As early as August, the NBA's annual summer league had begun, and Zhang Yu wanted to participate in the Olympics, so naturally he did not participate.

The Knicks didn't have a second-round pick this year, only a handful of undrafted and Development-League players signed short-term contracts, and bench players from mixed teams played in Summer League.

Zhang Yu took a break for half a month after the Olympics, and spent most of the past year in the game, and his body had already reached a critical point, and he needed to relax mentally and physically before ushering in the long season of the NBA.

It wasn't until mid-September that Zhang Yu's vacation was over, and although he hadn't officially played an NBA game, he had basically enjoyed the same treatment as an NBA star.

The average rookie, who was still struggling in the summer league at this time, had just finished his vacation like a big-name star in order to buy playing time from his coach.

Fagan's agent team has received a lot of advertisements for him this month, covering the world, adding up to more than a dozen endorsement contracts.

Zhang Yu was directly scared to pee, this is the rhythm of exhausting me to death!

Knowing that after listening to Fagan's explanation, he knew that these advertising endorsements did not need to shoot commercials, and only needed the right to use his portrait. To put it simply, it is to use Zhang Yu's portrait on the packaging of their respective products to play a promotional role. For this kind of advertising endorsement, the endorsement fee is not very much, generally only about 500,000 to 1 million US dollars a year, or even less. The advantage is that there are few restrictions, and it is even possible to endorse the same type of product in two countries.

Zhang Yu calculated, Fagan's agent team contacted him with 11 endorsement contracts from different countries around the world in a month, and the total endorsement fee was eight million US dollars a year, this figure was really beyond his expectations, it seemed that he received so much money without doing anything, is the money so easy to make?

This calculation, Fagan plus Samsung's big contract has helped him connect with a commercial endorsement contract of nearly 20 million US dollars a year. Coupled with the annual contract of nearly 20 million yuan endorsed by himself and Nike, his annual income instantly surpassed Yao Ming, and it has exceeded 30 million US dollars a year!

After his vacation, Mr. Zhang returned to his luxury apartment on Manhattan's Upper East Side, which had been renovated for more than two months during his Olympics and vacation.

"Made, 100,000 dollars is just spent!"

Zhang Yu threw himself on the couch, thinking of the new life he was about to start in New York, and thinking of Xia Wei and the little girl who were still at Stanford University, would they watch my games in front of the TV every game?

On September 22, Zhang Yu came to the Knicks training gym for the first time today and officially met his teammates.

Thomas personally led Zhang Yu to meet with his teammates one by one today, the summer league has ended, and the preseason is on October 5th.

The main players of the Knicks have been training for the new season since half a month ago.

Zhang Yu has been training in the summer, and then participated in the Olympics, the situation is a bit special, and it was not until September that he participated in the team's group training.

At this time, he was already 201cm tall, weighed 200 pounds, and had an arm span of 216cm.

In the Knicks, since Marbury fell out with the team, strictly speaking, there is no core and boss now.

Zach Randolph and Jamal Crawford are the stars of the team, neither of them is in the mood to fight for the position of boss, for the two who have been caught in trade rumors, even they don't know if they are still playing on this team after waking up, who is still in the mood to fight for the position of boss in this situation.

Besides, Zhang Yu came, they wanted to fight but didn't have to fight, everyone knows that the Chinese are the core of the team handpicked by the boss, and the manager and coach are not as important as anyone else, not to mention their trading chips?

Zach Randolph, who has a bad record outside the court, stealing, street fighting, and gun trafficking, surprisingly did not pose like an old-timer today, and greeted Zhang Yu in a friendly manner.

Crawford is the typical stuffy cucumber, not good at words, just a simple hello and it's over.

Zhang Yu had already done a certain amount of knowledge about these teammates in private, knew their general personalities, and didn't care. I said hello to the players who were training on the spot, and the more talkative ones chatted more, and the introverted ones stopped at the point, although he was the champion of this year, and he was also the core of the team handpicked by the boss, but he was mentally mature and did not put up any fights with his teammates.

