Chapter 3: The Bird Pact

Larry Bird was also a little surprised to see James and the Goodwin brothers.

They quickly stood up, bowed warmly, and greeted Larry Bird.

Needless to say, Bird's status in the basketball circle is no more than 10 people who can surpass him.

Suhi introduced: "This is my friend LeBron James and short-term agents Aaron Goodwin and Eric Goodwin. ”

Larry Bird stretched out his hand and shook LeBron James gently, and asked casually, "What about your long-term contract agent." ”

"I'm busy with other work."

Suhi gave a brief introduction.

At this point, Bird turned around and looked.

The Goodwin brothers hurriedly understood, and they hurriedly said goodbye to Sushi and Bird, and pulled James away.

Coming out of the room, the Goodwin brothers were particularly surprised, they didn't care if Bird shook hands with them or not. Eric said: "It seems that the agent behind Jack is very powerful, at least he has a very close relationship with Bird, otherwise with Bird's identity, he would not have come to a rookie's room to take the initiative to find him." He's an arrogant man. ”

Aaron nodded approvingly. Then, he said, "We're going to get this one right." ”

I still thought in my heart that it was best to maintain a good relationship with the masters behind Su Xi.

At this time, LeBron James has a question.

He was a smart man, and he reacted quickly when he came out of the room, and he asked Brother Goodwin, "Why did you only charge him 1 million commissions?" And if you raise the price with him, will it help him? ”

Alan Goodwin was slightly stunned, thinking that James was not easy to fool. But then a smile appeared. He said to James: "LeBron, what do you think if you and Jack are put in the same training camp. If we put the staff of Adidas, Nike or even Reebok in it, who will they prefer? Even if Jack's offer is $80 million and your offer is $100 million, do you guess which one they will choose? ”

"And, you have to know how clever the operations team behind Jack is. A month ago, he was a starter at an ordinary university with no name. But now, who in the national basketball world doesn't know Susie the Sheep? He shines even more than Cameron, who was the ace of Syracuse University before that. ”

"The most important thing is that Jack has a huge Asian market behind him. Don't you want to expand your influence into China? There are more than a billion people there, and the potential spending power far exceeds that of the United States. And, if you want to be the most famous player in basketball history, you should maintain a relationship with him, China will be the place to overtake in the corner. ”

The Goodwin brothers are eloquent, they are like Chinese matchmakers, they can give perfect explanations when they turn upside down.

You Zhan's mind couldn't turn around them.

He felt it made sense. He said: "Actually, I want to be with him, and part of it is because of the Chinese market behind him. Look at Francis, they have made a lot of fame in China. Of course, I also like Jack's defensive ability, tenacity and dedication. ”

"That's right. Don't think that we take more commissions from you, in fact, our hearts are on your side. Alan Goodwin patted James on the shoulder and stared at James with very sincere eyes: "I can do without his $1 million, but I want to work with you forever." ”

The tone is touching.

James nodded. But he thought to himself: Am I going to be the second Carmelo Anthony?

Then he shook his head in the negative.

How is it possible, I am the chosen one, I am extremely shrewd, not comparable to Cameron. Even if Jack gets some benefits from me, I'm sure I'll be able to earn more from him.

"Congratulations on winning this year's MOP, it's beyond my imagination." Larry Bird took off his blazer and sat comfortably on the couch. At this time, he was smiling, like a gentle neighbor uncle.

He didn't show his arrogance when he faced the Goodwin brothers.

He treats Suxi as if she were his own nephew.

"Jack, you're a smart man, and I've received all your hints. Now, I'm going to tell you some experiences that will help you. Larry Bird sat up slightly.

"Between now and next Monday, you're going to see praise and praise for you in all the media, and most of that praise is going to be exaggerated, so don't take it personally," he said. ”

"This kind of public opinion will last for about a week, and then there will be criticism of you in the media, and they will say that you can't do this or that. They will also say that you got the MOP by accident, and they will say that you entered the NBA for nothing. When the time comes, I will criticize you too. Don't take it to heart either. ”

Bird continued: "I'm giving you a promise right now, we're going to do everything we can to get a 10th to 14th pick and we're going to give you the treatment of a top-10 rookie on a rookie contract. ”

"But I need you not to go to individual tryouts with other teams."

"Do you know what I mean?"

Bird asked Suhi.

Suhi said, "Understood. You're trying to bring down my draft market, and this year's draft picks are not easy to get. ”

Larry Bird snapped his fingers, he loved dealing with smart people.

"Is there anything you want to say to me?"

Larry Bird asked Suhey.

Suhi said: "I can not go to a tryout with any team, but how do you make sure that your commitment is correct? ”

Larry Bird smiled, pulling out his phone. He said he called the Pacers owner and motioned for Sushi to use his cell phone to record it.

This is very sincere.

Suhi didn't actually press the record button.

The Pacers boss was obedient to Bird during the call, greeting Suhi warmly and promising to do what Bird had instructed.

When they finished calling, Suhee showed Bird his phone. He said, "I didn't have a recording, I believe you." But now, I need you to give me a heartfelt commitment. ”

"What promise?" Larry Bird asked.

"I'm going to help the Pacers win championships in four years. Once I've won the championship, I want you to give me your super talent for judging defensive distance in games. Sushi said.

Bird smiled and said, "That's it? ”

Suhi was serious, he said, "Yes. That's it. I need you to give me this promise. ”

Bird said, "I can teach you right now." But..."

Suhi was very serious.

"Yes, dear little sheep Suhey. I rarely play this kind of game though. But..."

Bird's expression also became extremely serious: "If you help the Pacers win a championship and fulfill the last basketball wish of my life, I will definitely give you my talent for judging distance on the court, and I will also teach you all my offensive skills." ”

Bird is sincere.

Bite!

Suhi heard the voice of the elf in her head, and it showed that the super distance talent contract was formed.

Su Xi stretched out his hand with a smile on his face: "Thank you, I will definitely help the team win the championship as soon as possible." ”

"You're welcome, Jack. You're the funniest rookie I've ever seen. However, I think it's best to work on your speed before you get into the NBA, and I know you have a lot of potential in terms of speed. If your speed increases, you'll be able to achieve incredible things on the offensive end. ”

"Yes, that's what I'm going to do." Sushi said.

"Would you like to celebrate with a glass of wine?" Bird asked Suhi.

Suhee shook her head, "No, Mr. Larry Bird. From now on, we're strangers, otherwise I'm not sure if you'll be convincing if you give me a negative review in a few days. ”

"Hahahaha." Bird smiled heartily. He liked this smart kid more and more.
