Healthy basketball, starting from eating the old Lakers F4

Chapter 26 Pingci marketing, formal signing, firing Bill Duffy!

I was very excited when I wrote the last chapter, but when I saw it the next day, it seemed too self-excited.

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 was beaten and stood at attention. In order to make up for everyone's loss, today's three chapters are tense.

...The following is the text...

As the saying goes, sports stars are also stars.

In terms of worldwide popularity, not only are Olympic athletes no worse than international superstars, they even have a higher national reputation.

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 big ball project.

Du En is also ambitious. In the 08 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 12, as long as Yao Ming can still play, Du En can also try to change his life against the sky and continue the glory of the men's basketball team.

Looking back, Du En can fight if he can, and mix if he can.

As long as his career in the national team is long enough and he accumulates enough data, he will undoubtedly become the No. 1 player in the men's basketball team.

However, considering the current backfire, the chaotic men's basketball youth training system.

I'm afraid that 20 years later, Du En will still be the star of the men's basketball team, supporting the Zijin Liang, and then slowly becoming a national treasure-level veteran similar to Wiggins...

"Son, let's go back first, play well here, and strive to win glory for the 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 good at thinking, and some people are afraid that the world will not be chaotic.

If the glass at home is smashed, it will be smashed, as long as you are fine.

Immediately I will sign a contract with the Lakers. When the contract of several million dollars is in hand, our family will not be short of money. "

After sending his father, relatives and friends on the plane, Du En's draft meeting finally came to an end.

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.

Dunn knew very well in his heart that there were three old football hooligans who were dying in Los Angeles, and a small ball bully who had made mistakes, closed himself, and paranoid, waiting for him.

In order to ensure that the Lakers F4 can win the championship this season, Duane must say that sentence to them-you really need me!
Although, at this time, Du En has not yet considered clearly how to solve the trouble of OK's civil strife.

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.

It will be a simple matter that Du En won the championship with his legs wrapped around his legs, and continued to upgrade after obtaining the championship template.

"It's up to you, Fathead Fish!"

As long as the mind does not slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties!
If you want to solve the Lakers' civil strife, you still have to start with the current boss of the Lakers-Shaq O'Neal.

Looking at various marketing plans, there is a low-cost and high-efficiency method of hype, and that is porcelain marketing.

With the help of media and public opinion, as well as the natural prying desire and curiosity of the people who eat melons, usually only a small composition is needed, and a leader in the porcelain industry can get a lot of attention.

Then subtly let the melon eaters who don't know the truth mistakenly believe that the marketer is the second in the industry after leading companies.

Dunn relies on the Chinese market and is inextricably linked with Nike.

As long as Duane is willing to relax some conditions and sign with Nike.

With the help of Nike and the introduction of ESPN's media, it is not impossible to touch O'Neal at that time, giving people the illusion that Duane is coming to the Lakers to grab the second child.

After all, Kobe, who made a mistake, will be blocked by the league officials.

Fans don't wait to see him anymore. Even his true fans, some of them will slip away early because they are not good at playing against the wind.

Only his black fans will always be entangled with him.Therefore, black fans are often the most iron, and iron fans are often black.

Under such circumstances, the scandal and popularity of Kobe will inevitably dissipate over time.

Dunn only needs to strengthen cooperation with Nike and ESPN at this time and increase marketing efforts.

Who will be the second child of the Lakers at that time, then maybe.

Maybe, O'Neal will become Kobe's substitute, but will be occupied by Du Enjiu.

In short, who can say what will happen in the future!
Of course, Duane didn't come to the Lakers to cause havoc, and Duane didn't want to mess up the Lakers' locker room.

Duane just wanted to take advantage of the fire and take advantage of the civil strife in OK in a short period of time to control the right to speak in the Lakers locker room step by step.

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 palace fighting in the locker room. Writing an autobiography can control the mind of the players, the core of the PUA team, and let the leading players fight each other for profit.

It can only be said, who is a serious person to write 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 no authority.

And the power of the Lakers itself is firmly grasped by Old Buss.

At the same time, Old Bath asked for a sky-high contract from O'Neill, and complained a lot about Zen Master's desire to be promoted.

