Wang Chao waited in the hotel room where he stayed and waited for Da Yao, who took the initiative to visit.

When the door was opened to welcome Da Yao into the house, Wang Chao was slightly stunned, because Da Yao did not come alone, and with him was the agent Bill who was the two of them. Duffy.

Bill. Duffy hadn't told Wang Chao anything before, but today he suddenly came with Da Yao.

Wang Chao instantly understood what Da Yao wanted to do.

No wonder it's inconvenient to say on the phone, to be interviewed in person.

Da Yao must have come to act as a lobbyist for the Houston Rockets, and for this purpose, he also specially brought in his agent Bill. Duffy.

At the end of this season, Wang Chao can choose to jump out of the contract and sign a bigger contract with the team.

This also makes other teams in the league want to move, although on the surface, Wang Chao has a very good life in the Magic team, has the right to shoot first on the team, and has a good relationship with Howard, and the team management has given him enough respect to intervene in player transactions.

But what if? As long as there is a slight chance to get Wang Chao, they will not give up easily.

After all, Wang Chao's performance in recent years has been destined for at least the next 5 years, and he will be one of the top and strongest players in the league, and he will not be able to do much with superstars such as Kobe Bryant and James.

Therefore, the Rocket team thought of a strategy to let Da Yao play the emotional card with Wang Chao and persuade Wang Chao.

Da Yao has played nine seasons with the Rockets, and he already has a strong relationship with this team, and for him, he very much hopes that the Rockets can get stronger and stronger, and it will be his dream to win a championship before he retires.

But recruiting Wang Chao, Da Yao was still a little hesitant.

After all, Wang Chao is thriving in the Magic team, and he is already attacking for three consecutive championships, he and Howard are still very young, and it is not impossible to catch up with the pace of Jordan, the god of basketball, in the future.

Once Wang Chao really listened to his persuasion, he joined the Rockets...... With the current lineup structure of the Rockets, Da Yao really doesn't think that one more Wang Chao can directly have the strength to compete for the championship.

Da Yao was a Chinese basketball player first and then a Rockets player.

As a representative of Huaguo basketball, Da Yao very much hopes that Huaguo can produce a Jordan-style player, which is of far-reaching and important significance to the basketball of the whole Huaguo, which will promote more young people to like the sport of basketball, and can also stimulate the rapid development of basketball youth training in Huaguo.

Therefore, Da Yao actually hopes that Wang Chao can stay in the Magic team and play more and better results.

However, when he was entangled, he learned from the agent Bill. Duffy received news that stunned him.

Wang Chao seems to be ready to leave Orlando!

Bill. Although Duffy did not get this clear answer from Wang Chao, as a senior agent, just by virtue of his daily communication with Wang Chao and the relationship between the Magic team and Wang Chao this season, he probably had a guess.

What's more, not long ago, the Magic team management took the initiative to contact Bill. Duffy communicated, hoping that Wang Chao could choose to fulfill the player option this summer, and did not recommend that he jump out of the contract and re-sign a new contract.

At present, the situation of collective bargaining seems to be uncertain, and the management and labor sides are at odds with each other for reasons of interest, and the two sides are ready to play a big role in the collective bargaining after the official end of the season in June.

The management of the Magic team is not optimistic about the outcome of the labor negotiations, and feels that there is a high probability that both sides will make a compromise on their interests, and the players' incomes will also be affected at that time.

If Wang Chao implements the player option next season, the contract amount will be about $17.5 million, which is definitely the highest salary in the league.

Once the contract is renewed, there is a high probability that the initial amount of the new contract will not meet this standard.

Therefore, the advice given by the Magic management is to let Wang Chao exercise the player option for another season and wait until the summer of 2012 to sign a new contract, which can ensure that the benefits can be maximized.

Bill. Duffy feels that the management of the Magic team has a point, and as a professional agent, he also feels that the momentum of this collective bargaining is not good, and it is likely to lead to a long-term shutdown of the league like the previous collective bargaining in '98.

But when he communicated with Wang Chao about this matter, Wang Chao was noncommittal, as if he was completely unconcerned about this matter, and said that he had already made a plan and did not need to make a decision in a hurry.

