"Hello. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Hello."

Cai Nan smiled professionally, reached out and shook Yang Di's hand, then made a gesture to sit down, and the two sat down together.

"Mr. Yang, I've been dating you for a long time, and today I finally met the main one."

Yang Di smiled: "I'm just a little player who is not famous, it's hard for you to keep contacting and interviewing me." ”

"You're not famous at all, maybe in the United States, more fans are looking at the rookies with high picks, and more Chinese Americans are looking at Yao Ming, or Wang Zhizhi who is helping the Clippers play summer league or Battle who is helping the Spurs play summer league, but in China, the fans who like you are growing at an alarming rate." Cai Nan said seriously, obviously disagreeing with Yang Di's view that he was not famous.

"Call me Yang Di or call me Dick Yang, Mr. Yang feels weird."

"Hahaha." Cai Nan laughed loudly, he suddenly remembered that the young man in front of him had actually just passed his 19th birthday, and it seemed inappropriate to call him sir, "Is Dick Young your nickname?" ”

"yes, I'm in the United States, and that's what they call me, which sounds pretty cool."

Cai Nan forced a smile, this nickname is cool, but it seems to be a little dirty, if it is not a pronunciation problem, I hope he thinks too much.

"Where are you from?"

"Me? I'm from N City. ”

"N City, that can be regarded as a person from Jiangbei, I am from the north, I have been to your city once, it is very clean."

Yang Di said: "But I haven't been to the city a few times, I grew up in the countryside. ”

Cai Nan took out his interview book very professionally, quickly recorded it with a pen, and asked, "Then have you started playing basketball since you were a child?" ”

"Well, it's okay, I got into basketball when I was in elementary school."

"You're so tall that you didn't go to a sports school?"

Yang Di said with a wry smile: "Sports school, you must have entered, when I graduated from junior high school, I went to study in a sports school, and a relative said at that time that it was very good to come out and be a physical education teacher." ”

Cai Nan asked: "Then why did you come to the United States later?" According to normal logic, it shouldn't. ”

"Well, this ......" Yang Di hesitated a little, not knowing how to answer.

"Is there anything inconvenient?"

Yang Di thought about it for a while, and then said, "Actually, there is nothing inconvenient. At that time, when I was in the sports school, I didn't deal well with one of my classmates, and then I had a conflict, so I beat that classmate, and then I was expelled from school. ”

Cai Nan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Hahahaha, so you were expelled from the sports school?" ”

"yes, it's embarrassing."

"It's not embarrassing, the embarrassing thing now is to expel your sports school, you are now a quasi-NBA player, you will definitely enter the NBA in the future, and even have a chance to be selected for the national team, and if you are expelled for fighting, your school will definitely be criticized." Cai Nan said with a smile.

Yang Di waved his hand: "I don't want them to criticize or not, it's just that the relative of the kid who was very unfortunate at the time was the school leader, so he was expelled. ”

"So that's the case," Cai Nan nodded, thoughtful, and then continued to ask: "Then how did you come to the United States later?" ”

"Later, it wasn't that the conditions in my family were not good, I also faced the problem of coming out of school to find a job, and a relative introduced me to work in a multinational construction company, and I came to the United States all of a sudden."

After Yang Di's conversation box was opened, he suddenly recalled the lonely situation when he first came to the United States, and he was unfamiliar with the place: "It's really hard to explain. ”

The sunlight outside the window shines through the glass, and the aroma of strong coffee fills the room.

……

In the afternoon, the streets are crowded with pedestrians, and it is the peak tourist season, and tourists from all over the world come to the city of Orlando.

Yang Di said goodbye to Cai Nan, walked alone on the street, came to the city's central park, and then found a clean place to sit on the lawn under the tree, leaning his back on the stem, and the leaves danced in the slight wind.

Yang Di thought about things quietly.

Daily training is still a way to improve their attributes and abilities, and the game is a way for them to steadily obtain villain values, after entering the NBA, the training will definitely be more scientific, and it will definitely be easier to complete the requirements specified in the training than before practicing by yourself, the only question is, how to ensure your playing time.

After all, he is not a rookie with a high pick, and if he wants to get stable playing time, he must first get the head coach.

But I didn't expect that when I first came to the team, the head coach was changed, Stan Van Gundy, I don't know what kind of personality this coach is, what kind of preferences he is.

Odom, Brian Grant and Haslem, who just came to the team like him, now have several people at the power forward position, and counting the 48 minutes of a game in one position, the competitive pressure is simply too high.

And the most important thing is that the first two don't say, Haslem has places where Yang Di can't compare, Yang Di puts himself in his shoes, if he is the head coach, he would definitely prefer to use Haslem at present.

"Hey, that's a nuisance."

……

Summer league was going on at a fast pace, and in the days when the internet was not very developed, fans could only get advice through traditional media such as newspapers.

There are 10 teams competing in the Summer League in Orlando, with the other team competing in the Summer League in Las Vegas.

The Summer League is not an official organization, and the tournament is largely over in late July.

In one of the games, Yang Di met the Cavaliers led by the new champion James.

Wade worked hard in this game, bombarding the Cavaliers, in his physical condition, his breakthrough was no one could prevent it at all, and James was equally terrifying, many crushing breakthroughs to the penalty area, carrying the defenders to score the ball, Yang Di wanted to make up for the defense is very difficult.

Yang Di was frightened by the terrifying talents of these two people, and the physical fitness talents of these two people were at least S-level.

It's a pity that the assistant coach didn't give the two more time, and more time to play time for players like Yang Di and Haslem who have the opportunity to enter the NBA and also need to perform on the court.

Yang Di found that Haslem was silent, he was really willing to do any job on the court, the concentration of the game was extremely high, and he even stiffened James several balls head-on, really thinking that he was an iron man, from this point of view, he and Yang Di are the same kind of people, which made Yang Di can't help but feel good, even if it is a competitor, it is also a respectable opponent, isn't it?

At the end of the summer league, Pat Riley found Wade and Young.

According to the order of the rookie contract, the Heat gave Wade a 4-year rookie contract of $12.3439 million, of which the two years before and after are team options, that is, the legendary 2+1+1, and gave Yang Di a standard second-round pick contract of 2 years and $990,000, including $370,000 in the first year, $620,000 in the second year, and a team option in the second year.

Yang Di frowned, signed the contract, and ignored the agent's excited shouting.

What he knows is that in the current NBA, the second-round shows are basically at this price, and this contract is stipulated by the NBA, in other words, no matter which agent comes, he will not get a lower price for Yang Di.

He thought about it again, and if 990,000 US dollars was converted into RMB, it would be about nearly 8 million, and in an instant, his heart became hot again, putting aside the trace of hidden ambition that he had not even discovered himself, and was getting bigger and bigger.

A few days later, the Heat signed free agents Ralph Alston and Udonis Haslem in addition to announcing the signing of two draft picks.

Among them, Ralph Alston has a base salary of 690,000 yuan a year, and Haslem has the same contract as Jandy, the same 2 years and 990,000 US dollars, with a team option for the second year.
