The day after the party, Sandek bought a plane ticket to Milwaukee.

According to what he has information, Butler will train at school in the offseason.

As for the rest of the Devils, it's a little strange to say, but most of the people who were training last offseason started training again.

Of course, this also includes the draft foursome, including Xu Yong.

Normally, they don't get busy until mid-May, when the draft draw is the case, and most teams don't have individual tryouts until they know the signings.

So in less than a month, in addition to finding an agent, the rest of them is training.

Training is about continuing to improve, but also to be in good shape during the next tryout.

Xu Yong also made a new promotion plan for himself this summer.

Among them, there are two main contents, one is the ability to shoot with the ball, and the other is the ability to play alone with the back.

After three rounds of the tournament, his ball-handling offense has been greatly improved, and the finals are a showcase.

But the intensity of the NBA is different from the NCAA, and if he has the opportunity to be developed as a core, it will become his main offensive tool, so he should continue to improve.

Back singles are a must-have skill for swingers in this era.

In a sense, he's a bit like a falling step, a start-up action that connects shooting and breaking.

After turning your back, you can choose to turn around and shoot, or you can choose to turn around and break through, or other footwork applications such as stepping up and down.

Theoretically, it's best for him to learn this technique with Jordan, because he is also a swingman (Jordan: Who can't swing to play a small forward?). Jordan's back-to-back technique suits him perfectly.

But thinking about the black face of Boss Qiao after playing in the NCAA finals, Xu Yong felt that with Jordan's character, he would not have that kind of opportunity for the time being.

followed by Kobe, Kobe's back body technology is also a first-class existence, and even his technology is more suitable for Xu Yong.

Because in terms of talent, Kobe's version should be a better match for him.

But the problem is that he doesn't know Kobe Bryant now, and even if he knows that the playoffs have started at this time, Kobe Bryant is busy competing for the first championship trophy after O'Neal left, and he doesn't have time to teach him.

Again, it's Olajuwon.

Olajuwon, which should have been the easiest, because the dream dance steps of "Big Dream" were the Oiran of the Qinglou, and the price was clearly marked.

One class is 80,000 dollars, and four classes are sold, that is, the minimum consumption is 320,000 dollars.

In history, Kobe Bryant, James, Howard and other stars have been involved in it.

For NBA stars, the $320,000 is the same price as ordinary people spending money on a pack of cigarettes at a convenience store.

But for Xu Yong, his current agent has not yet signed, so naturally he can't get the money.

And when all these possible options are ruled out, Xu Yong has one last option: DeRozan.

In terms of talent, DeRozan is not as good as him, but in terms of back-to-back skills, DeRozan is still a little successful.

Although DeRozan may be just a "Kobe Bryant's imitator" as the draft website says, people have also experienced actual combat.

Not to mention anything else, as long as you usually play, it is impossible to really find an island teacher to teach you by hand, and most of them just imitate people's works.

The so-called flies are meat no matter how small they are, not to mention that DeRozan doesn't need money.

Of course, Xu Yong is not a prostitute for nothing, he shared his falling skills with DeRozan.

This will be of great benefit to DeRozan, after all, people eat on mid-range and breakthroughs, and learning to fall allows him to better combine the two skills.

The days passed as they learned from each other.

About half a month later, Xu Yong met Jeff Schwartz after waiting for about ten minutes at a café in Tempe.

Schwartz is exactly 45 years old this year, and he is in the prime of his career for an agent.

Xu Yong chose Schwartz because he had heard the story of him and Jason Kidd before he was reborn.

It is said that in 2004, Kidd and his agent Schwartz took friends and family on a vacation to the sea, swimming in the blue waters.

As a result, Kidd was attacked by the monk's hat jellyfish in the water, and the jellyfish also had a lingering scene with him, "You run away, I chase you, you can't fly", whenever Kidd tried to call for help, the jellyfish called him a boy, and Yang Yongxin called him an expert when he saw it.

Later, he was so electrocuted that he felt like he was going to have a heart attack, and he was about to end his life as a three-single king, but fortunately, at this time, Schwartz saw at a glance that he was wrong, and ventured into the water to save Kidd on the boat, becoming his savior.

Kidd also mentioned this story in his Hall of Fame speech.

This shows that Schwartz is a person who can handle it, because you have something to do.

And to Xu Yong's surprise, Schwartz was interested in working with him.

Even after chatting with Xu Yong, he expressed his hope to sign the contract in person.

This is not because he was attracted by Xu Yong's handsome and heroic appearance, but as a top professional agent, he knows Xu Yong's value very well.

At this time, Stern was committed to developing the Chinese market, a lottery NBA rookie, and the potential commercial value behind this is visible to the naked eye.

And compared with Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian, Xu Yong has advantages.

Yao Ming's words, first of all, because of the birth system, he made a lot of compromises in order to come to the NBA to play, including profit dividends, which also led to a significant reduction in the profits that agents could make from it.

Secondly, he is a center forward, and the biggest disadvantage of a center forward is that he does not sell shoes, and for players, shoes are the biggest income in addition to salary.

Yi Jianlian's biggest problem is personality, coupled with injuries, after playing in the NBA for two years, the worse he plays, and the prospects are bleak.

But after coming into contact with Xu Yong, Xu Yong gave Schwartz the feeling that he was funny, confident and mature, and this kind of person has no personality problems at all.

And like Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian is also an insider, and he can't compare with Xu Yong in selling shoes.

Of course, there is another point, Xu Yong's appearance is also very online.

Especially this rebirth with [injury immunity], what acne, laryngitis, and rhinitis are all gone, and the original appearance is online, which is even more handsome.

This is enough to ensure that he receives more endorsements.

So there is no reason why Schwartz should not be interested in Xu Yong, or even "treat him differently".

Schwartz took out the contract, Xu Yong looked at it for a while, and when he saw the agent's commission, he saw a 2% salary commission.

When Yao Ming talked to him about his agent before, he told him some basic common sense, such as this commission, the general endorsement is 2%, and the team contract is 4%.

As a result, Schwartz directly gave him a half.

Not to mention, what our people pay attention to is a mutually beneficial and win-win, sustainable development, sign it!

After signing the contract, Xu Yong made a request to his agent.

"Is there a way you can get Tim Grover to be my trainer?"

Who is Tim Grover?

Jordan's queen trainer back then was also!
