Chapter 22: Buckley the Big Mouth

If you want to buy a luxury car, first of all, Wang Cannon needs a good contract.

After playing Jazz, Wang Cannon's excellent performance has already told the Heat's uniform team that what he needs is not a 10-day short contract, but a more stable and better contract.

The Heat could wait until the 10-day contract is over before offering another contract, but doing so would risk Wang running to another team.

The Heat couldn't afford to take the risk, so early the next morning, Wang Cannon was invited to Pat Riley's general manager's office, and at the same time, a contract was already placed in front of Wang Cannon .

"Nine million in five years?" Looking at the contract in front of him, Wang Dacang's brows suddenly wrinkled, and looking at the old fox-like Pat Riley, Wang Dacang said with some dissatisfaction: "I said general manager, you are a little unkind." Am I worth more than a million a year? ”

Riley smiled and said: "After you finished the game yesterday, I had an all-night meeting with the uniform team to discuss, your rebounding and defensive ability are indeed very good, but your weaknesses are also obvious, first of all, you are not tall enough, and you will definitely suffer when defending the big man's interior." ”

Wang Dacang pouted, height is indeed his own shortcoming, after all, in the face of many players who are much taller than him, he has to jump up to defend, if the opponent uses a feint, he who has already jumped up will not be able to defend again.

"Secondly, your offensive ability is too weak, far below the NBA standard, you can't score on the court, and you can't share the pressure of the team's offensive firepower." Riley shook his head, "So you're nowhere near as valuable as you think, and a million dollars is pretty good." ”

"Damn!" Wang Cannon knew very well that this girl was pressing his own price, but what he said was really reasonable, and Wang Cannon couldn't refute it. "I won't sign this contract!"

This is simply and concisely, and it also fully reflects Wang Cannon's rogue temperament. "I don't care about anything else, this contract is too bad, if I don't change to one that I am satisfied with, I will play in another team!"

Pat Riley was not in a hurry, smiled slightly, and said lightly: "Then Mr. Wang Cannon, what kind of contract do you want?" ”

"That's it." Wang Cannon was stunned, and suddenly found that he really didn't have any awareness in this regard.

Ten million? That's obviously impossible, let alone 10 million, even 5 million annual salary, the current Heat can't get it, and no one in the Big Three has a salary of 14 million It's not a joke.

"Two million!" Wang Dacang thought about it carefully and offered a price that he was more acceptable, "But I only signed a one-year contract." ”

"A year?" As soon as Pat Riley heard this, he immediately understood Wang Cannon's thoughts, this fat man wanted to brush up on excellent numbers this season and find a bigger contract next season.

"Nine million in three years! What do you think of the price? Pat Riley carefully considered the potential that Wang Cannon has at the moment, gritted his teeth and said the maximum price that the team can afford at the moment. One or two million more is nothing, Pat Riley cares about the length of Wang's cannon's contract, just one year is not enough!

"Just one year!" Wang Cannon knows very well that his defensive ability is definitely worth more than five million, and even if he has no offensive ability, he has a value of more than five million, and it is too wasteful to be trapped in a Miami.

Wang Cannon belongs to the kind of character who will not let go if he recognizes the reason for death, no matter what Pat Riley says, Wang Cannon gritted his teeth and clenched the one-year contract.

The final result, of course, was that Xiucai was unreasonable when he met Bing, and Riley had no choice but to draw up a one-year contract worth 1.8 million.

After signing the contract, Wang Cannon looked very happy, he shook hands with Riley eagerly, and said with a smile: "Happy cooperation." ”

Riley smiled bitterly, what a pleasure, I guess you will be running to another team in a year.

However, this has always been a common problem in the NBA, not only happened to Wang Cannon alone, but Pat Riley, an old fritter who has been in the NBA for decades, naturally knows this principle and has not been entangled for too long.

In this way, Wang Dacang finally finalized the first official contract on his NBA career path, a one-year contract with an annual salary of 1.8 million.

The news of Wang Cannon's completion of the contract renewal was immediately released on the official website of the Heat, which immediately caused heated discussions among many Heat fans.

Wang Cannon's excellent performance against the Jazz against the Heat is seen by many people, and his rebounding dominance on the interior and his strict defense of Jefferson have allowed many people to see the prosperity of the Heat's tough defense.

With the King Cannon! The Heat will have no weaknesses! The 11-year championship is the Heat's!

Many fans have already shouted the Heat's championship announcement.

