Chapter 857 Sign DeRozan!
There are definitely not a few NBA stars who do side jobs. After all, professional players eat their youth meals. There are not many people who can reach 20 years after a full career. It is absolutely impossible to do it for a lifetime. Spending more, if there are a few more illegitimate children, the annual salary will not be enough, so if they want to avoid bankruptcy soon after retiring, a side business is their best choice.
Just like O'Neal, everyone knows that he is a comedian who was delayed by basketball, a big shark on the court, but there are many bars in Los Angeles, and I will talk about the gym, Ji Feng and O'Neal's VIP card? …
The purpose of Ji Feng's trip is precisely for his side business, the brokerage company co-founded by Ji Feng and James, code name, Team Peak!
When it comes to basketball brokerage contracts, the most famous among big companies is CAA. Their power is very large. After all, this is not just a basketball brokerage company. He is the world's number one elite talent brokerage company. The most creative and successful artists in television, music, theater, sports, video games, the Internet, and many other fields. At the same time, CAA also represents many corporate clients, providing them with strategic marketing services such as entertainment marketing solutions.
CAA's road to fortune is absolutely legendary. Interested friends can search by themselves. You only need to know that he is also very strong in the basketball circle.
CAA also looked for Ji Feng after Ji Feng's rise, but at that time Ji Feng had already co-founded his own brokerage company with James, so he did not choose them.
The person who found Ji Feng at the beginning is also familiar to everyone. Leon Rose, one of the biggest agents in the basketball circle, in 2006, LeBron James became his client, and in 2007 Rose entered CAA, and LeBron is also logical. Became a customer of CAA, and now it is the top card of CAA.
Of course, big brokerage companies have advantages. Good relations with the media, the best publicity strategies, and rich promotion channels are not too important for stars.
(In 2009, Ross persuaded another big-name agent, Henry Thomas, to join CAA. Thomas’ clients include big-name players such as Wade and Bosh. Therefore, the decision that shocked the world in 2010, we all know why, is worth a visit. It is mentioned that Carmelo Anthony settled in his hometown team, the New York Knicks, as he wished. CAA is also the driving force behind the scenes. In 2009, Anthony terminated the contract with BDA. He chose LeBron's agent, Rose, who operated Anthony to join the Knicks. He also tried to get Paul to join the Knicks at one point, but failed.)
Hearing this, I believe everyone can see Ji Feng's ambition. In the NBA, players and agents complement each other. Because of Ji Feng, James seems to have the opportunity to become a big-name agent. Ji Feng's vision is not only now, More in the future!
Of course, for this future, Ji Feng accepted James' invitation, got into a rented RV, and embarked on a two-and-a-half-day journey from Los Angeles all the way to the east coast, and the final destination was the east coast. North Carolina.
As for why you chose there as the end point, I believe that friends who like basketball know that since Jordan walked out of North Carolina, it has become a holy place in the hearts of many basketball fans, even if Duke, Kentucky and other schools have achieved better results.
And Ji Feng also came with the mood of traveling by the way. After all, Jordan's alma mater is still somewhat attractive to him, not to mention that there are really many good players there.
But Ji Feng has regretted it. Sure enough, this road trip is really not suitable for him as a Chinese. There are no people everywhere, so they can stand it.
But fortunately, Ji Feng's trip was good. After signing Holiday successfully before, they first went around California, signed a few guys who had a chance to enter the NBA and filled the list, and finally settled in California. Last stop, USC found a very good guy!
DeMar DeRozan!
This high school All-American first team, who led Compton High School to win the Moore League championship for two consecutive years, was also invited to participate in the Jordan Classic and the Nike Summit in high school, and scored a team-high 17 points in the Nike Summit. .
After entering USC in 2007, he quickly gained a firm foothold in the team. He averaged 13.9 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game in his freshman season. The shooting percentage was 52.3%, second in the team, Pac-10 No. 8.
Started all 35 games, scored 28 in double digits, scored 4 double-doubles, scored 21 points and grabbed a career-high 13 rebounds in the Pac-10 Championship semifinal with UCLA; In the final of the Pac-10 Championship at State University, he scored a career-high 25 points on 10 of 16 shots and led his team to the championship.
This is definitely a big fish!
Ji Feng watched him abuse vegetables in the arena, not to mention, he really has potential, and if he plays well, he has a chance to be an All-Star.
And what about Ji Fengzhengchou's shot, DeRozan himself came to the door!
"Ji Feng!? Wow, I can see you here. What are you doing in our school? This year's draft is over!" DeRozan trotted over, looking like a fan.
That's right, after all, he is a native of California. He used to like Kobe Bryant, but now he likes JK. He is full of admiration and curiosity about this man who is a few months younger than himself but can kill the Quartet in the NBA.
Looking at Ji Feng in the NBA, he even had the magical idea that "the NBA is not like this", although he knew it was a bit ridiculous, but it was really too mysterious.
When he heard DeRozan's words, Ji Feng knew that there was a drama, so he invited him straightforwardly: "How about it, do you want to join forces, I think you have great potential!"
I have to say that Ji Feng is definitely a golden sign now. DeRozan was very excited when he heard it. This is Ji Feng's invitation.
The next thing is that James came forward, everything went well, just wait for the contract to be signed later, this is not the scope of Ji Feng's management, James now has a very scientific team, I believe they will give the best plan. .
Ji Feng, who had nothing to do, ended up decisively, a 1V1 bullfight!
DeRozan quickly realized that his previous thoughts were not bullshit, but really fucking bullshit. Looking at the dismal 10-0, DeRozan really wanted to eat the basketball in his hand.
"Too strong! It's so fucking strong!" DeRozan didn't get angry when he saw Ji Feng's back, but was very excited. That was Ji Feng, and he should have been beaten up by him. He's going to join such a guy's company, doesn't that mean a bright future!
Regardless of DeRozan's behavior, Ji Feng just went all the way and signed a few players, but such a big fish as DeRozan has never been seen again. Except for a young man, Monroe can still see it, and the others are really solid. In general, after all, these guys are also the sweet pastry in the eyes of others.
But Ji Feng was not in a hurry, he just took the tour, the RV drove all the way, and finally reached their destination on the night of the 30th, North Carolina!
