Spoelstra naturally wouldn't tell the real reason. When Jiang Hao asked this question, he just laughed it off:

"Whether you can play a role depends on your performance in the training camp and your adaptability to the team. Young man, take your time. Don't rush."

He couldn't say at the beginning that two-way contracts and players in the Development League can only sit on the bench, right? This would be too discouraging for the players.

After that, they talked a little about Jiang Hao's family and hometown, which Jiang Hao was very familiar with.

The standard words for leaders and employees to get closer are the same all over the world.

However, compared with Riley, Spoelstra is less sharp and more elegant and easy-going. His slow conversation makes it easier for players to open up to him.

The last part of this conversation is the most crucial:

"Let me repeat our verbal agreement: we only have one draft pick, and you know it's not for you, but if you are not selected, we will sign you 100%, with a one-year two-way contract, and you will be included in the 15-man roster for the start of the season.

Of course, we will not limit your chances of finding a team. If you can get a draft guarantee from another team, I will definitely congratulate you!"

This is a verbal agreement, and it also leaves a way out for each other.

If a team selects Jiang Hao in the draft, there is nothing wrong with it.

If no one selects him, he can only sign with the Heat after being undrafted.

There is still a big difference between undrafted and second-round picks. Second-round picks are at least one of the 60 strongest young people in the world this year, and will always be recorded in the history of the NBA. Undrafted players entering the NBA are pure "grassroots".

Spoelstra naturally knows that every year rookies still hope to have a draft pick guarantee. Who doesn't want to be read out by the NBA president and vice president on TV? This vanity and sense of ceremony are what everyone wants.

In the end, even though he didn't say that Jiang Hao was acting as a simulated meat shield for the Big Three, he still made one thing clear to Jiang Hao. Two-way contract players usually travel between the Development League and the home team, and they have to always have a bus card.

In short, don't expect playing time.

"Okay, there are still a few days, maybe a team will suddenly cut me off."

What Spo didn't expect was that Jiang Hao was very calm and joked.

"Hahaha, you are very humorous, if that's the case, then I will definitely applaud you! You must have more playing time in other teams than in our team."

Spo, who is in the Eastern Conference champion Heat, is confident that all rookies should like playing in the Heat, but he didn't expect Jiang Hao to look for a job the next day

Because just after defeating James Jones, the system popped up a reward! !

His strength doesn't mean that he can only stay at this level! ! !

He opened the reward before entering Spo's office.

With this reward mechanism, Jiang Hao's ambition is to compete with Kyrie Irving! ! ! !

Please add it to the bookshelf and ask for recommendation votes~

Chapter 11 11: Reward three-point shooting skills, rush to Orlando

In fact, after he finished the single-handed match against James Jones, his mind "ding" sounded.

It was just that at that time he was busy watching James Jones beat Butler, so he didn't watch it immediately.

It wasn't until Juwan Howard asked them to wait for the head coach to come for guidance that he entered his mind and took a look.

Open the unread message.

It turned out to be a system reward given by the opponent's CBA system!

[Ding! ]

[Congratulations to the host, completing the achievement: first single-handed victory over an NBA player]

[Obtained system reward: James Jones' three-point shooting ability bonus, the host will permanently obtain James Jones' three-point shooting skills! ! ]

"Wow, the three-point shooting technique has improved!"

"System brother, you still have a conscience."

This reward is even happier than Jiang Hao getting the Heat contract, because it proves that the system really gives feedback.

And it is the kind of feedback he can never practice.

Compared to the three-point shooting ability of James Jones that may only be achieved after 10 years of hard training, or even a lifetime of training, this first reward from the system will make his upcoming career much easier, at least it won’t be as embarrassing as today’s shot.

Today, let alone 3 points, he didn’t even dare to take a few mid-range shots, it was too unstable.

Judging from the system rewards, this will get the basketball skills of the opposing players? ? ?

Thinking of this, Jiang Hao wanted to go down and fight with Bo Yang next to him, maybe he would drop Bo Yang’s combined ability of breakthrough and shooting?

After all, Bo Yang can make Jordan curse with a breakthrough!

“Then can I still get the skill pack dropped by him when I fight with other NBA players?”

