With three points at the start, Nash begged for a maximum salary to renew his contract

Chapter 90 Signed Broker and Dayao
(Chinese New Year is coming soon, the family is too busy today, only 1 is more sorry.)
Time has entered January, and the Suns' schedule in early January is still not particularly difficult.

The first game of the new year was an away game against the Chicago Bulls.

At this time, the Bulls are in an embarrassing situation without Jordan Pippen and Rose. Although they are a playoff-level team led by outstanding players such as Ben Gordon and Ruhr Deng, their overall strength But there are obvious deficiencies.

At 103:96, the Suns took the Bulls away, and their opponents in the next few games were the Raptors, Heat, Warriors, and Supersonics.

In these four games, the Suns had a lot of upsets and only achieved a record of 2 wins and 2 losses, losing to the Raptors and Supersonics respectively.

That’s all for the Raptors, they are the third strong team in the Eastern Conference. Chris Bosh, the core of the team, is in good shape. He scored 26 points and 14 rebounds in the game, suppressing Stoudemire’s 15 points and 8 points. rebound.

The Suns lost to the Sonics, it really shouldn't be.

So far in the regular season, the Supersonics' record in the West is less than [-]%, ranking outside the top ten, which is far from the strength of the No. [-] Sun in the West.

The reason why this game was upset and lost was because the three famous supersonic musketeers showed their power.

被誉为历史最强三分手（目前）的雷阿伦全场比赛18投12中，三分球11中5，得到32分5篮板。

Mr. Billion (not yet) Rashard Lewis scored 16 points on 9-for-21 shooting and Luke Ridnour scored 22 points.

It is worth mentioning that in this game, Wang Chao and Ray Allen staged a three-point confrontation.

Ray Allen's 11 of 5 three-pointers were already very accurate, but Wang Chao was obviously better, making 14 of 7 three-pointers.

The two are completely different in style of play and have different options for shooting three-pointers, but there is no doubt that if the previous game between Wang Chao and Hamilton represented the pinnacle of the league's off-ball offense, then this game is one. The league's highest level of three-pointers.

Ray Allen's three-pointer is really strong. After all, even in the future, Curry is the only one who can stabilize Ray Allen in the three-pointer field. Even Reggie Miller is a little bit weaker. Sunley Allen was ahead.

But even so, Ray Allen's three-pointers still haven't reached the full value of 99. At least in the most well-known NBA2K game, Ray Allen's three-pointer ability should be 98 on average, although it is infinitely close to 99. But after all, it was still a little bit worse.

Of course, it does not mean that Ray Allen is 1 point lower than Wang Chao in terms of three-point shooting ability. The hit rate bonus, and his height of 2 meters and wingspan of 06 meters did provide him with a better shot environment than Ray Allen when shooting offensively.

Moreover, although Ray Allen lost slightly in the three-pointer in this game, he led the team to win the game, and he was the winning side in calculations.

……

In these four games, Wang Chao also retested the effect of the upgraded long-distance runner talent.

Among the three running distance stages, the best effect is the newly added 10% reverse running flexibility in the first stage.

This trick is very effective in running without the ball, and can often shake off the defenders and shoot.

On the contrary, the shooting percentage of 3% in the second stage is not very obvious. This is an ability that needs to be gradually manifested in a long-term game, and the effect after activation is not immediate.

As for the negative impact of 30% shooting under fatigue in the third stage, it is currently the most tasteless for Wang Chao.

As a player ranked fourth or fifth in the Suns, even if Wang Chao voluntarily asked to come to the bench, he averaged less than 13 shots per game, and most of them were concentrated in the first half of the bench. There is no way to reflect the power of this effect.

Wang Chao is not discouraged, as if he can't use it now, it doesn't mean he won't need it in the future. In the future, he will eventually become the team's core scorer, and his number of shots will naturally increase.

……

On January 1, the Suns ushered in a challenge from the Cleveland Cavaliers at home.

