NOVEL NEXT Chapter 14 This chapter is about daily relaxation, horse, plum, winter plum, horse, etc.
An hour later, seeing Lin Fei complete 400 three-pointers again, Szebiak and trainer Thomas stared with shock.
Although this second 400 three-pointers did not have a 98% shooting rate, and missed a total of 15 shots, the shooting rate also exceeded 96%.
Szebiak, who had a camera in his hand, was very excited: "Lin, 800 three-pointers in a row, with a shooting percentage of over 97%. How did you do it?"
"As far as I know, Ray Allen and Peja's three-point shooting percentage in training is only about 80%!"
Lin Fei wiped the sweat on his face with a towel, and said to Sizebiak in a serious and mysterious manner:
"Wally, you also know that my favorite is the filet mignon fried by my sister-in-law. Let me eat it for free for a month, and I will tell you the secret of my shooting!"
Sizebiak's eyes widened instantly, his eyes shone brightly, and he lightly hit Lin Fei's chest with his fist:
"Let you eat for free for a month? This is absolutely not okay!"
"At least three months, I said, Xiang Nong will not refuse!"
Lin Fei nodded with a smile, it was so cheap that he felt a little embarrassed to be honest.
Gently leaning towards Sizebiak's ear, Lin Fei whispered:
"The trick is only seven words, train, train, train!"
Before he finished speaking, Lin Fei ran away in a flash, and Szerbiak quickly chased after him after realizing it.
"Okay, you kid, how dare you play tricks on me!"
"The three-month-old filet mignon must be fried by my sister-in-law herself. Don't regret it!"
Half past eleven in the evening.
A royal blue Bentley Mulsanne slowly drove out of the underground garage of the Target Center Arena,
Soon he was speeding onto the brightly lit Beltway of Minneapolis.
The two people sitting in the driver's seat and the passenger's seat were Szebiak and Lin Fei.
The car stereo was playing Michael Jackson's classic song "Heal the World," which Szczerbiak has said is his favorite song.
The breeze blowing into the car window from the Mississippi River is neither hot nor cold. The weather in Minneapolis at the end of May is the most comfortable, with an average temperature of 5 degrees, consistent with Lin Fei's number.
When Lin Fei first came to the United States, he had an annual salary of more than 30 US dollars, plus a million dollars in compensation from his parents who died unexpectedly, so his life was not that difficult.
But of course it can't be compared with a quasi-All-Star like Szebiak, who has an annual salary of $800 million.
Szebiak owns a $280 million single-family home on the Mississippi River with its own basketball court and swimming pool.
Here he lives with his wife, Shannon Ward, and two cute little cotton-padded jackets.
Lin Fei rented a two-story villa with four bedrooms and two living rooms, and the annual rent was US$6.2.
Because the small villa Lin Fei rented and Szebiak's mansion were not far apart, only about 9 meters away. They were both in the wealthy area of the Mississippi River and kilometers away from the Target Center Arena.
Therefore, during the new season, Lin Fei would occasionally take Szebiak's car to and from the arena and home.
The reason why one person still spends more than 6 US dollars a year to rent a small villa is not because Lin Fei loves luxury.
Rather, this small villa has its own gymnasium and a half-court open-air basketball court, which is convenient for Lin Fei's daily training.
Lin Fei's own car is a red Ford Mustang, which cost 3 US dollars.
Although it's not as good as Szebiak's Bentley Mulsanne, which costs more than $40, at least Lin Fei is very satisfied.
have to say,
Even a low-level NBA player like Lin Fei is considered a high-income earner with an annual salary of US$35. Even after tax, the salary is more than US$20.
In 2004, the average annual salary in the United States was less than $7.
Comparing the stars of Tianchao CBA, we can also see the gap. This year, Zhu Fangyu won the CBA championship on behalf of the Guangdong team and gradually became famous, but his annual salary is only 50 Tianchao coins.
This may be one of the reasons why he insists on staying in the NBA.
In the NBA, the highest palace in the world of basketball,
Even for a player at the lowest level like Lin Fei, his salary is instantly higher than that of first-class stars in most other national basketball leagues in the world.
