Gan Guoyang quickly called Falk. Now Falk is different from the past and no longer has everything arranged like before. Finally, I will notify Gan Guoyang.

Now, no matter what happens, such as commercial activities, charity activities, contract signing, etc., Falk will call Gan Guoyang first. Only after the two discussed it will Falk take action.

After all, the "foresight" shown by Gan Guoyang in the Coca-Cola incident taught Falke a good lesson, and Gan Guoyang also obtained a large contract for Coca-Cola. He spent one or two days every year to shoot a short film, and a few photos were taken to earn millions of dollars. His agent naturally benefited from it.

In the process of fighting with this old fox, Gan Guoyang has begun to slowly take control of the initiative and is no longer just a marionette like in the past.

"Hello, Mr. Falke, I went out to eat something with my friend after the game and came back late. Mr. Bellman went home first. Are you doing anything?" Gan Guoyang asked on the phone.

"I will come to Portland the day after tomorrow and want to discuss the contract issue with you. Your contract with the Trail Blazers will expire in 1986. We have to negotiate with each other in advance and strive to sign a big contract." Falke explained his meaning.

"Is it necessary to be so early? I mean the contract issue with the Trail Blazers. The season has just begun. There is no need to negotiate a contract in such a hurry, right?" Gan Guoyang wanted to focus all his energy on the game, but he was unwilling to entrust his affairs to Falke. He didn't like being controlled by others.

"It is necessary, of course, it is necessary. I have been negotiating the contract between Michael and the Bulls. New star players like you need to win a good value for themselves. You also know that Stern has begun reforming the contract system. The earlier you sign, the better you can sign a suitable big contract." Falke said.

With the launch of the salary cap in 1984, the conditions for signing NBA contracts became increasingly stringent and the standards became more and more detailed, so that traditional agents could play less and less room for use - of course, the room for "rogue" managers like Auerbach could manipulate them is becoming increasingly narrower.

Because the situation is constantly changing, some agents hope that their players will negotiate with the team earlier, and even if there is no way to renew the contract in advance, they can get some promises first in case there is a change.

Falke started to run for Jordan and Gan Guoyang's contract in advance with this idea. Inman also hoped to settle the matter between Gan Guoyang earlier and give the boss and management a reassurance. After the exchange, the two also wanted to have some basic contacts recently.

Of course, Gan Guoyang's view is different from Falk. He knows that as the NBA promotion level deepens, the league's income will become higher and higher, and the corresponding player salary will also rise. At that time, his current salary will be simply the level of the team's basic salary players.

But Gan Guoyang did not refute Falke on the phone. He accepted Falke's suggestion and decided to have a good talk with the team in a few days.

Because Gan Guoyang smelled a trace of breath from Falk's words, combined with what Van dervich said to him, Gan Guoyang could already guess that the reason why the people's hearts in the current Trail Blazers are actually due to Gan Guoyang himself.

Gan Guoyang recently learned about the signing rules of the NBA. He knew that there was no rookie contract at that time. He signed a two-year contract of one million with the Trail Blazers, which was smaller than Jordan's two-year contract, but it was already bigger than Drexler's contract.

Gan Guoyang's next contract will definitely exceed this two-year contract, and in order to keep Gan Guoyang, the pioneers will inevitably use a lot of salary space.

If the Trail Blazers want to sign Van der Witz and Sampson at the same time, they must use the Bird clause, and the team's salary will be very high.

Although there was no luxury tax at that time, only champions like the Lakers and Celtics in the league could win players with a lot of money without caring about it, and the salary cap could not stop him.

In this way, Van derwich and Sampson's life at the Trail Blazers will definitely not last long. In order to get the next good contract, it is understandable that Van derwich works hard on the field.

Thinking of this, Gan Guoyang couldn't help feeling upset. In his mind, players should keep moving forward with the goal of winning, and all obstacles that hinder winning should be removed on the way.

However, in business alliances, everything must be based on interests.

The next day, Gan Guoyang got up early one morning, a little longer than usual training because he was going to find Corte.

The Cort family lives in an apartment not far from the Jewish community in Leonardo. He once lived with rookies such as Cauchy, but some rookies have left last season.

