularly high height, but at the end of the first quarter they were still ahead of the opponent by as many as 8 points, Jiang Yang's pass was like a scalpel and could always be sent to the most critical position, at the end of the second quarter of the game, the 8 points became 13 points, and in the third quarter, the difference had become 17 points, and the Raptors did not give up, chasing the score to only 6 points with 4 minutes left in the game, At the critical moment, after Jiang Yang grabbed a very important offensive rebound, he passed Perkins, who hit the shot, and then Jiang Yang and Pierce scored one after another, and a wave of 6-0 quickly opened the score, and then Bosh was blown off the game The sixth will from the foul, six fouls left, and although Jack hit a three-point whistle, the Raptors still lost the game 107-119, facing the Celtics seven consecutive defeats, and now they are losing at all, they have lost too badly!

From December 25th to play magic, to today, Jiang Yang has played a total of eight games, 7 of which are starts, with an average playing time of 25.1 minutes, originally Jiang Yang's physical strength is exhausted in the top 20 minutes, this is still without considering playing back-to-back, and now Jiang Yang plays 25.1 minutes per game, and then goes back to rest and recover, and the physical strength increases quite quickly! Finally when playing the Raptors, Jiang Yang had a ball, carried it hard with Bosh, grabbed the key rebound, and then passed the ball to Perkins, it was that ball that allowed Jiang Yang's physical fitness to break through, from A- to A-level!

After reaching the A level, Jiang Yang obviously felt that his physical strength had increased by more than a little bit!

Jiang Yang is like this, when he usually trains, no matter how hard he trains, it won't have any effect, but a breakthrough!

It's like changing the whole body, all the abilities have been greatly improved! Strength, speed, agility, explosive power, the current Jiang Yang can be said to compete with those white players, he will not suffer at all, and he will definitely not suffer a loss in the face of Mike Bibby, and the current Jiang Yang can finally compete with those defenders in the league.

The top scorer in the game was the Raptors' Bosh, who finished with 31 points and 13 rebounds on 9-of-17 shooting.

Banjani finished with 23 points but only five rebounds, and shot 4-of-7 from three-point range to sharp, but you're an inside...... Is it useful to run outside and shoot three-pointers and not come back to protect the rebound? It's just a piece of waste.

Jack also scored 15 points, but there were only a pitiful 4 assists, Turkoglou is now staying in Toronto is getting more and more awkward, today he shot only 2 of 9 from the field, got 5 points, 9 assists, although there are 9 assists, but the score is too poor, he still slowly began to not attract Toronto fans, and now he is almost not booing him!

The Celtics were much more amiable, with six players on the team scoring double-doubles, the highest scoring was the roaring Tianzun who had been holding back several games, Rasheed Wallace, shot 9 of 12 from the field, shot 5 from 7 three-point shots, scored a team-high 29 points, plus 8 rebounds, and became the first firepower point of the Celtics today, Perkins scored 16 points, Paul Pierce also scored 16 points, Ray Allen still scored 16 points, and Eddie House scored 11 points and was the sixth player to score a double-double.

And Jiang Yang, of course, also scored double-doubles, Jiang Yang scored 22 points and 13 assists in the whole game, and played a 20+10.

The entire basketball world was shaken, Jiang Yang faced Jack, and Jack called a crying dad and mother, and now Jiang Yang is getting more and more powerful, of course, compared with Wade, Kobe, Paul, etc., they are still more than one level worse than these super-first-class guards.

But compared with Jack, TJ Ford, and Dujon of the Knicks, these bland first-line point guards are not much worse physically, and he has a significant advantage in height, and he can also hit opponents in height.

After this game, the Celtics' general manager's office has received several calls asking if Jiang is selling! After all, it's already January, and there's just over a month left before the February All-Star break.

Then the trading floor is about to close, and those teams that don't have a good point guard also need to find a good point guard at this time, especially a few teams that may make the playoffs but don't have a good point guard, such as the Lakers, the Heat, and of course, some are interested in the Chinese market behind Jiang Yang, such as the Bucks, the Rockets, the Bucks learned from the Rockets and recruited Yi Jian to the team, but they lost quite a lot, and now they are looking at Jiang Yang of the Celtics!

Now that Jiang Yang is playing well, the Celtics are also afraid of Jiang Yang jumping ship, so after returning to the general manager of the Celtics, Danny Ainge made it clear through Doug Rivers that he wants to renew his contract with Jiang Yang, Jiang Yang's current contract is a trial contract of one year and 33 years, and now fools know that with the market behind Jiang Yang, as well as Jiang Yang's current achievements, there is no problem in signing a middle-class, even tens of millions of contracts, and there are almost no liquidated damages in this contract, So Danny Angie was afraid that Jiang Yang would run away, so he asked Doug Rivers to say tactfully, hoping to sign a new contract with Jiang Yang.

