NBA: The man who passed the ball to Yao Ming

Zi Chunlin was stunned, obviously not expecting Zhang Jinshui to seek her consent at such a critical time.

She said: "I'm just your agent, you can consult my opinion, but the decision is yours, you don't need my consent."

Zhang Jinshui said sincerely: "No, Sister Chunlin, without you, I wouldn't be here today. Therefore, I must get your approval and support for such an important decision."

Zi Chunlin was extremely moved, but still trying to maintain the professionalism of a basketball agent, pretending to be nonchalant and said:

"Okay, then as your agent, I will remind you.

With the strength you showed in today's trial training, you are at least qualified to hit the top ten picks in this year's draft, and the Rockets only have the 24th pick.

This also means that if you choose to join the Rockets, you will lose hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars in salary every year. "

"I don't care about this." Zhang Jinshui shook his head and smiled.

"One million dollars per year, four years is four million dollars, and I will lose a lot even with my commission. It seems that you really like the Rockets very much." Zi Chunlin pretended to be helpless.

Zhang Jinshui said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Sister Chunlin, I hope you can understand, playing for the Rockets and partnering with Yao Ming has always been my dream."

"Don't apologize, I'm just teasing you." Zi Chunlin laughed and said, "Since it's a dream, then go after it bravely. Besides, you don't have to care about the millions of dollars in salary, I will help you earn it in the future." More money."

"No, not for me, but for us. Thank you for taking me on this wonderful journey."

Zhang Jinshui said sincerely, he leaned forward and hugged Zi Chunlin lightly with one hand.

Before Zi Chunlin could react, he had already stepped back, put the phone back to his ear, and said to Yao Ming on the other end of the phone: "Yao Ming, I'm sorry to keep you waiting."

"It's okay. In fact, you don't have to give me an answer now. This is a very important decision. You can think about it again."

"No, I've already made up my mind. I will fight side by side with you and help the Rockets win the championship."

"Great!" Yao Ming on the other end of the phone laughed heartily: "Next season, let us work together to make some big noises in the beautiful country's territory."

"Haha, good!" Zhang Jinshui also laughed, and said, "Since the matter has been settled, I won't bother you anymore, so you can continue to sleep."

"I'm so excited tonight that I probably won't be able to sleep. I'm going to get up now and go out to catch some early fish, hahahaha. I'll hang up first. You can continue chatting with Dawson and the others. When I return to the United States, I invite you Come to my house to play."

"Okay, I'll wait for you back in Houston, bye."

When Zhang Jinshui hung up the phone, Dawson looked at him anxiously and asked nervously, "Zhang Jinshui, how are you talking with Yao Ming?"

Just now, whether Zhang Jinshui talked with Yao Ming on the phone or talked with Zi Chunlin, all of them were in Chinese.

Dawson knew that the content of their communication must be about joining the Rockets, but he couldn't understand Chinese and couldn't receive any information, which made him feel like ten thousand ants were scratching his heart and lungs.

Zhang Jinshui looked at the impatient Dawson, smiled and said, "I told Yao Ming that I would like to join the Rockets."

"Great!" Dawson yelled excitedly, jumped up from his chair, threw himself on Van Gundy and slapped him, yelling indiscriminately:

"Van Gundy, did you hear that? Zhang Jinshui agreed to join us. Without me, how could you have gotten such an excellent rookie, please apologize to me, and from now on, you are not allowed to question my work."

Van Gundy was also trembling with excitement, but compared to Dawson, he showed a lot of restraint.

He pushed Dawson aside and said to Zhang Jinshui: "Zhang Jinshui, thank you for joining our Rockets.

Everyone understands that joining the Rockets will definitely cause you to suffer a lot of financial losses.

Suffering from league regulations, Dawson has no way to let the Rockets compensate you through other channels.

As the coach of the Rockets, the compensation I can think of is to promise you: After the start of the regular season, I will give you a stable playing time, help you develop special offensive tactics, and do everything else I can, help you grow. "

"Thank you, Coach Van Gundy. Compared with what you promised, that little salary loss is nothing at all. I think I made a lot of money." Zhang Jinshui said happily.

After Dawson's emotions calmed down, the four sat back in their seats and began to discuss the details of the next operation.

Zhang Jinshui is not a free agent. As a potential rookie who has registered for the draft, the only way he wants to join the Rockets is to be selected by the Rockets through the draft.

Next, they must find a way to ensure that Zhang Jinshui will not be "cut off" by other teams before the 24th pick.

Fortunately, Zhang Jinshui's performance in the joint trial training was a mess before, and he certainly did not attract the attention of the team holding the 24th draft pick.

But his current real strength is too "glamorous". In order to hide his strength and avoid being noticed by those teams, he had to cancel the four previously arranged trial training games.

Originally, Zhang Jinshui felt that it was enough to notify the four teams to cancel the trial training, and there was no need to deceive them with fake injuries.

However, Dawson strongly suggested that Zhang Jinshui cancel the trial training on the grounds of fraudulent injury.

He has been in the NBA for decades, and he knows how perverted people in this circle are.

After Zhang Jinshi participated in the Rockets' trial training, he turned down all other trial training. This behavior alone has explained a lot of problems, and it is enough for some team managers to make risky moves.

In the end, Zi Chunlin accepted Dawson's suggestion in order to avoid complications, and promised to communicate with the four teams one by one the next day.

Of course, it is not enough to simply cancel the four trials. Many people watched Zhang Jinshui's trials today.

If they reveal Zhang Jinshui's performance today, it will also attract the attention of other teams.

Therefore, Dawson decided to act immediately, and talked with everyone including the on-site staff, Zhao Miner, Chen Fei, and Viper players, and prohibited them from revealing the content of today's trial training.

After a lot of tossing, it was already [-] o'clock in the evening when Zhang Jinshui and his group left the Rockets training base.

After the four of them got into Zi Chunlin's car together, Zhao Min'er looked at Zhang Jinshui suspiciously, and asked, "Zhang Jinshui, what did you talk about in the last meeting? Why did Dawson ask me to talk to Teacher Chen? Ask us to keep your performance in the trial training a secret?"
