Chapter 168 Preparation
As parents, there is an innate love for their children, which is unconditional and selfless.

Fu Yao likes her current job very much, and has devoted too much effort to it.She came to the United States alone and worked hard for so many years, and she was considered a small achievement in that field.

Now say give up and give up.It's hard to do it for someone else.

However, he knew that An Luo needed her.And father an can't do such a thing, only she can do it.

She started to learn about basketball, about the NBA, about all related industries.Although the specific professional things must be done by Zhang Mingji and Bill Duffy, she can't understand everything.This is related to An Luo's future, and he must not be confused.

Even if Fu Yao knew everything, she still needed the help of Zhang Mingji and Bill Duffy.After all, connections and wrists are something Fu Yao doesn't have.Therefore, both she and An Luo happily reached an agreement with each other.

As for the remuneration, it was only after An Luo signed the contract.They take 2%, which is not a high percentage.According to the NBA's regulations, the commission of an agent in a single contract cannot exceed 4% of the contract, and the specific commission needs to be negotiated between the player and the agent.Of course, the bigger the player's contract, the higher the percentage of the commission.

For An Luo's current situation, basically he will not fall outside the lottery zone.Therefore, being selected for the NBA and signing with a certain team is not a problem.

However, when signing the contract, there are more Taoism in it, and An Luo and Fu Yao may not be able to deal with those guys.Also, as a Chinese, An Luo must deal with some domestic departments and media.These things need to be solved by Bill Duffy and Zhang Mingji, so the 2% is totally worth it.

Of course, for an agent, especially a team, they care more about the commercial value outside the stadium than the salary of the players in the team.In the agreement with An Luo, Bill Duffy and Zhang Mingji will help An Luo find commercial endorsements, and the commission will be the highest 4%.

There is nothing wrong with this, An Luo is famous, they contribute, An Luo takes the lead, and they earn a lot of money.And for an agent, there are other players under him.An agent like Bill Duffy has a lot of players in his hands, and the accumulation of little money makes him earn no less than the salaries received by NBA stars.

After talking about things, everyone had a very happy dinner.During the meeting, Yao Ming gave An Luo a lot of very useful suggestions.How to get along with teammates, how to maintain competitiveness, how to face the media, etc., and even joked that as a professional player, you must control your diet.Otherwise, just like him, he would become a female omen of the sun and the moon!

The next day, the two parties signed the contract.Bill Duffy and Zhang Mingji considered Yao Ming's role in it, but they were not so decisive.In fact, Bill Duffy's word-of-mouth accounted for a large part of the factor.

This person is simply a clear stream among brokers.He sincerely serves his players, and even pays out of his own pocket to compensate customers for losses; he hopes that his players will also be of good character, so he has repeatedly rejected some players with bad records to join.

He behaves well and sits upright, so he can be called a "good man".

When An Luo first got a call from his agent, he specifically found out about it online.Although it may not be completely true, it can explain many problems.

Of course, Yao Ming's recommendation is also very important.An Luo believed that it was impossible for someone at Yao Ming's level to cheat an unknown person like himself.

So, that night, An Luo and Fu Yao discussed with Father An who had already returned to Shu Capital.The latter just repeatedly confirmed one thing, that is: whether An Luo really made up his mind to start playing professionally and stop studying.In fact, he still hoped that An Luo would finish reading the book.After all, this is indeed a pity for him.

In the end, Papa An didn't object to anything.In his heart, Yao Ming is also a banner.It is a very lucky thing for An Luo to have such a person to support him.

Now that everything is fine, the matter is settled.An Luo is not a person who picks up things every day, just like when he buys things, if he likes them, he will buy them directly, and will not spend more time shopping around.

Bill Duffy and Zhang Mingji also moved quickly.After signing the contract, they each started to prepare for An Luo's draft.This is the starting point of An Luo's career, and also a new starting point for the cooperation between the two of them.

It is not difficult to participate in the NBA draft.Players like An Luo who have played in the NCAA for one year can participate as long as they are 19 years old.However, before participating in the election, you must choose to give up your studies in college, and then send a written application to the NBA before the deadline.If the NBA believes that the player meets the standards, it will reply to a draft form, and the player will be approved by the league after filling out, and will be included in the rookie candidate list.

Of course, he doesn't need to do these things now.Bill Duffy would do all the clerical work for him.He just needs to be ready to go to NBA draft camp and individual workouts with NBA teams.

In fact, for popular players like An Luo, it is completely possible to skip the official joint trial training.After all, he has proven himself.No need to earn performance with players hoping to squeeze into the lottery or fight to get drafted.

Bill Duffy suggested that An Luo skip this link.But An Luo felt that he had nothing to do anyway, so he might as well meet this year's "geniuses".Apart from Jaylen Brown and Buddy Hield, he really hasn't seen many.

However, these things are scheduled to take place in May, so An Luo is going to rest for a few days before starting training.After returning from Houston, he and Fu Yao went to UCLA to complete the suspension procedures.Then I went back to Sichuan and stayed for a few days.

After a week in his hometown, he rushed back to Los Angeles before April 4.

April 2016, 4.What was a rather ordinary day became extraordinary because of basketball.

On this day, Curry led the Golden State Warriors to 73 wins in the regular season, breaking the 20-year-old Bulls record of 72 wins.He himself also broke the league's data with 402 three-pointers in a single season.The Warriors this season have broken too many records.Many people have never seen the Bulls in the 95-96 season, but they have witnessed the Warriors this season and the best team in the history of the NBA regular season.

Although An Luo liked Stephen Curry very much, and got along with him for a while.But An Luo still showed up at the Staples Arena without hesitation.

For him, this game is far more important than the record of 73 wins.
