One Guard

　　 In BDA Sports Manager's company, a middle-aged man with a slight fat and gray hair is looking at the computer screen in front of him attentively.

　　 On the computer screen, a yellow-skinned No. 1 defender with black braids is happily receiving the Final Four MOP trophy from an NCAA official. Not only that, today, NCAA officials also officially announced that Yiyang was selected to the All-American Second Team and the Best Defensive Second Team. As for why they are only the second team, it must be blamed on the same position, John Wall, who stole Yiyang's limelight. If there were no such "quasi-champion" Wall, Yiyang would definitely be selected for a while.

　　 can stand out among hundreds of talented college players, this number one guard is indeed worthy of attention. You know, in these two lineups, there are very few international players. What's more, his yellow skin reminded the middle-aged man in front of the computer of another guy.

　　 The middle-aged man presses the pause button, and the screen freezes at the moment Yiyang lifts the MOP trophy above his head. He took a sip of coffee, picked up the phone on the computer desk, and dialed a call.

　　 This call is not to other places in the United States, but an international long distance across China and the United States! After a while, the middle-aged man's phone was connected.

"Hey, Duffy, how are you. It's 8 o'clock in the evening in China, and it's still morning on your side? So what's the matter with you calling me early in the morning?" The guy on the phone started with the middle-aged man. It's a joke.

　　 "How is the injury?" The middle-aged man named Duffy asked with concern.

　　 "What else, the whole world knows, my injury is not optimistic. After doing Duffy, you can stop going around with me, what's the matter?"

　　 "Hey, I want to inquire about someone with you." The middle-aged man heard the other party's words, and he didn't mean anything.

　　 "Tell me about people? God, there are people in this world that you need to inquire about?" There was a burst of laughter on the other end of the phone.

"Yes, he is a Chinese, from the same country as you, Yao. His name is Yiyang. He has been very popular in the NCAA recently. Do you know him?" The middle-aged man inquired about the banner of Chinese basketball. Sex, Yao Ming! And this middle-aged man is the former manager of Yao Ming in the NBA, Bill Duffy!

"Yiyang? I heard about him recently. Don’t you all say that he is likely to be selected in the first round? But it’s a pity that Du Fei, I don’t know him. I have never even heard of such a number before. People." Yao Ming began to think seriously in his mind. Before the NCAA, neither the local youth team nor the national youth team had the name Yiyang. In fact, Yao Ming himself is also full of curiosity about this Chinese defender who suddenly appeared.

　　 "Really? That guy is really mysterious." Duffy looked at Yiyang on the computer screen. This kid's pre-NCAA resume was almost blank!

　　 "Why, he doesn't have a manager yet?" Yao Ming smiled. In that case, Bill Duffy should have liked Yiyang.

"As far as I know, no. I think I have to go to Indianapolis in person." Bill Duffy looked out the window, maybe this number one guard will be the second person to rise up after Yao Ming. Where's the Chinese superstar? Duffy knew that his vision was always accurate.

　　 "Manager? I have no money to hire a manager." In Indianapolis, in the head coach's office at Butler University Singer Arena, Yiyang is talking with his mentor Stevens.

　　 This office is no longer as messy as before. In order to put down the championship trophy, Stevens even asked someone to put a display rack here.

　　 But that heavy-looking trophy can only represent the glorious past of the Bulldogs. What Yiyang and Stevens are talking about is the future ahead.

　　 After finishing his NCAA career perfectly, Yiyang couldn't relax because he won the championship and won the MOP award. On the contrary, the real turning point in Yiyang's life has just come.

　　NBA, professional basketball, these things are things that Yiyang has to consider now. Stevens wanted to give Yiyang some advice, but he found that this guy who had signed up for the draft was almost unprepared. Just now, Stevens knew that he didn't even know that a professional player needed something like a manager!

　　 After all, in the era when Yiyang's father played, the professional level of the domestic league was not high. Yiyang's father, who rose step by step from the youth team, did not have a manager, and he obeyed the team's arrangements.

　　 Although they are all professional basketballs, there is a huge gap between professional basketball at that time and the road Yiyang will take now.