Seeing that the opponent was the Cavaliers, Wang Chao immediately got excited.

He still hasn't forgotten that the moment he crossed, he was knocked to the ground by a dunk from James.

Although it was another Wang Chao at the moment of being dunked, but behind it was the current Wang Chao who was ridiculed.

Although he is not a narrow-minded person, he must avenge any grudge.

In that game, he relied on the full-level three-pointer suddenly given by the system to help the team reverse and beat the Cavaliers to win the game, but that was obviously not enough.

And if nothing else, this season, the Cavaliers will go all the way through the playoffs and reach the finals.

This is definitely an opportunity!
Wang Chao is full of confidence in the current strength of the Suns. The only opponent in the West is the Spurs.

As long as the Suns can cross the mountain of the Spurs in the West, he may be the one who touches James' head in the finals to comfort the opponent with the classic sentence "the future is yours".

Thinking of this, Wang Chao felt a little excited.

……

Well, the above is purely YY.

Even if the Suns really beat the Cavaliers to win the championship in the finals, it is not Wang Chao's turn to say this. Although he is older than James, James, who joined the league in 03, is the senior of Wang Chao, a rookie in 04.

But this sentence can give Nash some advice, disgusting the other party.

Closer to home, back to the game.

The Suns playing the Cavaliers are no different from adults and children.

In the 06-07 season, the Cavaliers were really not strong. Only Larry Hughes and Big Z were on the team. In the playoffs, Larry Hughes still stretched his hips. Compared with the regular season, the average scoring and field goal percentage have declined significantly.

But just like that, James was able to single-core drag the Cavaliers all the way through the Eastern Conference to reach the Finals, even if the core soul of the Eastern Conference opponent Pistons at the time, Ben Wallace, was unable to play due to injury, the Pistons would lose to the Cavaliers The main reason for the team, but it must also be admitted that James is indeed strong.

In this game, James also performed very well. In the whole game, he made 28 of 15 shots, 9 of 3 three-pointers, 6 of 4 free throws, scored 37 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, becoming the brightest boy in the game. .

However, apart from James, the Cavaliers only scored in double figures, Drew Gooden, and only had 11 points. How could it be possible to beat the Suns?
王超18分，斯塔德迈尔17分13篮板，马里昂19分11篮板。

The most exaggerated is Nash, who made 7 of 2 shots in the whole game and only scored 4 points. In the game, he sent a full 21 assists and made only 1 turnover.

At 109:90, the Suns beat the Cavaliers by 19 points.

……

Phoenix, in a certain cafe.

Wang Chao sat face to face with a man in a suit and leather shoes, with a slight smile on his face.

"First meeting, hello."

"Hello, Wang."

The man sitting in front of Wang Chao is Bill Duffy, a well-known agent in the league.

To be honest, Wang Chao didn't expect that the opponent's efficiency would be so high.

Recently, when Wang Chao was chatting with Nash, he "inadvertently" mentioned that he didn't have an agent yet, and at the same time asked whether Nash and his hometown Yao were the same agent.

The topic naturally changed to Nash providing Wang Chao with Bill Duffy's contact information and praising Bill Duffy's professional ability.

Wang Chao knew that Nash and Bill Duffy were not only players and agents, but also very good friends.

Nash is very aware of Wang Chao's potential and prospects in the future, and of course wants to introduce this big business to Bill Duffy.

Wang Chao naturally accepted it readily. This was originally his purpose, but under the art of language, it was packaged as a feeling that he gave Nash face and trusted Nash's ability as an agent. Not only did he successfully connect with Bill Duffy, but he also Brushed a wave of favorability on Nash's side.

It sounds like a bit of a scheming feeling to say this, but this is often the case between people.

Regardless of the process, it is a good way to achieve the goal.

Bill Duffy was obviously very interested in Wang Chao, so the two made an appointment for a free time to chat together.

