In Bill Duffy's materials, he analyzed Lu Yi's technical characteristics in great detail. It was as if he had analyzed all of his match recordings frame by frame. There was also a physical test form attached to it. It was unknown where this fellow had found out about it, but it was almost the same as the physical test.
The only difference was that Bill Duffy did not know about the increase in wingspan after Lu Yi. He only estimated that it was around 220cm. It was very similar, but a difference of one centimeter would bring about different abilities.
Of course, this was not a big deal.
Bill Duffy also gave his opinion on Lu Yi's development. He believed that in the next two to three seasons, Lu Yi should focus on improving his strength and then gradually develop his own unique skill label.
For example, when it came to a three-point retreat, James Harden would inevitably come to mind. When it came to three-pointers, one would inevitably think of Curry, who could shoot three-pointers indiscriminately throughout the game. When it came to fadeaway jumpers, Jordan and Kobe would inevitably come to mind.
Or, when it came to Europe, Ginobili, Wade, and Harden would be mentioned.
Everyone had a label that made people's impression of them solidify. This was very helpful to their commercial value and even the Alliance's impression of them.
As for the suggestion of packaging, it was nothing more than to give Lu Yi two choices. One was to create a character design to improve his image in the hearts of the fans. The other was to be himself. For example, Harden, this person often made funny actions on various occasions, making people unable to help but like him. For example, the hot-tempered, well-known Young Master Wei, who had always been clear about love and hate, gave the fans the impression that he was the real deal. Of course, it would also easily lead to the destruction of the image.
But no matter what, as long as they didn't do anything that would ruin their morals, they would increase their commercial value.
All in all, Bill Duffy gave a lot of personal advice and details that Lu Yi approved of. This was the first time someone had taught him how to be a star player.
What made him even more interested was that Bill Duffy had once worked for Big Yao's "Team Yao." He was familiar with the domestic market operations, which was very attractive. It was a resume that was more eye-catching than other big shots.
In the afternoon, a special plane flew from the air above Chicago to New York's Brooks, which would be the destination of the Bulls.
They would play tomorrow night against the New York Nets.
This was the first time he had taken a luxury jet and traveled with the team. Lu Yi was very excited and sat by the window to take a nap.
At this moment, Wade, Rondo, and the others were playing cards together to pass time. The cabin was not quiet. However, that was the culture of the league. It did not prohibit players from having private activities.
To put it bluntly, the coaching team believed that it was an activity to improve the relationship between players, and they advocated it. The prerequisite was that they shouldn't gamble big money. Once it involved a huge amount of money, it would easily hurt their feelings.
Back then, Arenas was involved in a gun incident because of gambling money with his teammates. So far, although the team did not prohibit players from playing cards and gambling money, at least they did not encourage players to do so.
Lu Yi was sitting beside them, listening to the laughter and debate as they played their cards. He could only pretend to sleep.
"Lu, haven't you decided on your manager yet?”
For some reason, Wade actually took the initiative to mention Lu Yi's agent. Perhaps it was because his agent, Leon Ross, wanted to pull strings through him?
Lu Yi opened his eyes and glanced at him. He smiled and said,"I've roughly confirmed the candidate, but I'm still considering it.”
"Uh..."
Wade muttered as he played his cards,""Actually, there are only a few big-name managers. You can decide for yourself who you want to represent you in all your off-site matters. As long as he could help you share your worries and not be distracted during the game, then he was qualified to be an agent.”
Wade turned to look at Lu Yi and smiled.""I originally wanted to help you check or introduce you to someone. Now that you have a candidate, we won't do anything unnecessary.”
The others seemed to have the same intention of introducing the agent, but after Wade finished speaking, he just smiled. He still wanted to show more care to the team's only rookie with potential.
The flight of the private plane only took about two hours. Before it was dark, they had already arrived at the hotel. As soon as they were done putting things in the room, Wade suddenly suggested that they find a place to play and improve their relationship.
Lu Yi wanted to refuse, but Wade pulled him away.
The bar was very lively at night. People were moving, and the music was extremely loud. It was very noisy, but Wade and the others were in high spirits. They were already used to such lively occasions, unlike Lu Yi, who was a rookie.
Considering that there was still a competition the next day, no one ordered alcohol. They only ordered a drink each and chatted casually. However, they had to speak loudly.
Wade, as the wily old fox of the Four Heroes of the Wind and Dust, was the first to start the conversation. He put his arm around Lu Yi's shoulder and asked,"Newbie, I'm the same as you. I'm also a newcomer to the Bulls. It's just that I've been in the Alliance longer than you and have experienced more things than you. So, if you have any problems in the future, you can look for me. I will definitely help you.”
Although the rap music in the bar was very loud, Wade's words were still heard by everyone at the table. They were surprised. They didn't expect Wade, a veteran superstar who already had three championship rings, to be so interested in Lu Yi. There were so many people in the team, but only Lu Yi was so optimistic.
Lu Yi nodded, expressing his gratitude for Wade's care.
He looked at the other party seriously and pondered for a while. He seemed to have thought of something and asked seriously,"Dwyane, I want to know, you came to Bull with three rings. Now, do you still want to win the championship?”
Wade turned around and replied solemnly without any hesitation,""Rookie, I'm always hungry for the championship. You should never underestimate the heart of a champion!”
"Don't think that I don't want more just because I have the ring.”
"So, you have to improve yourself at any time and become stronger. This way, I'll get the fourth ring when I come to Bull…"
"Hehe, when the time comes, I want to see what that fellow, Le Bulang, thinks!”
