On May 25, Susie traveled from Portland to Chicago.
He has an executive broker named O'Connor by his side, and an eight-figure deposit in his bank account.
"Jack, while other rookies are still working hard for a job, you have become a multi-millionaire. This is a dream week."
O'Connor is a 46-year-old white man. He has an 'annoying' face. Even though he was looking at Su Xi with a smile on his face, it took a week of observation for Su Xi to confirm that he was not 'releasing ridicule', but really trying to please himself.
This guy's eyebrows are raised high, the bridge of his nose is high, but his nostrils are pointed upward, his chin is tilted up, and he still has a little goatee. Because of years of fitness, he has maintained a good figure. He is 186cm tall and has very strong muscles, but his neck is very long. Even if he stood there quietly, he would give people the image of a arrogant and annoying person.
In fact, he only uses some honorifics when talking to Su Xi. When facing other people, he always has a arrogant attitude, and he tries his best to protect Su Xi, just like an overbearing Doberman.
He has worked at CAA for 11 years and previously served at Disney Agency. He has extensive experience in negotiation and handling complex matters. He even served as Nicolas Cage's executive agent in his early days. But his aggressive style of extreme pressure frequently embarrassed his employer, and by the time he found Goodwin, he was no longer able to survive in the entertainment industry.
After Su Xi had an hour-long conversation with him, Su Xi determined that this guy's advantages even included the fact that he could make Wei Tongjue Wax's nutritious meals delicious, so he selected O'Connor and Mike O'Connor.
The agreement they reached was $260,000 for two years, including food, accommodation and travel.
Both parties are very satisfied.
O'Connor's satisfaction is that he finally got a stable job with a base salary that is much higher than CAA. Although there is no commission, he has not received any commission for many years.
Su Xi is satisfied with finding an old agent who is familiar with business capabilities and does not require commission. Although he is arrogant and aggressive. However, this is the sports circle, not the entertainment circle, and strength is more important. The most important thing is that he now has a good relationship with the Goodwin brothers. If there is really any big order, Susie will entrust it to the cunning Goodwin brothers.
As for why Huang Xiaoman was not allowed to continue to be his American executive agent.
It's because Huang Xiaoman is too young and a woman. In the American brokerage circle, people naturally do not trust a 20-year-old beautiful broker. They will intuitively think that she is unprofessional. Moreover, she is still Asian and has many complicated relationships that are difficult to handle, and her experience is far from enough to become the executive agent of a popular rookie.
Therefore, Su Xi asked Huang Xiaoman to take charge of domestic affairs professionally. She doesn't have this problem at home, and Su Xi is sure that she has a lot of energy at home, and she can always do incredible things.
"Honestly, we don't need to be polite to Nike at all. The contract has been signed, why should we wait until after the draft to announce it? They are building momentum for LeBron James. Now all sports media are touting LeBron James's history as the No. 1 player. A sponsorship contract. Obviously we have more. We are 140 million US dollars in 5 years, and there is also a 5% sneaker dividend!"
"Boss, I have contacted some media, and they will do some reports on you in the near future. I have a good relationship with the media circle over the years." O'Connor gave Su Xi a look of affirmation.
"There is no need. We are keeping a low profile now." Su Xi said.
At this time, O'Connor's cell phone rang rapidly... After he became Su Xi's executive agent, his cell phone rang more and more frequently.
Then, Susie saw an impatient O'Connor, who yelled into the phone: "Hey, I told you, Jack doesn't have time. We have sent the trial training video to your email. If you feel Okay, just choose us. Don’t come to test us. We are not products in the supermarket window with special discounts. Don’t think that we will think your ninth pick is great.”
Snapped!
O'Connor hung up the phone and used the latest Motorola flip phone.
The moment he closed the phone, he felt like a swordsman killing a man in ten steps and sheathing his sword.
Su Xi gave him a thumbs up. Said: "I know why you can't survive in the entertainment industry."