Sit in the passenger seat and rest for a while, admiring the night view of the city.
Only then did Lin Fei have time to take out his Nokia 1100 mobile phone. After turning it on, he found two missed calls.
One was called by Lin Fei's manager Qin Dongmei.
The other one is Dayao.
The memory of the original owner came to my mind. Speaking of Qin Dongmei, she could be regarded as a noble person who Lin Fei could come to the NBA.
Qin Dongmei is 23 years old, 172cm tall and 53kg in weight. She is from Xinjiang and looks exactly like the actress Tong Liya. She is Lin Fei's senior at Qingbei University.
She was also Lin Fei's female fan and cheerleader in the CUBAE school team.
Lin Fei made the decision to come to the United States to participate in the NBA draft in May last year. At that time, he needed a knowledgeable agent to operate it.
Qin Dongmei volunteered to become Lin Fei's manager.
Because Qin Dongmei was also admitted to the Department of Financial Management of Stanford University with excellent results and was about to embark on the road to study in the United States.
Lin Fei naturally felt that it was a bit of a joke at the time. Although they both wanted to come to the United States,
But a senior who is still in college, has no experience as an NBA agent, and does not understand the world of people in the United States, can she really handle it?
The reality proved that Lin Fei was wrong, Qin Dongmei's personal ability was completely beyond Lin Fei's imagination.
From applying for NBA draft qualifications across countries, to contacting NBA teams, going to the United States to participate in trial training, and even media hype,
Qin Dongmei fully helped Lin Fei act as agent, and no mistakes were made.
Moreover, the agent contract signed by Qin Dongmei and Lin Fei can be said to be quite conscientious. They only take 0.5% of the team salary and 2% of the commercial endorsement, but their business capabilities are first-class.
Sometimes Lin Fei would jokingly ask Qin Dongmei: "Sister Qin, do you think you like me? You're not interested in money, are you interested in my body?"
At this time, Qin Dongmei will always respond domineeringly: "You kid, get out of here, I am not short of money, I am just short of a dream!"
"If you can make a name for yourself in the NBA, raise the prestige of our country, and teach those arrogant black players a lesson, I will give you money from your sister!"
Now Lin Fei has come to play for the Timberwolves, while Qin Dongmei is studying at Stanford University in California, helping Lin Fei handle agent matters in his spare time.
Two like-minded people drifting overseas with the same goals naturally have a little more sympathy for each other.
But Lin Fei now has a system, and Qin Dongmei is following the right person.
In the future, when Lin Fei truly achieves superstar status, will he sign more than tens of millions of commercial endorsements?
Even if it is a 2% commission, Qin Dongmei can still get a lot.
Pressing his fingers on the retro Nokia numeric keyboard, Lin Fei was really out of place.
Thinking about the fact that I won’t be able to play with pesticides and survive for a long time in the future, I always feel that something is missing in my life.
The call was dialed quickly, and Qin Dongmei's surprised voice immediately came from the other end:
"Lin Fei, your performance in G5 of the Western Conference Finals tonight was so crazy. I knew you would definitely succeed!"
"Which team do you want to play next season? We are no longer in Minnesota. I went to watch the game with you last winter, and that guy almost froze to death!"
A warm smile appeared at the corner of Lin Fei's mouth. Although Qin Dongmei looks like Tong Liya and has a first-rate figure, when she speaks, she really smells like Ma Dongmei in a certain troubled movie.
It’s just justice!
Together with Qin Dongmei, Lin Fei couldn't help making some small jokes, and the air became lively.
"Sister Qin, this is what you said. Then go to New York or Miami. Just give me an annual salary of about 500 million US dollars. It doesn't have to be too high!"
On the other end of the phone: "...Is your kid drifting off, or is it your sister that I can't handle the knife? Are you asking for five million?"
"It's not impossible, the next Western Conference Finals G6, do you dare to hit me with 7 more three-pointers?"
Lin Fei smiled confidently: "What's wrong with this? I'll score 8 for you! How lucky!"
