Of course, in fact, there is another thing, that is, Yang Mi came back from Xiangjiang and wanted to report to Jiang Chao about the situation at the headquarters of Chaoshen Entertainment in the imperial capital.

However, this kind of report can be pushed back, and Jiang Chao is not in a hurry to meet Boss Yang for the first time.

Boss Yang, this little vixen, has to boil her, otherwise there is no inner taste, isn't it just a little bit of the fox's tail exposed now?

……

Magic City.

Tomson a product.

Da Yao's family.

"Wow, it's the first time I've entered this legendary community." Jiang Chao looked at the clean vegetation and comfortable environment, why did he feel that his One-57 apartment was much lower.

Zhang Mingji joked in the back: "The boss also came here to buy a set when he was free, and he was a neighbor with Da Yao." ”

Jiang Chao is also the father and mother of Da Yao who have been familiar with their faces since later generations.

In order to receive Jiang Chao, Da Yao's parents made him a large table of authentic dishes, the bright braised pork, the soup dumplings made by themselves, and the steamed sea bass.

It was also Da Yao's parents who chatted with Jiang Chao first, but in front of his parents, Da Yao was much more restrained.

"Uncle and aunt, this is what I should do, not for Brother Yao, he is also a key member of our way to winning the championship."

Da Yao's parents regarded Jiang Chao as their son's benefactor, and asked Jiang Chao to quickly stop the chopsticks and say that it was not so exaggerated, we are also our own achievements, and Da Yao was called by him to help win the championship together.

Yao Ming was smiling and cooking beside him, it was the first time he had seen Jiang Chao look so embarrassed.

This young boss doesn't give a little face when he meets the big leaders of the Basketball Association, but in his own home, it's okay to blush when his parents tell him.

"What's the matter, little ginger, come, eat more vegetables!"

Aragaki Yui looked at it and laughed next to him, is this still the boss who is not shocked!

She finished eating first and went to print the contract information about Yao Ming with Lao Lu over the air.

Because her rice bowl was also almost filled by the two elders.

……

After lunch, Jiang Chao and Yao Ming and Zhang Mingji talked about work in Da Yao's bedroom.

Said to be a bedroom, in fact, it is equivalent to a studio, the special big bed is in the corner, more than 100 square meters of space are related to Da Yao and basketball, the rocket is more popular, but the jersey worn by the Knicks when he won the championship is hung on the wall that can be seen when he enters the door.

The large floor-to-ceiling windows can directly see the Huangpu River and the Oriental Pearl, this river-view room is worthy of being a must-have community in the city.

Jiang Chao also saw the legendary old-fashioned computer that played Warcraft with Liu Wei, and a lot of trophies, Da Yao is worthy of being a sports family, which means that he has won awards since he was a child, but after being rich, he showed his youthful nature, and the keyboard with the computer is small pink, and it is also covered with One Piece posters.

Men to death are teenagers!

Da Yao made Pu'er tea for Jiang Chao, and the four of them sat down on chairs in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, watching the big boat float by outside the window, chatting about their affairs.

"How so? Brother Yao, I respect all your choices. ”

Jiang Chao actually knew for a long time that there were several choices regarding Da Yao's stay or departure, and now he was to let him choose for himself.

Da Yao had a salary of 17.56 million last season, which was the last year of the contract that the Rockets opened four years ago.

Now that he is a free agent, he can choose which direction he wants to go in the rest of his career.

There is no need for Jiang Chao to investigate, some of the fans I have met recently have analyzed everything for him when they are chattering.

One is the olive branch that the rocket threw recently.

Because the salary space of the Rockets is very healthy, so the contract above the middle class has to run, and finally retired honorably in the Rockets.

The second option is to renew the contract with the Knicks, but the Knicks don't have enough space, because the other stalwarts want to renew their contracts, and the UAE must be a big contract, plus David Lee and the agents, they are a little better than Da Yao, and even Oku's priority is higher than Da Yao.