That time began, Bill. Duffy faintly felt that Wang Chao wanted to leave the Magic team.

Why does Wang Chao want to leave Magic, Bill. Duffy can't figure it out, but it doesn't matter, in his opinion, with Wang Chao's current coffee position, no matter which team he goes to, it is a proper top salary. Duffy's interests as an agent will not be affected in any way, and if he can go to a team with a bigger market, his future prospects may be even better.

It also happened that at this time, he learned from Da Yao that Team Rocket intended for Da Yao to plot against Wang Chao.

Whether it is the ball market or the economic development of the city, Houston is significantly better than Orlando, and Houston is located in Texas, so compared with teams in other cities, players can pay about 10% less state personal income tax, according to Wang Chao's annual salary of nearly 20 million, you can save an additional $2 million per year, which is by no means a small number.

Hence Bill. Duffy volunteered to be a lobbyist with Da Yao.

……

"Rocket......

After a brief conversation, after understanding the general situation, Wang Chao shook his head slightly and fell into thought.

The Rockets would never have considered it, for a very simple reason, there is only one reason, and that is the general manager of the Rockets, Mo Gou.

But any Chinese will hate this old dog to the core, even if this guy won't do that weird thing until 2019, it will be eight years later, when Wang Chao doesn't know where he plays, but it doesn't prevent him from hating this guy now.

As long as this goods are on the Rockets, there is no way he will join the Rockets.

However, everything is not completely absolute, and there is a possibility that Wang Chao is willing to join the Rockets.

After thinking about the organization language for a while, Wang Chao looked at Da Yao and said very solemnly. "Brother Yao, we are all our own people, I won't be polite to you, the possibility of me joining the Rockets is not impossible, but there are a few conditions, if the Rockets can do it, I can promise to jump out of the contract and join the Rockets this summer."

When Da Yao heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, he didn't expect that Wang Chao would agree so simply, he didn't even have time to say the words he had thought of before.

"What conditions? As long as Team Rocket can meet your requirements, I will do my best to get them to meet your terms. ”

"First." Wang Chao held up a finger. "I'm going to get a max salary, and I'm going to be the number one player in the team, and I'm going to have the ball completely at my disposal."

Wang Chao, who has purchased a large number of real estate in the capital and is waiting for bitcoin to appreciate, is actually not bad for money, but the top salary, as a symbol of the status of a player, is not just money in a sense.

The 16 million contract renewal and the 17 million contract renewal seem to be only 1 million apart, which is harmless to the top superstars at all, and it is not even enough for them to squander a few times in nightclubs, but this represents the importance the team attaches to him, unless it is like the Big Three of the Heat who must take a salary cut in order to win the championship in a team, then the top superstars rarely choose to reduce their salary to renew their contracts.

"No problem, of course." Da Yao nodded, Wang Chao's condition is normal, he is already the No. 1 offensive core in the Magic team, and the average number of shots per game and ball use rate are the highest in the team, there is no reason to reduce when he arrives at the Rockets.

But the second condition that Wang Chao followed made Da Yao's facial muscles twitch uncontrollably twice.

"Second." Wang Chao raised his second finger. "I want the privilege of a superstar, the standard can refer to James of the Cavaliers, the team's trade and contract extension must be notified to me in advance before it is reached, if I don't agree to terminate the deal, the team's tactical arrangement, the playing time of other players and the development of tactical play, I also have to be involved......"

Wang Chao Balabala said a lot.

Da Yao and Bill. Duffy's mouth opened wider and wider.

Good guys, are you going to be a star or going to be an emperor? Isn't that an exaggeration?

The second condition put forward by Wang Chao has had a strong impact on Da Yao, who is honest throughout his career, loyal to the team, and obedient to the coach's tactical arrangement.

What else can a player ask for?

After saying the second one in one breath, he looked at Da Yao and Bill. With a stunned expression, Wang Chao took a sip of tea slightly, and said secretly in his heart. "Is that surprising? They are too tender. ”

These requirements mentioned by Wang Chao sound quite exaggerated and excessive, but if you refer to the Cavaliers 2.0 version of James, it is not an exaggeration at all.

