The rise of basketball legends

"Congratulations to the host for being selected as the No. 2007 pick in the NBA in 15! Reward [-] honor points!"

There are also honor points for being selected in the draft?

comfortable!

I have to say that this system is really conscientious!

After completing all the procedures of the draft, Chen Yan came to the sun box.

"Chen! Welcome to the big family of the sun!"

As soon as they met the head coach D'Antoni and the owner Savo, they took turns hugging Chen Yan, and they were very enthusiastic.

When D'Antoni hugged Chen Yan's shoulders and arms, they were stronger than expected. They belonged to that kind of lean and strong type, and they should be able to quickly adapt to the intensity of the NBA!

Savo stared at Chen Yan's face for a long time. This was the first time he saw Chen Yan in real life, and he was much more handsome than in the video!

With sharp outlines and sharp corners, coupled with the Chinese market behind it, the business potential is huge!

Businessmen think about making money, coaches think about winning, it's normal~

"You will fall in love with Phoenix, fall in love with the Suns team, I promise." D'Antoni said with a smile.

"I think I have fallen in love with it. I like the running and bombing of the Suns, and I like your coaching style. Among all the teams in the NBA, the Suns' style is the most gorgeous and special. I can't wait to integrate into the team. Already!"

After Chen Yan said this, D'Antoni smiled happily.

This rookie is very mature and sensible, and D'Antoni likes this kind of mentally mature player.

Chen Yan is not flattering D'Antoni, this is called "Emotional Intelligence".

Mustache is not only the head coach of the Suns, but also the vice president and general manager of the Suns. It is necessary to have a good relationship with him.

Before leaving the draft conference venue, Chen Yan even had a special conversation with Durant and Ah Lian.

The next time we meet, we will be rivals.

All three seemed to be in a good mood.

Chen Yan went to a championship-level team, and the team management attaches great importance to him.

Durant went to the Celtics with a glorious history, and Angie promised to give him unlimited firepower in the first season, allowing him to play freely. At this time, Pierce said that MMP didn't know whether to say it or not...

Ah Lian also went to the big ball market he dreamed of. In his previous life, he had a long dispute with the Bucks due to various reasons such as the Bucks' style of play and the ball market. I can't wait to fly to Chicago to sign now.

All three of them have bright futures!

After returning to the room, Chen Yan's excited mood could not be calmed down for a long time.

In his previous life, he was just a basketball fan. There was only one way to enter the NBA, and that was to open the NBA2K game...

But now everything has become a reality.

Chen Yan lay on the bed and recalled everything that happened today. For him, this day was like a dream!

Just like winning the NCAA championship, it is impossible to go to bed early tonight.

Chen Yan opened the text message, and the unread text messages reached 99+ again, all congratulating him on being selected as the No. [-] pick and entering the NBA.

Nash, Hill and Stoudemire also sent messages of blessing to Chen Yan. Chen Yan had a chance encounter with several of them during the "March Madness".

After learning that Chen Yan was traded to the Suns, these people also welcomed him immediately.

The overall atmosphere of the Suns team is great, and there is no faction among teammates, let alone intrigue.

Here every player can concentrate on the court, just like the team boss Nash said: "Basketball should be a fun sport. Sometimes we make it very complicated and serious. In fact, basketball is just a game. .”

Unlike the tense atmosphere elsewhere, basketball in Phoenix really became a treat, not a damned means of livelihood or a liability.

This kind of basketball atmosphere is what Chen Yan likes.

Moreover, veteran players like Nash and Hill are typical representatives of good guys, so Chen Yan doesn't have to worry about being bullied at all.

"Chen! You made it! You entered the NBA! Congratulations!" At this moment, Chen Yan received a call from Taylor Swift.

"Taylor, I also wish you success in advance, the new album is selling well!" During this time, Chen Yan and Taylor Swift have been in touch, and he knows that Taylor Swift is currently working on her second album.

"Haha, I just recorded a song all night, do you want to listen to my new song?"

"OK..."

One realized his dream and successfully entered the NBA, and the other recorded songs for the new album, so the two chatted excitedly until 5 o'clock in the morning...

Not only Chen Yan, his parents were also so excited that night that they didn't sleep a wink.

Yesterday was also a special day for Chen Yan's parents. All kinds of flashing lights, the pursuit of reporters and the enthusiasm of fans really shocked them!

It was also at this moment that the two realized that Chen Yan was no longer a child, but a sports star standing under the spotlight!

Parents are very proud of him, but they are also worried about him, afraid that he will lose himself in this environment.

Waking up the next day, the parents started a duet...

"Xiaoyan, your career has just started. You must guard against arrogance and rashness. Don't forget your original intention of playing basketball. In addition, you must also pay attention to your life style. Sometimes a bad life style will destroy a person."

"Be polite to your teammates and courteous to the fans. Now you are no longer playing on behalf of one person. You must always pay attention to your image. You can see that Yao Ming has done a very good job. You have to set him as a role model!"

Although the parents are a little nagging, they say everything that makes sense.

Many players in the NBA drifted away after being rich and famous. They went to nightclubs to find big butts, got a bunch of illegitimate children, got involved in scandals, and ended up wasting their talents.

Chen Yan didn't take the indulgent route just because he had cheats on him, on the contrary, he paid more attention to self-discipline.

Plug-ins are just aids, and you are the one who actually plays. If your body is crippled and your mind is a mess, how can you perform well on the court?

And the moment Chen Yan entered the league, his goal was no longer an All-Star or superstar.

He wants to end his career as the best player the fans will say he is.

After staying in New York for another three days, Chen Yan bid farewell to his parents.