Therefore, the contract renewal with the Knicks must not be too high, and even the basic salary of the veteran directly, but the advantage is that it may continue the journey of the second consecutive championship, and the honor is indispensable.

The third option is to start the journey with the third team in his career, but they are all championship teams, such as the Mavericks, the Pacers, these teams have all had contact with Da Yao, but it is not the top salary, at most tens of millions of annual salaries, which is not very tempting for Da Yao, who already lives in Tomson Yipin.

In the eyes of a player of his level, it is either the top salary or feelings, and it is not interesting to play in the general team for two or three years, but it is a loss of body.

Speaking of bodies, that's the fourth choice that both Da Yao and the Knicks are facing.

That is, the Knicks team doctor solemnly warned Da Yao at the end of the season that he could no longer blindly exercise to gain muscle, and now he must lose weight to maintain his physical condition, otherwise if you maintain the current strength confrontation intensity, you will have to be reimbursed for your career for half a year at most.

Dr. Carter's advice made Da Yao and Jiang Chao very important at that time, and now Knicks have sent a physical therapist to follow Da Yao every day, just because his knee is "running out", and judging from the way Da Yao is cooking at noon today, he has not eaten a full meal for a long time.

Losing weight is painful, not only the pain of the process, but also the pain of finding yourself on the basketball court after losing weight.

Because Jiang Chao also asked Yao Ming how much he wanted to lose at the dinner table just now, Yao Ming said that Dr. Carter said that at least 20 pounds is unacceptable for a 32-year-old center.

Look at O'Neal, once you finish gaining muscle, if you want to lose it, it's not just an NBA-level diet and conditioning that can be done, it's more about the player's own self-discipline.

Lose weight, you can play for a few more years, but your dominance on the court will decline rapidly.

Without weight loss, you will become more susceptible to injuries next season, and injuries can lead to retirement.

Listening to the meaning of Da Yao's parents at the dinner table, the two of them are a little reluctant to let their son work hard anymore, and they are distressed!

Therefore, if Da Yao really wants to retire, the Knicks are also willing to hold a retirement ceremony for him, winning the championship and retiring, a beautiful thing.

Obviously, Yao Ming and Zhang Mingji in front of them also knew that the four choices in front of them were difficult to choose because there were too many choices.

Da Yao is difficult to be a man, Zhang Mingji asked for him:

"Boss Jiang, if we stay in the team, what conditions do you offer?"

Jiang Chao told the truth:

"I respect all your choices, if you stay in the team, 15 million 3-year contract, I can give it to you now."

This is indeed what Jiang Chao can give the most, and it will be difficult to deal with the expiration of rookie contracts such as Kuha after 3 years, these 3 years are because of the problem of the superposition of the contract renewal veteran and Howard's top salary, and Da Yao's annual salary of 10 million is definitely gone.

Zhang Mingji fell into a deep groan.

Obviously, from the perspective of his agent, Da Yao's salary is not satisfactory to him.

After all, the agent and Oku were 32 years old and got an annual salary of about 1100 in the Knicks!

And Da Yao's honor can crush people to death, is it only worthy of an annual salary of 5 million?

Unacceptable!

Da Yao is also a smart person, and suddenly answered:

"The UAE should be able to get a big contract, right?"

Jiang Chao nodded: "Well, his rookie contract has just ended, and he deserves a high-salary extension." ”

At this time, Zhang Mingji wanted to speak, but was stopped by Da Yao with his long arm, from Da Yao's point of view, he didn't want to bargain with the management and boss on the renewal of the contract, that was what Aunt Modu did, and he was more out of friendship.

Just like he was reluctant to leave the Rockets at the beginning, he is not reluctant to leave the man in front of him who brought him to the championship now!!

Once Tianya becomes a confidant, he will see this heart in the future.

This season's cooperation is happier than his eight years of cooperation with the Rockets.

So he asked Jiang Chao regardless of it:

"Carter said I'm going to play like this for up to two years, so I'm still on a two-year contract."

Jiang Chao: "Of course you can, I listen to your opinion, what I mean is that we need you as an internal pillar, except that the salary can't be given too much, everything will be the same as last season." ”

Yao:

"Winning the championship too?"

