Chapter 68: Da Yao and Yao's team
Da Yao's face still has to be given.
As only the most successful and famous player in the Chinese basketball industry, even though he has been retired for a few years, Da Yao's influence has not diminished at all, and even because of the dismal record of the Chinese men's basketball team in the past two years after the absence of Da Yao, people are more and more aware of how important Da Yao is to Chinese basketball!
Wang Feng knows better that as a player, Da Yao has achieved the top level of Huaguo, and after retiring, he still reached the top of all retired players.
In February 2017, Da Yao was elected chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association and became the most powerful person in the Chinese basketball industry!
And until Wang Feng crossed over, Da Yao was still sitting in the position of chairman of the Basketball Association, even more stable, and at the same time served as the president of the Asian Basketball Federation!
Under these two gimmicks, Da Yao's other identity, the chairman and general manager of the China Vocational Federation, is simply not worth mentioning.
Wang Feng has already made up his mind to continue his activities as a basketball player in the future, in this case, it is essential to have a good relationship with Da Yao, the big Buddha.
In fact, Da Yao also had the same idea.
This time, I invited all the members of the men's national basketball team to dinner, nominally to invite all the members of the men's national basketball team, but in fact, the other players were stained with Wang Feng's light, and Da Yao just wanted to get to know Wang Feng and get to know this young man who broke through in the NBA by himself.
How difficult is it for a Chinese player to make a name for himself in the NBA?
Da Yao has a deep understanding of this.
He joined the NBA as the champion of the NBA, which can be described as a star-studded success, but even so, when he first joined the NBA, he was still questioned a lot, and even some famous commentators publicly questioned it, and bet on Da Yao's performance.
also lost Da Yao to withstand the pressure and contributed one wonderful performance after another, not only letting the other party lose the gamble, kissing the donkey's butt and losing people once, but also proving his ability to the whole league.
Later, whether it was the United Arab Emirates or Sun Yue participating in the NBA draft, in fact, Da Yao and his team behind them had made great efforts, otherwise whether it was the United Arab Emirates or Sun Yue, their strength did not match the draft picks they obtained at that time.
In fact, relying on the influence of Da Yao and Huaguo's background, the UAE and Sun Yue successfully landed in the NBA, but the NBA is a competitive league after all, and Sun Yue couldn't adapt to it at all under the high-intensity and high-level competition, and was cut after the Lakers mixed a championship ring.
On the other hand, although the UAE is stronger than Sun Yue, and has barely played in the NBA for a few years, it has not been able to show the dominance of the inside line like Da Yao, and can only gradually become a substitute role player.
Da Yao knows very well how strong the UAE and Sun Yue are, even they can't adapt to the high-intensity games of the NBA, a Wang Feng in his early twenties, fledgling, and without any formal game experience, can actually stand firm...... This is enough to show how strong Wang Feng's talent is in the field of basketball.
For this reason, Da Yao specially watched all the game videos of Wang Feng last season, accurate shooting, strong defense, and the strength to fight...... These are what the current Chinese men's basketball team lacks.
After reading it, Da Yao was already sure that Wang Feng could definitely take over his baton and become the leader of the Huaguo men's basketball team!
……
"Wang Feng, I finally saw you, it's been a long time......"
After the noisy dinner, the players chatted with each other in groups of threes and twos, and Da Yao finally found an opportunity to take the initiative to come to Wang Feng's side to say hello.
"Don't dare, I should say long-awaited." Wang Feng said with some sincerity: "I grew up watching you play since I was a child, and today I finally saw the idol with my own eyes!" ”
I've watched you xx since I was a child, although this sentence has become a famous meme on the Internet later, it is not an exaggeration to use it on Da Yao at this moment.
When Da Yao joined the NBA as a champion in 02, Wang Feng was only 9 years old!
Whether it is Wang Feng, who is a time-traveler at this time and does not pay much attention to sports, or another Wang Feng, who aims to be a professional player and began to contact basketball at a very young age and work hard for it, the name Da Yao has accompanied him throughout his childhood and even when he was a student.
"You still have training tasks, so you won't drink, but I'll toast you with tea instead of wine." Da Yao said, holding a teacup and saying to Wang Feng: "It's really good that you can participate in this Asian Championship, the current Huaguo men's basketball team really needs talents like Ling." ”
"Isn't it natural to win glory for the country?" Wang Feng also smiled and said: "Besides, participating in this kind of competition is also a rare competition experience, and for me now, I can't miss any opportunity to exercise and make myself stronger." ”
"It's good to have that mentality." Da Yao nodded with satisfaction. "If you want to get a foothold in the NBA, you have to be mentally prepared to face competition and challenges at all times! If there's anything you need help with, you can tell me, you're welcome. ”
Hearing Da Yao say this, Wang Feng was slightly stunned. "There's something I really want you to help with."
During this time of returning to China, Wang Feng discovered the importance of brokers more and more.
Joining the Asian Championships has brought Wang Feng's popularity in China to a higher level, and various advertising endorsement invitations have come one after another, including all offers with good treatment and full of sincerity.
But Wang Feng can only push it away, he has only one, and he can't split three petals, especially in order to exercise his ability to spend a lot of time in training, he must have a professional agent to assist him.
When he saw Da Yao, Wang Feng remembered the famous team behind Da Yao, Team Yao.
It is a team of agents formed by many people, responsible for all activities under the Da Yao Stadium, it can be said that Da Yao can achieve such achievements on and off the court, and the contribution of the Yao team behind the scenes cannot be ignored!
Wang Feng had previously thought about finding an agent to help deal with things outside the arena after returning to the United States, but after thinking about it carefully, he has no influence at all in the United States now, except for the team's contract extension, there are too few places for an agent in the United States to help him in other aspects.
Da Yao's Yao team is different.
Wang Feng's situation is very similar to Da Yao's beginning, as a Chinese player, the market in Huaguo is far more and bigger than that of Mi Guo! In this case, the Yao team that has already brought out a big Yao is experienced!
If Wang Feng can get the assistance of Yao's economic team, at least outside the field, he won't need to spend too much energy in most cases.
"So you don't have an agent yet?"
After hearing Wang Feng say his thoughts, Da Yao was very happy.
Now Da Yao is already an excellent businessman, with a number of commercial brands under his name, and he is the owner of the Shanghai Shark Basketball Club, and many Shanghai team players are signed players under his economic team.
There is no doubt about Wang Feng's commercial value, although I don't know if he can meet the standards of Da Yao in the future, but even at this stage, he is definitely the top domestic player!
Being able to sign Wang Feng is naturally something that Da Yao can't ask for!
