After the two-quarter matchup, when Yang Ming walked back to the sidelines, Greenfield and Van Gundy seemed to have lost interest and turned to leave. However, the sudden commotion behind them pulled their attention back.
Yang Ming was out of his mind. After he returned to the sidelines, he suddenly danced in the crowd.
Michael Jackson's Space Dance
I catch birds and dance,
After fifteen seconds, he started dancing in front of everyone. His dance moves were not standard and were very weak. When he jumped, he looked like a zombie, causing waves of laughter.
The two big shots, Van Gundy, looked at his awkward dance and laughed.
"We were all wrong. This little guy is actually a fool!”
"But it's interesting, isn't it? Haha!"
Greenfield looked deeply at Yang Ming and suddenly exercised his authority as the general manager. He said to Don Cheney,""Inform that kid later that we have decided to sign him.”
Don Cheney nodded happily. After Greenfield left, he picked up Yang Ming, who was a little shy after the dance.
Night, Chinatown.
The starry sky was bright and the lanterns were lit.
Yang Ming had already finished showering and returned to the living room to watch TV while waiting for his mother to return with takeaway.
Ever since Mother Yang started working at his uncle's restaurant, it was difficult for her to have time to cook at home. Yang Ming could cook himself. After all, he was a person of two lifetimes. However, in order to act more in line with his age and in line with his previous life, he would usually wait for Mother Yang to pack up the food and go home after work.
At nine o'clock, Yang Ming's stomach was already growling after a tiring day. It strongly hinted that he should sacrifice his internal organs. Mother Yang finally returned home.
Yang Ming's heart ached when he saw her walk into the living room in exhaustion.
Mother Yang worked in the restaurant for the whole day. She stood almost the whole time and only had time to rest after mealtime. It was difficult for anyone to endure such tiring work, especially since Eldest Aunt was very stingy and was almost unwilling to spend money to hire. Mother Yang almost took care of everything.
However, even though he was heartbroken tonight, he was still in a good mood.
Because he was about to leave this place with his mother, leave Chinatown, and also leave the exploitation of his aunt.
"Mom, take a leave of absence tomorrow and go with me to do something.”
When he sat down to eat, Yang Ming wolfed down his food, not forgetting the important things.
"What is it?"
Mother Yang was sitting opposite him, smiling and looking at him with a loving expression.
"Accompany me to sign the contract. When I was training with the Knicks, I was told to stay. I'm going to sign the contract tomorrow.”Yang Ming replied faintly.
"Sign the contract?"
Mother Yang was extremely surprised. Her eyes stared straight at her son." You were actually chosen by them?”
Hey, I'm your biological son, and you actually used the word 'unexpectedly'…
Yang Ming rolled his eyes in dissatisfaction and said unhappily,"Mom, are you looking down on your own son? I'm very powerful."
Mother Yang was questioned but she didn't care. She smiled and said,"Look at what you're saying. How can I not like you?”
"Then it's a happy decision. I need my parents to accompany me tomorrow, and then I'll find a lawyer.”Yang Ming swallowed the food in his mouth with difficulty and smiled." The contract might be a little big. We need a lawyer to review it carefully. Otherwise, we won't even know if we're cheated.”
Although the NBA players 'contracts had become very formal and had a set of absolute standards, players were not fools. They would have agents and lawyers to help analyze and refer to them, so there were very few traps in theory.
However, he might bully a rookie like Yang Ming, so no matter what, he had to have a lawyer with him.
"Alright, let's see if we can take half a day off tomorrow.”
Mother Yang didn't ask how much the contract would involve. She had no idea how much NBA players or star players earned. She thought that her son had found a job after graduating from a trashy high school.
She had always been open-minded and supported everything Yang Ming did except breaking the law.
She was genuinely happy that her son had found a job.
However, when she thought of her sister-in-law, she frowned and said with uncertainty,"It might be very difficult. There are too few people in the restaurant.”
Yang Ming looked deeply at his mother. She still had her charm, but the corners of her eyes were covered with wrinkles. Her face was a little worn out. His heart ached. His face was cold and he said unhappily,"If you don't agree to take leave, you can resign from that job. It's my turn to support you in the future."”
"Stop joking. You just found a job. How are you going to support yourself? The expenses of the two of us are not small.”Mother Yang shook her head with a bitter smile, but after looking at her son seriously, she gritted her teeth and made up her mind,"If I can't take leave, I'll go with you even if I have to skip work.”
She valued her son's first job very much.
The next day, Yang Ming found a lawyer at a law firm in Chinatown. He brought his mother, who had painstakingly applied for a half-day leave but was still required to return to the hotel before noon, to the headquarters of the Nix Corporation.
In fact, when he arrived at the place and entered the general manager's office, Yang Ming realized that he did not need to come so grandly today.
Greenfield only offered him a training camp contract, which was an invitation to play in the summer league. The contract only had a 15-day trip.
However, it seemed that in order to show the importance the team attached to Yang Ming, the contract was given the maximum amount, and there was a clear clause attached to it, which was the priority of signing. That was, if Yang Ming performed well in the summer league and was noticed by the team, the Knicks would have priority if there were competitors.
Although Greenfield loved Yang Ming's talent and offensive ability, he was still very cautious. This was a group match, so he didn't make a hasty decision. Therefore, he chose to extend the time and continue to observe for a while.
Yang Ming didn't bargain. After all, he really hadn't proved himself in a large-scale competition. If he asked for more at this time, he would only be laughed at and humiliated.
Only after he truly proved himself would he not have to worry about being rejected.
Therefore, he asked his lawyer to take a look and confirm that there was no problem before signing his name.
When she came out of the general manager's office, Mother Yang was still in shock. She actually saw a large number on the contract.
"20,000 USD, my god, how can it be so much?”
"Yes, it's the remuneration for participating in the competition within these fifteen days. It already includes the appearance fee, accommodation fee, food and beverage fee, and the prize money.”
"20,000 in 15 days is still a lot!”
As if it was beyond her understanding, Mother Yang still couldn't believe it.
Yang Ming smiled, his expression indifferent.
He thought to himself maliciously,'If you sign a formal contract in the future and see an annual salary of millions or even tens of millions of dollars, you'll probably faint from shock, right?'
