Wu Di, who had finished the strength training, was sweating profusely, and he was lying on a bench and gasping for breath.

After the regular season, he didn't let up any of his feelings.

There are still 2 days left before the start of the playoffs, and Wu Di has been staying in the gym to train for the past two days. To be honest, he was a little nervous about his career playoff opener on April 19.

He didn't think about his opponents, he was more concerned about how he would perform in his first trip to the playoffs.

Wu Di is concerned about his condition, and considering the intensity of the playoffs, he is worried that his body will suffer in the confrontation. Therefore, Wu Di's plan is to do more physical exercise on the 17th and 18th.

Exercising is a very painful thing, and sometimes it really takes a lot of willpower and endurance to complete the training plan.

No, after practicing the ball, Wu Di, who forced himself to do strength training, was already half tired to death.

……

The sweat on his forehead made Wu Di's heart relax slightly, which was what he had always felt. Many times, Wu Di will always have inexplicable pressure in his heart, or there will always be a feeling of unease, and only when he trains like crazy will he relax and feel steady.

Wu Di thinks this is probably because he is the only Chinese outside player who is working hard in the NBA, and the high-intensity, high-level league makes him feel the pressure all the time, so he always needs to train crazy to find a sense of solidity.

In Wu Di's opinion, this is not a bad thing. Often, a person always needs some pressure or goals as motivation, and even Michael Jordan has always adhered to his beliefs under pressure, step by step to achieve his desired goals.

For this reason, Wu Di has also set a goal for himself at this stage: he wants to become an All-Star player.

Perhaps this is an incredible goal in the eyes of many people, but for Wu Di, it is not particularly difficult. In his rookie season, he was already the league's favorite to score 15.8 points on less than 12 shots per game, which is already a great result.

And as long as there are no injuries, Wu Di thinks he can become an All-Star player one day.

This can be said to be a kind of self-confidence, and it can also be said to be used to spur one's own goals.

Just as Wu Dixi was about to fall asleep, his mobile phone rang suddenly.

Wu Di crawled to a corner where his backpack was placed, took out his mobile phone, and pressed the answer button.

"Hey, dear Alexander......" a magnetic male voice rang out over there.

When Wu Di heard this, he immediately knew who Lu Dao was.

"Damn, Hunter, you can't call this name anymore, I said it a long time ago, you need to call me Cruz......" Wu Di immediately exclaimed.

Hunter Thomas, a college alumnus of Wu Di, was one of Wu Di's two best friends when he was in Illinois.

And this Alexander's name is the English name that Hunter had to give Wu Di when he was in Illinois.

However, Wu Di did not like the name Alexander very much, so he gave himself the English name Cruz.

However, those good friends in Illinois didn't buy it, and still insisted on calling Wu Di a stressful mountain, which made Wu Di feel broken for a while.

Of course, at the University of Illinois forum, most alumni only knew that Wu Di was called Cruz, but they did not know the existence of the name Alexander Ludao.

And now the only one who insists on calling Wu Di Alexander is Hunt.

On the other end of the phone, Hunter laughed and said, "Hey, okay, okay, future big star, I'll try to call you Cruz." ”

Wu Di laughed and scolded for a while, and then he asked, "Is that thing done?" ”

Hunter smiled, "Well, it's done, but it's a little higher than the previous price." ”

When Wu Di heard this, he said happily: "Hunter, then there is really yours, okay, I'll go over to you when I clean up, and you send me the address." ”

Hunter couldn't help but laugh at the other end: "Still driving your Uno brand luxury car?" ”

Wu Di couldn't help but laugh and scold again, and then put the phone down.

When I saw myself as an NBA player driving a Uno car that I bought for only $10,000, Hunter's guy seemed to have discovered a new world, and he couldn't wait to see people all day long, and every time he talked on the phone, this guy would use this matter to talk to Wu Di.

In fact, Wu Di doesn't want to change to a better car, first, he really doesn't have much spare money, and second, he already has a little affection for this Uno car named "Blue Love" by himself. He wasn't going to abandon the car, his plan was that even if he bought another car, he would keep it.

And after having such an idea, Wu Di's desire to change the car is not too great, and there has been nothing wrong with this car, simply, Wu Di has been using it as a means of transportation.

