Li Tian does have a lot of shortcomings, but what he showed is enough to interest the league's teams, a player with excellent off-ball running skills, consistent outside shooting ability, and very good defensive ability, which is what many teams need.

Although Li Tian didn't stand out too much in the summer league, several teams also noticed him because they played against the Kings. This includes the Rockets and Celtics, and of course the Kings know best, and their management is further studying the scouting reports sent back by scouts before deciding whether to make an offer for Li Tian.

So for Li Tian, how to turn these concerns into a real offer contract is a top priority, and such a thing is obviously more professional for the broker to do.

Li Tian carefully looked at the list of registered agents obtained from the players' union, and driven by curiosity, Li Tian specially asked for Pete Smith's information.

After careful comparison, Li Tian found that the information that Pete Smith said was not wrong, including his experience as a general manager of three failures.

Holding the list of agents, Li Tian carefully circled the intended candidates, but Li Tian was also not very familiar with these agents, so he couldn't directly determine them for a while.

Feeling a little hungry, Li Tian did not choose to eat at the hotel, but walked across a street to a pizzeria after leaving the hotel. He found this pizzeria two days ago and it tasted pretty good.

The pizza shop is not big, but the business is very good, after Li Tian entered, there were many people sitting inside, and ordered a pizza that he usually likes to eat, and Li Tian sat down in a corner.

Before the pizza arrived, Li Tian suddenly noticed a familiar figure walking into the pizza shop.

Seeing Pete Smith, Li Tian's first reaction was that the other party was looking for him, but he soon realized that he was wrong, Pete Smith went directly to order, and he seemed to be familiar with the owner of this pizza restaurant.

"Hi, Pete, you're here."

"Well, a pizza, it tastes the same." Pete Smith replied, his voice a little hoarse, but fortunately the store was not big and quiet, and Li Tian could hear it clearly.

However, the corner where Li Tian was sitting happened to be blocked by a potted plant, and if Pete Smith was not careful, he would not be able to see Li Tian for a while.

"Pete, did you buy it for your son again?" The owner of the pizza shop asked, maybe Pete Smith nodded, but Li Tian didn't see it, and only guessed through the pizza shop owner's next words.

"Why don't you get yourself one, it's your favorite flavor, and you've used to eat one every other day at most."

"No, thank you." Pete Smith refused.

The voice of the pizzeria owner came out again, saying, "Pete, I'll give you one, don't get me wrong, this is just a gift for your continued support." ”

"No, thank you!" Again, Pete Smith's voice was still hoarse, but he was quick to refuse.

"Alright then!" The pizzeria owner said in a somewhat helpless tone, and after a while, "Pete, your pizza is ready." ”

"Thank you!" Pete Smith finished speaking, and immediately after, his figure appeared in Li Tian's line of sight again, this time, he was walking towards the door.

I don't know if it's Li Tian's delusion, he suddenly found that this Pete Smith was a little different from what he had seen before, and his steps were unusually heavy, as if he was pressed by something.

Li Tian quietly watched Pete Smith's departure, and in just a few minutes, he learned a lot of information.

"Boss, can you talk to Pete about it? It's the guy who just came to you to buy a pizza, Pete Smith. ”

Taking advantage of the time when the boss served pizza to him, Li Tian took the initiative to ask.

"Oh? You want to get to know Pete, huh...... Pete is a very talented guy who once gave me an idea for my pizzeria, and this idea has kept me doing very well for a few years. However, it seems that he is not favored by Lady Luck and has always been unable to use his talents, which is a pity. ”

"He loves to eat pizza here, but since his job wasn't going well, he only bought one pizza at a time, and it was for his son. I wanted to thank him for the idea he gave me, but he never accepted it, even if it was just a pizza, and he had his pride, even though he seemed very lonely now. ”

"I'm sorry, sir, for talking to you so much." The owner of the pizza shop seemed to find that he had sighed too much, and quickly said with apologies.

Li Tian shook his head to indicate that it was okay, and said, "It's okay, I need to thank you." ”

The pizza shop owner left, and Li Tian suddenly understood why Pete Smith seemed so presumptuous to find him.

Li Tian kept thinking about the scene of meeting Pete Smith in his mind, and he did not shy away from his past failures and was full of confidence, saying that he would help him get a formal contract, refuse the gift of the pizza shop owner, and finally leave the pizza shop.

"Pete Smith." Li Tian read the name softly.

Instead of continuing to sit in the shop, he picked up his pizza and walked out of the pizzeria, looking at the crowd surging on the street, Li Tian quickly chased in the direction that Pete Smith had just left.

Walking briskly forward, Li Tian didn't catch up with Pete Smith, and just as he was about to go back to the hotel, he saw a back that looked like Pete Smith on the fork on the right.

"Pete! Pete Smith! Li Tian shouted as he walked towards the road.

Li Tian's eyes were not wrong, the figure in front of him stopped and turned around, it was Pete Smith, and he was somewhat surprised to see that it was Li Tian Pete Smith.

"Lee? What a coincidence. ”

Seeing that it was really Pete Smith, Li Tian shrugged his shoulders and said, "Fortunately, I didn't call the wrong person, well, we meet every day these days, so we shouldn't be surprised." ”

After hearing what Li Tian said, Pete Smith said to Li Tian apologetically: "Sorry, Li, I have bothered you during this time, and I apologize for my behavior." But don't worry, I'm leaving the city soon and won't bother you again. ”

"You're leaving the city?" Li Tian asked with some surprise.

"Yes, I need to go to another city to find a job, so, goodbye, Lee, I apologize again for the interruption I brought you."

As he spoke, Pete Smith was about to turn around and leave, and Li Tian hurriedly shouted, "Pete, wait!" ”

"Lee, what's wrong?" Pete Smith looked at Li Tian with some confusion.

"Pete, want a job?" Li Tian said to the puzzled Pete Smith, "Be my agent." ”

Li Tian said his true intentions, making such a decision Li Tian was not a whim, a capable and arrogant frustrated agent, Li Tian believes that if the other party is given a chance, Pete Smith will be better than ordinary agents in terms of work enthusiasm and hard work.

The confusion on Pete Smith's face turned into surprise, his eyes stared at Li Tian tightly, and he asked urgently, "You mean, let me be your agent?" ”

"Yes, I need an agent, I am touched by your sincerity, and I am sure that you will do well. Of course, the job isn't too good as it stands. ”

Li Tian nodded and smiled at Pete Smith.

Pete Smith's eyes turned, and after seeing the pizza in Li Tian's hand, he quickly guessed that Li Tian had just seen him in the pizza shop, raised his head to look at Li Tian, and asked lightly, "Is this sympathy?" ”

"Nope." Li Tian shook his head, "It's just to give someone who has never met a chance, and besides, I need a hard-working agent, I think you will be that person." So, do it? ”

Looking at Li Tian, Pete Smith was silent for a few seconds, his lips opened, and he replied in a slightly trembling voice: "Do!" ”