In order to please James, not to mention the question of who the player trades and who to sign, even the contract amount depends on James's face.

Tristan. Thompson, an ordinary blue-collar player who averaged 8 points and 8 rebounds per game, because of his close relationship with James, his agent is still James' agent Richie. Paul, as a result, the Cavaliers were forced to sign a big five-year, $82 million contract with him. Thompson was also nicknamed by many fans as the Eight Sages King next to James.

Also because of James, the players who got big contracts that do not match their value include JR. Smith, Iman Shambaugh and many others, and James's famous dogleg James Jones has long lost the ability to compete on the court, but he still relied on the Cavaliers to eat empty wages for several years.

Of course, James is the chosen one, a league superstar, and if a small city like Cleveland wants to keep him, those costs are necessary.

Another typical example is the Rockets themselves.

After Harden asked for a trade in the future and was sent to the Nets as he wished, a well-known NBA reporter broke several of Harden's privileges with the Rockets, which was jaw-dropping.

One, Harden can decide whether or not to participate in practice, and if he is not willing to practice, even the Rockets will cancel the originally planned training day.

Second, during the Rockets season, after playing away games in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago and other big cities, unless it is a back-to-back away game next, and you must leave on the same day to catch up with the game, the Rockets will spend the night locally, because Harden is going to a nightclub, and everyone else has to wait for Harden to have enough before they can return to Houston on a special plane together.

Third, if there are 3 or more games in the Rockets' schedule, Harden will cut out the middle day and take a special plane to Las Vegas, where other Rockets players should train and do what they should do.

This jump, Harden himself took the initiative to refute the rumors, saying that he went to Las Vegas for special training...... Well, the rest of the Rockets players were training in Houston, and Harden himself traveled all the way to Las Vegas for a day of training, and his dedication is really hard to say.

Fourth, during the season, the Rockets' schedule, when to leave the away game, when to take off by plane, and the training schedule, the coaching staff is set, and after the head coach passes, he has to ask Harden for instructions, Brother Deng nodded and said yes, then it will be officially arranged, if Harden says no, I still have a night game to catch tonight, then maybe the plane will not take off until the next morning.

Fifth, the final list of coaching staff and team players needs to be finalized by Harden, including the departure of head coach McHale and Howard, Paul's entry and departure, and Westbrook's entry and departure, all of which were implemented at Harden's request.

All in all, Harden has never heard the word "no" in the Rockets, whether it is the team management, the coaching staff or even the team owner, everything follows Harden, and Harden is whatever he says, and he can do whatever he wants.

In fact, Harden's personality is not so bad, and he is not really a ball bully, which can be seen from his performance during his time with the Thunder, and later during the Nets and 76ers.

Therefore, in fact, Harden's privileges in the Rockets are all spontaneous actions of the Rockets in order to lick Harden and let Harden stay on the team with peace of mind, and Harden has just become a habit over time.

Wang Chao considering that his current ability is estimated to be no less than Harden at the peak of the future, and even two points stronger, such a request is not excessive, and the reason why he wants these privileges is to make the team stronger, as a traverser, Wang Chao, who has the advantage of foresight, if he has no say in team transactions and reinforcements, it is a great waste.

The Magic team was forced to trade pressure to give Wang Chao such a privilege for a short time, but this season they were unwilling to take back the privilege, which can only be said that they missed an opportunity to create a legendary dynasty team.

If the Rockets agree to Wang Chao's conditions, at least in the next ten years, they will have the opportunity to get the most cost-effective players at the lowest cost, and in less than three years, the Rockets will have the most luxurious lineup in the league and be invincible!

It's just that this is only Wang Chao's second condition.

Looking at Da Yao and Bill, who had not yet recovered from the shock. Duffy, Wang Chao struck while the iron was hot and said his third condition.

"Third," Wang Chao, who was holding a teacup, had a cold light in his eyes, and he was so poor!

"The Rockets must fire the general manager of the team before I join, I don't like this person, I don't want to work with him on the same team, and the first two conditions are still negotiable, this third article has no room for negotiation, as long as Mo Gou is in the Rockets, I will never consider joining Houston!"
