10:0.
When the live scoreboard turned to the last beat, the trial training for Zhao Feiyang finally ended. He fought with Heat player Tony Douglas until his whole body was covered in sweat, almost from head to toe.
Both of them were very tough and used all their strength in the confrontation, especially Tony Douglas. When he was crushed by Zhao Feiyang at first, he resisted, so he even made some foul moves during the confrontation.
But as Zhao Feiyang's crushing became more and more ruthless, and when the gap became more and more obvious, Tony Douglas lost his self-confidence and was completely beaten to the point of losing his temper.
"congratulations."
"You are the most powerful Chinese player I have ever seen! I think you are fully qualified to play in the NBA!"
Tony Douglas spoke.
Zhao Feiyang also smiled and high-fived the other party as a sign of goodwill.
"You're good too, man!"
Tryout is over.
Zhao Feiyang ended the battle with a crushing attitude. When he came to Pat Riley, the latter's face already had a smile that could not be concealed.
"Yes, your performance exceeded my expectations."
"Let's go! Let's talk about the contract together!"
Pat Riley took Zhao Feiyang and his agent David Stock to his office. In the office, Pat Riley also took out the contract template that he had prepared a long time ago. Without any hesitation, he filled in the key areas above and handed it to Zhao Feiyang after confirming that it was correct.
Zhao Feiyang flipped through the pages a few times, and when he saw the key annual salary data, he immediately became excited, "100,000 US dollars?"
"Mr. Pat, are you kidding me?"
This price was something Zhao Feiyang didn't expect.
He knew that Pat Riley was ruthless, but he didn't expect that this guy was completely inhumane.
"Young man, this price is just your quotation for this season! If you play well enough, you can get a higher annual salary next season. I guarantee you that as long as you can play your value, your annual salary next season will not be It will be less than $2 million..."
Zhao Feiyang almost laughed out loud when he heard Pat Riley's words.
Painting cakes is a trick that Chinese people are best at, but for the other party to do it in front of me is simply "playing tricks".
Even if the Lakers gave him a non-guaranteed contract, he would be able to earn a full $500,000 after a season, but the man with gray hair in front of him only wanted to buy himself for $100,000!
This is simply stingy!
Zhao Feiyang knew that he could not compromise when dealing with such a cunning person, so he stopped the agent who was about to argue with Pat Riley, got up and walked directly to the door of the office, responding to Pat Riley as he walked.
"Mr. Pat, to put it bluntly, even if I go back to China and choose a club, the annual salary I get will only be much more than this, not to mention there will be some additional endorsement fees... ..”
"I'm not a beggar. If you can't show enough sincerity, then please find someone else..."
Zhao Feiyang's timing was very accurate. He walked to the door as soon as he finished saying this, without giving Pat Riley any more time to hesitate.
"Wait a moment."
Pat Riley finally stood up from his seat. He lost his previous calmness and had a look of helplessness on his face. He walked quickly to Zhao Feiyang and pulled him back to his seat.
"Okay! You convinced me!"
"How much do you want?"
When Zhao Feiyang heard what Pat Riley said, he was not in a hurry. Instead, he took out his mobile phone and searched online. Regarding his move, Pat Riley and his agent David Stock were puzzled. They didn't understand what Zhao Feiyang was going to do.
It wasn't until a minute later that Zhao Feiyang showed the phone to Pat Riley for a look.
"I checked the annual salary of other people on the team's official website. Tony Douglas, who I played against, made $1.6 million this season. I defeated him 10-0, which is enough to show my strength... So, I want double his annual salary..."
As soon as Zhao Feiyang opened his mouth, Pat Riley immediately shook his head in denial.
"No, that's absolutely impossible."
"You are about to be 30 years old, Tony is only 27 years old, and no other team has made an offer for you now. If you don't choose us, then you can only go back to China..."
Pat Riley said.
Zhao Feiyang was not in a hurry when he heard what he said. Instead, he spoke slowly and organized his words, "I know the Heat are not lacking in popularity, but in China, the Heat are not a team that most fans like... ..."
"If you sign me, the Heat will only become more popular in China, and more people will like it... These markets that the Heat are missing will bring you a lot of benefits... ..”
"Furthermore, the Houston Rockets have always liked Chinese players, and they have a very good relationship with Yao Ming... Why do you think I will never be able to get in touch with them? I think they will definitely be willing to sign a Chinese player. ..."
Zhao Feiyang and Pat Riley were completely unwilling to give in to each other. They kept going back and forth over the contract price. They had various reasons for each other. Even the agent David Stocker was dumbfounded.
"WTF?"
"Am I an agent? Why do I feel that Zhao is more like me than me?"
Fortunately, this argument did not last long. An hour later, the two finally reached an agreement. Pat Riley also compromised to a certain extent and finally signed Zhao Feiyang with an annual salary of US$3 million. However, considering Zhao Feiyang's age and condition, Pat Riley only gave Zhao Feiyang full guarantee for one year. contract.
This means that if Zhao Feiyang cannot produce outstanding data in the remaining seasons, then Zhao Feiyang will be unemployed at the end of this season, and the Heat will not be able to choose to renew his contract next season.
"make a deal."
“Happy to work with!”
Early the next morning, the Heat officially held a press conference for Zhao Feiyang. Although he is only a role player now and is not very famous, he still has some influence in the Chinese circle, so the news spread quickly.
The Chinese fans are of course happy to see this, but the local fans in Miami maintain a wait-and-see attitude. They don't know what Zhao Feiyang's strength is, and more people even have deep doubts about this Chinese player.
When the news spread back to China, some fans who had been badmouthing Zhao Feiyang immediately broke their defense. Many fans who were watching the excitement were also frightened by the news.
Major forums reported frantically immediately.
"What's the situation? Zhao Feiyang signs with the Heat? Three million dollars? Fully guaranteed contract?"
"Holy shit! No! Even if the contract is fully guaranteed, it's still three million dollars? This is much better than the treatment of the Lakers..."
"Awesome! Now that the Heat have Zhao Feiyang, they will be even more powerful. From now on, there will be no shortage of people for outside output. If Ray Allen can recover, the two of them will go up to the left, one to the right, and they will defeat each other just by shooting. Died..."
