I'm a basketball star

Chapter 96 [Who to Choose as a Broker]

Living in Gu Qingcheng's house, Lu Deng really felt what a capitalist is.

There are three villas in the manor, one for the Gu family, and one for 8 security guards, 2 gardeners and 12 maids.One is a fighting training hall.

There are two electric sightseeing cars in the manor.There are [-] or [-] luxury cars in the big garage.

There is also an indoor swimming pool and a formal open-air basketball court in the backyard with complete lighting.

The basketball court has just been built, and Gu Qingguo said that if you don't build a basketball court, you won't come to the United States.Before I came, I put on the style of the men in Kyoto!

Not only did they build a basketball court, but the Gu family also specially hired a basketball coach named Harris Williams, who is said to be an assistant coach of a prestigious ncaa school, who would guide Gu Qingguo to play basketball on a regular basis.

Seeing this big manor, even Fat Wei was shocked, the Gu family has so much financial resources, "Probably similar to my family!"

The shock in the hearts of Zhou Zhongjing, Lu Deng and Hua Nan was even more indescribable.

"My God, Miss Gu, your family prints dollar bills, right? With such a large property in Los Angeles, what kind of yoga studio do you still open in Kyoto? Is it difficult to get rid of the smog in Kyoto?"

"I just want to hide in Kyoto and be quiet?"

Well, have a personality!
After discussing with Gu's family, Zhou Zhongjing and Fat Wei canceled the reserved hotel. As long as they come to Los Angeles in the future, they will use this place as Lu Deng's base and pay as much as they want.

Gu Ma waved her hands again and again: "Whatever you pay, such a big place is vacant, and Lu Deng can come and live here at any time in the future. Tryouts, training and physical tests can all be carried out here."

Lu Deng was the happiest, not for anything else, because he could see Gu Qingcheng every day.

Gu Qingcheng was very "enthusiastic" and took care of Lu Deng meticulously, acting like a mother-in-law looking after her son-in-law.

Gu Qingcheng has nothing to do, Gu's mother suggested: "No matter where Lu Deng goes in the future, you will accompany him, be his tour guide and bodyguard, and don't be bullied by those black people."

Lu Deng was very happy, and Gu Qingcheng did not object.During this period of time, she had a good impression of Lu Deng. Although she never thought of developing him into a boyfriend, it is good to be an ordinary friend, at least he is very good at making girls happy.Moreover, Gu Qingcheng has nothing to do in the United States, so he should follow Lu Deng to relax around.

This is so settled.

Fat Wei was jealous and envious, and quietly said to Lu Deng: "You have become the son-in-law of the Gu family, just wait, you will be forced to marry sooner or later!"

Lu Deng felt chills in his heart, Gu Qingcheng's beauty factor was indeed attractive, but if he married her as his wife, my god, the Lion Roar of the River East, it would be difficult to stand out, and it would be unbearable to be beaten every now and then.

&&&
Three days later, Zhou Zhongjing handed over two documents to Lu Deng: each document was [-] to [-] pages long, and it was the information of two basketball agents.

Zhou Zhongjing has been looking for an agent for Lu Deng.According to the regulations of the NBA, all NBA agents must be registered with the league. Zhou Zhongjing is not a registered agent of the NBA league and cannot represent Lu Deng in handling draft affairs. He must find another American agent.

"The problem now is that we look down on the small agents, and the big agents look down on us, only a few are interested.

"After a series of contacts and selections, my assistants and I initially selected two, one is Dan Fagan, the agent of Howard and Cousins, who has won many top contracts for players.

"The other is Rob Pelinka, Kobe Bryant, Harden's agent, they are both well-known and powerful figures in American basketball, my suggestion is to choose one of them as your agent.

"However, both of them are big names, and not everyone is willing to represent them, so they all put forward their own requirements, especially Feigen's request, which will touch the interests of Wushang Basketball."

Zhou Zhongjing paused when he said this, and looked at Lu Deng.

Lu Deng asked: "Dan Feigen? The guy who was Yi Jianlian's agent?"

"That's right, it's him. Although Yi Jianlian was exposed by the media to practice against the chair before the draft, Yi Jianlian was even given the nickname 'Chair Man'. Later, it was also because of him that Yi Jianlian had a very unpleasant fight with the Bucks. But it cannot be denied that Fegan is indeed very good, and Yi Jianlian's ability to be selected by the Bucks at the sixth place is closely related to his operation."

