Chapter 36: The signs are wrong
Chapter 36 is not right
At this time, Cao Jian didn't know that there was a conspiracy that prevented him from entering the alliance smoothly was coming towards him, and after talking to Pekarin on the phone, Cao Jian was really tired, and after taking a bath, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep directly.
The bell hadn't rang the next day, but Pete's phone woke him up directly, Cao Jian pressed the answer button, and just wanted to ask Pete something, Pete spoke directly on the other end of the phone, "Cao." Hurry up, hurry up, watch the news, what the hell is going on? ”
Hearing this, Cao Jian was also confused, what is the situation? However, he also knew that Pete was not a person who was too big or small, so he opened the website and browsed the latest news this year, only to see that a photo of himself on the computer screen made the front page of the news, and with a loud headline:
Is the Chinese kid as amazing as you say? Answer: No.
The article reads:
According to the "Orlando Chronicle": The Cavaliers did not sign a rookie, the Chinese kid Cao Jian, who has an eye-catching performance this season, in the past five summer league games, Cao Jian has contributed an average of 7.8 points, 1.2 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals per game, ranking first in the team in terms of efficiency.
The answer is no.
The reason is simple:
First, the offense is flashy and the defense is weak
Cao Jian is gorgeous on the offensive end, which is undoubted, and his vision is also very broad, especially his passing, which is a trick. But is that enough to become an NBA-caliber player?
No, not enough.
Looking closely at Cao Jian's game, on the defensive end, Cao Jian's performance can be described as garbage. There have been many cases where the opponent has easily held the ball and broken through to score. Among them, the most convincing is the Miami Heat's game, in which he allowed Dwyane Wade, who was opposite him, to score more than 20 points. And, in this battle, there was also a very embarrassing scene for Cao Jian, the opposing player broke through the ball with the air relay, and directly rode Cao Jian to smash the ball into the basket, which was one of the most exciting shots in the game, and Cao Jian had no choice but to become the background board.
This in itself shows that Cao Jian's physical fitness is his hard injury.
It may be fast, but that's the equivalent of some of the bottom players in the league, and it's not enough to get a foothold in the league at his current pace.
In fact, as far as I know, not only me, but also the fans have doubts, and the following is a fan opinion from Orlando:
After all, this kind of mixed game of professional and amateur players in the summer, the defensive intensity is relatively low, and it can even be said that no one is serious about defending, it is understandable that he has this kind of performance, after all, NBA players participate in this kind of game mainly to avoid the "rust" of the body in the summer, if Cao Jian is given a change of environment, whether Cao Jian's body and bones can adapt to the intensity of the NBA, this is a question.
Second, physical fitness is not good.
He is a Chinese.
Fundamentally, Chinese represent a natural lack of physical fitness. Maybe many people will talk about Yao Ming, who is the Houston rocket, but there is only one Yao Ming in China.
There is also the fact that Yao Ming is an inside player, and his biggest advantage is his height.
……
After reading this article, Cao Jian didn't get angry but laughed, even Roger himself had to admit that the problems explained in this article were also the problems he was worried about, and he couldn't help but sigh that Tom admired this article very much, and thought: This guy knows me better than himself?
He also thought of the question, why did Pete let himself read this article? A flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I thought to myself: Will the matter of signing my contract be affected by this article?
Although there are many teams rushing to get themselves, haven't they all signed yet? This is a problem for Cao Jian, who is bent on entering the alliance.
This article will not really affect the judgment of other teams, but it will undoubtedly affect Cao Jian when he asks for a price from the team, and many teams may also use this to suppress their own prices.
Mixed in the league, who doesn't want more money, after all, athletes eat youth, not in the early years, get more salary, who will support themselves if they can't play in the future.
Cao Jian instinctively thought of these questions.
Although success is very important to him, when he does not succeed, it is a more real problem to consider the consequences of failure than to think about what will happen after success.
In his previous life, Cao Jian had read such a report, and there was such a paragraph in it, which impressed him deeply, and he wrote in the article:
In the league, there is a group of people who play for a certain team, but they can walk on the street 100 meters away from the home stadium without sunglasses, and no one looks on to ask for autographs. When the grandmother who doesn't watch the game hears his name, she will kindly ask, "Do you play basketball or football?" "Only die-hard fans who bought season tickets and sneezed a few times on the team, who stole a few cans of Coke, who skipped a few training sessions, and whose new car was scraped are all about to know about them...... Well, they're the real bottom players in the NBA:
They have very few sneaker contracts and almost no advertising. They don't have luxury cars and are terrified of where their next contract is. As the trade deadline approached each year, they stared at their phones, waiting for their agent or team to tell them they had made another addition, and that they had been delivered to another city like goods. They don't pick the weather, they don't pick their teammates, they don't complain about the league, they just think about the next contract. They are the bottom of the NBA pyramid.
Even if Cao Jian is a traverser, plus the assistance of the system, he does not have such a sense of superiority, and the middle-aged uncle who has lived for decades instinctively thinks of these problems.
He didn't want to be like that.
But this report pushed Cao Jian in that direction.
Thinking of this, Cao Jian's vest was also shocked into a cold sweat.
This is a serious problem, and if you don't look forward, it's nothing, but if you think about it carefully, it's a big problem.
But a player's first contract is extremely important for every player in the league.
This is because your salary will be increased on top of your first contract, and there is a rule in the league that the amount of money you will increase in the second year is between 10% and 15% in the first year.
For example, if Cao Jian can get $1 million in the first year, then the maximum salary Cao Jian can get in the second year is only $1.15 million. The third year is also increased on this basis.
Correspondingly, if Cao Jian can get $2 million in the first year, then Cao Jian can get up to $2.3 million in the second year, and the third year will also increase on this basis.
In this way, in a few years, the salary that Cao Jian can get will be several times lower, and the root cause of the salary gap between players and players is also here.
Cao Jian is not worried about the impact of this report on his contract, he is worried that he will lose his salary. Knowing the seriousness of the problem, Cao Jian also calmed down, now the situation has not happened, it is just a symptom, he must find a way to solve this problem, the first thing he thought of was the agent Pelinka.
Pelinka is a super-level agent, maybe he has a solution.
