Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Regular Season Opener Begins!
"Oh?"
Bill. A twinkle flashed in Duffy's eyes. "Why do you think this way? Do you know how many players think they can play better, give up their current contract, and end up playing so badly that they can't stay in the NBA? ”
"Because I have absolute confidence in my own strength."
Wang Feng said without thinking.
The existence of the system is his biggest reliance on the NBA! As long as the system exists, as long as those shining badges on the badge wall in the consciousness are still there, there is no problem.
"And, aside from personal strength, as far as I know, the NBA's TV deal is going to expire next year, and the new TV deal will definitely be executed, with the NBA's current influence in the United States, the amount of this TV deal will definitely not be small, the corresponding league salary cap will increase accordingly, and the player's salary level will also rise accordingly, and I am considering this possibility, so I want to wait until next year to consider the signing."
Bill. Duffy looked at Wang Feng and was stunned for a while. "Did you study economics in college?"
Wang Feng shook his head, "No, I studied civil engineering in college......
Bill. Duffy: "......"
To be honest, Wang Feng's words just now shocked him a little.
Even Bill. Duffy's own agency also guessed that the summer of 2016 should be the year of the NBA's skyrocketing salaries after a very careful analysis and judgment, and even now, they only use it as an inference to make reference suggestions for some players whose contracts are about to expire.
After all, how big a TV broadcast contract can be signed depends on the negotiation and game between the NBA team and major TV stations.
Wang Feng, a complete layman, can actually see through this, and dare to refuse a rare contract based on such speculation alone, what kind of courage and courage is this?
Bill. Of course, Duffy doesn't know that Wang Feng is a traverser, and he knows the development process of future history, if this is not a parallel world, the details of many things will be slightly different due to the butterfly effect, he dares to take all his net worth to fight, and the easy bicycle becomes a motorcycle!
As for Zhang Mingji, he was stunned the whole time, looking at Wang Feng as if he was looking at another alien.
On the same day, Wang Feng talked to Bill. Duffy signed the employment contract, and the other party will become Wang Feng's agent in the United States, and the salary will be drawn according to the standard ratio of the NBA.
In the evening, Zhang Mingji had a telephone conversation with Da Yao on the other side of the ocean.
"How's it going, cousin, are things going well?"
"Well, Wang Feng has already signed a contract with Bill." Zhang Mingji said to Da Yao on the phone, and immediately hesitated. "But I'm a little worried."
"Concerns?" Da Yao didn't know why.
"This Wang Feng is a more assertive young man than I imagined, and in the process of talking to Bill, he seems to have completely planned his career!" Zhang Mingji said worriedly: "It is naturally a good thing to have such a vision, but sometimes, people will always backfire...... I'm a little worried that Wang, like the UAE's economic team, will overestimate his own level of competition and bury his path in the NBA. ”
On the other side of the phone, Da Yao was silent, and after half a ring, he said: "None of us can predict the future, but as a former professional basketball player, I can see that Wang Feng definitely has the strength to gain a foothold in the NBA." ”
"At the end of the day, we're basketball players, and strength is everything! So I think Wang Feng can be trusted, and it is worth the team's time and energy for him. ”
Zhang Mingji smiled. "Of course I know, not to mention what kind of level he can play in the NBA in the future, that is, with his current popularity, contracts from various major domestic manufacturers have been endless! I've had a busy few months ahead! ”
……
After finalizing the problem of the agent with Yao's team, Wang Feng finally solved a big problem.
With the assistance of his agent, he can worry a lot about many off-court things and can focus most of his energy on the field!
There were three days of vacation before the regular season, on the first day Wang Feng dealt with the problem of his agent, and on the second and third days, Wang Feng was interviewed by several domestic media under the arrangement of Zhang Mingji.
This is one of the development plans planned by Zhang Mingji for Wang Feng.
With the victory of the Asian Championships, Wang Feng's popularity in China has been quite high, but Chinese fans don't know much about Wang Feng.
Therefore, first of all, we must accept more interviews and increase exposure, so as to attract more advertisers to make money.
Under Zhang Mingji's arrangement, these interviews are all TV stations and sports portals with relatively large influence in China, although some of them occupy Wang Feng's rest time, but considering the huge economic benefits that can be brought subsequently, he gritted his teeth and endured it.
The hectic rest day passed quickly, and the NBA's regular season finally arrived as scheduled.
On October 27, the 2015-16 regular season officially began.
The Warriors face the New Orleans Pelicans in their home opener.
"Guys, the new season has begun!"
In the dressing room before the game, head coach Kerr looked around the players and asked, "You should know what our goals are for the new season, right?" ”
"Defending the title, of course!" Green was the first to reply: "We have to keep winning and win the championship!" ”
"That's right, we have only one goal for the new season, which is to defend the title! Other than that, whatever the result, it was a failure for us who won the title last season. Cole said in a deep voice: "Although saying this will put pressure on you and cause a certain psychological burden, but sometimes, pressure is also the driving force for us to move forward!" To be the best team ever, we have to overcome these difficulties! ”
Wang Feng sat among the players and watched as Cole spoke to encourage the players.
I have to admit that Cole's ability to pour chicken soup is very good, and the players who spoke about it are enthusiastic.
But for Wang Feng, as a traverser, he knows too well how strong the Warriors are this season!
Or rather, how strong Curry is this season.
The regular season started with 24 consecutive wins, the best start in history, and finally broke the 72-win record of Joe Bulls with a 73-9 record.
The reason why Wang Feng worked hard to stay with the Warriors and steal Barnes' starting position was to eat the dividends of the times of this wave of Warriors.
15-16 Regular Season! Here we go!
