――――――――――――――――――
Tang Shuai followed He Tianju upstairs, thinking that he would be able to meet the agent he wanted to see soon, but he didn't expect that after going up, the person who took them told them that the agent was busy and asked them to wait outside for a while, and this wait was more than half an hour.
The people who were waiting for a long time didn't come out, and Tang Shuai was bored while sitting, so he chatted with He Tianju about the origin of this agent, who was such a big name, which was not right with He Tianju's good reputation.
He Tianju was very patient, and then he popularized the agent he was going to meet today with Tang Shuai.
Bill Duffy, a famous agent in the NBA, has signed a number of stars such as Klay Templeson, Carmelo Anthony, and Anthony Davis.
Of course, from the agent's point of view, this is a very big-name agent, and the reason why he will find this big-name agent is because he used to be Yao Ming's agent, and now he is also a member of the "Yao team", and it is naturally the most convenient to have such a person as an agent.
After listening to He Tianju's narration, Tang Shuai also nodded with satisfaction, the agent in his impression, greed, cunning, and unscrupulous means are synonymous with them, and Duffy can always maintain such a good reputation, obviously it can't be fake, if he can be chosen as an agent, it will naturally be better.
It's just that the waiting time is really long.
After waiting for more than an hour, just when they really couldn't wait, a person came out of the office inside.
What came out was a black guy, who looked about the same age as Tang Shuai, and his hairstyle on the ditch ridge was particularly eye-catching, and he was holding a tablet in his hand when he came out.
Bill Duffy is a middle-aged man in his fifties, and the guy in front of him naturally can't be him.
After the guy came out, he said with a hint of apology: "Uncle Duffy, he has something to do, and I may not have time to see you today, I'm really sorry." ”
Hearing the guy's words, Tang Shuai's face changed obviously, isn't this a fool, if you don't have time, you can just say it earlier, they have been waiting here for more than an hour.
He Tianju also frowned, and he looked at the staff on the side.
The staff is very helpless, although they are customers, but Duffy is a big-name agent after all, now many teams have ended the season and started the trial in advance, naturally there are many rookies who need to meet him, and their prospects are bleak, and it is expected that they will not be taken seriously.
He Tianju sighed and said to Tang Shuai apologetically: "Tang Shuai, I'm sorry to let you run for nothing." ”
Tang Shuai waved his hand: "This has nothing to do with you, it's his agent who plays a big name by himself, let's go." ”
With that, he walked out, and it was naturally good to be able to find Bill Duffy as an agent, but this time being released made him understand one thing, before getting a good draft prospect, it is obviously unwise to find a big-name agent, even if it is signed, there are so many big-name agents, if he doesn't pay attention to it, it is not much different from an ordinary agent, and it may even be worse.
He Tianju shook his head helplessly, got up and prepared to leave.
"Wait!" At that moment, the black guy suddenly called out to them.
Tang Shuai and He Tianju both stopped and looked at the black guy suspiciously, not knowing what he was going to do.
The black guy showed a mouthful of white teeth and said with a smile: "My name is James Duffy, I am the nephew of Uncle Duffy, Uncle Duffy has something to do temporarily, so you have been waiting here for so long in vain, I apologize to you on behalf of my uncle, please go to a nearby café for coffee, are you willing to accept my apology?" ”
This young man is Bill Duffy's nephew?
Apologize on behalf of your uncle?
Tang Shuai looked at the black guy suspiciously, this was the first time he had encountered this situation, and it seemed that Bill Duffy had set up a good image for his nephew.
Seeing that Tang Shuai and He Tianju didn't speak, Duffy then said, "Please accept my apologies, otherwise my uncle will definitely feel extremely guilty." ”
He Tianju glanced at Tang Shuai, as if asking his opinion.
Tang Shuai nodded, although it was very unpleasant to be hung for an hour, but one thing is one thing, and Duffy apologized so sincerely, he had no reason to refuse.
Seeing Tang Shuai nodding, Duffy knew that the matter was done, and then said, "Come, go this way." ”
Guided by Duffy, they soon arrived at a nearby café.
The café was very stylish, and it seemed to be a good place to taste, and after a few people sat down, they ordered coffee, and Duffy then chatted with them.
After chatting for a while, they soon found out that Duffy is a very talkative person, because they know that they are trial players, and the entry point of Duffy's topic is very appropriate, from the situation of the trial to some hot rookies, he feels like a computer, and he doesn't know how much information is in his head.
Tang Shuai is also impressed by Duffy, he is a tiger father without a dog, with Bill Duffy's uncle, his eloquence is also superb.
As he chatted, he suddenly said, "Jaime, you should still be in college, right?" ”
Duffy heard Tang Shuai ask about himself, showed a mouthful of trademark white teeth, and said with a smile: "Yes, I am now in my third year of college, and if it goes well, I should be able to graduate this year." ”
Graduating in three years?
Tang Shuai looked at Duffy with more admiration.
Universities in the United States are not the same as in China, they implement a credit system, as long as the credits are completed, you can graduate from the university, of course, these credits are a lot, if the average person wants to complete, it basically takes about four and a half years, of course, this does not exclude some hard-working genius players, if fast, it is not impossible to complete in three years.
And now that Duffy says he's graduating in three years, it's clear that sitting across from them is a hard-working genius.
At this moment, Duffy suddenly took out a tablet that he had with him, and his fingers slid quickly over it.
Tang Shuai noticed Duffy's movements, and saw a lot of software running that he didn't know, and it didn't take long for a data analysis table comparable to a packaging system to appear in front of them.
Duffy sent the tablet to Tang Shuai and He Tianju's eyes, and then said: "This is a player draft prediction I made, there is a lot of data in it, you can refer to your competitors, rest assured, I studied data analysis, this thing is very accurate, I predicted more than half of it last year." ”
