As everyone knows, the NBA is notoriously cruel and ruthless.

So in this alliance of the jungle, are there good people?

The answer is: yes.

When he heard that Bill Duffy wanted to visit him, Su Feng didn't meet Duffy, so he threw out a good guy card to Duffy.

Greed and cunning have always been synonymous with brokers.

But Duffy is like a breath of fresh water in a mudslide.

In Su Feng's previous life, since he was engaged in the player agent industry, Duffy was known for his sincerity and kindness.

In 2003, one of Duffy's children's shoes named Anthony Carter forgot to negotiate with the Heat before the deadline for a contract extension due to Duffy's mistake, causing Anthony Carter to voluntarily abandon a one-year contract worth $4 million.

Because Anthony Carter's performance in the 02/03 season was too bad, Anthonica, who was forced to become a free agent, specifically said that it was 4 million a year, and whether there was a team willing to ask for him in the future is one thing.

At this point, however, Duffy stepped forward.

He first helped Anthony Carter sign a one-year, $1 million contract with the Spurs, and at the same time, he also paid out of his own pocket to make up for Anthony Carter's loss of $3 million.

Duffy's move moved Anthony Carter, although Duffy's operation mistake was as low-level as a flash hitting the wall, but it was enough to see Duffy's character from this incident.

It's okay to pretend to be sincere and kind for a while, but in Su Feng's previous life, Duffy has been "pretending" for decades......

The road knows the horsepower, and the people will see it for a long time.

It is worth mentioning that in his previous life, Duffy was also the agent of Da Yao and Nash, and he has always maintained a very good personal relationship with Da Yao and Nash.

In addition, most of Duffy's players are also dominated by Mr. Yes.

Because Duffy has a very important principle when he recognizes the owner, that is, if the player has a problem with his character, then he would rather not sign.

So......

What Su Feng didn't know was that when he sent the Good Guy Card to Duffy, Duffy had already sent the Good Guy Card to Su Feng......

……

Beasley's Coffee House, Philadelphia.

When Su Feng met Bill Duffy, his first impression of him was this person......

It does have a good face.

"Hello, Sue, I'm glad you took the time to meet me." Bill Duffy took the initiative to stretch out his hand, looked at Su Feng and smiled.

"Hello, Mr. Bill Duffy."

Look, what does it mean to be a good person?

What does it mean to be sincere?

At this moment, Su Feng really wanted to pull Kobe Bryant over.

Take a look at the Tellum that your dad found for you, and then look at the tool man who took the initiative to send it to the door...... Ah no, agent, in this comparison, the gap is immediately apparent.

After shaking hands with Su Feng, Duffy didn't sit down immediately.

But after Su Feng sat down, Duffy took out his business card and handed it to Su Feng.

At this time in '96, Duffy's fame had not yet begun.

Although he just signed Steve Nash, who is about to become a player at the same level as Su Feng, Duffy does not have many golden signs on hand at this time.

And after seeing Su Feng accept his business card, Duffy showed his sincere smile again:

"Sue, I don't want to take up too much of your time, so I'll just explain my intentions directly.

I hope you will consider BDA and I look forward to working with you. ”

"May I ask, why me?" Su Feng asked curiously.

"I've seen a lot of reports about you and I think you're a very motivated player.

Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to make so much progress every year.

In addition, I am very bullish on the Chinese market.

Because China has almost as long a history of basketball as the United States, and in your resume, I saw a story that I was very interested in.

That is, when you were a sophomore in high school, you calmly completed a righteous and courageous act.

Truth be told, in that case, I'm sure most Americans would choose to back off.

But instead of retreating, you chose to step forward.

So, when you announced that you were going to skip college and go straight to the election, I didn't hesitate to come to Philadelphia.

I hope you will consider me, although I do not have many advantages compared to other brokers, but I will help you with my most sincere service. ”

Su Feng never expected that his unintentional move back then would actually help him so many times invisibly.

Is this what it is called......

A handsome person will be rewarded?

"Thank you for acknowledging me, and how would you help me if I were to work with you?" Su Feng asked.

"First of all, judging by the mainstream media's predictions, your current prediction order is from the end of the first round to the middle of the second round.

And then, I think, you have three chances to change your fate.

The first was the McDonald's High School All-Star Game.

The second is an invitation to try out for each team.

The third time is your body measurements.

Of those three opportunities, I think the McDonald's High School All-Star Game will have the least impact on you.

And the other two chances will most likely directly decide your fate.

Because most NBA teams, when choosing their favorite players, will pay more attention to the results of the tryout.

So I suggest you play the McDonald's High School All-Star Game with a mindset of enjoyment, and then focus on preparing for tryouts for NBA teams.

As for the physical test, I know a little about you.

