After making a call, Su Yang took Curry and Cousins ​​to Chicago by private jet.

Originally, according to the tacit understanding of free market recruitment in previous years, we could negotiate in Los Angeles or New York, but Su Yang wanted to express enough sincerity. After all, LeBron must have called Ross. If he wanted to win this recruitment competition, he had to spend some effort.

I entered the agreed hotel at 2 pm. I never thought that Ross arrived early and even brought his brother and his agent with him.

Seeing Cousins ​​and Curry go on, Ross was a little surprised. The main reason was that the boss's superstar team was to prepare for recruiting super free men. Now Ross obviously did not meet that standard, and Su Yang didn't say it first.

The two sides got to know each other, sat down and chatted in detail, Su Yang went straight to the topic: "We want to invite you to join, we can provide you with the opportunity to prove yourself again, and we will also launch an attack on the championship together. There is no locker room politics within us. Curry is the boss of the team with the least lack of airs, and Cousins ​​will not make any team veteran character..."

In the words, Rose's expression changed continuously, with surprises, embarrassment, yearning, and a little worry.

Su Yang finished speaking, Ross's agent B?j? Armstrong rushed to say: "We are very satisfied with the sincerity you showed, but we have received quotes from eight teams before. You can first talk about the salary and tactical status you can provide."

Hearing those words, Cousins ​​immediately looked unhappy, but Curry didn't change his expression and still smiled.

Su Yang almost laughed out loud, knowing that Armstrong was just pretending and fantasizing about getting a big contract for Ross. After all, he had previously claimed that he might renew his contract for 4 years of $120 million. However, the king's current situation obviously can only provide a contract with a minimum salary.

With a look, Curry and Cousins ​​got up and left temporarily, not because there was any secret, but to avoid embarrassment.

"This is the minutes of my meeting with Sam Sinki on June 20th, and we were sure we wanted to recruit you..."

Su Yang did not respond to Armstrong, but took out the notes he had written during the meeting with Hinki and handed them to Ross to read, indicating that the king did not suddenly want to find a bargain in the free market, but made a decision after careful consideration.

Anyway, it is taken very seriously.

"Our salary space was locked at that time and could not provide you with a middle-class contract, but only a basic salary contract. But because of Thomas' departure, we added a portion of the salary space to provide you with a $3 million a year contract. We recruited Jeff Green as well, and I think you want to prove yourself more than a middle-class contract."

"Three million is free of talks!"

Armstrong waved his hand to refuse, and his tone was quite firm. It was probably because of the salary of three million US dollars. Even at the highest share standard of 4%, he could only get a reward of $120,000. Ross was probably his last client who could sign a big contract. He really had no ability. He became Ross's agent by relying on relationships. In recent years, the number of new clients developed bleakly.

It is estimated that Armstrong is still thinking: This guy spent a lot of effort to bring Curry and Cousins ​​to come, and must have taken a lot of attention to Ross and signed a contract with him for three million dollars. It was simply a daydream. I really thought I didn't understand how high Ross' profits were. I heard that Ross is very popular in China. This guy must have wanted Ross to play and help sell his jerseys.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little nervous.

Su Yang didn't bother to pay attention and looked at Rose straight, confident that since entering the league in 2008, the No. 1 pick who has suffered 18 head-to-toe injuries and missed 352 games, what he wants most now is the opportunity to prove himself, and it is not about money.

If it weren't for that, Rose would never have been able to play in the Cavaliers, and afterwards he recalled that he was very embarrassed with LeBron.

"I have another question..."

Rose, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke, "As far as I know, except for Stephen Curry, Zach Lavender and Malcolm Brogdon, they can all serve as point guards. In addition, there are many big men in the Kings tactical system to support them at high positions. If I join you, will I have a lot of time to run without the ball or stay in the bottom corner? I am not an excellent pitcher at the moment..."

While speaking, Su Yang nodded to show that he was listening carefully.

Last season, Ross' overall shooting percentage was 47.1%, but in two points, the final success rate at the basket was 41%. Both points at close range, middle range and long range exceeded the average level, but the three-point shooting percentage was only 21.7%.

As a point guard, the three-point shooting percentage is so low, and the tactics that can be matched on the offensive end have been greatly reduced. Considering that Ross is only 4.4 assists per game, it can be said to be a relatively embarrassing situation, because the data is played by the bad team Knicks.

