I briefly chatted with Paul about the agent, gave Schwartz's contact information, and also sent Schwartz a text message, without going into depth about this issue.

Paul's Wake Forest University reached the round of 64 of the NCAA and will begin the knockout rounds at the end of February, and at this stage it is not possible to sign an agent, and even if it is found that he has met with an agent privately, he will be punished.

Although Paul is the favorite to be a top-five pick in this year's draft, he will still be wary of this aspect.

James didn't communicate with Paul in advance, just because he was worried about this matter, but he didn't expect Liu Mang to be so shameless, in order for his company to earn a few percentage points of commission, he actually grabbed business!

After the group of four returned to the hotel, Liu Mang didn't play with them, James took Paul and Jia Da to go shopping together, and Liu Mang returned to the room to make up for a while.

At noon, Anthony, as the host, invited some players to the luncheon, mainly some of the rookies, sophomores and main players who participated in this year's All-Star Weekend, and Liu Mang's family was also invited.

Liu Mang took the girl into the restaurant that Anthony had chartered at the Crawford Hotel where they were staying, and three All-Stars, Maddie, Rasheed Wallace, and Kwame Brown, as well as Iguodala and Josh Smith, two Hawks players who participated in the rookie game, were invited.

"Hey, Carmelo and Garnett are here, why didn't you see Kobe?" Liu Mang asked as Anthony came up to hug him.

When he came in, he saw the two No. 21s who were desperately putting food on the plate, and seemed to be stacking higher than anyone else, but he didn't see the little blacksmith.

Garnett is a person with a fighting spirit written on his face and even off the court with grievances on the court, and Duncan, although he seems to have no emotion, is also a person who refuses to admit defeat, and the two are competing on and off the court.

Anthony looked at Liu Mang, what do you want to say? Could it be that Kobe Bryant didn't participate when he heard that you were going to participate?

Anthony could only snort: "Kobe Bryant, he can't come because of something." ”

"It's a shame......"

After Liu Mang and Anthony said hello, they went to take a look with the others, and they didn't talk too much, mainly because the other people saw Liu Mang dragging his family to come, and it was not easy to talk about things with color, especially the teammates who gave Liu Mang the drink bill from the nightclub a few days ago in the morning to let Liu Mang settle the bill, did not bother Liu Mang.

Liu Mang still remembers that he was drunk more than 50,000 US dollars in three days, but fortunately, it was the turn of Rashid Wallace and Kwame Brown to treat them, and the girls who were packed and taken away were the money spent by Maddie, Maddie was the worst, and now they all look like they are going to die.

Liu Mang found an empty table and began to eat big with the girl, with a posture of wanting to eat back.

After eating something, James, who brought Paul and the two of them to eat, came over again after greeting a group of bigwigs, and brought the other four of the 03 generation.

"Hey, Levia, Aida, and the beautiful maiden Dinah." James came up and said hello.

The girls all responded, especially Dinah, who happily high-fived his uncle, who was too old, when she heard the title of beautiful girl.

"LeBron, Dinah is only 10 years old." Liu Mang stared at James and said.

"you, Ace, I'm looking for you for something, there's something to ask me about." James smiled, and then said very seriously.

"Huh? Say, I can help, I will definitely help. Liu Mang didn't refuse, seeing that James was so serious, the others were very serious.

James looked around, there was no one else, and asked: "Ace, I heard Dwyane say that you chose to sign a five-year contract in order to end the fourth year in order to directly renew the contract with the terms specified by the veteran?" ”

What's going on? Liu Mang understands that Wade will be in the third grade next year, and it's time to renew the contract in advance, if you wait until the fourth grade, it will be a direct renewal, and the renewal of the fourth grade is very risky, in case the fourth grade does not play well, even if it is a very good rookie, there will be such doubts, so Kobe Bryant and Garnett will renew their contracts in advance after playing for two years, and Garnett's 100 million yuan contract at the end of the second year in 97 has also led to the suspension of the NBA.