"Boss, do you want me to be more restrained?" O'Connor narrowed his eyes, like a Tibetan mastiff making a docile golden-haired expression towards you.
"No, keep going." Su Xi said.
With Susie's permission, O'Connor cheered. He said: "Milwaukee is a rural place. I have never seen the world. After being picked ninth, I feel like I can boss others around. I look down on people who are more humble than top."
"..."
The plane took off and Su Xi closed her eyes. He will continue training in Chicago. He has made incredible progress in Cleveland in the past, which is why Nike is willing to bet so heavily on him.
Compared with the data reported when Suhi arrived in Cleveland, his statistics have improved in all aspects.
Super explosive talent. (Since 90 merged to 92, NBA top.)
Super strength talent. (93, unchanged. Grover doesn’t think Susie’s power needs to be increased.)
Super flexible talent. (Promoted from 94 to 95, the first to enter the super realm.)
Super speed talent. (74 has increased to 80, and the speed has reached the NBA average. The data set in this book is reasonable. Even an unknown ordinary player in the NBA may have a certain super talent. Because there is no one with poor talent who can play in the NBA. Really The watershed is between top and super, which is the 90-100 range.)
Excellent jumping talent. (72 is raised to 75, elite talent is raised to excellent talent.)
Elite agility talent. (71 increased to 74, the limit of elite talent.)
Excellent physical talent. (75, elite talent upgraded to excellent talent, super blood recovery and super recovery ability)
This is what the elf reads. (Elf evaluation system: ordinary, below 65. Elite, 65-74. Excellent, 75-84. Top, 85-94. Super 95-100.)
On Grover's report card, Susie's numbers were.
Body fat 6.8%, barefoot height 193 cm, weight 90 kg (down 1.5 kg), standing reach 262 cm (increased by nearly 2 cm), jumping in place 73 cm (increased 3 cm), jumping in place reaching 330 cm ( Increased by 4 cm), approach touch height is 346 cm (increased by 3 cm), approach bounce is 85 cm (increased by 2 cm.). [Note: Jumping talent is not just about height improvement. Including the take-off space, take-off speed... and other things that cannot be described concretely. 】
In addition, two items were added. Agility testing and three-quarter sprints.
The data are 11.88 seconds and 3/4 sprint time of 3.97 seconds.
In these two statistics, Su Xi is very ordinary.
Good defenders are usually within 11 seconds and 3 seconds and 1.
However, Susie got off to a strong start. He can reach the level of a top defender in three steps.
This gives people confidence in his defense in positional battles.
He's good at it too.
While Suzy and Rawls were still on the plane, Suzy's workout with the chair appeared on ESPN's basketball commentary program.
"Hey, LeBron, set up the chair for me. I'm going to do a few changes of direction and some shooting."
Along with Su Xi's voice, people then saw James placing a high stool on the court. Su Xi made several changes of direction and turning and dribbling movements towards the chair. Then he started to take shots. He shot 5 3s. Split the ball and hit 3. Then he made 5 more free throws and hit 4 of them.
Finally rushed in and had a one-handed dunk.
Tryout is over.
This is the trial information that Myers sent to the 11 teams in the league.
"It has to be said that MOP is the most arrogant and arrogant among this draft class. When other players were sweating like rain in the Orlando joint training camp, he actually disappeared. Does he think he is LeBron James? Even if he is LeBron, they all went to workouts," Tom Tolport said sarcastically on the TV show.
Jim Durham, sitting next to him, agreed with Tom. He said: "This is his way of maintaining his mystery. If he really goes to practice and really goes against the same rookies, I can guarantee that his current draft prediction price will still drop. In fact, he has already Dropped from the lottery to No. 20."
"Next, we have to see whether any team dares to make a big bet on him." Bill Walton said.
It's a huge show when they talk about Suzy so openly on TV and joke about his workout video coming out. This will be a heavy blow to Susi's draft stock...at least in public opinion.
Su Xi's reputation of not daring to compete with fellow rookies was also promoted through this program.
