When Li Yang and Green were about to train for two hours, Bill Duffy called Li Yang's mobile phone directly, and the next morning, Li Yang met Bill Duffy, who had come from Houston to San East Anio. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Bill Duffy, as a well-known agent in the NBA, will certainly not miss such a grand event as All-Star Weekend, but because of Li Yang's matter, Bill Duffy is estimated to stay in San Toonio for the past two days.

When he first met Bill Duffy, it was hard for Li Yang to associate him with a shrewd agent who looked more like a black uncle in the next-door neighborhood.

Tall and with short hair, Bill Duffy, who used to be a basketball player, has a well-proportioned figure, and although he is in his 50s, he has not had the slightest fat and is in a very good mental state.

The two met at a café, and Bill Duffy brought him a contract he had already prepared, and he owned his own agency called BDAsportsManagement, which was a standard contract between his company and its athletes.

It stipulates some rights and obligations of both parties, and as for the commission, it is implemented in accordance with the more general implementation of the alliance. In player wages, Bill Duffy will receive a 4% commission.

The salary commission is 4%, which is a hard rule in the NBA, and the broker cannot be higher than this figure, some brokers who are slightly less famous will probably charge a commission of about 2% to 3%, while for big-name agents like Bill Duffy, most of them are received at 4%.

For NBA agents, it is true that salary commissions are an important part of their income, but another part is also very important, and that is player advertising and endorsements, which can sometimes be even more important than salary commissions.

For example, in the contract signed by Li Yang and Bill Duffy, it is stipulated that Bill Duffy can get 20% of Li Yang's advertising and endorsement income.

This ratio is also widely recognized in the NBA, because in most cases, the player's advertising and endorsement need the agent to find a partner and negotiate it, so the agent's commission in this regard is relatively higher.

For these things, Li Yang had already had a brief understanding before, so there were not too many doubts, and after carefully looking at the contract and finding nothing abnormal, he signed his name with Bill Duffy.

"Yang, it's great that from now on we will officially start working together. Bill Duffy put the contract back in his bag and continued: "Now let's talk about the Spurs, I want to know what you expect from this contract. ”

"Expectations?" Li Yang shook his head, "No, I just hope to get the opportunity to play in the NBA, it's as simple as that!"

Bill Duffy didn't seem too surprised by Li Yang's answer, he nodded appreciatively and said, "Okay, Yang, I appreciate your attitude towards money, yes, for you, this is just the beginning, as long as you can play well in the arena, you will get a bigger contract." ”

Speaking of which, Bill Duffy paused and said, "But as an agent, it's my obligation to get you a bigger contract, so leave the negotiation with the Spurs to me, and I'll fight for your best interests." ”

"Also for your commission. Li Yang said jokingly.

Bill Duffy also immediately laughed after hearing this and said, "Yes, also for my commission." ”

"Haha, just kidding. After laughing, Li Yang said to Bill Duffy again: "Bill, the contract is entrusted to you, I believe in your professionalism, I am just waiting to sign it." ”

"Of course, no problem!" said Bill Duffy confidently.

"Young, you can talk to Danido, he's a great team-mate and he'll show you how to fit in better. ”

"Okay, Bill!" Li Yang naturally gladly accepted Bill Duffy's suggestion.

Danny Green has a rich resume, he was also a star player in high school and college, and later became less noticed because of his less impressive performances, but through his own efforts he eventually became the captain of North Carolina and led the team to the NCAA championship in his senior year.

And after entering the NBA, it was not so smooth, from being selected in the second round to being cut in various ways, to the development league, and then back to the NBA.

These experiences have allowed Danny Green to get a lot of training, and the insights brought by these trials can indeed help Li Yang better adapt to the NBA.

Now that the two are under Bill Duffy, Li Yang believes that Danny Green will be more unreserved about himself.

The following time, when Bill Duffy went to contact the Spurs and negotiate a contract with RC Buford, the only thing Li Yang did was train with Danny Green.

In addition to training, Li Yang asked Danny Green for some experience, how to better conserve physical strength in the away game, how to do better defensively, and how to adjust his mentality in the face of various situations during the game, including the personality of each person in the Spurs team, what the assistant coaches are good at and responsible for, and so on.

Li Yang stayed with Leonard more before, and Leonard was obviously not very good at and would not take the initiative to talk about these things with Li Yang, staying with Danny Green in the past two days has benefited Li Yang a lot, and many things that Green said are very helpful to Li Yang.

Especially in terms of mentality adjustments in the game, Danny Green has undoubtedly done better than the average young player because he has participated in the NCAA Finals.

Of course, this is also related to human instinct, some people are born for big scenes.

Li Yang is not this kind of person who was born for big scenes, but after experiencing such a thing as resurrection from the dead, Li Yang's psychological quality is obviously stronger than that of many players.

Just a day later, Li Yang received a call from Bill Duffy informing him to sign a contract with the Spurs. Obviously, Li Yang's identity at this time does not make the contract not too different, even if there are differences, it is not big, Bill Duffy, as a mature agent, cannot open his mouth at this time, because Li Yang at this time does not have such qualifications.

Next, accompanied by Bill Duffy, Li Yang successfully signed a contract with the Spurs.

The standard of the contract is $1.7 million for two years, and it will end in the summer of '14, and the contract is a fully guaranteed contract, which means that next season, that is, in the 13-14 season, Li Yang can get a full $850,000.

But this season, Li Yang can't get so much.

The Spurs have played 53 games this season, which means that Li Yang can only get a salary for the next 29 games, which is about $300,000 in proportional terms.

After the contract between the two parties was signed, Li Yang officially became a member of the Spurs team and became a real NBA player, and the Spurs officially announced the news to the public as soon as possible.
