Chapter 34 The agent is finalized

November 3, Detroit, early morning.

For the first time, Zheng Long did not choose to go to the arena to train. He chose to ask for leave from Walton and went to an old Detroit restaurant alone.

An old man in a suit is sitting in a corner of the restaurant, cutting steak elegantly.

When Zheng Long walked towards him, the old man wiped the corners of his mouth slowly, stood up, stretched out his palms, and showed a gentle smile.

"I thought you were somewhat similar to him when we were on TV, and now I feel more like him."

Zheng Long held David Falk's hand in a friendly manner, and his palm was warm.

As Jordan's agent and one of the most famous agents in the NBA, this old man has an aura that makes people feel approachable.

It's two completely different styles from Rich Paul's comfort after opening his mouth.

"What you're not saying is that Jordan and I are a bit alike, right?"

"Otherwise, your playing styles and technical moves are almost carved from the same mold."

Zheng Long: "."

Zheng Long wanted to immediately take out a mirror and take a look at it to see if the system was not only bald but also slowly giving him a facelift.

For example, darker skin tone?

How come I look similar to that braised egg!

For a moment, Zheng Long began to wonder if Falk was suffering from old age.

"I mean temperament and on the court. In appearance you are one of the most handsome Chinese people I have ever seen."

"It's done."

Zheng Long sat down with satisfaction. This old man was also a monster like Rich Paul, and he could guess what a person was thinking through his expression.

"We have discussed the details of the contract clearly on the phone and by email. This is the contract. Take a look at it. If you confirm that there is no problem, sign it and I will be your agent from now on."

Falk took out a contract and placed it on the table. After Zheng Long read it carefully, he took the pen handed over by Falk.

There was no rush to sign.

Zheng Long, "I want to explain one thing in advance. When it comes to sneaker contracts, I will not choose Nike."

Falk's expression did not change, and he seemed not surprised by this statement.

But Zheng Long was surprised.

Because Falk can be said to have made a huge contribution to Nike becoming the greatest sports brand.

In 1984, Nike chose Jordan. Looking at it now, it was this decision that allowed Nike to quickly jump from a 2% market share to a global leader of more than 40%.

"As an agent, I provide you with choices, but I won't make them for you. You don't have to worry about that. Whatever brand you want to sign, I will do my best to help you make it happen."

“Wouldn’t you recommend that I choose Nike?”

"Of course I will. Signing with Nike is indeed your best choice at the moment, but I'm happy to hear your thoughts."

"OK, after the contract is signed later, I will give you a few brands and you can help me negotiate them."

Zheng Long signed the contract quickly and then wrote the names of several brands on a blank piece of paper.

Falk took the piece of paper with some curiosity. He had never heard of the names of these brands.

"Learn as you go, it seems I need to replenish my knowledge."

Falk smiled bitterly.

Zheng Long, “These are all Chinese sports brands.”

Falk suddenly realized that there was something else in his eyes when he looked at Zheng Long.

This young man is more special than he thought.

The two briefly communicated on some other matters, and they would discuss it online after meeting.

In this information age, communication is a very convenient thing, just by email and phone.

Falk lamented, "The world is changing so fast. When I first became an agent, agents almost had to follow the players every step of the way."

Zheng Long smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to contact me. In fact, I thought you had retired a long time ago and stopped being an agent."

Falk nodded, "That's true. But when I saw you on TV again, I was willing to go crazy again before entering the coffin. I also didn't expect that you would choose me who is about to become obsolete."

Zheng Long didn't answer, showed a polite smile and left.

The agent matter has finally been finalized.

Compared to Rich Paul, David Falk does feel better about himself, and this old man has one characteristic.

Click till then.

Completely respect your own choices, and even "disappear" completely, appearing only when needed.

On November 5th, the Lakers' fourth game came, playing away against the Detroit Pistons.

As a veteran team that joined the NBA in 1948, the Pistons are like Detroit, known as the "Motor City."

It had a glorious past, but it failed to keep up with the rapid development of the times. In the current era, it has become a fringe city in the United States.

The Pistons, in recent seasons, seem to have become one of the weakest teams in the Eastern Conference.

The Pistons also have three NBA championships in their ancestors.

Before Jordan completely dominated the NBA in the 1990s, the "Bad Boys" led by the smiling assassin Isaiah Thomas won consecutive NBA championships in 1989 and 1990.

The "Bad Boys Legion" has achieved results that they can be proud of. They tortured the young Jordan and contributed to Jordan's super evolution.

In the 2003-04 season, the "Pistons Five" won the third championship trophy in team history for the Pistons. They once again used the team's history of adhering to the iron-blooded defense, conquered the NBA, and ended the Lakers' dream of restoration.

Unfortunately, they did not complete the championship this time. The pride and arrogance of the championship members aroused the dissatisfaction of championship coach Larry Brown.

This team has gone downhill.

For five consecutive years, they failed to make the playoffs. It was not until last season that they entered the playoffs again, ranking eighth in the Eastern Conference, and were swept by the Cavaliers.

The Pistons' home stadium, Little Caesars Arena, can accommodate more than 20,000 people, ranking among the highest among all NBA team's home stadiums.

However, the attendance rate of their arena has not reached 90% for a long time, ranking at the bottom.

But today, the entire arena was packed.

Among the fans who attended the game, a considerable number were not home fans, but Lakers fans wearing Lakers jerseys.

The Lakers' three-game winning streak has caused some Lakers fans to go crazy and awakened the passion in their bones.

They can't wait to see the Lakers win four consecutive games.

Of course, quite a few of them are here for Zheng Long!

This highlight reel of three games lasts for 20 minutes man!

Media reporters also rushed into Little Caesars Arena today crazily.

When Zheng Long followed his teammates to the court for training, he aroused the cheers of the Lakers fans who arrived early!

Of course, Zheng Long also saw Jenna again.

This woman is dressed more sexy than ever today.

With fiery lips, he winked at Zheng Long.

Zheng Long didn't feel anything, Russell and others couldn't sit still.

"Long, how about you introduce me to Jenna?"

"Go away, I'm not familiar with it."

"Ah? She just took off her clothes and waited for you to pick up the gun. You two are not familiar with each other yet?"

"I said I'm not familiar with you."

"."

Chapter completed!
