I was very excited when I wrote the last chapter, but when I read it the next day, it seemed too self-exciting.
Fortunately, it’s still a free chapter, so everyone should still be able to accept it, right? This kind of problem will definitely not occur when it is put on the shelves, guaranteed.
Well, I stand upright after being beaten. In order to make up for everyone's losses, I will write three chapters today.
...The following is the text...
As the saying goes, sports stars are also stars.
In terms of worldwide popularity, Olympic athletes are not only no worse than international superstars, they even have higher national fame.
Even niche projects can be sought after as long as they can bring glory to the country, and both China and the United States will blossom.
This is not to mention the most watched major football project.
Du En is also ambitious. In the 2008 Olympics, if Yao Ming can stay healthy, Du En is confident that he can lead the men's basketball team to win medals.
As for 2012, as long as Yao Ming can still play, Du En can also try to change his destiny and continue the glory of the men's basketball team.
Looking back, Du En can fight when he can, and mix when he can.
As long as his career in the national team is long enough and he accumulates enough data, he will undoubtedly become the number one player in the men's basketball team.
However, considering the current unfavorable and chaotic men's basketball youth training system.
I am afraid that twenty years later, Du En will still be the white jade pillar of the men's basketball team, holding the purple and gold beam, and then slowly become a national treasure-level veteran similar to Wiggins...
"Son, let's go back first, play well here, and strive to bring glory to our country when we return.
By the way, take care of yourself and don’t be too tired.
The body is the capital of revolution, so don’t work too hard. Injuring yourself during practice is definitely a good thing. "
"Dad, I advise you to go back and hide for a while. Don't show your face in public. It's better to avoid the limelight.
There are always people who are not very smart, and there are people who are afraid that the world will not be in chaos.
If the glass in your home was smashed, it was smashed. Just hope you guys are fine.
I will sign a contract with the Lakers soon. When I get a multi-million dollar contract, our family will not be short of money. "
After sending his father, relatives and friends on the plane, Du En's draft finally came to a successful conclusion.
Next, Duane will go to Los Angeles, accompanied by his agent, to discuss matters related to rookie signings with the Lakers management.
After signing his rookie contract, Duane will officially put on the purple and gold jersey and follow the Los Angeles Lakers to participate in the upcoming summer league.
Duan knew very well that there were three dying old basketball hooligans in Los Angeles, as well as a young basketball tyrant who had made mistakes, was autistic and paranoid, waiting for him.
In order to ensure that Lakers F4 can win the championship this coming season, Duan must say that to them - you need me so much!
Although, Du En has not yet thought clearly about how to solve the civil unrest in OK.
However, putting aside the civil strife, the Lakers F4 is definitely the favorite among the favorites to win the championship.
In other words, as long as the most troublesome problem of OK's civil strife can be solved.
Duen hugged his legs to win the championship, and it will be a simple matter to obtain the championship template and continue to upgrade.
"The decision is yours, Fathead Fish!"
As long as your thinking does not slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties!
If you want to solve the Lakers' internal strife, you still have to start with the Lakers' current boss, Shaquille O'Neal.
Looking at various marketing plans, there is a low-cost and high-efficiency method of hype, and that is porcelain marketing.
As long as you rely on media public opinion and the natural snooping and curiosity of the people who eat melons, you can usually get a lot of attention with just a small article about the leader in the porcelain industry.
Then it subtly makes people who don't know the truth mistakenly think that marketers are the second best in the industry after leading companies.
Dunn relies on the Chinese market and is inextricably linked with Nike.
As long as Duen is willing to relax some conditions and sign a contract with Nike.
With the help of Nike and the media of ESPN, it is not impossible to encounter O'Neal and give people the illusion that Duan is coming to the Lakers to steal the second place.
After all, Kobe who made a mistake will be officially blacklisted by the league.
Fans no longer want to see him. Even some of his true fans will leave early because they are not good at playing against the wind.
Only his negative fans will always be entangled with him. Therefore, black powder is often the strongest, and iron powder is often black.
Under such circumstances, the scandal and popularity surrounding Kobe will inevitably dissipate over time.
As long as Duan strengthens cooperation with Nike and ESPN at this time, he will increase marketing efforts.
It's uncertain who will be the Lakers' No. 2 player by then.
Maybe, O'Neal will become Kobe's substitute, but will be occupied by Du Enjiu.
In short, who can say for sure what will happen in the future!
Of course, Du En did not come to the Lakers to cause damage, and Du En did not want to mess up the Lakers locker room.
Duen just wanted to take advantage of the situation and took advantage of the civil unrest in OK in a short period of time to gradually control the say in the Lakers locker room.
In many teams, the leader of the locker room is not the team boss. Just like Haslem in the Heat, Green in the Warriors.
If Duen wants to control the voice in the locker room, he must either get the approval of the team boss, or the support of the team owner, general manager, and head coach.
O'Neal, the team boss, was the target of Du En's murderous attack.
Head coach Zen Master, that definitely won’t work.
Zen Master is a well-known master of locker room fights. When writing his autobiography, he can openly write down the things he did to mentally control players, the core of the PUA team, and let the top players fight among themselves to make a profit...
All I can say is, who serious person writes an autobiography?
Considering that general manager Kupchak has just taken office not long ago, his foundation in the Lakers is not too deep and he has little authority.
The power of the Lakers itself is firmly grasped by Buss.
At the same time, Old Bass demanded a sky-high contract from O'Neal, and complained a lot about the Zen Master's desire to rise to the top.
When he thought about the summer of 2004, when Old Bass directly eliminated O'Neal and Jackson, Du En knew who to cooperate with and who to look for as a backer.