"I have a very good relationship with Yao, and I know the Huaguo players very well. I don't think I need to go into too much detail on this point, right?"

Bill Duffy seemed very confident at this point.

Because just in the past summer of 06, he just assisted Dayao to complete the contract extension with the Rockets, with a five-year maximum salary of 5 million US dollars, making Dayao one of the highest paid players in the league.

"Of course, I know very well." Wang Chao said with a smile.

In fact, it is certain that Dayao will get the maximum salary. Such a player with unlimited potential and is expected to become the most lethal center in the league after O'Neal. Duffy didn't contribute much, but Wang Chao liked the agent's professionalism and character very much.

"Mr. Bill, I would like to ask you a question. If you become my agent, what kind of contract do you tend to ask the team for this summer?"

After Wang Chao thought about it, he asked the other party such a question.

"Of course it's the maximum salary!" Bill Duffy said decisively without thinking. "Your value, the Suns management should understand that a 24-year-old player can already contribute 20+ points steadily on the field, and his three-point shooting rate can reach an exaggerated level of close to 50%. Your style of play is very suitable. The Suns run and shoot, they have to do whatever it takes to keep you."

Bill Duffy's thoughts coincided with Wang Chao's.

Wang Chao is very sure that in the future, he will definitely become the strongest player in the league, and he may not even be one of them. Maybe this process will take some time, but it will definitely not be too long.

Combined with his performance this season, a contract extension with a maximum salary must be required, otherwise, the stronger he becomes, the more he will suffer.

Now that Bill Duffy agrees with his value, there is no need to hesitate and struggle.

Wang Chao looked at Bill Duffy and said, "I don't have any problems anymore. You will be my agent. I believe you can maximize my commercial value. I believe in you."

Bill Duffy smiled.

"Wang, thank you for your compliment, but before we formally sign the contract, there is one more thing I need to confirm with you."

"To be honest, before I came here, I asked Dayao about you in private, and I also learned something about your past."

Bill Duffy's words raised Wang Chao's eyebrows.

"my past?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't mention the past, but if you don't handle it properly, it won't be good for your future development."

Wang Chao: "..."

What's the point of not mentioning it?You should mention it, I also want to know what happened in the past.

While complaining like this in his heart, Wang Chao still pretended to know on the surface.

"What should I do with it?"

"I have two options here for you to choose from."

Bill Duffy raised two fingers.

"First, give up the nationality of China and join the nationality of the United States, so that you are a native of the United States, and you can represent the United States in world competitions, and get more local support and commercial endorsements."

"I refuse." Wang Chao shook his head and refused without thinking.

Since the 90s, there has been a wave of going abroad in Huaguo, but those who have the capital and conditions to go abroad flock to foreign countries where even the air is sweeter.

Canada, UK, Australia...

Among them, the green card of the United States is the most flocked to by everyone. After all, it is the strongest and most prosperous country in the world. At that time, those who can get the green card of the United States are as high as becoming a dragon.

But Wang Chao was not interested in it.

Especially after experiencing the process of Hua Guo becoming more prosperous and stronger, Wang Chao from 2022 has a strong sense of pride in Hua Guo.

Wang Chao felt that since God made him even time-travel to a Hua country player, it was already predestined, and he didn't want to change everything.

"Really...it's really the same as what Dayao said." Bill Duffy couldn't help shaking his head, which made Wang Chao even more curious about what this guy had talked with Dayao.

"Then there is only the second option. Take the initiative to compromise and reconcile, ease the relationship with the domestic basketball association, rejoin the national team, and open up the Huaguo market." Bill Duffy said: "This choice is a suggestion from Dayao. He I also want to convey this suggestion to you through me."

"As long as you continue your current performance in the league, Dayao can use this to put pressure on the Basketball Association to let you represent the Huaguo men's basketball team in next year's Olympic Games, so as to break the ice and return to good relations with China. According to Dayao, Returning to the domestic field of vision as smoothly as roughly, there are only advantages and no disadvantages for you."

