"Zheng Ke broke out, and the Timberwolves beat the Pacers at home! 》

"The Pacers defeated Minnesota, and the Chinese teenagers performed eye-catchingly! 》

"The Timberwolves have seven double-doubles, and they beat the Pacers at home!" 》

Although it was not a major match, Zheng Ke's outstanding performance still attracted a lot of media coverage after the game, and of course, the Chinese media must have been the most active.

All the news about the Timberwolves team has also become a separate section for some Chinese websites, behind the Rockets and Bucks.

Zheng Ke's fame is growing day by day, and at the same time, Taylor's new songs are also starting to become popular.

"LoveStory" was a melodic country song that won the hearts of the public, and with its excellent publicity work, it skyrocketed in online hits and downloads, and began to pop up on the major music charts of American music.

Then the Timberwolves continued to win at home, defeating the visiting New York Knicks 109-94 to complete the home and away double against the Knicks this season.

Zheng Ke made 7 of 14 shots, 3 of 5 three-pointers, and 4 of 6 free throws, scoring 21 points, and scoring 20 points in two consecutive games, which can be regarded as his personal small explosion

At this time, Zheng Ke and Qin Yue terminated their contracts, and he informed the team that he had terminated the contract of his original agent! Then there was news within the team, which caused quite a stir in the NBA's current agent circle

Who is Zheng Ke?

Zheng Ke is one of the most regarded players in the new generation of players in the NBA today, how high is his potential? The famous basketball commentator Barkley described Zheng Ke in this sentence: "He is one of the most talented players I have ever seen, and I believe he will be an All-Star in five years!" Of course, Barkley is notoriously big mouth, and his words are not very credible, but Zheng Ke's excellence is obvious to all.

Yao Ming's success in the NBA has made countless team owners and agents understand how huge China's market of 1.3 billion people is. Who doesn't do this kind of good thing?

However, Zheng Ke still underestimated his appeal, and not long after he announced that he had terminated his contract with Qin Yue, he had already received invitations from multiple agents

"Sister Yue, you have hurt me!" Zheng Ke greeted Qin Yue with a wry smile.

Qin Yue was dressed in a group of broken leaves and flowers, wearing a white woolen hat, her melon seed face was very cute, she held a book in her hand, and stood in front of Zheng Ke prettyly, hearing Zheng Ke vomiting bitterness there, a smug smile appeared on her face.

Qin Yue said in a coquettish voice: "Who asked you to tell the team, you wait for the season to end, won't you have a lot of time to deal with it!" ”

Zheng Ke said helplessly: "Where do I know, I just talked to Randy (head coach), who knew that he was known to all shijie people, now it's okay, I don't know how many people on the Internet scolded me for being ungrateful"

"Ungrateful?" Qin Yue asked puzzled.

"Hey," Zheng Ke was angry when he thought about it, he shook his head and said, "Those people think that I will fire you after I become famous, in their opinion, this is an ungrateful thing?" ”

"Giggles" Qin Yue bent over with a smile, and said, "How can these people be so good at association?" Then why don't you explain? ”

"Forget it, let them talk about it, anyway, you said that the most important thing for a player is the performance on the field." Zheng Ke waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "By the way, let's go quickly, Mr. Jeff can't wait!" ”

Inside a classic café in Minneapolis.

This is a long-established coffee shop with a history of more than ten years, and although Zheng Ke has lived in this city for more than half a year, he has never been to this coffee shop. Of course, he doesn't like coffee, he doesn't like to sit there elegantly and pretend to be a gentleman, in fact, he prefers to drink plain water, he likes to read, he likes to read newspapers, he reads novels

The store is decorated in a classical Western style, with uneven black tiles on the walls, dark floors on the floor, and the afternoon sun struggling to creep in through the glass on the periphery. At a small table on the right side of the store, Zheng Ke met the protagonist of the trip.

Jeff Schowertz!

Jeff Schwertz is the NBA's gold agent. He has a lot of players at his disposal, with the most notable active players being Kidd, Odom and Tyson Chandler. In the circle of homo economicus, he is famous for his righteousness, he once acted as a peacemaker in the Kidd family civil war, and once helped Odom successfully get rid of drugs, so Kidd and Odom and others have publicly stated that Jeff is their best friend!

