Chapter 119 Nix's Small Abacus
Knicks, an amazing team.
It is no exaggeration to describe this team as magical.
As a team in the Golden City of New York, the Knicks can be said to be very rich, and the conditions are no worse than any other team.
But under such circumstances, the Knicks have not achieved any results in more than ten years.
The executives of the Knicks are also talented, competing with the executives of the Thunder, and almost all of them who can play are sent away.
Signers also have many problems, and they have problems every year.
Last year, the Knicks had more than 7000 million salary space, and the free market last summer was very hot, even if the Knicks signed with their eyes closed, they could get a few All-Star players.
But their operation blinded everyone's eyes, and even signed five power forwards in one go!
Even when they signed Durant, they hesitated. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as magical.
Wang Yi's mood was also very complicated when he received the call from the Knicks, feeling that he was offended.
But Wang Yi was here for the first time after all, he was not familiar with the place, and it was not easy to offend people when he came up, so he had to agree to Nix's interview.
Compared to playing in the Knicks, Wang Yi is more inclined to beat them at the Knicks' home court.
This will not only gain a large number of fans in New York, but also avoid the risk of playing in the Knicks. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Although he agreed to the Knicks' meeting, Wang Yi knew very well that even if the Knicks gave him 1000 million a year, he would not go.
Just when Gu Xiaopang came out of the shower, Wang Yi put his mind down for the time being, and prepared to fight with Gu Xiaopang on the US server of LOL.
"I'll go! Why do I feel that the quality of the American server is not good?" Gu Xiaopang easily knocked out the opponent's hand on the road, with a look of disdain.
Wang Yi looked at his stats of 0-6-2 and fell into deep thought, why is Gu Xiaopang's game talent so good!
"To be honest, I feel that you have no hope of playing basketball. Why don't you consider e-sports?" Wang Yi said solemnly.
Unexpectedly, Gu Xiaopang was still unwilling, and quickly shook his fat face.
"I don't. It's so uncomfortable to sit every day. How can it be as comfortable as playing basketball?"
Wang Yi smiled and didn't take it seriously, "I said it casually, it doesn't have any special meaning."
Early the next morning, Wang Yi put on a decent suit and was about to set off.
"Le Yu, you can stay here, and I will go shopping with you when I come back from work."
Su Leyu nodded obediently, and helped Wang Yi straighten his clothes.
"Let's go!" Wang Yi did not forget to call Gu Xiaopang.
"I didn't say that, why do you have to take me with you? My English is only at the junior high school level, so I can't do translation." Gu Xiaopang looked unwilling.
Wang Yi casually tossed the empty briefcase to Gu Xiaopang, straightened his hair and said, "When I watch movies, big characters have to bring a follower or something when they go out. Doesn't this just give you a chance to show off."
"Should I thank you?" Gu Xiaopang looked unhappy.
Wang Yi put his hand on Gu Xiaopang's shoulder, and smiled, "There is no need to be so polite between us, let's go."
An hour later, Wang Yi took Gu Xiaopang around and finally arrived at the agreed coffee shop.
To Wang Yi's surprise, the Knicks sent their general manager Perry.
This made Wang Yi a little embarrassed. I just came here to talk nonsense with you, but I didn't expect you to be serious!
"Hello!" The two greeted politely and shook hands.
As for Gu Xiaopang?
Of course, I took Wang Yi's money and went to the next table to order a bunch of snacks. If there is any advantage, it is the iron baboon.
After sitting down, Wang Yi and Perry looked at each other and smiled politely from time to time.
Wang Yi had also heard a little about this Perry.
Perry once coached at the University of Detroit for five seasons, and later went to the University of Michigan to help the team win the NCAA championship. He also served as the head coach of Eastern Kentucky University.
Perry's experience in the NBA is also very bright.
As the executive director of the Pistons, Perry helped the team build a top-level team that reached the Eastern Conference Finals for six consecutive years, won the Eastern Conference Championship twice, and won the NBA Championship in 2004.
The players Perry helped the team select at the time included Kevin Durant, Oladipo, Gordon, Payton and Hezonia.
In 2017, Perry officially served as the general manager of the Knicks.
As strong as Perry, facing a team like the Knicks, he has more than enough energy but not enough energy. This has to make Wang Yi very wary of the Knicks.
"Wang Yi, it's the first time we meet. My name is Perry, Scott Perry. If you have anything to say, I'll just say it straight."
"Okay, sir." Wang Yi nodded.
Perry took out a document from his briefcase, "I read your scouting report in detail, yes, and your game video. To be honest, I don't agree with some of the remarks in the scouting report."
"Huh?" Wang Yi frowned.
Perry smiled and put the scouting report in front of Wang Yi, pointing to the annotation, "Lewis said he couldn't make an accurate judgment on your talent, and he listed it as a shortcoming. But after watching your game, I found that I can't see the upper limit of your talent at all. This should be a bit of a problem."
"Fuck!" Wang Yi almost said these two words, this Perry has something!It turned out to be exactly the same as what Lewis said yesterday. Could it be that the two of them are partnering to trick me?
