Tang Shuai sat at the window, staring intently at the tablet in front of him, his fingers tapping on the table.

He has a habit of watching the game video after each game to see his shortcomings in the game, so that he can pack it in a targeted manner.

In the last game against the Warriors, when he played with Paul, his three-point shooting was maximized, but it also exposed a lot of problems with him.

Defensive issues aside, his most pressing issues now are to diversify his attacking style and improve his passing ability.

In his current arsenal, except for the skill pack that is purple for dry pull and three-point, even the breakthrough pack is still the blue breakthrough pack of Yuki Fujian, and most of the other skill packs are green, and the green skill pack is almost equal to none in the NBA, and it is basically a mistake as soon as it is used.

And the biggest problem is his passing bag, which is a bit too big for a defender and a player who is defined as a point guard.

During Maddie's previous trip to China, he knocked out Maddie's dry bag from Maddie, which made him take retired players as one of his target groups.

But after playing in the NBA for so long, he found that this seems a little unrealistic, most of the average players have nothing to do with the league after retiring, with his current identity, let alone packing, he has no chance to see these players, and the last time he met Battier, it was Novak who introduced him.

But Novak has only one, and Battier has only one, and if you want to pack, you will inevitably have to fight bulls, and others are willing to fight bulls with you. It's all about a certain level of relationship, or an easy-going person like Battier. Otherwise, those retired stars will not agree unless their brains are clockworked. It's okay to say if they win, but if they lose, it's purely a loss of face for themselves.

Trouble......

"What are you bothering about banging on the table?" He was thinking about it when a cold voice came from behind him.

He was taken aback, turned around and said with a complaining face, "Jaime, please, can you knock on the door next time you come in?" Who are you trying to scare to death? ”

"Uh, you can't blame me for that, you left the door open yourself." Duffy said, pointing to the wide open door.

Tang Shuai thought about it, and it seemed that he forgot to close the door when he went out to the toilet. Changed the subject and said, "Why did you come back so early today?" Finally done? ”

Although there is no transaction involved, as an agent, you also have to deal with endorsements, league regulations, and deal with the relationship between players, teams, and coaches.

Duffy glanced at the contents of Tang Shuai's tablet, and said with a smile: "Working so hard, it seems that I haven't looked away." ”

After speaking. He sat directly on Tang Shuai's bed, took out his beloved tablet and fiddled with it.

"You came back early, probably just to praise me, right?" Tang Shuai paused the video and looked at Duffy suspiciously.

"Of course not." Duffy said as he handed the tablet he had fiddled with in his hand to Tang Shuai. said: "This is the endorsement contract that several sponsors have initially discussed with me, you can take a look first." ”

"Endorsement contract?" Tang Shuai heard what Duffy said, and took the tablet with a little excitement.

NBA players earn their income mainly from two sources. One is the salary given by the team, and the other is the endorsement fee given to major companies. Don't underestimate the endorsement fee, after the player's strength and status have reached a certain level. The endorsement contracts received are absolutely astronomical.

Don't say it's far away, it's like LeBron? James, as soon as he entered the league, signed a 7-year 9300w super contract with Nike, which is several times higher than his top salary, not to mention the lifetime contract he just signed recently, which is said to exceed 600 million, which is really money that cannot be spent in several lifetimes.

Of course, this is only the treatment that the top players will have, and this thing is like a pyramid, most of them are still at the bottom, and what Tang Shuai received at this time is obviously some low-level endorsement contracts.

He glanced at it and found that most of these endorsements were sneakers, and he quickly found several more eye-catching sponsor brands.

Adidas, five million dollars for three years.

Nike, $10 million in five years.

Peak, 30 million yuan in three years.

"These big bosses are really generous, especially Nike." Tang Shuai said with a smile that the total amount of these contracts is more than the salary he can receive now, he has only played a few games, and these sponsors really dare to bet, and it can be seen that these sponsors are salivating over the Chinese market behind him.

"Then we'll sign Nike?" Duffy said with a smile.

"No." Tang Shuai shook his head and said, "The contract is too long, I don't want to be squeezed for so long." ”

He's not stupid, although this contract is quite generous for a non-lotto show, but he's different, he's a person with a packaging system, just this contract, it's okay to sign it for one year, five years, if he signs it, it's definitely a head clipped.

"Okay, then don't sign it." After Duffy finished speaking, he simply put the tablet away.

Tang Shuai looked at him in surprise.

"Don't look at me like that, if you don't sign it, it means that you have the confidence to play better, I'm a patient person." Duffy said casually.

Tang Shuai smiled and retracted his gaze, generally the relationship between players and agents is an employment relationship, the agent helps players strive for bigger contracts, more endorsements, and he himself can get more commissions, especially endorsements, compared with the 3%~5% charged by player contracts, the commission for endorsements is basically about 20%, which cannot be compared.

But Duffy is not in a hurry at this time, and he has been in the industry for a while, and he is not looking for other players, to a certain extent, the relationship between Tang Shuai and him can no longer be regarded as an ordinary employment relationship, but more like friends.

"Tell me, what's wrong with you coming back to me so early today? It's definitely not an endorsement, right? Tang Shuai then asked, Duffy is a smart person, but in terms of endorsement contracts, things that can be clearly explained on the phone are definitely not worth his special early return.

"It seems that it is good to stay with me more, at least this person has become a little smarter." Duffy said with a smile.

"Don't be mysterious, hurry up, I'm still watching the video." Tang Shuai glanced at Duffy and said.

Duffy's smile was retracted, and then he lowered his voice and said, "It has something to do with Austin." ”

Little Reeves?

Tang Shuai frowned, this little Reeves has been completely silent since he abused him according to Su Mei's method last time, what's the matter? (To be continued.) )
