Chapter 311: Little Fish
When he got home at night, Li Liang entered the room and fell asleep.
Zhu Shuren is still in New York, and no one makes him supper, bitter!
Bai Xiaoting was also absent, she went to Santa Monica Beach to participate in a fashion evening show.
Only Wei Dazhi came back with Li Liang, and asked questions along the way, but Li Liang didn't want to say anything.
After returning to the room and falling asleep, Li Liang entered the system to check the rewards obtained after completing the task.
[Special item, Key to the Space Library: A key that opens the door.] 】
"Gone?"
"I'm falling!"
Li Liang felt that the day was over, why did the prizes given for two consecutive tasks be such inexplicable things?
There are no features, it's like an easter egg in a game.
"Easter eggs? Could it have something to do with the City of Angels book? ”
Li Liangxin thought so in his heart, and took the key over and looked at it.
This is a typical prop key, made of brass, with a ring and a few teeth.
Li Liang thought, this is the key to the "space library", it's too simple, right?
The space library also needs to be unlocked with a fingerprint, and the iris is unlocked.
This system is too careless.
Li Liang picked up the key, took out the City of Angels book again, and pounded it up and down left and right.
Gave up.
This key doesn't match the book, so there's nowhere to insert it.
And that pin, Li Liang really doesn't know what these broken things are for.
I can only leave everything in the system exchange center to eat ashes, and I don't know when it will work.
Maybe a year, maybe two years, maybe three years?
I don't know.
……
While the Eastern and Western Conference Finals are in full swing, the NBA's plans for the future are already in full swing.
Just like last year, the teams in the playoffs fought hard and the other teams focused on the draft.
On May 22, the draw for the 2013 NBA Draft was held in New York.
As a result, the rotten Cleveland Cavaliers drew the top pick for the second time in three consecutive years!
Among the 30 teams in the NBA, teams such as the Nuggets and Pacers have never received the top pick, and you have actually been two times in three years, which makes people embarrassed.
can only say that the team is too bad, and unknowingly took a champion sign.
Like the Pacers and Nuggets, although they have not won the key, they rarely play badly, and they can always complete the rebuilding quickly, and the chances of getting the top pick are greatly reduced.
However, this year is widely considered to be a draft year, and there are no talent players in the limelight.
As far as the Cavaliers' draft level is concerned, the answer can only be copied correctly by writing the answer next to the question, and this year's draft is a bit difficult for them.
I don't know what choice they will make.
Compared to the draft, which didn't have any explosions, this summer's free agency market was just as lackluster.
Two of the biggest fish in free agency, Dwight Howard and Chris Paul, will choose to stay on if nothing else.
In addition to the two of them, the most valuable is Iguodala of the Nuggets.
The Nuggets had the best record in history this year, but they were eliminated in the first round, and the team is sure to go through a blood change.
Iguodala's stay is a big question mark.
But in addition to these so-called "big fish", there is also a "small fish" that is particularly eye-catching.
That is Li Liang.
This time, Zhu Shu left Los Angeles and came to New York to participate in the lottery ceremony for the draft pick, on the one hand, he wanted to take the opportunity to contact new players, and the other reason was to get in touch with the free market for Li Liang in advance.
Of course, the playoffs are still underway, the free agency market is still early, and no team can make private contact with players.
But the rules are the rules, and everyone knows that you simply don't get the free agent you want without private contact.
By the time you think about fair play and the free market is open to recruit players, people are already in charge.
Besides, since you can't contact the player himself, it's always okay to contact the player's agent and his friends.
Therefore, after Zhu Shu came to New York, she immediately received a lot of invitations and hospitality.
She is a girl in her 20s and a Chinese American, and she has been sought after so much for the first time.
Tickets to an opera on Broadway, a celebrity party at Philippe Chow's restaurant, a ball game for the New York Yankees.
Anyway, Zhu Shu will be invited to all kinds of high-grade activities in New York.
There are big brokerage companies, businessman bosses, and NBA celebrities who invite her.
