The first plug-in in basketball

Chapter 43

Compared with the glamorous NBA players, NBA player agents are really a thankless job.

Many players in the NBA even borrowed money from their agents before entering the NBA, or some of their relatives and friends borrowed money from their agents.

An NBA agent once complained anonymously that after being selected into the lottery, his employer asked him to arrange a plane immediately so that he and his friends could go on vacation. Naturally, the scout did not dare to offend his employer, so he quickly arranged.

But when he made the arrangements, his employer said he didn't want to go, so the agent had no choice but to pay the pilot a certain amount of compensation and canceled the trip.

However, not long after the agent returned home, his employer said that he still wanted to go and had to leave on the same day. The agent had no choice but to contact the pilot again. However, when the departure time came, his employer said that he could not come and would be later.In this way, after three repetitions, the agent's employer and his friends set off at night.

The agent who originally thought he could take a rest for a while did not expect his employer to call and ask him to get some wine around the wee hours of the morning, because they drank all the wine...

"Basketball genius is different from other team sports. When he was an All-American in his senior year, everyone knew him. Everyone in town knew him. Agents, college coaches, media, a lot of people in the basketball world knew him. You and I have matured in college.

"When every coach uses you, every girl says yes to your date, everyone wants to be your friend, you can call the shots, you are the star, and no one dares to talk about your weaknesses, how do you grow normally? If you do something wrong, someone else is blamed, it may be a coach, a teammate, or an agent. They are deprived of any possible opportunity to fail. They don't have to take responsibility and don't have to learn important life lessons."

This is also a major reason why many NBA players live a poor life after retiring, and it is also the reason why the league invites some financial experts to teach the rookies who have just entered the league every year.

Most NBA players were too poor when they were young. Of course, it must be cool to become a millionaire all of a sudden, so the final result is often to disappear in the superhuman league of the NBA and quickly leave people's sight...

However, no matter how hard it is for NBA player agents, many people still jump into the fire pit. After all, there are risks and rewards.

The news of Lin Yi's decision to hire an agent was sent through Javier Stanford.

The NBA teams are happy, especially Presti and the Thunder. Although the NBA clearly stipulates that they are not allowed to contact rookies in advance, Presti doesn't care about such rules.

"As soon as Lin confirms his agent, immediately arrange for me to meet with his agent." Presti said to his assistant.

NBA agents are also crazy.

What a joke, Lin Yi is one of the top three rookies this year, and he is also backed by the Chinese market. With such a potential player, the NBA giants don't want to miss it.

Jeff Swartz, Mark Bartelstein, Bill Duffy, Leon Rose, Andy Miller, Rich Paul, Rob Pelinka, Dan Fegan, Aaron Mintz, Jeff Austin…

One after another, calls from legendary managers bombarded Lin Yi.

Jeff Swartz told Lin Yi that his employers are all big men from the NBA. He knows how to help Lin Yi plan and plan his growth direction. Look, how well Aldridge has done here.

Leon Rose told Lin Yi that he would help Lin Yi make a reasonable analysis and make a calm judgment, and look at Carmelo Anthony's career, how awesome it is!
Rich Paul's recruitment is simple and domineering. Want to be the next superstar?I'm good at hype and will keep you on top of the hype.

Rob Pelinka even played the emotional card, I heard your idol is Kobe Bryant?Do you want to train with Kobe in the offseason?
These NBA bigwigs have used all the weapons they can use.

Nothing else, just want to recruit Lin Yi!
"Am I so popular?" Lin Yi asked while eating a special hamburger and watching Stephen Curry, who lost to him again in 2K.

"Of course." Stephen Curry is too familiar with these.

"This is the NBA, and the NBA is also a business field. Because you are valuable, they will praise you so much." Stephen Curry said clichéd.

Stephen Curry is very curious about who Lin Yi will choose.

Because when Lin Yi called just now, it was a public release, and Stephen even heard that a scout was even planning to use money to make Lin Yi surrender...

This is nothing new in the NCAA. In order to get players, an agent even does not hesitate to use money to lure his employer.

After all, these geniuses who are still playing in the NCAA are really poor students...

Otherwise, the basketball scholarships of these universities in the United States would not be so attractive to them.

"I'm not going to choose them." Lin Yi was very aware of the importance of this move, and he didn't intend to hide it from Stephen Curry.

Lin Yi soon received an email from Javier Stanford. In this email, there were many profiles and information of agents. These agents were not well-known, and the most powerful of them only signed two substitute players who played in the NBA.

"I want to form my own team." Lin Yi told Stephen Curry.

"That's really cool!" Babyface became more interested, who would Lin Yi choose?

Lin Yi actually made up his mind a long time ago.

Although the big bosses in the NBA have a lot of resources and connections, for Lin Yi's knowledge, what he needs is not resources and connections. In the United States, no matter how many resources and connections are given to you, if you can't grasp it yourself, you will be finished sooner or later.

He was not worried that the agent he had chosen would not be able to bring him resources. To put it bluntly, what Lin Yi needed was a real strategist behind the scenes, not a dog-headed strategist who encouraged him to ask for a big contract every offseason.

Lin Yi's eyes stayed on a resume sent by Javier Stanford.

this person...

Interesting.

Especially his past experience, it can really be said to be quite legendary.

Lin Yi immediately sent a text message to Javier Stanford.

"you sure?"

"I'm sure!"