There is no way, my parents still have jobs in China, so I have to go back.

Chen Yan thought about letting his parents not work and go home to enjoy the blessings. After all, Chen Yan can already make a lot of money every day, and it will only be a lot more in the future.

But this proposal was rejected by the parents. The parents felt that work was already a part of life, and they would feel very empty when they were suddenly idle.

Chen Yan deeply admires this, if his son is so promising, he must go to the mountains and rivers every day...

This is not to say who is right and who is wrong, it can only be said that the concepts of the two generations are very different.

Before leaving at the airport, Chen Yan's father took out a gift box and gave Chen Yan a watch.

This watch is not expensive, but it has a deep meaning in it.

Looking at the back of his parents leaving, Chen Yan carefully put the watch on his hand...

A week later, Chen Yan officially signed a full contract with the Suns accompanied by his agent Bill Duffy!

In D'Antoni's office, Chen Yan signed a 4-year 1960 million 2+2 rookie contract!

All first-round rookies in the NBA have clear salary regulations. From the No. 30 pick to the [-] first-round rookies, they must sign contracts in strict accordance with the prescribed salary table.

This is done because the previous first-round rookies often refused to sign with the team, threatening a high contract.Moreover, some old players will feel resentful when they see unqualified rookies getting lucrative contracts, which leads to a messy atmosphere in the league.

Robinson, the No. 94 pick in [-], was the most typical example. After being selected by the Bucks, the first sentence he said was that I wanted [-] million, otherwise I would quit!

This caused the Bucks management to be overwhelmed. After some negotiations, the Bucks reduced the contract to $10 million in 6800 years.

This number may not make much sense to the NBA now, but you must know that it was the early 90s!

The god of basketball Jordan's annual salary is only 400 million US dollars!

Many super rookies have done things like this lion's big mouth before, so the league has such strict regulations later.

However, the rookie contract can have an increase of 80%-120%. The Suns basically open the contract to Chen Yan according to the highest increase.

Chen Yan's salary in the first year was 425 million US dollars. Although this figure is not a big deal in the league, it is already the top group for rookies.

Many rookies choose to pay in advance, but Chen Yan doesn't use it. He usually doesn't have a lot of expenses, and the endorsement fee alone is enough to live on.

After being selected as the No. [-] pick, Chen Yan received two more endorsements. Although he lost to Oden in the draft, he won a big victory in business!

After signing the rookie contract, Chen Yan returned to his residence in Phoenix.

This residence was found by Bill Duffy before. It is a large flat of 235 square meters, located in a rich area.

The reason for choosing a rich area is not for anything else, but mainly for safety.

Although Phoenix ranks third in public security management among American cities and is considered one of the safest cities, there is still a big difference between wealthy areas and ordinary residences.

Bill Duffy had asked Chen Yan before whether he wanted to rent a villa. Chen Yan thought it was unnecessary. After all, he was alone, and he often came home late at night after the game. Living in a big villa felt like a panic...

The large flat of 235 square meters is enough to meet his needs.

"Chen, see what furniture you need, you can tell me directly!" Bill Duffy said to Chen Yan with a smile.

Chen Yan rubbed his chin: "I don't need the furniture, it's quite complete, but the car is missing."

Bill Duffy said he understood, so he took his employer to see the car!

Like all young people, Chen Yan also has a soft spot for sports cars. With the help of Bill Duffy, Chen Yan bought a red Ferrari 26 for $458!

"Boom! Boom!"

The roar of the engine during the test drive made Chen Yan feel extremely excited.

Many people say that a sports car like Ferrari is either born with it, or it cannot be bought for a lifetime.

Now Chen Yan likes to mention the Ferrari 458 with his own efforts, this feeling is very good!

After resting for less than half a day, Chen Yan immediately devoted himself to training, and now it is far from the time to enjoy life.

The Suns are a strong team, which means that the fans will have high demands on themselves!

Similarly, Chen Yan also has high requirements for himself, not only his personal data must be good, but also the team's record must keep up. After all, he does not want to be ridiculed as a brush by the outside world.

On July 7, after training, Chen Yan turned on his computer and suddenly saw a trade news from the Celtics!

The Big Three are coming?

In Chen Yan's memory, the Big Three of the Celtics were formed almost in this timeline.

As a result, when he turned on the news, Chen Yan was stunned.

In the news is a photo of Pierce, which shows that Paul Pierce was ruthlessly traded to the Raptors by general manager Angie!

The details of this deal are that the Celtics sent Pierce and Szczerbiak in exchange for Chris Humphries, Delfino, Garbajosa, plus a future first-round pick and a second pick from the Raptors. round of picks!

Seeing this news, the reaction of ordinary fans: Is Bosh going to team up with Pierce?

Chen Yan's reaction: WTF! ?Celtics Big Three gone? ? ?

In his previous life, when he formed the Big Three of the Celtics, General Manager Angie's intention was to bet on the present.

And now sending away Paul Pierce to train Durant with all his strength, Angie is betting on the future!

It can be said that in this timeline, Angie chose a completely different path!

Chen Yan fell into deep thought...

I don't know if James will play brother basketball in the future without the Celtics' Big Three.

Will Durant embark on the road of surrendering to the enemy?

Chen Yan's crossing created a huge butterfly effect in the championship league, and it can even be said to change the future pattern of the NBA!

But only he himself knows this.

This feeling is very exciting, like opening another story line for these NBA players.

For the next few days, Chen Yan stared at the computer whenever he had nothing to do.

Relying on his intuition, Chen Yan feels that there is still a deal to be born, and he is very curious about what will happen next...
