I am so Accurate

Chapter 191 Destiny-determining table tennis

Sun Hao was waiting at the airport alone.

The plane landed at the airport, but Yao Ming did not come alone.

In addition to the interpreter, there are also Li Yuanwei and accompanying officials.

About how to persuade the Shanghai team to let him go, Yao Ming didn't say much on the phone, and he didn't seem to want to say more.

Sun Hao asked Li Yuanwei first, only then did he know that he had put in a lot of hard work.

So Li Yuanwei came with Yao Ming this time, and Sun Hao felt pretty good.

Please have a meal. At the dinner table, Li Yuanwei and Sun Hao explained their intentions.

He hopes that Sun Hao can participate in the Men's Basketball Asian Championships in Shanghai at the end of July.

Sun Hao did not express his position at the dinner table, but only said that he had to think about it.

After dinner, Li Yuanwei went back to the hotel first, while Sun Hao and Yao Ming went back to the villa.

Before coming here, Sun Hao had already greeted Yao Ming, and just like Wang Zhizhi back then, before finding a house, he lived with him first.

The situation of Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi is different. The salary of playing CBA is relatively higher.

But in the CBA of this era, no matter how high the income is, it will not be much higher.

Sun Hao made a cup of tea for Yao Ming, and brought out wolfberry tea himself, and the two chatted while drinking.

As we chatted, we inevitably talked about how Yao Ming escaped from the Shanghai team.

Face to face, Yao Ming no longer held back Sun Hao, and told him about his "difficult journey" in China.

Sun Hao was very moved after listening to it, and admired Yao Ming very much, and even rejoiced that he was really lucky not to play in the CBA.

In fact, from Wang Zhizhi, we can somewhat see how difficult it is to go abroad to play in this era if it is within the system.

Sometimes, that's not even something money can fix.

For example, on Yao Ming's side, the three major conditions given by the Shanghai team at the beginning were unheard of.

First, the NBA has to exchange players with the same strength as Yao Ming's bridge with the Shanghai team.

This first article alone is considered unprecedented.

Those who knew it was the NBA draft, but those who didn't know it thought it was a talent exchange!

Second, the Shanghai team asked the NBA to invest a lot of money in helping the team build a new arena.

At this time, the fans who saw this already had this expression: _(`"∠)_

Third, the NBA has to find an NBA-level coach for the Shanghai team.

Alright, seeing this, I basically already know what the Shanghai team means, yes, I am blackmailing you.

Don't feel weird, this condition is much better than Wang Zhizhi's at the beginning.

In the year when Wang Zhizhi was first selected, whether it was the team or the Basketball Association, the answer was only three words: impossible.

Even if Yao Ming agrees to the conditions at the beginning, it is impossible for the NBA to agree.

At this time, our Master Li came flapping the wings of a butterfly.

The role that Li Yuanwei can play is not as great as imagined, but it does exist.

Take the matter of Yi Jianlian, the Guangdong team did not agree at first, but after Li Yuanwei asked Yi Jianlian to agree to a "return clause", the matter was resolved.

The so-called return clause means that once Yi Jianlian has no ball to play in the NBA or retires, he can only return to the Guangdong team if he wants to return to the CBA to play.

And this time, Li Yuanwei did the same for Yao Ming.

However, because the influence of the two in the CBA is completely incomparable, Yao Ming's return terms are much harsher.

Yao Ming's return clause: after he has nothing to play in the NBA or retires, he must come back to help the Shanghai team win the CBA championship.

This sounds a bit outrageous, but it is much more normal than the three offered by the Shanghai team.

Of course, this is certainly not the only condition.

There are two other conditions for Yao Ming to be able to escape successfully.

First, Yao Ming has to pay the Shanghai team a training fee of 8 million US dollars.

This is the salary negotiated by Li Yuanwei after mediation.

Second, when the national team needs it, Yao Ming must play unconditionally.

There are still three conditions. Although they are better, they can still be described as "excessive".

Take the training fee as an example, which is similar to the buyout fee. Sun Hao talked with Gasol on the phone before.

You must know that the rookie contracts in the NBA draft every year are fixed.

The No. 1 pick has the highest salary, but it is only 17.28 million in four years, and it is estimated that there will be eight or nine million dollars left after deducting taxes.

And this is a rookie with the No. 1 pick. If Yao Ming is just a lottery in the end, he will have to pay it back.

Not to mention the third one, which is also one of the main reasons for the premature end of Yao Ming's career in history.

But even with such conditions, Yao Ming never called Sun Hao.

This is the personal charm in the eyes of men, who can handle things.

