The King of the NBA

　　 That night, the Timberwolves returned to Minnesota overnight.

　　For the Timberwolves, the preseason is over, and it doesn’t make sense to stay in Detroit. It’s better to return to Minnesota overnight. You can relax a few days later.

　　 Of course, this relaxation is only mental. There are still a few days in the regular season. Adelman will not let them relax, and there should be no less training.

　　 On the plane, some people closed their eyes and sleep, some people listened to the song, no one talked, continuous away game, back-to-back game, it is rare to end, everyone just want to rest.

　　 There are still some people thinking, where to go in the future?

　　 The end of the preseason game means that the assessment of free agency has ended, and some people have to leave. For these people, there is no way to relax or close their eyes.

"Hey....."

　　 looked at a few people, Ning Yi couldn't help but sigh.

　　 This is nba. This is a business alliance. To put it bluntly is weak meat and strong food. The competition is not only fierce, but also very cruel. If you do not perform well, you can only leave.

　　Ning Yi was lucky, got the system, and changed his own destiny.

　　 But at this time, Ning Yi could not help but feel awkward and secretly admonished himself that this is a arena, you must work harder and become stronger, otherwise these people's today may be your tomorrow.

　　......

　　When Ning Yi returned to Minneapolis, his agent Donny Berg came to the house to discuss the contract with Ning Yi.

　　Every player participating in the draft needs to sign a qualified agent in advance. Ning Yi participated in the draft and signed Donny Berger.

　　 However, Ning Yi was not concerned at the time, and naturally treated differently from other young people participating in the draft.

Some draft picks are popular, and before they even decide to participate in the draft, even when they are still high school students, they have scouts and agents come to them, communicate with them, try to win them, and then plan their future for them and formulate growth Planning, including planning their participation in the draft, publicity, momentum, etc...

　　 It can be said that the agent is the most important partner of the players on the field and an important bridge between the team and the players. Players participating in the draft, signing contracts with the team, including commercial endorsements, all require agents to negotiate with the other party, mediate from them, and strive for the best interests of the players.

　　 Ning Yi is not a popular draft pick, and Downey Berg is not a well-known agent.

　　 In fact, Downey Berg is very poorly mixed in the agent circle. There are only 4 players, including entertainment stars, and almost no reputation.

　　 But the Downey Berger is very nice.

　　Ning Yi has no family members. His parents died when he was in the first grade of high school. Before leaving, he left him a sum of money. He also relied on this money, plus his cleverness and good grades, Ning Yi can study in the United States.

　　 There are still some relatives in the family, but after the parents passed away, they didn't make much contact.

　　 When Ning Yi was lost in the draft, he was depressed for a while. At his lowest point, it was Donny Berg who had been with him and spent time with him.

　　 Later, Ning Yi gave up basketball, but his relationship with Downey-Berg was maintained and became a good friend. He met with Downey almost every year. Either Ning Yi came to the United States or invited Downey to China.

　　 "Downey."

　　 Seeing Downey, Ning Yi greeted him with a smile and hugged Downey.

　　 Downey said excitedly: "Ning, you played really well in this preseason. You know, I have received more than a dozen calls these days, all about you."

　　 "Oh?" Ning Yi's heart moved, and it was clear immediately, "How many nba teams are there?"

"Smart." Downey gave a thumbs-up and sat down with Ning Yi. "There are 8 of these dozen calls from the manager of the NBA team. They are Mavericks, Spurs, Rockets, Lakers, Suns, 76. The eight teams, Rennes, Knicks, and Nets, all expressed interest in you. The Rockets, Lakers, and Spurs clearly expressed their willingness to sign you."

　　Ning Yi nodded, this is not unexpected, as expected.

　　In this preseason, the Timberwolves played a total of 7 games. Ning Yi averaged 16.9 points per game, ranking first among rookies. Such a performance, if there is no team interested, it is a strange thing.

　　 Not to mention, Ning Yi is a Chinese, and the huge Chinese market is a big cake that everyone covets. Who is the owner of the nba team who does not want to take a bite?

　　Another reason is that Ning Yi is a draft pick. Signing with him will not be constrained by the "Rookie Terms". It is possible to sign a one-year short contract. If Ning Yi is only a short-lived one, he will not lose much.

　　 So there are 8 nba teams interested in Ning Yi, which is not surprising.

"In addition, there are some other league teams, including EL’s Central Army in Moscow, Real Madrid in Spain, and your CBA team in China..." Downey also reported some other teams. Finally, he added: "These teams just expressed an intention. After all, unless nba doesn't have a team that wants you, otherwise you can't go to these leagues to play~www.NovelMTL.com~ Ha ha." Ning Yi smiled.

　　 These teams are actually just saying hello. As Downey said, unless nobody wants it in NBA, Ning Yi is unlikely to play in these teams.

　　Know that Ning Yi is still young, only 20 years old. Which 20-year-old young man wouldn’t take the opportunity to play in the NBA, go to the second-level league?

　　Ning Yi thought for a while and asked Downey: "Downey, what do you think?"

Downey said: "Ning, I think the team that suits you best is the Timberwolves. In these preseason games, you get a lot of playing time in the Timberwolves, and your teammates trust you. If you come to other teams, these conditions may not be It’s the same.” After that, Donnington paused and said, “There is only one problem, that is salary.”

　　Ning Yi frowned.

Downey continued: "The Rockets, Spurs, and Lakers all gave quotations. The Spurs and Lakers gave a one-year contract. The Spurs quoted $1.8 million, and the Lakers quoted $1.91 million. The Rockets have the most Sincerely, they are willing to provide a 1+1 contract with a total value of 3.65 million US dollars and a guaranteed contract."

　　 "Guaranteed contract?" Ning Yi raised his eyebrows, but it was a bit unexpected.

　　The Rockets not only provided him with a 1+1 contract, his salary was also guaranteed. Unlike the Spurs and Lakers, his salary was not guaranteed. It seemed to be more than one million. It depends on how much you can get.

　　 For Rockets being so sincere, Ning Yi had some speculation. Most of them had tasted the sweetness of Huaxia's big cake in Yao Ming, so they wanted to eat it again.

　　Seeing that Ning Yi is always silent, there is nothing to say. Downey is anxious and he tries to ask: "Ning, what do you think of these teams?"