Schwartz must have discussed it with Wade, but this kind of thing is not something that the agent can decide to sign for a few years, it is mainly the player's decision, and the agent's opinions are mostly references, such as Pippen, the agent, Jordan, the general manager of the Bulls, and the Zen master all want him to sign a contract, and he was stunned to sign a 7-year 20 million contract, and he couldn't stop it, and he made himself the cheapest star in the 90s.

James has an agent team, but he found that his agent team is not so good, at least not as good as Liu Mang's thoughts, he saw Liu Mang sign a five-year contract at first, and he didn't think too much, and then he remembered that Liu Mang was a second-round pick after hearing Wade say, and he deliberately played an extra year of final salary, directly from the original contract renewal of the middle class to the maximum salary renewal.

James's agency team trained him well in high school and rookie years, but it was not good later, so James later formed his own agency.

Before Liu Mang could answer, Anthony spoke first: "LeBron, I don't think it's good, signing a long-term contract is more conducive to the team building around us." ”

“……”

“……”

“……”

Bosh and Milicic were nothing, Liu Mang and Wade and James were speechless.

Isn't it enough to save the team so much money on a four-year rookie contract? Still thinking about the team? Moreover, is it not their own side that controls the initiative to make the team more oppressive and force them to constantly strengthen the team?

"Carmelo, your idea is not bad," Liu Mang did not deny the other party's idea, and then continued: "But I love money more, I want to make a little more, so LeBron, you are not wrong, I want to make more money, so I want to trigger the designated veteran clause as soon as possible." ”

Liu Mang's most praised place by other stars is also the key to being able to have an incredible relationship with so many stars in the eyes of fans, in addition to strength, is the way he speaks, he will say his own opinions, but he will not immediately deny the opinions of others.

If someone else comes to ask for advice, and Liu Mang thinks it's wrong, Liu Mang will say it, but if it's to express his opinion, then Liu Mang won't deny it.

Denying others will definitely make others feel dissatisfied, and denying others themselves is not delicious, so simply let it go, talk about your own thoughts, and whether the other party accepts it or not is one thing, this is a matter of politeness.

What Liu Mang said, the other five people felt that it was no problem.

James nodded: "I see, thank you Ace." ”

Wade, Bosh, and Milicic were also thoughtful.

Anthony didn't speak, but he seemed to disagree with the other four in the top five of the 03 generation, and he didn't think much of Liu Mang's words, and seemed to be ready to follow his own ideas.

Liu Mang didn't say anything, he probably knew why the original four of the top five picks in the 03 generation except for Milicic had such a good relationship, and in the end, only Anthony didn't play together, and the gap in thinking and concepts was too big.

Anthony is more of a traditional player, and the rest of the guys are a little more up-and-coming.

After determining Liu Mang's behavior, there was a forerunner, and the four of Zhan Weibomi had a plan.

Sorry, James and his brothers are going to eat some healthy food, and there are some league events in the afternoon that need them as rookies.

Wade left last, and was streamed down by Liu Mang, and it was time for a private conversation.

"Dwyan, if you're sure you like Miami and want to stay there for a long time, you leave the contract to Jeff and don't want to always think about saving money for the Heat, that's what you deserve." Liu Mang said to Wade.

"Boss Ace, I know you're good for me, but if I take a little pay cut to have more chances to get good teammates, I can accept it." Wade was a little moved.

"No, I'm not thinking about you, I'm just going to get a little more commission, the commission of your salary is the company's money, and when I retire and hand over all the company to Jeff in the future, I will have a share." Liu Mang said it seriously, Wade sounded like he was joking, but he was serious.

Wade can earn almost 200 million US dollars in his career, a commission of 6 million US dollars, and a lot of money after tax deductions, although he can only get one-third of the agreement with Schwartz, one-third of which is the company's funds, and one-third is Schwartz's commission, Liu Mang got the final estimate of seven or eight hundred thousand US dollars, but it is also money...... Liu Mang is reluctant to let Wade be cheated so much by Pat Riley, and he has his own share of the money in the pit......

Wade feels funny and heartbroken, how can there be such a company boss!

……

……

After lunch, Levia, along with Dinah and Christine Wagner, who protected Alexia, went shopping, and they all came to Denver, and they all had to buy something, and the All-Star Weekend brought more than just a game and merch sales, and many big brands took the opportunity to make a wave of money.