"I can't do anything about the first and second points. I can talk to Li Yuanwei about the third point. It shouldn't be a big problem."

Sun Hao spoke after listening.

"Just ignore the first one."

Yao Ming took the call.

Sun Hao looked at Yao Ming suspiciously.

In history, Yao Ming went to the NBA after helping the Shanghai team win the championship in 2002. Now Yao Ming will win the championship after he comes back.

This is very difficult.

After all, in history, when Yao Ming retired, his feet were too useless to play.

No matter how low the intensity of CBA is, it would be as difficult as climbing the sky at that time.

It may even develop into a situation where Yao Ming is seriously injured and the Shanghai team forces him to retire from the NBA.

"He didn't say that I have to win the championship as a player, and I can buy the Shanghai team at that time."

"..."

The turn was too fast, and Sun Hao felt that he hadn't made it around.

However, he then made three consecutive 6 gestures to Yao Ming.

There is really a reason why Yao Ming can play well in the NBA.

As long as he is able to handle things with his own opinions, and is humorous and witty, he will be the kind of person who is at the forefront of the industry in other things.

After the two chatted, Yao Ming went to bed first.

Sun Hao held Sanhua in his arms and was still watching the replay of the TNT program.

According to the latest news, the possibility of Jordan's comeback is increasing, and some fans even said that they saw him go to the United Center much more frequently than before.

Barkley was also teased for his comeback in the show again, but Barkley's attitude is still the same as last time. He is determined, and he will come back as long as Jordan comes back.

Jordan and Barkley are back together, and this thing seems to be slowly becoming a reality.

Sun Hao watched for a while, his thoughts had already flown elsewhere.

Does he want to participate in the Asian Championships this time?

The more inclined answer in his heart is yes.

First of all, he has not experienced an Asian-level competition. From the perspective of the first time, there is nothing wrong with participating in it. Winning the Asian championship can also be regarded as supplementing his trophy library.

Secondly, during the chat earlier, he knew that Yao Ming would play. In fact, he really wanted to play with Yao Ming in his heart.

Third, he promised Yao Ming to help him settle the third point, and his promise to play in the Asian Championships was also a negotiating capital.

In the end, it actually happened quite smoothly. He would definitely go back to China to meet his parents. One of the important reasons why he didn't go back immediately was that he had no face to face his old father.

The two boxes of things in his room have almost become family heirlooms.

But going back is definitely going to go back.

In addition, around August, Adidas will also have a trip to China, and this series of things happens to be connected together.

Figured it out, when I saw Li Yuanwei the next day, Sun Hao also said it straight.

"I can participate in the Asian Championships, but I have a condition."

"you say."

Li Yuanwei seems to have been prepared for a long time.

When he was in China before, Sun Hao also negotiated terms with him.

An 18-year-old boy can play so fast in Europe and the NBA, you can't really just treat him as an 18-year-old boy.

"Dayao, his third clause will be cancelled."

"Um?"

Li Yuanwei frowned slightly, Sun Hao was a bit lenient.

"I haven't known Dayao for a long time, but I know the World Championships and Olympic Games. If you don't ask him to, he will play by himself, but there is no need for Asian-level competitions."

Sun Hao said.

"This... Xiao Sun, you may not know the actual situation of the men's basketball team. We are changing from old to new. If Yao Ming doesn't play, we may not be able to win the championship."

Li Yuanwei looked embarrassed.

"Don't think that I'm being utilitarian. The Asian Championships and the Asian Games are all linked to the World Championships and the Olympics. If we don't get a place, then the competition is actually out of the question."

Sun Hao was thoughtful, but what Li Yuanwei said was true.

"Director Li, I agree with what you said, but we all need to be aware of one thing. Dayao's height is doomed to him not being able to endure the uninterrupted games of the NBA and the national team. ~ 10 years to waste.

Do you think China can produce another Yao Ming? "

Sun Hao's words stopped Li Yuanwei.

He came from the sports team, and he knows that Yao Ming's talent is said to be once in 50 years because the history of domestic basketball is only 50 years. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is unique.

"What do you think of this? Change the third rule, unconditional to obligatory, and we will recruit according to the actual situation, but if Dayao can't come, how about you come?"

After all, Li Yuanwei is a member of the officialdom, and he has made a good choice of interests.

"Okay, but the third article is canceled directly, it's meaningless to play with words."

Sun Hao agreed.

"No problem, no problem."

When Li Yuanwei heard that Sun Hao agreed, he immediately changed his mind.

After seeing off Li Yuanwei, Sun Hao couldn't help but sigh.