Some people may think that Dunn, the 13th pick in the first round, wants to cooperate with the Lakers owner and become the leader of the Lakers' locker room. Is this too stupid?
In fact, when you are backed by a huge market of 200-300 million fans, and when a large company like Nike has to proactively seek contracts and cooperation, you have the confidence to try She Tun Xiang!
As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes.
Anyway, if you fail, there will be no worse outcome.
The worst case scenario is that he will be traded away. Anyway, after the disbandment of Lakers F4, the Lakers will be in trouble for the next few years.
So, why did Duen hang himself on the dead tree of the Lakers?
On the contrary, it was successful. Duan could use control of the locker room to push Lakers F4 to integrate internal forces.
The only way is to ensure that the OK group continues to maintain internal cohesion and use the power of Lakers F4 to pursue the NBA championship they want.
Then by colluding with Nike and ESPN to further expand his influence on the league and the outside world, Du En can gain greater personal benefits!
…
Time soon came to June 28, and Duan arrived in Los Angeles accompanied by Bill Duffy.
After two days of negotiations, Duan finally completed the rookie signing with the Lakers.
In fact, the contract content was settled on the first day. After all, first-round picks have standard contracts.
The Lakers were so thirsty for Du En that they directly alarmed Buss when negotiating the contract.
Therefore, in terms of the contract amount, we also directly raise the upper limit with full sincerity, which is 120% of the standard amount.
Both parties have a very strong willingness to sign, and nothing unpleasant happened during the negotiation process.
In short, Duan signed the first contract of his career with the Lakers.
It lasts for four years, with a starting salary of 1.5 million, followed by 1.61 million, 1.72 million, and 2.17 million in the next three years, for a total of US$7 million over four years.
As for why it takes 2 days? This mainly requires re-doing a comprehensive physical examination.
The Lakers can only make a formal decision to sign a contract with Duen only after they receive a physical examination report that shows no injury risks, or consider that the injury will not affect Duen's subsequent career.
In addition, the Lakers also need to report Duan's contract to the league, plus a series of entry procedures.
In fact, Du En and the Lakers got everything done in two days, which is considered very fast.
Usually, it takes a week for a rookie to register before he can successfully sign with the team.
Within this week, the team will also notify the league sponsors and ask them to make special arrangements to expedite the production of rookie jerseys.
When the signing is officially completed, a media meeting can be held immediately to demonstrate the cooperation between the two parties.
In addition, some rookies are not eligible to officially sign with the team until they have participated in the summer league for the team.
"Dunn, welcome to become a member of the Los Angeles Lakers!"
After completing the signing, Bass took the initiative to shake hands with Du En.
Duane smiled and replied: "Thank you to the Los Angeles Lakers for trusting me.
I am willing to contribute all my strength to the Lakers just like I did for the Syracuse Orange when they won the NCAA championship.
I can promise you that within the term of this contract, I will definitely win at least one championship for you!
If you can't do that, you can fire me! "
"Haha, you are our future. Even if you don't do it, how can I have the heart to fire you?"
Old Buss felt that Duan had lofty ambitions and courage, so he also took the initiative to shoot. Duan was the future of the Lakers.
Du En didn't pay much attention to this, but suddenly said: "Then, please allow me to make a request to you!
Please pay my agent Bill Duffy the salary he deserves as soon as possible.
I am a pure player, I come from the NCAA, and I don’t want to be overly exposed to business.
I'm grateful for everything Bill did to get me through the draft.
However, I still decided to walk the next road alone. "
"I haven't even earned a large amount of commercial endorsement commissions through you, and you're just going to get rid of me and fire me?"
Bill Duffy was extremely shocked.
He never thought in advance that Dunn would fire him immediately in front of Lakers boss Buss after signing his rookie contract.
The sudden excitement hit his waist. As a victim, Bill Duffy couldn't guess what Duan was thinking.
However, through the draft that just ended not long ago, Bill Duffy also had an initial glimpse of the huge energy hidden behind Duan.
A rookie who was a late-second-round prospect before the draft quickly rose through workouts to a mid-first-round prospect.
Then he was lucky enough to enter the Little Green Room, and eventually became a lottery pick and was signed by the NBA giant Los Angeles Lakers. This experience is too legendary!
In order to save Duan, the big fish, Bill Duffy had to humble himself: "Duen, I can understand your thinking.
However, NBA players need agents.
We can continue to cooperate, and I can help you handle business matters so that you will not be disturbed by the outside world.
Have you forgotten Yao Ming? I had a great time cooperating with Yao Ming, and I had a great time cooperating with you, right? "
"Bill, thank you very much for your previous efforts.
But now I’m a Los Angeles Lakers player!
I trust Mr. Bass and will be happy to help me solve my business problems.
I believe that in the next four years, I will also have a good time getting along with Mr. Bass. "
Dunn said NBA players don’t just need an agent.
Look at Nowitzki's agent - Mavericks owner Mark Cuban!
This kind of invisible fan agent not only does not take commissions, but will quickly bring the relationship between the boss and the players closer.
If a player negotiates a maximum salary contract with the team, the relationship between the player and the owner may be hurt if the player is too close.
However, Duen is still a rookie, and the Lakers can enjoy Duen's rookie bonus for the next four years.
Moreover, Duen is also a Chinese player and has huge commercial value behind him.
Du En's intention is undoubtedly to leave all future business cooperation to the Lakers.
Why wouldn't Old Bass agree to such a good thing brought to his doorstep?
It just so happens that the Lakers have been having a tough time recently, and this is undoubtedly a rain for the Buss family who has been in drought for a long time.
"Don't worry, Duffy, we will pay you your due salary as soon as possible.
Please rest assured that Duan is a player of our Los Angeles Lakers.
We will definitely take good care of him for you! "
