Two days later, a group of reporters from China's Tengxun Sports column came to Las Vegas excitedly.
They were here on an interview mission, and their target was Lu Yi, who had shone brilliantly in the summer league.
However, when they rushed to the New York Knicks 'hotel, they were told by the staff that Lu Yi had been traded and was already on a plane to Chicago.
These people were instantly confused.
"What happened?"
Zhou Ling, a famous female reporter stationed in the NBA, was the first to raise a question.
"Does this mean that he has officially signed with the Chicago Bulls?”
"Uh, it should be signed first and then exchanged. I don't know if this deal has come out yet. We didn't see it before.”A cameraman replied thoughtfully.
"No matter what, I should be happy for him. Heavens, where did this guy come from? There was actually no information about him beforehand.”
"Yes, we were also very puzzled. It was as if he had jumped out of a rock and appeared directly in front of us. But what's certain is that he's not a player from the system. Otherwise, we wouldn't have had no news at all.”
"If it weren't for the fact that his outstanding performance in the summer league was spread all over the country, we probably wouldn't have been able to ask him in detail.”
Zhou Ling and the two staff members of the team complained. After complaining enough, she turned to the team leader of this trip.
"What should we do now? Then fly to Chicago?"
"Fly. Otherwise, how can we complete the mission given by the higher-ups?”The middle-aged man, who was also the head of the Tengxun NBA's field team, frowned and said,""If we don't fly over as soon as possible, we might not get the first-hand information.”
"We should have asked him for an interview some time ago, right? But because of Zhou Qi, you didn't let me come.”Zhou Ling replied unhappily," This Lu Yi's performance is much better than Zhou Qi's. He missed the opportunity at that time. It's really annoying."”
"Alright, it's a mission from the higher-ups. What else can you do?”
The middle-aged team leader stopped her grumbling and quickly called the airport staff to book another ticket.
During this period of time, many reporters had successfully caught Lu Yi and interviewed him, including them. However, he could only ask a few questions that were neither too painful nor too itchy. He did not even know where the other party was going next. New York's Rambis was very successful in protecting Lu Yi, which almost kept him very mysterious.
As a result, they did not even know about the deal that involved Lu Yi.
If Lu Yi hadn't performed well in three consecutive matches, he might not have received the attention of the higher-ups and would have focused on the devil king Zhou Qi.
Now, they had to fly to Chicago to chase after that man.
Lu Yi's sudden appearance in the Summer League had caught everyone off guard and disrupted their plans. At this moment, they were completely passive.
On the plane, Lu Yi's mood was very complicated.
Because the New York Knicks signed him, but his future did not belong to New York.
In the past few days, many scouts had been circling around him, promising him all kinds of conditions to let him choose their team. But because the Knicks were the parent team, he directly refused. Because he believed that these people's promises were just promises. If they did not have a formal contract, everything would be empty air.
What if he agreed to them and rejected the contract offer from the New York Knicks, and they went back on their word? Wouldn't he miss the opportunity to enter the NBA?
As someone who played basketball alone in a foreign land, he had to be extremely careful. Of course, it was also because he didn't know anything. Fighting alone outside gave him a strong sense of uneasiness, making him skeptical about everything.
But two nights ago, Rambis was the first to tell him that the team was ready to give him an official contract. He was very excited and secretly relieved at the same time.
His dream was finally about to come true.
Today was the day he officially signed a contract with the New York Knicks.
However, before he signed the contract, Rambis and the marketing manager of the Knicks informed him that the signing was to make a deal with the Bulls. He would be sent to Chicago on a sign-and-trade basis.
After he signed a 1 1 contract with a team option for the second year and a total base salary of 3 million, he was both excited and helpless.
He had only played three good games in the summer league and had yet to become a star player before he became a commodity and was sent to other teams to experience the helplessness of a low-level player.
Fortunately, at least he had an official contract. His efforts were not in vain. Moreover, he was currently a millionaire with an annual salary of more than a million dollars. He was quite content.
He had yet to prove himself in an official match, so he could not ask for more.
The plane slowly descended from the skies of Chicago.
When he left the airport, he was surprised to see a group of people waiting outside. The leader was the youth head coach of the Chicago Bulls, Hoyberg. When they saw him, they all smiled and walked towards him. Behind them, there were two black Mercedes Benz with the Chinese words " Welcome Lu Yi to the Bulls " on it.
Oh my god, I'm just a rookie with a low salary. Why did I make such a big fuss?
When Lu Yi saw all this, he was suddenly a little flattered.
