After changing careers, I became No.1 in basketball

Chapter 36 036: The strongest agent in the 90s?

Georgetown is about to face UNLV, which has become a game that everyone in the Ugly is paying close attention to.

UNLV's victory over Georgetown last season was already controversial.

With Mourning sent off, Georgetown lost only 1 point in the end.

So, people can't help but fantasize.With Shai this season, can Georgetown University overthrow UNLV's dominance?

The duel between Shay, a supernova, and Larry Johnson, a former king, has attracted even more attention.

Shay has already overthrown Owens and Steve Smith. If he overthrows Johnson again, what will happen?

It's just that most people were not very optimistic about Georgetown University and Shai before the game.

Even with Georgetown's tough defense, people still think Larry Johnson is an unstoppable guy.

Because of the game, Shay has also been interviewed more often during this period.

At the same time, more and more brokers came to recommend themselves.

However, Shay didn't know any of these people who came to recommend themselves.

If you want to talk about famous brokers since the 21st century, Shay may know quite a few.

Such as Bill Duffy, Fegan, Bart Stern, Jeff Schwartz, Rich Paul, Pelinka and so on.

But Shay really didn't know who were the well-known brokers in the 90s.

Not knowing who is reliable, Shay also doesn't know how to choose.

Brokers are especially important in an age when contracts are few and far between.

If the agent is not selected well, it is possible to become a unit of measurement for wages like Pippen in the future!

Therefore, although Shay politely left the numbers of all the visiting agents, he still didn't have a favorite candidate.

With such a bunch of unfamiliar names, it's really hard to choose.

Xie Yi never expected that one day, he would face a group of men and yell, "Change another batch!"

The day before the game, Shai arrived with the team in Seattle, where the Sweet 16 of the Western Conference will be held.

Tomorrow's game against UNLV will be held at the famous Kings Arena in Seattle.

Because it was the day before the game, Thompson did not arrange for the team to do high-intensity training today.

That is, I did some adaptive training at noon.

After the training, the teammates made an appointment to go to some famous check-in places in Seattle.

Only Shay chose to stay in the basketball hall and continue to practice more.

Join us again at dinner time.

Everyone has gotten used to it, and there isn't a day when Shay doesn't practice more.

He has become a well-known model worker for the team.

Shay actually wants to go to Seattle, but looking at his shooting attributes at the same level as Simmons.
Practice!

Fill up the experience bar early, level up early, and become stronger early.

If you can't become stronger, you can only be Danzi's background board in the 90s.

Shay has been training until 05:30 in the afternoon. After finally filling the training bar, he said goodbye to the trainer and was ready to meet everyone at the restaurant of the hotel where he stayed.

As soon as he walked out of the basketball court, Shay saw a Mediterranean man in a suit and leather shoes approaching him.

No need to think about it, it must be the agent who came to Xie Yi to recommend himself.

Shay roughly looked at the guy walking towards him. His suit and tie looked very old, completely different from the shiny people before.

So the broker estimated that the economy was not doing well.

Therefore, it should be just an unknown small character.

but.
For some reason, Xie Yi vaguely felt that this guy looked familiar.

"Hey Shay, nice to meet you.

Excuse me, let me introduce myself, my name is David Falk, a basketball agent.

I think the team has left long ago, have you been training alone all the time? "

David Falk! ?

Shai, who is the "basketball encyclopedia", searched the name in his mind, and eventually, he matched Jordan with him.

That's right, the man in the shabby suit in front of him is McDan's manager, David Falk!
After the 21st century, David Falk's name is rarely mentioned.

He was replaced by more and younger agents, and finally disappeared into the vast crowd.

But in the 90s, David Falk was definitely an agent who could cover the sky with one hand.

It's not just Jordan.

Superstars such as Ewing, Mutombo, Mourning, and O'Neal were also players under Falk.

At its peak, there were more than 200 players under Farke's banner. If you take players out to eat fruit plates, you have to book the field directly.

Even an old fritter like David Stern called Falk a "demon".

Why?Because he led the players to squeeze out all the oil and water in the league!

At that time, the league made money from the poor, but Falk slapped the table: "I don't make money from the poor, I make money from whoever has money!"

So all kinds of forcing the team to sign high salaries, and various big contract signings flew up.The most famous one is Danzi's annual salary of 3000 million.

You know, at that time, the salary cap of a team was not 3000 million!
Falk's series of operations in the 90s can be said to have directly promoted the improvement of the league's salary system.

