NBA peak Jordan template

Chapter 34 Broker Finalized

November 11, Detroit, early morning.

For the first time, Zheng Long did not choose to go to the arena for training. He asked Wharton for leave and came to an old restaurant in Detroit alone.

An old man in a suit is sitting in a corner of the restaurant, elegantly cutting a steak.

When Zheng Long walked towards him, the old man wiped the corners of his mouth unhurriedly, stood up, stretched out his palm, and showed a gentle smile.

"I thought you were a bit like him when I was on TV, and now I feel more like him."

Zheng Long held David Falk's hand friendly, his palm was very warm.

As Jordan's agent, one of the most famous agents in the NBA, this old man has an aura that makes people feel close.

It is two completely different styles from Rich Paul's comfort after speaking.

"What you're not saying is that I'm a bit like Jordan, are you?"

"Otherwise, the playing styles and technical movements of the two of you are almost carved out of the same mold."

Zheng Long: "."

Zheng Long really wanted to immediately take out a mirror and take a picture, to see if the system was slowly plasticizing himself besides his bald head.

Like, darkened skin tone?

How could I look like that braised egg!

For a moment, Zheng Long began to doubt whether Falk might be old and dim-sighted.

"I mean temperament and on the court. Physically you are one of the most handsome Chinese people I have ever seen."

"That's it."

Zheng Long sat down satisfied. This old man is also a monster like Rich Paul, and he can guess what people are thinking just by his expression.

"We have discussed the details of the contract over the phone and email. This is the contract. You can read it. If you confirm that there is no problem, sign it and I will be your manager in the future."

Falk took out a contract and put it on the table. After Zheng Long read it carefully, he took the pen handed over by Falk.

There was no rush to sign.

Zheng Long, "I want to explain one thing in advance. In terms of sneaker contracts, I will not choose Nike."

Falk's expression didn't change, and he didn't seem surprised by this statement.

But Zheng Long was surprised.

Because Falk can be said to have made a huge contribution to Nike becoming the greatest sports brand.

In 1984, let Nike choose Jordan.Looking at it now, it was this decision that allowed Nike to quickly jump from a 2% market share to a global leader of more than 40%.

"As an agent, I will provide you with choices, but I will not help you make choices. You don't have to worry about this. I will do my best to help you make whatever brand you want to sign."

"Won't you recommend I choose Nike?"

"Of course I will. Signing Nike is indeed your best choice at the moment, but I would love to hear your thoughts."

"OK, after signing the contract, I'll give you some brands, you can help me to talk about it."

Zheng Long quickly signed the contract, and then wrote down the names of several brands on a blank piece of paper.

Falk took the paper with some curiosity, he had never heard the names of these brands.

"Live and learn, it seems that I need to make up for my knowledge."

Falk smiled wryly.

Zheng Long, "These are all Chinese sports brands."

Falk suddenly realized, and there was something else in Zheng Long's eyes.

This young man is more special than he thought.

The two briefly communicated about other matters, and they will talk online after meeting.

In this information age, communication is a very convenient thing, just by email and phone.

Falk sighed, "The world is changing too fast. When I first became an agent, the agent almost had to follow the player every step of the way."

Zheng Long smiled, "I didn't expect you to contact me. In fact, I thought you had retired a long time ago and were no longer an agent."

Falk nodded, "That's true. But when I saw you on TV, I was willing to go crazy again before entering the coffin. I didn't expect that you would choose me who is about to grow old."

Zheng Long didn't answer, but left after showing a polite smile.

The matter of the agent was finally finalized.

Compared to Rich Paul, David Falk does feel better about himself, and this old man has a characteristic.

Click till.

Fully respect your own choices, and even "disappear" completely, only appearing when needed.

On November 11th, the Lakers' fourth game came, away to the Detroit Pistons.

As a veteran team that joined the NBA in 1948, the Pistons are like Detroit, known as the "Motor City".

It has a glorious past, but has not kept up with the rapid development of the times. In the current era, it has become a marginal city in the United States.

The Pistons, in recent seasons, seem to have become one of the underdogs in the East.

The ancestors of the Pistons also had three NBA championships.

Before Jordan completely dominated the NBA in the 90s, the "Bad Boys" led by the smiling assassin Isaiah Thomas won consecutive NBA championships in 1989 and 1990.

The "Bad Boys Legion" have achieved proud enough results. They tortured the young Jordan and also contributed to Jordan's super evolution.

In the 2003-04 season, the "Pistons Five Tigers" won the third championship trophy for the Pistons in team history. They once again used the team's consistent defense of the subway to conquer the NBA and ended the Lakers' dream of restoration.

It is a pity that they did not complete the consecutive championships this time. The pride and conceit of the champion members caused dissatisfaction with the champion coach Larry Brown.

This team has gone downhill.

For five consecutive years, they did not enter the playoffs. It was not until last season that they ranked eighth in the Eastern Conference. Then they entered the playoffs and were swept by the Cavaliers.

The Pistons' home stadium, Little Caesars Arena, can accommodate more than 2 people, ranking among the top of all NBA teams' home stadiums.

But the attendance rate of their arena has not reached 90% for a long time, ranking at the bottom.

But today, the entire arena was packed.

Among the fans who attended the game, quite a few were not home fans, but Lakers fans wearing Lakers jerseys.

The performance of the Lakers' three-game winning streak has aroused the madness of some Lakers fans and awakened the enthusiasm in their bones.

They can't wait to see the Lakers win four straight.

Of course, quite a few of them came for Zheng Long!

This three-game highlight reel goes to the 20-minute man!
Media reporters also frantically poured into today's Little Caesars Arena.

When Zheng Long followed his teammates to the court for training, the Lakers fans who arrived early cheered!
Of course, Zheng Long saw Jenna again.

The woman looks sexier today than ever.

With fiery lips, he winked at Zheng Long.

Zheng Long didn't feel it, Russell and the others couldn't sit still.

"Long, why don't you introduce me to Jenna?"

"Go away, I'm not familiar with you."

"Huh? She almost took off her clothes and waited for you to pick up the gun. You two don't know each other well?"

"I said I don't know you well."