As for the rookie player taking the bag and carrying shoes for the team's seniors, it is impossible for Zhang Yu to happen, and it is good that he doesn't let others help him carry the bag.

Zhang Yu greeted all his teammates and found that Marbury was the only one who did not come to training.

He has also heard about the current situation of the lone wolf, Marbury has completely torn his face with the team, the whole league is now watching the Knicks' jokes, and everyone knows that Marbury is now waiting to get his final year's salary to hug the Celtics' thighs.

At this time, it is difficult to trade the lone wolf, and no team will take on such a time bomb, unless they also have a bomb in their hands, otherwise they are waiting for the Knicks to buy out Marbury's contract and then try to pick up the leak.

This year, the team poached the 2004-05 NBA Coach of the Year from the Suns, D'Antoni came to coach the team, and the smiling assassin has stepped down as the team's head coach, and he can stay as the manager, which is already a blessing to Zhang Yu.

D'Antoni is not good at dealing with big stars, but he has a knack for developing rookies, especially point guards.

Zhang Yu grew up under China's sports system, and even though he is now in the NBA, which values stars more, he still has a respectful attitude towards coaches, and D'Antoni is no exception. This relieved D'Antoni, who was worried that Zhang Yu, who had become famous at a young age, would be as unruly as many black people.

The New York Knicks signed a four-year contract of $19 million with Zhang Yu as early as July, like all champions, this is a 2+2 contract, Zhang Yu's income in the next three years is 4.05 million, 4.35 million and 4.65 million US dollars, and 5.95 million US dollars, and the Knicks have the right of first refusal in the 3rd and 4th years.

Zhang Yu is no short of money now, and even richer than most of his teammates who have played for a few years on the field.

Due to the delay in his entry into the team due to the Olympics, the pre-season began immediately, but he did not know his teammates well. He knew that the best thing to play in this was Randolph, the fat black man, so after the training of the day, he secretly found Randolph and asked him to lead the way, ready to invite his teammates to go to the nightclub for a night.

When Zach Randolph heard this, he immediately felt that Zhang Yu looked more pleasing to the eye, and immediately patted his chest and took the matter away.

"Zhang, don't worry, if you want to go to a real nightclub in New York, you have found the right person to find me!"

That night, Zach Randolph took him directly to a strip club that required a VIP card to enter.

Zhang Yu invited all the main and role players of the team, and even several substitute players who were already destined to have no playing time He also invited, a group of more than a dozen people, how did the doorman see so many big men, and thought that he was here to smash the field, and he was shocked!

His generosity has made these players have a good impression of him, and even Crawford, who rarely speaks, at least does not hate Zhang Yu.

As for the substitutes and rookies who can't afford to consume this kind of place at all, they feel that Zhang Yu is very kind.

Zhang Yu is also bleeding a lot today, and he has prepared 200,000 US dollars, just to trap his teammates at one time, he has no patience to get along with his teammates little by little.

This "Duke of Rose" club, which looks inconspicuous on the outside, is really another world inside, Zhang Yu and his teammates walked through the corridor, and immediately knew what it meant to have a cave and what a wine pool meat forest was.

The rotunda, which is thousands of square meters long, is filled with steam and smoke, and there is a sense of unreality.

Zhang Yu looked around, four blonde girls with turbulent chests and upturned buttocks stood on the high platforms in the four corners of the hall, full of energy, twisting their waists like water snakes and dancing to their heart's content.

In the middle of the hall is a huge dance floor where hundreds of men and women indulge their bodies, dancing to the music and lights.

"That's cool!"

Wilson Chandler, who was selected by New York last year for 27 in the first round, couldn't help but say that this is not an ordinary nightclub, and the level of consumption is very high, and a player like him with an annual salary of millions cannot afford it. Not to mention those base-salary players, with a salary of only four or five hundred thousand dollars in taxes for tens of thousands of dollars a night, I am afraid that there will be no points left in less than a season.

