Originally, Wen Hao wanted to take a taxi to send his child home, but because he didn’t have any money in his training clothes, and it was already late at night, and it was difficult to wait for a taxi, he walked forward laughing with his child. In the conversation between the two
, Wen Hao learned that the child's name was Michael Carter. Wen Hao smiled and said: "It's very powerful, the combination of two great gods."
Carter proudly said: "Of course, my dad wanted me to become a superstar like Jordan and Carter, so he gave me this name."
"Your dad is amazing."
"Of course, he is the greatest dad. It's a pity that he died in an accident at a construction site two years ago..." At this point, little Carter fell silent.
Wen Hao was silent for a moment, and he didn't know what to say.
The two walked to a block in silence. Little Carter said it was "less than an hour." Wen Hao thought it would take at least forty or fifty minutes, but in fact they only walked for half an hour. Maybe it was because the child was young and had no idea about time.
The concept of is not very clear. Little Carter seemed to be in a better mood again, waved to Wen Hao and said: "My home is right in front, goodbye, Wen Hao."
Wen Hao waved his hand and watched little Carter walk into the darkness. He stopped for a moment in front of a room in the distance, and then opened the door. Wen Hao was relieved, turned around, and walked slowly
He walked towards the place where he lived. He was very tired after training just now, and his legs could hardly move anymore. Cold and tired, he reluctantly returned to his place, threw himself on the bed and fell asleep.
The next morning, Wen Hao woke up at five o'clock and was already in good spirits, not feeling as tired as last night. This was naturally the result of the point guard's heart. He washed briefly and went to the Toyota Center to complete his daily training.
Task.
While he was training, the official website of the Rockets had announced that a press conference would be held at 12 noon today. When these news came out, the sports reporters were all confused. The Rockets have not done much recently, and they are not playing games.
What press conference?
It was intern Harper who was the first to react: "Wen Hao's ten-day short contract should have expired the day before yesterday. According to league regulations, after the two ten-day short contracts end, if the player wants to be renewed, he must at least sign until the season.
At the end. It seems that the Rockets must sign Wen Hao until the end of the season, because if the contract is not renewed, there will be no need to hold a press conference. It’s great. Wen Hao finally stays with the Rockets, but I don’t know
How much is his contract?" Understanding this, Harper immediately greeted the editor and came to the parking lot. Since his few articles became popular, the editor has applied to the newspaper for Harper
An interview car so he can go to the Rockets whenever he wants.
When Harper arrived at the Toyota Center press conference at 11:30 noon, there were already reporters there in twos and threes. Everyone was asking each other what news the Rockets were going to announce. It seemed that no one knew. Although Harper understood
, but smiled and said nothing. In his heart, he expected that Wen Hao might get a big contract, and he wanted to see the expressions of these reporters when they learned about Wen Hao's contract.
Finally, as it approached twelve o'clock, the entire press conference was already crowded with reporters.
During this period, the Rockets have a pretty good record, occupying the third position in the Western Conference, especially the recent eight-game winning streak, which has become the focus of the media and fans. Therefore, when they knew that the Rockets were going to hold a press conference, many people
Reporters have arrived.
When the hands pointed to twelve o'clock, the reporters all fell silent. After a while, they saw Morey, the general manager of the Rockets, walking in at the entrance. As soon as Morey took his seat, he got straight to the point and said: "I believe everyone is confused.
, what are the Rockets doing by suddenly holding a press conference? It’s actually very simple, we have already renewed the signing of the player Wen Hao from China.”
As soon as this statement came out, the reporters were in an uproar. Although everyone had guessed that the Rockets would definitely keep Wen Hao, when they actually heard the news, they still started talking about it.
General manager Morey pressed his hands out of the air to signal everyone to be quiet, and then continued: "Originally, the press conference for signing players requires the players to be present in person, but Wen Hao has signed with the Rockets twice, and now it is the third time.
, plus he is currently training, so we decided not to disturb him and let me answer everyone's questions. Now everyone can raise their hands to ask questions."
"I..." Harper, who was sitting in the front row, had been waiting for this moment. He was the first to raise his hand, "How big will Wen Hao's contract be?"
As soon as these words came out, the reporters all fell silent. If a player signed a contract, what they were most concerned about was naturally the contract number. But in their hearts they were all guessing:
"One and a half million?"
"Two million?"
"Looking at his recent performance, he should be worth three million."
"Maybe five million. Although this is a bit exaggerated, the Rockets are probably looking at his potential. But it cannot be more than five million. After all, it is just to sign a substitute and it is impossible to spend
Too many, unless Alexander is crazy."
…
Morey looked at the dozens of reporters in the audience and kept smiling. Nearly thirty seconds later, when those reporters became anxious, Morey slowly spoke: "By the end of this season, eight million U.S. dollars.
"
…
As soon as Morey said this, the entire venue fell into silence. All the reporters stared at Morey with wide eyes, so surprised that they almost forgot to breathe. Even those reporters who expected Wen Hao to have a big contract and were waiting to see
Harper, who was so surprised that he forgot to look back, looked at Morey on the stage in astonishment like everyone else. Although he expected that Wen Hao's contract would be huge, he didn't expect that it would be eight million.
So many.
"Oh my god..." After a moment, a reporter finally said it in surprise.
"Eight million, is Alexander crazy?" another reporter shouted.
"Although he has performed very well in recent games, he is only playing as a substitute. If he really plays the main role, his performance may not be so good. His ability has not been fully proven, and he is almost equivalent to Jeremy Lin.
Alexander is really crazy about the contract."
"No, it should be said that his contract is bigger than Jeremy Lin. Jeremy Lin earns an average of 8.37 million per season. Now that the season is less than half over, he has offered 8 million to Chinese Wen. For a player who has just finished his short contract
, this is simply a sky-high price.”
…
The reporters' surprise continued, but Morey once again pressed his hands out of thin air and said: "Listen to me, everyone, although everyone thinks that Wen is not worth this number at the moment, what our Rockets are interested in is not his present, but his current situation.
It is his future and his potential. We believe that he has a potential that is difficult for everyone to estimate. If we look at this potential purely, maybe the Rockets may have found a treasure, just like the original
Parsons is the same as Asik. So we think he fully deserves that number."
