PS：!!!!!!!
After the game, Paul Allan ran down from the box at Key Stadium in high spirits. She ran to Zhang Long, who was being interviewed by BB.C.
"Zhang! You're really amazing! The super data of 63 11 13 5 7 in the Western Conference playoffs!”
"I was sitting on it just now, and it felt so good!”Paul Allen was as excited as a child as he slapped Zhang Long's skin.
The BBC reporter saw Paul Allen. He suddenly thought of a topic.
"Hello, respected Mr. Allen. According to our understanding, Zhang's contract ends this summer. Are you not prepared to renew your contract with him?”
"Now the heat. Los Angeles. Digital Man. The Celtics wanted to be on the free market. Sign Zhang, this big fish."
"F * ck! Who told you that I'm not going to renew my contract with Zhang?”
Paul Allen's face instantly changed as he cursed. A sense of crisis rose in his heart." I can tell the Blazers fans that I'm not afraid of spending money. I tried my best to make Zhang stay.”
"I will give Zhang a big contract. An unexpectedly big contract!"
"Is that so? How could he reveal the exact amount of the contract?”The BBC reporter's eyes lit up and he quickly handed the microphone over.
Paul Allen thought for a moment. In order to prevent the Laker from thinking about it, he wanted to prevent any more trouble. Give Zhang Long an extra 10 million dollars.
"I've decided to renew my contract with Zhang in advance for seven years and 150 million dollars. He was the hope of the Blazers. He was the future of Orlando.”
Paul Allen said some shocking words. The reporters from BBC and ESPM were stunned.
"Old Bath, don't even think about getting it from me. Snatch Zhang!" Paul Allen faced the camera and provoked Old Bath.
"You can't afford this sky-high salary contract.”
A reporter from the Colombia Broadcasting Company quickly stood up and asked,""Paul. After all, the free agent market hadn't opened yet. You have to wait until July 11th."
"What I said just now was to renew the contract in advance!”Paul Allen looked displeased as he looked at the reporter in front of him.
"According to the contract, Zhang! It was only a one-year contract. Including the regular season and playoffs. The playoffs aren't over yet."
"In other words, Zhang. He was not a free agent now. He was still a Blazers player.”
"According to the NBA rules, the parent team has the right to renew the contract with any player in advance! "You don't have to wait for the free market to open," Paul Allen said with a witty remark, his voice raised by eight decibels.
Originally, Zhang Long's perfect performance today had been the best. An all-rounded performance in both offense and defense. Paul Allan, who had come to watch the away game, was completely excited. His blood boiled.
Such a person could make it to the Western Conference finals. The Chinese defender, who scored 63 points, proved that he was the perfect cornerstone of the team.
You even said that he was a future superstar. Paul Allen also believed it because this was the Western Conference finals.
The opponent was still the number one team in the Western Conference, the strong team, the Sonic. The Sounders were led by Glove Payton and Rainier Kemp.
This news was broadcast live on BBC, Colombia, and ESPM. The news instantly spread to Los Angeles, the City of Angels.
"F * ck!"
The City of Angels was the second largest city in America.
In the mansion of the Bass family in the Beverly Hills. Old Bath looked at Paul Allen on the television and angrily smashed the goblet to the ground.
Scarlet liquid and glass fragments scattered all over the ground.
"Jerry West. Give up!"
"Paul, that old guy, 150 million dollars for seven years. Renew the contract in advance."
"I remember that you have a second plan.”Buss picked up the phone and called the general manager of the Los Angeles Clippers, Jerry West.
West was silent for a moment. It was such a pity that Zhang was such an all-around superstar. He should be wearing the Purple Gold Army's battle robe."
"Heaven Hook. They should have belonged to the Violet Gold Army, but now they were their opponents.”
"Boss. If there was a chance in the future, could he poach her?”Jerry West hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively.
"Let's take a look. This is 150 million dollars. It's not a small amount."
"And even if it's seven years later, Zhang will only be 25 years old.”
"What's the salary cap after seven years? Would it soar? No one knows."
Old Baz considered seriously,"If at that time, Zhang's data…" strength. His ability to lead the team did not decline. I'm willing to offer a 100 million yuan contract.”
This news shocked the entire NBA.
28 teams, more than half of them. They were amazed by Paul Allen's amazing song!
At the same time, this piece of news also went viral. The entire Western media knew that there was a Chinese athlete in the NBA who received 150 million dollars for seven years.