[The system will generate rewards based on the basketball achievements obtained by the host. 】

“Okay. I still have to rely on myself. I should have challenged LeBron first.”

Jiang Hao’s ideals were shattered. It is estimated that he will have to win the first NBA game and score 20+ in the first single game to get the reward.

But James Jones is also good, which is the best solution for Jiang Hao now.

All of LeBron James' abilities come from his bull-like body, but his skills are not that great.

Let alone whether he can win in a one-on-one match, what if he loses a three-point shooting package of LeBron? ? That would be a waste.

He doesn't want to learn the ugly shooting moves of the little emperor.

He will know after this reward, and the achievement is to win more games.

If you want to get a good reward, you have to play against the big guys more often. The reward you get is likely to be basketball skills from the big guys. The basketball skills of the big guys, unless they are extremely extreme like LeBron, are basically not bad! !

Although I haven't tried James Jones' three-point shooting skills, I absolutely trust him! !

This year's three-point contest champion

Cold-blooded buzzer-beater, shooting master Reggie Miller's good friend

ESPN experts rated him as one of the NBA players with the most standard shooting posture, second only to Alan Houston

Ray Allen and Mike Miller were praised by LeBron as the best shooters in the world before coming to the Heat

Career average of 42.3% three-point shooting rate.

Jiang Hao knew that the gimmicks about the three-point ability of Zhan Qiong were enough to bluff people, but what Jiang Hao believed most was what he had just witnessed.

Seeing is believing, and hearing is deceiving. He just played against him in person and experienced his shooting skills and the smooth three-point shots when he beat Bojan later.

Steady, accurate and ruthless!

Although James Jones is not the league's top shooter, he is definitely a reliable three-pointer!

The system did not provide data, but ESPN's NBA data network has data. Jiang Hao later checked with his mobile phone. James Jones' open three-pointer rate is in the top 5 in the league, that's enough.

Better than me, that's all.

He is better than Jiang Hao, who only had a 35.6% three-pointer hit rate in the CBA in his previous life.

It was this reward that made Jiang Hao want to continue to try the "outside world".

It's not that I don't like the Heat. Who doesn't like to win a championship ring?

It's just that the two-way contract given by the Heat is a guaranteed contract.

It doesn't matter if the money is small, but it is very likely that he can't play in the playoffs!

What's the point!

Now Jiang Hao has more three-point confidence, it's better to get a pure rookie guaranteed contract.

Spoelstra and others thought that Jiang Hao didn't know because he didn't have an agent, but in fact, Jiang Hao knew very well that the two-way contract was not necessarily in the 15-man roster as they said.

According to the rules updated by the league last year, each team can sign one player with a two-way contract in addition to the 15-man roster, which means that each team can actually sign up to 16 players at most. Of course, most teams recruit 15 players.

The amount of this type of contract is 50% of the rookie base salary, which is about $249,000. Players under a two-way contract can only participate in 82 regular season games at most.

But how can I say it? Players with average performance on ordinary contracts cannot play in the playoffs. Most of the first-round picks of strong teams also had no chance to play in the playoffs in the past few years.

But if you are awesome, the management will definitely convert the two-way contract into an NBA regular contract before the trade deadline so that you can play in the playoffs.

Jiang Hao is confident that he can prove himself in one season.

It's just that Jiang Hao is a person who will not be forced to wait. He likes to have his destiny in his own hands.

So after talking with Spo, he resolutely continued to attack! ! !

You said that you can find another opportunity, then I must find it!

He is no longer the obedient sheep who just graduated from school in his previous life. Lao Hu told him that he would succeed if he could enter the NBA, no matter which team.

Now it is different. Jiang Hao wants to enter the NBA and play!

It is different when you have confidence!

Let's go!

Jiang Hao didn't even stay in Miami for a night. After leaving the American Airlines Arena, he took the phone book given by Carlisle and made a few calls before taking a red-eye flight to Orlando.

However, the reality is harsh. Jiang Hao, who encountered obstacles everywhere in the phone call process, was taught another lesson.

The first lesson was Jaylen Williams playing word games with James, and the second lesson was learning the "Tai Chi" rhetoric of each team.
