It’s not that he can waste it at will after getting a salary of more than 200,000 US dollars. Of course, he can do the same. The three-year contract has been signed.

But if I really do that, I guess I will be no different from those rookies who have faded out of the NBA after playing for a year or two.

Back in the bedroom, Pierce had breakfast and came back to play games. This time he came out to accompany Zhang Hao to participate in the talent show, and when he went back, he had to go to his brother's place to train.

However, Pierce did not have to delay time, and she complained, but she really worked hard when training, which can be seen from her obvious weight loss.

Zhang Hao found his three-digit deposit debit card in his bag. He had to go to the bank to apply for cash transfers and then apply for a credit card. Of course, he had to save the money and pay it back after using the credit card. He had to live like this in the United States. He went out with a large amount of cash and bought something and called the police. It was so painful. Last time he sold the tickets, the other party was surprised that he actually asked for cash. It was a loss that there was a bank next to the Great Western Forum Arena.

Bring the contract, get the debit card, and come to the next room. Zhang Hao said to Pierce: "Paul, go shopping."

Pierce responded without looking back: "What are the streets we two poor guys? If you don't go, you will be back to California tomorrow. I have to go to San Diego the day after tomorrow and let me play games for a while."

"Hey, it seems that I can only spend my NBA salary alone. How much does this check cost? Paul, do you think you are as high as you do when you pile it up?"

"Salary? Check!"

Pierce suddenly flipped off the end of the bed, rolled and crawled to Zhang Hao, took away the check that Zhang Hao was waving, looked at it, and was stunned...

More than 210,000 US dollars!

It is a bit difficult to pile up the 100 US dollars to such a high, but it is almost the same for 10 US dollars. Not many Americans will run around with a pile of 100 US dollars in cash. Usually, there are 1 US dollars in wallets, 5 US dollars, 10 US dollars, 20 US dollars, and the large amount is all swiping cards.

Pierce seemed to see the 10 US dollars piled up higher than him...

Shaking his head, Pierce tried to calm himself down.

"Oh my God, are you taking the money back now? Are you crazy? Although you have become an NBA player, you have to have a reasonable asset use plan. There are too many cases where NBA players go bankrupt when they retire..."

Pierce had a feeling that if he didn't come with him this time, the one who would go back to Los Angeles would be Zhang Hao who went bankrupt after making a lot of money.

Being a big brother is really worrying!

This time Pierce's thoughts really surprised Zhang Hao.

Pierce actually knows so much... Wait, this guy has a professional football player elder brother. It seems normal to understand these things. When the brother suffers a loss, he definitely doesn't want his younger brother who also has the potential to suffer any more.

"Paul, that's what it is..." Zhang Hao interrupted Pierce and began to explain what the NBA has confirmed to be shut down.

After hearing Zhang Hao's words, Pierce breathed a little relieved. He knew something about this, and he knew more than Zhang Hao had before, but he didn't know that the situation had reached this point, and he thought it would be solved as smoothly as last year.

But Pierce was still worried and continued, "You save this money. I won't spend your money. I will enter the NBA myself in the future. I will buy whatever I want."

"Yes, yes, yes, I know, but I've entered the NBA. We have to buy a beautiful outfit, right? We have to buy a gift for our aunt, right?"

"This is OK, wait, I'll call my brother... Do you think the Nets will pay for us?"

“…I think I can…”

...

I went to the bank with a debit card to apply for a check cash. Zhang Hao originally thought that he wanted to ask these two high school students who were very poor in dressing to go to the bank and were looked down upon, and then pretended to be a cheque. As a result, people knew him...

Live broadcast across the United States! The ninth pick rookie!

In the NBA Draft held in New York, many people know about him in this city. At least, many people will remember him in a short period of time. Of course, it may not be necessary over time. There are so many rookies every year.

When they entered the bank, the sharp-eyed manager took Zhang Hao and Pierce to the VIP lounge, and they got things done in just a few seconds. They just needed to drink coffee and wait.

Since the Demon Birds era, in recent years, all NBA players have become high-income groups. Even if they are basic-paying players, as long as they have a guaranteed contract, their annual salary is more than 300,000 US dollars. The first round rookies have a guaranteed contract since the labor-management agreement in 1988. Any bank they go to is a big customer... Of course, it is when there is still money in the contract period or in the account.

After getting the credit card, Zhang Hao and Pierce took a taxi to a mall and bought some things.

Zhang Hao thought that money was money, and things outside of him had to be used when they should be used, but Pierce firmly denied Zhang Hao's layout. The two spent only a few hundred dollars to buy clothes. They bought clothes they usually wore, not the kind that Zhang Hao wanted to wear; the gifts they bought were not that expensive, but a beautiful skirt that Pierce heard his mother say.

I went out with the pride of "spending money" and spent more than 1,000 US dollars to get it done...

