"So...you mean an annual salary of 24 million for two years? Oh! God! This price is too outrageous...Zhao, I know you are very powerful, but do you understand? Stephen His annual salary is just over 10 million US dollars, and he is the core of our team..."
"Please! It was just Stephen's rookie contract. It gave the Warriors a big bargain... In less than a year or two, a new league broadcast contract will be reached, and then the annual salaries of all players will be different. The degree of improvement..."
"But in this case, 12 million a year is still too much. We need to think about this and communicate with the team management..."
"Of course, you can communicate at any time. It didn't say that we have to complete the signing today. It was just a discussion... But I have to remind you that the Heat have already made another offer to me after LeBron left. , Mr. Pat said that no matter what price any team offers, he will try to keep me..."
"Furthermore, I am fully qualified to help the Warriors reach the finals...I don't have to be a starter, as long as I guarantee 20+ playing time in each game...This is already mine. Would they be willing to give in and switch to another player?”
"This...then wait a moment, we need to communicate with the team..."
In a private high-end club in Pearl City, Zhao Feiyang and two Warriors management members were discussing a new contract.
The conditions offered by the Warriors are certainly not the best, but if they meet Zhao Feiyang's two-year signing requirements, then Zhao Feiyang's first choice is naturally them.
In fact, the Miami Heat also made an offer to Zhao Feiyang. Pat Riley was very sad after LeBron James left. He even made a public speech to denounce LeBron James' "betrayal" behavior, although he himself It's a little unreasonable, but that doesn't stop him from wielding a "moral stick" against LeBron James.
LeBron James' departure from Miami is a foregone conclusion, and the man born in Akron is destined to return to his hometown team.
Therefore, Pat Riley also tried to preserve the team's spark and keep other core players.
Needless to say, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, Zhao Feiyang is one of the heroes of the team's championship. Even though he is a little older, he is also a target that Pat Riley attaches great importance to.
Pat Riley offered Zhao Feiyang a four-year, 44 million contract, which was not bad in terms of price, but not very good either.
Zhao Feiyang did not see his sincerity, so he naturally did not agree.
More importantly, his position overlaps with Dwyane Wade. Dwyane Wade has already expressed dissatisfaction with him for the team's status. If he continues to stay, he will inevitably suffer more in the future. Crackdown and exclusion.
These things may not happen, but it is still necessary to take precautions.
The communication between the Warriors only took ten minutes. Ten minutes later, the two managers of the Warriors returned to the box. After some manipulation, they directly placed the new contract in front of Zhao Feiyang.
"Zhao, we have communicated with General Manager Bob... He said he was sorry that he could not come to China to meet you in person..."
"There is no problem with the contract. The Warriors are willing to reach this contract with you!"
Upon seeing this, Zhao Feiyang finally breathed a sigh of relief and shook hands with the other party in a friendly manner.
The legal team members they brought also began to study the details of the contract. After another hour of communication between the two parties, they found that there were no problems before Zhao Feiyang picked up a pen and signed his name.
The contract was signed successfully.
Everything is settled.
The Warriors officials also released the news immediately.
In China, many media also received the news ten minutes after the signing was completed, so reports on this matter appeared in major sports forums.
Many fans have different opinions on Zhao Feiyang joining the Golden State Warriors, and they are also discussing it heatedly in relevant sections of major forums.
"Joining the Warriors? This...isn't it a bit bad? Does Zhao Feiyang have the ball? Curry and Thompson are the core they have specially cultivated. Those two guys are willing to share the ball with Zhao Feiyang. Right?"
"Then how will we play in the future? Will the Warriors let three guards go up at the same time to play a three-back lineup? But this is not impossible, but can the Warriors' inside line withstand it?"
"Zhao Feiyang can also play without the ball. His three-point shooting feel is no worse than Curry and Thompson, but it's hard to say whether he can have a chemical effect. In short, I only believe in one thing. If the three of them are together, the ball will definitely not be divided enough. of......."
"This choice is stupid. Zhao Feiyang is definitely not compatible with them! Ball possession is a big problem. The bigger problem is that the defense of the three of them is not good enough... Unless Zhao Feiyang is willing to come off the bench to lead the third team The second team, otherwise I feel it would be difficult..."
"There are too many guards who can play in the league. Some teams are suitable for Zhao Feiyang, but the other team has no intention of taking him... If you ask me, it is better to follow LeBron James to the Cavaliers. Forget it...it's just that Irving may not be willing to share the ball with him..."
There are different opinions from the outside world, but Zhao Feiyang joining the Golden State Warriors has become a reality.
The day after the news was exposed, Heat officials also sent their blessings to Zhao Feiyang on their website and expressed their gratitude to him. After all, he helped the Heat win a championship.
Others in the league, such as Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, as Zhao Feiyang's former teammates, also took the initiative to send blessings.
"Zhao, congratulations on starting a new life!"
"Zhao, we will meet again in the future. I hope we have another chance to fight together... I wish you a safe journey..."
LeBron James, who returned to the Cleveland Cavaliers, also posted an update on this matter on his personal social media account.
"Zhao is a guy who is passionate about the game. I enjoy playing with you... I hope we have the opportunity to play together again in the future... Man, congratulations... ..”
Zhao Feiyang was also very pleased with the blessings from his former teammates.
However, after the meeting with the management of the Golden State Warriors, Zhao Feiyang went to the national team to report immediately.
The national team has only one day left before the next warm-up match, and he must practice with his teammates before the next game.
One is to get familiar with each other's styles, and the other is to see the true strength of this team.
Mingzhu City Gymnasium.
The players of the China Men's Basketball Team are holding a training match here. A group of players are divided into two teams to compete. The head coach Ma Lei stands aside with his hands folded on his chest to give instructions.
"Be careful...what happened?"
"Vote when it's time to vote, why are you hesitating?"
"This ball was too bad. If I were the referee, I would definitely blow you... If I were you, I would be embarrassed to say that I am from the national team..."
When the atmosphere of the on-site training was the most enthusiastic, a familiar figure appeared in front of everyone.
Zhao Feiyang, who had just finished reporting, slowly walked into the gym in training clothes. His appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention. The players all stopped and stood there. Even the head coach Ma Lei looked at him in shock. to him.
"Zhao Feiyang is here?"
"This guy is finally here!"
