Chapter 042: The First Move

Before the Southern Conference playoffs arrived, Javier Stanford texted Lin Yi to say that he wanted to do an exclusive interview with Lin Yi.

This interview will be posted on the teaser version of Crazy March, so Lin Yi agreed without much thought.

And he also wanted to invite Javier Stanford to a meal, after all, this "number one Lin Blow" did him a favor.

Without his crazy momentum, Lin Yi would not have gained so much attention all at once.

The NCAA has a lot of rookies coming up every year, and some scouts or journalists like to bet, like LeBron James's team, many of whom have been around him since his high school days.

Lin Yi will definitely need such a team in the future.

If he could, Javier Stanford would naturally like his position to speak for in this team.

The interview was simple and enjoyable.

Lin Yi's story is already familiar to many people, as for some of the stories behind it, it must be released little by little to be interesting, for Javier Stanford, who has been in management on NBA teams, worked as a scout, and now works as a reporter at ESPN, he knows how to publicize.

You can't just get those fans cool all at once, or you'll have no story to write afterward.

The story of an NBA star is like a long novel, and it will slowly culminate as he grows up.

"Javier, I've always wondered, why don't you go back to the NBA?" Lin Yi looked at Javier Stanford curiously.

Javier Stanford naturally knows what Lin Yi means by returning to the NBA, he has been in the management of many NBA teams before, but his career has not been brilliant and happy.

"To be honest, I interviewed the general manager of an NBA team and they agreed, but on the day the contract was signed, they told me they were sorry and they had another option. The guy who later served was said to have promised the owner of the team countless empty promises, saying that he would use his connections to build the team into a galaxy, but then he broke his promise, and he left with a huge salary after leaving a bunch of junk contracts. Javier Stanford was a little helpless.

"Let me guess, could it be a smiling assassin?" Lin Yi's eyes flickered.

Javier Stamford obviously didn't want to continue the topic that made him sad, "Let's talk about something else, I've seen your schedule, and the most important thing is the game against the Oklahoma Speedy team. ”

"Yes, the Southern Alliance is just these two teams." It's not long before I kill Godspeed, and I really have a fate with Blake Griffin, and I'm going to meet again.

"I don't want you to let up, but I want you not to be too stressed, according to the rules, I shouldn't have revealed it to you." Javier Stanford spread his hands.

"You know, sometimes you don't have to follow the rules, like I've been getting a lot of business cards and promises from the NBA these days." Lin Yi smiled, the reporter who accompanied the team of Thunder revealed more than once that if Lin Yi ran for election, Thunder would definitely choose him.

"So it's like you're "bribing" me today? Javier Stanford smiled.

"It's just a light meal, and you're going to interview me." Lin Yi didn't think so.

"Okay, listen, Lin, as an ESPN reporter, we usually have some inside information, and the news I got recently is that even if you don't win the Southern Conference championship, the judges will pick you or the Speed Team for March Madness." Javier Stanford's inside news is buzzing enough.

"Aren't they afraid of being attacked by public opinion?" Lin Yi asked curiously.

"I'm afraid they won't let you, Stephen, or the Griffin brothers go into March Madness before they're under fire." Javier Stamford paused, "You know, you and Stephen are also the top three picks in the draft right now, NBA scouts want to see you more, and fans across the country are looking forward to Davidson's school to do miracles again." ”

"It's not that the NCAA is without interest, it's just you players who don't have interest, and oh my God, do you know the ability of the NCAA finals to attract money? For the NCAA, they also need topics and attention. Javier Stanford explained to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi nodded, it seems that Javier Stanford has a big heart, he gave himself this news, and he must also hope that he will give him a promise.

The promise is that Javier Stanford will be part of his team when he enters the NBA.

Or that Lin Yi can give him some news that others will never get it.

Another example......

"I'm looking forward to working together in the NBA, I'm going to run this year, I'm not going to wait until next year." At the end of the dinner and interview, Lin Yi gave Javier Stanford a nice scoop.

At the same time, Lin Yi felt that some of his things had to be planned and arranged earlier.

As history changes due to the butterfly effect, Lin Yi does not want his fate to go into the hands of others.

Basketball is his hobby, and he himself is his best chip.

Lin Yi plans to put himself on the table, and then go and gamble with those NBA bigwigs.

If you want to bet, bet on the biggest.

Play the most exciting if you want to play.

Otherwise, wouldn't you waste your talent and advantages?

……

Lin Yi told Wildcats head coach Mike Jurgen McLop and teammate and roommate and roommate Stephen Curry about his preparation for the draft.

Although McLopp and Babyface Stephen had been prepared, after all, it was Lin Yi who officially told them the news.

"I don't want to stop you, but it's a good thing." McLop knew that if Lin Yi announced his participation in the NBA draft at this time, it would also be an incentive for the whole team, because it would mean that they would not have another chance.

Stephen Curry also spoke to McLop that this is his final season in college.

In other words, if the rest of Davidson's players want to fight for their dreams, this is the final year.

And the last year often erupts into miracles.

"Lin, if you decide to run, then you need an agent." Stephen Curry told Lin Yi.

Babyface has an agent and a team behind it, which Lin Yi has known for a long time.

Stephen wanted to pull Lin Yi into his team, but Lin Yi refused.

The reason is very simple, Lin Yi wants to form his own team.

If you want to maximize your talent and advantages, Lin Yi needs to build her own team like LeBron James.

Stephen told Lin Yi that if he wanted to hire an agent, there would be countless agents who would go crazy and apply.

Lin Yi decided to reveal the news through Javier Stanford.

He wants to finalize the matter as soon as possible, preferably before the playoffs begin in the Southern Conference.

Because Lin Yi and Stephen will wait until after March Madness is over to announce their candidacy, before that, they will only tell their teammates and those close to them.

But if Lin Yi hires an agent, it will be tantamount to giving a signal to the NBA teams who want to choose him: I am running, but it has not been announced yet.

For NBA teams, they are also afraid that the rookies they have been watching for a long time will suddenly say that I want to go back to college and play for another year, and there are no examples of such a love of reading in history.

Lin Yi needs to give those scouts in the NBA a a reassurance, which is also Lin Yi's first move.
