In Auckland in November, the weather is getting cooler. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Yang Di enjoyed the treatment of a superstar, and when he went out, he met a lot of fans, and there were not a few people who asked for autographs and group photos around him.

In the official flagship store of the Warriors, Yang Di's jerseys are always sold out, which shows the popularity.

Los Angeles, BDA Sports Agency.

In Bill Duffy's office, two gray-haired old men sat facing each other, and Bill Duffy made a cup of tea unhurriedly, and the smell of tea in the room was overflowing.

The cabinet behind the sofa is full of books such as "Business Negotiation", "Cultural Planning", "Entertainment Planning", etc., and there is an oil painting of the natural scenery of the water city of Venice pasted above the sofa, and the potted plants on the windowsill are lush, the air inside the house is very good, and the sun is shining outside.

"I didn't expect you to love learning so much, maybe that's why your company has been moving forward in the past few years."

Tryfford-Edwards blew on the heat from the mouth of the cup and said with a smile.

"No, no, no." Bill Duffy shook his head and pointed to his chest, "The reason I keep moving forward is because I have a heart that really serves the players, which is especially important in this league where the commercial atmosphere is so popular." ”

"Your players are very good, except for Yao Ming, Yang Di and Nash have made eye-catching changes this year." A gleam flashed in Tryfu's eyes, and a look of admiration appeared on his face: "Your gaze is excellent, and you included Yang Di in his banner before he became famous." ”

"NBA agents are such a group, and they are just odd goods."

"It's very commercial, and I like it." Trevor-Edwards said with a smile.

Bill Duffy squinted his eyes and read the last page, "The contract is good, there are no problems at all, Nike has a high reputation in this regard, I am relieved." ”

Trevor-Edwards was a little puzzled: "I don't know why you have to stick to a short contract, for players, injuries and futures are unpredictable, to be able to sign a long contract, it is definitely a sure thing, or are you so confident?" ”

"It's his self-confidence." Bill Duffy laughed, "He's a strong kid. ”

"Yao Ming signed a contract with Reebok for 6 years and 18 million, and then Yang Di signed a contract with Nike for 2 years and 8 million, if only Nash also signed a contract with us."

"Nash has the last year of his boot contract, let's see after this season, it's not in a hurry anyway." Bill Duffy smiled like an old fox, and the Suns are now 6-2 in second place in the West, behind the Mavericks. Crucially, Mike D'Antoni brings his new team philosophy to the table, and the Suns are constantly playing a fluid offense.

To put it simply, the 7-second concept, the ball storm.

"There are also some bonus clauses in the contract, such as $1 million for being selected for the All-Star Game, $500,000 for being selected for the end of the season, and $300,000 for being named to any defensive team. ”

"He's going to be the youngest rebounding king and blocker in history, if the momentum continues." Bill Duffy is convinced.

Edwards was breathing a little, "I'm looking forward to that day." He thought in his heart that if Yang Di was really able to accomplish this feat, then this contract would be returned to Xiao, and the worth of eight million should be worth it.

"Actually, I think that with Yang Di's current performance, he is fully qualified for the grade of signed sneakers."

"No, no, no, there aren't many players in the league who have signed shoes." Edwards shook his head, always insisting that the road had to be taken one step at a time.

"Then you signed a 7-year, $93 million contract with LeBron James, do you think LeBron James must be better than Yang Di in the future?"

Edwards smiled awkwardly and did not speak.

Bill Duffy glared at him angrily, "Well, I think you're going to change your mind, sooner or later." ”

"If Yang Di can be selected as an All-Star, or after this season, he will become the rebounding king and block king, and launch his signature sneakers next year, I promise." Edwards raised his hand and swore by it.

"Don't, it's just to see that the price you offer is relatively high, and after the end of next year, I'll look at it next year."

……

Yang Di knew that he had an extra $500,000 in equipment sponsorship money in his Nike account, and because of the cash contract he signed with Nike, he could now splurge on the official website and buy shoes.

Of course, he won't do that, but buying a dozen pairs of collector's editions to keep at home is also an essential thing to do.

Two days later, on November 19, the NBA broke out in an incident that shocked the world - a fight at the Palace of Auburn Hills.

This is the worst NBA group brawl since the beginning of the new century, and the two teams involved in the brawl, the Pistons and the Pacers.

One is a grassroots team that just won the championship, a hard-working star inspirational team packaged by the NBA, and a team with the first regular season record last year, and it is also a strong contender for the championship.

Originally, this game was seen as a preview of the Eastern Conference Finals, but the Pacers, who lost last year's Eastern Conference Finals, were more like mourners, and they were always in the lead in this game, with the Pistons trailing the Pacers by 15 points with 45.9 seconds left in the game.

At this point, Artest made a very rude foul on Wallace. was already behind, and was fouled like this, Ben Wallace was immediately furious, others were afraid of Atay, but he was not afraid, and immediately stretched out his hand and pushed Atay hard, and a fierce conflict broke out between the two sides, and the fans in the Auburn Hills Palace Arena all clamored, and their blood surged.

The anger was not extinguished, and the two sides sat back on the bench. At this time, a player threw a drink on Artest's body, which completely angered Artai, who rushed up and beat the fan who he thought was throwing his drink, and the fans in Motor City bravely began to beat Artai, and then the other players of the Pacers also rushed over, Stephen Jackson and O'Neal Jr. helped Artest beat the fans, and the scene was chaotic.

A large number of police officers came in to distract the two sides of the conflict, and two young fans in piston jerseys rushed down to provoke Atay, who was punched one down by Atay and then brought down the other by O'Neal Jr.

Larry Brown used the radio to persuade both sides to calm down, and Artest and others were ejected. Irrational fans frantically threw popcorn, drinks and all kinds of food in the aisle, O'Neill Jr. was smashed by a stool, and large-scale clashes continued to erupt at the entrance of the aisle.

At the end of the game, nine fans were injured and two were taken to hospital, with three images left in the final TV footage, one bleeding fan, one stunned and confused woman, and one frightened young fan being comforted.

When Yang Di learned the news, it was already the next day, and the whole alliance exploded because of it.

"It's crazy, it's crazy, I've never had anything like that, and there's never been a conflict like this between a player and a fan in the entire history of the NBA." During a phone call with Fisher, Fisher expressed his shock, "This incident has been so bad that it's a disaster for the league that is building international business basketball, you see, David Stern will definitely not let them go easily." ”