When Wang Chao heard this, his eyes lit up.

He didn't know what happened to Wang Chao before, but it was definitely not a wise move to flip the table, and it would be best to redeem it if possible.

What age is this, if you really want to encounter unfair things, what's the point of stiffening your neck and resisting?
When he encounters something and is bored and doesn't say anything, the only one who suffers is himself.

Dayao did a good job at this point. At the beginning, the media revealed that the Basketball Association wanted to take away 50% of Dayao’s NBA income, which caused an uproar in China. Finally, under the pressure of public opinion, this figure dropped to about 3%-5%.

The question is, how did the media happen to expose this matter?That's a bit intriguing.

As Wang Chao, who traveled from 2022, he knows the power of public opinion better than anyone else.

If he really suffers from unfair treatment in China, there are many ways to solve it. The easiest way is to find the media to expose it and let the public judge right from wrong, instead of refusing to communicate and cutting off all his escape routes.

Now, there is room for the situation to be eased, so he naturally wished for it, especially the opportunity to participate in the 08 Beijing Olympic Games with the national team. This kind of rare opportunity is only once.

In the 08 Beijing Olympic Games, it can be called the strongest lineup in the history of the Huaguo men's basketball team. Dayao, Ah Lian, and Big Zhi are the three major insiders, and there are Zhu Fangyu, Wang Shipeng and others on the outside.

With the blessing of home court advantage, the Huaguo men's basketball team even defeated the German team led by Nowitzki in the group stage and reached the quarterfinals.

Wang Chao can fully imagine how strong the Huaguo men's basketball team will become with his presence.

You know, that will only happen in a year and a half. In this year and a half, Wang Chao's strength will definitely have a qualitative leap and become stronger.

At that time, he and Dayao will lead the Huaguo men's basketball team inside and outside, even if they compete for medals, it is not impossible!

Wang Chao couldn't miss such an opportunity anyway.

So at this moment, he almost looked at Bill Duffy with bright eyes.

"Okay! I'll choose the second one!"

"Very good." Bill Duffy smiled with satisfaction upon hearing this.

Personally, he also prefers Wang Chao to choose the second option.

Because even if Wang Chao becomes a U.S. citizen, he will not be as popular as a U.S. local star. After all, he has already been engraved with the label of a Chinese player. It is the best choice to open up the domestic market like Dayao.

As Dayao's agent in the United States, Bill Duffy can see how high the opponent's domestic commercial value is. He feels that outside players like Wang Chao's style of play must have more fans than inside players like Dayao. More.

"Then, let's formally sign the contract. You can read the content of the contract first."

As Bill Duffy spoke, he took out two contracts that had already been prepared from his briefcase.

……

houston.

Dayao, who had just finished training and was changing in the locker room, heard the phone ring.

"Hello, Bill? How is your talk with Chao Wang?"

Listening to Bill Duffy's words on the other side of the phone, Dayao said: "Understood, I will immediately contact the domestic relationship operation, and strive to let Wang Chao return to the national team as soon as possible. Don't worry, based on Wang Chao's recent performance in the league performance, this matter is no problem, after all, those big shots also want the men's basketball team to achieve breakthrough results in the Olympics as their actual performance."

After hanging up the phone, Dayao had a smile on his face.

Sure enough, Wang Chao did not disappoint him!

This incident was actually an accident. Dayao did not expect that Wang Chao would actually find Bill Duffy as an agent. If Bill Duffy hadn't called him to inquire about Wang Chao, he would not have known that the two parties would actually go through Nash's relationship. Got in touch.

Originally, Dayao had always had a headache on how to tell Wang Chao what he thought, but now it happened to be smooth sailing.

"It seems that Wang Chao's personality has also changed after his outstanding performance in the league. This is a good sign!"

How did Dayao know that not only his personality had changed, but Wang Chao had completely changed himself.