Of course, he is not omnipotent, and Jeff Schwertz has been very unsuccessful in the operation of overseas players, for example, he once served as a general agent, and he did not let the general increase to the maximum

In the past two days, so many agents have contacted Zheng Ke, but most of them are some agents who are not famous and have no strength, and today Jeff Schwertz came to Minneapolis to find him in person, which really made him happy. Although Zheng Ke doesn't pay attention to this business, he also knows the name of Jeff Schwertz, which makes him very scared, both happy and afraid that he will mess things up, fortunately, Jeff invited Zheng Ke and Qin Yue together, it seems that he really understands the relationship between Zheng Ke and Qin Yue, and he came prepared

Jeff Schwertz saw a tall yellow-skinned young man walking towards him with a beautiful Oriental girl, and of course he knew who it was who it was, so he quickly stood up and stretched out his hand

"Zheng, it's nice to meet you!"

"Nice to meet you! Mr. Schwertz! Zheng Ke hurriedly stepped forward and shook Jeff Schwertz's palm

Schwertz was indeed a man of good speech, and the three of them sat down and chatted, and it didn't take long for them to become acquainted with each other, and Schwertz also put forward the purpose of his trip in due course, and took out the contract that he had prepared for a long time.

Qin Yue took over the contract from Schwartz, and the two of them put their heads together to study the contract carefully, and Schwartz hurriedly promoted himself on the side

"You know, Zheng, I've been in the NBA for many years, many, many years, and I've learned every rule in it, and I've fully understood the rules of the NBA game, so I think I have the ability to be your new agent!"

There is nothing wrong with the contract, according to the rules of the NBA, the agent takes 4% or less of the income from the player's contract, and can take about 20% of the player's advertising contract, both of which are clearly written in the contract.

Qin Yue was afraid that Zheng Ke would answer indiscriminately, so she quickly took over Zheng Ke's right to speak, and said first: "Mr. Schwartz, I know that you are an agent with a lot of energy in the NBA, and you also have a good reputation in the NBA's agent circle, but"

"But what?" Qin Yue's heart was itching, and he hurriedly asked Qin Yue.

"But you have too many players in your hands, and even the existence of big-name players like Kidd, I think if Zheng Ke signs under your name, I am afraid it will be difficult to get your greatest support"

"No, it won't!" Shu Watts was taken aback by Qin Yue's argument, he hurriedly looked at Zheng Ke, and seeing Zheng Ke's thoughtful look, Shu Watts hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No!" Zheng is a very good player for me, unlike other players who have matured, if I sign Zheng, my future focus must be on Zheng! ”

Qin Yue smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Schwartz, I'm just talking casually, don't be surprised!" Actually, our family Zheng Ke is very interested in your opinion, but you know, Zheng Ke is a foreigner after all, I saw a report before, it said that you are not very good at the operation of overseas players, what do you think? ”

Sweat gradually broke out on Schwertz's forehead, this little girl spoke too much, one after another, and she couldn't prevent it! Schwartz thought for a while and said, "You know, these reports are always a bit exaggerated, just like they said that Mr. Zheng fired Miss Qin, saying that Mr. Zheng was not satisfied with Miss Qin's operation, but now it seems to be a bit untrue, isn't it?" ”

"Uh~~" Qin Yue didn't expect this old man to be able to fight against the army, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, which was interesting.

Schwertz took a sip of coffee and continued: "I admit that I don't know much about the laws and customs of various countries, because I am not an expert in this area after all, which is why I have not done enough in the operation of overseas players before. But Zheng Ke is different! Zheng Ke has attended a university in the United States, he is very young, he speaks English very well, and there is no problem communicating with the players and coaches at all, so Zheng Ke cannot be regarded as a complete overseas player, he is no different from the average college student in the United States! ”

Qin Yue also took a sip of coffee like Schwertz, and that funny appearance made Zheng Ke still laugh, she retorted: "But you don't know China at all, although Zheng Ke has gained a foothold in the NBA, but he has a lot of pressure from China, which you don't understand, and you don't know their movements very well in the Chinese media, right?" ”

Schwertz was silent, he really didn't have a systematic and in-depth understanding of China, and he couldn't help but reflect on himself. If he is Zheng Ke's agent, and Zheng Ke wants to make great development in his motherland, can he do his best with his own ability? Can it be as successful as Yao Ming's agent, Bill Duffy?

"I can do it!"

Schowertz looked up, a glint of confidence in his eyes.

Zheng Ke and Qin Yue looked at him in surprise.

"I'm a top agent, I don't know much about China, but I can learn, I'm willing to learn, Bill Duffy can do it, I can do it, I still have a lot of things that Bill Duffy doesn't have, I hope Mr. Zheng can give me a chance, let's work together!" ”

Zheng Ke turned his head to look at Qin Yue, who nodded to him.

"Alright, Jeff!" Zheng Ke stretched out his big hand, "I like your confidence, happy cooperation!" ”

Seeing that Zheng Ke had finally been done, Schwartz couldn't help but smile happily: "Choosing me is your best choice!" “