Although Li Yuanwei has an official air, he is indeed a man of practical work.

To put it bluntly, the overall level of the men's basketball team is still not enough.

The United States played in the American competition, and the ten-line team sent by the United States can still win the championship.

But don't feel like he's putting himself in it either.

He and Yao Ming only played once or twice at most, and later Yi Jianlian grew up, and the Asian competitions just happened to give him practice.

Moreover, with so many people playing in the NBA, the domestic basketball atmosphere is different, and the enthusiasm of Chinese people for basketball is also different.

In addition, Li Yuanwei is a person who pays close attention to youth training, a virtuous circle, and there will be more "Yi Jianlian" in the future.

As for winning the championship, the national team is not like it will be in the future, and Zhu Fangyu and Li Nan are not just for nothing.

And there are Battelle, Wang Zhizhi and others.

Of course, the most important thing is to cancel what Yao understands in black and white.

In the future, Yao Ming can also make decisions based on the actual situation, instead of blindly being passive like in history.

It is quite enough to be able to do this.

Li Yuanwei flew back to China after confirming that Sun Hao would play in the Asian Championships.

He still has a lot of work to do.

Yao Ming and Sun Hao stayed in the villa that night, turned on the TV and waited to watch the evening lottery meeting.

The rules of the NBA draft lottery are complicated and complicated, but simple and simple.

14 table tennis balls, write numbers from 1 to 14, four random combinations, a total of 1001 combinations.

Excluding the numbers 11/12/13/14, there are a total of 1,000, which are allocated to teams that have not entered the playoffs in a certain proportion.

This whole process depends on how well the random combination of high school math teachers teaches.

All told, the result is that the team with the worst record has 250 combinations and a 25 percent chance of winning the No. 1 lottery.

Then according to the distribution according to the ratio, the non-playoff team with the best record has only 5 combinations, and there is only a 0.5% probability.

Here is a detail, the number of combinations obtained by each team is linked to the number of teams participating in the lottery.

When this lottery system was first implemented, there were only 11 teams. Keeping the probability of the team with the worst record and the team with the best record unchanged, the remaining teams will be distributed in proportion.

Now there are 13 teams, how much will be assigned, at this time, I really can only ask the high school math teacher.

Those details aside, the result is that as long as the combination in your hand is the same as the number drawn out, the corresponding lottery is yours.

And this lottery, in fact, is to draw the top three picks, the number one pick, the second place, and the No. 1 pick, in order.

After these three picks are determined, the remaining first rounds are all arranged in order of record from worst to best.

The rules are like this. In fact, when it comes to tension, we have to count those bad teams.

That's the probability in exchange for a bad season. If you don't get a good pick in the end, you can directly suffer internal injuries.

The European emperor, or the African chieftain, will decide his fate by those few ping-pong balls.

But this is also the charm of the draw.

Even in order to get a lucky lottery, drawing lots on behalf of each team is out of tricks.

All of them are famous, Auerbach's cigars, French holy water, the boss's son (Nick Gilbert) and so on.

Even in 1989, then Pacers general manager Donnie Walsh raised it to the spiritual world.

Before the lottery, he contacted several psychologists in the Indianapolis area, asking for some positive psychological hints.

Don't think that superstition is something unique to us. In fact, it is the same all over the world.

Take the future outbreak of the epidemic as an example, the Americans even let the pastor shout to disperse the virus in the political hall, that is much more interesting than this.

All in all, in order to get a higher ranking, the representatives showed their talents.

The Washington Wizards went even further and directly sent the team's new president of basketball operations, the god of basketball, Michael Jordan, who was called Black Jesus by the players.

This is probably the most special lucky charm in the history of the lottery.

"Who do you think can win the lottery?"

The lottery is about to start, Yao Ming looked a little nervous, he turned his head and asked Sun Hao while shaking his legs.

"Wizards."

"So sure?"

"Well, if nothing unexpected happens."

Sun Hao traveled through time, and Xiao Jiujiu in this lottery meeting can still find some connections.

Because this kind of game is the same as sports lottery. Laymen watch the excitement, and experts watch the way.

If Jordan has really decided to come back, then this signing is 100% for the Wizards.

This is Stern's gift, just like those future No. 1 picks in Cleveland.

The lottery machine, which represents the fate of each team, started to move, and the number combination of Tanhua, No. 2 and No. 1 was also determined.

In fact, there is nothing interesting about this process. What is interesting is the subsequent announcement process.

The 14 lottery teams will be announced one by one according to their records from best to worst. This is the most exciting part.
