I'm really good at shooting.

Chapter 603 Renewing the contract with the Warriors!

The first thing he did when he came back was to turn on social media to see what had happened in the past period of time.

Immersed in family joy in Hawaii, except for Gu Yi's phone call, he didn't pay attention to the free market.

Seeing so many news this time, it feels similar to the feeling of waking up early in the morning with a mobile phone to check the news in my previous life.

Then, there is such a scene:
Boozer went to the Wizards?
Interesting!This historical enemy turned out to be a teammate!

Ben Gordon to the Pistons?
Is the Pistons still a defense-oriented team?It seems that the countdown is coming for Anthony to leave Detroit!
The Nuggets actually asked for big money?
It's better to ask O'Neill directly!
Well, the village network...

Of course not all.

Because the free market will end soon after Sun Hao returns, and other signings will be completed one after another.

For example, Turkoglu signed with the Jazz for 5 million in five years.

There is a big difference between here and in history.

The reason for this is because of the current salary structure of the Magic.

Howard's maximum salary contract came into effect this season, plus Arenas and Lewis, this is already three maximum salary.

Although Howard has just finished his rookie season and the maximum salary is not too much, the Magic have also been unable to renew Turkoglu.

Jazz just lost the starting power forward Boozer, plus Okur and Turkoglu are Turks, this result is reasonable.

And before that, the Jazz also brought Hinrich from the Bucks through a trade.

Hinrich, Ronnie Brewer, Kirilenko, Turkoglu, Okur.

The configuration of the Jazz, standard team basketball, will also have some competitiveness in the Western Conference next season.

For another example, the battle for Marion finally came to fruition.

Marion chose to join the Nuggets for 5 million in five years.

The average term of this contract is only more than 700 million. Compared with Marion's contract of more than 1700 million last year, the standard is only a fraction.

His market price is close to that of Odom, and it should be in the tens of millions.

But unlike Odom, Marion's average annual salary is less than expected because of signing a long-term contract.

After all, he is 31 years old now, and he will be 36 years old after this contract ends.

For a short post player, that's almost retirement age.

The Nuggets getting Marion is also their best result.

This is tantamount to a big change inside, Martin + Camby, replaced by Marion + Big Ben, the height of the inside has plummeted, but the flexibility has greatly increased.

This is obviously what Karl wants to see more.

Besides, Marion's choice of the Nuggets is also very understandable.

On the one hand, the Nuggets are still a championship-level team.

On the other hand, he can't go to the Heat either!
As far as what Pat Riley did to O'Neal, it may not take long to be sold as a bargaining chip after going to the Heat.

Whip Riley every day, feel sorry for Wade every day...

Wade, together with Anthony, entered the countdown to leaving the team.

Finally, there is the Warriors.

Two days after Sun Hao returned to Oakland, he signed a four-year maximum salary contract of 4 million yuan with the Warriors.

Some people will ask why there is a gap between Sun Hao's contract and Kobe's.

This is because the NBA maximum salary contract has rules, 0 to 6 years, 7 to 9 years, and more than 10 years, the starting salary of the maximum salary is different.

Kobe has played in the league for 13 years, and the maximum starting salary he can sign is 35% of the salary cap, while Sun Hao has only played for 8 years, and the starting salary is only 30% of the salary cap.

Moreover, Sun Hao's contract is a 2+1+1 model, and he will have a player option in two years.

In other words, two years later, that is, after he has played in the NBA for 10 years, he will be able to start signing a maximum salary contract of 35% of the salary cap.

Although Fu Paulo became a monk halfway, after so many years, he is still very capable in the field of brokerage.

Of course, this is not the only check written by the Warriors owner this year.

After signing Sun Hao, the Warriors immediately renewed Durant with a five-year standard maximum salary contract of 5 million.

Durant still has one year left on his rookie contract, and this kind of early renewal for the third year is also a routine operation.

In addition to Durant, among the 06 rookies, Roy also reached such a contract with the Trail Blazers.

These two are also the only two rookies in the 06 class to get such a big contract.

Then, in addition to Sun Hao and Durant, there are three people who came to the team's general manager's office to sign today, Curry, Danny Green and Matthews.

