NBA: The opening game gets a death entanglement

The Knicks scheduled training at ten a.m.

Lin Dong arrived at the arena at nine o’clock.

Because he and Mills agreed on this time point to sign the contract.

He also brought a man with him, and this man was called Mark.

It was Nate’s broker.

As an NBA player, it is still necessary to have an agent.

He can help you fight for greater benefits and can also help you reduce unnecessary losses.

Lin Dong couldn’t even play in the NBA before, so naturally he didn’t need it.

But now it’s different.

Nate was very thoughtful, and very early in the morning, he let Mark drive to Lin Dong’s door.

“Dude, don’t be nervous!”

“I’ll do my best to help you get a good contract!”

Lin Dong nodded with a smile.

In fact, he was not nervous, but he just felt that all this was still a little strange.

Who would have thought that the day before he was still staying up late and working overtime.

The next day it hit the NBA.

The day after that, he will sign with the Knicks and become an official NBA player.

It’s dreamy.

The two walked into Mills’ office one after another.

Seeing Mark, he was not surprised either.

After all, signing a contract with an agent is the most normal thing.

And he has long prepared the contract.

The contract period is until the end of the season (NBA rules).

There are 35 games left in the regular season.

The Knicks were also very sincere and directly gave a price of 1.5 million.

1.5 million is not a lot for the NBA, but it is less than half of the games.

And according to the NBA’s rules for rookie contracts, this is already the highest contract that can be given under the collective agreement.

Mark thought he still needed to fight with the team.

Unexpectedly, the Knicks directly gave the highest salary.

He was also very surprised by this.

These NBA teams have always been able to squeeze players, and this time they actually gave top salaries directly.

Mark glanced at Lin Dong.

“This rookie seems to have a lot of potential!”

It’s only been one game, and it has been so highly affirmed.

The future is limitless!

Lin Dong didn’t know much about the contract, so when signing the contract, he asked Mark for advice.

Mark also directly told Lin Dong about this meaning.

He thought that Lin Dong would be very excited, but he didn’t expect such an expression to appear.

Just nodded in satisfaction.

I can’t see the excitement.

At this moment, he was even more curious about Lin Dong.

He has worked as an agent for a handful of NBA players, including many stars.

Almost everyone gets their first contract, or a big contract, with excitement.

Like Lin Dong, it is still the first.

Through his experience, this can only explain one reason, that is, Lin Dong takes this for granted.

It was expected of him.

But this matter, he did not ask directly.

After the signing was completed, Lin Dong came to the training arena.

The morning training is free training, and each person conducts special training for their own weak points.

This time Lin Dong came to the stadium, and D’Antoni greeted Lin Dong for the first time.

This is a first.

The others also beckoned to Lin Dong.

After all, from now on, you will be teammates.

The rapport of teammates is not only cultivated by playing on the field, but also private communication.

D’Antoni called Lin Dong over.

Then clapped all the team members together.

The team members all gathered around.

“I believe I don’t need to introduce more, this is Lin Dong, and he will be our teammate in the future!”

Players are signed, and most of the other players are unaware.

Unless you have a good relationship, you will communicate in advance in private.

For the Knicks’ renewal of Lin Dong, most people still guessed.

After all, in yesterday’s game, Lin Dong performed very well.

So, after D’Antoni finished speaking, everyone applauded enthusiastically.

Nate, in particular, was excited.

But there are also some players who are dismissive, Harrington and Jeffries are two of them.

They are not very friendly to newcomers.

And it is still a Xia Guo, and they can’t look at it even more.

The two muttered in a low voice.

“The team doesn’t know what to think again? Actually signed a Xia Guoren? ”

“yes! Isn’t it just a game that played well. That is, it just feels better. ”

“I guess at the end of the season, he will be cut by the team, wait!”

D’Antoni introduced and continued directly.

‘We’ve been playing more than half of the season and we didn’t do well before.

“But the season goes on and we have a chance to keep making the playoffs.”

“We had a big comeback yesterday, so I hope we can do the same for the next half of the season!”

“You are all excellent, but it is not enough! We need to work harder and be more aggressive! ”

As soon as the words fell, the players burst into applause again.

However, this does not mean that they are full of confidence in the next game, but to give D’Antoni a little face.

Most of the season has passed, and the team’s record is not satisfactory.

Is it because you sign a player from the Development League that you can play well in the next game?

No one believes this.

The players didn’t believe it, even D’Antoni himself.

The team’s record so far is 18 wins, 29 losses.

In the East, if you want to make the playoffs.

According to previous statistics, the minimum is 41 wins.

So, the Knicks want to make the playoffs, and the next games will be at least 23 wins and 12 losses.

And such a winning rate, in the entire east, only two teams have reached.

Therefore, with this current team, it is almost impossible to get a ticket to the playoffs.

However, Lin Dong believes that since he is here, he will not hope that he will not be able to play in the playoffs in his first season.

Next, D’Antoni went on to say something more.

Everyone dispersed.

However, he still left Lin Dong by his side, and then took Lin Dong to a field where there was no one.
