    Chapter 112: Before the Eastern Conference Finals

    During the 2007-2008 season, in the summer, the hottest topic was the Celtics, who formed the Big Three. A month later, the hottest topic became the emergence of super rookie Zhang Kong.  Halfway through the season, the hottest topic was that Kupchak¡¯s series of operations helped the Lakers complete the reorganization of the championship lineup. And in the playoffs, the hottest topic once again became Zhang Kong, but this time it has become  It's just 'Zhang Kong, the league's best interior rookie in the past 30 years'.

    "A center that emerges every twenty years"

    "Future Rulers of the Alliance"

    "The future overlord of NBA insiders"

    "The No. 1 Center in NBA"

    " Various honors that were originally placed on Greg Oden's head were transferred intact to Zhang Kong's head by the media.

    Throughout the decades since the alliance was established, the influx of high-quality insiders has been like an endless stream of crucian carp crossing the river.  But there are very few who can reach the level of Zhang Kong in his rookie season.

    ? In detail, Zhang Kong¡¯s regular season averages this season are 22.5 points, 21.8 rebounds, 5.7 assists, 4.5 blocks, and 1.0 steals.  Being able to score such data in his rookie season can be counted on one hand in the entire NBA.

    In fact, it is not impossible to find a rookie whose performance in his rookie season surpasses Zhang Kong.  First, Oscar Robertson, nicknamed 'Big O', is the league's historical triple-double king. He has scored a total of 181 triple-doubles in his career. In fact, if it weren't for the league's quadruple-doubles, it wouldn't be until the 1973-1974 season.  According to the statistics, 'Big O' should also be the four-double king in the history of the league.

    In his rookie season, ¡®Big O¡¯ Robertson averaged 30.1 points, 10.1 rebounds and 9.7 assists per game, which was extremely close to averaging a triple-double per game.

    The other one is the Great Big Dipper that has been nailed to the farthest North Star in NBA history and is said to be impossible to surpass, Wilt Chamberlain.  His rookie season averages of 37.3 points and 27 rebounds per game are astounding even to Zhang Kong now. He estimates that even if he is in a team that fully controls the ball and plays at full strength, he might  It can be done, but I'm really not sure.

    Martian Zhang¡¯s pursuit of data is truly terrifying.

    In his rookie season, Zhang Mars set numerous records, with both scoring and rebounds being rookie records.  And that season, Chamberlain won the scoring title, rebounding title, regular season MVP, All-Star MVP, and Rookie of the Year, leading the previously weak Philadelphia 76ers all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals

    Chamberlain¡¯s emergence directly led to what became an enduring mythical classic in the NBA.

    But these two people are already too far away. Whether it is "Mars Zhang" or "Big O", people can only recall their style in the information and black and white video tapes.

    In recent years, there is no rookie who can compete with Zhang Kong in terms of average data per game in his rookie season!  Even the omnipotent god of basketball, Michael Jordan's all-around statistics of 25.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game, are eclipsed by Zhang Kong's 20+20 average per game.

    Under such circumstances, you can¡¯t blame the media for not calming down. It¡¯s really Zhang Kongtai who doesn¡¯t let them calm down.

    So, when Zhang Kong said he was going to hold a press conference, countless reporters related to sports media swarmed in like sharks smelling blood.  Just to get first-hand information from Zhang Kong.

    Zhang Kong held this press conference after discussing with his new agent Andy Miller. Unlike the fledgling Rich Paul, Andy Miller not only understands the rules that agents should abide by  , and has abundant resources to mobilize.

    This can be seen from the fact that he can easily hold a press conference and do it on a large scale.  At the same time, Andy Miller also told Zhang Kong that he had already greeted the media present and tried his best not to ask too sharp questions. He even wrote an answer guide for Zhang Kong, which was filled with some questions.  standard answer.

    At the same time, Andy Miller is still actively helping Zhang Kong form his own legal team.  Specialized in helping Zhang Kong deal with legal issues.  Zhang Kong¡¯s exclusive agent team, headed by Andy Miller himself, is also in full swing.

    So, with an agent who has talent, resources, and more importantly, knows the rules, the players themselves will indeed feel much more relaxed.  The help that Andy Miller can give Zhang Kong is unmatched by a rookie like Rich Paul.

    "I decided to leave Cleveland this summer after the Cavaliers won the championship this season." After holding the press conference, Zhang Kong chose to get straight to the point and directly threw out the main purpose of holding the press conference before reporters asked questions.

      Zhang Kong¡¯s words made the media excited.

    In fact, in the eyes of many media, it can be said that Zhang Kong will leave the Cavaliers this summer.  The 1+1 contract that Danny Ferry signed for Zhang Kong can be said to be the wisest decision in Danny Ferry's life. He was at a time when all general managers in the league missed this 'greatest insider in the past thirty years'  , gave him a contract.  But it's also the most reprehensible thing Danny Ferry has ever done.  Because he only gave Zhang Kong a 1+1 basic salary contract.

    This 1+1 basic salary contract has a team option in the second year. The team can choose to renew the contract in advance. At the same time, when other teams offer contracts for Zhang Kong, the Cavaliers have priority in matching.

    Theoretically speaking, there was no big problem when Danny Ferry gave Zhang Kong the contract.  The contract with the 1+1 team option, if Zhang Kong cannot play it out, has proven to be unsatisfactory. The Cavaliers can choose to end the contract early as long as they have the team option.  And if Zhang Kong performs at a good level, the Cavaliers can also give priority to renewing his contract.

    The team option is indeed a clause that is quite beneficial to the employer.

    But there is one situation where team options simply cannot stop competitors who have gone crazy.

    That¡¯s because Zhang Kong¡¯s performance was really great.

    Averaging 20+20+5+4 per game, this is definitely the level of a super center. What's more, he is only 21 years old this year, not to mention this is his first season. When he grows up, this data will improve again.  To what level of terror?  Not to mention surpassing Chamberlain, but there is no problem in being comparable!

    Such a person is definitely worth a gamble for any team. Even if he never improves in the future, the state he has shown this season is enough to become a player for any team aspiring to the championship.  The cornerstone of the team.

    This summer, Zhang Kong has no reason to stay with the Cavaliers.
