Chapter 115 The Strict Team

After finishing the post-match press conference, chatting with head coach Reggie Troyce, general manager Geoff Petrie and others for a long time, and eating some free supper at the club, Yan Huacai returned to his residence alone with his tired body.

It was still very cool in Sacramento in early May. Yan Hua walked alone on the road in the community, and he could even feel the slightest chill. Because when he bought the house, he chose a location very close to the club, and Yan Hua He and Zhou Feng didn't have a driver's license, so Yan Hua didn't buy a car. All along, he either walked or took Kevin Martin's car to the club. Kevin Martin lived just across the street from Yan Hua. It's also convenient to rub, but with Kevin Martin being reimbursed due to injury, Yan Hua can only walk. Fortunately, Yan Hua's residence is less than two kilometers away from the Arco Arena. It won't be long.

When walking back to the residence, Yan Hua received calls from Yao Ming, Kevin Love, Bill Duffy, Zhou Feng and others. The purpose of Yao Ming's call was naturally to congratulate Yan Hua , and Bill Duffy and Zhou Feng, in addition to congratulating them, also reported to Yan Hua about the preparations for the "Team Yan" and the endorsement contracts that have come in recent times.

It is already the practice of the NBA that the center does not sell sneakers. Except for Patrick Ewing who once sold a lot of sneakers with his back on the mountain of New York, others such as Olajuwon, O'Neal, David Robinson, The signature sneakers launched by these centers whose strength and influence are higher than Ewing’s are not very easy to sell. In addition, Yan Hua’s draft pick is not high, so in the same class of rookies Derrick Rose, OJ- When Mayo and others have already signed tens of millions of sneaker contracts, Yan Hua has been ignored by no one, so he can only play games in AJs that don't fit well.

However, after the All-Star Weekend, this situation changed. AJ, Adidas, Nike and other companies successively found Bill Duffy, but Bill Duffy chose to wait and see, and did not easily reach an oral agreement with any company. Bill Duffy knew that the agreement would only benefit himself and Yan Hua, because the better Yan Hua performed, the more confident Bill Duffy would be at the negotiating table. No, the King's home game against the Lakers just now After the end, those companies lost their composure and doubled the amount of the previous contracts one after another. However, Bill Duffy still did not give them a clear answer, and called Yan Hua, suggesting that they consider the sneaker contract after the end of the season. As long as it is delayed until the end of the season, when Yan Hua beats Derrick Rose and they win the best rookie, the amount of the sneaker contract will increase.

Since Bill Duffy has many big-name players, including Yao Ming, Carmelo Anthony, and Steve Nash, it is impossible for Bill Duffy to put all his energy and work on Yan Hua. After discussing with Bill Duffy, Hua decided to set up a brokerage team similar to Team Yao, mainly to help Yan Hua with image packaging, schedule arrangements, and responsible for Yan Hua's endorsement and sponsorship contracts in China, although the name still belongs to Bill Duffy leads, but the division of work between the two parties is also very clear. Bill Duffy is responsible for signing Yan Hua and the club, as well as some major endorsement and sponsorship contracts, while Zhou Feng and Long Sanfeng help Yan Hua Deal with daily chores, including travel arrangements, image packaging, and domestic endorsement and sponsorship contracts, etc.

As for the salary, Bill Duffy still only takes the share, not the salary, while Zhou Feng and Long Sanfeng have raised a lot on the basis of the original salary. After all, they are no longer just translators and life assistants. Moreover, the consumption levels in the United States and China cannot be compared, and in addition to wages, the share of domestic endorsement and sponsorship contracts also belongs to Zhou Feng and Long Sanfeng, but apart from Zhou Feng and Long Sanfeng, Bill - Duffy also recruited a legal consultant from his agency and stuffed it into Yan's team.

After pulling Zhou Feng and Long Sanfeng into the brokerage team, Yan Hua registered a studio similar to a leather bag company under Zhou Feng's suggestion. Of course, the main purpose of the registration work was not to evade taxes, but It’s just for the convenience of external contacts. To you, Amei, tax evasion is no different from seeking death. Many gangsters who the FBI can’t handle are finally carried into the hands of the IRS, and even derived from it. A person who would rather kill for money than evade taxes.

After the official establishment of the studio, Zhou Feng and Long Sanfeng rented a house not far from Yan Hua's residence for the convenience of work and in order not to disturb Yan Hua's rest, and moved out of Yan Hua's residence. Going out, but after Zhou Feng and the others moved out, Yan Hua was a little uncomfortable. Living in such a big house by himself was too deserted. Every time he returned to the residence after the game and training, he faced the In the big empty house, Yan Hua was very homesick, but even after calling home many times, his parents were unwilling to leave the place where they had lived all their lives and come to this foreign country.

Sitting in the living room alone, watching TV alone for a while, Yan Hua returned to the bedroom, but Yan Hua couldn't fall asleep anyway, a game that almost exhausted all his physical energy, not only did not let the exhausted Yan Hua fall asleep , On the contrary, Yan Hua entered a state of extreme excitement.

Yan Hua, who couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, decided to go to the system space and find Adams and Kwame Brown to practice for a while. However, as soon as he entered the system space, Yan Hua was shocked by the rewards coming to him. , although the system rewards will be prompted after the game is over, but at the end of the game between the Kings and the Lakers, Yan Hua was surrounded by crazy teammates, so Yan Hua didn't listen too much about how many rewards he got. clear.

"Wow, there are so many rewards in one game!"

In this game against the Lakers, Yan Hua was rewarded with 84 points for the data obtained only. In addition, Yan Hua also received an additional reward of 40 points for his 20+50 in a single game. Before this game, Yan Hua's system points were 2931 points. According to Yan Hua's previous performance, if he wants to collect 3000 points, he needs at least 3 games. With these 134 points, Yan Hua will have enough points. 3000 points for the next template card.

So many points are undoubtedly beyond Yan Hua's expectation, but what surprised Yan Hua the most is that after the Patrick Ewing experience card expired, Yan Hua actually got a reward of 5 points of the blocking attribute. It was a surprise for Yan Hua, after all, he didn't get anything when he used the experience card last time.

"Patrick Ewing is fine." After receiving all the rewards, Yan Hua is ready to receive the next template card. According to the previous template card acquisition rules, the template card Yan Hua obtained this time should be an ability value The center forwards are between 90 and 98, and according to the statistics of the system, there are nearly 100 centers with the ability value in this range, so Yan Hua secretly prayed that the requirements are not high, and the 96 Ewing will do.

"Come out, Patrick Ewing." After pressing the confirmation button, Yan Hua roared, hoping that the system would follow his wish and give him a Patrick Ewing template card, because he used it today After Ewing experienced the card, Yan Hua already had a clear understanding of Patrick Ewing's true ability. This player was the bottom of the four major centers, had a very tragic career, and perfectly missed almost all personal honors. Trapped, if placed in this era, it is definitely a player who can dominate an era.
