Shen Xiao brought Wang Zhizhi, who had just attended the press conference, back to the Amazon Center. He found the physical trainer, Mike Mancias, and instructed,""Mike, I'm handing the king over to you. He would do physical training without hurting his body.”
"Within three months, I want the king to lose weight.”
"Okay, boss." Mike Mancias was wearing a gray training suit. He stood beside the basketball cart and smiled slightly, revealing his iconic white teeth.
"Nutritionist? Mo Lei, go make the call. Get Jimmy, the nutritionist, back to work. I'll pay for overtime!”Shen Xiao turned around, looked at General Manager Mo Lei, and instructed.
"Okay, boss." Mo Lei took out his phone from his trousers.
"Basically, Mike used to be Michael Jordan's personal trainer. Your stamina and strength are insufficient. You are too heavy and your movement speed is slow. These are your weaknesses at this stage.”
Shen Xiao pointed at Wang Zhizhi and said earnestly,"You have to lose weight while training your physical strength and strength. All domestic coaches had a common problem, which was that they did not like confrontation. He always liked to let his players turn around and shoot. You can completely dominate the domestic league. It was not possible here because the defense was strong.”
"Whether or not you can stand in the NBA depends on your own hard work.”
"Coach, I will definitely work harder.”He nodded his head with a determined expression.
"The fifth is our home game. I'll put you on the injured list to feel the atmosphere at home. On the 7th, we'll play an away game."
"If you can get a foothold in the NBA. You are the pride of the Chinese people, the pride of the nation. Because you have the bloodline of the descendants of the Yellow Emperor.”
Shen Xiao's chicken soup for the soul made his blood boil."However, in the later matches. I might send you to the Canon Swordsmen in the development league. The rules there are the same as the NBA.
That afternoon, Shen Xiao made a phone call and helped to rent a private apartment about one kilometer away from the Amazon Center. He discussed with the landlord, Uncle Tom, and paid a thousand dollars in rent to get the key.
He returned to the loan center and handed the key to Dazhi, telling him the exact address in detail. It was written on a piece of paper.
“what？Boss, you still want reinforcements!"
"But, with the king. Our team already has thirteen players.”When Mo Lei heard this, he was in disbelief.
"Wang Zhizhi is extra. What I value is his own commercial value. Do you understand?"
"He's Chinese, sign him. Our team can get a huge domestic fan market.”Shen Xiao said earnestly.
"Oh, I understand now. Boss, are you thinking of sending the king to the development alliance? He wanted to use this opportunity to attract the attention of the country on the other side of the ocean.”
Mo Lei's eyes lit up.
That evening, Shen Xiao drove his GMC RV and drove Mo Lei out of Orlando and onto the interstate highway.
"Hi, Mo Lei. You have to know that this is the 21st century. The most important thing in the 21st century is talent!”
"The rise of a team requires a large number of star players, or even all-stars.”
"Therefore, we must hoard talents. You have to trust my judgment. Iguodala and Howard have cooperated well in the first three games, plus James.”
The corners of Shen Xiao's mouth curled up slightly, and his face was filled with confidence. His entire person was like a spring breeze.
This was a small loophole within the rules. Non-draft players were not acquired in the draft. They were acquired through other means, such as signing from low-level leagues or overseas leagues, or signing as free agents.
It was only in the later years that the NBA introduced new rules. Clearly determine the age of the players!
This time, his target was Ben Gordon!
He was known as the revival of the Bull Dynasty and was the third pick in the first round of 2004.
The advantage was that he was a dual energy guard with a gorgeous jump shot, which meant that he could play the first and second positions. However, its weakness was obvious. It was strong but lacked wingspan. His athletic ability was average. Defensive shooting guards lacked height and defensive point guards lacked speed.
However, if he was allowed to play in the fourth quarter, he could even play an unexpected effect, or even act as a surprise. He might even be able to turn the tables!
Late at night, five in the morning.
Shen Xiao and Mo Lei took a Bombardier private jet and landed at the airport in downtown Connecticuti. They took a taxi and headed to the University of Connecticuti overnight.
"Boss, you should at least tell me in advance. Who is our target this time?"
"Is he a player who plays in the NCAA?”Mo Lei yawned as he sat in the car and looked at Shen Xiao.
"No, it's Ben Gordon. A defender who could play both the first and second position.”Shen Xiao leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes to rest.
"Ben Gordon? Boss, we already have Nash. Mo Williams and Iguodala." Mo Lei looked at Shen Xiao and frowned, wanting to dissuade him.
"Morey, there are countless dirty tricks on the NBA court. Confrontations and injuries are common occurrences.”
"No one can guarantee that such a lineup will make it to the finals. Against the F-4 lineup of the Los Angeles Clippers!"
"Not to mention the fourth verse. There was even the possibility of overtime.”Shen Xiao was shrewd and had a look of foresight.
After hearing this, Morey's mouth twitched. They had only played three matches. He was actually thinking about how to play in the finals?
My big boss is really…too impatient.
When he arrived at the University of Connecticuti, he asked the students and found the basketball court of the University of Connecticuti.
"Hello, I'm Morey, the general manager of the Oakland Cavaliers. This is my work ID." Morey walked in and saw a group of NCAA students practicing shuttle runs in the arena. He walked up to them.
Before Mo Lei left, he even put on a work badge to prove his identity as the general manager.
"No, no, no, me and my boss, the head coach of the Cavaliers. This time, he came to find Ben Gordon.”Mo Lei turned sideways and pointed at Shen Xiao.
"Ben! The boss of Knight Ace Mecha Clan is here to see you!"
"My God, Ben. You've already been recognized by the NBA and are about to enter the league.”
"Oh my god, you haven't even participated in the talent show yet, and you're actually valued by a Knight. You're really lucky.”
Some of the surrounding players were envious, some were jealous, and some sincerely wished them well.
"Hello, nice to meet you. I am Ben Gordon."
Ben Gordon held a basketball in his right hand and dribbled it under his crotch. He turned around 15 feet and made a fadeaway jump shot.
Swoosh! The basketball went into the net.
"Hello, Gordon. I like you. You're an all-round scoring and efficient player. Therefore, she took a plane overnight and flew over. I want to sign a contract with you and join the Cavaliers. Come to the Cavaliers and win the championship with James!”
Shen Xiao walked forward and spoke eloquently.
Ben Gordon was hesitant because there was still one more year left in his university career. If she dropped out of school like this, she wouldn't be able to get a degree.
Go? Or not?
Entering the NBA meant that he could get more money!!
"I want to ask. How many years do you want to sign me? How much is the annual salary?"
"If the pay is too little, then I might as well finish this year. He could directly participate in next year's talent show and even enter the small green house. This way, I can feel more at ease." Ben Gordon voiced his concerns.
"Hehe, Gordon. Don't worry, I'm the owner of the Cavaliers and also the head coach. So I can give you a five-year contract right now! A verbal promise." Shen Xiao stretched out his right hand and opened his fingers.
"35 million for five years! And it's a full guarantee contract. Listen carefully, full guarantee! The final year is a team option!"
Shen Xiao showed full sincerity. Because there were too many people, he did not explain the details of the contract!
"Good! Okay, I've decided to drop out of school and go with you. Sign a contract with Knight."
Ben Gordon's worries were completely dispelled.
Many young players joined the NBA for money!! In order to give his family a better life!
A day later, Ben Gordon went through the withdrawal procedures.
November 3rd, noon. In the head coach's office at Amazon Center.
"Boss, this is Ben's contract. A total of five years, 35 million." Mo Lei had just printed out the contract from the legal department in three copies.