This is to wait for Sun Hao to come back and sign everyone at once.

Because the contract is signed, the Warriors have to hold a press conference.

For the remaining three, Curry has a standard lottery contract, 4 years 1689 million, 2+1+1 model.

Green signed a 4-year 500 million contract, fully guaranteed in the first year, partially guaranteed in the next three years and also with team options.

Matthews signed a two-year, $2 million contract that is completely non-guaranteed, and the second year is also a team option.

Let's talk about the jersey numbers of the three.

Curry is number 30.

The reason he chose this number is simple, because his father Dell Curry also wears the number 30.

This is the inheritance of the mantle. It is rare for father and son to have the same number in the NBA, and it is also a very unique thing.

And that's what he did in college.

Green is No. 4.

The same team has different fates. Green wore the number 14 in college, and he also wants to continue to wear this number after entering the league.

However, because the team is currently wearing No. 14, Landry is a second-round pick who has just entered the league. Naturally, he is not qualified to let others pass, so he finally chose No. 4.

Matthews is number 23.

In contrast, Matthews is relatively lucky. The somewhat special number 23 is not special for the Warriors.

He's wearing his college jersey number as he wished.

But in fact, for Green and Matthews, the number is not the most important thing.

The most important thing for them now is to play well in the following summer league and strive to stay in the team.

Each signing will have a close-up shot that the team uses to announce it on social media.

After posing for photos, they should go to the press conference.

Before signing, their respective jerseys were prepared in advance, because there was a makeup photo before the press conference.

This time the team arrangement is also very interesting, let the three rookies take a group photo together, Curry is in the C position, with a cold expression on his face.

No matter how I look at this photo, I find it funny.

Curry, on the other hand, seemed to be having a good time.

Looking back at these photos after a few years, the people in the photos will definitely have a lot of emotions.

Finally, there is the press conference.

The conference site was full.

Sun Hao had been playing disappearing before, and immediately announced that he was with the Warriors after he appeared. This operation made most people's brains buzz.

So reporters have too many questions to ask him right now.

No, just as Sun Hao sat down, a bunch of people below raised their hands in unison.

This stunned Curry who was sitting next to him.

He had never seen this spectacular scene before. Wow!

The staff on the side chose one "randomly".

"Hello, I'm Sean Lackey, a reporter from ESPN. I want to ask Sun, why did you choose to renew your contract with the Warriors in the end?"

It's a very common question, and it's also the one that the journalists below are most concerned about.

"I decided to stay from the very beginning."

Sun Hao's answer caused a commotion below.

This is killer!

"……why?"

The reporter named Lackey was also stunned for a while, and then asked questions.

"You know, moving is a hassle, and I've just settled into Auckland and I feel comfortable with everything."

Sun Hao's answer made the reporters in the audience laugh together.

He didn't say anything about little secrets, but there was nothing wrong with what he said.

There are also several levels of players. Role players need to go to a team that has playing time, and superstars need to go to a team that suits them. For someone like him, of course, comfort comes first!
Because they are the cornerstones, they determine the lower limit!

After this question, other reporters were pointed out one after another, and all of them were Sun Hao.

There are all kinds of questions, some are unwilling to ask him why he did not choose a certain team, some ask where he went when he disappeared...

This scene made Curry and Green on the side even more dumbfounded.

This newcomer meeting is dedicated to Sun Hao!
On the contrary, Durant has obviously adapted to this scene, and has just taken out his mobile phone to play under the table.

There were too many questions, and Sun Hao was a little numb to the answers.

Just when he was about to say, "Are you also asking other people questions?" the next reporter who stood up "stealed" his words.

"Stephen, the outside world doesn't think well of you now. They think it's not a wise choice for the Warriors to replace you with the starting point guard. What do you think of this voice?"

The reporter asked questions, but no one answered.

Curry turned his head and looked at Sun Hao foolishly. When Green on the other side reminded him, he realized that he was asking the question.

"Excuse me?"

The first sentence of Curry's career in the Warriors also amused everyone below.

