Chapter 19 The Story of the NBA Begins

"Okay, I remember, and I will contact you if necessary."

At noon the next day, in a Chinese restaurant in Greece, Su Bai hung up the phone.

"Xiao Su, you're an NBA scout again. How about inviting you to try out?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, with so many invitations from scouts, Su Bai, you will definitely be selected."

At the table with Su Bai, the men's basketball bosses who celebrated for them picking up the gold talked in a hurry.

"Okay, okay, don't ask any more, come on, let's toast Xiao Su again, Xiao Su is doing our country an honor for our men's basketball team!"

Yao Ming coughed dryly, raised his glass and said.

Those men's basketball players quickly shut up, and then raised their wine glasses to Su Bai together.

To be reasonable, with Su Bai's bursting performance, it is indeed worth this cup.

More importantly, in addition to the national youth team, their national team has also been praised by the media in various ways.

They are all men's basketball teams, regardless of family!
Su Bai picked up the juice and touched everyone with a smile, then drank it all in one gulp.

From now on, everyone will be in the same circle.

Soon, the topic of wine cups led to the draft.

After all, the draft is only a few days away.

Compared with Yi Jianlian, who is steadily advancing in the lottery, everyone pays more attention to Sun Yue and Su Bai.

"Sun Yue, can you make it to the first round?" Zhu Fangyu asked curiously.

Sun Yue with a blushing face replied, "It shouldn't be a big problem."

Then he snapped his fingers and said, "I busted a little guy named Aaron Brooks in the Spurs workout, and that guy was projected to be drafted in the first round.

There is also a lottery pick called Corey Brewer, who was also beaten by me one-on-one during his trial training. "

Zhu Fangyu said cheerfully: "Then you will definitely be able to enter the lottery!

Our men's basketball team is going to be famous now! "

At this moment, Zhu Fangyu patted Su Bai on the shoulder again: "If only Xiao Su could enter the lottery, there are 14 Chinese in the 3 lottery, how awesome!"

Su Bai smiled and said nothing.

It's no problem for Yi Jianlian to be selected in the lottery, but Sun Yue...

If Su Bai remembered correctly, he was selected in the second round.

As for himself, to be honest, Su Bai really didn't know what to do.

It shouldn't be a big problem to be selected, but the lottery?
It won't be clear until the trial training is over.

After the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, Yao Ming pulled Su Bai to his room.

Then, Su Bai saw Bill Duffy who had obviously been waiting for a long time.

"Xiao Su, chat with Bill, I hope it will be helpful for your next trial training." Yao Ming simply explained and went to the bathroom, as if he didn't want to influence Su Bai because of him.

"Hello, Su Bai."

"Hello, Mr. Duffy."

After the exchange, Su Bai quickly figured out why he asked Yao Ming to arrange this meeting.

To put it simply, Bill Duffy is very optimistic about Su Bai's future and hopes to become Su Bai's manager.

But Su Bai didn't agree.

Compared to a well-known manager like Bill Duffy, Su Bai hopes to find a manager who can serve him wholeheartedly, even if he is not well-known now.

And a big-name agent like Bill Duffy may have a wider network, but he may not be so dedicated to serving him.

Bill Duffy also has a really good temper. He didn't speak ill of Su Bai because of his refusal. Instead, he asked Su Bai if he needed help.

At present, it seems that Su Bai and him have no fate, but it is not bad to have a good relationship!

Bill Duffy was not polite when he asked Su Bai, saying that he really needed to go to the United States for a trial training.

Such as booking air tickets, booking hotels, arranging special car pick-ups and so on. Of course, Su Bai would not go whoring for nothing, saying that he would pay for the service.

Bill Duffy said that this is a piece of cake, and he will send a man to accompany him to take care of everything.

Not long after Su Bai left Dayao's room, Yi Jianlian's manager, Dan Feigen, also came to him.

Su Bai also politely declined Dan Feigen.

In fact, Dan Fagan is not without merit. For example, he is especially good at helping players fight for their interests.

In the future, the "rich and handsome" Chandler Parsons' three-year $3 million contract with the Mavericks and the four-year $4600 million contract with the Grizzlies were all written by Dan Fagan.

In the future, Dan Feigen also helped the "General" Arenas, who was in a sharp decline, to win a 6-year contract of 1.1 million US dollars...

In addition, the special training in the United States arranged by Dan Feigen for Yi Jianlian was also quite effective.

It's just that this guy is sometimes too egotistical. Su Bai clearly remembers that this guy directed the farce between Yi Jianlian and the Bucks.

It's not that Su Bai doesn't want to sign a big contract, but he hopes that it depends on his own strength, not hype. The most important thing is that he hates being passive.

……

On the morning of the 24th, Su Bai appeared in a cafe in Los Angeles.

However, the person sitting opposite him was not the subordinate sent by Bill Duffy, but a small manager named Ryan Flynn.

In fact, Ryan Flynn paid attention to Su Bai after the game between Su Bai and Spain, and then found out that Su Bai did not have an agent.

Ryan Flynn decisively gritted his teeth and used his little savings to buy a plane ticket to Greece. At the same time, he tried to contact Su Bai many times, but he was ignored by Su Bai who was focused on preparing for the battle.

It's just that Ryan Flynn didn't give up, and followed him from Greece to Los Angeles. Su Bai, who was familiar with him, was also moved by this white man's perseverance and accepted his invitation.

"Su, let me introduce myself. My name is Ryan Flynn. I graduated from the Law School of the University of Chicago. Before that, I was an intern and worked in the top-ranked CAA brokerage company in the United States..."

After a quick self-introduction, Ryan Flynn said to Su Bai:

"I hope to be your basketball agent, please give me this opportunity!"

Although Ryan Flynn spoke very fast, he was well-organized and had obviously gone through a long period of preparation and practice. In addition, Ryan Flynn also handed Su Bai a thick book.

Su Bai briefly browsed through the content of the Lakers' trial training in the past few years, as well as the preferences of the Lakers' current coaching staff, and there are even photos next to each person.

Clear and well-founded.

Obviously, this guy named Ryan Flynn cherished this 'interview' very much.

"it is good."

"Please don't refuse so quickly, I..." Ryan Flynn paused, and said with wide eyes,

"Wait, Su, what did you just say, okay? You agreed?"

Because Ryan Flynn knew very well how popular Su Bai was now, so he really didn't expect Su Bai to agree to him directly.

In order to persuade Su Bai, he also prepared a lot of words.

Su Bai smiled, "That's right, I agreed, have you brought the contract?"

"Bring it." Although Ryan Flynn was still a little confused, he still quickly took out the contract.

It's just that at this time, he still has a sense of unreality like a pie in the sky.

Su Bai neatly took a good photo of the contract and sent it to his uncle's lawyer for confirmation. At the same time, he smiled and explained to Ryan Flynn that he was moved by his perseverance and seriousness.

From Su Bai's point of view, Ryan Flynn may indeed be as small as him now, but as long as he keeps working hard like this, he may not be unable to succeed in the future!

After all, didn’t Rich Paul, James’ little friend in his previous life, grow into one of the most powerful agents in the NBA?
