77. Goodbye to training camp!

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

US$710,000 in the first year and US$830,000 in the second year are partially guaranteed, of which US$290,000 is the guaranteed part.

Compared with Curry's four-year, 12.71 million 2+2 fully guaranteed contract for the first two years that I heard from Curry before, it is indeed much different.

But from basically having no ability to make a living, to now barely being considered a "millionaire", Sun Ce feels that his hard work has finally paid off!

Moreover, Sun Ce learned from Bill Duffy that AJ Price, who was selected with the 22nd pick in the second round this year, received a three-year contract from the Pacers, with only $460,000 guaranteed in the first year.

The salary increase in the second and third years is much larger than that of Sun Ce. In the second year, it is US$820,000 and in the third year, it is US$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-

Price's contract total is much larger than Sun Ce's.

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 well and both exceed their current worth, Sun Ce can already sign a new contract, but ad-Price can still only get a basic salary.

But if his performance is mediocre, it will be easier for AJ Price to have his contract executed than for Sun Ce to get a new contract.

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

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

Perhaps a good relationship with Curry is also the key to getting a contract with a guaranteed portion of $1 million.

The evening before yesterday, Bill Duffy received a call from Nelson. At that time, Bill Duffy, who had just returned to Los Angeles from China, quickly bought the nearest plane to Las Vegas.

After Sun Ce played his 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 be able to get a guaranteed contract in the first year. Although the Warriors didn't sign it, they could still try to go to other teams, but it was too difficult to get a guaranteed contract.

After more than half a month of training, Sun Ce also learned something. 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... it is useless for some players to work hard.

Moreover, the efforts of most players are of no use.

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

The income is high, but the threshold is higher!

Sun Ce has now truly stepped into the threshold of basketball's highest palace!

After signing the contract, Nelson asked his secretary to submit the contract to the league, stretched out his hand and said to Sun Ce: "Noah, you are 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 Nelson.

After the contract was signed, Sun Ce was still a little dizzy. He just got one million US dollars!



I returned to the hotel in a daze and saw that there was only one bed in the room...

Sun Ce felt a little melancholy...

Curry and I agreed to be teammates as a joke, and now we are actually teammates. It feels incredible.

Joining the Warriors was completely unexpected.

As for how strong the Warriors will be in the future, and how strong they will be in a row of five stars, it will be a matter of several years.

Sun Ce played in the summer league for more than a week. In addition to getting along well with Curry, Moreau, Randolph, and Hunter, he occasionally listened to the chatter of his relatively friendly senior Devin 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!

Just because you signed a two-year contract doesn't mean you can sit back and relax.

Even Douglas and Sun Ce had a hard time playing. Without Curry's strong containment and stable shooting, Sun Ce would not be Douglas's opponent.

He estimates that Dragic will be difficult to deal with now that he is here!

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

Maybe it’s the general sense of crisis among Chinese people born in the 1980s and 1990s. As soon as he overcame the most difficult thing before, Sun Ce’s sense of crisis immediately gave him another pressure.

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

But Sun Ce, who has endured a lot of hardships, has long been used to pressure.

The present is full of ups and downs but there is a clear direction for progress. It is much better than having no room for progress and a visible future!

The biggest benefit for Sun Ce in the six games of the summer league is that he knows how to use his own advantages and how to cooperate with his teammates, or in other words, how to cooperate with teammates who are not that strong.

The situation we are facing now is very different from that in the Suns' final game. During the final game, his teammates were all very strong, and it will be difficult to have teammates as good as the Suns in the future. This summer league is very critical for Sun Ce!

"There are still more than two months to go. There are Nash's physical training methods, Curry's man-ball training method, Curry and Nash's layup accuracy training, and Nash's passing training methods..."

Sun Ce counted the items in the learning section that he could practice by himself, feeling very excited!





"You go home to train with your dad? By the way, your dad is the scoring leader in the history of the Hornets..." Sun Ce became jealous as he spoke.

Curry feels like he wants to hit Sun Ce every time he talks to him!

He said this as if he relied on his father to get into the NBA.

Forget it, from now on, as teammates, we have to keep calm and think of it as training. Curry endured it and said, "I'm going home to practice strength and shooting, can we do it together?"

"No, the techniques we practice must be very different. I will first practice what I know now. I will have plenty of time to train with you in the future." Sun Ce responded.

"Okay, I've already guessed it," Curry had already expected Sun Ce's choice and agreed with it. However, he would not make Sun Ce happy and said directly: "See you at the training camp!"

"Are you not going to invite me again? Are you willing to leave a warm big brother?"

"roll!"

"How heartless... Hey, why are you leaving so fast? See you at the training camp..."

Curry returned to Oakland the night Sun Ce signed the contract. He did two things. One was to report back to the team, and the second was to meet with Sun Ce. After all, he was his first friend who entered the NBA, and he was with Sun Ce.

Just like Curry has a different feeling, Curry also feels very special about this teammate relationship.

But just like before, the meeting ended in a quarrel.
