029: Stepping stone to the international market

At the end of the game, the score on the spot silenced the UConn fans.

47-87, the University of Connecticut, the runner-up of the Great Eastern Conference last season, was actually abused by Georgetown by 40 points!

I thought that it would be outrageous enough for Georgetown to win the defending champions by 31 points in the last game.

I didn't expect it to be outrageous today, and I opened the door to the outrageous and outrageous directly!

Throughout the second half, because Chris. Smith is completely locked up by Shay.

So UConn didn't play any effective offense at all.

Burrell?

He had already been autified by Shay in the first half, so the second half was even more muddy than a womanizer.

Shay single-handedly locked the two cores of the Huskies.

Of course, Smith also has a reason to say it.

I scored 13 points against Shay in this game, and Owens was only one point higher than me in the last game against Shay......

Rounding it off, I'm on the same level as the top three in the draft!

The 40-point margin plus locking Chris. Smith's performance allowed Shay to gain a lot of game experience.

If you continue to fight like this, I'm afraid it won't take four months to have another wave of five consecutive draws!

At this time, Shay noticed that countless female students were calling their names by the side of the stands.

Some even held hot bras in their hands and asked Shay to sign them.

Should I say it or not, Shay's body is still very good-looking, and it's normal to attract female fans.

Shay complained viciously in his heart, this rice grain girl is too self-respecting!

Then he grinned and prepared to walk over.

I just love it!

What could they do wrong? It's just that he wants to be injected with patriotic genes by Shay.

As a result, in the next second, a group of reporters with long guns and short cannons appeared in front of Shay, blocking his way.

"Shay, will you be in next year's NBA Draft!?"

"You didn't let Smith score a point in the second half today, do you think you can defend against NBA-caliber players?"

"If you really become the first Chinese to officially land in the NBA, what impact will this have on Chinese basketball?"

Shay himself was stunned, although he was also interviewed by reporters in the last game, there were not so many reporters who interviewed him.

But today, in addition to Mutombo, the most popular on the entire stadium is Shay.

Well, Mourning's daily intra-team status is -1.

Last season, he was the team's most sought-after star player besides Mutombo.

As a result, no one cared about it this year.

It's really a new generation that beats the old.

It turns out that everyone loves to drink new tea.

Shay was flattered to answer the reporters' questions one by one, but Shay did not give a clear answer about whether he would participate in the draft.

Shay definitely wants to be in the draft, unless he has a bag in his head to continue to spend in the NCA.

The NCAA claims to be the most unconscionable basketball stage in the world, but in Shay's opinion, it's actually the most unconscionable league.

Because the NCAA itself makes a lot of money, and it doesn't have to give a penny to the players.

The purpose of the university is not just to train athletes, but to keep them to earn money. Even if the knee is scrapped and the ligament is torn, it doesn't matter, it is always the player who suffers.

Whenever a player wants to enter the professional game early, many people will advise you to "finish college", "hone your skills before going to the NBA", and "don't rush it".

However, these are just excuses to squeeze the players.

Meet John. It's okay for a coach like Thompson who can really develop you, but when you meet the kind of coach who just wants you to stay as a cash cow, you just wait to be crushed to death.

For this kind of league without conscience, Shay naturally doesn't want to stay longer.

But the draft has to be considered in the long run.

As a result, Shay did not explicitly answer whether he would participate in the draft.

And the last question of the journalists is very interesting:

"Shay, winning by 40 points today, is it still a small victory for you?"

The reporters all smiled, and in the last game, Shay said that he beat his opponent by 31 points, which was criticized by many people as arrogant.

As a result, today, Shay told Quan Chou with a 40-point victory, and 31 points is indeed just a small victory.

So, a reporter used this meme to ask Shay if 40 points was also a small victory.

Shay also smiled: "I won 40 points today, I can only say that we played very ordinary~ In the next game, we should be able to perform better." ”

This time, it is estimated that no one will criticize Shay for his arrogance anymore.

Because he has proven that he is not arrogant, but does have the capital to abuse his opponents!

As soon as this game was over, Shay moved up a few spots on the latest draft prediction list, basically holding on to the first round.

