After changing careers, I became the number one player in basketball

029: A stepping stone to the international market

At the end of the game, the score on the spot left the UConn fans in collective silence.

47 to 87, the University of Connecticut, the runner-up in the Big East Conference last season, was beaten by Georgetown by 40 points!

I thought it was outrageous that Georgetown beat the defending champion by 31 points in the last game.

I didn’t expect that today, Li Ke’s mother would open the door for Li Ke, and Li Ke got home directly!

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

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

Burrell?

He had already been turned into autistic by Shay in the first half, so in the second half he was even more muddled than a lecher.

Shay single-handedly locked down the Huskies' two core players.

Of course, Smith also has reasons.

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

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

The 40-point difference and the performance of locking down Chris Smith allowed Shea to gain a lot of game experience points.

If we keep fighting like this, I'm afraid it won't take more than four months for another five-stroke wave to happen!

At this time, Shay found that countless female students on the edge of the stands were calling his name.

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

Needless to say, Shay's body and appearance are still very good. It is normal to attract female fans.

Xie Yi complained viciously in his heart, these girls from the Mi Li family have no respect for themselves!

Then he smiled and prepared to walk over.

That's what I like!

What could they do wrong? They just wanted to be instilled with patriotic genes by Shay.

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

"Shay, will you participate in next year's NBA draft!?"

"You didn't allow Smith a single point in the second half today. Do you think you can guard NBA-level 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 interviewed by reporters in the last game, there were not that many reporters interviewing him.

But today, apart from Mutombo, the most popular person on the entire court is Shay.

Well, Mourning's daily 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.

The new generation is really better than the old one.

Facts have proved that everyone loves to drink this tea.

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

Shea definitely wants to participate in the draft. Unless he has a good idea, he will continue to waste time in the nca.

The NCAA is known as the most pure basketball stage in the world, but in Shea's view, it is actually the most unscrupulous league.

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

The purpose of a university is not only to train student athletes, but to retain them and make money. Even if the knee is scrapped or the ligament is torn, it doesn't matter. It will always be the player who suffers the loss.

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 players.

It's okay if you meet a coach like John Thompson who can really train you, but if you meet a coach who just wants you to stay and be a cash cow, you're just waiting to be squeezed to death.

For such a heartless league, Shea naturally does not want to stay any longer.

But the matter of the draft needs to be considered in the long term.

Therefore, Shea did not clearly answer whether he would participate in the draft.

The last question from the reporters is very interesting:

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

The reporters all laughed. In the last game, Shea said he had a small victory over his opponent by 31 points. Many people criticized him and thought he was arrogant.

As a result, today, Shea used a 40-point victory to tell Quan Chou that 31 points was indeed just a small victory.

So, some reporters used this as a joke and asked Shay if 40 points was considered a small victory.

Shay also smiled: "We won by 40 points today. It can only be said that our performance was ordinary~ We should be able to perform better in the next game."

This time, no one will probably criticize Shay for being arrogant.

Because he has proven that he is not arrogant, but actually has the capital to brutally torture his opponents!

After this game, Shea moved up a few positions in the latest draft prediction rankings, and is basically guaranteed to be in the first round.

In other words, as long as Shay declares himself participating in the draft, he will 100% be selected.

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

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

Stern just visited China last year, and he waited for hours in the CCTV broadcast room to receive free video tapes and free broadcasts of the games.

Its purpose is to pry open the Chinese market.

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

Therefore, it is urgent to explore the international market.

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

No, he has already created a dream team composed of NBA players to compete in next year's Barcelona Olympics.

Officially invade the fiba world and promote nba stars to the world.

And waiting for several hours in Beijing's cold spring just to be offered free video and broadcast rights is just part of Stern's plan to bring the NBA to the world.

But it is obvious that if the NBA wants to promote itself in China's market of more than one billion people, it cannot rely solely on free game tapes.

He needs a stepping stone.

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

If only a Chinese could play in the NBA and make a name for himself...

The little old Jewish man smiled and decided to add more fuel to Shay who was already on fire!

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

Shay found out that for the first time, he appeared on a prime-time NBA show on NBC!

In this program, after the host finished talking about recent games, he also talked about the NCAA newcomers worth paying attention to this year.

Because Shay only played two games, in this era of limited information, his popularity is actually very average.

But he never expected that this program would actually talk about him.

"Georgetown University can not only produce excellent centers now, but also produce excellent generals.

Shay, I know this name is unfamiliar to everyone.

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

Mourning:???

Listen to what you are saying, this is human language!

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

It narrated the story of Shea beating Owens, brutally beating Smith, and kneeling Burrell.

It's like a prototype of a Qidian basketball article.

Reading between the lines, there is a sentence: "This boy is the next magician, everyone chooses quickly!"

It occupies such a long space in Quan Chou's live basketball program.

At this time, Shay really started to become famous.

Shea found it strange that he had indeed played well in these two games, but they were only two regular season games in the Big East Conference.

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

Why are you suddenly being targeted by this kind of basketball program?

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

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

They are all basketball agents who came to see Shay!

Although the NCAA clearly stipulates that student players cannot have contact with agents.

But as long as you don't do it blatantly and don't directly bully the transaction, usually no one will care about the private chat in advance.

Seeing that all the agents came to look for him, Shay was sure that he had really entered the NBA's field of vision!

But Shay did not lose himself and rejected everyone's good intentions.

Well, Shea admitted that one of the agents who said he wanted to take him to try American health care almost made him waver in his stance.

But in the end, Shay resisted the temptation.

The reason is also very simple, these agents are all hot chicks that Shay has never heard of!

It goes without saying how important a good agent is. Shay will not be conquered by an American health care program casually.

What's more, in the 1990s, the NBA had few restrictions on contracts and the rules were not yet complete.

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

You are also a rookie in the same draft, and a good agent can make your salary twice that of others.

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

Therefore, agents are particularly important!

Currently, no well-known agents have approached Shay.

But it doesn't matter, as long as you can continue to perform well and show off your talents in the March Madness tournament.

Shea believes that a more well-known and reliable agent will definitely come to his door by then.

As for the Big East Conference game, the two strongest players have already been taken care of by Shay.

Isn’t the rest simple?
