I am so Accurate

Chapter 603 Renew the contract with the Warriors!

The first thing he did when he came back was to open social media to see what had happened in the past period.

In Hawaii, immersed in family fun, he didn't pay attention to the free market except for Gu Yi's phone call.

Seeing so much news this time is similar to the feeling of waking up early in the morning and using my mobile phone to read the news.

Then, there is a scene like this:

Boozer went to the Wizards?

It’s interesting! This sworn enemy in history has become a teammate!

Ben Gordon goes to Pistons?

Are the Pistons still a defense-oriented team with this configuration? It seems the countdown to Anthony's departure from Detroit is coming!

The Nuggets actually want Big Ben?

It's better to ask for O'Neal directly!

Well, every village has access to the Internet...

Of course not all.

Because the free market ended immediately after Sun Hao returned, other signings were completed one after another.

For example, Turkoglu signed with the Jazz for 60 million in 5 years.

There is a big difference between here and history.

The reason for this is because of the Magic's current salary structure.

Howard's maximum salary contract takes effect this season, plus Arenas and Lewis, this is already three maximum salaries.

Although Howard has just entered his rookie season and his maximum salary is not much, the Magic can no longer afford to renew Turkoglu.

The Jazz just lost starting power forward Boozer, and with Okur and Turkoglu both from Turkey, this result is reasonable.

And before that, the Jazz also brought Hinrich over from the Bucks through a trade.

Hinrich, Ronny Brewer, Kirilenko, Turkoglu, Okur.

The Jazz's configuration, standard team basketball, will also be somewhat competitive in the Western Conference next season.

For another example, the battle for Marion finally came to an end.

Marion chose to join the Nuggets for 39 million in five years.

The average length of this contract is only more than 7 million. Compared with Marion's contract of more than 17 million last year, it is only a fraction of the standard.

His market price is close to that of Odom, and it should be in the tens of millions.

But unlike Odom, Marion's average annual salary is less than expected because he signed a long-term contract.

After all, he is 31 years old now, and he will be 36 years old when this contract ends.

For a short inside player, that's almost the age to retire.

The Nuggets getting Marion is also their best result.

This is tantamount to a major change in the inside line. Martin + Camby are replaced by Marion + Ben. The height of the inside line has plummeted, but the flexibility has greatly increased.

This is obviously what Karl wants to see more.

Besides, it’s easy to understand why Marion chose the Nuggets.

On the one hand, the Nuggets are still a championship-level team.

On the other hand, he can't go to the Heat!

As for what Pat Riley did to O'Neal, he might have been sold as a bargaining chip not long after he went to the Heat.

I beat Riley every day, and I feel sorry for Wade every day...

Wade and Anthony are on the countdown to leaving the team.

Finally, there’s the Warriors.

Within two days of returning to Oakland, Sun Hao signed a four-year, 76.6 million maximum salary contract with the Warriors.

Some people will ask why there is a gap between Sun Hao's contract and Kobe's.

This is because NBA maximum salary contracts have rules. The starting salary of the maximum salary is different for 0 to 6 years, 7 to 9 years, and more than 10 years.

Kobe has played in the league for 13 years, and the maximum starting salary he can sign is 35% of the salary cap, while Sun Hao has only played for 8 years, and his starting salary is only 30% of the salary cap.

Moreover, Sun Hao's contract is in the 2+1+1 model, and he will have player options after two years.

In other words, two years later, after he has played 10 years in the NBA, he will be able to start signing a maximum salary contract with 35% of the salary cap.

Although Rich Paul became a monk halfway, he is still very capable in the field of agents after so many years.

Of course, this is not the only check the Warriors owner has written this year.

After signing Sun Hao, the Warriors immediately renewed Durant's contract with a five-year standard maximum salary of 82 million yuan.

Durant still has one year left on his rookie contract, and this early extension for the third year is also routine.

In addition to Durant, among the 2006 rookies, Roy also reached such a contract with the Trail Blazers.

These two are also the only two rookies in the 2006 class to receive such big contracts.

Then, in addition to Sun Hao and Durant, there are three people who came to the team's general manager's office to sign contracts today, Curry, Danny Green and Matthews.