When he thought about the summer of 04, 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 Duane, a 13th pick in the first round, wants to cooperate with the Lakers owner in a whimsical way, and wants to be the leader of the Lakers' locker room. Isn't this too crazy?
In fact, when you are backed by a huge market of [-] to [-] million fans, and a big company like Nike has to take the initiative to seek cooperation, you also have the confidence to try to swallow elephants!

As the saying goes, barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes.

Anyway, if it fails, there will be no worse end.

In a big deal, they will be traded away. Anyway, after the Lakers F4 is disbanded, the Lakers will be bad in the next few years.

So, why did Duane hang himself on the dead tree of the Lakers?
On the contrary, it succeeded. Duane can use his control of the locker room to push the Lakers F4 to integrate internal forces.

The only way to ensure that the OK combination continues to maintain internal cohesion is to use the power of the Lakers F4 to seek the NBA championship they want.

Then, by colluding with Nike and ESPN to further expand his influence on the league and the outside world, Dunn can obtain greater personal benefits!

……

Time soon came to June 6, and Duan arrived in Los Angeles accompanied by Bill Duffy.

After two days of negotiations, Dunn finally completed the rookie signing with the Lakers.

In fact, the content of the contract was settled on the first day. After all, the first round of shows is a standard standard contract.

The Lakers were so thirsty for Du En that they directly alarmed Buss when negotiating the contract.

Therefore, in terms of the contract amount, the upper limit is also directly filled with sincerity, which is 120% of the standard amount.

Both parties have a very strong willingness to sign the contract, and nothing unpleasant happened during the negotiation process.

In short, Dunn signed the first contract of his career with the Lakers.

For a period of four years, the starting salary is 150 million, and the next three years are 161 million, 172 million, and 217 million, for a total of 700 million dollars in four years.

As for why it took 2 days?This mainly needs to do a full-scale entry medical examination again.

The Lakers can only formally make a decision to complete the contract with Duane only if they get a medical report with no potential injuries, or consider that the injury factor will not affect Duane's next career.

In addition, the Lakers also need to report Duane's contract to the league, plus a series of entry procedures.

In fact, Dunn and the Lakers got everything done within two days, which is considered very fast.

Usually, it takes a week for rookies to report to the team before they can successfully sign with the team.

And during this week, the team will also notify the league sponsors to ask them to do special things and 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, there are also some rookies who cannot be formally qualified to 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, Old Buss took the initiative to shake hands with Dunn.

Duane replied with a smile: "Thank the Los Angeles Lakers for trusting me.

I am willing to give my all to the Lakers as I did to the Syracuse Oranges before winning the NCAA championship.

I can promise you that within the period of this contract, I will definitely win at least one championship for you!
If you can't, you can fire me! "

"Haha, you are our future, even if I didn't make it, how could 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 said suddenly: "Then, please allow me to make a request to you!

Please pay my agent, Bill Duffy, this salary 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 am very grateful to Bill for my participation in the draft, busy work, and everything he has done.

However, I still decided to go the rest of the way 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 beyond shocked.

He never thought in advance that Dunn would immediately fire him in front of the Lakers boss Old Buss after signing his rookie contract.

The sudden show, flashed his waist.As a victim, Bill Duffy couldn't figure out what was going on in Dunn's mind.

However, through the draft that just ended not long ago, Bill Duffy also initially saw the huge energy hidden behind Dunn.

A late second-round prospect before the draft, he was quickly promoted to a mid-first-round prospect through workouts.

Then he was lucky enough to enter the small green house, and finally became a lottery pick, and was signed by the NBA giants Los Angeles Lakers. This experience is too legendary!

In order to save Du En, a big fish, Bill Duffy had to lower his voice: "Du En, I can understand your thoughts.

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 working with Yao Ming, and I also had a great time working with you, right? "

"Bill, thank you very much for your previous efforts.

But I am now a Los Angeles Lakers player!

I trust Mr. Bass and is happy to help me with my business problems.

I believe that in the next four years, I will also have a good time with Mr. Bass. "

Dunn said NBA players don't need more than 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, Duane is still just a rookie, and the Lakers can eat Duane'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.

How could Old Bath not agree to such a good thing delivered to your door?
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! "
