Chapter Forty-Five Undercurrents Surge
Maybe it's fate? In the first round of the Southern Conference playoffs, the Davidson Wildcats met Butler University led by McClupp's friend Vincent.
After Vincent finished drawing lots, he wanted to die, and it was this old bitch, old bitch again! !
"Beat me to death, you're welcome." McCropp looked at the disciples and said righteously.
Lin Yi and Stephen looked at each other, as if to say: After we enter the league, we must not learn from Coach McClop. The friendship of the past 30 years means that plastic is plastic.
There is no suspense, the Davidson Wildcats, the favorite in the South, will not fall here.
Coach Vincent's teeth itch with hatred, hmph, I heard that kid Lin is also looking for an agent, right? Wait, wait until next year both of your two aces will go to the NBA, and see if I don't beat you to death.
86 to 59, in the cheers of the Wildcats fans, the Wildcats successfully advanced to the next round.
Stephen Curry easily clocked out 10 minutes early and scored 25 points and 9 assists in the game.
Lin Yi felt that he had been replaced before his muscles and bones started to move. He scored 14 points, 8 rebounds, 4 blocks, 5 assists and 1 steal in the game.
The busiest player in this game should be Lin Yi's agent Zhong Muchen. After Javier Stanford announced that Lin Yi already has an agent and has a high probability of running for the election, Zhong Muchen suddenly became a celebrity in the American basketball circle.
Those bosses and managers in the NBA hate their teeth itching, who the fuck is this guy? From where did Cheng Yaojin cut us off?
"Mr. Zhong, congratulations!"
"Yeah, look at how well Lin played!"
"That's right, after entering March Madness, his ranking will definitely go up!"
In the basketball hall of the Wildcats, Zhong Muchen was surrounded by compliments from scouts.
"Hello, Mr. Zhong, I am a scout for the Oklahoma City Thunder in the NBA. You can call me Almond. Mr. Presti, the general manager of the Thunder, is very interested in Lin and hopes to be able to participate in March Madness." Before the start of the game, I will have a talk with you about Lin Yi's development after entering the NBA." Almond is a bald scout, and Presti arranged for him to follow Lin Yi's entire game.
At this time, Zhong Muchen was in high spirits. Although he knew that Lin Yi gave him all this, he had to give Lin Yi enough cards. Isn't my card the same as Lin Yi's?
"Oh, I see." Zhong Muchen suppressed the excitement in his heart, at this moment he can't be a dick, can't he be a dick!
Amond didn't expect that he would be rejected, so he said again: "Mr. Zhong, Mr. Presti is really interested in Lin, please be sure to meet Mr. Presti."
"Well, good." Zhong Muchen answered calmly. At this time, he had already put on a brand-name suit, and his whole person looked completely new.
Amond looked helpless, so he and Zhong Muchen could only temporarily make an appointment to meet Presti.
Zhong Muchen is not stupid, after all, Almond is just a scout, and he is not Presti.
Before the game ended, another bald man walked towards Zhong Muchen.
"Hello, Mr. Zhong, I'm Barbosa, the scout of the Phoenix Suns. The general manager of our team, Mr. Steve Kerr, wants to have a meeting with you about Lin." Barbosa smiled and stretched out own hand.
Steve Kerr? Zhong Muchen felt that the excitement in his heart could hardly be restrained. Lin Yi is really so good, even the Suns have moved their minds?
Steve Kerr, that is Michael Jordan's teammate, one of the founders of the Bulls dynasty, and the current general manager of the NBA Phoenix Suns.
"Okay." Zhong Muchen simply agreed.
What Zhong Muchen didn't expect was that what followed was...
"Hello,
I'm a scout for the Los Angeles Clippers, our general manager..."
"Hi, I'm a scout for the Memphis Grizzlies, our general manager..."
"Hi, I'm a scout for the Golden State Warriors, our general manager..."
Zhong Muchen had imagined that Lin Yi's influence was already so great.
The general managers of so many NBA teams hope to meet with him to discuss Lin Yi's future.
"It's normal." Lin Yi nodded confidently after learning about these things, "These teams all hope to get high picks this year."
The wonderful one-on-one between Lin Yi and Blake Griffin has already spread all over the United States through TV media.
Coupled with the impressive record of the Houston Rockets this year led by Yao Ming alone, and the endless potential of the Chinese market after the economic crisis, people are naturally full of goodwill towards the big man from China.
What's more, the big man's style of play is so unique and American.
The NBA's draft position has not yet been determined at this time. It is not certain who will get the No. 1 pick and who will be the top three. These teams will definitely try their best to win them over and give them a good impression.
Because there is still a key part of the NBA draft, which is the trial training before the draft.
There is a saying in the NBA that twisted melons are not sweet, which is why New York has always been worried about the Warriors cutting off their beards, because the previous NBA teams were very rational and tacit after Curry did not go to the trial. Didn't choose Curry, only Warriors...
"I made an appointment with them to meet next week, after your regional finals." Zhong Muchen replied.
"Well, you don't need to respond to any of their promises, just say that you still need to discuss with me. By the way, have any sponsors come to you?" Before Lin Yi had no agent, these NBA scouts At most, I can only give Lin Yi some hints. Now that Lin Yi has an agent, naturally these teams will be dispatched one after another to seize the opportunity.
As for the rules of the league?
Hmph, when did that old fellow Stern ever abide by his own rules?
"Yes! Adidas and Nike have already contacted me, and they hope to win your favor." Zhong Muchen was very excited, oh my god, he can also have intimate talks with the heads of these big-name sponsors, and others have to support himself .
Adidas and Nike?
"There are also some domestic brands, Peak and Anta... By the way, Puma is also very interested in you." Zhong Muchen looked at the records in his notebook with a proud face.
"Really, don't promise them. After March Madness is over, "Sports Weekly" and CCTV will release a promotional feature film for me. At that time, my social value will skyrocket. At that time, you can speak loudly and slowly. Sit down with them and raise the price." Lin Yi said with a smile, Wu Xiaolei and Qi Jun have successfully helped him create momentum in the country.
When Wu Xiaolei interviewed herself last time, Qi Jun had already made a documentary for him called "The Seven-Foot Point Guard of the Wildcats". CCTV was very interested in this film and planned to play it before Lin Yi's election , so that Chinese fans know Lin Yi's situation.
After the end of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, the basketball atmosphere in China was at an all-time high. Hey, it's just a pity that Adelman's style of play and Dayao's season are the final peak.
Zhong Muchen was filled with emotion, how could he say that a truly talented player can change the fate of a basketball agent, wouldn't his own fate be changed now?
"Don't worry, I'm also short of money, but don't worry for a while, I don't want to sign a child labor contract..." Lin Yi smiled, he knew his own value.
March Madness As long as the wildcats' signing luck is not bad, he believes that he and Curry can at least bring the team to the quarterfinals.
Then is the time for these sponsors to feel sorry for their own pockets!
