Chapter 22 Big Mouth Barkley
If you want to buy a luxury car, Wang Dapao first needs a good contract.
After playing Jazz, Wang Dapao's outstanding performance had already told the Heat's uniform team that what he needed was not a 10-day short contract, but a more stable and excellent contract.
The Heat can only choose to provide another contract after the 10-day contract is completed, but in doing so, they will have to take the risk of Wang Dapao running to other teams halfway.
The Heat could not afford this risk, so early the next morning, Wang Dapao was invited to Pat Riley's general manager's office. At the same time, a contract was already in front of Wang Dapao.
"Nine million in five years?" Looking at the contract in front of him, Wang Dapao frowned immediately. Looking at Pat Riley, who was like an old fox, Wang Dapao said with some dissatisfaction: "I said General Manager, you are a little unkind. Am I worth more than one million a year?"
Riley smiled and said, "After you finished the game yesterday, I had a night meeting with the uniform team. Your rebounding and defensive ability are indeed very good, but your weaknesses are also obvious. First of all, your height is insufficient, and you will definitely suffer when defending the big guy inside."
Wang Dapao curled his lips. Height is indeed his weakness. After all, facing many players who are much taller than him, he has to jump up to defend himself. If the opponent uses fake moves, he has already jumped up and cannot defend again.
"Secondly, your offensive ability is too weak, far below the NBA standard. If you can't score on the court, you can't share the pressure of the team's offensive firepower." Riley shook his head, "So your value is far less than you thought. One million dollars is already good."
"Damn!" Wang Dapao knew very well that this was just suppressing his own price, but what he said was really reasonable, and Wang Dapao could not refute it. "I won't sign this contract!"
This is simply and concise, which fully reflects Wang Dapao's rogue temperament. "I don't care about anything else. This contract is too bad. If I don't change one, I will go to another team to play!"
Pat Riley was not in a hurry, smiled slightly, and said lightly: "So Mr. Wang Dapao, what kind of contract do you want?"
"This...well." Wang Dapao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that he really had no awareness of this aspect.
It's obviously impossible. Not to mention 10 million, even the Heat can't afford an annual salary of 5 million. No one in the Big Three's salary is 14 million. It's not a joke.
"Two million!" Wang Dapao thought about it carefully and offered a price he could accept, "but I only signed a one-year contract."
"One year?" Pat Riley immediately understood Wang Dapao's idea when he heard this. This fat man wanted to get excellent data this season and find a bigger contract next season.
"Nine million in three years! What do you think of this price?" Pat Riley carefully calculated the potential that Wang Dapao currently has, and gritted his teeth and said the maximum price that the team can afford at present. It's nothing more than one or two million. What Pat Riley cares about is the length of Wang Dapao's contract, which is not enough for just one year!
"Just one year!" Wang Dapao knew very well that his ability to defend the full value was absolutely worth more than five million, and even if he did not have offensive ability, he was worth more than five million. It was a waste to be trapped in Miami.
Wang Dapao is the kind of person who is determined to be a lie and never let go. No matter Pat Riley is irresponsible, Wang Dapao gritted his teeth and bit the contract for one year.
The final result is of course that the scholar was inexplicably reasonable when he met a soldier. Riley had no choice but to draw up another one-year contract worth 1.8 million.
After signing the contract, Wang Dapao looked very happy. He shook hands with Riley eagerly and said with a smile: "Happy cooperation."
Riley smiled bitterly, "What a pleasure, I guess you will run to another team in a year."
However, this is a common problem in the NBA. Not only did it happen to Wang Dapao alone, Pat Riley, an old man who has been in the NBA for decades, naturally knew this principle and did not worry about it for too long.
In this way, Wang Dapao finally finalized his first official contract on his NBA career path, a contract with an annual salary of 1.8 million yuan for one year.
The news that Wang Dapao completed the contract renewal was immediately posted on the Heat's official website, which immediately aroused heated discussions among many Heat fans.
Many people see Wang Dapao's outstanding performance when the Heat vs. the Jazz. His rebounding dominance in the inside and his strict defense against Jefferson made many people see Xiwang who is tough in the Heat.
With Wang Dapao! The Heat will have no weaknesses! The 11-year championship is the Heat!
