Zheng Ke officially announced to the outside world that he has changed his agent, and the new agent is the NBA's famous gold agent Jeff Schwertz!

Jeff Schwertz still has a relatively high status in the agent circle, and his ability to sign Zheng Ke really surprised some agents. No matter from which point of view, Zheng Ke should not choose this agent who has failed many times in overseas players, many agents like Dan Fagan and Bill Duffy are more attractive than him, but Zheng Ke just chose him, it seems that as Zheng Ke said at the press conference, his sincerity touched him

"Alright," Jeff Schwertz began his work the day after signing Zheng, dragging Zhengke to the most Haode hair salon in Minneapolis.

"Jeff, we're going here?" Zheng Ke was puzzled by Schwertz's behavior.

"It's very simple, Zheng," Schwertz took out his mobile phone, he seemed to start contacting someone, and said: "As a public figure, you should start with your own image, you look at your hairstyle, how earthy, the stylist here is more famous"

"What? Changing your hairstyle? Zheng Ke subconsciously touched his somewhat unkempt hair, and looked in the mirror, as if it was a little dirty

At this time, a woman with a bewitching posture and a mature feminine atmosphere walked out from behind, and she saw Zheng Ke and Shuwotz sitting in the customer seat at a glance, showing her bright smile, and quickly took two steps forward: "Jeff, my good brother, why are you here!" ”

Well? Zheng Ke's eyes widened, and when Schwertz saw the woman, he quickly stood up, and the two hugged each other. This shouldn't be Jeff's old lover, right? Zheng Ke thought so.

"What? Do you need to trim your hair? ”

"No, no, no," Schwartz waved his hand, dodged, revealing Zheng Ke behind him, and explained, "It's this little brother of mine who needs a handsome hairstyle." ”

Oh? The woman looked intently at Zheng Ke.

"Oops! This isn't Zheng Ke! The woman, who was obviously also someone who had watched the Timberwolves game, happily ran to Zheng Ke's side and stretched out her slender hand: "Hello, Zheng! I'm Cecil and it's a pleasure to meet you! I'm a fan of yours! ”

Ah, Zheng Ke didn't expect to meet his fans here, he quickly stood up and shook Cecil's hand: "Nice to meet you!" ”

"Can you take a picture with me?" Cecil asked.

"When" Zheng Ke just wanted to agree, Schwertz interrupted him.

"Cecil," said Schwertz, "we're here to do the hair, and he needs a handsome hairstyle, wouldn't it be better if you could help him make the most handsome hairstyle, and then take a group photo?" ”

"Makes sense." Cecil listened to Schwertz's advice, and she began to look closely at Zheng Ke's head, and her eyes showed a thoughtful light.

"Zheng, what kind of hairstyle do you think you need?" Cecil asked Zheng Ke.

Zheng Ke was stunned, he really hadn't thought about this problem, but he reacted immediately and said with a smile: "Just take an inch, the one who dares to keep an inch is a handsome guy!" ”

"What kind of crookedness?" Cecil didn't understand Zheng Ke's words, but she immediately began to look at Zheng Ke with her professional eyes, and gave advice: "It's not impossible to have a small head, but there are a lot of inches, there are round inches, board inches, square inches, and gross inches, I think your previous board inches are very inconsistent with your head shape, well, round inches are actually more suitable for you"

"Alright, come on!"

Jeff Schwartz is worthy of being a professional agent, he began to build the image of Zheng Ke, first of all, starting from the external image, Zheng Ke changed a round head, designed some small patterns on both sides, giving people the feeling that Zheng Ke has become more energetic, and then Schwertz took Zheng Ke to the mall to shop, and bought Zheng Ke a lot of necessary clothes to attend the event

Then next, Schwertz went to the target center with Zheng Ke, Zheng Ke was for the evening game, and Schwertz was to ventilate to the coach and general manager of the Timberwolves team, after all, as the new agent of the team's players, he has the responsibility and obligation to communicate with the team's senior management

Today, the Timberwolves are at home against the Spurs, although the Spurs are not the first in the league now, but no one will doubt the strength of the Spurs, as long as the GDP three are healthy, he is a championship-level team, facing such a team that has won four championships in the past nine years, the pressure on the whole Timberwolves team is very high.

