Chapter 336: You're Just a Little Short
As Yao Ming's agent, Duffy can be said to have made a lot of money, and his original plan was to make Yao Ming a city hero like Duncan and Kobe.
One man, one city, loyalty, what a perfect script!
However, now the situation has changed subtly, it is not that Yao Ming himself wants to leave, but that the rocket takes the initiative to sell.
Therefore, Duffy's script is no longer good, and now he can only change the script.
Then for Duffy, it is very important to choose a good script for Yao Ming.
The script had to keep Yao Ming's image undamaged, preferably to create the feeling that he was a vulnerable group.
People will sympathize with the disadvantaged, Yao Ming is now injured and is already in the disadvantaged group, at this time, as long as the transaction is pushed to the team, the damage to him will be minimized.
Moreover, in order to avoid being said to be a newspaper group, the giant teams are actually not in Duffy's consideration, for example, the Spurs, if Yao Ming plays the twin towers with the Spurs and Duncan, plus Coach Popovich and Parker, Ginobili, then how can other teams play? The Spurs are invincible inside and the twin towers can blow everything up!
So, when Duffy knew that the Philadelphia 76ers were also interested, he was excited.
Philadelphia is a big city, the economic strength is not inferior to Houston, and the team's current salary structure is perfect enough to pay Yao Ming enough salary.
The most important thing is that Philadelphia is a team in reconstruction, although this season because Han Miao was selected in the draft and entered the playoffs, but that does not mean that the Philadelphia 76ers are a strong team, at least in the current situation, the Philadelphia 76ers are indeed not a strong team!
Therefore, in this way, Yao Ming does not have to carry the crime of "hugging his thighs".
What's more, if you really have to go to the Philadelphia 76ers, Yao Ming can form a Chinese combination with Han Miao, these two people are the representatives of Chinese basketball, and if the two of them are combined in the NBA, needless to say, it will definitely be a good story.
In that case, Philadelphia will definitely become more marketable because of the existence of these two people, and it will be possible for the value of the two to rise again!
Of course, how to operate it depends on the brokers themselves.
However, this year, Yao Ming actually agreed to the deal, and it seems that he was also chilled by the rocket's approach.
This can't be helped, Alexander, Duffy looks down on him.
Pickers, only love money, and Alexander likes Maddie more than Yao Ming, so theoretically speaking, he has never regarded Yao Ming as the big boss of the team.
Alas...... Self-inflicted.
Put aside the situation on the rocket side, on the Philadelphia side, on this day, Han Miao went to Kentucky alone.
What is he going to do, of course, to find his future little brother.
As for Faried's side, he didn't play particularly well in the NCAA March Madness this year, but because Faried's previous stats were very good, averaging two doubles per game and a big double-double!
Therefore, there are still many people who feel that Faried has a good chance of being selected in the first round this year.
Of course, Faried is really good, he has a strong body, he can run and jump, and he plays with passion, which is really enjoyable.
It's a pity that his height of 203 centimeters and weight of 103 kilograms are all the figure of a small forward, which may not be anything in the NCAA, but in the NBA, Faried's figure is really a loss to play the No. 4 position!
But if you play the No. 3 position, Faried's projection ability at this time is poor...... Of course, poor shooting can be practiced (Faried even practiced three points later), but how many teams will have the patience to wait for him to practice?
Faried has been working hard in college lately, and he knows that there is no advantage to entering the draft, so let's practice hard.
actually said that half a year ago, someone from the 76ers came to inspect him, but after so long, he didn't say whether he wanted to be himself or not, which made Faried a little uneasy in his heart.
Of course, he knows that his biggest problem is that he is too short, and if he can be 5 centimeters tall, then does he have to worry about this draft? It's a lotto yourself!
It's a pity, it's a difference of 5c centimeters, and that's the difference between lotto and the second round!
"Alas, if I could be five centimeters taller, would I be so miserable?"
Sometimes, Faried himself will sigh that basketball is really sometimes a game based on height, the basket is more than 3 meters in the air, and the higher the better.
Especially playing inside, not everyone is Charles Barkley.
"Kenneth, someone is looking for you."
Faried, who was sweating like a rain, suddenly heard the school staff talking to him.
"Who is it?"
Faried wondered, he was not a hot rookie, how could anyone come to see him?
"It's me, Kenneth."
Han Miao's voice rang out, as the boss of the team, Han Miao personally came to see a rookie who had not yet entered the league, so it could only mean one thing, the 76ers wanted this person!
"Han?!"
Faried feels like he's hit the jackpot today, isn't he, the 76ers really want to be on their own? Half a year ago, they weren't joking?
"Kenneth, you've done really well this year, we've all seen it, so the coach asked me to ask you, if we want to sign you this year, will you come?"
Han Miao got straight to the point, Faried was originally a cheerful person, so he didn't need to be too much.
"Yes, I'm very happy to play with you."
Faried knew that Han Miao was a master passer, and this year Whiteside was under him, and he was very happy to eat cakes.
Therefore, Faried also hoped that he could eat bread under Han Miao...... In terms of mobility, Faried is more confident than Whiteside!
"However, the number of signings we may have in the first round this year will not be particularly high, almost the end of the round, can you accept it?"
Han Miao also said that this year, the 76ers' own signing is more than 20 people, this signing can be said to be very bad, although the signing from the Jazz has not yet been decided, but that must be reserved for Klay Thompson.
"No problem! As long as I can join you, I am willing to do it. ”
Faried is very content, now it's okay, he can be regarded as the identity of the end of the first round, as long as he doesn't fall into the second round, everything is easy to say.
After all, there is really a big gap between the contract of the second-round show and the first-round show.
"Alas, Kenneth, you're a little shorter, but don't worry, our team won't care about this, and you're still young, there is a saying in my country called twenty-three, run around, you haven't reached 23 years old, and there is still hope of growing taller."
Well, after almost meeting Faried's expectations, Han Miao also began to fool people.
Of course, this is all to make the relationship between him and Faried close and friendly as soon as possible, and only then can he give Faried a badge!
Think about it, a 203-centimeter Faried can be so violent, so who can imagine how terrible a 208-centimeter Faried would be......
