Chapter Ninety-One: The New "First Brother"

It took him 9 months to go from a young man who was new to basketball to a player in the CBA professional basketball club.

In the past 9 months, Gao Dazhuang has experienced the joy of success, but also tasted the taste of failure, felt the friendship of brothers, and also pursued his own love, basketball has gradually become the main theme in Gao Dazhuang's life.

In order to celebrate the signing of the Shanghai Shark Club, Gao Dazhuang and Yang Kai came to the Huangpu River that night.

The two landmark buildings of the Oriental Pearl and the Xinmao Building stand beside the river, and a pile of "Suntory" brand beer has been piled up around Gao Dazhuang and Yang Kai.

"This is the Huangpu River", blowing the wind to appreciate the gorgeous neon on the other side, feeling the ten-mile ocean field, under the guidance of alcohol, tall and strong, I couldn't help humming the theme song of "Shanghai Beach" "Waves run, waves, thousands of miles of waves and rivers never stop......".

"Success, failure, I can't see the ...... in the waves" Yang Kai couldn't help but hum along with the tall man.

"Shanghai, here we come" In the end, Yang Kai yelled excitedly at the Huangpu River after draining a bottle of beer, he was venting his emotions.

Gao Dazhuang also knew how difficult it was for Yang Kai to get to the present, he walked up to Yang Kai and said: "We will create our own miracle in this great city."

"Thank you, Da Zhuang, it will be my honor to fight side by side with you," Yang Kai said with a little excitement.

"It's my pleasure too, brother," said the tall feat, holding up the beer bottle in his hand.

……

It's great to be able to play with his best brother, but in the end, Gao Dazhuang chose to join the Shanghai Sharks Basketball Club, Yao Ming was a crucial part of it, and he gave a reason why Gao Dazhuang couldn't refuse.

Since he has chosen the path of professional basketball, he wants to be the best he can be, and the NBA is where he can truly achieve his dream.

And Yao Ming has the experience of competing in the NBA as a "champion show" and won the glory of seven All-Stars.

Moreover, the Shanghai Sharks Basketball Club has carried out a series of reforms since Yao Ming became the owner, introduced the advanced management concept of the NBA, greatly enhanced the welfare of players, and offered very generous treatment to particularly outstanding players.

This time, in order to sign with Gao Dazhuang, the Shanghai Sharks Basketball Club provided Gao Dazhuang with a "yin and yang contract" that only star players enjoy.

The so-called yin-yang contract refers to the signing of two or more contracts with different contents, one for the internal and the other external, of which the external one is not the true intention of both parties, but for the purpose of circumventing a certain system; The internal part is the true intention of both parties.

The external contract signed by the Shanghai Sharks Basketball Club with Gao Dazhuang, like other members of the CBA youth team, is relatively low, and it can even be said that it is harsh, and Yang Kai signed this kind of contract.

Because many people enter the youth team to have a good future, here is more about training and growth, so the management is very strict, but the salary is not high.

But Yao Ming took a fancy to Gao Dazhuang's potential, and in order to retain talents, Shanghai Sharks Basketball Club made an exception to provide Gao Dazhuang with a "yin contract" that only star players enjoy.

In this hidden contract, the tall and strong will receive a monthly salary of more than five figures during his time in the youth team, in addition to a large signing fee, and the salary will be greatly doubled when the tall and strong enter the first team.

In addition, there are many special clauses in the contract in favor of the player, among which there is the most important thing for tall and strong - freedom.

In other words, when Tall and Strong has the opportunity to enter a higher league, the club not only cannot stop it, but also has the obligation to support it.

Yao Ming is a "man who has come over", he is well aware of the appeal of this clause to talented players, and thinks that even when Yao Ming played in the NBA, he was forced to pay a certain percentage of his personal income to the Chinese Basketball Association every year.

It is precisely because of so many clauses to protect players that Gao Dazhuang saw the sincerity of the club and felt Yao Ming's appreciation, and finally decisively decided to sign a contract with Shanghai Sharks Basketball Club.

After signing the contract, Yang Kai and Gao Dazhuang asked the club for a week off to handle personal affairs.

On the train, Gao Dazhuang reported his recent situation to Coach Wang Huaiyu of the national youth team, Coach Wang Huaiyu regretted that Guangdong Hongyuan Club lost Gao Dazhuang, but he also felt that Gao Dazhuang would get more opportunities in Shanghai, and looked forward to Gao Dazhuang being able to compete in the CBA as soon as possible, and exchanged some information about the national youth team with Gao Dazhuang.

