The King of the NBA

China.

Five sets of sports, in the live broadcast room.

"Friends in the audience, today's game is over. The Timberwolves defeated the Thunder 120:114." Su Qun said, looking at Zhang Weiping, "Director Zhang, what do you think of Ning Yi's performance today?"

Zhang Weiping said: "Today Ning Yi scored 18 points, 2 rebounds, and 5 assists, among which the assists were a new season high. From the statistics, he played very well." After a pause, Zhang Weiping changed his tone, "However, today's game can also reflect some of Ning Yi's current problems. Especially in the last few minutes, he didn't play well and gave the opponent a lot of opportunities. Fortunately, Love and Martin are in charge, otherwise the final outcome will be terrible. How, it’s really hard to say.”

Su Qun nodded and said: "Ning Yi didn't play very well in the last few minutes. But this is his second regular season game, so it's understandable."

"Yes." Zhang Weiping said: "Ning Yi is still young. This is his second regular season game. The last few minutes are a special time. It is understandable that he didn't play well."

"But there is one thing, that is defense!"

"Ning Yi's defense has always been a problem. Durant scored 34 points today. Although not all of them were scored on Ning Yi's head, he also scored a lot of points on Ning Yi's head."

"On the offensive end, Ning Yi keeps surprising us, and the statistics are also very gratifying. But on the defensive end, he still needs to improve, especially his confrontation ability." Zhang Weiping said: "Nba is a highly competitive and high-level team. Platform, if Ning Yi wants to gain a firm foothold, continue this performance, and defend this point, there is no way around it."

"Of course, Su Qun, you also said that he is still young, and we should give him more time and opportunities. Coach Adelman should think the same way, so Ning Yi was not allowed to play in the last few minutes. This is exercising he."

"What does this mean?"

"This shows that Adelman values ​​Ning Yi very much, which is a good thing." Zhang Weiping said.

Su Qun nodded repeatedly. Zhang Weiping's analysis was very objective and reasonable. He did not praise Ning Yi unilaterally for scoring 18 points, nor did he reprimand him for his poor performance in the last few minutes.

In general, he sees it very thoroughly, and what he said is also true. Ning Yi wants to improve, improve, and really gain a foothold in the nba. Defense is a big problem.

United States, Minnesota.

In the Timberwolves locker room, everyone was very excited.

The reason why I am excited is not because I defeated the Thunder today, but because today is the 1st, the 1st of every month, and the 15th is the day when the salary is paid. The finance has already prepared the salary slip, waiting for everyone to sign.

NBA players sign with an annual salary, which is how much US dollars a year, but in fact the salary is paid on a semi-monthly basis, that is, the salary is paid every two weeks on average, usually on the 1st and 15th of each month.

One year's salary, except for some taxes and deductions, will be converted into 24 installments, issued every half a month, and the financial staff will print out the salary slip details, waiting for the players to sign.

You know, nba players are all rich people, even half a month's salary is not a small sum, especially some star players.

Taking the Timberwolves as an example, Love is the core of the team. The annual salary for the 13-14 season is 16.29 million US dollars, which is converted into 24 periods, which means that the salary every half month is almost 610,000 US dollars, after deducting some taxes, fines, etc. . After these deductions, there is almost 500,000 US dollars.

500,000 US dollars is equivalent to more than three million Huaxia coins. For ordinary people, this is a huge sum of money.

But in the nba, this is only half a month's income of the players. It can be seen that the saying that nba players are rich is true. When they stand on this stage, their income will not be too low.

This is just the salary, there are bonuses, in addition to various endorsement contracts, advertising revenue and so on.

So so many players are willing to play in the NBA. Unless they can't play in the NBA, they seldom go to other leagues. First, it is because of the stage, and second, it is because of the interests.

"Ning." The accountant yelled, and handed over a salary slip, "This is yours, confirm it, and sign it if there is no problem, and the salary will be credited to your card at noon tomorrow at the latest."

"Okay." Ning Yi came back to his senses and nodded.

He is still reminiscing about the game just now, especially the last few minutes, which touched him a lot.

The entire rhythm and atmosphere of the game changed in those few minutes, which made him a little uncomfortable. When the game is over, Ning Yi has been reminiscing about those few minutes, analyzing, thinking, summarizing, and learning.

This is necessary.

When he came back to his senses at this time, Ning Yi looked at the salary slip in his hand and couldn't help being a little excited. His salary was not much, less than one hundred thousand dollars, which was incomparable with people like Love and Martin.

But if it is compared to ordinary people, it is very impressive.

"98,000 U.S. dollars, oh, including a part of the bonus." Ning Yi's eyes lit up, "Hey, the NBA is rich and powerful." 98,000 U.S. dollars, almost equal to 650,000 Huaxia coins, on top of his salary for the year before crossing .

Ning Yi looked at other people and found that Love and Martin were very calm. They just glanced at them, signed, and then basically threw them aside. The two sat together and chatted about something.

"A rich man." Ning Yi sighed.

Le Fu's annual salary is in the tens of millions, and if there are no accidents, his annual salary will only increase in the future, and will not decrease. He definitely doesn't care about this little money. As for Martin, he also received tens of millions of annual salary in the Rockets before, and his salary has dropped a bit when he came to the Timberwolves, but he obviously doesn't care much about this little money.

What's more, people have long been used to it.

But Pekovic, he is the only Timberwolves other than Love who earns an annual salary of tens of millions, but he is not as happy as Love, Martin, and the others.

This is not to say that Pekovic is not promising, but that his annual salary was only 4.82 million last year, and this year it directly rose to 12.1 million, which is more than doubled. How can he not be excited?

Everyone else was just as happy.

Ning Yi withdrew his gaze and wondered whether he should change his residence. The team rented that apartment for him when he came to try out. At that time, he didn’t know whether Ning Yi could stay, so he rented it. The house is just passable. Now that he has stayed in the Timberwolves, Ning Yi has no reason not to let himself live more comfortably.

In fact, Ning Yi is not keen on enjoying it.

Ning Yi's parents died in a car accident when he was in middle school. Before they left, they left him a sum of money. Ning Yi used the money to study in the United States. His life was not too bad, but he was not rich either. He suffered hardships while studying, and he also enjoyed it before time travelling. He has experienced both, so he is not so keen on these things.

But with money in hand, why not make yourself more comfortable?

Of course, Ning Yi didn't have time to take care of these things. He threw the bank card to Downey, let Downey handle it, and boarded the plane to New York with his teammates-they will play away against the Knicks in the next game!