"No money to hire a manager? I...I can help you pay! Without a manager, who will take you to the trial, who will help you negotiate the contract, how do those NBA teams contact you. These, you are all Haven't thought about it?" Stevens was a little anxious. If his most proud student was delayed because of the manager's problem, he would definitely be very sad.

　　 "I can do it myself, since I was young, I can do everything by myself." Yiyang replied innocently, making Stevens dumbfounded and sympathetic at the same time. After all, it is impossible for Yiyang to have access to these things in places like the Wood District.

"Well...how do I tell you? Managers, they are like...like the coaches in a player’s life! Yes, coach! Think about it, when playing a game As a coach, we are an indispensable part!" Stevens said, Yiyang nodded in agreement.

"And a professional player needs a coach on the basketball court. In life, someone has to teach them what to do and help them deal with some complicated things. This person is the manager!" Stevens simply Admire his own analogy, so Yiyang should be able to understand it.

　　 "But..."

"Stop it! I promise that on the night we won the championship, countless managers sent you self-recommended text messages. Don't wonder how they got your phone number, as long as they want it, the President of the United States' private They can get you the number. Come, tell me, who has sent you a self-recommendation message!" Stevens interrupted Yiyang’s speech. In the manager’s section, Stevens Si thought to himself that he must help Yiyang to check it out. Otherwise, Yiyang himself can only suffer.

　　Yiyang turned out the text messages on his mobile phone, and read one name after another without emotion.

　　 "Paul Finson, Eric Senna, Harrison Gay, Xavier Wright..."

　　 Yiyang read these names while Stevens shook his head in disappointment. Among these guys, no one is worth recommending. They are a group of unknown guys, hoping to make a fortune through Yiyang. What Yiyang needs is someone who can make him better, not through himself to make others better.

　　 With this group of unfamiliar and experienced "three-no" managers, Yiyang might fall directly to the second round!

　　 "Oh...any more?" Stevens sighed, not expecting much.

"There is another person who called me this morning and said that he rushed to Indianapolis to meet me and wanted to talk to me. I rejected him directly at first, but he still insisted. Now, it is estimated that he is on the plane. Right." Yiyang thought back earnestly.

　　 "What is this person's name?"

　　 "Bill Duffy."

　　 "Who!" Stevens suddenly "flicked" from his chair.

　　 "Bill Duffy." Yiyang said the name again in a cold voice. He didn't know how loud this guy's name was.

"Bill Duffy!? God, you are so lucky. If he wants to be your manager, boy, I promise you will make a lot of money!" Stevens now looks like Biyi Yang himself was even more excited. If it were Bill Duffy, Stevens would feel relieved to send Yiyang out.

　　 "Is he... very good?" Seeing that Stevens was so excited after hearing this name, Yiyang was full of doubts~www.novelmtl.com~ The top five basketball managers in the United States! It has 30 NBA players, and the total salary of the players is far more than 100 million US dollars. Moreover, he is also Yao's manager in the NBA! You say, is he good? "Stevens asked rhetorically.

　　 "Yao? Yao Ming?"

"That's right! Yao Ming! Before Yao Ming entered people's field of vision, Duffy started paying attention to him. If it weren't for him, Yao Ming would probably not sign up for the draft that year! It can be said that he is better than any other Everyone must know how to make a Chinese player succeed in the NBA!"

　　 Just as Stevens and Yiyang's master and apprentice were in a heated discussion, Yiyang's cell phone suddenly rang. Yiyang picked up his mobile phone and looked at it. It was an unfamiliar number. After the call was connected, the voice of a middle-aged man rushed into Yiyang's ears.

　　 "Remember me? I'm Bill Duffy. We used the phone before. I am now at Indianapolis International Airport. Where can I find you?"

　　 Yiyang was stunned and did not answer.

　　 "Who is it?" Seeing Yiyang did not respond for a long time, Stevens asked with concern.

　　 "He said, his name is Bill Duffy." The name from Yiyang's icy tone made Stevens smile.

"Hurry up and call your mother. You don't need to find a manager. The best candidate has been delivered. Tonight, we will discuss your upcoming career!" Stevens knew , Really capable players do not need to find a manager on their own.

　　Because of them, they are the objects that various managers are going to compete for.

　　 Stevens believes that Bill Duffy, who has heard the news, will definitely make a good start for Yiyang's career!
