Chapter 69: Draft Promises
These factors include his table on the court, including his body measurements, including his training table. But most importantly, it was the overwhelming coverage of the American media, which directly influenced the decisions of almost all general manager offices across the league. Everyone began to add a name to the potential selection of the object called Chichi.
Pre-draft exposure is undoubtedly crucial for the candidates. And now, Xiao Sa has got a bigger page than Michael Besley Derick Rose, and with this kind of attention, it is difficult for Xiao Sa not to be handed a business card.
Moreover, after a detailed investigation, those managers found that Xiao Shi is indeed a rare talent. In terms of some of the traits he exhibits, he's good enough to survive in the NBA. At the very least, he can be a solid figure in the locker room, and at least he can hit any three-pointer when he is open. At least, his physique is the best, if not one of the rookies, of this year. And most importantly, this guy has only been learning basketball for three months. After reaching this milestone in three months, who knows what he will be in three years?
No one can predict the future, but almost every general manager is willing to bet on a gloomy future.
It's just that the bets they make are big and small. Some are willing to bet with No. 50, some are willing to bet with No. 40, some are willing to use No. 30, and some are willing to use No. 24. But basically no one will come up with a lotto show, because all the newcomers who can enter the lotto show are newcomers who have proven their potential, and they are used to gamble and be a bit violent.
Throughout the morning, the dashing training was interrupted.
He thought about it, if he continued like this, the quality of training would definitely not be high.
So, he finished lunch in the gym and headed back. He's going to find Barbara, and she's supposed to take care of these things, because she's his agent, after all. It's a broker's job!
Xiao Sa just walked out of the training hall, Li Chenglong, who had been stationed next to him for a long time, immediately rushed up, he grabbed Xiao Saga's hand tightly as soon as he rushed up, and said very excitedly: "Finally waiting for you, Xiao Sa." ”
Xiao Sao was suddenly grasped, and subconsciously wanted to pull away, but found that his right hand had been tightly clamped. He took a sideways look and found that it was Li Chenglong, a neurotic, and subconsciously panicked, after all, the image of a neurotic murderer is not illegal is still deeply rooted in his mind.
"What do you want to do? What do you want? Xiao Sao asked loudly as he stepped back.
Li Chenglong did not relax his hand at all, in his opinion, chic is the key to his life, how can he let go, how can he let the cooked duck fly?
"I just want to interview you, I want to be friends with you." Li Chenglong couldn't wait to say.
"Want to be friends with me?" Xiao Shi frowned, thinking about becoming friends with this neurotic, and quickly shuddered: "You let go first." ”
Li Chenglong has had too many unsatisfactory days, and now he has finally ushered in a turning point, and he can't care about any discipline, so he bargained like a child: "No, you agree first." ”
Seeing that this person was entangled, Xiao Sa could only nod helplessly, and said nothingly: "Okay, I promise you." ”
"Pull the hook!" Li Chenglong hurriedly let go of a hand and cocked his little thumb out.
Seeing this, Xiao Sa was angry and funny, and he slandered in his heart, and it was really a neurosis.
But there is no way, I can only hook the little finger and hook it with one.
"Hanging on the hook will not change for a hundred years." Li Chenglong made a solemn oath, and then slowly let go of his chic hand.
After Xiao Sa regained his freedom, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, he was about to leave, Li Chenglong hurriedly said: "Let's go, Xiao Sa, let's go to the café over there to talk." ”
"Talk? What to talk about? Xiao Xiao subconsciously was a little vigilant.
"Take a few pictures and do an interview." Li Chenglong raised the camera in his hand and said with a smile.
"Okay." Xiao shook his head helplessly, and followed him to the familiar café. After taking a few photos, I sat down again. Before Xiao Sao could speak, Li Chenglong had already gushed out: "You are really the great savior in my life, no, you are my nobleman." Before I met you, I was a completely unpopular journalist and was about to be fired. However, your birth saved me, and my editor-in-chief not only gave me a salary increase, but he also said that as long as I could follow the report closely, every cost would be reimbursed by the headquarters......"
When Xiao Sa heard the last words, he quickly found the key word: "A qiē expense is reimbursed by your headquarters?" ”
"Of course, it's their responsibility."
"Does that include mine?" Xiao asked with concern, the temptation of reimbursement had allowed him to overcome his fear of neurotics. And when he heard Li Chenglong talk like this just now, he began to think that Li Chenglong might not be a neurotic, maybe he saw him twice, and his feelings rose and fell too quickly, so he exposed his neurotic attributes.
"Of course." Li Chenglong nodded hurriedly: "It's our magazine's honor to be able to pay for you." ”
"Okay, I agree, you can follow my news." Xiao Sao hurriedly agreed, and there was almost no psychological struggle. When it comes to money, chic has always been a style that can be saved.