The guy probably didn't realize he was asking the question, and the question didn't catch him!
"Hi, I'm Adrian Woyonovsky from ESPN...”

The reporter was patient, not only repeated the question, but also introduced himself again.

Sun Hao froze for a moment, then fixed his gaze on the reporter who asked the question.

Good guy, isn't this woj!
Because he was too young, he didn't recognize it all at once.

Curry heard the question clearly this time, but the first question he faced in his NBA career was a bit sharp.

After all, this kind of thing is beyond his control.

He didn't know how to answer at first, and finally burst into laughter.

Because of that baby face, this smile doesn't make people feel silly, on the contrary, it is indescribably cute.

This is really like a primary school student who is at a loss!

"I can only do the best that I can control, I mean, I will do my best to help the team."

Curry said after laughing.

The attitude of these words is relatively low, and it also highlights Curry's character. He is not a player like Kobe Iverson, and may even be completely the opposite.

But there is nothing wrong with what he said, after all, he is just a player.

"We are very optimistic about the talent of Steph. He has the opportunity to grow into an All-Star and even a better player."

Jerry West then took the microphone and offered to add something.

What this means is that you should stop beeping about this kind of question, the management is all looking at his talent.

Woj's reaction was quite quick, he didn't ask any more questions, and just sat down.

However, his question successfully dispersed the question, and Durant and Green also received some questions one after another.

When the press conference was over and Curry went out with Sun Hao, he found woj waiting for them at the door.

"I'm sorry I mentioned such an offensive question earlier, can I buy you a cup of coffee to apologize?"

Woj's face is full of apology, and full of sincerity.

If Sun Hao didn't know who he was, he would probably be moved by his sincerity.

But knowing woj's words... I believe your ghost!
This is probably trying to get some unknown news from Curry's mouth.

If a kid like Curry who has just entered the league really sat down with him, it is estimated that everything that should be said and should not be said will be poached.

And judging from this wave of operations, woj does have something.

The odds of Curry accepting a private interview with a stranger are slim, but the odds of refusing an apology from a seemingly inexperienced reporter are high.

Everyone's success is not accidental.

Of course, Sun Hao will not let this "success" happen.

"Stephen accepts your apology, but he still has something to do with me, so there's no need to drink coffee."

Before Curry could speak, Sun Hao refused for him.

Woj's expression was slightly embarrassed.

His thinking was good, but he ignored the variables brought about by Sun Hao's existence.

"I'm a columnist for ESPN, if you need anything, please contact me."

However, he quickly adjusted his mood and took out two business cards from his pocket with a smile.

Sun Hao did not refuse the business card, and left with Curry after receiving it.

"The next time you encounter this situation, don't feel embarrassed, just refuse."

After walking a little further, Sun Hao guided Curry.

It can be seen from various details that Sun Hao really regards Curry as his eldest nephew.

"He shouldn't have any malice, right?"

Curry nodded, but couldn't help but say something.

Sun Hao stopped at this moment, and then looked at Curry with a serious expression.

"Stephen, as a group of reporters, news materials are their job. You don't want your relationship with Ayesha to be written and reported by reporters one day, do you?"

Curry shook his head frantically after hearing it.

"I understand."

Curry is not stupid.

It's not that he hasn't encountered reporters in the NCAA, but obviously, Woj's methods are a notch higher than those reporters.

He learned a lesson from Sun Hao before entering the NBA.

After the press conference, Curry, Green and Matthews followed the assistant coach to Las Vegas.

Like Sun Hao back then, they are about to start their summer league tour.

Sun Hao was not idle either.

Because of his temporary comeback last year, he didn't have much time to adjust and recover.

This summer, without the national team, is also the best opportunity for him.

But this time he didn't bury himself in training, but planned to go to Houston first.

He is going to be Yao Ming's junior, to learn dream footsteps from Olajuwon.

Just as he was heading to Houston, a system prompt sounded in his mind.

"Congratulations to the host, the system has successfully unlocked version 3.0."

This system, it has been upgraded! !

　During this period of time, my mental state is very poor, and I can’t sleep very well. I will update 4000 words for a while, let me adjust it, I’m really sorry
