When he woke up, Lu Yi realized that it was already evening and it was time to get off work.
The sun was setting slightly in the west, and the golden sunlight reflected the blue sky.
Lu Yi peeked out of the window and saw that there was no one gathered downstairs, so he started to go downstairs. He first went to the headquarters to eat a nutritious meal and exercise a little. Then, he headed straight to the training center.
As soon as he arrived near the stadium, he found a group of people in suits and leather shoes surrounding the main entrance. It was so lively that he did not know what they were up to. If it was an ordinary media reporter, they wouldn't dress so formally. However, if it was a manager, they would directly come to his room to block the door. Obviously, these people were nothing.
Without any explanation, he squeezed through the crowd. However, when he passed by, those people kept calling his name, saying that they were some kind of company, some kind of brand. Hearing this, Lu Yi instantly understood.
He walked into the stadium and saw Hoyberg frowning and standing on the side of the court with his arms crossed, looking troubled. Seeing him appear, Hoyberg immediately walked over and said seriously,""Lu, you need a manager now. Let him take care of everything for you instead of letting those annoying guys come and watch.”
"Are those all merchants?" Lu Yi asked.
"Yes, but they're all small vendors. They want to take advantage of your recent fame to find you to endorse. Because at this time, your net worth would not be very high. Once a big brand or merchant came to snatch it, your net worth would rise sharply. It would be impossible for them to get a bargain.”
Hoyberg looked up at Lu Yi and suggested,"" You don't have to pay attention to them. The real big businessmen won't be so demeaning as to block the door and look for you to endorse. They will look for your agent and the higher-ups of the team to convey the message, such as me..."
He frowned and smiled bitterly." Thanks to your crazy 62 points last night, my phone is about to explode today. Whether it's the higher-ups or the merchants, they're calling me one by one because they can't get in touch with you personally. The team won't let them disturb you.”
"Your priority now is to train seriously and focus on the game. The management doesn't want you to be affected by anything outside the field.”
"So, you have to speed up and find a manager to help you take care of these things. If there's no one else, I can introduce my manager to you..."
"Alright, I got it!"
Lu Yi interrupted the head coach with a headache. He did not want to be recommended any more agents because he already had a candidate in mind.
It seemed like he had to contact him and sit down to have a good talk.
He secretly planned.
Seeing that he had his own plans, Hoyberg nodded and did not say anything else.
Tomorrow night, they would play against the Orlando Magic at home. Right now, they had to do some targeted drills. The Orlando Magic was not a strong team. On the contrary, they had been rejected from the playoffs for four consecutive seasons. In some seasons, they were even the favorite to be the top draft pick at the bottom, acting as a tank for the other strong teams in the league.
Therefore, tonight's training mission was not heavy. It was not difficult to win against a team like this.
After more than ten minutes, his other teammates arrived one after another. Even Dwyane Wade, who was recovering from his injury, was wearing casual clothes and running around to watch the training.
After the crazy 60 points last night, Lu Yi's fame in the league had not only skyrocketed, but his status in the team had also soared. Butler, the original core of the team, was like an ugly duckling in front of him. He seemed so dull and had no sense of existence.
Butler had always been quiet and cold. Now that Lu Yi's fame had soared overnight, he seemed even more silent. He almost never smiled and trained in silence.
Hoyberg did not care much about his condition. He was more concerned about Lu Yi's mental state. Last night's match was crazy enough, but the exhaustion of physical energy was no joke. He was worried that Lu Yi would enter a period of fatigue and it would be difficult for him to recover.
Fortunately, throughout the training, Lu Yi looked energetic and was not affected too much. Wade, who was beside him, exclaimed,""It's still good to be young. You have endless stamina every day!”
"Em, we are very concerned about his health now. Even the team doctor asked about his body today, worried that he used too much strength last night and was easily injured.”
Hoyberg nodded seriously.
"You're worried he'll follow in Derrick Rose's footsteps, right? We do need to pay attention to that." Wade smiled and kept looking at Lu Yi's area. No one knew what he was thinking.
"Yes, the lessons of the past are the lessons of the future. It was not easy for us to obtain such a piece of unpolished jade, so we can't let it break easily.”Hoyberg also felt that he was still too nervous about Lu Yi and had slightly lost his sense of propriety. He laughed to himself and shook his head.
"Indeed, didn't I learn from that mistake?”Wade looked at his walking stick and smiled bitterly.
"So, Dwyane, you have to work hard and recover as soon as possible. We still need you. If the team wants to achieve better results in the new season, you can't afford to lose.”Hoyberg patted Wade's shoulder and encouraged him.
"I will, Fred, and don't think I'm some sort of teenager.”Wade smiled and said,""I'm a first-line casualty who has been fighting with injuries all year round!”
"Yes!"
Hoyberg nodded and did not say anything else. However, he didn't know that Wade had come tonight with some purpose, as if he was going to make some important decisions. If he paid attention to the latter's state, he would find that the other party's eyes were fixed on Lu Yi without blinking. There was a certain aura in his eyes.
This rookie is growing so quickly. Even I didn't expect him to perform so crazily last night.
I'll observe you for a few more matches and see if you can really make me feel at ease to be the main attacker in the rotation.
Wade looked deeply at Lu Yi and then at his leg injury. He sighed slightly and didn't say anything. His eyes observed Lu Yi's every move again.
After the targeted drill, the first thing Lu Yi did after leaving the training hall was to take out his phone and call Bill Duffy.
"Hi, Lu, I've been waiting for your call for a long time! I thought you had forgotten about me or chosen someone else.”
Before he could say anything, the other party was the first to laugh heartily.
