29. Help From Yao Ming

"Bill Duffy?"

While making black tea, Sun Ce looked at the business card in his hand.

He really didn't expect that an agent who is so important in the NBA would come to visit his house specially.

In the impression of Bill Duffy, Sun Ce thinks he should be regarded as a good man, and he is very capable. It is very famous that he helped Mike Conley get a huge contract of 150 million yuan that once set a record.

While Sun Ce was making black tea, Bill Duffy in the living room was also looking at the things in the living room.

"Succinct and refreshing." This was 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 also training equipment, which confirms the "hardworking Chinese teenager" in Bill Duffy's impression.

Unlike Sun Ce who bought a lot of messy things in the past, Sun Ce sold a lot of messy things to the second-hand market when he was preparing for training. Now, except for a TV, TV cabinet, coffee table, sofa, and bookshelf, The living room is full of aerobic equipment and training plans for each equipment posted on the wall.

Bill Duffy looked at the things posted on the wall and couldn't help getting up to look...

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

Just as Bill Duffy was looking around the living room, Sun Ce came back from the kitchen.

Sun Ce put the teacup and the fruit plate that had been processed briefly on the coffee table and said, "Mr. Duffy, I'm sorry, there are only black tea and fruit. I don't have any snacks at home. I'm worried that eating them will affect my health."

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm curious about the things 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 have self-discipline like you. This is an advantage, I I don’t eat sweets anymore.”

Over the past week or so, Bill Duffy has been asking scouts from his agency to investigate Sun Ce, and the report given to him seems too simple.

Sun Ce's daily activities are very simple. He gets up very early in the morning and runs in the morning. In summer, when the sky is already bright at 5 o'clock in the morning, he can be seen running in the morning near his home at dawn.

Then he went to class and studied, and he seemed to be working very hard. After school, he was training again. He was often seen in the yard... It hasn't changed a day for more than a week.

There are many women around him, and he has not been shaken...

These are the reasons why Bill Duffy came to see Sun Ce in person, and wanted to confirm for himself.

It's not a troublesome thing. Bill Duffy also has a superstar named Steve Nash. His agency is located in Manhattan Beach, Los Angeles, in the next state, so it's not troublesome to come here.

After entering the living room and observing until now, Bill Duffy confirmed that Sun Cezhen is a very self-disciplined person just like the scout feedback report.

It also confirmed the rumors of "inspirational Chinese teenagers" that were very popular some time ago.

However, this can be regarded as Sun Ce's luck. If the scout had investigated his "past" in depth, the report back would be completely different.

The first time he came into contact with an agent, Sun Ce probably guessed that the other party might want to sign him, but he really didn't know how to show himself to be correct. In order to avoid superfluous, he just asked: "Mr. , what do you want to see me today?"

"It was Yao who recommended you to me and wanted me to help you find opportunities to gain a foothold in the American basketball world." Bill Duffy said.

"Yao? Yao Ming?" Sun Ce didn't expect Yao Ming to be the matchmaker!

"That's right, so many domestic reporters came to interview me on the day of the game. A few days ago, some domestic reporters wandered outside the school and were almost arrested by the police... Yao Ming must have known me. It was written in the news that I was the first in the NBA. The starting Asian guard and the first Asian guard to score in double figures in a single game in the NBA,

I didn't expect that I didn't know Yao Ming yet, so he came to help me first, he really deserves to be the future chairman of the Blue Association..."

While Sun Ce was thinking, Bill Duffy continued: "My agency is in charge of handling Yao's basketball affairs in the United States. You should understand this. I don't know if you are interested in cooperating. I will do my best. Trying to help you get a contract in the NBA while also using Yao's name to help you increase your chances of getting into the NBA..."

Three sentences are not far from Yao Ming... Just like Bill Duffy in Sun Ce's impression, he is good at playing the relationship card.

Bill Duffy really wants to sign Sun Ce now. First of all, he has confirmed that Sun Ce is a self-disciplined and hardworking person. More importantly, Sun Ce's performance in the NBA game, 21 points and 10 assists...even if Sun Ce That game was just a pure explosion. In the eyes of many people, his strength is not too bad, and there must be a foundation of strength in order to explode.

Even if Sun Ce's normal strength can only get half of that data, he is still very good. A point guard who can get 10+5 chances in the NBA is already very good. Don't worry about not having a team to sign.

Sun Ce didn't expect that the other party proposed to sign him so quickly, and he was a little at a loss. He thought that an agent might come to him, but he didn't expect that there would be more than 30 NBA players under him. The top brokers come to your door.

It seems that he understands the character of Chinese people very well. Bill Duffy didn’t think there was anything wrong with Sun Ce’s hesitation. Usually when he went to meet other players, if they were black or white players, he would jump up with excitement, but the Chinese One of the impressions people give Bill Duffy is that he thinks a lot. To use an idiom to describe it, he looks forward and backward.

"OK, Noah, it's okay if I call you that." Seeing Sun Ce nodding, Bill Duffy continued, "Maybe you don't know me yet, but we will get to know each other better in the future. Whether we can cooperate or not, I promise Yao If I want to help you, I will definitely help, and then we will prepare for the draft."

These words brought Sun Ce back to his senses immediately, and he asked suspiciously, "Draft? Can I still participate in the draft after I have already played in the NBA?"

Bill Duffy shook his head and said: "No, it's just a love game. It's an event of the Suns. We can't just make sure that you can't participate in the draft. You have a contract with the Suns, I know, but that The contract does not comply with the rules of the NBA. It was only signed because it was an event of the Suns. There is no one-day contract in the NBA, at least ten days."

"Is there such a saying?" Sun Ce thought for a while, it seemed that he had only heard of someone who signed a 10-day short contract with a certain team, but never heard of someone who signed a one-day contract with a certain team .

The most important point is that the Suns and the official NBA official in charge of auditing activities can't think of just finding an amateur Chinese player who has never played in the NCAA. The head coach really dares to give 30 minutes of playing time. This amateur player can really play such a performance , which once aroused heated discussions among fans.

Is there really a chance?
