Seventy-Seven. Goodbye Training Camp!

After a not-so-long negotiation, Bill Duffy helped Sun Ce win a 1+1 contract totaling US$1.54 million.

$710,000 in the first year, $830,000 in the second year is a partial guarantee, of which $290,000 is the guaranteed part.

Compared with Curry's 4-year 12.71 million 2+2 full guarantee contract for the first two years that I inquired from Curry before, it is indeed much worse.

But from being basically incapable of earning a living to barely being a "millionaire" now, Sun Ce feels that his hard work has finally paid off!

Moreover, Sun Ce learned from Bill Duffy that AJ Price, who was selected together with the 22nd overall pick in the second round this year, got a three-year contract with the Pacers, with only a guarantee of $460,000 in the first year. The salary increase in the second and third years is much larger than that of Sun Ce. The second year is $820,000, and the third year is $1.13 million. There are no specific restrictions on the contract of the second-round pick, as long as there is space, you can sign it. AJ- The total amount of Price's contract is much larger than that of Sun Ce.

But the next two years of this contract are team options, and the term is longer. In the third year of his career, AJ-Price has an advantage over Sun Ce, that is, the contract may be executed.

But if the two perform equally and both exceed their current net worth, Sun Ce can already sign a new contract, but AD-Price can still only get a basic salary.

But if the performance is average, it is easier for AJ-Price to be executed than for Sun Ce to get a new contract.

Relatively speaking, Sun Ce, who is sure to have a guaranteed salary of $290,000 in the second year, is much better paid than AJ-Price.

This is inseparable from Sun Ce's passing talent and awareness of breakthroughs shown in the summer league. Of course, the Warriors also have concerns. After all, it is the summer league and the confrontation is not strong.

Maybe a good relationship with Curry is also the key to getting a contract with a guarantee of $1 million.

The evening before yesterday, Bill Duffy received a call from Nelson Elder. Bill Duffy, who had just returned to Los Angeles from China, quickly bought the latest flight to Las Vegas.

After Sun Ce played the last summer league game yesterday, he came to Oakland that night and signed a contract with the Warriors this morning.

Bill Duffy was relieved to get a guaranteed contract for the first year. Although the Warriors don't sign it, they can try to go to other teams, but it is too difficult to get a guaranteed contract.

After more than half a month of tempering, Sun Ce also learned some things. When he was a fan, he felt that a certain team spent a lot of money to sign a certain player. At that time, he also felt that it was too easy for players to make money.

But now after experiencing it himself, Sun Ce understands that it is true that it is easy for capable players to make a lot of money, but... some players work hard and it is useless.

And most of the players' efforts are useless.

There are less than 1,000 players in the world who can earn more than one million U.S. dollars a year by playing basketball.

The income is high, but the threshold is higher!

Now Sun Ce has really stepped into the threshold of the highest basketball hall!

After signing the contract, Old Nelson asked the secretary to submit the contract to the alliance, stretched out his hand and said to Sun Ce: "Noah, welcome to officially join our big family!"

"I'm very happy to be a part of the team." Sun Ce quickly reached out and shook hands with Old Nelson.

After the contract was signed, Sun Ce was still a little dizzy, and just got a million dollars!

...

Going back to the hotel in a daze, I saw that there was only one bed in the room...

Sun Ce felt a little melancholy...

At the beginning, I made an appointment with Curry to be a teammate as a joke, but now I have really become a teammate. It feels incredible.

Joining the Warriors was completely unexpected.

As for how the Warriors will be strong in the future, so strong that they will be five-star,

It's all a few years later.

Sun Ce played in the summer league for more than a week. In addition to getting along well with Curry, Morrow, Randolph, and Hunter, he occasionally listened to the nagging of the relatively friendly senior German George.

Sun Ce saw with his eyes and listened with his ears, and felt many things that were different from what he imagined.

Now Sun Ce doesn't even think about which stars he will partner with in the future. What he has to think about now is how to survive in the NBA!

Signing a two-year contract does not mean that you can sit back and relax.

Even Douglas Sun Ce played very hard. Without Curry's strong restraint and such stable shooting, Sun Ce would not be Douglas' opponent.

He estimated that Dragic would be very difficult to deal with now!

And... the regular season and the summer league are not the same concept!

It may be the general sense of crisis awareness of the post-80s and post-90s generation in China. As soon as he crossed over the most difficult thing before, Sun Ce's sense of crisis awareness immediately found another pressure for him.

After Sun Ce understood his inner thoughts, he was a little envious of the heartless Sun Ce before.

But Sun Ce, who has suffered a lot, has long been used to the pressure.

Now is full of ups and downs but has a clear direction of progress, which is much better than a future with no room for progress and a visible future!

The biggest benefit to Sun Ce in the six games of the summer league is that he knows how to use his own advantages, how to cooperate with his teammates, or how to cooperate with relatively less strong teammates.

The situation we are facing now is very different from the Suns’ curtain call. The teammates were very strong during the curtain call, but it will be difficult to have teammates as good as the Suns in the future. This summer league is very important for Sun Ce!

"There are still more than two months to go. There are Nash's physical training method, Curry's combination of man-ball training method, Curry and Nash's layup accuracy, and Nash's passing training method..." Sun Ce counted the items in the learning section that he could practice by himself, feeling very excited!

...

...

"Are you going home to train with your dad? By the way, your dad is the Hornets' all-time scoring leader..." Sun Ce became jealous as he spoke.

Curry felt that he wanted to hit someone more and more every time he talked with Sun Ce!

It's as if he got into the NBA by relying on his father.

Forget it, I will be a teammate in the future, so I have to hold my breath, and I should take it as a test. Curry endured it and said, "I'm going home to practice strength and shooting, together?"

"No, the skills we practice must be very different. Let me practice what I know now. I will have more time to train with you in the future." Sun Ce replied.

"Well, I already guessed it," Curry had expected Sun Ce's choice for a long time, and he agreed with it, but he would not make Sun Ce happy, and said directly: "See you in training camp!"

"Aren't you going to invite me again? Are you willing to leave a warm big brother?"

"roll!"

"It's so heartless... Hey, what are you doing so fast, see you at the training camp..."

Curry returned to Oakland on the night Sun Ce signed the contract. There were two things. One was to report back to the team, and the second was to meet Sun Ce. Just as he feels differently about Curry, Curry also feels very special about this teammate.

It's just that, as in the past, the final outcome of the meeting is to quarrel.

Seeing the exhaust of Curry's taxi, Sun Ce got up and went back to the hotel room. Next, it was time to train hard again!