"Can you take it easy?" Whitman told the players in the locker room: "It's the end of the season, we've lost our qualification for the playoffs, and against a strong team like the Spurs, we can try to fight, but don't put too much pressure on ourselves, okay?" ”

Whitman's eyes swept over everyone and fixed on Zheng Ke's face, and he suddenly exclaimed as if he had discovered a new world: "Oh, Zheng, you have changed your hairstyle and become handsome!" ”

Suddenly, all the eyes in the locker room focused on Zheng Ke's face and his head, and everyone began to talk nonsense: "Really! It seems to have changed! ”

"Hey," Jefferson on the side poked Zheng Ke and said, "When did you go to get this hairstyle done, it seems to be cool!" ”

Zheng Ke showed a crying and laughing expression, what's wrong with everyone? I make a fuss when I change my hairstyle, but is this hairstyle really good-looking?

"It's a good fit for you, Zheng!" Even Whitman Zuihou commented

Target Center.

General Manager's Office.

Two cups with coffee.

Two men in formal clothes have big eyes on each other, sitting in a computer chair.

After a long time, McHale let out a sigh of relief and said, "Jeff, I'm afraid I won't be able to give you an immediate answer to your request. ”

"Really?" Schwartz did not show a disappointed expression, his calm face did not show a trace of fluctuation, and said: "You think about it carefully, Kevin, Zheng's potential is definitely higher than Al Jeffson, you also used to be a super insider, you should understand that Al Jefferson's talent has determined that his ceiling is at most a second-level player"

"No, no, Jeff!" McHale shook his head, and he said, "Al, he's young, and he still has room to rise. As for Zheng, of course I know that his potential is even more amazing, but now his strength has not reached the height of Al, and he can only be regarded as a starter-level player now, so I will not agree to your request to make Zheng Ke the core of the team."

"Okay," Schwertz didn't dwell too much on the issue, and he began to change the subject: "I believe time will tell, and I believe that Zheng will definitely play at an All-Star level, just like his predecessor Yao Ming did." ”

McHale nodded and smiled, "Of course, I believe it too." ”

Schwertz looked at Zheng Ke's game materials in his hand, and then looked up at McHale and said: "Kevin, Zheng's contract is a 1+1 second-round show contract, and the second year is a team option, I want to ask you how to deal with it?" ”

McHale was prepared, he said: "Zheng Ke's performance is very impressive, the team is very willing, and there is enough salary space for Zheng Ke to prepare a contract worthy of his value, so if you are willing to sign a new contract with us, we can choose not to execute this second year of the contract, but after all, there is Boozer in front of us, so I hope that an agreement can be reached in advance." ”

"Is it" Schwartz heard McHale's words, showing an expression that was not as expected, but when he heard McHale Zuihou actually say this, he showed an angry expression: "No, Kevin, you can't say that about my players, I and Goodwin (Boozer's agent) are two kinds of people, Zheng and Boozer are also two kinds of people, you can't put us together with them, you say this, it's too hurtful"

As soon as McHale spoke, he knew that he was wrong, and he hurriedly said, "I'm so sorry, Jeff, I was wrong." You are one of the few agents in the circle of agents who have money as their first purpose, I should not doubt you, but I think you need to understand me as well, and I also think about the team."

As Schowertz calmed down, he asked McHale: "Can you tell me what kind of new contract the team has in store for Zheng Ke?" ”

"Of course, Jeff!" McHale nodded and said, "The team prepares two contracts for Zheng, one is a three-year 15 million contract, and the other is a five-year 3,000 contract. ”

Schwartz shook his head and said, "Kevin, you are insulting Zheng Ke's performance, in your eyes, Zheng Ke is only worth an average of five or six million middle-class contracts per year?" ”

McHale had a different view, he said: "Jeff, judging from Zheng Ke's current performance, he does only have a middle-class contract, I know, Zheng Ke's potential is very high, but after all, he didn't play at an All-Star level, the team will not give Zheng Ke a maximum salary, I hope you can understand this." ”

"Hehe," Schwertz smiled: "Kevin, I know your difficulties, and I also know that the Timberwolves are only a small-ball team, and every contract needs to be finalized carefully, and I didn't think about agreeing with the team right away, but I insist that his on-court performance plus off-court business factors, etc., he is definitely more than this price!" "So what kind of contract do you think he deserves?" "At least 10 million!" "You're crazy! Jeff! McHale jumped up like a cat with its tail stepped on, stretched out and said, "Do you know what level 10 million is?" It's a semi-all-star level! It's an average of 16 points or more per game or 10 rebounds per night! You're kidding! "I'm not kidding!" Schwertz also stood up, his hands propped on the table, staring at McHale word for word.

The two of them didn't back down from each other, staring at each other for a long, long time, "Okay," McHale was defeated first, he sat down in the computer chair, and said: I don't think we can agree for a while, let's talk about it later