After listening to the head coach's words, the day after returning to the home stadium, Jiang Yang took Zhou Lu to the office of general manager Danny Angie!

"Manager, I'm here!" Jiang Yang knocked on the door, and after getting permission from Danny Angie, Jiang Yang walked in.

Followed by Doug Rivers and Zhou Lu, Doug Rivers as the head coach of the team, of course he must be present at such a critical moment, and now he values Jiang Yang very much, especially recently he feels that Jiang Yang has become stronger again! It's growing so fast!

"Oh, it's all here, sit down!" Danny Angie saw Jiang Yang and them arrive, and immediately stood up, smiling and motioning for them to sit down because there was a game against the Eagles tonight, so Jiang Yang and they were not polite, and explained their intentions straight to the point.

"I want to see the contract first, I don't know if it's okay?" After listening to Jiang Yang's words, Danny Angie also knew that everything must be subject to the contract, thinking of this, he took out two contracts from his drawer with a smile and handed them to Jiang Yang.

After Jiang Yang took the contract, he looked at one by himself, and then handed the other one to Zhou Lu, who also looked at it very seriously.

This time Danny Angie didn't play tricks, Jiang Yang's sales rights and jersey sales rights were signed according to the same treatment as other players, half and half, and the other treatments were basically with the main substitutes, such as Eddie House, Daniels, the same as them, the team will rent a small villa for Jiang Yang, let Jiang Yang live here, if Jiang Yang wants to buy, the team can also come forward, let him fancy the small villa cheaper, all the benefits will not.

However, when they saw the annual salary, Jiang Yang and Zhou Lu's faces turned pale...... Because the above annual salary is really.

"$10.21 million ...... for four years" Looking at the numbers above, Jiang Yang's brows couldn't help frowning...... People are greedy, and Jiang Yang is the same, originally he joined the Celtics for $330,000 a year at the beginning, which was enough fun, after all, he needed this job at the beginning, otherwise there would be no way to sign a labor contract.

So Jiang Yang is also ready to use $330,000 this year to repay the team's care for him, so he has no complaints now.

But when Danny Angie took out this contract, Jiang Yang's face changed...... $10.21 million for four years, although it seems like a lot, an annual salary of $2.5 million per year, but Jiang Yang knows very well that this is definitely not his price.

Of course, this is not the case, the salary in the NBA is increased by 10% of the previous year, that is to say, Jiang Yang's specific salary is as follows, Jiang Yang took $2.2 million in the first year, $2.42 million in the second year, $2.662 million in the third year, and $2.928 million in the fourth year, adding up to a total of $10.21 million, you know, this is the salary situation of the players at the end of the first round, Jiang Yang is now a double-double per game, and he played 20+10 in the last game, is it only worth the end of the first round now?

The salary in the Lexiu area is not comparable, you must know that this year's rookie salary is not high, not compared with the top three, the fourth Tyrek Evans' rookie contract is 16.99 million for four years, and the sixth place in the first round of Jonny Flynn is 13.91 million for four years, at least the annual salary is more than three million, and the salary of Tony Allen in the team is 9.45 million for three years!

In the face of Jiang Yang, he now only gives a contract of more than 2 million yuan per year for one year and four years...... It's a bit ugly.

Doug Rivers looked at Jiang Yang's ugly face, he actually knew what was written on this contract for a long time.

With a four-year contract of 10 million, if it was Jiang Yang at the beginning, it would almost make him crazy!

But now Jiang Yang, who has slowly played his worth, such a contract will not work, the players play for money, the club is good to them, it is indeed possible to make them pay attention, but in the same way, the money must also be enough! At least let the players have no worries.

Now as Doug Rivers knows, several other teams have a lot of salaries! At least twice as much as this contract.

"Jiang, you also know that there is not a lot of salary space in the team now...... So......" Doug Rivers looked at Jiang Yang in front of him and hesitated, he also knew that the salary he gave was too small, so he made up for it in the benefits.

"But this salary ...... Hehe......" Jiang Yang looked at the numbers on it, although he didn't understand, but he would ask!

Whether it is Garnett or Pierce, they all say that the current Jiang Yang is worth a middle class! This statement is true.

Jiang Yang's own strength is now worth a middle class, and what is even more terrifying is Jiang Yang's potential, in less than two months, Jiang Yang has become one of the strongest candidates in the league to compete for the best rookie, and DeRozan was also killed by him.

And don't forget the vast Chinese market behind him, Danny Ainge actually said that the lack of salary space is just a delaying measure, is the salary space on the Lakers' side enough? is also insufficient, but the contract they prepared for Jiang Yang is a three-year mid-class contract of $14.895 million, and the Heat directly prepared a three-year middle-class contract of $16.55 million for Jiang Yang.

The Rocket boss has always been very picky, but even so, he also prepared a three-year contract of $12.57 million for Jiang Yang.

In comparison, the Celtics' four-year, $10.21 million contract is really ugly...... It's hard to see home!
