The Strongest Life Reborn - Chapter 2204
Chapter 2192 Recruit Batman! (Second more)
University of Central Arkansas, Arkansas.
The weather at the end of May was already quite hot.
After a season of NCAA games, the University of Central Arkansas basketball team has long been disbanded, and everyone is waiting to play well after the summer vacation.
Only a tall, strong young man still comes to the school’s basketball hall to practice after school every day.
He is called Scottie Pippen.
Pippen was a junior this year, not yet 21 years old, but he is already a famous small forward in the school.
In the entire NCAA league, he also belongs to the top ten stars.
NCAA is not the abbreviation of the North American College Basketball League that we all understand. It is actually the abbreviation of the North American College Sports League. It also includes football, baseball, ice hockey and other sports.
This is definitely a basketball league.
The University of Central Arkansas is not a traditional strong team, so even if Pippen is an excellent small forward who has averaged 20 points and 8 rebounds per game, he still has no way to break out.
Their best result is the top 16 this year.
Scottie Pippen was not reconciled. He wanted to take his team one step further, at least in the quarterfinals. This is a good thing for all teammates who want to play basketball.
After all, the NBA draft depends on their performance.
It is a pity that teammates will only train when it is time to train, and it does not mean to actively train.
And their talent is not good, Pippen has received very little support in the team, and each game is basically driven by his personal ability to make difficult progress.
Thinking of the outstanding new stars that appeared this year, as well as several more powerful old opponents, Pippen was a bit discouraged. I did n’t know what his last year ’s college league could be like.
When he graduates next year, it is his draft year. What kind of result can he have?
Was it selected by the Los Angeles Lakers, or by the Celtics, or by the New York Unicorns, who have been in disarray in the last two years?
In all fairness, Pippen felt he still wanted to be selected by the New York Unicorns.
Because the New York Unicorns are all young people, they will have a passion for playing well when they are about the age. Pippen really loves basketball, and of course hopes to meet a group of like-minded people.
Another reason is that Pippen admires Jordan very much.
Three years ago, when Jordan led North Carolina to win the NCAA championship, he happened to be a year and belonged to the unnamed role of shining shoes and carrying bags for the old players.
On the bench, I saw Jordan killing the Quartet. Pippen was envious and admired to the extreme.
He thought at that time that if he improved his skills in the future, he would go to Jordan and play with him.
Pippen is a small forward, Jordan is a shooting guard, the two positions are different, but also very complementary.
The last reason is the salary of the New York Unicorns.
Their salary is among the top three in the league.
Although it may not seem as high as the Los Angeles Lakers and Celtics on the surface, the salary of those superstars is definitely not comparable to the rookies who have played for two years.
However, if you look at the stars of the same age, the young stars of the New York Unicorns will get a salary that far exceeds the peers of other teams.
Pippen had been poor since he was a child, and he was able to get the best treatment for the first time. He was paid hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, of course, he was desperate.
But Pippen now understands that the odds of being able to go to the New York Unicorns are not great.
If he maintains his current status, he is definitely among the top ten in the league draft.
The New York Unicorns are so good that the top ten draft picks are not theirs. As for whether they have the strength to make them pay the price in exchange for their draft picks, Pippen doesn’t have any grasp.
Because their small forward is Bernard King, the top five super player in the league, and he is still playing.
A small forward who doesn’t have any honors, can he replace Bernard King there?
Moreover, to put it another way, do you want to be a substitute for three or five years before you start?
My current age, but my golden age, is 26 to 67 years old after three or five years of substitution. Players who have not improved during this period will have their remaining careers abolished!
As a Pippen with great career ambitions, of course, he is not allowed to do this.
Of course, no matter how tangled in the heart, Pippen’s daily practice is still the same.
He knows that ideals are important, but what is more important is his own strength. With strength, there are others, otherwise you want to be a fart?
Today he is contacting fixed-point shooting. He has practiced 500 shots from all angles, and the sweat has fallen like raindrops.
Suddenly, he saw a middle-aged man walking in the distance.
When the middle-aged man approached, Pippen’s eyes widened, and he had a decent shot in his hand that actually missed the basket.
What do you mean?