After Gao Dazhuang and Yang Kai returned to school, they immediately told Coach Liu Qing and his teammates about the signing of the contract, and under the leadership of Teacher Zhou Na, they went through the relevant procedures for retaining their student status.

At this moment, Gao Dazhuang is no longer a college student, but a professional basketball player registered with the Basketball Association.

Of course, all the coaches and players of the Hunan University basketball team held a dinner party for Gao Dazhuang and Yang Kai, although the teammates of the Hunan University basketball team were very reluctant to leave their trump card - "freshman twin stars", but still sent the most sincere blessings to them.

Life must be happy, that day the tall and strong for the first time in his life drunk, happy drunk.

In the next few days, Gao Dazhuang took the summer to his hometown in Xiangxi to explain his choice to his parents.

The purpose of Gao Dazhuang taking the summer home is to better convince the old man, and sure enough, the tall and strong parents are no longer entangled in the choice of the tall and strong after seeing the handsome little girl in the summer.

Of course, after this experience, Summer also officially became a tall and strong girlfriend.

After leaving a batch of money for his family, Gao Dazhuang left the small mountain village again and embarked on a journey, this time not for study, but for his basketball dream.

After taking care of their personal affairs, Gao Dazhuang and Yang Kai returned to the club on time to report and started normal training to prepare for the upcoming National Youth League organized by the Basketball Association.

After Yao Ming took over the Shanghai Sharks Basketball Club, he brought not only the NBA's management philosophy, but also the NBA's coaching team, with first-team head coach Daniel Panagio and youth team head coach Todd Trocksay both American coaches, as well as several American assistant coaches.

Youth team head coach Todd Trockse was very pleased that the club was able to sign Gao Da Zhuang, and during Gao Da Zhuang's absence, Coach Todd began to comprehensively analyze and understand Gao Da Zhuang's situation.

In fact, Coach Todd originally joined Shanghai Sharks Basketball Club as a personal trainer, he is currently one of the best individual trainers in the world, and many NBA players have trained with him before the draft, including the team's current owner, Yao Ming.

Therefore, Coach Todd fully demonstrated his professionalism and formulated a detailed and high-intensity personal training plan for Gao Dazhuang.

In the first few days of practice, even the tall and strong who have always been full of physical fitness felt unbearable, and the other players of the youth team who watched it on the side smacked their tongues.

However, Gao Dazhuang originally trained with Coach Aaron McCarthy of the Parklane Basketball Club, and later received training from Coach O'Connor in the "Yi Jianlian Basketball Training Camp", so Gao Dazhuang is no stranger to the training methods and methods of American coaches, and quickly adapted to Coach Todd's style.

In normal times, the coach may not manage your private life much, but you must give your best on the training field, which is also a quality that a professional player should have.

In addition, in the youth team of a professional club, the players are not only teammates, but also competitive, because it is the dream of every youth team player to enter the first team as soon as possible, and this opportunity to "leap into the dragon gate" needs them to compete.

But fortunately, Gao Dazhuang fully demonstrated his strength in that practice match, and the team's original "first brother" Zhai Yi and Gao Dazhuang became "iron buddies", and after training every day, Zhai Yi and Gao Dazhuang's "bullfighting" became a reserved program on the training ground.

To the surprise of other players, Zhai Yi has not yet won the "ten goals" heads-up with Gao Dazhuang, who is also crushing Zhai Yi in terms of the physical fitness that he is most proud of.

But fortunately, Zhai Yi has a "strong" heart, and he has been defeated and defeated repeatedly.

Moreover, after a few days of training, Gao Dazhuang believes that the strength of the youth team of Shanghai Sharks Basketball Club will not be absolutely stronger than that of the basketball team of Huaqiao University, and the gap between the youth team of the professional basketball club and the CUBA team is not as big as imagined.

As CUBA's strongest MVP in recent years, Gao Dazhuang's own strength is the most top-notch even in the youth team of professional clubs, otherwise Gao Dazhuang would not have attracted the attention of team owner Yao Ming and the favor of Coach Todd.

Therefore, the other players of the youth team of Shanghai Big Shark Basketball Club are particularly friendly to Gao Dazhuang, and even respectful, after all, competitive sports, everything speaks with strength.

As the new "first brother" of the youth team of Shanghai Sharks Basketball Club, Gao Dazhuang quickly determined the position of the core of the team, and Yang Kai also entered the team's main lineup by virtue of his good tacit understanding with Gao Dazhuang.

A month later, the youth team of Shanghai Big Shark Basketball Club embarked on the journey of the National Youth League, which will also be Gao Dazhuang's debut at Shanghai Big Shark Basketball Club.
