The King of the NBA

"With our current lineup, if we run it properly, we should be able to accomplish a lot this season." Ning Yi thought in his mind that in terms of lineup, the Timberwolves are very good now. The starting lineup is competitive and the bench is deep enough, but the lineup has changed a lot. Break-in will be a matter of verification.

There is also the use of Baibian, Jokic and others. Ning Yi feels that it is necessary to have a good talk with Coach Adelman.

Although Coach Adelman has experience, his understanding of Baibian, Jokic, and Clarkson is definitely not as good as that of Ning Yi, who has "foresight". During the training process, it is inevitable that he will take some detours.

If you have your own reminder, it will save them a lot of detours.

In this way, players such as Baibian, Jokic, and Clarkson can realize their talents faster and form a real combat effectiveness.

This is also a key factor in how far the Timberwolves can go this year.

"Don't worry about Jokic. As long as you give him enough opportunities, nothing else will matter. On the contrary, Baibian and Clarkson are much inferior to Jokic in terms of talent, and their skills are not comprehensive enough. They even have obvious shortcomings. "Ning Yi feels that we should start to correct the problems of Baibian and Clarkson from now on.

Whiteside's rebounding ability is very strong, but the offensive method is single, and because of the single offensive method, there is no way to be selective and more reasonable to attack, including defense.

This also makes him vulnerable to injury.

Clarkson has more offensive methods. He can break through and shoot. He can shoot three-pointers and two-pointers, but the problem is that he is not specialized. His physical resistance is weak. deflated. As for shooting, he can shoot three-pointers and two-pointers, but neither is good enough. He is not that kind of star player. Instead, he might as well learn from Nick Young and Jr. Smith and focus on three-pointers. This may be better.

Another point is that there is a problem with Clarkson's offensive selection. He likes to stick to the ball and like to break through, but his confrontation ability is poor, and the lethality of breakthrough is not enough. This is also a shortcoming.

Fortunately, Clarkson has just entered the NBA and is still a rookie. It is not too late to start improving these problems now.

"Ning, Ning," Sanders called.

Ning Yi came back to his senses, smiled and said: "Sorry, I was distracted just now."

"It's okay." Sanders said with an eager smile on his face, "Ning, I think, should we talk about your contract extension?"

The relationship is for this, no wonder Sanders is so enthusiastic today, Ning Yi suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "Yes, I will call my agent."

Sanders breathed a sigh of relief. Although Ning Yi asked Downey to reply to him some time ago, Sanders felt uneasy for a day without signing the contract.

Ning Yi informed Downey that Sanders also went to arrange for someone to prepare the contract.

Soon everyone from both sides arrived, and everyone came to Sanders' office.

On Ning Yi's side, there are Ning Yi, Downey, Jenna, and a lawyer brought by Downey. On the Timberwolves' side, there are Sanders and two team managers. In addition, they are also preparing to got a lawyer.

"Ning, this is the contract, please take a look." Sanders handed Ning Yi a contract and said: "If you have any objections, you can raise them, and if you are not satisfied, you can also raise them. We reached an agreement through negotiation. Afterwards, it can be amended immediately."

Ning Yi nodded, opened it and read it again, then handed it to Downey and Jenna to read it too.

In fact, Ning Yi has read this contract a long time ago, Sanders has already faxed it to Downey, and Downey asked Jenna to show it to Ning Yi, but that was then, now is now, sign the contract It's not a trivial matter, not to mention this kind of tens of millions of dollars in contracts, even if you have seen it before, you must read it carefully at this time.

After a while, Donnie and Jenna also finished watching.

After the two finished reading, they handed the contract to the lawyer and discussed in low voices for a while. After the lawyer replied that the contract was fine, Downey said, "Ning, there's nothing wrong with the contract."

This contract is a 3+1 contract, and the last year is a player option, with a total value of 44 million US dollars, which is 3 million US dollars more than the offer made by the Timberwolves some time ago.

This was the result of Downey's negotiation with the Timberwolves. As an agent, Downey naturally couldn't agree to whatever the Timberwolves offered, and there was always some bargaining.

44 million U.S. dollars in 4 years, with an average of 11 million U.S. dollars a year, which is already pretty good!

"Mr. Sanders, I have no objection." Ning Yi smiled.

"Okay, let's sign the contract now." Sanders said in succession.

At the moment, under the witness of the legal staff, Ning Yi signed a contract extension with the Timberwolves and formally renewed his contract with the Timberwolves. If he is not traded, he will spend at least three years in Minnesota.

The contract was signed, and Sanders was finally relieved.

"Ning, we will hold a press conference tomorrow." Sanders told Ning Yi that a press conference will be held tomorrow to announce the renewal of the contract with Ning Yi, which requires Ning Yi to attend.

"Okay, I will be there on time tomorrow." Ning Yi smiled and shook hands with Sanders.

The press conference will be held tomorrow, but the contract has already been signed, so there is no need to keep it secret. Soon all the Timberwolves players will know about the renewal of Ning Yi's contract with the team.

Everyone congratulated Ning Yi one after another. Dieng and Shabaci were even more envious. They were both rookies in the same year. Ning Yi will start to get an annual salary of tens of millions, and they will not be able to get a salary of tens of millions in the next two or three years. .

Dion even joked that he should have given up the draft.

Of course, this is just a joke. No rookie will give up the draft and use Ning Yi to enter the league, because no one can predict the future, even if he is talented and amazing, he will never take this risky path .

Like Ning Yi, it is unique and almost impossible to copy.

On this day, Ning Yi treats guests and invites everyone to have a big meal.

The next day, the Timberwolves held a press conference and announced that they had officially renewed Ning Yi's contract, dispelling other teams that had the intention of recruiting Ning Yi.

Ning Yi attended the press conference and also answered some questions from the media.

A press conference is over, but the outside world is still talking about it. Ning Yi renewed his contract, plus Love, Martin, and Rubio. Although Pekovic is gone, there is an extra Evan Turner. Turner last The 76ers averaged 17 points per game this season, and his arrival made up for this very well.

In addition, Maurice Williams and Jarrett Jack joined.

There is no doubt that the Timberwolves are stronger.

But no one would have thought that it was not Maurice Williams, Jarrett Jack, or even Evan Turner that really increased the strength of the Timberwolves, but Hassan Whiteside, Nicola Jokic, and Jordan Clarkson, the three newcomers.
