"Hello!"
Su Yan answered the phone.
"Hello, Mr. Su Yan, you finally answered the phone. Otherwise... I was really worried something might have happened to you in Golden State."
On the other end of the phone.
A middle-aged man spoke quickly, his voice sounding a bit agitated.
???
This f*cking... the first call of the morning is cursing me to have an accident, right?
Are you polite?!
Su Yan immediately wanted to hang up.
"Hi~ I was a bit too excited and forgot to introduce myself. My name is Mike Dunleavy, and I am the head coach and general manager of the Los Angeles Clippers.
I apologize for disturbing you during your busy schedule.
I'd like to talk to you about a contract extension. Are you free now?
If not, we can set a time, and I can come to you, no problem."
Su Yan was about to hang up.
Hearing it was a contract extension call from the Los Angeles Clippers, he held back and said indifferently, "Then tell me."
"Thank you for taking your valuable time!"
To be fair.
Aside from the initial somewhat offensive remark, Mike Dunleavy's overall attitude was quite good.
He continued, "First, let me talk about the contract price: 4 years, 20 million US dollars. This is a contract that surpasses that of the third overall pick, James Harden.
His current contract is 4 years, 19 million.
Now, let's talk about the advantages of coming to the Los Angeles Clippers.
Located in Los Angeles, playing in the 'City of Angels,' the second-largest city in the United States, you will quickly accumulate enough popularity.
And your skills are excellent.
I believe you will grow into a top shooter in the league and enter the ranks of superstars in a very short time!
Secondly.
Our team's lineup is very suitable for you: Chris Kaman, DeAndre Jordan, and Marcus Camby.
You just need to shoot from the outside, and the three Centers will protect you.
The implication is: as long as you come to the Los Angeles Clippers, we will cultivate you as the team's sole core!!!
I believe... with you, the Los Angeles Clippers will become the second team in Los Angeles to lift the obrien trophy."
The first, of course, being the Los Angeles Lakers.
Su Yan narrowed his eyes.
I have to say... whether it's the annual salary, the geographical location, the team status, or even the manager's attitude.
Everything was perfect.
Su Yan was a little tempted.
But he wasn't a child, and signing a new contract wasn't child's play; he wouldn't just sign it casually.
"Uh..."
Su Yan pretended to think, and after a moment of contemplation, replied, "The Los Angeles Clippers are very good; they are my ideal next team.
However... it might be a bit too hasty.
I might need a little more time to consider."
"No problem."
Manager Mike Dunleavy had already anticipated Su Yan saying this.
Such a high-quality, era-conforming player must be in high demand and certainly has the right to choose the best option.
He would wait.
He smiled, "Mr. Su Yan, please take your time to consider. I'll call you back in 2 days, and it won't be too late to give me your answer then."
"Thank you!"
"Well, that's all for now. I apologize for disturbing you. Goodbye!"
Beep beep beep~
The call ended!
Su Yan walked out of the elevator and headed towards the self-service area, smiling, "I'm really a bit tempted, should I go to the Los Angeles Clippers?!"
"Hey~ Yan, come and have breakfast!"
As Su Yan arrived at the restaurant, McGrady greeted him warmly and motioned for him to sit beside him.
Su Yan walked over with a smile.
He temporarily put aside thoughts of the contract extension.
How can one be distracted while eating?!
That would truly be uncivilized.
He took three slices of whole wheat bread, a bacon sandwich, a fried egg, a bowl of oatmeal, and a glass of milk.
He sat down with McGrady to eat.
"Su Yan, where did you go for fun last night?!"
McGrady said, taking a bite of bread, his words muffled.
"I also went to Union Square, bought some clothes, had some late-night snacks, and then came back."
Su Yan spoke truthfully.
"What a good kid."
McGrady smiled, noticing the watch on Su Yan's wrist, his eyes lit up, "This is Patek Philippe, one of the world's top luxury watches.
Wow~ it looks so exquisite, quite expensive, isn't it?
Did you buy it last night?"
A star of McGrady's caliber could also live a high-society life and knew a bit about watches.
"Mm."
Su Yan responded, took a sip of oatmeal, and casually said, "It's convenient for checking the time, so I bought one.
Of course.
A man wearing a watch adds a touch of maturity to his demeanor."
He omitted the price.
"That's true."
McGrady couldn't help but nod, "A little bit of charm just comes right up.
I imagine... even if you went to a hotel in your pajamas, countless call girls would flock to you."
"It's not that exaggerated!"
Su Yan smiled and took another sip of milk.
"Really!"
McGrady also laughed, "Women find it hard to resist a handsome man with high Appearance and long legs wearing a luxury watch!!!"
"What are you talking about? So happy."
David Lee walked over at this moment.
Last night, his girlfriend's nurse role-play was too wild, making him unable to resist, and he surrendered in no time.
Damn it, not satisfying!
Next time... he decided to take supplements to enhance himself and fiercely regain his dignity.
10 AM.
He sent Sabina to the airport and returned to the hotel himself, ready to go back to New York with the players.
Seeing everyone eating in the restaurant.
He came over.
As soon as he sat down, he saw the Patek Philippe on Su Yan's wrist, and immediately recognized it as the limited edition Model 1437 that he himself had admired last night.
"Is that the Patek Philippe, the limited edition Model 1437?!"
David Lee exclaimed.
"Mm."
Su Yan nodded casually, took a bite of the fried egg, and said, "Don't tell me... it's still runny in the middle, tastes really good."
"Oh, my god!"
David Lee clutched his head, exclaiming in shock, "This watch is worth 130,000 US dollars.
Yan.
You're really generous."
"WTF?!"
McGrady, who had been relatively calm, now dropped his jaw, "I know Patek Philippe is a top luxury watch.
I thought 30,000 to 50,000 was outrageous.
I didn't expect 130,000! That's enough to buy a standard Mercedes-Benz G-Class, isn't it?!
He's truly generous!"
Larry Hughes also came over upon hearing the commotion, "What Mercedes-Benz G-Class? My car is a Mercedes-Benz G-Class, what's wrong, what's wrong?!"
"There!"
McGrady pouted, pointing to the Patek Philippe on Su Yan's wrist, "This watch is worth 130,000, enough to buy a Mercedes-Benz G-Class."
"Holy shit!"
Larry Hughes's mouth opened wide enough to seemingly fit a light bulb, he exclaimed in shock, "This watch is so expensive?!
Crucially.
My Mercedes-Benz G-Class was only a little over 100,000; 130,000 could buy a luxury version Mercedes-Benz G-Class!!!"
Tsk tsk... I already guessed Su Yan was rich, but I didn't expect him to be this rich.
David Lee sighed inwardly.
It's not that a 130,000 car is expensive.
Rather... buying a 130,000 car is for transportation, a daily necessity, so a good one is fine.
But a watch, hundreds or thousands can be used.
Tens of thousands is already quite luxurious.
130,000 is too exaggerated; only people of the wealthy class would wear such a watch.
McGrady also sighed endlessly, and he completely realized that Su Yan played basketball just to enjoy life!
Some people play basketball, gritting their teeth and risking their lives.
Some people play basketball, enjoying life.
Comparing people to people, it's infuriating!!!