In other words, as long as Shay announces his participation in the draft, he will be selected 100 percent.

A sporadic high school student who rushed to the first round of the draft rankings in just two games.

This even made then-NBA commissioner David . Stern noticed Shay.

Mr. Stern, who had only been to China last year, waited for hours in the CCTV booth to deliver a free tape and a free broadcast of the event.

Its purpose is to pry open the Chinese market.

Stern believes that the ugly market alone is not enough for the NBA to make enough money.

Therefore, it is urgent to open up the international market.

To that end, Stern has made a lot of efforts.

No, he's built a dream team of NBA players to play in Barcelona next year.

Officially invade the FIBA world and promote NBA stars to the world.

Waiting hours in the cold spring of Beijing to give away free video and broadcast rights is just one part of Stern's efforts to bring the NBA to the world.

But it's clear that the N.B.A. wants to reach China's billion-plus market, and it can't just rely on free game tapes.

He needed a stepping stone.

Seeing Shay, Stern felt like he had found this stepping stone!

If you can have a Chinese play in the NBA and make a name for yourself......

The little Jewish old man smiled, and he decided to pour some more oil on Shay, who was already on fire!

So, the day after the game, Shay was watching TV in the dormitory with Mourning and Mutombo.

Shay found himself on an NBA show in NBC primetime for the first time!

In this show, after the host chatted about the recent games, he talked about the NCAA newcomers who are worth paying attention to this year.

Shay has only played two games, so in this era of closed news, his popularity is actually very average.

But he never expected that this show would actually talk about himself.

"Georgetown University is now producing not only good centers, but also good commanders.

Shay, I know it's a name that people are unfamiliar with.

But the young man from China has become Georgetown University's most popular star besides Mutombo. ”

Alonzo:???

Listen to what you say, this is human talk!

After that, the moderator read a 500-word speech that boasted about Shay.

It recounts Shay's violent beating of Owens, violent abuse of Smith, and detaching Burrell.

It's like a prototype of a starting point basketball article.

Between the lines, a sentence was revealed: "This son is the next magician, everyone choose quickly!" ”

can occupy such a long space in the basketball program that is broadcast live in the whole ugly.

Now, Shay is really starting to become famous.

Shay felt very strange that he had played really well in these two games, but they were only two regular season games in the Great East League.

Besides, I was just a sporadic high school student before, and I didn't have much attention.

Why was he suddenly targeted by this kind of basketball show?

Shay always felt that there was a pair of big invisible hands that were pushing him forward.

When he woke up the next day to go to class, Shay was surrounded by several men in suits and leather shoes as soon as he left the dormitory building.

They're all basketball agents who came to Shay!

Although the NCAA explicitly states that student players cannot have contact with agents.

But as long as you don't do it blatantly and don't trade crookedly, under normal circumstances, no one will care about private chats in advance.

Seeing that agents were coming to him, Shay was sure that he had really entered the NBA's field of vision!

But Shay didn't lose himself, but rejected everyone's kindness.

Well, Shay admits that one of the agents who said he was going to take himself to American health care almost made him shake his position.

Eventually, though, Shay resisted the temptation.

The reason is also very simple, these agents are spicy chicken that Shay has never heard of!

It goes without saying how important a good agent is, and Shay is not going to be easily conquered by an American health care system.

What's more, in the 90s, the NBA had very few restrictions on contracts and the rules were not perfect.

Therefore, the signing of the contract is based on the principle of "one is willing to fight and one is willing to suffer", and it is purely dependent on the negotiation between the two parties.

Also a rookie in the same rank, a good agent can make you pay twice as much as someone else.

is also a star of the same level, a good agent can make your annual salary seven or eight times that of others!

Therefore, the broker is particularly important!

At the moment, there are no well-known agents coming to Shay.

But that's okay, as long as you can keep putting in a good performance and make a big impact in the March Madness Tournament.

Shay believes that there will definitely be more well-known and reliable agents coming to the door at that time.

As for the Big East League game, the two strongest have already been handled by Shay.

The rest, isn't it simple?
