At this time, the bald head coach Bickerstaff walked up to Chen Xiao and said excitedly,""Young man, you must stay on the team. I will apply to the management. Your figure is very suitable for my tactical requirements!”
Now Bickerstaff's main tactic was defensive counterattack and positional play. All of this was because the players on the team only had such a pattern.
Wouldn't it kill James Harden if he became a 3D player? However, Chen Xiao's arrival would give the team another tactic.
This was because the other party was very much in line with Bickerstaff's pick-and-roll tactics. With Howard's personality, he naturally would not do blue-collar work. This was also the reason why the Rockets wanted to trade him. He clearly had no ability, but he still had to be self-righteous and pretend to be super big. This was a headache for the Rockets!
After the training, Mo Lei took the initiative to bring Chen Xiao to his office.
"Chen, I'll give you a ten-day short-term contract first. After you've played a few games in the summer league, I'll decide how much to pay you based on your condition and data! Alright?" Mo Lei said carefully.
At this moment, Bill Duffy, who was once a member of Team Yao, walked in. He looked at the shrewd Morey and said,""Do you think that getting a ten-day contract is like fooling Chen? This was underestimating his talent. Judging from Chen's performance just now, Mo Lei, are you sure you only want to give him a 10-day contract?”
At this time, the big fatty Mo Lei looked at the legendary agent Bill Duffy in front of him with narrowed eyes. He didn't expect the other party to stand up for Chen Xiao at this time.
"What's wrong? Bill, don't you think I should first see the other party's performance before giving out the contract?”As the general manager of the Rockets, Morey was not a pushover. He quickly retorted!
At this time, even Chen Xiao knew that Morey was prepared to see what kind of performance he had in the summer league, but it definitely wouldn't be a good contract.
"Hehe, believe it or not, I can turn around and recommend Chen to the Spurs. I believe Popovich will be very interested in Chen!”Bill Duffy said as he looked at Mo Lei.
The head coach of the Spurs, Gregg Popovich, was definitely good at coaching the inside line. With his vision, he would probably sign Chen Xiao at all costs.
There was no reason. Even if the team had Leonard, the top scorer and best defensive player, it couldn't stop Popovich from liking the traditional inside line.
Because the other side had repeatedly stated that they did not like players to shoot three-pointers, even if the trend of small balls had arrived, the Spurs 'style of play was still the traditional positional play to slow down the pace.
At this moment, Chen Xiao had a good impression of Bill Duffy, especially after helping him bargain with Mo Lei.
Now, he began to take his talent seriously. He was a man who could have the super soldier serum. If the Rockets did not sign him, he would definitely be criticized to death in the future. This was giving up on a super man.
Chen Xiao began to look at Mo Lei seriously. His mentality had changed. In the past, he always appeared in front of everyone with an introverted personality. Now, he felt that he needed to change.
He was a man with a cheat, so why was he so timid in everything he did?
He said," Yes, General Manager. Uncle Bill's meaning is my own. If you don't give me a guaranteed contract, then I'm sorry, but I can only go to the Spurs for training!”
Moreover, Chen Xiao had a good impression of Popovich of the Spurs. No matter which veteran came to the Spurs, they would be reborn. The head coach of the other team was very good at arranging the formation of the team. He had educated James many times in the past!
Morey looked at the two of them awkwardly. He did not have Bill Duffy's appearance, which would disrupt his plans. He had originally wanted to use the data from the summer league to sign a contract with Chen Xiao for a few years, but now it seemed that his plan to take advantage of Chen Xiao had been seen through!
"Sure, I have a three-year rookie contract worth 24 million. What do you think?”Mo Lei said sincerely.
At this moment, Uncle Bill gave Chen Xiao a look, indicating that he should not say anything. He would be the one talking the entire time.
Chen Xiao knew that his eloquence and calculation were not as experienced as Bill Duffy, so he shut his mouth.
Moreover, after this matter was over, he would definitely choose Bill Duffy as his agent, because with this agent, any business matters could be maximized for him.
"Morey, I can tell you clearly that Chen only signed a one-year rookie contract. The second year is a free agent!”Bill Duffy said forcefully.
He had already seen from Chen Xiao's eyes that the other party had left everything to him. Moreover, the other party was Yao's comrade, so he would definitely believe him. After all, he was once Yao's team One Yuan!
Morey immediately waved his hand and said loudly," That's impossible, Bill. No one in the NBA would sign such a short-term contract. And how can you be so sure that Chen will be able to produce numbers in one year?”
Bill Duffy laughed." Of course, I said that Chen's contract will only be signed for one year. He must be a free agent in the second year. If you want to take advantage of him, you're wrong. Chen won't suffer under my hands!”
The two shrewd businessmen were currently engaged in a brief and intense confrontation.
Chen Xiao knew that he couldn't do such a thing, and he didn't want to go through so much trouble. After all, his main job was to play basketball. He would leave these off-court matters to his agent.
Now, he already treated Bill Duffy as his agent. This was the former leader of Big Yao's agent team. He probably wouldn't cheat him. After all, with Big Yao's character and Uncle Li's relationship, he wouldn't cheat him.
Moreover, it was very common for the NBA to change agents. Once they found out that their agents were cheating them, they could immediately change them!
In the office, Morey was defeated in the end. In the first year, he only gave Chen Xiao a contract of 6 million yuan. Although it was not much compared to Howard's annual salary of more than 20 million yuan, it was already a salary for a blue-collar insider. This was given by Morey after he saw Chen Xiao beat Capella.
If it was similar to Capella, Mo Lei would at most give him a salary of three million.
Bill Duffy looked at the results of the contract with satisfaction and said to Chen Xiao,""Chen, this is the biggest benefit I've fought for you. Don't worry, with your talent, your second year's contract will definitely be the best!”
Even Mo Lei was puzzled. Could Bill Duffy be a scout? Otherwise, why would he be so optimistic about Chen Xiao?
