29. Help from Yao Ming
"Bill Duffy?"
While cooking black tea, Sun Ce looked at the business card in his hand.
He really didn't expect that an agent who was so important in NBA would come to visit his house specifically.
Sun Ce thinks he should be considered a good person, and his methods are powerful. He is famous for helping Mike Conley get a huge contract that once sets a historical record of 150 million.
While Sun Ce was cooking black tea, Bill Duffy in the living room was also looking at the things in the living room.
"Simple and refreshing." This is the first feeling when Bill Duffy entered the living room of Sunce's house.
Even a bunch of things in the corner of the living room is also training equipment, which confirms the "working Chinese teenager" in Bill Duffy's impression.
Unlike Sun Ce who bought a lot of messy things in the past, when Sun Ce was preparing for training, he sold a lot of messy things to the second-hand market. Now, except for a TV, TV cabinet, coffee table, sofa, and bookshelf,
The living room is full of some aerobic equipment and training plans for each equipment attached to the wall.
Bill Duffy looked at the stuff posted on the wall and couldn't help but get up to look...
After reading it, I came to the bookshelf and saw newspapers, magazines, and even news and magazines about NBA.
Just as Bill Duffy was looking at the living room, Sun Ce came back from the kitchen.
Sun Ce put the tea cup and the fruit plate that had been treated briefly on the coffee table and said, "Mr. Duffy, I'm sorry, there are only black tea and fruits. I don't buy snacks at home. I'm worried that eating them will affect my health."
"oh, sorry, I'm very curious about what's in your living room," Bill Duffy first apologized for his impolite behavior, and then said, "It's okay, it's not easy for young people to have such self-discipline. This is an advantage.
Now I don’t eat sweets.”
Over the past week, Bill Duffy has been asking his agency's scouts to investigate Sun Ce, and the report he reported to him seemed too simple.
Sun Ce's daily activities are very simple. He wakes up very early in the morning and runs in the morning. When it is already bright at 5 o'clock in the morning in summer, he can see him running in the morning near his house at dawn.
Then I studied in class, and seemed to work hard. After school, I trained again. I often saw him in the yard... I haven't changed for more than a week, a day.
There were many women around him, but he was not shaken...
These are the reasons why Bill Duffy came to see Sun Ce in person, and I want to confirm it myself.
It's not a hassle. Bill Duffy also has a superstar named Steve Nash. His agency is located in Manhattan Beach, Los Angeles, next door, so it's not troublesome to come here.
Through the observations from entering the living room to the present, Bill Duffy confirmed that Sun Cezhen was very self-disciplined just like the report reported by the scouts.
It also confirms the rumors that the "inspiring Chinese teenagers" were very popular some time ago.
However, this is also considered to be Sun Ce's luck. If the scout had conducted in-depth investigations into his "times", the report he fed back would probably be completely different.
The first time he had contacted his agent, Sun Ce probably guessed that the other party might want to sign him, but he really didn't know how to show himself actively. In order to avoid overdoing things, he just asked: "Mr. Duffy
, Is there anything you have to do with me today?”
"It was Yao who recommended you to me and wanted me to help you find an opportunity to gain a foothold in the American basketball world." Bill Duffy said.
"Yao? Yao Ming?" Sun Ce didn't expect it was Yao Ming's matchmaking!
"That's right. There are so many domestic reporters who came to interview me on the day of the competition. A few days ago, there were domestic reporters wandering outside the school and almost got arrested by the police... Yao Ming must have known me too. The news said that I was the first one in NBA
The Asian defender and the first Asian defender to score double-digit points in NBA. I didn’t expect that I didn’t even know Yao Ming yet, so he came to help me first. He really deserves to be the chairman of the future Blue Association…”
While Sun Ce was thinking, Bill Duffy continued: "My agency is responsible for dealing with Yao's basketball affairs in the United States. You should have some understanding of this. I don't know if you are interested and cooperate. I will do my best.
Work hard to help you get a contract in NBA, and at the same time, you can use Yao's fame to help you increase your chances of entering NBA..."
Three sentences are inseparable from Yao Ming... Like Bill Duffy in Sun Ce's impression, he is good at playing relationship cards.
Bill Duffy really wants to sign Sun Ce now. First of all, he confirmed that Sun Ce is a self-disciplined and hardworking person. More importantly, Sun Ce's performance in the NBA game, with 21 points and 10 assists... Even Sun Ce
That game was just a simple explosion. In the eyes of many people, his strength will not be too bad, and his explosion must have a foundation in strength.
Even if Sun Ce can only get half of that data in normal strength, he is still very good. The point guard who can get 10+5 opportunities in the NBA is already very good. Even if he shrinks a little more, he averages 7 points and 4 assists per game.
No worries about not having a team sign.
Sun Ce didn't expect the other party to sign him so quickly, and he was a little at a loss. He thought that an agent might come to him, but he didn't expect that there were more than 30 NBA players under him.
The top agent comes to the door.
It seems that he knows the Chinese character very well. Bill Duffy doesn't think there is anything wrong with Sun Ce's hesitation. When he usually meets other players, if he is a black or white player, he will jump up excitedly, but China
One of the impressions people give Bill Duffy is that they think a lot, and using idioms to describe it is to look forward to the front and back.
"Ok, Noah, it doesn't matter if I call you like this," Bill Duffy continued to say: "Maybe you don't understand me yet, and we will be more familiar with you in the future. No matter whether we can cooperate or not, I promised Yao
If you want to help you, you will definitely help. Let’s prepare for the draft first.”
This made Sun Ce come back to his senses immediately and asked in confusion: "Training? I have played NBA and can I still participate in the draft?"
Bill Duffy shook his head and said, "No, that's just a love game, it's an event for the Suns. We can't just make sure you can't participate in the draft. You have signed with the Suns. I know, but that
The contract does not comply with the NBA's rules, but it was just because it was an event of the Suns that the contract was successfully signed. NBA does not have a one-day contract, at least ten days.”
"There is such a saying?" Sun Ce thought about it. It seemed that he had only heard of someone who signed a 10-day contract with a certain team, but he had never heard of anyone who signed a 10-day contract with a certain team.
.
The most important point is that the official Suns and NBA officials in charge of event audits could not have found a show for an amateur Chinese player who had never played in NCAA. The head coach really dared to give 30 minutes of playing time. This amateur player can really perform like this.
, which once caused heated discussion among fans, led to people, including Sun Ce, who thought he had already planned to play for a season, but in fact it was just a community event game.
