Sunan City.
Li Tianshu, who had stayed up all night playing Legend of Mir 2, was still sleeping soundly when his mother woke him up to say that there was a call.
She picked up the phone as if she was sleepwalking. Just as she said hello, Gao Jianjun's crazy high-pitched voice came from the other end."Li Tianshu, he really signed it! That's awesome! Chen Fang really signed it! He went to the NBA, and it's even the Laker!”
Li Tianshu's hand trembled, and the receiver fell to the ground. He suddenly woke up and quickly picked up the receiver."What did you just say?"
Gao Jianjun was still very excited. He said,"Chen Fang, Chen Fang, this kid really signed a contract and stayed in the NBA. However, it wasn't the Clippers, but the Lakers.”
"Li Tianshu, did you know that this guy is rich? The Los Angeles Clippers signed him for $14 million for four years. That's $3.5 million a year. At a one-to-seven exchange rate, that's more than $20 million.”
Li Tianshu was also stunned. The next moment, he was so excited that he jumped up and down.
"F * ck, the Laker. Doesn't that mean I can watch Chen Fang play on TV in the future? F * ck, this kid is too awesome.”
"More than 20 million a year. Damn it, when is he going back to China? He has to treat me to KFC. Let him treat me to KFC, the kind that makes me vomit.”
"Right, this way, we'll become current NBA players and former teammates.”
The two of them were so excited that they were even happier than when they signed the contract.
Team Su Nan.
Hu Weidong drove to the team and met the assistant manager on the way.
"Old Hu, have you heard? There's a high school student in our country, Chen Fang, who signed with the Los Angeles Clippers for 3.5 million dollars a year.”the assistant manager said excitedly.
"Old Tang, don't say anymore. My heart hurts whenever you mention Chen Fang's name." Hu Weidong sighed.”
In fact, last night, Hu Weidong found out about Chen Fang's contract with the Laker.
The signing ceremony in the United States ended at 10 am. It was nighttime in China, so the news came back overnight. The entire basketball circle was in an uproar. Hu Weidong had already heard about this news from his friends in the media.
"If I had known that he could play in the NBA, I would have signed him before he went to America.”
Hu Weidong was so regretful that his intestines turned green.
They knew that Chen Fang was awesome, but they did not expect him to be so awesome.
If he had known this would happen, he would have spent money to sign Chen Fang.
Hu Weidong even cursed at NAC. What the hell? They even held an American championship. Now, they let Chen Fang go.
If they could sign Chen Fang, this year's championship would definitely be secured.
At the same time, the entire Dragon Country basketball circle was in an uproar.
After three years, another player successfully made it to the NBA.
The key was still a high school student. He was unknown and had never even played professional basketball before. It was as if he had jumped out of the crack of a rock.
A few years ago, when Yao Ming signed up for the NBA draft, it was so popular that Central TV even made an exception to broadcast the draft live.
And now, another person had entered the NBA. This was such big news that the entire news industry was in an uproar.
Those with connections had already booked plane tickets to America.
Those without channels had already made their way to Sunan City.
All the media outlets were trying their best to gather information related to Chen Fang.
The sports channel immediately organized a special reporting team to report on Chen Fang in America.
At the same time, he also asked the American reporter, Zhang Yang, to interview Chen Fang no matter what and get a first-hand report.
Compared to the uproar in the Dragon Country, there was also an uproar in the United States.
The draft had just ended, and the free market had begun. There were no big fish in the free agent market this year, but there were still All-Star players like Michael Reid and Ray Allen. They were quite popular.
This was especially true for a star team like the Clippers. Their attention was at the level of the entire US.
After the decadence of last season, the Bass family had found their champion coach, Jackson, this season. Many media outlets wanted to see how Jackson, who had regained his position, was going to operate and if he was planning to make a shocking deal. Who would have thought that the Los Angeles Clippers would actually sign a high school student?
Most importantly, it was a sky-high price.
The mainstream media was still in a state of shock, but the local media in Los Angeles was going crazy.
This was especially true for the fans of the Laker team. After letting go of Shaq and experiencing the painful 04 - 05 season, many fans were extremely disappointed with the Bass family. Fortunately, the Bass family brought back Phil Jackson this year, giving the Laker fans hope.
However, who would have thought that the Los Angeles Clippers would make another move and spend a lot of money to sign Chen Fang, a young boy who had never been heard of before.
Many of the impatient fans even ran to the Staples Center to hurl abuse.
The local media was even more critical. They scolded Kupchak, Jackson, and the Bass family, saying that they were messing around.
There were also many reporters who went to interview the players of the Laker team.
Kobe, in particular, was exposed by the media on the second day of signing the contract. Kobe, who was undergoing individual training, was interviewed by the media. He talked about Chen Fang's signing and expressed his confusion about the team's operation.
The reporters interpreted the interview as Kobe criticizing the team for signing the wrong player.
Kupchak had expected such opposition and doubts.
To this end, Kupchak had already asked the news department to prepare a series of countermeasures.
First, Chen Fang was restricted from accepting media interviews.
At the end of the signing ceremony, many reporters wanted to interview Chen Fang, but they were all stopped by the Laker.
Chen Fang didn't mind. Since he had signed the contract, he had to cooperate with the Los Angeles Clippers. He couldn't just accept interviews.
Secondly, Kupchak began to exert his strength after the situation had fermented.
First, he released a portion of Chen Fang's physical test report in response to those reports that questioned Chen Fang's weight and that he could not compete at all.
Once this part of the physical test report was out, the doubts were really reduced.
This was because Chen Fang's physical fitness was very good and his athletic ability was very strong.
After that, the Laker team held a special event on their official website to welcome Chen Fang's signing. They would draw lucky fans from the fans and give Chen Fang the number 14 jersey.
There was a promotional video, which was a highlight clip of Chen Fang's friendly match with Sela Canyon High School.
Finally, he added the scene of Chen Fang smashing the rebound.
The Los Angeles team even gave Chen Fang a nickname, Monster, to promote the arrival of a monster.
Coupled with the scene of Chen Fang smashing the rebound, it really gave people an indescribable impact.
This video quickly spread throughout the entire US and attracted a lot of attention.
After all, they didn't know how to play, but to be able to smash the rebound was not something an ordinary person could do.
Many of the fans of the Los Angeles Lakers saw Chen Fang smash the rebound and suddenly felt like O'Neal had returned.