Of course, there are all things that are won and fallen, and there are many people who are black king cannons, as a player who only plays once, Wang cannon's number jΓΉ is obviously not convincing, many people speculate that Wang cannon is just a flash of inspiration, and soon he will be buried in the sea of NBA players, just like Yi Jianlian in 07, gradually forgotten.

The most solid proponent of this argument is TNT's gold medal basketball commentator, Sir Charles Barkley, known as the Flying Pig.

"A fat man who is no more than 2 meters tall dominates the inside line?" When Barkley heard about Wang Cannon's deeds, he immediately laughed from ear to ear, "Dude, I thought you were talking about my youth." ”

Barkley is an interesting guy, he is only 1.98m tall, but he is a real insider, averaging 20+10 per game in his career. He was also the only player who was less than two meters tall but scored 20,000 points and 10,000 rebounds.

Barkley entered the NBA in the same year as Jordan, and his fame was no weaker than Jordan's, but he tragically did not win a championship ring, and after retiring, he chose to join TNT TV and became an NBA basketball commentator.

Barkley, who is arrogant by nature, has become the first person to ridicule and provoke, he dares to say anything, and he dares to do anything. Perhaps the most memorable thing for Chinese fans is the bet he made with Kenny Smith about Yao Ming.

As long as Yao Ming can score more than 19 points, kiss Smith's ass.

As a result, Barkley kissed the donkey's ass before the world's televised broadcast as a replacement for Smith.

Lessons learned, Barkley has never stopped his own divine spray road, spraying this and spraying that in three days, saying that Kobe is far inferior to Jordan today, and saying that James is not as good as Kobe Bryant tomorrow. No, today I heard about the king cannon, and the big-mouthed Buckley started again.

"The inside line who is less than 2 meters tall and can dominate the basket is only I, Sir Barkley, who is Wang Cannon? I've never heard of it before! Why does he only rely on his height of 2 meters to play inside? He thinks he's me, huh? "For Wang Cannon, Barkley looked very disdainful in an interview." Listen, man, the reason why this king cannon was able to grab so many rebounds in the last game is entirely because the Jazz's interior line is too weak, and he can't even grab a rebound if he is replaced by other teams! ”

Barkley's remarks were immediately published in the media by reporters, who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic and that things would get more and more chaotic so that they could report more news.

In this way, Barkley's remarks reached the ears of Wang Cannon.

When he heard the news, Wang Cannon was preparing for the upcoming game, Heat VS Warriors.

When he heard this, he was dumbfounded.

"Holy! I recruited him to provoke him, and he hacked me? Wang Cannon thought about it depressedly, he had never provoked this Barkley before.

Looking at the reporter who was looking forward to what he said, Wang Dacang knew that this girl was definitely trying to stimulate himself to say something bullshit to fight back.

If you are any normal person, you will choose to smile slightly and bring it vaguely.

But who is the king cannon? He went back to do this kind of loss-making thing?

"I want to tell SΓΉ Buckley, please be careful when he speaks, isn't it every time he gets lucky to kiss the ass of a donkey?" Wang Dacang smiled at the reporter and said to the camera aimed at him. "Personally, I think it's enough to go through that experience again and again, and I don't think Barkley wants to go through it a second time, right?"

The reporter who interviewed Wang Dacang was so excited that he almost fainted.

News ah! Big news!

The Heat rookie provoked the big-mouthed Barkley, and also said wildly that he wanted Barkley to kiss the donkey's ass again!

Comrade reporters can already imagine what kind of sensation their own interviews will have as soon as they appear in the media.

Wang Dacang had already ignored the extremely excited reporter at this time.

These things in the media can give people momentum, but what can really make a person famous is the hard power he has, as long as Wang Cannon is excellent in the game, there is no need to worry about other things.

Today, the Heat are playing against the Golden State Warriors, a run-and-gun team.

The Warriors' star players are the Golden State Twin Guns, Monta Ellis and Stephen Curry, two two-way guards with extremely strong offensive firepower, and the slightest mistake could kill them directly.

In addition to these two people, there is another player who has to be taken seriously, he is the power forward of the Warriors, and some people give the nickname David JΓΉ Little Prince. Plum. David. Li Shi is a double-double king, although his height is not particularly tall, but his rebounding ability is outstanding, much better than Al Jefferson and Millsap.

He is Wang Cannon's opponent today.

As early as yesterday, when the team was training, Spoelstra had already set a task for Wang Cannon, that is, to limit David Lee's play on the inside, whether it was rebounding or inside offense!
