NBA Dynasty Sniper

Chapter 11 The Broker

After getting off the plane, it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon, and Zhao Dong returned to the training base with the team.

Back in the dormitory, not long after, the phone rang.

"Hello, this is the Knicks training base, I'm Zhao Dong."

"Hello, Dragon, I'm Raymond Hades, an NBA agent..."

After this call, his dormitory phone kept ringing, all agents, and I don't know how they got this call.

But Zhao Dong did not agree to them, only said to think about it.

"Hello, I'm Zhao Dong." The phone rang again.

"Hello, Feilong, hello, I'm Bill Spirickland, Alan Houston's agent, has he talked to you yet?"

A man on the opposite side said in a gentle tone.

"Yes, he talked to me." Zhao Dong said.

When Alan Houston was on the plane, he approached him once, and wanted to introduce his agent to Zhao Dong. Of course, this must be a request from Bills Perrickland. He wanted to find an agent anyway, so he agreed to meet and talk. one time.

Bill Sperry Crane was already waiting outside the training base. After the two met, they went to a nearby coffee shop.

Sperry Crane is about 35 and six years old, full of energy, bright eyes, and looks very shrewd. This is Zhao Dong's observation.

After ordering coffee, Zhao Dong took the lead and said, "Mr. Spirickland, I don't know why you want to be my manager?"

Sperry Crane was taken aback, he didn't expect Zhao Dong to be so active.

"Because I am optimistic about your potential." He said.

"You value Alan Houston very much? Is he the biggest star in your hand?" Zhao Dong said again.

Spirickland nodded, and said with some pride: "I am optimistic that Alan will become a superstar of the generation."

Speaking of this, he said to Zhao Dong: "Feilong, Ewing is getting old, Alan must be the future of the Knicks, and I am also optimistic about you. You can definitely become the most important person around Alan."

Zhao Dong smiled, he already intends to end this meeting.

Alan Houston is very valued by the Knicks. He has a higher status in the Knicks than Larry Johnson. He will remain healthy in the past few seasons. He and Houston are likely to compete, and Sperry Crane will definitely choose to support him. Houston, at the expense of his interests.

He would rather not have an agent, nor need such an agent.

After chatting casually for a few words, Zhao Dong terminated the meeting.

"Feilong, I heard you haven't found an agent yet?" Back in the dormitory, he received a call from Oakley.

"Well, that's right." Zhao Dong said.

"Do you need to meet with my agent, Ringo Wells? He is good, and he has good connections in the league. I can bring him here." Oakley said.

"OK, I'll wait."

He didn't refuse, and it was just a waste of time.

Oakley is different from Alan Houston. He is the leader of the locker room, but he is not the core on the field. There is no conflict of interest with him on the field. It is okay to share an agent.

Oakley is coming soon.

"Hey, Feilong, I heard that you got a quasi-champion-level contract from the Knicks. I don't even think you need an agent at all, haha!"

Wells is a white man in his 40s. He is very enthusiastic. When he saw Zhao Dong, he greeted him very familiarly.

After greeting Zhao Dong, he asked, "It's time for dinner, let's go together?"

"OK."

Oakley nodded.

Afterwards, the three went to the restaurant at the training base together.

While eating and chatting, at the end of the dinner, Zhao Dong decided to use Wells.

Wells is a person who does not have a strong desire to control, which suits him very well, and has a gentle personality, while he is a person with a relatively strong desire to control, and there will be no major personality conflicts between the two parties.

Because Zhao Dong has basically settled the contract, Wells only needs [-]% commission, and commercial sponsorship is [-]%.

However, Zhao Dong retained the commercial authority in Asia.

"Flying Dragon, I will try to negotiate the fourth-year team option as a player option, what do you think?" Wells said after signing the contract.

"It can be discussed, but I don't want to miss the game against the Philadelphia Digital team tomorrow night. You have to hurry up. In addition, I don't exclude the team option, because I believe that after three seasons, the team will take the initiative to renew with my maximum salary in advance. About." Zhao Dong laughed.

Wells was startled and laughed.

"You have a big tone, I hope you can do it." Oakley said angrily beside him.

Next, Wells contacted Grant overnight, made an appointment to meet, and started negotiations with him.

Zhao Dong did not rest at night and started his extreme shooting training.

bang bang bang...

The brightly lit training hall is full of basketballs rolling around, and only one person is sweating profusely.

"Even if there is no system, I firmly believe that I can succeed in this life. I am no worse than anyone else."

From the basket to the three-point line, from the top of the arc to the bottom corner, shoot in all directions without dead ends, and try to maintain a high-quality shot for every ball.

"There was a guy who trained until one o'clock in the morning last night."

The next day, the training base began to circulate this sentence.

In the afternoon, Zhao Dong and Wells came to the office of Grand Line and signed his first official guarantee contract, which was also his rookie contract.

In the end, Wells did not succeed in negotiating the team option as a player option. This has something to do with Zhao Dong's attitude, his own ability, and of course Grant's attitude.

Subsequently, under the preparation of Grant, Nixster held a press conference and announced the signing.

An undrafted pick got a quasi-champion-level contract, which immediately shocked the New York media, and the media flocked to him.

CCTV also received the invitation, and Zhang Lili and Sun Zhenping rushed to the press conference.

"Mr. Grant, are you serious?" A reporter refused to believe it.

"Of course it is true. The contract has been signed and it has legal effect." Grant said.

"Do you really think that an undrafted player is eligible to have the same contract as Iverson?" Another reporter immediately asked.

"It's $3 million less than Iverson's 1+300 contract, and in the fourth year we are a team option, and Iverson is a player option."

Grant corrected it and smiled: "But I believe this is a promising investment, Feilong has that potential."

"Feilong, what do you think?" The reporter pointed the finger at Zhao Dong.

"In the future, the Knicks will be proud of this signing," Zhao Dong said.

"Oh?"

Media reporters were shocked by Zhao Dong's exaggeration.

"Zhao Dong, congratulations!"

"Thank you, Teacher Sun."

When it was Sun Zhenping's turn to ask questions, he first congratulated him.

"Zhao Dong, what are your goals for the Knicks in the future?" Sun Zhenping asked.

"The Knicks have been working hard towards the championship, and I am willing to contribute all my strength to it." Zhao Dong replied.

Before the press conference was over, Grant's cell phone rang.

Seeing that it was the boss's call, he hurriedly left the press conference hall, found a secluded corner and connected the call.
