Forward to the basket

Just like every tiger has its own exclusive territory, every agent who hangs around in the basketball circle also has his own territory. When someone decides to sign a player, others rarely intervene , after all, they are all living in this circle, so there is no need to get too stiff with their peers.

The NBA's current agent system is fully mature, and they all have their own established rules. Even if some things are not clearly stated, most people will consciously abide by them and will not easily go beyond them.

This circle also has its own rivers and lakes, there are big bosses who respond to everyone, and horse boys who work hard to make a living. Although the levels are different, most of them can keep their own one-third of an acre of land.

But occasionally there are people who break the rules, such as Pelinka who used to be under Tailem's banner. At the time, Tailem trusted this apprentice enough, so he handed over Kobe, Boozer, Maggette and others to Pelinka, but In the end, in the summer of 05, this apprentice played a game with the master to draw his salary from the bottom of the pot.

Basically, Pelinka wiped out all of Tailem's top clients, which can be regarded as a heavy loss.

Andy Miller was also despised by many agents because of his betrayal of his old club.

But this kind of people is still a minority after all. Although it seems to the outside world that those big-name agents have nothing to do with each other, in fact, these people have divided the nba into an extremely precise sphere of influence, and few people will take the initiative One step beyond the threshold, unless someone particularly likes to make trouble for others.

Of course, that is equivalent to directly provoking the opponent, especially when you put your hand into the opponent's pocket, the counterattack will be very violent, which cannot be simply summed up in ordinary business wars.

The established rules of the rivers and lakes make them go their own way within their own spheres of influence and not invade each other.

So when David Falk said in front of Feigen that he was going to sign Chen Feng, it was already sending a very clear signal to Feigen, "The kid you fancy is now mine. Now, don't touch him anymore, otherwise, I don't guarantee that something will happen."

Not to mention the illustrious fame that Falke achieved in the league at the beginning, just seeing Tarkanian's attitude towards the two of them, Feigen can understand that his trip to Las Vegas was in vain. It is basically impossible to get Chen Feng's agency, not to mention Falk, even Tarkanian is not happy.

Unless I can convince Chen Feng immediately, but this difficulty seems to be even more difficult than dealing with Falk.

Fagan seemed relatively bachelor, seeing that there was no room for turning around, he was still able to leave Tarkanian's office as a gentleman with a smile on his face.

At least in front of David Falk, Fagan can't lose his poise after losing a client.

"That guy actually has a very good wrist, in fact, that wild boy can't suffer from following him."

After Fegan left, Falk curled his lips, and just commented very casually on the top few famous agents who are currently ranked in the NBA.

However, if Feigen was here, he might feel uncomfortable, but he would not refute anything. After all, compared with Falk, his wrist was not as good as that former No.1.

"To be honest, David, I really didn't expect you to come here in person. I thought you guys were really ready to retire from this circle. When Bowman called me back yesterday, I kept thinking about whether it was him. Taking over the contract about Chen Feng, I was still worried that if that kid came, he would be scared away by Fagen and Bill, after all, he is no match for these old guys."

When Tarkanian and Falke were the only ones left in the office, the direct conversation between the two old men seemed much more relaxed, and Falke did not have the strong feeling he had when facing Fagan.

"Don't underestimate that guy Bowman, he is much more famous in Serbia and Montenegro than I am, and the stars in the former Yugoslavia all trust him. However, compared with the relationship in Europe, he is still a little weaker at home. , the main reason is that this guy really doesn't have many local stars who can make a move."

"As you said, although I brought him out, he still looks a little tender after fighting with Bill Duffy and Fagan. I can't help it. You speak up. I can only pay attention to that kid personally. Yes, who made us old friends, 30 years, this is the first time you speak."

When Falk talked about other colleagues, his expression did not change at all, as full of confidence as before, or in other words, very domineering.

But this guy does have this kind of confidence. The super pusher who was able to mediate between the two parties in the last labor negotiation, could it be an ordinary person?

If Stein knew that the big devil in the agent circle was back, he would probably have a headache. After all, he hadn't fought Falk once or twice.

At the beginning, there was a rumor in the NBA that besides Stein, Falk was the ruler, with nearly 80 players under his command, he could single-handedly leverage the transfer market.

Even if this old guy has retired for almost a year, none of those latecomers can surpass him.

Falk can be regarded as a legend in the circle of agents. No one in the past can be sure. As for whether he will be able to do so, no one can be stronger than him now anyway.

Dare to slap the table with the manager of any team, this is not just anyone who dares to do it. Speaking of it now, except for Falk, no one else really has the confidence.

"I thought that after you resigned as the CEO of sfx company, you would travel around the world with your family instead of wading into the muddy waters of this circle."

Although Falke personally agreed to sign Chen Feng, Tarkanian was still a little uneasy. For the sake of that kid, he could only make sure of everything as much as possible, after all, it was related to that kid's future.

"I resigned because I don't have many players worthy of me. You know, after Mike and Ewing retired, no one is worthy of my continued efforts."

"When you have experienced the feeling of the peak, it is easy to feel more empty after the fall. It's like you led unlv to win the ncaa championship, and it's no fun to be the second. When those guys leave the league, I I thought there was no need to continue, so I resigned."

"You know, I've earned enough. Like you said, I actually wanted to relax a long time ago."

When Falk said these words, he paused slightly, as if recalling his most glorious moment, the 20 years that belonged to him, the madness of an agent changing the salary structure.