Gan Guoyang entered Corte's house. When he knocked on the door, Corte was still sleepy. Soon he was forced to put on his clothes and wash up by Gan Guoyang, and then went out together - at this time, Cauchy was still dreaming.

"From the future, I will go out and relax every day, but I can't take drugs! If you take drugs again, I will suppress you. Do you understand, do I mean? Suppress you and prevent you from hanging in the team, let you go, I think I can do it."

Cort and Gan Guoyang ran side by side on the banks of the Willamette River. On one side is the gurgling water of the Willamette River and on the other side is the huge railway system of Portland. Portland has always been a transportation hub in the northern United States.

Since Americans basically no longer take trains, all the railways here are used as freight transport, and freight trucks whizz past the two of them. It was just dawn.

Gan Guoyang looked at Corte not very convinced, so he continued: "Don't disbelief, I'm going to negotiate a contract with the team soon. Then I will include you as one of the signing conditions. Look at how that old fox Inman will treat you."

When Gan Guoyang said this, Corte also believed it. He also understood that Gan Guoyang's position in this team, and he was the core of the future team.

"Leaving those things that make you worse will only make you happy for a while, but it will make you regret it for a lifetime. I can't guarantee that you will always be the pioneers in the future, but no matter which team you are in, you can rely on your own abilities to support yourself, support your family, and live a better life. Don't let your previous efforts be burned." Gan Guoyang said seriously to Corte when he ran away.

This time, Colt finally dared to contact Gan Guoyang's direct gaze, nodded and said, "I understand, thank you, Gan."

"Okay, let's speed up! You have to know that you are already behind. Terry Porter is about to overtake you and become the team's number one substitute! If you are not faster, you have to go to the water dispenser to serve everyone tea and water." As he said that, Gan Guoyang accelerated his speed, and Cort followed, and the two ran together on the road ahead.

…………

At night, the Trail Blazers ushered in a back-to-back match, their opponent was the New York Knicks from the East.

Gan Guoyang has been a little confused by various things recently, and has no habit of looking at the schedule, so he didn't know until he entered the locker room that his opponent was the Knicks tonight.

However, the Knicks are no longer behind Gan Guoyang's old friend Bernard Jin, who has been reimbursed for a leg injury season.

But this game did not lose the highlights due to Bernard King's reimbursement, because this year's Knicks welcomed their fourth No. 1 pick in history - Patrick Ewing.

The first three times the Knicks won the No. 1 pick were in 1963, 1964 and 1966. They drew the No. 1 pick three times in four years, and their luck was very good.

Of course, on the one hand, it was because there were few NBA teams at that time, and on the other hand, it also showed that the Knicks' performance was bad enough, and their performance did not improve at all after winning the No. 1 pick.

In the end, none of the three No. 1 picks were able to lead the Knicks out of the abyss. Instead, they were a second round pick in 1961, Willis Reed, who created glory with the Knicks (the second round at that time was actually in the top fifteen drafts).

But this time the Knicks believe that the No. 1 pick they chose would never be wrong. A real center, a superstar in college basketball, and a No. 1 pick that everyone hoped for. The Knicks boss was excited when he heard Stern's return to the Indiana Pacers at the draft draw, and then let out a long sigh of relief, which has become a classic in NBA draft history.

At this time, although Ewing missed the NCAA trophy he should have in his life because of Gan Guoyang, this did not prevent him from being a low post in the eyes of scouts, nor could it affect the expectations of New Yorkers for him at all.

Soon, Ewing proved himself in the first few games. He scored 18 points, 6 rebounds and 3 blocks against Philadelphia in his first game. Although he lost the game, he did not lose the game in the confrontation with Moses Malone.

The second time he got his first double-double after entering the NBA, with 19 points and 10 rebounds; in the third game, Ewing ushered in a small outbreak, with 27 points and 16 rebounds and 2 blocks, but he failed to limit Carol and the team lost.

In the fourth game, he played against the Clippers, with another 27 points and 11 rebounds, but he still lost the game. The Knicks lost in all four games.

But Ewing's performance is enough to be expected, and this guy is indeed a superstar.
