The King of the NBA

　　 Downey talked to the Timberwolves president Philip Sanders and mentioned that Ning Yi is only willing to sign a one-year contract, but Downey has a condition that this must be a guaranteed contract with an annual salary of 2.6 million US dollars.

This is definitely a big lion's mouth. The average dropout can only take hundreds of thousands, but Downey wants 2.6 million. This year's first round of rookie CJ McCollum's salary in the first year is only 2.32 million US dollars. .

　　 Originally Downey was playing drums, thinking that the other party would not agree.

　　 But it turned out that Philip Sanders was very happy, and after a short consideration, he agreed: "Okay, just like that, I can take the lead, sign a one-year contract, and an annual salary of 2.6 million."

　　 finished, he said with regret in his face: "It's a pity, we really appreciate Ning, and hope he can stay in the Timberwolves. A 2+1 contract is our sincerity."

　　 "sorry." Downey suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, also pretending to be a pity, and put the responsibility on Ning Yi, "This is Ning's meaning, you know, I'm just a broker."

　　 "I understand." Sanders took Downey's hand as if he had been friends for many years. "In any case, Ning is a member of our Timberwolves, isn't it?"

　　 "Yes." Downey nodded even.

　　 This conversation is very happy, very harmonious.

　　Finally, Downey asked Ning Yi and negotiated with Sanders about the signing time. The Timberwolves could arrange a press conference after signing.

　　 When Downey walked out of Sanders' office, the happiness in his heart could no longer be suppressed and he smirked.

　　Although this is not a 2+1 contract or $7 million, if the average annual salary is calculated, this one-year contract is still several hundred thousand dollars higher than the original one.

　　 "I thought Sampus would not agree, I didn't expect to be so happy." Downey said to himself, suddenly annoyed again, "Well, he is so happy, is 2.6 million too few?"

　　 also blamed Donny for not seeing big money, otherwise it would definitely be reported as 3 million.

　　Of course, just think about it. Downey still thinks people will not agree, after all, Ning Yi's identity is still a draft, the performance of several games in the preseason, the gold content is not very high.

　　 Donny did not know that even if he wanted a 3 million, Sanders would consider it, not necessarily agree, but at least he would seriously consider it.

　　 In fact, Sanders originally intended to give Ning Yi a one-year contract with an annual salary of about 2 million.

　　 But when Sanders asked Adelman for his opinion, Adelman made it clear that it is best to give Ning Yi a contract of at least 1+1, which is guaranteed, just like other rookies.

Adelman's original words were: "I think Ning is a very good player. He has excellent shooting ability and running ability. He does not occupy much of the ball and can provide a stable score. This is what we need. Moreover, his progress is very fast, and he may be an amazing player in the future. I think we must give him enough attention and respect, and a good contract can represent our sincerity."

　　 said Sanders frowned, but the coach is only responsible for leading the team, the record, trading players, signing players, these are still the general manager's responsibility.

　　 Finally, Sanders discussed with the Timberwolves boss, or the Timberwolves boss made a final decision, directly set a 2+1 contract, starting salary of 2 million.

　　Since the boss has said this, Sanders naturally has nothing to say, just to be a smooth water relationship, and on the basis of this 2 million, added a little, and it has become a total of 7 million US dollars.

However, from the bottom of my heart, Sanders still feels a little disadvantaged. Ning Yi's physical fitness is not excellent, and his technology is very simple. Besides the Asian name, there are really no good players in Asia. The same is a bleak ending. He didn't think Ning Yi was worth the price.

　　In fact, the Timberwolves boss doesn't think Ning Yi is worth the price, but who made Ning Yi a Chinese, and behind him was the cake of someone in the Chinese market?

　　 So, when Downey asked Ning Yi to sign a contract for only one year, Sanders was happy.

　　 Don't be embarrassed at this time, because it is Ning Yi's own request, just give a one-year contract, the salary will be higher, it will be one year anyway.

"When the season is over, Ning will do nothing. Then Adelman will know he was wrong. Well, the boss will also know that I saved a lot of money for the team." Sanders felt sad and sent Tang away. Ni went to the Timberwolves boss afterwards.

　　 In fact, Sanders is not a good general manager, he has also worked as the head coach, but he is also not a good head coach, otherwise the Timberwolves will not always miss the playoffs for a few years.

　　 But there is one thing, he really wholeheartedly for the Timberwolves.

　　Maybe precisely because of this, for so many years, even if Sanders did not do much, the position of the Timberwolves has remained the same.

　　When the Timberwolves owner knew that Ning Yi was only willing to sign for a year, he thought a lot, but in the end, he said nothing, because Ning Yi insisted so, and said nothing.

　　 And, for now, signing a one-year contract is indeed a good choice.

　　......

　　Two days later, Ning Yi officially signed with the Timberwolves~www.NovelMTL.com~ This afternoon, the Timberwolves announced this news on the official website, and then held a press conference the next day to welcome Ning Yi to join.

　　Ning Yi naturally had to attend the press conference.

　　 At the press conference, it is inevitable to be thankful, sighed, sighed...

　　 The reporter also asked some questions. Ning Yi answered selectively. He is not a young man in his 20s. His soul is far more mature than his body. He knows what to say and what not to say.

　　On this day, the news that Ning Yi officially signed the Timberwolves appeared on the homepages of major sports media, and then on major sports newspapers and magazines.

　　......

at the same time.

　　Hua Xia, countless fans boiled.

　　Ning Yi officially signed the Timberwolves, which is what people have always expected. When this moment comes, a stone in people's hearts finally landed. Starting today, nba has another Chinese player.

　　Countless fans reposted Ning Yi's contract with the Timberwolves on personal media, or uploaded Ning Yi's photos. I wish everyone around me would know.

　　Some fans started to shout at the Basketball Association from the air and asked Ning Yi to enter the national team.

　　 These words are not just one or two people, but many people say so. However, as early as Ning Yi participated in the preseason, the basketball association noticed him.

　　 The question now is, how to do it?

　　 Of course, these Ning Yi are not clear, and he does not care about these. The signing of the contract is predictable, and there is already psychological preparation, so the excitement also fades.

　　 At this time, he was eating with Ye Qian.

　　 Today, Ye Qian has time, and Ning Yi also has time. Just to have a meal together is also a celebration of Ning Yi’s signing of the Timberwolves and officially becoming an nba player.
