As the most successful and famous player in the Chinese basketball world, Dayao's influence has not diminished at all even though he has retired for several years. Even without Dayao, the dismal record of the Chinese men's basketball team in the past two years has made people more and more aware of the situation.
Realize how important Yao is to Chinese basketball!
Wang Feng knows better that as a player, Yao reached the top level of China, and after retiring, he still reached the top of all retired players.
In February 2017, Dayao was elected chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association, becoming the most powerful person in the Chinese basketball world!
And until Wang Feng traveled through time, Dayao was still sitting in the position of chairman of the Basketball Association, even more stable, and also served as the chairman of the Asian Basketball Federation!
Under these two gimmicks, Dayao's other identity, the chairman and general manager of the Chinese Professional League Company, is simply not worth mentioning.
Wang Feng has made up his mind to continue his activities as a basketball player in the future. In this case, it is essential to have a good relationship with the giant Buddha Dayao.
In fact, Dayao also had the same idea.
The dinner invitation this time was nominally for all members of the men's basketball national team, but in fact the other players had benefited from Wang Feng. Dayao just wanted to get to know Wang Feng and get to know this guy who had single-handedly made his way in the NBA.
A bright young man.
How difficult is it for a Chinese player to make a name for himself in the NBA?
Dayao understood this deeply.
He joined the NBA as the No. 1 pick in the NBA, and it can be said that he has attracted much attention from all the stars. But even so, he still encountered a lot of doubts when he first joined the NBA. There were even famous commentators who openly questioned and used the word "Yao Yao".
performance bet.
Fortunately, Dayao withstood the pressure and contributed wonderful performances one after another. Not only did he make the opponent lose the bet and kiss the donkey's butt, but he also proved his ability to the entire league.
Later, whether it was A Lian or Sun Yue who participated in the NBA draft, Dayao and his team actually put in a lot of effort behind the scenes. Otherwise, the strength of both A Lian and Sun Yue was not comparable to the draft picks they obtained at that time.
match.
This is also true. Relying on the influence of Dayao and Chinese background, Arab League and Sun Yue successfully landed in the NBA. However, the NBA is a competitive league after all. Under the high-intensity and high-level competitive competition, Sun Yue simply cannot adapt. In the Lakers
He was cut from the team after winning a championship ring.
On the other hand, although Ah Lian is stronger than Sun Yue and managed to play in the NBA for a few years, he was ultimately unable to show the same inside dominance as Yao, and could only gradually become a substitute role player.
Dayao is very aware of the strength of Arab League and Sun Yue. Even they cannot adapt to the high-intensity NBA competition. Wang Feng, who is in his early twenties and has just started his career without any formal game experience, can actually stand firm...
This is enough to show how talented Wang Feng is in the field of basketball.
To this end, Dayao specifically watched all of Wang Feng's game videos last season. His precise shooting, strong defense, and courage to fight...these are what the current Chinese men's basketball team lacks.
After reading it, Dayao was already convinced that Wang Feng could definitely take over his baton and become the leader of the Chinese men's basketball team!
…
"Wang Feng, I finally see you. I have admired you for so long..."
After the noisy dinner, the players chatted with each other in groups of two, and Dayao finally found the opportunity and took the initiative to come to Wang Feng to say hello.
"Don't dare, I should say I have admired you for a long time." Wang Feng said with some fear: "I grew up watching you play since I was a child, and today I finally met my idol with my own eyes!"
I have watched you since I was a child. Although this sentence has become a famous meme on the Internet, it is not an exaggeration at all when applied to Dayao at this moment.
When Yao joined the NBA as the No. 1 pick in 2002, Wang Feng was only 9 years old!
Whether it is Wang Feng who is a time traveler and does not pay much attention to sports at this time, or another Wang Feng who aims to be a professional player and started to contact basketball at a very young age and worked hard for it, the name Dayao has accompanied him throughout his life.
Childhood and even school days.
"You still have training tasks, so you won't drink. However, I would like to offer you a cup of tea instead of wine." Dayao said, holding the tea cup and saying to Wang Feng: "It's really great that you can participate in this Asian Championships."
Okay, now the Chinese men's basketball team really needs talents like you."
"Isn't it natural to win glory for the country?" Wang Feng also smiled and said: "Besides, participating in this kind of competition is also a rare competition experience. For me now, I can't miss any training and make myself better.
Strong opportunity.”
"It's good to have such a mentality." Dayao nodded with satisfaction. "If you want to gain a foothold in the NBA, you must be mentally prepared to face competition and challenges at all times! If you need any help, you can contact me.
Say, don't be polite."
Hearing what Dayao said, Wang Feng was slightly startled. "I really have something I want you to help me with."
During his return to China, Wang Feng increasingly discovered the importance of an agent.
Joining the Asian Championships has brought Wang Feng's popularity in China to the next level. Various advertising and endorsement invitations are pouring in, including offers with generous treatment and full sincerity.
But Wang Feng could only reluctantly turn it down. He only had one, and he couldn't do it three times at once. Especially when he spent a lot of time in training to hone his abilities, he had to have a professional agent to assist him.
When he saw Dayao, Wang Feng thought of Team Yao, the famous team behind Dayao.
That is a team of agents formed by many people, responsible for all activities of Dayao off the court. It can be said that Dayao can achieve such achievements on and off the court. The contribution of Yao's team behind the scenes cannot be ignored!
Wang Feng had previously thought about finding an agent to help with off-field matters after returning to the United States, but after thinking about it carefully, he now has no influence at all in the United States. In addition to the team's contract extension, an American agent has no influence in the United States.
There is very little that can be done to help him in other aspects.
Dayao's Yao team is different.
Wang Feng's situation is very similar to that of Yao Yao. As a Chinese player, the market in China is much larger than that in the United States! This situation has already brought out the rich experience of Yao's team in the past!
If Wang Feng can get assistance from Yao's team's economic team, at least outside the game, in most cases he won't need to spend too much energy.
"So you don't have an agent yet?"
After hearing Wang Feng express his thoughts, Dayao was very happy.
Today, Dayao is considered an excellent businessman. He owns many commercial brands and is the owner of the Shanghai Sharks Basketball Club. Many Shanghai team players are contract players under his economic team.
There is no doubt about Wang Feng's commercial value. Although I don't know if he can reach Dayao's standards in the future, even at this stage, he is definitely the top domestic player!
Being able to sign Wang Feng is naturally something Yao dreams of!
