At 7:30 in the evening, Stevens's wife Tracy Stevens has made dinner for everyone. The food on the table is delicious and attractive, but Yiyang's eyes have always been attracted by the middle-aged man in front of him.
Grayish inch, but this man doesn't look very old at his age. There are some fat figures, but when you look closely, it seems that this guy uses the word "strong" to describe it more appropriately.
Bill Duffy accidentally discovered that Yiyang was looking at himself, so he showed a very official friendly smile. It seems that this Yiyang guy is not the same as Yao Ming, who is more restrained and shy.
"Come on, Mr. Bill, try my wife's craftsmanship." After Stevens helped his wife put the soup on the table, he was formally seated, and dinner began immediately.
It stands to reason that it is Yiyang's own business to find a manager, and Stevens can't manage it, nor is he obligated to manage it.
But this young marshal's sense of responsibility made him want to help Yiyang check. If Yiyang had made all preparations like Hayward, then Stevens would naturally not have to worry about it. But if Yiyang fails because the manager is not selected well, Stevens is unacceptable.
"This steak is superb, Mrs. Stevens. It's been a long time and I haven't eaten anything so delicious." Bill Duffy deserves to be a manager, even if he is the first time with everyone in the room today. Meet, but he has been able to integrate himself well.
"So, does Mr. Duffy hope to become a manager?" Stevens didn't talk nonsense, and directly led to the "main course" of the dinner.
Bill Duffy put down his knife and fork and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, appearing very polite. "My company and I are very optimistic about Yi's potential! We believe that he can achieve success in the NBA League! What I want to do is to make your success happen faster and avoid many detours! You can rest assured. Give me your career. I have 30 NBA players. I know how the entire league works. And, you know, Yao is also one of my clients. In the United States, no one knows better than me. Chinese players!"
"But...Mr. Duffy, we may not be able to pay the high employment fees." Yiyang's mother smiled embarrassedly. This is indeed the biggest problem that bothers them. Yiyang's basketball scholarship is indeed enough, but not enough to hire a well-known manager like Bill Duffy.
"Oh, it's not a problem, madam!" Bill Duffy immediately raised his hand, showing a kind smile.
"Before I also sign a contract with an NBA team, I am willing to pay out of my pocket and help him take care of everything! All expenses will be incurred after I also sign a professional contract!"
From the expressions of everyone present, Bill Duffy could see that they were a little moved!
Originally, Bill Duffy has always been the representative of "Mr. Good" in the circle of managers. The reason why he was able to become a top manager in the NBA is that in addition to his wide network, good negotiation, and good at playing family cards, he also has two weapons: sincerity. And kindness.
This characteristic of him is undoubtedly something that many other managers do not possess. And Bill Duffy also believes that this little effort is not enough at all. In the future, relying on Yiyang, he can get thousands of times in return!
As long as Bill Duffy recognizes this player, then he will really think about the player! Yiyang is still just a poor boy living in the Wood District. This is no problem. After Yiyang signs a professional contract and instantly becomes a millionaire, Bill Duffy will start to make a profit on Yiyang.
Those early expenses are even the investment made by Bill Duffy.
Seeing Yiyang's eyes become gentle, Bill Duffy breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that he was not far from signing Yiyang!
Yiyang does not understand the operation of professional basketball, nor does he know that his discriminated skin color in high school and college will become a key to the huge market in the field of professional basketball. But Yiyang knew that he could trust Stevens. If Stevens feels that there is no problem with this manager, then Yiyang will also trust Bill Duffy.
After dinner, under Stevens's check and Wen Xue's approval, Yiyang signed his name on the contract that Duffy took out. Up to this point, Yiyang has officially become a customer of Bill Duffy and the BDA Sports Management Company he founded.
Now Yiyang still doesn't know what a right manager can bring to him, but in the future, when he recalls this decision in the ignorant period, he will always be fortunate. He is really lucky.
When Yiyang signed the contract, Bill Duffy gave a satisfied smile. As Yao Ming, Nash and others get older, Bill Duffy's brand really needs some fresh blood to ensure the company's profitability. Brandon Jennings, a young defender who is now playing well with the Bucks, is the first step in Duffy's youth strategy.
Moreover, Duffy has always been a good player in discovering international players. He believes that Yiyang's strength coupled with the Chinese market behind him will definitely make this young boy a great commercial success.
After signing the contract, perhaps to show his sincerity, Bill Duffy immediately came up with his own training plan. This guy was fully prepared before he came into contact with Yiyang.
"Actually, I have contacted many NBA teams, and they are all interested in contacting you. I have made a list of our trial training, and I hope you can continue to maintain your state and show excellent performance in the trial. "Duffy said, and took out two plan documents. One for Stevens and one for Yiyang.
The Philadelphia 76ers, the Sacramento Kings, the Golden State Warriors... even teams as strong as the Boston Celtics and the San Antonio Spurs have all invited Yiyang.
Stevens and Yiyang were overwhelmed with this list of trials. Before that, Yiyang never knew ~www.mtlnovel.com~ that he had been paid attention to by so many teams.
"The training list is a bit long, and some people are not suitable for trying too many teams. One is to let the players express their determination to join, and the other is to let other teams give up. But also, you are different. You are winning the championship. Before the MOP, you were almost a blank piece of paper. With a year of NCAA performance, many teams cannot fully evaluate your strength. Therefore, you just need to go to multiple places to try out, fully to the hesitant people Show your ability! After your trial is over, I believe they will blow my call!" Bill Dufy really deserves his reputation. It took less than ten minutes to sign the contract, and he has done everything for Yiyang. Preparation.
Stevens put down the plan and smiled relievedly. Now, he can rest assured.
"Then I...what do I need to do?" Yiyang looked at the long list of training trials, feeling a little at a loss.
"Like I said, you just need to stay in shape! There is still some time before the NBA team starts to try out. During this time, you must keep your state to the best! Other things are left to me. You Just go to a city with me and tell them what you can do. It's that simple!" Bill Duffi said, extending his right hand. "We will have a great time working together."
Yiyang is not so used to shaking hands with others, so he unnaturally shook hands with Bill Duffy. Du Fei was not angry because of this, Yiyang was just a blank sheet of paper, his plasticity was too much.
Because of this, he has the opportunity to completely change himself! In the joyful atmosphere, Duffy recalled Trish Stevens' delicious dinner and admired the star-filled night sky of Indianapolis.
Another Chinese? I really look forward to it...