"China's draft pick received a seven-year contract of 150 million US dollars!”
"I didn't know NBA players could earn money like this!”
"Unheard of! Paul Allen's shocking move!"
"150 million dollars = Zhang Long."
All the major media outlets around the world reported on this matter.
The NBA wasn't just about business, it was also about fame!
As long as you had the ability, you could produce astonishing numbers. He would be able to gain fame and attract the attention of the brand.
．．．．．．
That night, Paul Allen accompanied Zhang Long to attend the post-match press conference.
"That's right. You're very interested in someone who can make it to the Western Conference finals. A player who could score 63 points, 11 assists, and 13 rebounding over the heads of two players.”
"That's definitely a superstar bestowed by the heavens to Orlando!”
"Glider Drexler? Could he? He can't!"
" To the fans of the Blazers, I hope you will all come to Rose Garden next season…"
Paul Allen sat in the middle and completely dominated the press conference. He talked loudly with a smug look.
Alright, the reporters below. They all took off the shutter and found the news material for tomorrow.
Zhang Long sat at the side and picked up the Gatorade on the counter. While sucking.
"Excuse me, Zhang."
"Up until now, you haven't had a single endorsement. What is the reason?" A reporter from the Los Angeles Daily suddenly spoke.
"Yes, I am. This was because I had to focus on training. Prepare for the next match."
"You have to know the intensity of the playoffs. It's unparalleled."
Zhang Long thought to himself, so he might as well ask his aunt, Zhang Qing. To be his manager.
Relatives were the most reassuring, and the two of them were close relatives. They were also related by blood.
That night, he returned to the team's hotel. Paul Allen rushed to the hotel with his lawyer and bodyguards.
"Zhang. This is an early contract. You can find a lawyer. After reading it, sign it."
Paul Allen handed Zhang Long an early contract extension.
"Thank you, boss."
Zhang Long nodded and flipped to the last page. 150，000，000$
"Boss. You also know that my family background isn't good. Parents died of illness."
"Can you let me receive 50% of next year's salary in advance?”Zhang Long put down the contract and looked at Paul Allen. Make a bold request
"Alright, sure. No problem."
"You only have an annual salary of 100,000 dollars this year.”
"How about this, you sign the contract. I immediately called the team's management. I'll give you 7 million dollars in advance.”
Paul Allen agreed readily.
Zhang Long's eyes lit up as he quickly took out his backpack. He found a pen and signed the contract.
The reality was that big cities like Los Angeles and New York were attractive, and all kinds of big names were willing to gather there. However, because of its location in the northwest, the city was small, and it could not attract superstars. Other than nurturing it himself.
Therefore, Paul Allen was very willing to gamble.
If he couldn't satisfy Zhang Long, it was very likely that he would become a free agent next season and be poached by the Laker.
"Boss. Next season is the year of the draft. I want to participate in the team's draft. Trading."
After Zhang Long signed the big contract, his heart finally settled down. Thinking of the golden generation of the 96's, he felt that he had to stand up.
"Hmm? What's your plan?" Paul Allen was a little different.
"To be honest, I'm a player. I know the strength of my current teammates. At most, they will be in the semifinals of the playoffs every year.”
Zhang Long said tactfully,""Moreover, they are no longer young. Most of them were already over thirty years old.”
"How about this, Zhang. You're still young, and you know basketball.”
"You can participate in the draft of the team's management. I'll get the general manager, Bob, to cooperate with you.”Paul Allen thought about it carefully and agreed to Zhang Long's request.
He didn't know much about the basketball draft, but Zhang Long was a player. They would definitely understand that those young players had potential.
As a bold big shot, he knew how to handle professional matters. For professionals.
Let's put it this way. Those with an annual federal tax income of more than 430,000 US dollars had to pay a federal tax of 39.6%.
The tax policies of each state were also different. The tax rate ranged from 0 to 13.3%.
The portland trailblazers belonged to the oregonian state. There was no need to pay state taxes.
In other words, 150 million dollars was before tax. The real money he got was only about 60%.
90 million dollars.
Therefore, Zhang Long also knew about this. That was why they had no choice but to play for other teams.
If it was other states, they would have to pay a 12% state tax. It was equivalent to paying 52% of the tax, which was more than 7 million dollars less.
The money was returned to the country. He could buy five high-end villas.
