Oakland, Oracle Arena.
Sun Yi and Schwartz took a car to the arena gate and met Curry and Austin.
This was what he and Curry had discussed before, and they agreed to come to the Warriors to sign together.
After reminiscing about old times, Sun Yi and his team entered the arena and met Larry Riley, the general manager of the Warriors who was responsible for signing the contract.
Schwartz and Austin came forward to communicate with Larry Riley respectively, and then officially signed the contract.
Rookie players' contracts are basically fixed and do not require bargaining.
Larry Riley handed Sun Yi and Curry a drafted contract respectively.
As the No. 6 pick, Sun Yi was able to sign a four-year, $14 million contract.
Sun Yi carefully read the contents of the contract and then handed it to Schwartz, asking him to see if there were any loopholes in the contract.
There are generally no errors or omissions in a standard contract like this.
After Schwartz read it quickly, he nodded to Sun Yi, said there was no problem, and handed the contract back.
Sun Yi took over the contract again and signed his name on it.
On the other side, Curry also completed the signing and was shaking hands with Larry Riley.
Nelson didn't know when he came to Sun Yi, stretched out his right hand and said with a smile: "Sun, welcome to join the Golden State Warriors family!"
"Thanks!"
Sun Yi shook hands with Nelson and answered politely.
From now on, he will officially become a member of the Warriors and will stay with this team for at least three seasons.
After the signing was completed, Sun Yi and Curry picked their jersey numbers and then attended the subsequent press conference.
Curry still kept his college number and chose jersey No. 30.
Sun Yi's college number had already been taken by his teammates, so he immediately chose the No. 9 jersey.
Choosing the number 9 was a final decision made by Sun Yi after careful consideration. It was not like randomly choosing a number in college.
9 is the largest odd number, which means the number nine and five, and is very auspicious.
Moreover, the number 9 turned over is 6, which corresponds to his draft pick.
After everything is ready, the press conference begins.
Sun Yi held up a No. 9 Warriors jersey, while Curry next to him held a No. 30 Warriors jersey.
In the audience, the media reporters raised their cameras to take photos. These photos will be included in their news reports tomorrow.
Immediately afterwards, it entered the question-and-answer session of media reporters.
"Stephen, how do you feel about playing with Sun again?"
"I'm very happy to be able to play side by side with my guy again. He is very good. You will know in the following games that playing with that guy is simply a joy." After Curry finished speaking, he specifically pointed to Sun Yat-sen on the side. Yi.
Upon seeing this, Sun Yi also said some words to praise Curry to the media reporters, and the two of them just exchanged business praises openly.
In the subsequent interviews, in order to take care of his compatriots, Sun Yi specially selected a few Chinese reporters and answered several of their questions in a satisfactory manner.
After the press conference, Sun Yi and Curry left the training hall together.
Now they will play in Oakland, and the place to live has not yet been settled.
Sun Yi and Curry discussed it and decided not to buy a house for the time being. They planned to rent a house.
After they make a lot of money in the NBA, they will take one step further and buy a mansion.
In fact, it is not uncommon for NBA players to rent houses.
Most players choose to rent a house because they are worried about being traded and the house they bought in the city of their original team will not be used at all.
With Schwartz's help, the two quickly found a place to stay.
In a high-end apartment complex 20 kilometers away from Oracle Arena, Sun Yi and Curry each rented a suite.
After solving the housing problem, Sun Yi and his team went to the nearest 4S store. He and Curry each bought a scooter.
In this way, they can save a lot of time by training every day.
After everything was done, Sun Yi and the other four went to a nearby restaurant to celebrate by having a delicious dinner.
The next day, Schwartz parted ways with Sun Yi. He was going to Los Angeles to attend Blake Griffin's signing ceremony.
When leaving, Sun Yi asked Schwartz to hurry up and finalize the candidate for the press officer.
"Sun, I will implement this matter as soon as possible and find you an excellent press officer."
"Jeff, I'll excuse you. Have a nice trip."
After two or three months of getting along, Sun Yi and Schwartz's relationship took a further step, and their names also changed.
On the other side, Curry's agent Austin also left after settling the primary school student's affairs.
In this way, only Sun Yi and Curry remained in Oakland.
After some discussion, the two decided to start daily training again.
During this period, Curry's girlfriend Ayesha came to the apartment and stayed for a few days. After lingering with the elementary school student, she reluctantly left.
She is going to Los Angeles across the street to pursue her dream of becoming a star.
When parting, Curry made a request to Ayesha.
"My dear, you go to Hollywood to help Sun look for a suitable girl."
After hearing this, Ayesha agreed without hesitation.
She really should find a girlfriend for Sun Yi, otherwise the primary school students will no longer belong to her.
After Curry said goodbye to Ayesha, he drove directly to the Warriors training facility and joined the training.
Sun Yi was so powerful, he couldn't lag behind.
In the days that followed, Sun Yi and Curry basically spent every day in the training hall, waiting for the summer league to arrive.
"Man, give it a rest! I feel like my body is going to give out."
Curry sat on the floor sweating profusely, looking at Sun Yi who was still training, and felt abnormal in his heart.
After he met Sun Yi, he felt that this guy was like a robot, as if he never knew how tired he was.
"Stephen, you are still too weak. Only training can make us stronger."
"By the way, I heard that Monta Ellis is a little dissatisfied with the team's selection of you, and plans to teach you a lesson during the team's training." Sun Yi said nonsense seriously.
Curry also heard about this and said in an unconvinced tone: "How can I, a fucking rookie, beat that guy? It's really too much!"
"Stephen, you will only know if you win by fighting. You must improve your strength now to increase your chances of winning."
After Sun Yi finished cheating, he pulled Curry up from the floor.
"Sun, you're right. I haven't played before and I don't know who will win or lose. I will definitely impress that guy!"
The competitive spirit in Curry's heart was aroused, and he wanted to become stronger extremely strongly.
Immediately, the two continued to engage in high-intensity confrontation training.
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was time for the summer league to begin.
Sun Yi and Curry were forced to stop their daily training and go to join the Warriors team for the summer league.
Led by Warriors assistant coach Sky Smart, Sun Yi and his team took a plane to Las Vegas to compete in the summer league.
