Chapter 54: Training Begins

After some struggle, Wang Chao decided to hire a trainer to assist him in training.

This is an essential investment, after all, saving tens of thousands of dollars to buy a house is not worth it compared to the importance of the system's tasks.

Take 10,000 steps back and say that if Wang Chao can achieve the mission goal and get rewards in this summer's training, his performance in the new season will definitely be better, and he will be able to sign a big contract with the team at that time.

NBA contract, even in 0607, the maximum salary is more than 15 million, which is equivalent to hundreds of millions of dollars!

Of course, the current Wang Chao can't get the maximum salary to renew the contract, but with his performance in the playoffs, there should be no problem with a few million, and if he plays better in the new season, it is not impossible to reach the level of 10 million.

But only if he is going to be better than he is now.

Wang Chao knows very well that this season is a special case, because the team's main scoring core player Amare . Stoudemire was reimbursed for the season, so his ball was distributed to other players, and Wang Chao was given a few chances.

But next season will be different.

With Stoudemire returning from injury, he will probably have to split around 34 minutes of playing time and nearly 15 shots from the team.

None of these can be separated from Nash, it will only be shared from Marion, Bale and other starters, as well as substitutes such as Wang Chao.

Wang Chao is not even sure now whether he can still be the team's starter in the new season.

After all, this time his rivals will be the main players of the team in the same position as him, Marion and Dior.

To sum up, the problem of Wang Chao's ability to improve is even more urgent, he must perform better and more efficiently on the court, and even the role cannot be reflected in the shooting of three-point points alone.

……

The matter of hiring a trainer is very simple for Wang Chao.

Although he doesn't have an agent, he only needs to contact the team's assistant coach and ask them to help him find a trainer.

He did the same.

In the United States, there are many people engaged in basketball training-related work, and the vast majority of them are players who retired from the NCAA and cannot join the NBA due to talent, so they can only engage in basketball training and other related work.

The trainer contacted by the team's assistant coach to help Wang Chao was an amateur player who had played in the NCAA in college.

This person is now 35 years old, has been in the trainer industry for more than 10 years, and is also experienced, and the most important thing is that the asking price is not high, 60 US dollars an hour, but the premise of this hourly wage is at least 8 hours a day after each visit.

An hourly wage of $60 may not seem like much, but if it is really based on 8 hours a day, the daily wage can reach 480 yuan, and even if you remove weekends and Sundays, it will cost more than $10,000 a month based on five days a week.

At this time in 06, a monthly income of more than 10,000 dollars is definitely a proper high salary.

Of course, the trainers hired by Wang Chao are just ordinary trainers, and if they are special trainers for top superstars in the league like Kobe Bryant and Iverson, it is not surprising that the annual salary is more than one million.

The team's assistant coach only provided Wang Chao with the contact information of the trainer, and Wang Chao talked about everything else, including negotiating the price, training time and signing the contract.

Wang Chao spent half a day, and finally decided to try each other for a week, and if it was suitable, the two sides would continue to cooperate.

In the afternoon, the two went to the Suns' training gym to start training.

That's right, Wang Chao's training was held in the Suns' training gym, because he couldn't afford to rent a private arena yet.

This is also a small benefit for NBA players, especially young players who have not yet made much money, even in the offseason, as long as it is not during the shutdown of the league, players can come to the team to train at any time, but during holidays like now, the environment of the training hall is not very good.

After all, after the NBA Finals, although the players are on vacation, the work of the team management has just begun.

Before and after the draft, each team will conduct a large number of rookie player tryouts, including physical tests and simulated training matches.

Although the Phoenix Suns are relatively late in the draft this season because the team reached the Finals, they have two first-round picks, one is the 21st pick in the first round and the other is the 27th pick.

In Wang Chao's impression, the Suns used the No. 21 pick to select Rajan. Rondo and immediately sent it to the Boston Celtics.

This will be one of the famous "four non-controls" of a bull in the future, that is, Mo does not pass, does not defend, does not attack and does not throw.

Rondo's shooting has been criticized, but his individual ability is outstanding, and at his peak he can contribute 13.7 points, 5.6 rebounds and 11.1 assists per game.

The Suns were able to select the future All-Star point guard, which was indeed very discerning, but unfortunately they traded him out immediately after being selected.

But even if the Suns don't trade Rondo and put him on the team, the latter probably won't grow, after all, the Suns have the best point guard in the league today, Steve. Nash, there is no place for Rondo at all.

It's a bit far, let's get down to business.

The Suns management, who holds two first-round picks, still paid more attention to this draft and invited many players to try out before the draft to make a decision in the draft a few days later.

Wang Chao and the trainer were training in the corner of the training hall, although it did not prevent the team from normal trials, but people came and went, and many people still noticed Wang Chao's movements.

"Is that a Suns player?"

A rookie who participated in the trial looked at Wang Chao, who was training with the trainer in the distance, and asked his companions in a low voice.

"Looking at his complexion, it seems to be the Chinese player named Wang Chao."

"Wang Chao? The shooter who only shoots threes? ”

Since the playoffs, Wang Chao's popularity has been completely launched, after all, a player who can contribute an average of 21 points per game during the playoffs, go all the way to the finals with the team and break the playoff three-point record many times, it is strange that he continues to be unknown.

In China, because of some special reasons that Wang Chao himself is not clear, there may not be much popularity, but in the United States, Wang Chao has become one of the league's iconic three-point shooters, and even many people have compared Wang Chao with Lei. Aaron compared...... Of course, it's just a matter of which of the two is more accurate.

"What is he training for? Isn't it three-point shooting? ”

Looking at Wang Chao, who was practicing with the trainer in the corner, all the rookie players who participated in the trial were a little confused.
