The contract was signed.
What happened next was much simpler.
Tailored jerseys, physical examinations, distribution of wardrobes, shooting team makeup photos
Ren Xiao paid a portion of his salary in advance and rented an apartment near the Staples Center.
He didn't have much money now, and his main goal was to make a name for himself as soon as possible.
The apartment was located in the business district of Los Angeles, only 300 meters from the Staples Center.
They could enjoy the beautiful night view of the metropolis.
There was also free Wi-Fi, an outdoor swimming pool, a fitness center, a garden, a terrace, and free parking.
Ren Xiao cooperated with the team's plans and participated in various trainings in an orderly manner.
During this period of time, he also had a general understanding of the players on the team.
The young talents of the Laker team were all holding their breath to prove themselves in the new season.
One reason was that he was young and had a good performance. The other reason was Ren Xiao's big contract.
In particular, Ingram and Ball, the two second-placed players who were fighting for the team's boss, were quite unhappy that Ren Xiao, a previously unknown big guy, actually got a big contract of 15 million.
They were the top two in the talent show, but their annual salary was only half of Ren Xiao's.
As for other young talents such as Kuzma, Hart, and Zubacs, perhaps because of the draft picks, they did not show any obvious dissatisfaction.
However, judging from their crazy training, they must be envious and jealous.
At the same time.
The news of Ren Xiao signing a one-year contract of 15 million yuan also caused a huge commotion on the domestic Internet.
"Ren Xiao signed with the Laker for 15 million a year? Our Great Dynasty finally has a player who shines on the NBA stage again. Ren Xiao is awesome!”
"Is the person above an idiot? He signed a four-year contract with the Rockets. Wasn't he from China?”
"Ren Xiao's one-year contract is almost four times his four-year contract. Can the two of them have the same status on the team?”
"It seems that there are also some rich and stupid sons among the foreigners. Ren Xiao didn't even play a regular season, and he actually gave such a big contract?”
"I don't know why you're jealous of Ren Xiao. Were they all blind? Didn't they see Ren Xiao's violent performance in the summer league?”
" What are you guys comparing? I just want to see Ren Xiao like a shark, brazenly beating up your idol superstar, hahaha!"
“......”
Ren Xiao was not in the mood to pay attention to the controversy on the Internet.
He wanted to shut up the skeptics and trolls.
The best way was to prove it with actions!
October 1st.
2017-2018 The 2011 NBA preseason officially began.
At the stadium of the Honda Center.
The main stadium of the Anheim Ducks, which was the temporary home of the Los Angeles Clippers in the preseason.
The Clippers faced their first preseason opponent, the Nottingham Timberwolves.
Because of the Wolf King Kevin Garnett, Ren Xiao was more familiar with this team.
Ever since Garnett left the Boston Celtics and formed the Big Three with Paul Pierce and Ray Allen, the tough Timberwolves had turned into the Huskies.
The Timberwolves had a record of 58 wins and 24 losses in the 2003-04 season, ranking first in the Western Conference. However, they had missed the playoffs for 13 consecutive years.
Even though the team now had young talents such as Rupert, Higgins, Towns, and Gion, the Timberwolves still played every year.
During the off-season.
The head coach, Thibodeau, lobbied his former favorite, Butler, the core of the Bulls, to join the Timberwolves.
At the same time, the addition of Teague, Crawford, and Darrson brought an extremely scarce amount of experience to the Timberwolves, which mainly consisted of young players.
With Butler, Higgins, and Towns as the core, they were known as the three giants of the Timberwolves.
From the day the team met with the media, they had vowed to make a big move in the new season.
The confident Timberwolves 'goal for the new season was not just to enter the playoffs.
Ren Xiao, who had been awarded a one-year, 15 million annual salary contract before he even played an official NBA game, had recently become a little popular in the league.
Before the match.
The media reporters, who were good at creating news gimmicks, interviewed the three giants of the Timberwolves.
"Hey, Carl, guess who the Lakers will send to play against you today?”
"Who is it? Ivica Zubacs? I'm sorry, I beat him up last year!”
Towns sneered disdainfully and pretended to be cool.
When the reporter saw him stepping into a pit, he immediately asked,"Oh, no, it's Ren Xiao from China, the MVP of the Las Vegas Summer League. Are you ready to be challenged by him?”
Towns was stunned when he heard that, but he quickly said indifferently,""Ren Xiao? Never heard of it! The MVP of the Summer League. Sigh, it's a pity that I won't have the chance to play in such a low-end game in my life.”
This guy had a double-double of 25.1 points and 12.3 rebounding last season, and was even selected for the All-Star.
It was only his second year in the NBA, but he had already performed so well.
Some media even boasted that he would become the best center in the league soon.
The naughty reporter found the leader of the Timberwolves, Jimmy Butler.
"Ren Xiao? The rookie who had never played in the NBA but received an annual salary of 15 million? I don't mean to be disrespectful, but I still have to say that they made a terrible decision.”
"You ask me, what kind of challenge will he bring us? To be honest, I don't think the MVP of a low-level league will bring us any challenge.”
"We have the talented Carl. He will teach that rookie how cruel the NBA is!”
Butler, who was a low-ranking draft pick, seemed to be very unhappy with the behavior of getting a big contract without hard work.
When the troublemaker reporter exaggerated the words of the two Act-Tough Kings of the Forest Wolves to Ren Xiao…
He didn't fly into a rage. Instead, he teased her with a smile.
"I will make them pay for their contempt and beat them from Forest Wolves to Huskies!”
