Seventy-Eight. It Seems to Be Cheating
"Noah, here is your remittance slip." Bill Duffy handed over the remittance slip of 70% of the salary that was withdrawn from the Warriors in advance to Sun Ce.
Neither Bill Duffy nor the Warriors management were surprised that Sun Ce withdrew his first-year salary in advance, which was quite normal.
In particular, Bill Duffy was very satisfied with Sun Ce's reason for taking his salary, because he had no money to pay for nutritious meals.
Since he has worked with Yao Ming for many years, Bill Duffy knows the Chinese people very well. Generally, Chinese students who study abroad ask their families for money when they have no money. To Bill Duffy, Sun Ce is very special. The family asked for money, which Bill Duffy appreciated.
"Thank you, Bill." Sun Ce thanked him.
With the deepening of the cooperation, Sun Ce's name for the agent has also become more intimate.
Looking at the tax rate on the remittance slip, it's 45.9%. The federal tax is 13.18.6% this year, and the state tax in Oakland is 7.3%. In addition, the union dues Three percent, and the agent takes four percent...
Looking at 497,000 US dollars, only 234,087 US dollars in the account... Sun Ce's heart hurts!
What about a millionaire!
Sun Ce forgot about this, and more than half of his hard-earned money was handed over to the US emperor!
It hurts so much that it's hard to breathe!
"I've already contacted a nutritionist for you. They will help you make nutritious meals according to your specific situation. If you want to go to the gym, I have already arranged a personal trainer for you. You can go there this summer..."
Bill Duffy arranged the nutritionist Sun Ce needed and the fitness facility with the necessary strength training.
Sun Ce looked at the expense list. This is what he needs to pay at the end of summer training.
The price was acceptable, and Sun Ce reckoned that he would have enough money left after sending money back to his cheap parents.
On July 21, Sun Ce returned to his home in Phoenix.
After the summer league, the rookie has no team activities.
The rent here is cheaper than in the Bay Area, and he is more used to training here. Maybe he will have the opportunity to ask Nash for advice. Before there is no other better training place, Sun Ce plans to spend the summer here.
After explaining the arrangements for assisting Sun Ce in training, Bill Duffy continued: "Noah, some sponsors are in contact with me, and I will help you choose the right one. Do you have any taboos about endorsement?"
"Taboo?" Sun Ce didn't expect to have to choose!
Sun Ce thought for a while and said, "Don't accept the endorsement of daily necessities, and don't accept the endorsement of South Korea."
"Crooked?" Bill Duffy understands that he does not accept endorsements for food and other daily necessities. Many players have been involved in lawsuits in this regard before, and gradually NBA players rarely endorse food and other daily necessities.
However, this is the first time that the endorsement of a specific country has not been accepted.
The main reason is that there happened to be a South Korean hospital looking for Sun Ce to speak for him...
"Their character is not good. As long as there are powerful people in Asia, they will say that they are from their country. I don't want to have anything to do with them."
"...OK, I understand." Bill Duffy was really curious about South Korea, but he didn't show it, and continued: "I will contact you if there is a job. When the time comes, your training needs to be temporarily suspended. You Understand that it's part of your job as a player."
Bill Duffy completely regarded Sun Ce as a training freak.
Very few rookies start to train like crazy right after being selected, and start training again before taking a few days off after the summer league...
...
...
After seeing off Bill Duffy, Sun Ce also went out.
First, he went to the bank to check the account information, and after confirming that the money had arrived, Sun Ce came to Chinatown, where he wanted to go... the Phoenix branch of ICBC.
There is only one ICBC branch in Arizona.
ICBC is probably the domestic bank with the most overseas branches.
There is no handling fee for remittances in US dollars to domestic RMB accounts here, but relatively speaking, the handling fee for RMB exchanged to the US dollar is slightly higher, and Sun Ce has never been here in his memory.
I remitted 500,000 Ruanmei coins to my cheap dad, and more than 70,000 US dollars disappeared in an instant... Sun Ce was in pain, but the pain at this time was not as good as the little sense of accomplishment in his heart.
After taking the remittance slip, Sun Ce drove home while looking forward to the happy voice of cheap dad calling...
...
In the evening, Sun Ce was practicing the core strength of the waist and abdomen according to the Nash training method, when the mobile phone rang.
Sun Ce, who had been waiting for a call from his cheap father, went to answer the phone in a hurry.
As soon as Sun Ce picked up the phone, there was a burst of cursing...
"Guawazi, why don't you call me before you send money to me? You don't know which mobile phone is tied to that card..." Suddenly, the voice stopped, and then, Sun Ce seemed to hear a few horrific sounds. Call……
The voice turned into a gentle female voice: "Ah Ce, you have finally grown up, and you know that you will use the money first for your mother. You gave the 500,000 to your mother, right?"
"???" Sun Ce was at a loss, he hadn't said a word yet, it seemed that something serious happened on the other side!
This was the first time he heard the words of his mother in this life with his own ears, and there was no such thing as being too touched, but a kind of fear from the bottom of his heart!
Sun Ce said subconsciously: "Yes, yes, it's for mom. You can buy some cosmetics. Mom, I have something else to do, so I'll hang up first..."
Hurry up and hang up the phone. When he hung up the phone, Sun Ce seemed to hear a scream, as if to say, "This is the money that Guizi gave the old man..."
After hanging up the phone, Sun Ce was still a little dazed. He really didn't know what was going on. It seemed that he had made some money and sent it back to cause some family chaos, but deep down he felt that this kind of thing seemed quite normal...
"Are we Bashu men all so miserable? Forget it, let's just leave it at that, I've done my filial piety, yes, keep training!"
...
...
On July 22, the second day after returning to Phoenix, Sun Ce began to formulate a training plan as detailed as possible, which he learned from Nash.
After thinking about it, Sun Ce felt that there were five items to train, namely: confrontation, ball control, passing, layup, and free throws.
Among them, the first four items all have a content to be trained-the combination of human and ball!
That is, as long as you are free, just play with the ball.
Of course, it’s not just playing casually, but the kind of playing that is very handy. When you see a wall, you just hit it. If you dribble the ball, you should be more flamboyant after the meeting. This is taught by both Nash and Curry. You can play flamboyantly , proving that you have a certain ability to control the ball, and then practice from flamboyant to steady...
But to be able to control the ball steadily, pick and roll steadily, and deliver the ball steadily to the target who wants to pass the ball in the game requires enough confrontation, that is, strength.
This has to rely on Nash's physical training method, not the kind of muscular man that can be achieved overnight, but step by step on the basis of combining other training!