How does the General Manager of the New York Unicorns Nowitzki appear here?
Pippen looked at Nowitzki and shook his head, again confirming that he was hallucinating.
“Hey, lad!” Nowitzki stood beside the court and smiled, “Are you tired? Let’s take a break if we are tired, shall we talk to me?”
“Oh, okay, okay!” Pippen touched his head with a smirk, and asked Nowitzki to sit on the rest chair next to it.
“I watched many of your games. You played very well this year and improved a lot compared to last year.” Nowitzki looked at him. “Do you have 6.6 feet now?”
“Almost.” Pippen said.
6.6 feet is 2 meters up and down. Pippen is now 2.03 meters, which is 20 centimeters longer than the 181 centimeters he just entered school.
“This height is good for playing small forwards,” Nowitzki said. “Do you have any plans now?”
“Of course it will be a good team when we participate in the draft next year.” Pippen now has a vague guess in his heart and he has not concealed his thoughts.
“Then do you think our New York Unicorns are a good team?” Nowitzki smiled.
“Of course!” Pippen said without hesitation. “I watched all the games and highlights of the New York Unicorns this year. What you are missing is accumulated experience, and continuous running in … If there is another chance next year, I believe Kyle The special team may not match you! “
“Thank you for your blessings,” Nowitzki said in his jaws. “So, do you want to join our team?”
“miss you!”
Pippen’s heart was overjoyed, and he subconsciously said it.
But at the next moment, he remembered his worries, “If you want me, I won’t be inferior to the draft next year … are you going to make me perform worse?”
With the results of the New York Unicorns, if they fall to the top 20, they will have a chance to choose Pippen.
Or if they exchanged players and picks, it is very likely to get Pippen.
But Pippen doesn’t think he has such a big face.
He is not Jordan.
“No, no.” Nowitzki said, “I think this year is a good opportunity. Will you come?”
“what!?”
“Just like Karl Malone last year, you don’t have to wait for college to graduate, come directly to our team.” Nowitzki said, “It happens that this year we have a big salary adjustment, you can get a high salary of 8 million US dollars ! “
“what!?”
Pippen calculated a salary of three million dollars in eight years, and could not help but swallow.
The salaries of ordinary Americans are not high now. It is good to have $ 40,000 after tax for one year, or $ 30,000 after tax for ordinary people.
His 8 million US dollars in 8 years are after tax, and his income is close to 400,000 US dollars a year, which is 10 times that of the middle class!
That is to say, after such eight years, he is equivalent to working for others for a lifetime.
Not to mention that he also heard Nowitzki say that the New York Unicorns have a major salary adjustment this year.
Jordan signed them only two years ago, and now they are starting to change their contracts so quickly and increase their salary. This New York Kirin team is really generous!
Right!
Can the richest team in the world still lack money?
“Oh, I forgot to tell you that these players, in addition to their salary on the court, have a good extra income.” Nowitzki added fuel, “You know that our boss is also Nike. The second largest shareholder? Now Nike is working hard to build our team, so the advertising endorsement fee is particularly high.
Everyone’s share in advertising and jersey shoes is very rich for a year. Let’s not talk about Jordan. It can reach more than 10 million a year. Others, even Karl Malone, have no audience, and it is about 200,000 a year. Although you are a newcomer, it will be at least US $ 100,000 a year. If the performance is good and the audience likes it, it will increase to two or three hundred thousand, which is a matter of minutes! “
Pippen’s eyes lit up.
In addition to salary, there is so much income, it is just like Bai Zhan!
I don’t ask myself to be like Jordan ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ Only half, one third, or even one tenth of Jordan, that’s a million!
By that time, I would have earned more than one million dollars a year, and my parents and siblings would have a great improvement in their lives!
They will soon be able to move out of that poor and chaotic community and go to a place with a good environment.
And myself, therefore, will become the pride of the family, the idols admired by neighbors and friends!
Thinking of this, he nodded seriously, “I am very willing to join the New York Unicorns, but please give me a few days to think about it, okay?”
“it is good!”
Nowitzki laughed.
How can he not see such an experienced professional manager, Pippen is already a fleshy flesh and can no longer run away?
