"Sign a sneakers contract with me?" Qin Guang said in surprise,
"Yes, I am."
"Also, Qin, did you know? The price that the company offered you was not much different from the average NBA starting player. For a player who hasn't even entered the NBA, it's a sky-high contract.”
"Guess how much?"
Tom kept him in suspense.
"How much? 100 million in seven years?" Qin Guang said unhappily,
On the other end of the phone, Tom was choked by Qin Guang and kept coughing."Qin, you must be joking. 100 million for seven years is the price of a big star.”
It was 2003 now, not 2020, where big contracts were offered at a premium…
If an NBA star's annual income could exceed $10,000,000, then they would be considered to be in the middle to high level. Many strong teams 'starting players would also be paid that much. As for those with an annual salary of $20,000,000 , they were all popular star players in the league.
The annual salary was already like this, let alone the sneakers contract…
Of course, in 2020, there were many players with an annual salary of 20,000,000 . Many blue-collar players could get 15 5.
"I'm not joking. Didn't the news spread some time ago that they were planning to sign LeBlanc James a seven-year,$9,000,000 sneaker contract?”Qin Guang said faintly,
"Uh... Qin, but he is Le Bulang…" Tom said with a bitter smile, but he regretted it as soon as he finished speaking. He immediately changed his words and said,"Qin, that's not what I meant. I'm not saying that you're worse than Le Bulang, it's just that the team behind Le Bulang is much more professional than me.”
"Alright, alright. I know how many sneakers are being offered to me. Qin Guang said.
"15,000,000 dollars for five years. Qin, you have to know that even NBA players don't have a shoe contract. It's rare in the history of the NBA for a rookie to get such a big shoe contract.”
" Qin, Nick, he thinks very highly of you. Also, he praised the flirtatious Druid that we filmed…"
said Tom
"Wait a minute." "You were the one who revealed my identity as Druid?" Qin Guang interrupted.”
Qin Guang's voice revealed some dissatisfaction and anger. Tom's heart trembled and he quickly explained,""No! Qin, you've already instructed me not to reveal your identity. How can I possibly reveal your identity?"It was the reporters sent by the detroit-based sports weekly to follow and investigate. They found out your identity through Frank's license plate number.”
"There's a lot of news about you on the Internet in America now…Although Frank's makeup artist is very professional, if you compare them carefully, you can still find out.”
....
"Oh, I know." Qin Guang nodded and said,
So that was the case…
Sigh, forget it.
The netizens weren't fools. Even if the Houston Sports Weekly didn't reveal his identity, they would soon find out that a basketball expert from China was dominating Milligan.
His identity as Uncle Druid had been exposed, and his ranking on ESPM had been rising rapidly recently.
Of course, his identity as Qin Guang wasn't as famous as Uncle Druid, but the two combined.
He was famous!
It was completely popular!
Even LeBlanc James and Cameron Anthony, the two local basketball geniuses of the United States, were suppressed by him tonight when his identity as Uncle Druid was revealed.
For this reason, the keen business acumen of Nick had approached Qin Guang's agent, Tom, in hopes of signing Qin Guang on a five-year,$15,000,000 contract. This contract was really not small, just as Tom had said.
Many NBA starting players who had not reached the star level could not reach this price.
The reason why they offered such a high price to an Asian player, who had yet to officially enter the NBA, was because they were interested in the Chinese market behind him. Big Yao was an example. Moreover, Big Yao's fellow countryman knew how to play more than Big Yao.
Not only did Uncle Druid make him famous in the American street basketball circle, but he also made his way out of the circle. Many people who did not pay much attention to basketball were also very curious about this old man who could play basketball.
Moreover,
Big Yao was the center forward.
Qin Guang was the defender.
As the saying went, centers didn't sell shoes, but Qin Guang was different.
If Qin Guang could become a starter for any team during his rookie season, then it would be a huge profit for Nick.
However…
Qin Guang was not satisfied.
It was less.
How could LeBlanc James earn 93,000,000 dollars in seven years, and I only earn one-third of his?
A soldier who did not want to be a general was not a good soldier.
A transmigrator who didn't want to pretend to be X wasn't a good transmigrator.
Hmph ~
Qin Guang expressed that he didn't want to lose at the starting line.
If he signed a contract that was lower than Old Zhan's, Qin Guang would be very unhappy.
He would rather not sign the contract now. It would not be too late to sign it after he entered the NBA and made a name for himself.
As long as the price of this sneaker contract was higher than Old Zhan's first sneaker contract!!!
.......
The last team that Qin Guang tried out with was the Milkinson Bucks. The Bucks didn't try out for 5v5 games. Instead, they trained 1v1 and 2v2 with the team's trainers.
Among them, there were also many training programs that Qin Guang had played on NBA 2K20 in his previous life.
For example, dribbling through obstacles and shooting crazily in three minutes.
Qin Guang's basic abilities had improved a lot during the time he had obtained the cheat. However, if it wasn't an official competition, the badges such as First Step Lightning and Fighting the Terminator couldn't be activated.
For this reason, Qin Guang's performance was very average throughout the trial.
........
After the players who participated in the draft experienced the trials of many NBA teams, it was time for the finale.
The night of the 2003 NBA draft!!!
This year was widely recognized as the year of the draft. There was the world-famous top high school student, Lebrang James; the champion of Syracuse University, Cameron Anthony; the single-handedly leading Marquis University to the NCAA semifinals, Dwyane Wade; the genius inside player, Chris Bosh; the European genius, Dako Milicic, who had dropped in the rankings due to his trial training being beaten by Qin Guang; and Qin Guang, who had recently become famous because of " Uncle Druid " and suppressed the stars.
