Chapter 451
Just after the Brazilian team's game, Yi Dun received a call from Xia Jiuli that night.
As Yi Dun's agent, Xia Jiuli received calls from at least ten NBA teams after the game. These calls only have one purpose, that is, sign Yi Dun.
Although they also knew very well that Yidun was still carrying CBA contracts, if possible, they were willing to help Yidun buy out these contracts.
The buyout contract is not only possible, but players can do it too, but this kind of thing happens relatively rarely. After all, no player can bear to spend so much money.
Although Yi Dun has not participated in the draft, he is actually a free agent and any team is qualified to sign Yi Dun.
"What's the matter? These people called so quickly?" Yi Dun asked curiously.
I just played three games here, but these teams couldn't sit still?
Xia Jiuli smiled bitterly and said, "If you were the team boss, would you watch other teams take players like you?"
"Just like the previous CBA team recruiting you, everyone knows that if you can't get your words, it means you lose hope of winning the championship. So no matter what, they want to contact you first to see if you have the possibility of playing in the NBA."
"NBA new season has not started yet. If you want to go, you can sign with them as a free agent directly. Don't worry about salary, they will definitely give you the maximum salary."
Yi Dun became more and more curious, "Maximum salary? What is the maximum salary? Like Kobe, he got $27 million a year?"
Now Yi Dun plays in CBA. If his salary is converted into US dollars, it is actually only about five million US dollars. The gap is extremely huge with Kobe's annual salary of 27 million US dollars.
Xia Jiuli coughed gently, "Cough cough, not that much, the maximum salary is definitely different."
"You don't meet the Larry Bird clause, that is, you don't have bird rights, and you have zero age in NBA, so your maximum salary will be much smaller than those people, about 60 million US dollars in four years."
Yi Dun was speechless. This was much worse than Kobe's contract. His annual salary was about half of Kobe's?
"There is no way, their salary rules are stipulated in this way. Unlike our CBA, everything is easy to say."
"And, I think you have to think carefully about this matter, because if you don't sign a contract now, when the draft will be held next year and a team will choose you with a draft pick, you can only sign a standard rookie contract. If you are the No. 1 pick, the contract will be about 20 million US dollars in four years, which is a lot of difference."
Xia Jiuli obviously put in the effort and studied all the NBA salary regulations, and directly explained the pros and cons to Yi Dun in detail.
Yi Dun was even more speechless. Good guy, now the NBA is going to be on the shelves. If he doesn't sign contracts with these teams this year, there will definitely be teams choosing themselves with draft picks next year's draft, and then he will have to get a rookie contract.
The rookie contract and the free agent contract are definitely not the same thing, and the difference between them is too much money.
Yi Dun is not short of money, but he definitely doesn't want to lose the 40 million US dollars in vain.
But now I still have a contract on it, so I can't just run away like that. This is not Yi Dun's personality.
"Let's talk about this, let's talk about it after the Olympics." Yi Dun said to Xia Jiuli.
"Okay, I'm not in a hurry anyway, I still have a few months to consider."
After saying that, the two hung up the phone.
Yi Dun fell into deep thought. According to what Xia Jiuli said just now, he would really have to make a choice in the next few months.
Going to the NBA to play basketball is not Yi Dun's only option. It can be said that there is no big difference between whether he goes or not.
"Forget it, I'll think about this after the Olympics. Go or not, and I'll talk about it later." Yi Dun thought silently in his heart.
...
Now the group stages of both groups have ended successfully.
The top three in Group A are the United States, Argentina and France.
As for Group B, the four teams qualifying are Spain, China, Russia and Brazil.
The strong Brazilian team only won the fourth place in one group this time, which is really shocking and makes many Brazilian fans feel incredible.
Mainly if you advance in the fourth place in the group, you will directly encounter the American Dream team in the quarterfinals, which is undoubtedly extremely bad news for Brazil.
Unless they can eliminate Team USA in the quarterfinals, they will have a chance to make their rankings into the top four.
But obviously, the possibility of Brazil's team wanting to defeat Dream Team is very slim, so Brazil can now be said to have completely lost hope of winning cards.
The performance of the Chinese men's basketball team this time undoubtedly gave Chinese fans an extremely huge surprise. They qualify for the second place in the group. Even if they lose the quarter-finals, they will definitely be ranked more than eighth!
...
With less than an hour left before the game against the French team, Yi Dun was extremely excited. If he won this game, it would be enough to be recorded in the history of Chinese basketball!
"Yidun, are you excited?" Dazhi patted Yidun's shoulder and smiled.
"Excited!"
"I believe we can definitely kill France and make it to the top four!" Yi Dun suddenly laughed when he thought of a joke.
No one can occupy Paris before France surrenders...
It means that France surrendered too quickly and surrendered before it could occupy Paris.
Yi Dun wondered whether the French men's basketball team would surrender quickly tonight so that he could save some trouble.
...
A group of people went to the locker room, and Deng Huade's face was not very good because he was basically in a state of being overturned.
Not to mention that the players didn't miss him much, even the translator was slanderous and translated his words vaguely.
Even if Deng Huade is a fool, he knows that he is infinitely close to the end of get out of class. The Chinese men's basketball team can play a few more games next, so he can play in the position of the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team.
He was completely helpless. The only thing he could do now is to look forward to better performance in the Chinese men's basketball team.
It’s not that he has any feelings for the Chinese men’s basketball team, but mainly because the Chinese men’s basketball team has good results, and his resume will be good at that time, making it more convenient to find a job.
If the Chinese men's basketball team really wins a medal, then he, as the head coach, can be worth a little higher.
"Sage, are you sure you want to appear with an injury?" Dazhi asked Sun Yue.
Sun Yue failed to play in several games due to injury, and now he is also preparing to follow Yi Jianlian and play with injuries.
It is really that the significance of this game is too great and enough to be recorded in the history of Chinese basketball. Sun Yue naturally doesn't want to miss such a grand event.
Sun Yue nodded, "Brother Dazhi, I feel that the injury problem is not very big now, and it should not be dragging everyone down."
"Besides, even if I'm just paralyzed in this game, it's an honor to be able to sit on the sidelines."
Everyone laughed. Everyone actually had similar ideas. Everyone wanted to be a part of history, even if they were not the protagonists of history.
Dazhi nodded, "Okay, let's look at the situation at that time. The French team's outside line is relatively strong, and your defense can help us."
"But don't force yourself. If you can't stand it, hurry up and don't harm others or yourself."
