Chapter 51: Duffy's Decision
The confrontation with Ariza made Tang Shuai realize the difference in strength between him and the NBA rotation players, just like the chasm, if he wants to really gain a foothold, he must put in more efforts and find ways to get more advanced skill sets.
After Tang Shuai, everyone else appeared one after another, but without exception, they all lost in embarrassment.
After Tang Shuai got off the field, he has been observing Prell, and he is more curious about Prell than this challenge, what is the purpose of this training play.
When everyone's confrontation is over, he expects what Prell can explain.
When the confrontation was over, Ariza left without stopping, and to the surprise of others, Prell then announced that the trial was over and the players could go back and wait for news.
After Prell finished announcing, he followed and left, leaving a group of stunned players who had not yet reacted.
Tang Shuai was also dumbfounded, what kind of trial is this, he is simply deliberately beating them, and Prell has no record at all, that feeling is like, he doesn't have any intention of leaving any of them at all, if so, what is the purpose of recruiting them for a trial?
After Prell left, the staff who came with them followed and took them away, this time going straight out from the southwest gate, and the depressed players arrived at the door, and they didn't have much time to sort out their emotions, so they went their separate ways.
Sitting in the taxi back to the hotel, Tang Shuai and He Tianju both looked very depressed, this trial for the Rockets was their worst experience.
Duffy looked at the depressed two, and unlike them, his expression seemed very excited, but in the face of the two silent people, he didn't speak, but held the tablet, looking for something.
When they returned to the hotel, the three of them went back to their rooms separately.
After Tang Shuai returned to the room, he lay on the bed and wanted to sleep for a while, but found that he was extremely irritable, this time the trial not only made him unable to understand, but more importantly, he took Duffy with him, after seeing his poor performance, Duffy probably didn't want to waste time on him.
"Damn it!" The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he sat up sharply and cursed loudly.
Just then, there was a sudden ringing of a doorbell.
At this point, most of them were waiters, he walked to the door a little impatiently, and was about to say that he didn't need it, but when he looked out through the cat's eyes, he found that it was not the waiter standing outside the door, but Duffy.
What did he come to do?
A trace of doubt flashed in Tang Shuai's eyes.
In this case, most of them are here to say goodbye, right? It's good to save the trouble!
He thought, then opened the door and said, "Jamie, it's not too late to stay another night." ”
"Let's go?" Duffy was originally smiling, but when he heard what Tang Shuai said, he was stunned for a moment, and then immediately shook his head and said, "No, Tang, I didn't plan to leave." ”
With that, he had already entered the room.
Tang Shuai looked at Duffy suspiciously, not leaving?
After Duffy sat down, he smiled and said, "Don, why don't you make a cup of coffee and I'll drink it?" ”
In the United States, coffee is a drink similar to Chinese tea, and after Tang Shuai heard it, he immediately went to make a cup of coffee for Duffy.
Duffy was not in a hurry at all, waited until Tang Shuai finished brewing coffee, blew the steaming steam, took a sip, and said unhurriedly: "The quality of coffee in this hotel is very average, when you return to New Orleans, I will take you to my uncle's house, he has good food at home." ”
"Back to New Orleans, uncle?" Tang Shuai looked at Duffy in confusion, listening to the meaning of this, could it be?
Duffy put down the coffee in his hand and said with a smile: "Tang, I have decided, I plan to be your agent, if you are willing to hire me." ”
Really!
Although Duffy's decision was vaguely guessed from what he said, he still said in disbelief: "Why? James, I don't quite understand. ”
Duffy smiled and said: "Your strength, it shouldn't be a big problem to be selected, but to be honest, it will be very late in the second round, and it is also related to the general environment in which the alliance needs yellow people." ”
Tang Shuai's face was a little embarrassed, even if this was the truth, he wouldn't say it to his face, right?
Duffy continued, "So, that's why I decided to say yes to you, and I wanted to challenge myself to what kind of work I can do if I fall to the ground. ”
After listening to what Duffy said, Tang Shuai was completely speechless, it turned out that the reason why Duffy made the decision was just to challenge himself......
Good red. Naked Reality ......
"Of course, it was one of the reasons for my decision, not what prompted me to make the final decision." Duffy then continued.
Tang Shuai looked up at Duffy: "There are ...... Other? ”
Duffy nodded and continued: "I have learned a lot about you through my information network, including your performance in the Chinese University League CUBA, and your performance in the trial after you arrived in the United States, I have come to a conclusion that you are a player with strong learning ability and superhuman progress, which is the so-called potential, which is the most critical point. ”
As he spoke, he pointed at Tang Shuai, then at himself, and said excitedly: "A player with unlimited potential, an agent who is ready to show his skills, such a partner, do you think that one day the entire league will be surprised?" ”
Hearing Duffy say this, Tang Shuai was finally in a much better mood, and Duffy was able to understand his information in such a short period of time, this is definitely a qualified agent, he stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "We will be the best partners." ”
Duffy smiled and high-fived Tang Shuai, even if it was stamped, the initial employment relationship between the two was reached verbally.
The two of them talked about something else, and Duffy told him about the signing of the contract, and then went back to the room.
When Da Fei left, Tang Shuai lay on the bed again, and the depression in his heart suddenly improved a lot.
After solving the problem of the agent, even if he has no worries, he can rest assured that all the draft operations will be handed over to Duffy, and he himself can be completely invested in the trial.
Although the tryout in Houston was not ideal, it was definitely impressive for the Mavericks in Dallas, and if nothing else, he would definitely be invited for the second round of tryouts, and even if he didn't, there was a joint tryout, which was a tryout for all draft players, and most teams would send people to the scene.
In between, it's time for him to pack.
