Chapter 210: Agent Zhang Ping
Half a month has passed since the Japan International Invitational, and Huang Xiang has spent most of his time in his room studying the history and needs of each team, and he already has four trial invitations for NBA teams in his hands at this time.
The Cleveland Cavaliers, Milwaukee Bucks, Saramento Kings, and Washington Wizards extended an olive branch to Huang Xiang almost at the same time, but because of the lack of agents, Huang Xiang has not given them an answer.
It is obviously unrealistic to deal with these NBA veterans by himself, so Huang Xiang needs to find a guy who can reassure him.
My father-in-law once introduced a few to Huang Xiang, but Huang Xiang still didn't take a fancy to it, after all, the agent will be his own money-making machine in the future, so he should be careful.
And Huang's father's opinion is that he personally went into battle and acted as an agent for Huang Xiang, and Huang Xiang could only smile at this matter.
Although Huang's father has the mind to be an agent, his foreign language level is estimated to only stay at the stage of "hello bye-bye", so Huang Xiang can only laugh and pass.
Coming out of the dormitory, I walked alone on the path of the school, which I estimated was about to leave.
The summer vacation is coming soon, and for Huang Xiang, the end of this vacation is a sign of his departure from Ocean University, and his college life will end at that time, because at that time, it is the beginning of his NBA life.
Just when Huang Xiang was listlessly wandering around, the mobile phone vibrate, and he took out a message from Hu Yunlong, with only three words on it: basketball hall.
"What's the routine?" Huang Xiang put his mobile phone in his pocket suspiciously and walked to the basketball hall.
As soon as I entered the stadium, I heard the sound of the basketball hitting the ground and the sound of the shoes rubbing against the ground.
When I walked inside, I found that all the members of the Ocean University were present, and Zhang Guijiang sat on a chair with Erlang's legs crossed, which seemed very appropriate.
"Why, why are you practicing here today?" Huang Xiang looked at everyone with a smile and said.
"Grass, you kid just came, it's not like we haven't played ball together for a long time." Ji Wufeng threw Huang Xiang a basketball and said with a smile.
After Huang Xiang received the ball, he got up and made a three-point shot, the basketball fell into the basket steadily, rolled up a net flower, and Huang Xiang's three points were still so accurate.
"Huang Xiang, come here." Zhang Guijiang waved his hand backwards, pointed to the chair beside him and smiled.
"Have you found an agent?" Zhang Guijiang looked at Huang Xiang and asked.
"No, where to find someone who really has the right appetite and strength." Huang Xiang patted his head depressedly, and went directly to be his agent when he was in a hurry.
"Hehe, I'll show you this person's information." Zhang Guijiang smiled slightly and handed a file bag to Huang Xiang.
took the information bag and opened it slowly, Zhang Ping, male, 25 years old, graduated from the American School of Economics, and worked as an agent assistant for Brown and Nate......
"Chinese, this is very important, alas, coach, are you familiar with this person?" Huang Xiang asked after reading it.
"Hehe, of course, he's my nephew, my own nephew. You can rest assured about him, I grew up watching him, as long as you want, I can let him parachute to Ocean University immediately. Zhang Guijiang said with a slight exaggeration.
It sounds good, Huang Xiang listened to Zhang Guijiang's words and nodded, and then took out the information and continued to study it. The young man is quite sven, but I don't know if he has that strength.
Having experience as an NBA agent, this one is very important, "Okay, then let him come over tomorrow." ”
"Hey, you kid, no problem." Zhang Guijiang patted Huang Xiang on the shoulder, you kid really treat me as an airborne soldier.
I still trust Zhang Guijiang and Huang Xiang very much, after all, he is his own coach, and he is also a rest teacher in basketball, he will not harm himself.
The next day, the two sides met in a café, and although it still felt weird here, Huang Xiang really couldn't find any other formal place.
The two of you look at me and I look at you, looking at each other, they all know each other's names, and they have never met, so they are a little curious about real people.
Okay, the two big men in the café on the first floor, they didn't choose anything, they just stared dryly, fortunately Huang Xiang was wearing a baseball cap and covered his wheat ears tightly, otherwise it would be really easy to be discovered.
"Hehe, you're better than I thought." Zhang Ping was the first to break the silence, he couldn't stand the eyes of the people next to him, as if the two of them were glass, and the Chinese rising star basketball player in front of him was really determined.
"Oops, I'm tired, you give it to Nate. Robinson worked as an agent? Huang Xiang looked at Zhang Ping with a smile.
"No, he was an agent assistant, and he had just graduated at that time, who could ask a graduate to be his assistant?" Zhang Ping took a sip of coffee and said.
"So you mean I'm your first official employer?" Huang Xiang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, is Zhang Guijiang, this old thing, the one who made fun of himself?