"Okay, David, don't show off your past achievements in front of me. Everyone knows that the highest annual salary of the signed players under your banner can exceed 8 million, but those things have nothing to do with me, an old guy. Didn't make a dollar out of you, and you've never been my agent."

"My old guy doesn't have as much assets as you. I remember that you donated 1500 million US dollars to your alma mater last week. Now I really want to change your school status and let you donate to Nevada by the way. Make a donation, or your money will be moldy in the investment bank."

Tarkanian is very clear about the past of this old friend, and he has always sneered at this kind of practice of showing off in front of him when he has nothing to do, and even feels a little disgusted. A person who loves present!Only then can you show off how rich you are!

"Hey, can't you old man let me recall my glorious moment?"

Falke patted the table dissatisfied, but soon he was defeated by Tarkanian's eyes that were about to eat people.

"You guy, you should be able to tell me what you think now, otherwise, I won't feel at ease throwing that kid into your hands. Don't forget, I can still have some influence over him."

Although he and Falk are friends, it's better to clarify certain things first, so as to save trouble in the future. At least, Tarkanian doesn't want Chen Feng to suffer any disadvantages in this matter.

If Falke had just been on a whim, Tarkanian would have told him to leave immediately.

"Just like the reason why you, an old guy, can step into the NCAA again. I have watched that kid's game twice. I found that there is something exciting about him, just like when I first saw Mike."

Falk spread his hands to indicate that he was not joking. He also took out a few sheets of printing paper, which were all statistics about Chen Feng's recent games. Those professional things can't be produced by just anyone. Efficiency, defensive efficiency, including Chen Feng's forward-looking predictions in various aspects.

"When I chose to resign, they all said that I had offended too many people, so I had no choice but to leave. In fact, I really want to tell those guys that I have never been afraid of anyone since the day I entered the league. , Offending people? If I was afraid, I wouldn't do that. It's just that after experiencing a peak, I'm not used to continuing to climb up from the bottom, and there are not many newbies that can make me feel excited , that drive has completely disappeared from me.”

"But this kid is different. The fierceness in his bones is no different from when Mike entered the league. It seems that everyone who tries to stop him from succeeding will eventually be torn to pieces."

"I like this kind of momentum. It can make people improve continuously. That's why Mike can win six championships, and he can become a god in the basketball world. This kid also has this temperament of not bowing to anyone."

"You know my habit, if you don't sign, if you want to sign, it must be worth the money, at least no one can smash my signboard. I believe this kid will be successful, and it is definitely not the kind of success in the ordinary sense, Jerry, he's going to make this league tremble, I promise you that."

Farke definitely has this kind of confidence to be proud of. Among the players he signed, there are not a few superstars.

And what he takes a fancy to is definitely not mediocrity, at least in Falk's view, Chen Feng has the ability to do better.

"You are really optimistic about that kid. You must know that he is just a rookie now. Not everyone is as optimistic about this guy as you are. Some people even said that he may become a new shooting star."

Of course, Tarkanian has always treated that kind of nonsense with a ignorant attitude. This is the world, you can't satisfy everyone, so don't try to conquer everyone with a perfect performance.

Leader Qiao was so awesome back then, and there were countless media chattering behind his back.

"Of course, if I'm not optimistic about him, I won't be prepared to sign him, and I will do it alone. Listen to my old friend, what I said is that everything about this kid will be handled by me, and no one else will." Ranzhi, from the advertisement to the future contract, I will be responsible for this kid."

When Falke said this to Tarkanian, his expression did not have the sloppy look when he first entered the door, but looked very serious. He did this as if making a promise to his old friend Same.

The last NBA star who allowed Farke to operate his career alone is probably known to most people on earth.

"Okay, David, I can't bear your hawk-like eyes, but your reasons are enough. That kid will probably accept a manager like you. He is as tough as you are to death."

"I hope the cooperation between the two of you will go well, that kid is a bit worried." Finally, Tarkanian heaved a sigh of relief when he finally settled on Chen Feng's agent, but he still had to remind himself Chen Feng's old friend, Chen Feng's wild boy is not so easy to take care of, he is definitely a troublemaker.

"Hey, old friend, don't you think there are too many good babies in the league now? It's too boring to be called a personality player by just giving the middle finger to others. I really hope this kid can be more wild. You know, Mike was never a gentleman on the court, we just wanted to win."

Tarkanian has seen through it now. People who can gather around Chen Feng must not be too normal, otherwise you will feel that there is something wrong with you. Only crazy enough guys can adapt to this wild boy.

But now Tarkanian is not worried about Falke's ability. As long as this old guy thinks, he can solve a lot of troubles, and there is such a guy with a wrist to protect Chen Feng.

This was finally a concern for Tarkanian, and Falke had to consider how to strive for greater interests for his agent.

Although he didn't care about the little profit from the commission, if he messed up, it would ruin his golden brand. It's just that now thinking about this challenging star-making, Falke is a little excited.

But what happened in Las Vegas, Chen Feng is still at a loss, he is sitting on the plane flying to Philadelphia at the moment.

Waiting for him and the Celtics is another strong team in the same district, the Philadelphia 76ers.

Get Philadelphia and continue the winning streak, this is what the Celtics think now.

As for Chen Feng, he only wanted to play more games. After experiencing the duel between Stoudemire and Rashid, he was more and more eager to compete with those masters.

One will be successful, and only by stepping on the shoulders of those guys can one continue to achieve success.

Chen Feng is quite the general, and he doesn't want to be those thousands of bones...
