Chapter 98 The younger the better
The group of four drove the Sannata and went straight to the restaurant for dinner.
Davidson hasn't eaten much Chinese food for two years, so he naturally feasted on it and had a great time.
Jiang Xingquan and others were stunned. Is this foreigner famine?
After eating and drinking, Jiang Xingquan took Davidson directly to the Beijing basketball training base.
"Comrade Xiao Dai, this is our training base. There may be a big gap compared to yours. See if there are any suggestions that can help us improve or improve." Jiang Xingquan said with a smile.
Davidson waved his hand quickly, what suggestions could he give...
"Coach Jiang, I'm actually the only thing I'm here this time."
"Oh? What's the matter?" Jiang Xingquan asked curiously.
"I want to choose a new player and play NBA." Davidson said frankly.
Hearing this, Jiang Xingquan's face became strange.
Come to China to choose people and fight NBA?
If Chuck Daly hadn't called in advance, he would have thought the guy in front of him was a liar.
In this era, there are not many Chinese basketball fans, and there are very few people who know some of the American basketball standards.
But insiders like Jiang Xingquan know a lot about American basketball.
He really didn't understand why the other party was thinking about coming to China to choose players.
It's really weird.
"We will study this matter again, and we will take you around to visit first." Jiang Xingquan did not continue Davidson's topic.
After visiting the basketball base, Davidson suggested that he wanted Jiang Xingquan to help introduce Mu Tiezhu.
As a result, Jiang Xingquan agreed to this request quite simply.
Because Mu Tiezhu lives in Beijing now, his residence is not far from the basketball base.
As a result, that night, Davidson sat at the same table with Mu Tiezhu and started drinking...
As he was drunk, Davidson proposed to invite a young Chinese player to play NBA.
Mu Tiezhu was also surprised, and he couldn't figure out why...
"Comrade Xiao Dai, in theory, your request is nothing. It is quite good to let young people go out and learn the advanced basketball philosophy of the United States." Jiang Xingquan said slowly after taking a sip of wine.
"But you will definitely not look down on the poor seedlings. If you have a good seedling, you have to play for the country and play international competitions. If you really want to play against your NBA and affect the national team's performance, no one can bear this responsibility."
"Coach Jiang, in fact, playing against the NBA is beneficial to improving players' strength. If the players have strong strength, they will naturally be able to achieve good results in international competitions. The NBA's schedule does not conflict with international competitions. Fiba also stipulates that when the NBA encounters an international competition, if any player wants to play in a nationality competition, the NBA must release people." Davidson said.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Xingquan waved his hand, "Who said that, what if I was seriously injured when I hit you?"
One sentence left Davidson speechless.
Jiang Xingquan was right. If he encountered serious injuries during the NBA fight, even if the NBA was released, he would not be able to play in the international competition. Who will bear the responsibility?
Davidson originally wanted to say that even if he was injured, the players' salary would still be paid correctly, but after all, this salary is personal interest, and no one would care about the interests of the group.
"Hey, this is really hard to deal with."
"As for what Xingquan said about injury, there is actually no need to worry about this matter. Our own professional leagues will be about to start in a few months. Is there no risk of injury playing these professional leagues?"
"Comrade Xiao Dai's proposal is actually quite beneficial to the players personally, and it can improve the players' strength and make a lot of money. Xing Quan, you should know the salary of top NBA players, right?" Mu Tiezhu sighed and said.
Jiang Xingquan nodded. Who in the circle doesn't know that the NBA salary is so high that it is scary.
The top NBA player has a salary of 30 million US dollars. According to the current exchange rate, it is a small 30 million RMB!
You should know that in this era, the average annual salary of Chinese employees was only more than 3,000 points...
This is still the salary of formal workers. Formal workers in that era were the enviable iron rice bowls of everyone.
The income of a top NBA star is equivalent to the income of 10,000 Chinese formal workers. What a terrifying figure.
The real one is worth ten thousand.
"Tiezhu, I naturally know that the salary there is high. To put it bluntly, that is, I am old now, otherwise I would like to earn this money too. How easy is this money to earn, and I will have no worries about food and clothing for a whole year."
"But we can't take on this responsibility either, so we still have to nod the other side of the basket manager."
"Do you think I don't want my disciples to make more money..." Jiang Xingquan said with a wry smile.
Davidson listened to the conversation between the two and learned a very important news.
That is, China is also going to start a professional league similar to NBA.
Before this, Chinese national team players were selected from their respective provincial teams.
However, because the sport of basketball is very invested and the results are slow, the provincial team has not invested much in basketball in recent years.
Now that China wants to start a professional league, it must be thinking of using battles to support the battle and using professional leagues to train players.
Davidson thought for a while, "Why not do this? I'm just picking a young player and not picking the main players of the national players. In this way, even if I'm really lucky and injured, it won't hurt the men's basketball team."
"And, according to NBA regulations, we will have a transfer fee subsidy of more than 300,000 US dollars by then." Davidson said with a smile.
"Young player? How young are they?" Jiang Xingquan asked curiously.
“The younger the better!”
Davidson knew from the Sledgehammers that the special nature of the upcoming 1995 draft was special, and these people emphasized that Davidson must choose a young one.
Naturally, Davidson would not choose players over 22 years old. His target this time is young players under the age of 20.
Some of the players of this age may have entered the national team, but have not yet become the main players of the national team. Even if they are seriously injured as Jiang Xingquan said, it is harmless to the national team.
If Davidson is targeting the main player of the national team, then there is no need to continue talking about this matter at all, and there is no possibility at all.
"I have a student who plays center forward. He is not yet twenty years old. Why don't you take a look first?" Jiang Xingquan became interested and asked.
"Okay! I'm here this time just to choose a young center." Davidson laughed.
"Then you have a look first. If Comrade Xiao Dai thinks it is appropriate, then I will go to the basket manager to beg for mercy, hoping to sell me, the old guy, for his face." Mu Tiezhu also said with a smile.
Davidson was delighted. It seemed that what his father said to him was right.
It’s easy to do things at the Chinese wine table.
Judging from this situation now, I have at least half of my success.
"Thank you two, I will thank you again in the future." Davidson said excitedly.
The two waved their hands at the same time, "Don't be so polite. Although you are an international friend, you are still in our China. Don't be so disgusting."