Jiang Chao nodded heavily: "It's necessary, you come for another 2 years, and we will hit 3 consecutive championships!" ”

Da Yao, who has enjoyed the taste of the championship, is obviously more eager for the championship, and after seeing Jiang Chao's sworn eyes, he actually has the answer:

"Boss, you should also know that my legs won't last a few years, Carter said that if I still play in the NBA in 2 years, I will have to live on crutches for the rest of my life."

"I know, my sister-in-law is getting pregnant now, and everything is okay? I'm not going to let your kids look at you on crutches. Jiang Chao knows what Da Yao means, which means that sometimes it is really not good, don't force him to play, just like the national team, if you are not feeling well and let Da Yao go, it is easy to leave the root of the disease.

"You also saw that we didn't pick a good interior in the draft, and give us the Knicks a backup interior for another 2 years! If I can't hold on, I'll buy you out and let you end your career in good health. ”

And 2 years is indeed the limit, 2 years later, Da Yao averages 5 minutes per game, and there are also daily systematic training and training matches, which is also a lot of consumption.

"Okay, then I'll renew the contract with you with a 2-year veteran's basic salary, don't consider it!"

Da Yao is also a straight person, although there are also a bunch of people on the rocket side who come to lobby.

But on the Knicks' side, the owner came to talk to him personally, the management and coaching staff all talked privately to keep him, and the happy Howard, which is much better than the Rockets' teammates who shout every day that you are not enough C.

You must know that in the Rockets, teammates either say that Da Yao is vacant and does not pass, then it is better to say that Da Yao can't score 1 or 1...... It's all a bunch of pretentious people.

"Veteran base salary??"

The other three all looked at Da Yao in surprise, Zhang Mingji stood up directly, hey, hey, hey, can't you play your cards according to this!

But Da Yao had already decided:

"The next days in the NBA are not about money, only about love and pursuit!! I love basketball!! ”

"I'll make you feel like you're winning!" Jiang Chao also shook hands with Da Yao quite unexpectedly, with resolute eyes.

The veteran's basic salary is the minimum wage, but he didn't guess wrong, Da Yao's level, either stay in the team with a high salary, or stay in the team with a high salary, if there is no high salary, it must be the basic salary to stay in the team, one is the heart, and the other is for the team!

The base salary is the minimum wage that a team wants to sign a player, also known as the "veteran base salary". Secondly, there are specific standards for the base salary, but the base salary standard will vary from year to year because the specific income of the Union is different from year to year; Also, depending on how long the player has been playing in the NBA, it varies.

Each NBA team will receive a different base salary each year.

In terms of seniority, leagues typically offer a clear base salary for players with careers of up to 0-9 years.

For players who have been in the league for more than seven years, they can get a veteran's base salary, which should not be less than $1.1 million next season, so Da Yao meets those conditions.

At the same time, the base salary contract of the veteran base salary can also be increased year by year, and the overall salary is between $1 million and $2 million.

These are all respects for the meritorious personnel of the veteran basic salary alliance, and they are also the maintenance of the rights and interests of the veteran's basic salary.

But Jiang Chao also said to Zhang Mingji, don't think that the basic salary of a veteran is really the meaning of the end of his career, this is just a name in the agent circle.

It is undeniable that some players have signed base salary contracts with veterans despite the base salary.

But it is still possible to play superstar basketball, such as Anthony in his previous life, as well as retired Wade, Ginobili and Carter, who performed well in the final season of their careers.

"And Jordan also signed this contract, and he was an All-Star."

In 2001, at the age of 38, Jordan made his last comeback and signed a two-year contract with the then Huasheng Dun Wizards.

Because Jordan is a minority shareholder, he signed a veteran base salary contract for the team's record, averaging 22.9 points, 5.7 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game. Unfortunately, the Wizards only finished the regular season with a 37-45 record.

However, for him personally, the 40-year-old Jordan was still able to score 2,255 points per game that season and was still an All-Star starter.

