0094: [It's time to become a business superstar]
Coach Jamilin's words surprised many people: Usually, it is the head coach who persuades the core players to stay and play for another year, how can the head coach take the initiative to persuade the core players to run for the NBA?
Don't?
When the crowd dissipated, Li Zhen and Jemilin stayed at the end with a tacit understanding.
"You're not going to leave Stanford, are you?" Li Zhen asked.
"Yes, I made my decision before then." Jemilin was very frank, he didn't hide it at all, and said very sincerely: "I know that you are an emotional person. If I stay at Stanford, it's hard for you to make the decision that is best for you. ”
"My time at Stanford is over. Even with my impressive resume this season, I still haven't been able to get a managerial position in Crimson. The American basketball world is too particular about connections, and McHanney's connections in California basketball are deep-rooted. And I'm only thirty-two years old, and there's no way they can teach such an important position to a Chinese American. ”
"You know McHaney's coaching standards and character better than I do. Why should I stay and be angry? I'm going to Kansas next season and Bill Celf admires me so much that he's already offered me a contract as head assistant. You know, Kansas is the most prestigious team in the NCAA, they have a network of people all over the American basketball world, and the likes of Larry Brown and Roy Williams are all from there, and I can learn more about the academy from Mr. Bill Serve. ”
"Maybe one day, we'll meet in the NBA."
Jemilin said with a smile on his face.
It can be seen that he is full of yearning for the future and full of confidence.
As he said, if you can't get the head coach position at Stanford, going to Kansas is really the best option. Stanford's basketball atmosphere is, to be honest, so-so.
"If I stay and help you, how confident do you think you would be to beat McHaney to become the head coach of the team?"
Sure enough, Bruce Lee still mentioned the issue.
He is really a kind and affectionate person.
Jamilin smiled and said seriously, "Don't be stupid. I'm only 32 years old, and neither my qualifications nor my ability are enough to support an NCAA Division I team. Can you help me one year, and the next year after you graduate? Now, I should be doing something to enrich my resume, expand my network, and improve my technical and tactical skills. ”
"This wonderful and magical journey is coming to an end, let's keep it in our memories. It's time to part ways, man. ”
Jamilin patted Li Zhen on the shoulder, and he looked very calm.
His emotions also infected Li Zhen, he was no longer entangled, but showed a smile: "Then let's go the same way and meet at the highest point." ”
Hahahaha!
Jamie Lin laughed heartily and said, "Sooner or later, I'll go to the NBA to find you." Don't be eliminated from the NBA early, I've heard that the average NBA player has only five years of service. Except for those old guys who have played for ten or twenty years at every turn, most of the players even left in the NBA just after being familiar with each other. ”
"Of course not."
Li Zhen is categorical, and he is full of confidence in this matter. Because there are far more degenerates in the NBA than in the NCAA, after all, NCAA students have no financial conditions to fall, and the overall level of talent is far inferior to that of the NBA.
When I arrived in the NBA, the group of millionaires, multimillionaires and even billionaires, all of them were so talented, well-spoken, and wild, all of them were talents. Positive energy babies really like the NBA.
"Go ahead! Enjoy advancing to the finals! ”
Jemilin patted Li Zhen on the shoulder, and the conversation between the two men came to an end. At the same time, it also means that they are about to move towards a different basketball life.
But either way, both of them are now on the right path. Compared with the scene in Li Zhen's nightmare, I don't know how many times better.
That's nice!
Li Zhen raised his head and walked out happily.
……
As all the sports media reported on the fall of this season's super-dark horse before the start of the game, the overwhelming criticism pushed the Stamford Crimson team to the forefront of public opinion.
Now, however, with the Stamford Crimson slaughtering Louisiana with a score of 86-47.
The media was caught off guard, and the prestige was surging upwards because of this 180-degree reversal.
Almost everyone who follows basketball knows about this remarkable feat, and at the same time remembers... Cowboy from Northern California loves to go to the bar and drink milk terrier!