Li Chenglong was very stunned when he heard this: "You agreed, did you agree with my personal report??" ”
"Yes, before I joined the NBA, you were able to follow the whole story. If you can, I'll take you anywhere. Xiao said with certainty.
"Oh, that's great, that's great!" Li Chenglong clenched his fist and waved it fiercely, he was excited as if he was a maniac.
But now Xiao Dash was clearly used to his nervous seizures.
"Okay, let's get into the interview. Is there any update on your draft? After Li Chenglong was excited, he finally remembered his own job.
Xiao Xiao didn't bother to say more to him, and directly threw out the seven business cards in his pocket: "Hey, this is what I got all morning." These are the team managers who came to give me a tryout invitation. This news is absolutely exclusive, right? ”
"Absolutely! Absolute! Li Chenglong rubbed his hands excitedly.
Xiao Sao cocked Erlang's legs, took out his mobile phone, and dialed Barbara's mobile phone: "Hey, where are you, I need you to come over and deal with the problem." I've got tryouts for a couple of teams right now, well, I'm in the café next to the training gym. ”
Xiao Shi finished the phone call and reached out to order another dessert. Anyway, Li Chenglong pays the bill, if you don't eat for nothing, who won't eat for nothing?
After a while, Barbara came at a gallop, she was still wearing the same leather jacket and leather pants, but she didn't wear black lipstick anymore, and she looked normal.
As soon as she came over, she sat opposite Xiao Sage, glanced at Li Chenglong, and then asked Xiao Sage: "Which teams?" ”
Xiao Shi shoved the business card on the table into Barbara's hand, but did not speak.
Barbara gave a casual look: "Did they make a promise?" ”
"Nope." Xiao shook his head.
"Then reject them all." Barbara casually tore up all the business cards and threw them in the trash, very neatly and neatly, without any hesitation.
Xiao Sa was a little surprised when he saw this. And Li Chenglong on the side had already shouted: "Hey, how can you do this? This is a tryout opportunity, did you know that rejecting these opportunities is likely to lead to Xiao Shi not getting into the NBA? ”
"I'm his agent and it's my responsibility to pick out the best option for him. Who are you? Barbara raised her eyebrows and said condescendingly.
"I... I... I'm his personal correspondent!! Li Chenglong replied with little confidence. He didn't expect that the cold girl in front of him turned out to be a dashing agent, the agent's authority is very great, as a reporter, it is better not to offend the agent.
"What's going on?" When Barbara heard this, she immediately turned around, and she looked at Xiao Shi very dissatisfied: "How can you keep a reporter by your side?" It's a critical time for your sprint draft pick, what if some important news leaks out to him? That's the bomb that really affects the draft. Hurry up and clear it! ”
"It's... This... He won't. Xiao glanced at Li Chenglong.
Li Chenglong hurriedly answered: "Yes, yes, I definitely won't leak it, I only report some unimportant news." And I feel like you need a reporter who properly leaks some important news, and I can do anything for you, after all, Chick is my friend. ”
Barbara frowned. She was a little hesitant, reporters are indeed a double-edged sword, there are advantages and disadvantages for themselves. "He's really your friend."
"Well, yes, of course, we're friends." Li Chenglong hurriedly said.
Xiao Shao also nodded.
He felt that Mr. Lee might be trustworthy.
"Well, you'll release the news tomorrow that Xiao Swan has got the draft promise. And it's a promise at the end of the first round. Barbara instructed without hesitation.
"Huh?" Xiao Sao and Li Chenglong exclaimed at the same time.
Behind the dashing exclamation is: How do you know? I don't seem to have told you what the Thunder promised me, did I?
And Li Chenglong's exclamation was: Hey, you are playing with fire. Although Xiao Dash is red now, if no one follows up, wouldn't it be just the end of the game?
"Strange what? This is a normal strategy. It's gambling. According to my professional analysis, with Xiao's current momentum, the top ten in the second round of the show are at most. But if we go out and say he got a first-round guarantee. It will definitely make some of the teams that care about him cautious, and they may follow up with the pick. As soon as they follow up on the picks, we win. ”
Barbara analyzed this and paused slightly. Then he continued: "That's why I tore off my business card and refused the tryout, which will give everyone a sense of confidence, which will make people believe that Xiao did get the promise, so he will dismiss the tryout opportunity." ”
"But what if no one picks in the first round?" Li Chenglong asked worriedly.
"If nobody picks him in the first round, somebody will draft him in the second round. And everyone will feel that they have found a treasure, because after our hype, Xiao Sao has become a player with first-round strength. Barbara shrugged her shoulders and said confidently, "So, how can we not lose this matter." ”
"Huh!" Li Chenglong nodded understandingly.
Xiao Xiao was a little confused, and finally he said: "Okay, I did get the first round guarantee!" ”
What the?
Barbara and Lee Sung-ryong both screamed out!!
