The draft conference is finally over.
Backstage competitions between the league teams, Li Shengli knew nothing.
Although he missed the No. 1 champion, he got a list of good or bad. Li Shengli also looked away and set his sights on future development.
In the end, a group of young and old returned to Greenville, and there was a white uncle, an old friend of Thompson, a white uncle called Sven Turner, and Turner was the agent Thompson was looking for for Li Shengli. .
……
Generally speaking, a large number of popular rookies in each draft conference will find a lot of agents before the draft conference begins. Li Shengli, as a hot draft player in this session, is naturally no exception, just... The agents were blocked by Li Shengli.
However, the situation is different now.
In Thompson's words, a player's success is absolutely inseparable from a qualified agent, and it has been determined that Li Shengli, who joined the Charlotte Hornets, does need an excellent agent to help.
You should know that the role of the agent is not only to talk about the contract and to talk about the transfer team. What is more messy in the later period is that with the help of the agent, Li Shengli can naturally spare more time to invest in training for better growth .
……
Speaking of it, according to Li Shengli's original idea...the fat and water will not flow outside the field.
Since you want to pay the broker's salary, it is better to let yourself come, and what Li Shengli thinks is...Let Thompson and Jabal two uncles help to deal with it casually.
But Thompson and Jabalziqi gave him four glances.
Are you kidding me? !
Let two big brother-level figures and NBA stars give Li Shengli such a hairy boy errand? Do you still want the old faces of the big brothers? The elder brother immediately said...even if they were poor and starved, they would not be the agent.
Fortunately, Thompson’s interpersonal network is big enough, and he also knows a lot of playful agents. Sven Turner is one of them, and he knows that he is the agent for Li Shengli, the leader of this year’s list. Na will not be stupid enough to refuse.
……
Three days later.
Li Shengli finally received a notice from the Hornets team, inviting him to sign the rookie contract on July 5 to the Hornets' base camp in Charlotte, North Carolina.
According to the regulations, there are still some ‘inspection’ processes to be taken before the contract is signed, such as...the team’s team physical examination, physical health examination, etc., these Li Shengli passed easily.
And the next is Li Shengli's long-awaited rookie contract.
There are professionals like Sven Turner, coupled with the Hornets' attention to Li Shengli in this draft, the signing of the contract is quite smooth.
Li Shengli signed a 3+1 rookie contract.
The first three years are guarantee contracts, the last year is a team option, the first year's salary is 2.4 million, the last year's amount is 4.56 million, and the total contract amount is 13.92 million.
……
13.92 million? !
Seriously, Li Shengli almost fainted when he heard the amount. When he signed, he couldn't hold the pen a bit. He turned the wasp management's eyes straight and sweated, wondering if Li Shengli had any hidden problems...
But this really can't blame Li Shengli for failing.
Nearly 14 million contracts!
Although it is much less than the Shak O'Neill's 17 million+ number one contract, although it still needs to deduct the broker's share and tax, it is also a huge sum of money that Li Shengli, who is less than 20 years old, dare not think about in his life. He was so big that he couldn't think of any flowers for a while...
Overnight get rich?
What makes this a local tyrant?
Li Shengli doesn't know how to describe his current mood.
……
After signing the contract, it is the choice of jersey number.
Looking at the list of numbers available for him to choose, Li Shengli hit No. 33 without thinking, because...Jabbar retired from the No. 33 jersey in the Lakers era, and choosing No. 33 is also a tribute to Uncle Jia who has always taught himself.
Charlotte Hornets, No. 33 Li Shengli.
Leaving everything aside, this is Li Shengli's first identity in the NBA.
……
After everything was done, Li Shengli followed the Hornets' management to understand the team's history and current situation. After all, the Hornets will be his owner in the future.
History? !
In the NBA league, the Hornets really have no history.
In 1988, the Charlotte Hornets joined the Miami Heat with the Miami Heat. In 1989, Orlando Magic and the Minnesota Timberwolves followed...
It can be said that the Hornets are one of the youngest teams in the NBA league, and young means that the foundation is insufficient. After a few seasons...the bottom of the regular season and the missed playoffs are of course normal operations.
But... After a few seasons of transition, the Hornets gradually accumulated a good lineup.
……
First of all... In the 1991 draft, the Hornets took the guard of Kendall Gill in the fifth round of the first round.
This season, Kendall Gill, as the starting player, ranked first in the team with 20.5 points per game. His shooting rate of 46.7% also proved that he is a good enough shooter.
Secondly... The first pick in the first round of 1992 won the current draft pick Larry Johnson~EbookFREE.me~ Larry Johnson used his strength to prove that he is worthy of the big contract the owner gave him. As a starting power forward, the rookie season averaged 19.2 points and 11 rebounds per game.
……
shooting guard: Kendall Gill.
Power forward: Larry Johnson.
The season performance of both of them is not bad, known as the Charlotte Hornets Double Sha, also let the fans see the hope of the rise of their team.
In addition to the two heads, the team's substitute veteran Dell Curry is also an important firepower for the outside.
There is... The Hornets' unique point guard Maggie Boggs.
The shortest player in NBA history, only 160 cm tall.
160 cm? !
has to say that this height is not short in a place like the NBA where big people are, even if it is placed in a normal person.
However... Boggs still proved his worth with his own strength.
Although it is said that basketball is an elder sport, it is obviously not applicable here at Boggs. He is too fast and has a strong on-the-spot ability.
As the Hornets' most important backcourt strength, Boggs is not superior in scoring ability due to height restrictions, but... averaging 9.1 assists per game last season is definitely the Hornets' undoubted assist king!
……
This is the current situation of the Charlotte Hornets. The outside is strong, and the inside also has last year's draft pick and the strength of Larry Johnson.
Now the Hornets have ushered in this year's list center Li Shengli, which has greatly strengthened the inside strength. Everyone thinks that the Hornets' future is promising. After all, this is... a time that belongs to the center, a center is the most glorious era.