You'll turn 18 next month, and you're still some time away from the physical test, so if you can still make progress, I'm sure there will be more people who are optimistic about you by then. Duffy methodically analyzed Su Feng.

Specialized!

Great minds think alike.

In fact, Su Feng also thinks so.

Well......

Well.

"And when are we going to sign the cooperation agreement?" Su Feng decided, Duffy, a tool man, must stay!

After all, in the NBA, there are really few agents like this who have both business ability and good temperament.

It's just that......

This next round Dafei was stunned.

Ha?

Is it so soon to sign a cooperation agreement?

You know, in order to persuade Su Feng, Duffy also prepared a small composition of 20,000 words!

"Here's a sample agreement, you can take a look at it first.

I would like to state that I will not interfere with any of your choices after signing the contract.

But if you have any questions, you can always ask me. Duffy took out a stack of documents from his file bag and handed them to Su Feng.

For the agreement, Su Feng still has to take a closer look.

After all, you can't have the heart to harm others, and you can't have the heart to prevent people.

"Hey, 1% of the salary and 5% of the advertising business?"

Su Feng looked at the commission in the content of the agreement and was stunned.

Because Su Feng remembered that according to NBA regulations, agents can only get a maximum of 4% of the salary from players.

As a result, most brokers generally earn between 3% and 4% of their salaries.

Some of the worse brokers may only be 2%, but like Bill Duffy, although this product is not well-known at this time, it is definitely not a street hitter.

As for the advertising commercial commission, if Su Feng is not mistaken, the advertising commercial commission of most NBA players is about 12% to 15%.

Only the kind of big-name stars who are very famous, because they mainly rely on influence to attract endorsements, will sign a contract with an agent with a very low commercial commission.

And Duffy only needs 5% of his own commercial commission, which is definitely a treatment that only stars can have.

Hiss!

Are the current tool people so conscious, sensible, and beneficial?

"As I said, I hope I can cooperate with you for a long time, and I am very optimistic about the Chinese market!

At the same time, I hope that we can become friends in the future after you retire. Duffy laughed.

After listening to Duffy's words, Su Feng nodded.

It is no accident that Duffy was able to become Da Yao's agent in his previous life, and it is still an unrevealed mystery to know how much revenue the Chinese market can bring to the NBA in the 90s.

But Duffy dared to bet, because he knew that as long as Su Feng could play in the future, Su Feng would only bring him more.

As for Su Feng didn't hit it?

With Su Feng's influence in the rookie stage and that income, even if Duffy takes a cut, can he still buy a luxury house?

Duffy wasn't stupid, he never did short-sighted things.

"Okay, I'm okay here."

After carefully reading the content of the agreement, Su Feng, who confirmed that it was correct, happily harvested Bill Duffy, a new tool man.

"Then Sue, I wish us a happy cooperation!" Duffy laughed.

"It's a pleasure to work with."

……

After signing with Bill Duffy, Su Feng suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

With Duffy going to help him contact the tryout, Su Feng could then focus on the final sprint.

It is also worth mentioning that on April 1, April Fool's Day, Su Feng also signed a long-term tool man agreement with Mancias, Fraser, and Aranstein, who rushed to Philadelphia on horseback.

Su Feng offered the three trainers a price they couldn't refuse.

"Well, are we being fostered?" If you translate the thoughts of these three trainers at this time, it will probably be like this.

Well, this must not be an April Fool's joke.

Because it is clearly written on white paper and black paper.

"Sue, remember the off-ball movement I mentioned to you earlier?"

Last summer, Su Feng consulted Fraser about running without the ball.

However, at that time, Fraser told Su Feng that after Su Feng finished his senior year of high school and seriously ran tactics for another year, Fraser would give Su Feng a special training method.

"Yes." Su Feng nodded.

"The reason I asked you to run tactics for another year was that if you didn't have a certain amount of game accumulation, it would be difficult for you to understand even if I explained it to you a lot." Fraser explained to Su Feng.

"So how do I practice running without the ball?" Su Feng asked.

"First of all, you have to pay attention to the following four points.

The first point is that you always know where your teammates are, which means how your team's tactics unfold.

The second point is that you can't keep running at a constant pace, you have to keep changing your speed to confuse the defender.

The third point is that you must not stop when running, and you should not stay in the same position for more than 2 seconds.

The fourth point is that you have to be ready to catch the ball at any time. Fraser explained to Su Feng.

Su Feng nodded, no wonder Fraser wanted him to play for another year before explaining to himself.

Indeed, although Su Feng understands the theory that Fraser said, there is a clear difference between the actual operation and the theory.

"I can do two, three, and four now, and as for the first one, I should be able to do it too."

In his senior year of high school, Su Feng has been fed by Kobe Bryant into a good habit of always being ready to fire, and as for running, Su Feng has always been famous for running at any cost.