As for what the two of them just said, it was Wu Di who was about to sign the first business contract in his career.

This matter was completely negotiated by the good brother Hunter Thomas for Wu Di Run, and the opposite family was the American Ford Company.

Oh, by the way, now Hunter is Wu Di's agent.

Hunter, who graduated in his senior year this year, has no plans to pursue a master's degree or doctorate, and he entered social work after receiving his degree and graduation certificate.

However, when he actually entered society, Hunt found that many things were not as good as he imagined, and, importantly, his freedom was greatly restricted.

This situation made Hunter feel very bad for a while, so he talked to Wu Di on the phone several times to complain.

And Wu Di and Hunter have a deep friendship, and he decides to do his best to help. After thinking about it repeatedly, Wu Di suddenly thought that he seemed to lack an agent to help him take care of things, and as long as he kept playing in the future, this agent must be indispensable.

And, if you can have Hunter as your agent, that's obviously a good idea.

Wu Di's idea immediately made Hunter raise his hands in approval.

That Hunter is an absolute NBA fan, he didn't expect to be able to be an agent for an NBA player, but now, Wu Di has given him this opportunity, which makes him completely happy.

As a result, Hunter became Wu Di's agent.

Hunter has a bachelor's degree in management and has a decent business acumen, and since then, he has been researching and learning how to be a broker from some established agents.

After entering April, Wu Di's personal performance is getting better and better, and his fame has grown rapidly. In this way, it is natural that few people want to do business with him.

During this time, there were many people who contacted Hunter, and although Wu Di didn't like to do these things very much, after some consideration, he still allowed Hunter to choose a better business contract.

In fact, Wu Di also took into account Hunter's personal income in this way.

Even if Wu Di insisted on paying Hunter the maximum percentage allowed by the NBA's agent rules, it still seemed a little insufficient. Wu Di's annual salary is only more than one million, and 4% is only about 50,000.

While this money is definitely more than enough to live on, it is somewhat insufficient for an agent who often has to run around. Wu Di is a person who cares about affection and wants to save face, and he doesn't want Hunter to be undignified when he does things for himself.

But knowing Hunter's character, Wu Di wanted to give him money in private, and he would definitely not accept it. Therefore, Wu Di asked him to negotiate a suitable business contract.

According to the agreement between Wu Di and Hunter, Wu Di will give Hunter 15% of the commercial endorsement contract, so as long as he signs a contract, Hunter will get a lot of money, and Wu Di's worries will be solved.

In fact, what Hunter didn't know was that Wu Di rejected the well-known agent Dan Fagan in order to make him an agent.

……

After taking a shower and cleaning up briefly, Wu Di drove to the place where the two parties made an appointment to sign the contract.

After a brief conversation between the two parties, they began to go through the process of signing a contract.

The contract was signed by Kyle, the head of Ford's Land Rover Jaguar division, who said he was a die-hard fan of Wu Di and had been following the Wizards' game for a long time.

Wu Di is relatively clear about this. Kyle is definitely a fan of Jordan, and in the year of following the Wizards, perhaps Wu Di's performance can make him appreciate it more.

As for him saying that he is a die-hard fan of Wu Di, it is definitely just a verbal kind word.

Under the introduction of Hunter and Kyle, after reading some of the documents, Wu Di understood the general outline of this contract.

Last year, Ford officially merged Land Rover and Jaguar, which were acquired three years ago, into one division, and the contract signed by Wu Di this time is to endorse the Land Rover brand, which Ford acquired in 2000.

The contract is the result of several negotiations between Hunter and Kyle, and is worth $440w over two years.

Looking at Kyle's painful appearance, Wu Di knew that Hunter must have contributed a lot this time.

During the whole process, Wu Di just watched Hunter and Kyle complete the specific step-by-step signing process, while Wu Di only signed a few names.

Soon, the contract was signed, and Wu Di and Kyle shook hands and said goodbye. And Kyle didn't forget to bless the Wizards when he left, and he hoped that the Wizards could go far in the playoffs.

Wu Di smiled and said that the wizard would take the championship trophy home.

The meeting ended happily, and the first commercial endorsement contract of Wu Di's career was born.

Endorsement for Ford's Land Rover brand, the fee remuneration is 440w US dollars for 2 years, and the contract time is April 17, 2003, and the payment is Wu Di.