"It's not for us here, we go to a private room, and it's not good to be photographed playing outside!"

Randolph has a lot of experience, and they are a highly exposed player who is not suitable for playing in the hall, and tonight the group is wearing hats and hiding for fear of being recognized. However, their height is so eye-catching, and there are so many people gathered together, and as soon as they enter the door, many people on the dance floor have already noticed them.

Zhang Yu saw a few blondes coming over to everyone, I don't know who I fell into, is this the rhythm of a shot?

The manager was greeted from his office to receive their overly conspicuous group of guests.

"Mr. Rachel, I bring you a distinguished guest today, and I think you will enjoy meeting him."

The manager of Duke Rose's Club, a shrewd middle-aged white man, arranged everyone into a large box large enough for twenty people before pulling Randolph to talk.

After chatting with Randolph for a few words, Rachel knew that it was Zhang Yu who paid the bill, and immediately gave him a diamond VIP card, which made Randolph jealous enough, and his VIP card was gold-level.

The "Duke of Rose" club is wonderful upstairs, downstairs is just a place for ordinary guests to consume, only guests with VIP cards, can enter the top floor venue, although there is only less than 1,000 square meters, the content is far more wonderful than downstairs.

New York, like Los Angeles, has many celebrities and billionaires, and these people naturally need a more advanced and private place to play.

"Duke Rose" is not the top club in New York, and Randolph also knows several nightclubs for celebrities and celebrities, and even he is reluctant to spend in them.

This guy, known as "Ranbir No. 2", was secretly wondering if he should find an opportunity to take Zhang Yu over to play in a few days. It seems that the new core of this team is also a fun-loving guy, maybe such a person will be the boss, and the future will be very pleasant.

Zhang Yu didn't know that the first guy he pulled in tonight turned out to be this ** dead fat man.

With so many people in their group, it is naturally impossible to go upstairs, and it is not suitable for these players.

The manager gave Zhang Yu a diamond VIP card, which was convenient for him to play by himself in the future.

Zhang Yu and Rachel chatted briefly, and the other party left very interestingly. After a while, a large group of strippers walked into the private room. His vision is high, and he has no interest in these women who don't know how many hands, so just get a little cheap on his hands. Even Randolph only stopped on point, didn't really do anything discordant, and he had some money, and he didn't look down on these strippers.

Crawford also didn't show much interest in these strippers, didn't even bother to take advantage of them, just drank, and seemed extremely unsociable.

Randolph smiled, leaned into Zhang Yu's ear and whispered, "Jamal doesn't like to go to nightclubs, I invited him before, but he ignored me." ”

Zhang Yu nodded, Crawford has a withdrawn personality and is not good at communicating with people, if it is really like what Randolph said, he can accept the invitation today, even if it is very face-saving for him. At the same time, he looked at Randolph, who was facing the stripper in his arms, and the fat man seemed to be showing his attitude without a trace.

Randolph was also muttering in his heart, this Jamal with facial paralysis, who usually looks like Jordan first and me second, can accept Zhang Yu's invitation today, and it seems that he doesn't want to be traded. He thought to himself, "Of course, who wants to be traded?" Staying in New York has far more exposure than other teams, and the more exposure you make, even if you have a withdrawn personality, you won't be able to get along with money! ”

That night, all the teammates had a lot of fun, and Zhang Yu even saw a lot of anxious guys, so he did something embarrassing with the female dancer on the spot

The next day, Zhang Yu looked at his consumption bill of $120,000 last night, and was heartbroken! This is still the price after the other party sees that he is the new core of New York, and he is discounted.

His grandmother's, this method of contacting teammates' feelings is too costly, and he will have to think twice about it in the future

However, the effect is very obvious, when his teammates trained the next day, they obviously regarded him as a good brother, and all kinds of pornographic jokes have reached the point where they can be said in person, such as which female star is maintained by whom, which basketball star is wrapped **, which player is GAY