The following season, Jordan also made the All-Star team, but that year, Carter and Iverson became the backcourt for the Eastern Conference All-Star starters.

Of course, there is also an All-Star veteran base salary player, Iverson in the 2009-10 season: he was an All-Star starter that year, but his annual salary was only $1.03 million.

Why do you want to say this, Jiang Chao is telling Da Yao one thing, that is, the veteran's base salary is not lonely, it is not the end, but it may be to regain the peak!

After that, it was a video call with Max and Lao Lu.

In order to be more free in the second year, the two sides are ready to sign a 1+1 two-year contract, if Da Yao feels that his physical condition is not good after the first year, he can jump out of the contract at any time, and it will not affect the Knicks' salary for the next year.

That's a reward for the Knicks.

Yao Ming also said to Jiang Chao that I will support you as an internal substitute for two years at most, and you will have to find a good candidate for the center in the next two years.

"Don't worry."

Naturally, it is impossible for the Knicks to have the minimum real base salary, Lao Lu gave a pre-selection plan of 3.33 million for 2 years, and Zhang Mingji also nodded in agreement.

"Okay, then sign me finally, if you don't have enough money at that time, I'll return it."

Yao Ming is really a good man, this is similar to those stars' final refund and less compensation, looking at the salary cap, now it is just a verbal agreement, and finally a paper contract is signed.

It is also to leave room for the Knicks, in case the Knicks' salary is less than 100,000 yuan to pay luxury tax, wouldn't it be embarrassing, Da Yao doesn't care how much money it is, he just wants to continue to fight for the highest honor in basketball.

is also for the friendship with Jiang Chao and Yi Jianlian!!

"Okay, then sign up at the end, thank you." Jiang Chao nodded in thanks, and the two sides took a group photo at Da Yao's home, which also set the second Knicks personnel change in the offseason!!

said that it was a verbal agreement, but both sides posted this incident on Weibo and Twitter to tell the fans.

In a simple sentence:

"YAOMING's two-year veteran base salary renews Knicks! 》

The dust has settled! YAO will continue to wear the Knicks jersey! 》

Just one line of words is enough to make the Knicks rejoice!

The boss's China trip has done a practical thing!!

Yi Jianlian was the first to call to bless Da Yao, with Da Yao here, he always felt that he had a backer when he played in the Knicks.

"UAE, you also hurry up and sign it, let me tell you, don't choose another team!" Da Yao joked.

How many truths are told in a joke way.

Da Yao also knows some.

In order to dismantle the Knicks championship lineup, some teams even want to dig up the top salary for the United Arab Emirates, such as the Rockets, who eat the cake of the Chinese market, want to reorganize Yao Yi in the Rockets, and the opening is the maximum salary!

If these players in Europe and the United States want to make money, they are 100% excited and play, not for money, is it difficult or for love?

So Da Yao is also putting a little pressure on Yi Jianlian first, don't let me sign you and run away, that's too unrighteous.

Yi Jianlian is still very clear about this.

Don't forget the past, the teacher of the future.

Drink water and don't forget to dig wells, he still remembers Jiang Chao's good intentions when he dug him in the preseason last year, and he also knows that if Jiang Chao hadn't given him a chance to play and lead him to win the championship, where would he have so many invitations????

And Da Yao's decision surprised many people, in the eyes of old Rocket fans, this is not going to the Rockets to retire, is it still in the Knicks?

Winning the championship once has already made the dream come true, but many fans have a Toyota Center plot and feel that Da Yao's jersey should be hung in the Toyota Center at the end!

Da Yao's approach has strengthened the determination of the UAE team:

"Don't worry, I will swear to follow Boss Jiang to the death!!"

"Okay, then next year our Great Wall combination will continue to connect, haha."

Even Younas sent a message to Da Yao:

"The last dance of the veteran!! I'm looking forward to your performance next season!! ”

Francis: "Keep winning the championship, brother, i-see-you!" ”

It may be the last chapter of 2022.,Ask for subscriptions.,Ask for a reward.,Thank you!!