"What did he ask for?"

"Package agent."

"What is a packaging agent?"

Zhou Zhongjing explained: "It's like this. According to our original idea, the American agent is responsible for your business in the United States, including all the activities of the NBA and your business activities in the United States, while Wushang Basketball is responsible for your business in China. of all affairs.

"However, Fegan expressed doubts about the basketball heights you can achieve. According to his prediction, your draft prospects are not very optimistic. If you can be selected before the 50th overall pick, you will be considered lucky, or even lose the draft.

"So, he asked to 'package' the agency, that is, in addition to taking care of your business in the nba, he also needs to work with Wushang Basketball to take care of your domestic business activities in China. In this case, no matter what you can Whether you can gain a foothold in the NBA, as long as you participate in the draft, domestic endorsements and business activities will immediately explode. Feigen's purpose is self-evident, to grab a part of your domestic income.

"I have discussed with Mr. Pang. It is not that Wushang Basketball does not want him to intervene in the domestic business, and we are not worried that the interests of Wushang Basketball will be damaged. What we are worried about is that once he can make money in the domestic market, he will become an agent of the NBA. No more dedication to business."

Lu Deng nodded slightly: "It makes sense. However, he actually said that I would be selected at No. 50 in the draft? I thought I would be the No. [-] pick."

Fat Wei also said: "Yes, I also think that Lu Deng can become the champion. Didn't Fagan watch those videos?"

Zhou Zhongjing smiled and said, "Of course I watched it. If he didn't watch those videos, why would he think that Lu Deng is capable of participating in the draft?"

"After watching the video, don't you like Lu Deng? 50! It's terrible."

Zhou Zhongjing waved his hand: "Let's put it this way, if Lu Deng had achieved such results in the CBA League, it would definitely be no problem to be selected in the first round. If he had achieved such data in the NCAA, it is also possible to win the No. [-] pick, but Lu Deng It was Cuba, which was not convincing."

Fat Wei said unconvinced: "The three-point shooting rate is obvious to all, who is as accurate as him? Lu Deng's ball handling is also considered to be a first-class master, and his slam dunk..."

Zhou Zhongjing nodded: "Yes, this is Lu Deng's advantage. But in all fairness, Lu Deng does have three weaknesses:

"First, speed. His speed is almost top-notch in Cuba, but it can only be considered mediocre in NBA or even NCAA. The same is true for his shooting speed. If he is replaced by an NBA-level defense, Lu Deng's shooting rate will drop sharply.

"Second, defensive ability. If Lu Deng's offensive ability is 100 points, then his defense is only [-] to [-] points, and he will be blown up.

"Third, confrontation ability. Lu Deng is 1 meters, but only 95 kilograms, too thin! Moreover, the grandchildren of the NBA are picky about yellow people, and the natural weaknesses of yellow people are more likely to blind their eyes, but This is the reality. Based on these three points, they gave a template..."

"Template? Who?"

"The low-profile version of Kevin Martin is the skinny Martin who shoots the ball crookedly."

"Kevin Martin? Or a low profile version?"

"That's right, so you think, can the prospect of the draft be optimistic?"

"Okay, okay," Lu Deng interrupted Zhou Zhongjing, "Brother Zhou, what request did Kobe's agent make, and what is his name?...Oh yes yes yes, carrot!"

"It's Rob Pelinka. Pelinka has a similar view to Fegan. He also watched your game video, but he also believes that under the intensity of Cuba's game, scoring 80 points does not explain anything. Even if the shot hits If the rate exceeds 8%, it does not mean that you have the strength to enter the NBA, because the defense you face is not worth mentioning.

"So he proposed that even if he agrees to be your agent, it's just a name. He will send an assistant to take care of your business, and he won't do it himself. Of course, he will find time to meet you. If you can Impress him, says another.

"The situation is such a situation, now you need to make a decision, meet Pelinka, or directly decide to choose Fagan as your agent."

After listening to Zhou Zhongjing's introduction, Lu Deng felt a little depressed for a moment, and lowered his head to read the files of the two of them.