"Well, so to speak." Zhang Ping thought for a while and said.
Unconscious, Huang Xiang patted his head, he was so speechless, my God, you won't be fooling me, right?
"Why do you have such a big message?" Huang Xiang asked puzzledly, for a person with no formal agent experience, where does this confidence come from?
"Because you're Chinese, I'm Chinese, and ...... You're my uncle's favorite disciple, so I'm going to have to help you. Zhang Ping said.
"Oh, you mean you're amazing, help me? Nowadays, many agents are cheating on their boss's money, why should I trust you? After listening to Zhang Ping's words, Huang Xiang was very dissatisfied, and his tone also brought the smell of gunpowder between his words.
"Hehe, I like this character." Zhang Ping laughed when he heard Huang Xiang's words, and Huang Xiang also laughed with Zhang Ping.
After laughing, Huang Xiang and Zhang Ping's big hands were tightly clasped together, Huang Xiang didn't know that a vague decision made him not lose a penny in the future, and even in terms of contract salary with the team, he got more rewards from himself.
Many years later, a reporter once asked Huang Xiang why he chose such an agent, and Huang Xiang's answer was: Because this guy can embarrass me, his brain is stronger than mine.
Although such an answer is not easy to accept, this kind of hunger shows that sometimes it is destined and cannot be escaped.
Since he decided to let Zhang Ping be his agent, Huang Xiang was no longer polite, took Zhang Ping directly to his dormitory, and threw the trial invitations of the four teams to Zhang Ping.
"Help me choose one, I'm going to try out for them." Huang Xiang sat on Li Ming's bed and looked at Zhang Ping, and asked with a smile.
"Then will you pay me a salary this month?" Zhang Ping said jokingly that Huang Xiang would assign work to himself now.
"Damn, you have to let me make money, don't worry, your benefits are indispensable, besides, you are the nephew of Old Man Zhang, we are good buddies, don't open your mouth and shut up is money." Huang Xiang glanced at Zhang Ping, and after he was cooked, he didn't give any face at all.
After listening to Huang Xiang's words, Zhang Ping's eyes rolled, it seems that this guy is really a person who is more courageous than Tai, he is not afraid that he will not do it? Hehe, but there are really few such people.
Looking at the invitations of the four teams in his hand, Zhang Ping frowned, the records of the four teams are not very good, the Cavaliers, the bottom of the league, the Wizards, although they have introduced a lot of pitchers and rookies, but it is still not a climate, the strength of the Bucks is okay, but it is okay to be tight, as for the Kings, they have been scattered and empty, which is different from the past.
"These teams, if I were to help you choose, I would choose the Cavaliers." After Zhang Ping finished speaking, he put aside the invitations of the other three teams, looked at Huang Xiang and said.
"Why?" Huang Xiang sat up straight after hearing this, and asked suspiciously.
"You see, in contrast, the Kings and Cavaliers are teams that need to be rebuilt, while the Wizards and Bucks have their own core guards, and they don't need an outside core anymore, so even though they have a good pick, let's not consider them. Secondly, although the Cavaliers finished at the bottom last year, don't underestimate their lineup. Bearded Baron Davis, I don't think I need to introduce much of this guy's strength, point guard don't worry, you can rest assured that you can cross in the second and third positions, and secondly, their other players, Vallejo is a very good defensive point, Jamison, a former All-Star, is also a good help, what they need is a new all-round newcomer, to help them get through the difficulties, obviously, you are such a candidate. The reason the Kings ruled out was that they had Evans, who wasn't very good-tempered, and that Saramento really wasn't for you, and it was too funny there. Zhang Ping analyzed back and forth, and Huang Xiang was confused, but it sounded quite reasonable.
Cavaliers, isn't that the team that was thrown up by LeBron, hehe, go there yourself, Amen, it's too good for now, but, okay, go give it a try.
"Okay, get back to them, I'm going to try out with them." Huang Xiang patted Zhang Ping's shoulder and said.
"Well, that...... Boss, is the phone bill reimbursed? Zhang Ping asked with a smile.
"Bookkeeping. By the way, it says that if I go to the knight tryout, they will waive all the expenses in it, so don't worry. Huang Xiang suddenly smiled and looked at Zhang Ping, he didn't have to worry about money.
On June 2, Huang Xiang and Zhang Ping, two people, boarded a plane to the United States and flew directly to Cleveland, which was their first stop.
The reason why it is said to be the first stop, after the Cavaliers, Huang Xiang has to go to the Kings for a trial, although Zhang Ping said that they are not good, but Huang Xiang needs to leave a way back for himself.
(I'm about to enter a wonderful NBA career, so everyone has a lot of support.) )
