Chapter 42 Names

Li Liang woke up the next day and found that Zhu Shu was no longer in bed and there was no one in the room.

"Damn, it's ruthless... No, I didn't do anything last night. ”

As soon as he woke up, Li Liang was a little dazed, and then saw a note on the bedside table:

Li Liang, I signed up for an agent training course in Los Angeles, went to class today, and will come back in the evening. Breakfast was booked at the front desk and you will be brought it to you when you call. There is a basketball hall nearby, and the address I wrote on the back. The rent has already been paid and you can go straight to the training. Try out the day after tomorrow, don't practice too hard, relax.

Zhu Shu's handwriting is delicate and neat, it turns out that she has arranged things properly.

Although NBA agents can do it by relying on relationships, they still need qualifications to get on the job.

You need to be trained, assessed and registered with the local sports management department in order to successfully become a sports agent.

Of course, this training and assessment is not very difficult, but some states require agents to have a legal professional background and even a lawyer's license.

Fortunately, Zhu Shu minored in law at Kenda and has a law degree.

Moreover, the broker registration requirements in California are relatively relaxed, and with Zhu Shu's IQ, there will be no problem if you want to pass.

"It's really nice to have the feeling of being an agent."

Li Liangxin felt more and more that it was a perfect decision to let Zhu Shu be his agent.

According to Zhu Shu's arrangement, Li Liang had breakfast, took a shower, cleaned up and prepared to go to the nearby stadium for training.

The trial is scheduled for the 24th, which is the day after tomorrow.

Two days before the trial, Li Liang had to adjust his condition and strive for the best performance.

He knew that his tryout was different from other rookies.

For other rookies, tryouts are an opportunity for the team to get to know them better.

In addition to tryouts, their performance on the NCAA court is also key to whether the team selects them.

Li Liang is different, he does not have NCAA performance, so the tryout is the only way for the team to know him.

Therefore, in this trial, if the Lakers really have the intention of examining him, they will definitely be very well prepared.

It's not going to be as simple as letting him run two switchbacks, shoot a few baskets, dribble a few times and it'll be over.

Of course, Li Liang has confidence in himself, no matter what kind of test the Lakers give him, he can overcome it!

"Knock knock."

When Li Liang was about to leave, there was a knock on the door.

"Li Liang! You're not there! Li Liang! ”

It was Wei Dazhi's voice, and Li Liang was looking for him.

As soon as the door opened, Wei Dazhi saw Li Liang and hurriedly said, "Damn, I left the wrong room card yesterday!" ”。

Li Liangdao: "Mistaken? You TM almost made me make a mistake! ”

Wei Dazhi said: "Huh? Didn't something happen last night? I thought maybe I had done something good. ”

Li Liang said: "No, what do you think of me, can I take advantage of others?" In vain we have been friends for so long, and we don't know my integrity as a human being. ”

Wei Dazhi said: "Cut, I still don't know you?" Since you haven't done anything, why did you let Zhu Shu be your agent? ”

"You know!" Li Liang took a sip of Wei Dazhi, "Don't talk about this, you don't have to mix up the matter between me and Zhu Shu, she will be my agent in the future." By the way, did you get your press card? ”

"Got it, that West helped me get a spot as a reporter within the Lakers, and of course, a temporary worker. When will the news of your trial be released? ”

The two sat down to talk about business, Li Liang had instructed Wei Dazhi before not to reveal the news of his trial.

Find the right time to get the trial news and content out there, but ahead of other sources.

"The day after tomorrow trial, you send the news out tomorrow. Today you can do an interview with me, and then write a press release on Twitter and Instagram. ”

NBA news is always pervasive, and the power of the media is beyond most people's imagination.

Li Liang has already decided that from the very beginning, he must take the weapon of public opinion into his own hands.

"Will anyone notice?" Wei Dazhi asked.

"No, it won't. But this first article is important because from now on, you are the only reliable source of information about Bruce Lee. ”

Li Liang patted Wei Dazhi on the shoulder, and Wei Dazhi had already begun to imagine the picture of his future towards the peak of his life.

Li Liang suddenly asked, "Where did you go last night?" Zhu Shu said you went on a date? ”

"Uh... This, this, I happened to meet a friend in Los Angeles, and I happened to come over, so I went to accompany him... Drank two glasses, and... Well, this, anyway..."

Wei Dazhi looked like he was struggling, and Li Liang knew that there must be a problem.

But Li Liang doesn't bother to care about his, young man, who hasn't had any romantic affairs.

Since Wei Dazhi was back, he took him to the training hall arranged by Zhu Shu, which was in a fitness center in Inglewood.

The fitness center is well equipped, with a strength training room, a spa room, and a basketball court.

Of course, the price is not cheap, but Ryan West paid for the tryout for Li Liang.

In the training hall, Wei Dazhi took out his camera and took some photos of Li Liang's shooting training and strength exercises.

Then he took out a voice recorder and interviewed Li Liang decently.

Wei asked some simple questions about tryouts, about the Lakers, about the prospects for the NBA.

Li Liang's answer is also decent, anyway, he doesn't want to make a big news for the time being, it doesn't make sense.

He just wanted to spread the word and let some people know that there was such a thing.

When he is actually drafted in the draft, the news will be valuable.

The training and interviews lasted for two hours, after which the two left the fitness center.

Wei Dazhi looked at the photos in the digital camera as he walked, and he wanted to select a few good ones, and then post them on the Internet with text.

"Hey Li Liang, I think I should open a special feature on social media for this trial of yours and introduce your trial and draft journey from the beginning." Wei Dazhi put forward his idea.

Li Liang said: "There's no need, just do some simple interviews and spread the news, and you have to accumulate it slowly." ”

Wei Dazhi shook his head and said, "No, no, no, I have a strong premonition now that you will definitely be able to play in the NBA in the future." When the time comes, the topics I do will be valuable...... No, it's not a feature, it's a documentary! ”

Wei Dazhi's idea went from a report at the beginning to a special topic, and it was quickly upgraded to a documentary.

Li Liang smiled: "You have it, you, it's still a documentary, is it so exaggerated?" Will you shoot? ”

"Yes! How could I not, I also joined the film club at Kenda. I'll use the digital camera in my hand to take pictures of your situation before, during, after, before the draft, during the draft, and after the draft! When the time comes, it will be edited into a documentary. The story of a Chinese student who started from scratch and grew into an NBA player. Or, the current situation of basketball marginals in American society, Chinese players struggling to survive in the NBA...... Haha~ Maybe I can get a Pulitzer. ”

Wei Dazhi fell into a fantasy again, Li Liang shook his head, and said, "Whatever you want, shoot as much as you like, anyway, just send me the news of the trial." Remember, this is your first NBA message, cherish it. ”

"Understood! You entered the NBA, I became an NBA celebrity, and we both created a great business together! ”

"Forget it, I don't want to have a great career with a famous prostitute."
