Super Role Player

Chapter 17: End of lockout

   In the locker room of the visiting team in the West Lake City Stadium, Anxi’s smartphone broadcasts a live broadcast of an official NBA press conference. The live broadcast is related to the suspension.

   Anxi was wearing an ice pack, watching intently.

   Alliance Vice President Adam Silva appeared on the screen and walked to the middle with a press release.

"Hello, friends from the press, after 18 hours of negotiations, we announced that we have reached a final agreement with NBA player representatives. Both league representatives and player representatives have signed the agreement. The league has now officially announced that the suspension is over! "

   "Papa Papa!" There was a round of applause and cheers in the screen, and An Xi also raised his right hand and clenched his fist tightly.

   Ren Kelly and the others, who have been onlookers, saw what Anxi looked like, and quickly understood

   Ren Kelly scratched his head and asked, "Ann, are you going to the NBA now?"

  Go to the NBA? Anxi shook his head. He didn't know. He wanted to go to the NBA immediately, provided the Spurs sign him now!

   He doesn't know what attitude the Spurs are now. Although the Spurs sent a scout over, he doesn't know what the scout thinks about Anxi.

In short, what Anxi has to do now is to wait and wait for news from the NBA. Once the lockout is over, if the Spurs do not send someone to Anxi to sign a contract, it means that Anxi will play in the CBA for a year or two, but Anxi will play against himself. There is still confidence in entering the NBA. It really doesn't work. I played well in the CBA this season. When I wait for the Olympics next year, I will have a wave of myself. Will the Spurs not sign themselves?

  ……

   In the United States, the league staff who had stayed up all night took a rest, and as far away as San Antonio, Gregg Popovich had just turned off the TV and was ready to take a good rest to deal with the upcoming free market and transfer market.

   Just then, the phone rang.

   "Greg, are you asleep?" The team's general manager R.C. Buford called.

   "Just getting ready to go to bed, what's the matter?" Popovich squinted his eyes, his gray hair set off him very tired at this time, and even his voice was hoarse.

   "There was a call from Houston, hoping to talk to us about the deal for this year's No. 59 rookie."

   "This year's No. 59 rookie? Who is that?"

   "China An, don't you remember it?"

"Oh? He? Then just refuse, Tres has already told me that China Ann has the ability to play in the NBA. I also watched the video he sent back. I can sign it. Let's go, Robert Ford's full name: Robert-Canterbury "RC" Buford), you can get someone to contact Ann's agent and talk to him about the contract. He is part of my plan for the new season.

   hung up the phone, Popovich rubbed his eyes vigorously, his lips moved, and muttered to himself: "The 57th overall pick in 1999 and the 59th overall pick in 2011 are very interesting!”

  ……

Back in the magic city, Anxi soon received a call from Ivo Clark. During the call, Ivo Clark was extremely excited and shouted: "Ann! Ann! Are you there? Do you know? San Antonio contacted me! They want to Signed a rookie contract with you!"

   Anxi listened to the yelling of Ivo Clark on the phone, and he laughed too, okay, the good news for the Spurs is here, then we will say goodbye to the teammates of Dayao and the Magic City team next?

"Ann, go back to the United States as soon as possible. The league has announced that the free market and transfer market will be opened at the same time on December 9, and the preseason will start on December 14. Two or three preseason games will be held, so you have to hurry up. , Maybe the Spurs have already started pre-season training."

   An Xi nodded and agreed.

   After contacting Zhang Mingji, Anxi announced that he had terminated the contract with the Magic City team and immediately left for the United States.

The news of Anxi rushing to the United States soon spread in China. The photos of him and Zhang Mingji appearing at the magic capital Hongqiao Airport were taken by the media. Several major portals stated that "Anxi is going to the United States and is about to sign with the Spurs." The headline reported the news.

   And the Basketball Pioneer, which seems to have got inside information, revealed the next day that Anxi may not have signed the Spurs, but the Rockets! The Rockets are likely to trade for Anxi's signing rights with cash and second-round picks!

   At this time, Anxi was already in the United States. After the plane landed in Los Angeles, Anxi and Zhang Mingji transferred to San Antonio, and finally arrived at the Spurs headquarters in the afternoon of the next day.

  The contract negotiations with the Spurs went smoothly. After all, Anxi is only a second-round rookie, and the contract amount is relatively fixed in all aspects. Therefore, a two-year 1.8 million contract with the team option for the second year was signed.

   On the second day in San Antonio, the Spurs notified the major media that they would hold a press conference to sign the rookies in the afternoon.

  Anxi also got the Spurs' notice. In the morning, he went to the Spurs training hall to choose his jersey number. Anxi chose the number 7. This number has always been regarded by Anxi as his lucky number.

   In the afternoon, in the training hall in San Antonio, before a screen with the NBA logo and the Spurs logo, the reporters with guns and guns were already prepared. Many Chinese faces appeared among the reporters at the scene, and it seemed that they came for Anxi.

But almost at the same time, in Houston, another city in Texas, the Rockets also held a rookie signing ceremony. There also gathered a large number of Chinese-faced reporters. They all heard the report of the domestic basketball pioneer and mistakenly believed that Anxi had been traded to the Rockets. , Is about to sign with the Rockets.

   However, the Rockets rookie signing ceremony that started earlier quickly disappointed these reporters. UU看书www.uukanshu.com. Only two rookies came out behind the com curtain, one is the 14th rookie Marcus Morris, and the other is the second round rookie Chandler Parsons...no Anxi!

   Then the news from San Antonio turned these reporters from disappointment to anger! Because Anxi appeared on the scene in San Antonio!

  San Antonio, Gregg Popovich and R.C. Buford co-hosted the rookie signing ceremony. Kawhi Leonard, Corey Joseph and Anxi appeared in sequence...

   Anxi also showed off his No. 7 jersey. At the same time, R.C. Buford announced that he will sign with Anxi for two years and will play in the NBA in the new season.

After the press conference, Anxi chatted with a few reporters from the motherland. He probably knew what happened in Houston. He was also a little bit dumbfounded. Because the signing time was very tight, Zhang Mingji and the others did not notify any reporters. , Coupled with the basketball pioneer’s chasing after the wind, unexpectedly caused such a misunderstanding.

The reporters in San Antonio were naturally very happy. They successfully interviewed Anxi. After signing with the Spurs, Anxi was very talkative. When faced with the question of what role Hu Kaili hopes to play in the team in the new season raised by Tencent Sports reporter, Anxi was Answered like this.

"It's not easy to say in the new season. The Spurs, the strong team, there is no shortage of people. I signed with them, probably as a substitute, so what I want now is to stand firm here and have a certain Play time."

   As for other insider questions, Anxi did not answer all of them directly.