Moreover, when she was invited, Zhu Shu didn't know which team they represented at all, only that they must be for Li Liang.
Zhu Shu used to live in New York, near the lowest floor, in a rental house.
In just one year, she was already in touch with upper-middle-class New Yorkers.
But her mind is calm, and she knows what the reason for all this is happening.
It's not because of her young beauty, nor because of her down-to-earth ability, just because she represents Li Liang.
On the night of the second game between the Lakers and the Thunder, Zhu Shu attended an agent party hosted by CAA.
CAA is the largest brokerage company in the United States, and in recent years has begun to explore the field of sports agents.
They once had a group of league superstars led by LeBron James, who are rumored to have single-handedly contributed to James' decision in 201011.
However, in the summer of '12, James decided to terminate his contract with CAA and found his friend Rich Paul as his agent.
This is a big loss for CAA, but it doesn't hurt the bones.
They organize meetups in New York for brokers to meet each other and share information about the industry.
Some of them are owned by CAA, some are from other companies, and some are independent brokers.
For CAA, every non-CAA broker is worth tackling.
Zhu Shu knew the purpose of CAA's invitation to her, but she still came over, she was learning more and watching more, and through continuous contact with this circle, she learned about the ecology and situation of this circle.
In the past year, her progress has not been smaller than Li Liang's, but she has been dormant by Li Liang's side.
After all, she has only one purpose in doing things, for Li Liang, so that he can have a better career development.
Zhu Shu thinks that if the goal of being a person and doing things is simple and clear, life will be more enjoyable.
There were a lot of famous agents present, and because of the gathering in the sports circle, everyone dressed relatively casually.
There is no need for suits and leather shoes, high-heeled dresses, and the venue is also open-air.
A large screen was also erected in the center of the court to broadcast the Lakers and Thunder game live.
In the fourth quarter of the game, everyone knew that there was no suspense about the outcome of the game.
Li Liang brushed a few points at the last moment to score twenty points.
Zhu Shu shook his head, Li Liang just likes to score points at the last moment, and he can't change it in the playoffs.
After the live broadcast, Zhu Shu walked around casually, and her promoter, Debbie Spend, was also invited to the party.
The two chatted over a drink together.
Spander asked Zhu Shu if there were many teams that contacted her privately to find out about Li Liang's movements in the summer.
Zhu Shu nodded, but didn't say much.
Spendo asked, "So will he jump out of his contract in the summer?" ”
Zhu Shu just smiled and shook her head, but didn't speak.
Span smiled, "You're really loyal to your clients, but now everyone pretty much knows that Bruce Lee is going to jump out of the contract." Before the playoffs, Kupchak had approached Bruce Lee about a contract, but Lee refused. You know, there's no secret in Los Angeles, everybody will know it. ”
Zhu Shu nodded, but she still didn't express her opinion, and she always remained silent about Li Liang's whereabouts in the summer.
Anyone asked her for information, and she was silent.
This is where Zhu Shu makes many Americans feel the most difficult, and the tenacity and stubbornness that belong to Chinese in her body make Americans who are open by nature feel very uncomfortable and terrible.
Spander understood Zhu Shu's character and didn't say much.
She digressed the topic and said, "As a broker, you are really good to your clients, but do you want to be his agent all the time?" ”
Zhu Shu was calmly silent about the previous question, this question was different, and it made her feel at a loss.
After a few explanations, I didn't know what I was talking about.
Span De laughed, and when he saw Zhu Shu like this, he felt that this was still a child.
After a while, Spander pulled out his phone and looked at it, swiping Twitter and Instagram.
For brokers, any movement is to be kept on top of it.
Spendo said: "Oh, your Bruce Lee is starting to talk nonsense again, before he said that losing made Kobe eat basketball, and this time he said that the Thunder couldn't win against the Lakers because they were ugly...... Hehehe, you really should take care of him, you have the ability, don't you? ”
Zhu Shu also took out her mobile phone and looked at it, and when she saw Li Liang in the post-game interview, she laughed out loud.
Then he nodded and said, "Well, I have." ”