Many fans have already shouted out the Heat's declaration of winning the championship.
Of course, there are many people who can win everything, and there are many people who have Black King Dapao. As a player who only plays once, Wang Dapao's data is obviously not convincing. Many people speculate that Wang Dapao was just a flash of inspiration, and soon he will be buried in the sea of NBA players, like Yi Jianlian in 2007, gradually being forgotten by people.
The most solid advocate of this statement is TNT's gold medal basketball commentator, Sir Charles Barkley, known as the Flying Pig.
"A fat man who is only 2 meters tall controls the inside line?" When Barkley heard about Wang Dapao's deeds, he couldn't stop smiling. "Brother, I thought you were talking about what happened when I was young."
Barkley is an interesting person. He is only 1.98 meters tall, but he is a real inside player with an average of 20+10 games in his career. He is also the only player who is less than two meters tall but scores 20,000 points and 10,000 rebounds.
Barkley entered the NBA the same year as Jordan. His fame is not inferior to Jordan, but he tragically never won a championship ring. After retiring, he chose to join TNT TV and became an NBA basketball commentator.
Barkley, who was arrogant by nature, became the first person to mock and provoke the provocation. He dared to say anything and did anything. What Chinese fans remember most may be the bet he and Kenny Smith had about Yao Ming.
As long as Yao Ming can score more than 19 points, he will kiss Smith's butt.
As a result, Barkley kissed the donkey's butt before live TV around the world as a replacement for Smith.
After being taught, Barkley has never stopped his path of squirting. He squirted this and that every few days. Today he said that Kobe is far inferior to Jordan, and tomorrow he said that James is not as good as Kobe. Now, when he heard about Wang Dapao today, Buckley started again.
"The only one who can dominate the basket is Sir Barkley, who is Wang Dapao? I have never heard of it before! Why is he just 2 meters tall to play inside? He thinks he is me?" Barkley seemed very disdainful of Wang Dapao in an interview. "Listen, man, the reason why Wang Dapao was able to grab so many rebounds in the last game was entirely because the Jazz's inside line was too weak. If it were other teams, he couldn't even grab a rebound!"
Barkley's remarks were immediately posted by reporters in the media. The reporters who were afraid that the world would not be in chaos would be more and more chaotic, so that there would be more news they could report.
In this way, Barkley's remarks came to Wang Dapao's ears.
When he heard this news, Wang Dapao was preparing for the upcoming game, Heat vs. Warriors.
When he heard this, he was stunned.
"Damn! I got him to provoke him, and he actually hacked me?" Wang Dapao thought for a moment of depression. He had never provoked this Barkley before.
Looking at the reporter who looked eager for what he said, Wang Dapao knew that this girl would definitely stimulate him to say something awesome to fight back.
Any normal person would choose to smile and bring it over vaguely.
But who is Wang Dapao? He went back to do such a loss?
"I want to tell Barkley, please be careful when he speaks. Not every time he can kiss the donkey's butt, right?" Wang Dapao smiled at the reporter and pointed at his camera. "I personally think that experience is enough for a person to experience it again in his life. I don't think Barkley wants to experience it again, right?"
The reporter interviewing Wang Dapao was so excited that he was almost fainted.
News! Big news!
The Heat rookie provoked Buckley's big mouth and even said he wanted Buckley to kiss the donkey's butt again!
Comrades reporters can already imagine what kind of sensation they will cause when they interview the media.
Wang Dapao had nodded to this extremely excited reporter at this time.
The media can create momentum for people, but what really makes a person famous is the hard power he has. As long as Wang Dapao performed well in the game, he doesn’t have to worry about other things at all.
Today the Heat are playing against the Golden State Warriors, a running and bombing team.
The Warriors' leading stars are Golden State Double Guns, Monta Ellis and Stephen Curry. The two double guards have extremely strong offensive firepower, and they may be killed if they are not careful.
In addition to these two people, there is another player that has to be taken seriously. He is the Warriors' power forward. Someone gave David Lee, who is nicknamed the Little Prince of Data, and is a double-double king. Although he is not particularly tall, his rebounding ability is outstanding, which is much better than Al Jefferson and Millsap.
He is Wang Dapao's opponent today.