"By the way, he also said that you are a risky transaction, but I think you should be the safest transaction." Perry said with a smile.
Wang Yi frowned, his brain was running fast.
The more I think about it, the more wrong it becomes. If Perry is really so good, how could he sign five power forwards when the free market was on fire last year?How could he hesitate when facing Durant?
No matter whether Lewis and Perry set up a game or not, Wang Yi decided so anyway.
Either Lewis was bribed, or Lewis was tricked by others without knowing it.
The purpose of Nix's effort is nothing more than to give Wang Yi a shock, so as to take the initiative in his own hands and let Wang Yi be at their mercy.
Thinking of this, Wang Yi relaxed and continued to smile, "Of course I agree with your point of view."
Sure enough, after seeing Wang Yi's expression change from tense to relaxed, Perry's expression changed from relaxed to tense instead.
This young man is extraordinary!
However, Perry is still an old fox, and he quickly adjusted his state again, and said with a smile: "After consultations with our management, we finally reached a consensus and are willing to sign you into our team."
Wang Yi just looked at Perry with a smile on his face. He knew that Perry must not have finished speaking.
Seeing that Wang Yi did not have any emotional fluctuations, Perry's mood became more and more complicated.
That's weird, shouldn't a player like him be excited to hear he can play in the NBA?Why does he seem unresponsive?
Although there were many questions in his mind, there was no time for Perry to explore them now.
"Of course, this year our team has a first-round pick and a second-round pick. I believe you also know the current situation of our team. There are too many forward players, so we urgently need a shooting guard this year."
After speaking, Perry took a special look at Wang Yi's expression, and to his disappointment, Wang Yi was still looking at him with a smile on his face.
Perry: Why isn't this kid responding at all?
Wang Yi: Why haven't you finished talking about this shit?I want to go shopping with Le Yu!
Of course, these are mental activities.
"The high-quality guards participating in the draft this year include Morant and Barrett, and the team holds the No. [-] pick, so we have to win Morant or Barrett in the first round, and we can only sign you with a contract in the second round."
Before Wang Yi could speak, Perry hastily continued: "Of course, the contract can continue to be negotiated, and the signing fee can also be negotiated."
Grandma is a hammer!This stuff is finally over!I have long seen that you are not a good person!
Although it was absolutely impossible for Wang Yi to agree to Perry's proposal, he still had to do some superficial work.
"Leaving this aside, I just want to know that the Knicks have enough forward players, why should they sign me again? There is no rotation at all."
Although the room temperature was not high, Perry's forehead was covered with sweat.
"We never have too few excellent players. Regarding rotation, I promise to give you a chance to play."
Hearing this, Wang Yi almost couldn't help laughing.
The first sentence is completely polite. To put it bluntly, it is farting.As for the chance to play, if you give a game, you will be given a chance for 1 minute. Is there a bird?
Suddenly, Wang Yi stood up, "It was a pleasure chatting with you, Mr. Perry, but I came to the NBA with my own ideals. Sorry, the Knicks can't satisfy my ideals."
Said that Wang Yi was about to leave, which made Perry very anxious, so he stood up quickly.
"If there is anything wrong, we can still talk, don't leave in a hurry!"
Wang Yi didn't understand, why did this Perry insist on pestering him?
Maybe it's because of their own strength, but they are unwilling to use the first-round contract.
What else could it be?Picture yourself as handsome?
By the way, I have long heard that this place is extremely open, could it be possible!
Looking at the aged Perry in front of him, Wang Yi resolutely dismissed this idea, isn't this a mess!
"Mr. Perry, I appreciate your kindness, but we really don't need to talk anymore."
After finishing speaking, Wang Yi called Gu Xiaopang, who was eating happily, and walked away.
"Brother Yi, it's so fast, how's the talk going, is the Knicks willing to take you with the prospecting contract?"
Wang Yi shook his head, "Even if they use the third-round lottery, I'm not happy, let alone they want to use the second-round lottery!"
"That old man looks very good, there is no bottom line in how to do things! You can't bully us just because we are foreigners!" Gu Xiaopang said indignantly.
Hearing Gu Xiaopang's words, Wang Yi was taken aback, "What did you just say?"
"The old man..."
"Not this sentence, the last sentence." Wang Yi urged.
Gu Xiaopang thought for a while, "It can't be because we are foreigners..."
"I understand!" Wang Yi's eyes lit up, "The Knicks are such a thug! What do you say that they are interested in my strength, but they are actually interested in the market behind me! I just said, and use a second-round pick to disgust me, how unlucky!"
Gu Xiaopang suddenly realized, "I used to hear people say that the NBA is too commercial and I didn't understand it. Now I understand that these executives are all for money!"
"You can't say that. There are some who are sincere, such as Cuban and Nowitzki, but very few." In order to make Gu Xiaopang believe in kindness, Wang Yi also took great pains.
However, after experiencing this incident, Wang Yi's mind has grown. In this strange environment, he really can't trust others easily, or he will be smashed to pieces!

Perry had long since lost the smile just now, and was on the phone with a downcast face.
"He said no, we lost a big market and that's it."
