Chapter 109 Bill Duffy
"Hello, Chen, I finally meet you."
"Hello, Bill, I'm looking forward to it too."
"Actually, I have known you for a long time. You know because of Yao."
"I know, I've seen your business card, but you know, I was still playing, and I didn't want to cause trouble."
"Of course, your approach is correct, it can be seen that you are a person who can control himself.
You know, after entering the NBA, players have to face too many temptations and can't control themselves, which is going to cause problems. "
……
Chen Mo and Bill Duffy chatted well, after all, they had a common topic - Yao Ming.
Moreover, Bill Duffy has been in the NBA as an agent for many years, so he naturally knows many unknown secrets.
Like what Jordan has a bad temper, Barkley loves donuts...
Anyway, there are various topics, and even some anecdotes, such as the reason why Jordan retired and came back.
"Chen, maybe you can take a look at the contract first. This is a standard rookie contract. What do you think?"
"No problem, I have an appointment with a lawyer, he will be here soon."
Bill Duffy was not surprised by Chen Mo's act of seeking a lawyer. Except for a few mindless players, most people wanted to be careful.
Although he has to wait for the lawyer to come, this does not prevent Chen Mo from reading it first. It has to be said that it is a very standard player agency contract.
3% of the player salary contract, this is a small concession made by Bill Duffy.
Under normal circumstances, the agent's player salary contract is 3% to 4%, and the NBA has strict regulations in this regard.
However, in modern professional leagues, the income of agents is not mainly derived from salary commissions, but commercial endorsement commissions.
Commercial endorsement commissions, according to NBA regulations, agents can get up to 20%.
Of course, in most cases, it is definitely not possible to get such a high share, especially when the star is getting bigger.
Chen Mo quietly asked Yao Ming, but Yao Ming didn't say anything, but said it was about 15%.
So, don't look at Bill Duffy's regress in salary commission, in fact, he has been slaughtered severely in terms of commercial endorsement.
Of course, Chen Mo didn't say anything, but planned to wait for the lawyer to get old before talking about it. With a lot of money, it is impossible to do nothing.
Chen Mo's lawyer, Martin Williams, a standard white elite, was very polite when facing Chen Mo and Bill Duffy.
Of course, it's hard to say what's on the surface of politeness.
However, as a lawyer, Martin's professional standards are still very high, and he started a verbal battle with Bill Duffy.
This is a very standard player agency contract, there is no big problem, the only problem is the commission.
"Okay, Chen, I agree with this commission. I hope we can have a happy cooperation."
In the end, the commercial endorsement commission for this brokerage contract was determined to be 15%, which was neither a high nor a low percentage.
The reason why Bill Duffy was willing to step back was because he was optimistic about Chen Mo, and he was very optimistic.
Can win the NCAA championship and win the MOP of the Final Four, how can such a player be poor?
What's more, with the backing of the huge Huaguo market, Bill Duffy is too aware of the profits.
Otherwise, he would not have signed Yao Ming back then, and even allowed Yao's team to exist.
"Happy cooperation!"
Without the matter of Martin Williams, he naturally left early, and now Chen Mo and Bill Duffy are in the same group.
"Chen, next you have to get ready and wait for the trial training to start. I will fight for the trial training opportunity for you."
"Understood, rest for a few days first, and then I will start training. Regarding the training, I need you to help me arrange it."
"No problem, you really need to know about the trial training situation."
As for the trial training, we have to wait until the lottery is over to determine, but there is no need to worry.
"By the way, I worked with a trainer before, Bruce Fraser, and it was pretty good."
……
After resting for a few more days, Chen Mo officially started training. I have to say that Bill Duffy is really good at being a man.
Bill Duffy paid in advance for the lease of the venue and the training match.
That's good, it saves Chen Mo from reaching out to his family. After all, finding a professional training match is not a small fee.
"Bruce, we meet again."
Seeing Chen Mo again, Bruce Fraser was a little surprised. It can even be said that he felt a little illusory this year.
Last year, the little guy who asked him to help with training really made great strides all the way, won the NCAA championship, and was still the MOP.
Today, his path to an NBA star is smooth sailing, and he even has a chance to compete for the No. [-] pick.
"Chen, congratulations, you really did it. To be honest, I am very much looking forward to your performance in the NBA."
"To be honest, I'm looking forward to it too!"
With the signature of Chen Mo, Fraser's career as a trainer has been greatly improved.
In the industry of trainers, he is also well-known, so he also attaches great importance to this cooperation.
"Okay, Chen, what do you want to train this time?"
"Same as last time, three-pointers, ball control, and strength, especially in terms of dribbling and shooting..."
Hearing Chen Mo's words, Fraser's eyes lit up immediately. How should I put it, this decision is very good.
It can be said that Chen Mo has a very clear understanding of himself, which is almost the same as Fraser's preliminary analysis.
The first is the three-pointer, which is something that Chen Mo lives and lives in, and he must not lose it.
Although many coaches in the NBA don't like three-pointers, the role of three-pointers is definitely something that no one can ignore.
Ball control and dribbling and shooting are the two aspects that Chen Mo focuses on improving.
Everyone knows him, and he must be extremely defensive about his catch and shoot.
At this time, if Chen Mo can independently create opportunities for three-point shots, he will definitely grow into a top superstar.
Mike Miller and Ray Allen are very good, but they always feel a little worse. Why?
Compared with Curry, they only have the ability to catch and shoot, and they lack the ability to create opportunities independently.
Don't look at Chen Mo's performance in the NCAA is not bad, but in the NBA, it is definitely another level of competition.
As for strength, it definitely needs to be practiced.
If we say that the most difficult thing for Chen Mo to gain a foothold in the NBA, it must be the lack of strength in confrontation.
If on the basketball court, no matter who he defends, he can hit anyone, wouldn't it be a colander?
"I see, Chen, let me take a look at your current situation first, and I will make detailed arrangements."
"no problem!"
Next, Chen Mo started a series of tests, including shooting, dribbling, and bench press!
Well, Chen Mo successfully completed a bench press and surpassed Du Xiaoshuai perfectly, so he shouldn't be at the bottom.
At this moment, Fraser was beyond shocked.
To be honest, a year ago, Chen Mo's training was still vivid in his memory, but now, it was like a different person.
But Fraser knew that it wasn't a substitution, but that Chen Mo had grown a lot in less than a year.