But the first point, Hong Kong Zhen, Su Feng really wants to know how to improve his vision.

You said that there is such a thing as vision, just by looking at it, of course Su Feng can see his teammates.

But catching fighter planes is not something you can learn by just looking at them.

To put it bluntly, it's also a talent.

Take Nash as an example, why do they say that Nash has a gorgeous style of play?

Because anyone who has watched Nash's pass knows that this thing doesn't even need to look to know where his teammates are.

This is simply a tactical board on the field, and it also has its own God's perspective.

"Don't worry, as long as you practice as I say, I believe your off-ball running will make a qualitative leap in a short period of time."

Fraser knew that Su Feng had already accumulated a certain amount of running now, and now, what he had to do was to turn quantitative change into qualitative change.

Fraser's training method is very simple, that is, to use the bench as a defender, and Su Feng needs to run according to Fraser's different tactical instructions.

After running to the designated point, another trainer will pass the ball to Su Feng, who must make a shot immediately after receiving the ball.

In addition, Fraser also asked Mancias to formulate a set of switchback running training for Su Feng.

This set of training was different from ordinary training, because Su Feng had to use different speeds to complete the switchback run.

For example, if the instruction given by Fraser is 1, then Su Feng must speed up, and the instruction given is 2, then Su Feng must slow down immediately.

This is to let Su Feng develop a good habit of controlling speed.

In addition to practicing off-ball running according to Frazier's plan, Aranstein and Mancias also formulated a core strength training plan and a bullet speed training plan for Su Feng respectively.

In a nutshell......

Plausible!

……

On the 2nd, Kobe, who had just finished the interview and was about to come to play with Su Feng, was completely stunned by the picture in front of him.

"Well, did you really rent a training gym? I thought you were kidding me. Kobe Bryant said in surprise.

"That's right." Su Feng nodded.

"I'll go, you're too professional in this training, aren't you?"

Looking at Su Feng, who was practicing under the guidance of three trainers, I don't know why, Kobe Bryant suddenly felt a little disgusted with Joe Bryant, who had been teaching him "court black technology" for the past two days.

Without contrast, there is no harm.

Originally, Kobe Bryant still wanted to abuse Su Feng with blood on the day he returned from school, but in such a comparison, blood abuse?

Kobe Bryant feels that Su Feng will be able to catch up with him soon!

Well, don't be surprised, in Kobe's heart, the heads-up between himself and Su Feng must be maintained on his own eight and Su Feng two.

If it becomes seventy-three, in Kobe's opinion, it will be no different from being defeated by Su Feng.

"Do you want to train with me, there's still something to eat every day." Is there anything more fun in the world than training?

Of course, it's training with a plug-in.

Previously, Kobe Bryant was busy looking for an agent and interviewing, and Joe Bryant also taught him black technology on the court, which caused Su Feng to not harvest the iron value for several days.

Now it's time to reap a wave of iron points!

"That's going to be training with you!

After all, in my mind, you are my best friend. ”

has both food and professional training, in Kobe's opinion, this is simply the happiest thing in the world.

It's just that after practicing with Kobe Bryant for a few days, Su Feng regretted it a little.

Because, according to Kobe's conditions, Fraser formulated a ...... for Kobe that made Su Feng greedy

Dribbling and ball control training alone.

"It's not fair!" Looking at Kobe Bryant, who was rapidly improving his dribbling and ball control skills under the guidance of Frazier, Su Feng complained.

"Sue, I think...... You don't have to worry too much about that.

Because, not all NBA players are as talented as Kobe. Fraser comforted Su Feng and said.

Well, isn't your implication that you look down on me as a "dribbling day"?

However, Su Feng knew that Frazier's words were not rough.

"And, in the NBA, you don't have to dribble well to be able to attack with the ball.

I'll teach you a few tricks later. Fraser laughed.

Su Feng nodded, turned around and went back to play dumbbells.

Wait, one day, I'm going to show you off with fancy dribbling!

In this way, Kobe Bryant's training with Su Feng continued until the 8th, and it is worth mentioning that on Su Feng's birthday on the 4th, Kobe Bryant also gave Su Feng a special gift.

"What is this?"

Looking at the notebook that Kobe Bryant handed him, Su Feng was completely shocked.

Because in this notebook, in addition to the photo of himself and Kobe, there are all newspaper clippings about Su Feng's report.

This......

How much time does it take?

And when did Kobe Bryant start......

"Like it? Hey.

In the NBA, we're about to become rivals, but Sue, you'll always be my best friend.

This notebook is a symbol of our friendship! Kobe Bryant patted Su Feng's shoulder and said.

Su Feng, who has been a human being for two lives, thought that he would never cry again.

But this day......

Su Feng......

Cry hammer, what a sweaty eye, bastard!
