Chapter 85 Sign the contract, and the Xia Lian starts.

.............

After their parents helped Lin Rui refer to the house together, the two old men thought about going home.

Lin Rui really wanted them to resign, but the two old men were unwilling to do so.

Their social circles are all in the country, and they are not familiar with the place when they come to New York, so they are not used to it.

Lin Rui could not keep him.

Li Feifei also rushed back to Los Angeles, and she lost a lot of her studies. Before transferring to New York University, she needed to make her transcript look better.

After the people around him left, Lin Rui was about to participate in the summer league.

The Knicks asked Lin Rui to go to the summer league to warm up and prepare for logging in to the NBA.

Before Lin Rui went to Las Vegas, he and Schwartz went to the Knicks' office and signed his first professional contract.

The Knicks offered Lin Rui a 22 rookie contract. According to the contract, Lin Rui received a salary of US$3.88 million in the first year and US$4.17 million in the second year. Among them, the Knicks had team options in the third year, which means that if the Knicks implemented the team options in the third year, Lin Rui would continue to stay in New York, and his salary in the third year would reach US$4.47 million.

NBA's rookie contracts all stipulate salary, which floats between 80% and 120% of the specified salary. As the No. 1 pick, Lin Rui's gift is given at 120%, which is also the Knicks' respect for Lin Rui.

Lin Rui knew that signing such a contract was not good for him, but there was no way. This is the NBA system.

Who told his seniors to be too crazy? They dared to raise sky-high prices during rookies?

The rookie of that year, Big Dog Robinson offered a price to the Bucks boss with a small goal.

The investors forced to limit the salary of the rookie in the subsequent labor and capital agreement.

When signing the contract, the Knicks management expressed support for Lin Rui, and James Dolan even said that he would use his connections to help Lin Rui's scandals and doubts to whitewash those who were suspicious.

If Lin Rui can believe it, there will be a ghost. Lin Rui really wants to tell Dolan, boss, if you can help me cleanse it, please remove the front page news that the New York Times called "Dolan a fool" first...

Obviously, the media circle in New York is very complicated and James Dolan can't control it.

Lin Rui couldn't say that directly. He said: "Boss, those public opinion and doubts will only make me stronger, which will prompt me to perform better on the field. When the season starts, I believe you can respond to those media with my performance on the field."

Hearing Lin Rui's words, James Dolan relaxed: "Good, Lin, I like your style of doing things in a down-to-earth manner."

Compared to James Dolan's various talks about the big mountains, Thomas, the Knicks coach and general manager, told Lin Rui about the summer league: "Lin, the summer league should not have too many problems for you. Be careful not to get hurt. Some people who have lost drafts and marginalized may find a sense of existence in you."

"Ok, I'll pay attention."

There are many players who want to join the NBA every year, from various leagues around the world, as well as the undrafts in the United States, or those who are eliminated by the NBA themselves.

They will all choose to look for opportunities in the summer league.

Lin Rui is the No. 1 pick in the NBA this year. He has a lot of attention and flash around him. There will definitely be no fewer players who want to step on him or take advantage of his popularity.

This society is very realistic. These players will want NBA contracts, money, and become famous!

Lin Rui will obviously be their hunting target.

Suppress Lin Rui during the game, this is the shortcut!

"In addition, Kevin Durant, Al Horford, Greg Oden and others also participated in the Summer League, and this year's Summer League should be very lively."

"Well, I can win them in the college field and win them in the summer league." Lin Rui said.

If these people come too, this summer league will be even more interesting.

The Summer League in Las Vegas is a summer league that people often see on TV, and their broadcasts are more intense.

The rules of the summer league are to first conduct qualifiers, score points, and then perform a single-game knockout match, and finally determine the title.

This competition system is similar to March Crazy.

However, the overall schedule of the summer league is very intensive, and basically every day the game is arranged, usually within 10 days, all the games will be finished.

The purpose of the summer league is to set up rookies to adapt to professional stadiums, and then select some marginal players to supplement NBA teams.

Many players who have not obtained the NBA contract will come here to try their opportunities.

July 8.

Lin Rui came to Las Vegas accompanied by bodyguards.

Lin Rui is now a rich man worth over 10 million yuan. Although he himself has martial arts, Lin Rui is more willing to hire a bodyguard to protect his safety.

Free America, shooting every day is not a joke.

The bodyguard's tonnage is large enough to at least block bullets!

Knicks' offensive coach Greer is the interim coach of the Summer United team.

In addition to Lin Rui's No. 1 pick, there are also players with fixed contracts such as Nate Robinson, Marty Collins, Quentin Richardson, etc., while the other 6 players are from other leagues.

The lineup sent by the Knicks this year is quite strong. Neither Nate Robinson nor Quentin Richardson are new players. With Lin Rui, the Knicks have a high call for winning the championship.

When Lin Rui came to the locker room of this temporary team, the overall atmosphere was not very good.

Players with guaranteed contracts and players without contracts are automatically divided into two factions.

Richardson and Nate Robinson welcomed Lin Rui's arrival on behalf of the team.

The two of them are just being polite.

They also want to see what Lin Rui's foundation is. It will always be a bit difficult to let them play around Lin Rui before they prove themselves in the NBA.

Some players who did not have contracts also greeted Lin Rui enthusiastically.

This other player knows that Lin Rui's status in the Knicks will be very high. If he can maintain a good relationship with Lin Rui, he might have the opportunity to get a contract.

Of course, this is only a small number of players welcomed Lin Rui, and most of them are still full of jealousy and suspicion of Lin Rui.

Lin Rui knew that this would be the case, and it was difficult for him to expect these low-educated players who had not been influenced by Confucianism to hide their inner desires in their hearts.

Being good at concealing one's emotions is the Chinese people's specialty.

Lin Rui has a high status in this team. You can see that the trainer and team doctor are around Lin Rui after he arrives.

Lin Rui nodded to the players who greeted him, and then found his wardrobe and sat down.

As the No. 1 pick, Lin Rui has something to be proud of. His status is achieved by his achievements in the university arena. There is no need for someone who has bad intentions to look good about this.

This is the reality. The stronger you are, the more resources you enjoy, and more and more people are willing to revolve around you.

And the weaker you are, the more you can only become one of the audiences you envy and powerful!!

After a while, Nate Robinson, who was more active in the team, said in the middle of the locker room: "Guys, do you know that our opponent in the first game was the Supersonics. They have Kevin Durant on their team, and he is the second pick. If you kill him, you will have a chance to get the contract."

When Nate Robinson talked about the second pick, he looked at Lin Rui specifically.

Richardson said: "Of course, we will win this game because we have the first pick in Lin Zai!"
