Foreigners cannot understand the feelings of the Chinese and cannot get used to the etiquette of the Chinese.

However, the Chinese just like this and enjoy it.

"Wang, you came to pick up Ace in person, it really gave him face." Wang Zhizhi's agent, Jeff Schwartz, said.

As the agent of Chinese players, Jeff Schwartz knows more about some Chinese customs and customs, and knows that seniors generally do not pull down to pick up juniors.

Jeff Schwartz, a famous American sports agent, now has 9 NBA player contracts in hand, Pierce, Odom, Rod Strickland and others are all players under him, as well as several NFL players and Wimbledon Grand Slam winner Pete Sampras are all athletes under his hands.

However, to the surprise of people in Europe and the United States, the athlete under him who values the most is the Chinese player Wang Zhizhi, who is not well-known in the United States.

Wang Zhizhi's Chinese background, as a Chinese player, if he gains a firm foothold in the NBA, the commercial value he brings has long been coveted by a discerning agent.

It is worth mentioning that the future little assassins Isaiah Thomas and Hassan Whiteside are all players under him, and the original Pete Sampras is also an understated tennis player.

Digging for treasure among the "geniuses" who are not favored is Jeff Schwartz's forte.

There's no way, he can't grab the popular star......

Since 1997, after Wang Zhizhi failed to play in the NCAA, Jeff Schwartz signed Wang Zhizhi to play in the NBA.

"Ace is the best player in our country, maybe we will be teammates in the summer, Jeff, you don't have to wait with me, you can go and get busy if you have something." Wang Zhizhi said a little shyly.

The introverted and shy nature of the Chinese is vividly displayed in Wang Zhizhi.

"It's okay, Wang, I also want to meet this newcomer Wang, who stands out this year."

"Ace-Liu......" Jeff Schwartz's eyes flashed with a gleam, he accompanied Wang Zhizhi to the airport today to wait for a rookie, isn't he looking forward to the opportunity to meet this now popular star.

……

The Eagles, on their side, walked out of the airport hall with their luggage.

Dallas is not like many small cities, the fans here are quite loyal, there are not many Hawks fans to pick up the plane, after the rise of the Hawks, the three All-Stars have fans in many places, and in some places there are hostile fans who have just arrived at the airport of the visiting team's city to demonstrate.

Of course, this is mainly related to the Mavericks' good record in the past two years, and the fans of strong teams have confidence.

Liu Mang was carrying his fireproof, waterproof and explosion-proof backpack, and was talking to Emmanuol about the new patch for Age of Empires 2, and made an appointment to go to the hotel to borrow a computer to play, when he suddenly heard a familiar language calling him for a long time.

"Reckless ......"

When Liu Mang heard this title, he almost fell to the ground with his head.

Who would call it that?

Where's the cry coming from?

Liu Mang looked towards the source of the sound, a ...... A big tall man with a bit of meat, it's not too short to say it's short, it's not too long, it's really not long, it looks like a compatriot with a hairstyle that he cut with scissors......

Wang Zhizhi?

Liu Mang blinked, it's really Wang Zhizhi!

It's so green!

Stature...... I'm so fat!

Of course, this is Liu Mang using the standard of ordinary NBA players to see Wang Zhizhi's body shape, the body fat rate is actually not high, but the muscles are not as angular as the blacks, nor are they like the white bear-like muscles, the characteristics of the muscles of the Chinese are like this, there is no streamlining without force, the size is larger, the body fat rate is slightly higher, and the big man looks fleshy.

In fact, except for Yi Jianlian, who has practiced a body of tendon meat, all the yellow big men, including Da Yao, don't look like muscular men.

Looking at Wang Zhizhi, who was still very young and estimated to be twenty-three or four-year-old when he waved his hand, although it was the first time he saw it, he felt inexplicably cordial.

Liu Mang didn't understand the feeling of meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign country before, but he felt it when he met Coach Zhang and Su Qun during the All-Star Weekend, and now when he sees Wang Zhizhi, who is also a basketball worker, that feeling comes again.

"I have a friend who comes to pick me up, you can help me talk to the coach, and I'll take a taxi to the hotel later." Liu Mang said hello to Emmanuol and ran towards the exit where Wang Zhizhi was located, which was not in the same direction as the exit chosen by the team.

"Hey, Da Mang......" Wang Zhizhi watched Liu Mang run over and greeted him warmly.

"Stop!" Liu Mang stopped this title, Nima is called roughly by others, and you will learn from other people's titles?

Liu Mang said: "Roughly senior, you just call me Ace, I really didn't expect you to come to the airport to wait for me." ”

"Uh...... Haha, okay, don't be a senior, Ace, you can call me roughly, I want to see our country's super rookie king, I may not have a chance to talk to you when I play tomorrow. Wang Zhizhi said that he was lonely.

