Super Lord of the Rings

Chapter 116 [New York Trip]

Wang Jun signed a contract with Ryan Hughes and fully trusted the Hornacek family.

Hughes took a 2% cut, and the asking price was not high, and it was also for David's face.

Then, Hughes began to understand the initial intentions. "Wang, do you have a team you want to go to?"

"I want to go to New York."

David glanced at his granddaughter and laughed dryly. Before Wang Jun always wanted to go to the Jazz, he knew it.

Abby lowered her head and said nothing, her face was a little red.

Hughes didn't know that Wang Jun was looking for a beauty, and thought he wanted to go to a big city, so he immediately poured cold water on him.

"This is not a good choice. It is difficult for the opponent to choose you. On the one hand, on the other hand, you may not have playing time if you go."

"Why?" Wang Jun frowned.

Hughes immediately explained that he is very familiar with the situation of the NBA teams. "The Knicks' shooting guard is Alan Houston. He just signed a six-year, 100 million contract with the Knicks in 2001. This season, he averaged 22 points per game and played 38 minutes. If you go there, you must be on the bench. This is their deal this summer. Sprewell's premise, if there's no deal, you're on the fringes."

Wang Jun also knows these two. In 1999, the New York Double Guns reached the finals.

"Madman" Sprewell was fined $250,000 by the Knicks last season for breaking a bone while playing on his luxury yacht. The "madman" refused to accept it, and sued the players' association, and he was almost set to leave in Xia Tian.

But even with only Houston, Wang Jun couldn't get much playing time.

David looked at the two young men and said earnestly: "Wang, the rookie period is very important. You should find a team that suits you, can get stable playing time, and lacks pitchers and shooting guards. Only in this way can you play well. Many people with potential, the team they expected when they were rookies was not suitable for them, and they were forced to change, and their talents were wasted."

He didn't beat mandarin ducks with a stick, the fact was just the opposite. David was very optimistic about Wang Jun, and thought it would be good for his granddaughter to fall in love with him, and his character was trustworthy.

But since Wang Jun plays in the NBA, he is destined to put his career first.

Sons and daughters love each other, but heroes are short of breath. He could have been a star, but it would be a pity if he only played at the level of a role player in the end.

Wang Jun didn't dare to look at Abby, and asked Hughes, "Then what team do you think I'm suitable for?"

Hughes thought for a while and replied: "Denver Nuggets, the team has a poor record, lacks good shooting guards, lacks shooters, lacks everything, you will definitely get a chance, and even become a starter."

What a lousy team, never heard of it.

Wang Jun, who doesn't often watch the NBA, is unfamiliar with the name Nuggets. It's no wonder why the teams that can't make the playoffs have anything to pay attention to?

"do you have anything else?"

"Dallas Mavericks, this might be the best team for you. Their No. 2 is Adrian Griffin, a defensive blue-collar, you go and you can help the team, maybe even start, their lineup is very Strong, hopeful to win the championship."

David agrees with Hughes. "Wang, the three stars of the Mavericks, point guard Nash, small forward Michael Finley, and power forward Nowitzki, all three of them can shoot three-pointers. If you add you, the starting four three-pointers can be completely opened Space. The new season will be strong."

The Mavericks center is weak, but with four pitchers, it is enough for the center to defend. In the summer, they still have the possibility to continue to strengthen the lineup, because the boss Cuban is a well-known local tyrant and he is not short of money.

"Lei, I need your help." Wang Jun is interested in the Mavericks, mainly because he heard that they can win the championship. Who wouldn't want to get the championship ring?

"Don't worry, I'll let you go to a promising team."

After finalizing the agent, Wang Jun accompanied Abby to New York.

With the help of Xia Bowen's father, Abby easily found a suitable apartment in Manhattan.

Except for Manhattan, the law and order in other places in New York is not very good. Much of Brooklyn and Queens are messy, let alone the Bronx,

There are black people selling CDs in the downtown area, and they are targeting foreign tourists, which is very scary.

Abby signed a three-year contract and usually works in Manhattan, and she will be accompanied by colleagues when traveling for interviews.

Wang Jun accompanied Abby to New York, on the one hand, he wanted to meet Xia Bowen's father, treat him to dinner, and express his gratitude.

When Vivek's company reported NCAA news, it said a lot of good things about Wang Jun, which raised his attention. Especially the elimination of Kentucky, the publicity was very good, and all NBA teams knew about him.

Vivek was not polite, and brought his family to the appointment. In addition to his wife Niha, his son Xia Baowen, and his youngest daughter Ajiali.

The six of us went to eat Italian food, the "Mother of Western Food".

After the dishes were served, Wang Jun toasted with a toast. "Mr. Ranadive, thank you and Xia Bowen for your support and help during this time. I will never forget this love."

"You're welcome. I'm in this industry. If you have news to dig out, you should report it. This is a win-win situation. I'm very optimistic about your future prospects." Vivek smiled.

He is very thin, with big eyes, not a typical Indian appearance, and looks a bit like the famous comedian Mr. Bean in profile. Fortunately, both Xia Bowen and his 11-year-old sister look like their mother, otherwise it would be over.

Vivek toasted: "I wish you the best of luck in the NBA if you get drafted by New York or Los Angeles."

"thanks."

People who are bosses like to consider commercial value. Vivek happened to be an NBA fan, and he talked about the prices of each team during the meal.

The basketball market considers the population first, and the economic level second. Although some cities are not very big, they actually have the function of a metropolis because they have become the center of the urban belt in the surrounding area. Miami, for example, has a smaller population than Oklahoma City alone.

There are also some cities that look huge but are not actually megalopolises. The most typical example is San Antonio, whose urban population ranks sixth in the United States, but its economy is not good.

In all aspects, the Knicks and the Lakers are well-deserved rich and handsome teams, the owner is super powerful, and money is not a problem.

New York's economy is even much stronger than that of Los Angeles, but because Los Angeles has no NFL team, the gap is evened out.

After chatting about basketball for a while, Vivek mentioned investment and asked Wang Jun and Abby if they were interested in making money.

When Wang Jun heard about making money, his eyes lit up. "Of course I'm interested, should I still buy stocks?"

"No, I know two friends. Their companies are very promising. If all goes well, they can be listed on NASDAQ in 2004. They are Internet search engines, and I also invested a small part."

"Are you sure you can make money?" Wang Jun asked.

Vivek nodded and said with a smile: "Of course, as long as you buy the shares now and sell the shares after listing, I'm not sure how much you'll make. It's possible to double it. You can investigate. In 2000, that company became the largest Internet search engine, and both Yahoo and Microsoft recognized their potential and joined forces."

Abby is also interested: "What company?"

"Google."

Google has already passed the most difficult stage. It has no shortage of money and has grown stronger. The price of buying shares is relatively high now, but Vivek believes that he can make money before going public.

Wang Jun didn't have much money on hand, and Abby was going to inform his family that Jeff Hornacek had a lot of spare money to invest.

Every word of a Wall Street tycoon is precious, and this meal is so worth it.