In the afternoon, Liu Mang went to promote Facebook, which was about to launch a nationwide business.

Facebook's propaganda has largely gone unrepercussive, and is now only used by university students, and only by people with university student IDs before the server was opened.

Liu Mang publicized it, and invested another 2 million US dollars this year for equipment expansion, and he didn't care about the rest, and when Facebook reached the peak of market value in the future, he would just sell the shares before the boom and bust.

In the evening, Liu Mang took the girl and the bodyguard to watch the rookie game.

This rookie game is a bit boring, the first-year students saw the starting lineup of James, Wade, Anthony, Bosh, and Milicic on the opposite side, most of them didn't have the heart to play, and there were four All-Star bench players in it, what a fart!

The best players in the first year are the players of the Hawks and the Bulls, Iguodala, Ben Gordon, Rohr Deng, Josh Smith, and Howard's starting lineup is still playing well, and the two rookies of the Hawks show their excellent physical fitness, and Howard also wants to join, but unfortunately the Bulls players and Hawks players do not play with Howard.

Ben Gordon is also from Liu Mang's company, and has a good relationship with Iguodala and Josh Smith, and the grievances between the two teams on the court did not carry over to the court, even if they yin Liu Mang together, it did not affect these relationships.

However, the other four of the top five picks of the 03 generation played hard because Anthony did not enter the All-Star Game, and the point difference was opened to more than 20 points at the beginning, in order to help Anthony win a rookie game MVP.

In the end, the sophomore team defeated the rookie team 152-129, and Anthony, who scored 38 points, won the MVP of this rookie game.

……

On the second day, Liu Mang participated in the roundtable at noon, and in the afternoon, he was separated from Maddie, James, and Wade to visit the school for disabled teenagers in Denver.

In the evening, I went to see the miracle of Bosh hitting a one-shot shot in the middle of the shooting star challenge.

Bosh is really suitable for this game, originally the shooting star was very interesting, but now there is a feeling that he is going to be destroyed by Bosh.

The championship of the three-point contest was won by Quentin Richardson of the Suns, without Liu Mang, Payton, and Peja, the attention of the three-point contest plummeted.

The Skill Challenge title was contested between Nash and Kidd, with Nash winning by a landslide and making four layups...... Otherwise, the two are pretty much the same.

The championship of the slam dunk contest was won by Liu Mang's teammate Josh Smith, the three girls rested in the hotel, and Liu Mang came to watch the eventing alone, just to cheer for Josh Smith.

After Josh Smith won the slam dunk contest, the Hawks became the only team in NBA history to have three dunk titles.

However, because of the previous showdown between Carter and Liu Mang, this year's slam dunk contest was once again unwatchable, and the fans did not react well after watching it.

Carter destroys the slam dunk contest once again...... This time it was with Liu Mang.

This year's All-Star Weekend, Liu Mang is really on vacation, except for the day of promotion, the rest of the time is very relaxed, this is the first time in four seasons, the first three years are called tired.

……

Finally, on February 16th, the highlight of All-Star Weekend, the All-Star Game, is coming!

After waking up in the morning, Liu Mang called Prince, and the two made an appointment to have breakfast in the restaurant.

"How's it going, Tyshawn?" Liu Mang asked with a stern face.

"Boss, I'll do something, don't worry." Prince's rare excitement.

"Very good, you are really steady, how are you teaching?" Liu Mang continued to ask.

Speaking of this, Prince, who usually stood aside coldly even in a fight, suddenly became eyebrows: "Boss, you don't know, the big shark looks bloated, but the dancing cells are too good!" He's so talented, and he's sure to be a great promotion for our NBA court dance......"

Prince, as the NBA court dance "promoter", is with a sense of mission, and is teaching O'Neal very hard, O'Neal heard that Yao Ming would dance this, he already had a little foundation, and he studied very hard, so he was waiting to find Yao Ming to dance with today.

Liu Mang listened to Prince's chatter and thought of the picture of the night, and he felt interesting when he thought about it!