Speaking of creation, he shone in the Olympics at the age of 19, was drafted by the NBA at the age of 21, and only entered the NBA in the middle of the season when he was almost 24 years old last season, and the best time has passed.

Now Wang Zhizhi only averages about 10 minutes of playing time per game in the Mavericks, scoring nearly 6 points, and his efficiency is very good, mainly because of the three-point shooting rate of more than 40% per game, as well as the NBA's rare flexible footwork in a seven-foot man and the ability to hold the ball alone, which is the foundation of his foothold in the NBA.

In the face of this kind of thing, Liu Mang did not choose to comfort, it was disrespectful to the other party, Liu Mang smiled: "I think we may face each other in the game and say not necessarily, you know that I like dunks very much, so you have to be careful." ”

Liu Mang's reply made Wang Zhizhi a little surprised, but it was a happy kind of accident, and finally not everyone in the country regretted and comforted him when they saw him, Wang Zhizhi also smiled: "Haha, I will pull you down directly!" I won't give you a chance to detain me! ”

After a few words, I felt that it was really embarrassing to stand and chat in this public place, no, there are already some media with the same face hiding in the corner to take pictures.

"Let's find a place to talk, Ace, you're here, and a lot of cameras are on us." Wang Zhizhi teased.

The domestic side has already stirred up, the Chinese derby! This topic came up for the first time in the NBA.

The United States does not have this concept yet, mainly because the gap between the status of the two in the NBA is too big.

However, in China, because of Liu Mang's continued hot performance, under the pressure of public opinion, the Blue Association gave the Eagles the instructions for the live broadcast of the game for the first time.

However, the face still has to be steady, and the instructions given are to agree that CCTV will replace the original game of the Kings against the weak team Rockets with a live broadcast of the Mavericks' game.

This is a step given to each other, although the imperial court station is not worthy of the Blue Association, but in terms of basketball, the Blue Association is stuck there, so the imperial court station gave the Blue Association face, saying that it was a rebroadcast of the calf, so that the Basketball Association can maintain face under the pressure of public opinion.

Liu Mang nodded and walked to the parking lot with Wang Zhizhi......

Wait, isn't this uncle a fan who came to ask for autographs? Why follow?

Liu Mang found out that there was a middle-aged uncle next to Wang Zhizhi who looked a little obscene.

Seeing Liu Mang's doubts and seeing his agent's grudges, Wang Zhizhi reacted, chatted and forgot about his agent, looking at the resentful expression.

Moreover, these two bastards use Chinese! Jeff Schwartz doesn't understand! If he wants to interject, he doesn't know if he will get the timing wrong, he doesn't want to leave a bad impact on Liu Mang.

"Ace, let me introduce you," Wang Zhizhi introduced in English this time, "This is my agent Jeff, Jeff Schwartz, this is Ace Liu." ”

"Broker?" Liu Mang was a little surprised, in his impression, agents are the kind of people who eat meat and don't spit out bones, and a role player agent actually came to the airport with him, which is not scientific.

Many agents pay attention to big-name stars, such as players who can't make much money, and may not talk to this player several times a year except when it is time to sign a contract.

The NBA's ecological environment is actually just as bad.

And Wang Zhizhi seems to be quite familiar with this agent, which makes Liu Mang quite surprised, Wang Zhizhi is not very good, and his relationship with the domestic media and official figures is not good, all of which were harmed by the events of the year.

"Hello Mr. Liu, my name is Jeff Schwartz, profession, agent." Jeff Schwartz said politely.

"Hey, it's okay to call me Ace, nice to meet you." Liu Mang has a good impression of Wang Zhizhi coming to pick him up, just as the so-called love house and Wu, he also has a good impression of Jeff Schwartz, the agent.

Just to meet, according to the regulations, the two can't talk about business-related things during this time period, get to know each other, Jeff Schwartz gave his business card to Liu Mang, and this meeting is over.

Jeff Schwartz just wanted to get to know Liu Mang this time, and he couldn't sit down with anything else.

Unless Liu Mang doesn't have a team to ask for it now, it is a violation of the regulations for him to contact Liu Mang for the agent's work at this time.

However, with such a preliminary contact, Jeff Schwartz has a relatively clear judgment on Liu Mang.

Very different from ordinary Chinese athletes!

Open, generous, and confident!

And there is a carefulness that ordinary people don't have, but it shows a big grin, and it also has some strong that a strong person should have.

This kind of personality will definitely mix up in the NBA...... Jeff Schwartz looked at Wang Zhizhi and sincerely regretted it.

If Wang Zhizhi had a stronger personality back then, how could he be like now, and now his personality is still so introverted, he has been in the Mavericks for more than a year, and there are teammates who have not spoken......
