Chen Fang's eyes widened.
Was this considered an official invitation?
Chen Fang nodded almost subconsciously.
Of course, he wanted to play in the NBA. As for the Laker team, Chen Fang wanted to play too.
To be honest, compared to the Clippers, Chen Fang liked the Clippers more. After all, the Clippers had been more popular in the country for the past two years.
Jackson nodded with a smile on his face, his heart filled with emotions.
In fact, just before Chen Fang came in, Jackson had already urgently discussed with the coaching staff and the team's management.
He even communicated with the boss. The middle-aged white man on the screen was the son of the owner of the Los Angeles Clippers, Jerry Buss, Jim Buss.
In the past two years, Jim Bass had been in charge of the team's scouting work.
The coaching staff, the team's management, and even the boss were skeptical of Jackson's intention to bring in Chen Fang.
This was because Chen Fang was too young. He was only 18 years old and had never played an official professional game. He was even from the Dragon Country.
They knew nothing about Chen Fang.
He couldn't sign Chen Fang just because of a friendly match with Sela Canyon High School.
But Jackson wanted to sign it.
In Chen Fang, Jackson saw O'Neal's shadow.
As for O'Neal, Jackson was very fond of him. In 2004, he lost to the pistons, the OK Group fell apart, and the Sharks swam east. This matter became a pain in Jackson's heart.
He actually did not like Kobe very much. He wanted to keep O'Neal and give him a top-salary contract.
But Jerry Buss finally made the decision to keep Kobe.
Jackson also left the team in anger.
Then, look at the 04 - 05 season. Without O'Neal, the Clippers did not even make it to the playoffs.
Perhaps he could find a reason for the injury outbreak, but Jackson felt that the biggest reason was that he had let go of O'Neal and lacked a cornerstone center forward.
The current center forward on the team was called Chris Mihm. He was a big white man who lacked offensive means and was active but inefficient in defense.
Jackson didn't think much of him, but there was no one he could use right now.
In the upcoming draft, the Laker had already set their sights on a player. It was said that the template for the big center was Chamberlain, Bynum.
However, Jackson had interacted with this kid before. Putting aside his skills, he was still young, after all. He was the youngest player in the history of the NBA draft. However, Jackson felt that this guy's IQ was worrying. He was very emotional, and he did not know when he would go crazy.
Then, Jackson discovered Chen Fang.
His physical talent was explosive, his scoring ability was strong, and his gaming quotient was not low either.
Jackson wanted to give it a try, so he decided to sign Chen Fang against all opposition. According to him, it was rebuilding anyway. It didn't matter who he chose. What if Chen Fang played?
Finally, Jackson convinced the others.
He was the head coach. In order to invite him back, the Laker team gave him a lot of power. Even if Jackson really wanted to be willful and sign a water dispenser manager, no one would say anything.
"Oh, right."
Chen Fang hesitated for a moment and told her about his illness.
Jackson frowned.
Chen Fang was actually sick. This was a situation that he did not know about.
Moreover, it was a disease that had a low fat conversion efficiency and would keep getting fatter.
However, Jackson felt that it was strange. If Chen Fang had gained weight because of his illness, then why did he still have amazing athletic ability after gaining weight?
After a quick thought, Jackson did not come to a firm conclusion.""Chen, do you have time tomorrow? I want to take you to the hospital for a detailed checkup. Under normal circumstances, we will also conduct a detailed physical examination on the selected players.”
Chen Fang nodded in agreement. Tan Wenbin had told him that a physical examination was indispensable.
Jackson stood up and smiled as he shook hands with Chen Fang. Then, he said,""There's no rush. The free agent market hasn't opened yet. We want to sign you, but we can't sign you now.”
Chen Fang came out to find Chen Tao and the other two.
"Son, how did it go?" Chen Tao asked anxiously.
Chen Fang scratched his head." Not really. He just asked me if I was willing to play for the Laker. I said yes. Then I told him that I was sick. He said that he would go for a physical examination tomorrow.”
Chen Tao waved his fist excitedly and hugged Chen Fang.
Beside him, Tan Wenbin was also extremely excited.
On the other hand, Xu Tong said somewhat worriedly,"I feel that it's a little too early to talk about the illness. Don't let this illness cause us to not be able to sign the contract in the end. Moreover, I feel that it's fine even if we don't say it.”
Tan Wenbin thought for a moment and said," It's difficult. I'm afraid that if we don't say it, they'll find out on their own. It'll be even more troublesome. It's better to take the initiative to say it. Anyway, it still depends on the condition of the body. Look at Chen Fang's body now. It should be fine."”
Chen Tao had the same thought." Forget it," he said." It's useless to think so much now. Let's wait until tomorrow after the physical examination."”
The Clippers arranged for a car to send the four of them back to the hotel.
After Tan Wenbin returned to the hotel, he immediately went into his room and continued to study the NBA signing rules.
The next day, the Laker team arranged for someone to take Chen Fang to the hospital for a physical examination.
Jackson also rushed over halfway.
The results of the examination came out very quickly.
Jackson found the doctor in charge of the examination and specifically asked Chen Fang about the condition of the disease.
The doctor was more conservative. He said that he did not get a detailed medical record of Chen Fang's illness and did not know what caused Chen Fang's defatted convertozymes to decrease.
However, judging from Chen Fang's current physical condition, there was indeed very little defatted conversin, but his physical condition was very healthy and there was no problem.
In the end, the doctor said that as long as he controlled his weight and did fitness training, he should be able to ensure that his body would not have any problems. He could play basketball.
Only then did Jackson heave a sigh of relief. He was also afraid that Chen Fang would have a physical problem if he signed him against the will of the public.
Immediately, Jackson found Chen Fang and asked if he had an agent.
Chen Fang glanced at Tan Wenbin, nodded, and pointed at Tan Wenbin.
Tan Wenbin had been running back and forth these days, and the Chen father and son had seen it.
Moreover, Tan Wenbin's professional ability was actually not bad. He was also one of the top managers in the country.
Chen Tao had also told Chen Fang in private that he might as well sign a contract with Tan Wenbin and let him become Chen Fang's manager.
" The situation is like this," Jackson said." The free agent market will only open on July 1st, after the draft is over. Then, we have to wait until July 6th before we can officially sign the contract.”
"We have to abide by this rule, so we can only reach a verbal agreement now. The specific contract will have to wait until July 1st to discuss.”
"I think this is good. There are only ten days until July 1st. It gives both of us time to think about what kind of contract to sign.”
Chen Tao immediately frowned. Would a verbal agreement work?