Rose's tone was obviously not very confident.

As the youngest MVP, it is a pity.

"You are worried that your three-point shooting rate is too low, which leads to a low-level position deviation. In addition, you are close to the base salary and have overlapping functions, and there is a risk of becoming a marginal person. Although I have always fulfilled my promise, there are times when I have not done it, right?"

He asked a question directly, and seeing Ross nodding awkwardly, Su Yang continued with a smile: "We don't need you to take too many three-pointers. We need your breakthrough and organizational skills, especially when the second team is playing, so you don't need to worry about shooting three-pointers. And I believe you can develop a stable three-pointer, especially the open three-pointer after tactical running."

Ross' shooting percentage in mid-range and long shots exceeded the average level. The difference in three-pointers was mainly because he had too few shots. Either he didn't need it before, or the Knicks made a triangle offense last season, allowing him to act as a fixed-point shooter like Fisher, which was completely contrary to his skills.

In the Kings' second team next season, there are quite a few people who can shoot three-pointers, but only Lavender or Brogdon are good at breaking through with the ball. Su Yang is not recruiting Ross out of his personal preference. He is really in need, and it is more appropriate to have a salary cap.

"Then I'll think about it carefully..." Ross replied solemnly.

Su Yang saw it and guessed that Ross wanted to join, but he didn't want to embarrass Armstrong on the spot.

"Okay, I'll leave first after that, call..."

Without getting a promise on the spot, Su Yang got up and shook hands with several people, and instead flew to Las Vegas with Cousins ​​and Curry.

The Kings' Summer League is being held, with the first match against the Suns, and the highlight is the second-largest Tatum vs. Tanhua Ball.

The game started or not, and the news has been hot.

Ball's father pissed Su Yang, saying that the Lakers had promised to choose Lang Zuo, Ball, his hometown team, second place, everything was so beautiful. As a result, Su Yang ran out and made the valuation of the Bbb brand drop sharply, and he could be called the Ball family's big enemy.

Ball's father also said that Langzo Ball would be better than Tatum, and this summer league will be the best proof.

Espn reporter interviewed Su Yang, recounted Ball's father's complaints, and asked if he wanted to respond to Ball's father.

Su Yang smiled and said, "It's good that he's happy."

After all, it is a man who boasts that he can beat Jordan. All his speeches are for traffic. Responding seriously is to help the other party get rich. Anyway, Lang Zuo Ball is not playing in the Lakers, so Ball's father will soon calm down, which is almost the last struggle.

The game starts at 4:00 pm.

The king's side is mainly Brogden, Zhou Qi, Dorian, Tatum, and the sun side is mainly Ball.

In just three quarters, the Kings led by 29 points. Brogden, who was the main best rookie, played the Suns with no power to fight back. When the whole game was over, the Kings beat the Suns by 38 points, and Tatum scored 21 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists.

In comparison, Ball made 2 of 15 shots, 1 of 11 three-pointers, 5 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists, which was a terrible sight.

After the game, the fans mocked Ball's father and lamented that the Kings had chosen another craftsmanship. The main No. 1 pick Fultz made 6 of 16 shots in the first game, and only 17 points were scored. Although it could not determine everything, it was enough to explain many things.

After watching the Kings' debut, Su Yang flew to Los Angeles again and prepared to attend the league board meeting to see the financial report of last season.

The next tenth day, Rose called and agreed to join the King for $3 million a year. Woj quickly broke the news.

It is said that the King got the youngest MVP, and Curry created a double MVP combination, which should have caused a lot of discussion, but the fans are still shocking the Cavaliers to successfully form a four-tier team, and various discussions should be done in order to better defeat the King.

Only the black fan Bill Simmons mentioned that Rose joined the King and believed that Su Yang spent a small amount of money to strengthen his combat power, which was outrageous.

Su Yang instead notified the marketing and marketing departments that he could start preparing for season ticket sales, and the new lineup has been confirmed.

Center: Cousins, Nans, Zhou Qi.

Big Era and Little Era: Antetokounmpo, Grant, Covington, Tatum, Jeff Green, Dorian

Backcourt: Curry, Lavine, Brogdon, Rose.