Because if there are no restrictions on salary, all the bosses will be forced to sell the team by Falk's lion!

But since Jordan completely retired and the league's salary system has been improved, Falk's influence has gradually diminished.

Until later disappeared.

It can only be said that one version of one generation of gods.In the 90s, when the amount and duration of the contract could be decided by oneself, Falk was the god of editions!

He may be hated by the league and the owners, but this kind of agent is precisely the one who works for the best interests of the players.

One thing he often said is: My job is to get a high-value contract for the players. I don't have to be loyal to the team, but I have this obligation and responsibility to the players.

Xie Yi smiled. After waiting for so long, he finally found a reliable agent!

Of course, Falk's influence is not that great now.

Although Jordan is already one of the best players in the league, he has not yet become a god.

Therefore, Falk has to look for potential players everywhere and recruit them under his command.

After confirming the other party's identity, Xie suppressed the excitement in his heart, and answered Falk's question: "Well, I have been practicing in it just now."

"That's a hard worker, Shay. I just knew there wasn't a top player who wasn't hardworking.

People always say that talented players can dominate the game, but no matter how talented a player is, it takes sweat to succeed. "

Falk looked at Shay and nodded in approval.

As Jordan's agent, he knows how hard Jordan works.

He also firmly believes that players who are both talented and hardworking will succeed sooner or later.

"Shay, I'm sorry to bother you, but you should know that in order to enter the professional basketball game, you need the help of an agent.

I'm now Michael Jordan's agent, I have experience in this area, you can trust me.

I know that the NCAA stipulates that you cannot contact the agent in advance.

But it doesn't matter, we can get along as friends now.

This is my business card. If you need help, call me anytime. I can help you solve any problems.

You have practiced for so long, I will not delay your rest.

Good luck for tomorrow's game!

But before you defeat Larry Johnson, I will give you a gift tomorrow~"

Falk said, smiling mysteriously.

Shay accepted Falk's business card, nodded, and left the training hall.

Gift?

It seems illegal for an agent to give gifts to players, right?

Wait, this guy won't send some big sister Hesi to knock on his door at night to accompany him to exercise, right?

Oh, what an embarrassment, hehehe~
However, Shay slept all night without hearing anyone knock on the door!

So, what is your present?

Shay woke up and went to the hotel restaurant for breakfast.

When we arrived at the restaurant, several teammates were already eating breakfast and reading newspapers.

Seeing Xie walking in, everyone waved at him: "Xia, you are so famous now, you are on the headlines of the sports section!"

Xie Yi looked over curiously, and found that there were long introductions about himself in several local media newspapers in Seattle today!

The titles are also very eye-catching:

"The most diligent genius is about to kill the king of last season!"

The content of the report is probably to brag about how hard Shai has worked and how hard he has been training every day to enter the NBA.

Shay has been portrayed as a hard-working and lovable character.

This made Shay extremely popular!

After all, who doesn't like an athlete who is both talented and hardworking?
These reports even made Shay a good impression in the hearts of many NBA teams.

After all, there are too many players who start to perform poorly after signing a professional contract. Who doesn't love a player like Shay who has pursuit and dreams?
This quality of Shai may allow him to continue to rise in the draft.

Shay smiled. It turned out that the gift Falk was talking about was this.

The media certainly won't all praise Shay all of a sudden. There is only one possibility, and that is that Falk used his connections to get the newspaper to do so.

This is not only a gift, but also a means for Falk to show his strength.

Shay looked at the newspaper and nodded, all right, all right, I know you are amazing.

Then, it's my turn to show my strength!
In the afternoon, at the entrance of the Kings Arena, reporters surrounded the UNLV team bus, waiting to interview Larry Johnson.

Larry Johnson got out of the car wearing a pair of sunglasses, looking like a superstar.

Soon, a reporter asked Johnson: "Are you worried that your winning streak will be ended by Shay?"

Now Shay is so famous that he has overwhelmed Mutombo and Mourning.

Moreover, more and more people support Shay.

Because people really want to see a Hollywood-style story of a hard-working little guy defeating a big devil.

However, Larry Johnson was full of disdain for Shay:

"Shay? Who? I've never heard of him.

How many champions does he have?

Georgetown is nothing more than our defeated opponent, nothing to be afraid of! "

After the champion was so hot, he snapped his fingers with a "click".

He's ready to go big!

The game between Georgetown and UNLV is much more than just basketball.