However, after buying things, Zhang Hao's urge to "what should I spend it when I have money" calmed down.

Thanks to Pierce, otherwise Zhang Hao would have become a nouveau riche in the eyes of others.

I returned to the hotel with a few shopping bags and prepared to put the things in place and go for lunch. This time I definitely didn’t go to eat pizza. I had a good meal. Pierce didn’t think Zhang Hao wasted. It was a waste to buy things that were not needed. I had to eat well.

But as soon as I walked into the hotel lobby, I saw a few acquaintances and cameras.

Xu Jichengcai was in his 30s and felt that he had white hair. When he saw Zhang Hao, he hurried up and said with a resentful look on his face: "Aix, I'm waiting for you so hard..."

How cunning is it that a man in his thirties with thick eyebrows, a national face, and a fine beard who has a grievance expression?

Zhang Hao felt it again.

When he saw Xu Jicheng, he suddenly remembered that yesterday, before the draft, he accepted an exclusive interview with the imperial court. At that time, he said that his goal was to be selected in the first round, and then made an appointment to accept an exclusive interview again after the draft, and the result...

He was like Fan Jin passed the exam, except that he was not crazy... and Le was crazy, and he couldn't even speak clearly, so he decided to interview this morning, but he signed the contract and was so excited that he forgot about this matter.

Fortunately, it is the daytime in New York now, and it is nighttime in China. As long as the daytime interview is completed, domestic news can still be broadcast as usual tomorrow morning and will not delay any trouble.

After all, the interview was successfully conducted. Xu Jicheng was already very satisfied when he was far away from a foreign country. It was not easy for everyone to do abroad these days. He could think of how much hardship Zhang Hao, a Chinese student, suffered in the United States, and how much effort it took to successfully enter the NBA.

As a young basketball player in China, although Xu Jicheng cannot become a professional basketball player, he also wants to help Chinese basketball in his own way.

Thinking that Zhang Hao was alone in the world's top basketball circle in the United States, there were still some people in China who were ignorant of personnel and wanted to make trouble. Just let it go if the layman was in charge of the experts. I found that there were domestic players who were not their organization and they wanted to suppress Zhang Hao's popularity in China...

Although the Blue Association can give face if you say hello to Xinhua News Agency, if you don’t give it, the Blue Association has no choice. The Sports News Department of Xinhua News Agency does not intend to give face this time.

Therefore, Zhang Hao was selected by the 9th pick last night and was a little bit awarded. Xinhua News Agency and the dynasty sports station did not report back to China. Instead, Zhang Hao was too busy after being selected, so he pushed him to the next day before he conducted an exclusive interview. Last night, he only reported that Zhang Hao was selected by the 9th pick.

Zhang Hao did feel that he was doing something wrong, so he invited Xu Jicheng and his group to have lunch. Xu Jicheng couldn't refuse. He thought that Zhang Hao was rich anyway, so he went to eat. His little salary was not a problem except for the normal travel expenses he received. He was really distressed to have a meal in the United States.

After lunch, Pierce returned to the hotel. Zhang Hao, Xinhua News Agency, and a group of people from the imperial court came to Madison Square Garden for an interview again.

After the interview was about to be completed, the camera began to record the video. Xu Jicheng told a story about Zhang Hao being selected, which geniuses were beaten in the ninth pick, how rare it was to be selected for the high school draft... After waiting for something, he started the interview and asked: "You are the first Asian to be selected in the first round of the NBA. Why did you choose to skip college and enter the NBA? I heard that more than a dozen top universities invited you to join."

Xu Jicheng directly expanded China into Asia. Zhang Hao can understand this... Compared to the pre-draft, he needed to be a little low-key. Now Zhang Hao is not low-key and said directly: "A good horse will not go back. I have applied to join those universities before, but they refused. They all play basketball, and playing in the NBA is more attractive to me."

"The 9th pick is selected, what are your goals after joining the Nets?"

"First gain a foothold in the NBA and find my place."

Without floating and down-to-earth feeling, Xu Jicheng's impression of Zhang Hao was improved a little more and continued to ask: "The NBA is likely to be suspended this summer. There are reports that the Las Vegas Summer League has been cancelled, and the Orlando Summer League may also be cancelled. Can you reveal your plans for this summer? Are you ready to go back to China for a rest?"

"I won't go back this summer. I want to train hard this summer, polish my skills, and strive to get a stable playing time as soon as possible next season. I also need to consider where to go to college and communicate well with the school. After all, I can't study in school for a long time, and rest is too luxurious for me."

"Do you have any attention to domestic basketball? Do you think there are any domestic players who are likely to enter the NBA?"

"I think there will be players entering the NBA soon. Before, we also had players selected by NBA players. Although it was the third round, we also had a chance. Unfortunately, he suffered a major injury at the age of 21 and unfortunately failed to join the Hawks.
