I Don’t Want to be the Boss

: 29. Help from Yao Ming

   "Bill Duffy?"

  Sun Ce was looking at the business card in his hand while cooking black tea.

   He really didn't expect an agent who was so important in the NBA to visit his house.

  The impression of Bill Duffy, Sun Ce thinks that he should be a good person, and the means are powerful. It is well-known that he helped Mike Conley get a huge record of 150 million contracts.

  When Sun Ce is cooking black tea here, Bill Duffy in the living room is also looking at the things in the living room.

   "Simple and refreshing." This is Bill Duffy's first feeling after entering the living room of Sun Ce's house.

   Even a pile of things in the corner of the living room is training equipment, which made Bill-Duffy's impression of the "working Chinese boy" confirmed.

Unlike Sun Ce who bought a lot of messy things before, Sun Ce sold a lot of miscellaneous things to the second-hand market when preparing for training. Now, in addition to a TV, TV cabinet, coffee table, sofa, bookshelf, The living room is full of some equipment for aerobic exercise and a training plan for each equipment posted on the wall.

   Bill Duffy looked at the things posted on the wall and couldn't help but get up to see...

   After reading it, I came to the bookshelf and saw all the newspapers and magazines about the NBA...and even the news and magazines about NBDL.

  As Bill Duffy kept looking at the living room, Sun Ce came back from the kitchen.

  Sun Ce put the tea cup and the simply processed fruit tray on the coffee table and said: "Mr. Duffy, I'm sorry, only black tea and fruit. I didn't buy snacks at home. I worry that eating will affect health."

"Oh, sorry, I'm 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 be self-disciplined like you, this is a merit, I Don't eat sweets now."

   For more than a week, Bill Duffy has had scouts from his own agency to investigate Sun Ce, and the report he gave back seems too simple.

  Sun Ce’s daily activities are very simple. He wakes up early in the morning and runs in the morning. When it is already bright at five in the morning in the summer, he can see his morning run near his house at dawn.

   Then went to class, it seems to work very hard, and after training is also training, he can often be seen in the yard... more than a week, one day has not changed.

   There are many women around him, and he hasn't seen him shake...

   These are the reasons why Bill Duffy personally came to see Sun Ce. I want to check it myself.

   is not too much trouble. Bill Duffy also has a superstar named Steve Nash. His brokerage is based in Manhattan Beach, Los Angeles, and it is not troublesome to come over.

  By entering the living room to the present observation, Bill Duffy confirmed that Sun Cezhen was very self-disciplined just like the scout feedback report.

   also confirmed the rumor of the "inspirational Chinese teenager" that was very hot some time ago.

   But this is Sun Ce luck, if the scout deeply investigates his "when", it is estimated that the feedback report is completely different.

The first contact with the agent, Sun Ce probably guessed that the other party might want to sign him, but I really don’t know how to show himself actively. In order to avoid adding a lot of money, he just asked: "Mr. Duffy , Do you have anything to see me today?"

   "Yao 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 Yao Ming to take the lead!

"Yes, so many domestic reporters came to interview me on the day of the game. A few days ago, there were also domestic reporters who were wandering outside the school and were almost arrested by the police... Yao Ming must have known me, and the news said that I was the first in the NBA. The starting Asian defender and the first Asian defender to score in a double in the NBA. I didn't expect that I didn't even know Yao Ming. He came to help me first. I really deserve to be the chairman of the future Blue Association..."

When Sun Ce was thinking, Bill Duffy continued: "My agency is responsible for handling Yao’s basketball in the United States. You should understand this. I don’t know if you are interested and cooperative. I will do my best. Try to help you get a contract in the NBA, and at the same time use Yao's reputation to help you increase your chances of entering the 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. First of all, it is determined that Sun Ce is a self-disciplined and hard-working person. More importantly, Sun Ce's performance in the NBA game, 21 points and 10 assists... even Sun Ce That game just broke out. In the eyes of many people, his strength will not be too bad, and the outbreak must have a strong foundation.

Even if Sun Ce's normal strength can only get half of that data, it is still very good. It is already very powerful to have a 10+5 chance point guard in the NBA. Even if it shrinks a little, it averages 7 points and 4 assists per game. No worries about no team signing.

Sun Ce didn't expect that the other party had proposed to sign him so quickly, and he was a little overwhelmed. He thought that there might be a broker who would come to him. As many as 30 top NBA players' top agents come to your door.

It seems that he understands the character of the Chinese very well. Bill Duffy didn’t feel that Sun Ce’s hesitation was wrong. When he went to meet other players, if he was a black or white player, he would jump up with excitement, but China One of the impressions people have of Bill Duffy is that he thinks a lot. To describe it in idioms is to look ahead and look back.

"OK, Noah, it doesn't matter if I call you that," Bill Duffy continued to see Sun Ce nod. "Maybe you don't know me yet, we will be more familiar in the future, whether we can cooperate or not, I promised Yao If I want to help you, I will definitely help. Let’s prepare for the draft first."

   This made Sun Ce recover immediately, and asked doubtfully: "draft? I have played in the NBA and can still participate in the draft?"

Bill Duffy shook his head and said, "No, it's just a love game. It's an event for the Suns. We can't be sure that you can't participate in the draft. You have a contract with the Suns. I know, but that share The contract didn’t meet the NBA’s rules. It was only because it was the Suns’ activity that the contract was successfully signed. The NBA has no one-day contract, at least ten days.”

"Is there such a saying?" Sun Ce thought for a while, as if he had only heard of who signed a 10-day contract with a certain team, and had never heard of anyone who signed a one-day contract with a certain team. .

The most important point is that the Suns and NBA officials in charge of event audits did not expect to find an amateur Chinese player who has never played in the NCAA. The head coach dare to give 30 minutes of playing time. This amateur player can really play such a performance. , Once caused a heated discussion among fans.

   Is there really a chance?