This is just waiting for Sun Hao to come back and sign everyone at once.

Because after signing the contract, the Warriors have to hold a press conference.

Of the remaining three people, Curry has a standard lottery pick contract, 16.89 million in four years, 2+1+1 model.

Green signed a four-year, $5 million contract, with the first year fully guaranteed and the next three years partially guaranteed with team options.

Matthews signed a two-year, $1 million, completely non-guaranteed contract, with the second year also being a team option.

Let’s talk about the jersey numbers of the three people.

Curry is No. 30.

The reason he chose this number is simple because his father, Dell Curry, also wore No. 30.

This is a legacy. It is rare for a father and his son to have the same number in the NBA, and it is considered a very unique thing.

And he did this in college.

Green is No. 4.

Different fates on the same team. Green wore No. 14 in college, and he wants to continue wearing this number after entering the league.

However, because the team currently wears No. 14, Landry, a second-round pick who just entered the league, is naturally not qualified to give up to others, so he finally chose No. 4.

Matthews is No. 23.

In contrast, Matthews is relatively lucky. The somewhat special number 23 is not special for the Warriors.

He got his wish to wear his college jersey number.

But in fact, for Green and Matthews, numbers are not the most important thing.

The most important thing for them now is to perform well in the summer league and strive to stay on the team.

Each signing will have a close-up shot, which the team uses to make official announcements on social media.

After posing for photos, it was time for them to attend the press conference.

Before signing, their respective jerseys had been prepared in advance, because there was a makeup photo taken before the press conference.

The team's arrangement this time is also very interesting, allowing three rookies to take a group photo together, with Curry in the C position, with a cold expression on his face.

No matter how I look at this photo, I find it funny.

But Curry seemed to be having a lot of fun.

If you come back and look at these photos in a few years, the people in the photos will definitely have a lot of feelings.

Finally, there is the press conference.

The press conference was packed with people.

Sun Hao had been disappearing before, and immediately announced his plans to join the Warriors after appearing. This operation made most people's heads buzz.

So reporters have too many questions to ask him right now.

No, as soon as Sun Hao sat down, a bunch of people below him raised their hands.

Curry sitting next to him was stunned by this.

He had never seen this spectacular scene before!

The staff on the side "randomly" selected one.

"Hello, this is Sean Lackey, a reporter from ESPN. I want to ask Sun, why did you finally choose to renew your contract with the Warriors?"

This is a very common question, and it is also the question that reporters from the following media are most concerned about.

"I decided from the beginning to stay."

Sun Hao's answer caused a stir below.

This is a killer!

"……Why?"

The reporter named Lucky was also stunned for a while, and then asked.

"You know, moving is a hassle and I've just adjusted to life in Auckland and everything here makes me feel comfortable."

Sun Hao's answer made the reporters in the audience burst into laughter.

He didn't say any secrets that were not known to everyone, but what he said was fine.

Players are also divided into several levels. Role players need to go to teams with playing time, and superstars need to go to teams that suit them. For someone like him, of course, comfort comes first!

Because they are the cornerstone, they determine the lower limit!

After this question, other reporters were called out one after another, and the people they asked questions were all Sun Hao.

There were all kinds of questions, some were unwilling to ask why he didn't choose a certain team, some asked where he went when he disappeared...

This scene made Curry and Green on the side even more dumbfounded.

This newbie meeting is exclusively for Sun Hao!

However, Durant has obviously already adapted to this scene, and he has already taken out his mobile phone and started playing under the table.

There were too many questions, and Sun Hao himself was a little numb when answering them.

Just when he was about to say, "Can you also ask other people questions?", the next reporter who stood up "stealed" his words.

"Stephen, the outside world doesn't think well of you now. They think it was not a wise choice for the Warriors to replace you with their starting point guard. What do you think of this voice?"

Reporters asked questions, but no one answered.

Curry turned around and looked at Sun Hao stupidly. When Green reminded him on the other side, he realized that he was the one asking.

"Excuse me?"

Curry's first words in his Warriors career also made everyone below laugh.

This guy probably didn’t realize it was him who was asking the question, and then he didn’t hear the question clearly!