With 12 points, 16 assists and 2 steals in this game, Bruce Lee once again became the arrow figure of public opinion.
People are starting to seriously discuss whether he is the best point guard in the NCAA.
And the answer on the web is almost one-sided: Who better to be the NCAA's No. 1 point guard than Bruce Lee? He single-handedly led the civilian team from the Pacific Division to the Finals, from the No. 64 seed all the way to the finals. Whether it's a record or a stat, who can beat him?
However, experts always have other answers.
They say it, or... Entangled in physical fitness.
I think Bruce can't stand up to the confrontation, but... What else to fight against?
He has already reached the finals, what other confrontations have he not experienced?
Therefore, the fans are very unimpressed by the statements of the experts. In addition, before the semi-final matchup against LSU, the media hyped up and criticized the news of Stanford's collective clubbing, but in the end he was slapped in the face. This creates a sense of distrust of information that underestimates Bruce.
At the same time, NBA teams are moving more and more frequently. As the NCAA season draws to a close and the annual draft is about to begin, the nerves of the lottery clubs are also tense.
For NBA teams in the late stages, picking the right rookie can even establish a strong position for ten years.
Therefore, everyone is very cautious about the draft, especially the selection of lotto shows.
At this time, Bill Duffy, a famous NBA agent, publicly said: "Bruce Lee is the most commercially valuable player in this rookie, and his NCAA games have at least increased the Stamford Crimson's income by tens of millions of dollars." Just imagine how much eyeball effect Bruce has to bring when the gorgeous and handsome Bruce joins the NBA. ”
"And, don't forget. He's a Chinese! ”
Bill Duffy has already begun to build momentum for Bruce Lee.
He is Yao's agent in the United States, and he feels he has valuable experience working with Chinese players. So, for Bruce Lee, he is determined to win.
However, his contenders are no slouch to be reckoned with. Rob Pelinka from SFX Sports has also shown a strong interest in Bruce Lee, whose clients include Kobe, Boozer, Margetty, Peterson and other first- and second-tier stars in the NBA.
He even said in an interview with the Los Angeles Times: "This kid was born a star, but he needs me to help him run it." I can make him the brightest and hottest star in the NBA, and he has that potential. ”
In addition, the likes of Dan Fagan, David Frank, Danny Miller... These agents didn't speak, but who wants to miss Bruce Lee?
Flight information from various airlines shows that major sports agencies and well-known agents are eager to rush to the small city of Indianapolis.
Bruce Lee, the rising superstar, is coming to the end of his junior year, and it's time to convince the kid to jump out of the ivory tower and join the glamorous Vanity Fair. However, before that, he needs a professional broker.
In fact, it's not just brokers who are getting on the bandwagon.
Sports brands are also starting to sneak into the village, and who doesn't want to get Bruce Lee? This guy's emergence has sent a seismic reaction to the NCAA basketball world, and it looks like he's going to join the NBA soon.
Think about Yao Shu, as a Chinese center, Reebok dared to open an endorsement contract of 50 million for seven years.
Although Yao Shu's hard power back then is undoubted, Bruce Lee still faces great challenges on the court. However, this star defender who was born with a topic of his own, some companies are willing to give him an endorsement contract of nearly half of the amount.
Even if he can't become a star in the NBA in the future, there is absolutely no doubt that he will become a star in the increasingly large Asian market.
So, savvy sponsors have started competing on the sly.
Meanwhile, Bruce is lying on a yoga mat at the hotel, worried about his parents' imminent arrival in Indianapolis.
He didn't know what would happen next.
Although Professor Jack Lee swore that he would surprise himself.
But this guy is so unreliable, when he was a child, he brought himself a hateful durian cake and said it was a surprise, and he threw himself into the pool in the back garden...... The most important thing is that I brought Ms. Wang Junzhu with me this time.
It's tingling to think about!