"Hello, I'm Adrian Wojonovsky, a reporter from ESPN..."

The reporter was patient and not only repeated the question, but also introduced himself again.

Sun Hao was stunned for a moment, then fixed his gaze on the reporter who asked the question.

Good guy, isn’t this WoJ!

Because he was too young, he didn't recognize it at once.

Curry heard the question clearly this time, but the first question he faced in his NBA career was a bit sharp.

After all, this kind of thing is beyond his control.

He didn't know how to answer at first, and ended up laughing.

Because of that baby face, this smile doesn't make people feel stupid, but is indescribably cute.

This really looks like a primary school student who is at a loss!

"I can only do the best with what I can control, and I mean, I'm going to do my best to help the team."

Curry said after laughing.

The low profile of these words also highlights Curry's character. He is not a player like Iverson and Kobe, and may even be the complete opposite.

But there is nothing wrong with what he said. After all, he is just a player.

"We are very optimistic about Stephen's talent and he has the opportunity to grow into an All-Star or even better player."

Jerry West then took the microphone and took the initiative to add something.

What this means is that you should stop having problems like this. The management only values ​​his talent.

Woj's reaction was quite quick. He didn't ask any more questions and just sat down.

However, his question successfully dispersed the questions, and Durant and Green also received some questions one after another.

After the press conference ended, Curry followed Sun Hao out and found Woj waiting for them at the door.

"I'm sorry for asking such an offensive question earlier. Can I buy you a cup of coffee to specifically apologize?"

Woj's face was full of apology and sincerity.

If Sun Hao didn't know who he was, he would probably be moved by his sincerity.

But if I know woj... I believe your ghost!

This is probably to get some news out of Curry's mouth that no one knows.

If a kid like Curry, who just entered the league, really sat down with him, everything he should say and shouldn't be said would be poached.

And judging from this wave of operations, woj does have something.

The probability of Curry accepting a private interview with a stranger is very small, but the probability of rejecting an apology from a seemingly inexperienced reporter is still very high.

Everyone's success is not accidental.

Of course, Sun Hao would not let this kind of "success" happen.

"Stephen accepts your apology, but he still has something to do with me, so there's no need to drink the coffee."

Sun Hao refused for Curry before he could speak.

Woj's expression was slightly embarrassed.

His idea was good, but he ignored the variables brought about by Sun Hao's existence.

"I am a columnist for ESPN. If you need anything, please contact me."

However, he quickly adjusted his mood and took out two business cards from his pocket with a smile.

Sun Hao did not refuse the business card. After accepting it, he and Curry left first.

"Next time you encounter this situation, don't feel embarrassed and just refuse."

After walking a little further, Sun Hao started to guide Curry.

It can be seen from various details that Sun Hao really regards Curry as his eldest nephew.

"He doesn't have any ill intentions, right?"

Curry nodded, but couldn't help but say something.

Sun Hao stopped at this time, and then looked at Curry with a serious expression.

"Stephen, as a group of reporters, news materials are their job. You wouldn't want your and Ayesha's love experience to be reported in an article by a reporter one day, would you?"

Curry shook his head wildly after hearing this.

"I see."

Curry is not stupid.

It was not that he had never encountered reporters when he was in the NCAA, but it was obvious that WoJ's methods were a step above those of those reporters.

He learned a lesson from Sun Hao before he even entered the NBA.

After the press conference, Curry, Green and Matthews followed the assistant coaches to Las Vegas.

Like Sun Hao, they are also about to start their summer league journey.

Sun Hao was not idle either.

Due to his temporary comeback last year, he didn't have much time to adjust and recover.

This summer, there will be no national team games, which will be the best opportunity for him.

But this time he is not immersed in training alone, but is preparing to go to Houston first.

He plans to be Yao Ming's junior and learn his dream moves from Olajuwon.

Just when he was heading to Houston, a system notification sounded in his mind.

"Congratulations to the host, the system has successfully unlocked version 3.0."

This system has actually been upgraded! !

My mental state is very poor during this period, and I can't sleep well. I will update 4,000 words for a while and let me adjust it. I'm really sorry.
