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

Georgetown is about to face UNLV. This has become a game that everyone in the United States is paying close attention to.

UNLV's win over Georgetown last season was quite controversial.

With Mourning sent off, Georgetown ultimately lost only 1 point.

Therefore, people can't help but wonder whether Georgetown University can overturn UNLV's dominance after having Shea this season.

The showdown between Shay, the supernova, and Larry Johnson, the former king, has attracted even more attention.

Shea has already overthrown Owens and Steve Smith. What if he overthrows Johnson again?

However, most people were not very optimistic about Georgetown University and Shea before the game.

Even though Georgetown's defense is extremely strong, people still think that Larry Johnson is an unstoppable guy.

Because of the competition, Shay gave more interviews during this period.

At the same time, more and more agents are coming to recommend themselves.

However, Shay didn't know any of the people who came to recommend themselves.

If you want to talk about famous agents since the 21st century, Shay probably knows a lot of them.

For example, Bill Duffy, Fagan, Bart Stern, Jeff Schwartz, Rich Paul, Pelinka, etc.

But Shay really doesn't know who the famous agents were in the 1990s.

Not knowing who was reliable, Shay didn't know how to choose.

Agents are especially important in this age of minimal contractual restrictions.

If you don't choose your agent well, you may become like Pippen in the future and become a unit of measurement for wages!

Therefore, although Shay politely left the numbers of all the visiting agents, there was still no one he liked.

With such a bunch of unfamiliar names, it’s really hard to choose.

Xie Yi never imagined that one day he would face a group of men and shout: "Change a new batch!"

The day before the game, Shea arrived with the team in Seattle, the venue for the Sweet 16 of the Western Conference.

Tomorrow's game against UNLV will be held at the famous Kings Dome in Seattle.

Because it was the day before the game, Thompson did not arrange for the team to do high-intensity training today.

In other words, I just did some adaptive training at noon.

After the training, the teammates all arranged to go to some famous check-in places in Seattle.

Only Shay chose to stay in the basketball gym and continue practicing.

Meet everyone again during dinner.

Everyone has become accustomed to this, and there is not a day that goes by that Shay doesn't practice.

He has become a well-known model worker for the team.

Shay actually wants to go to Seattle, but looking at his shooting attributes at the same level as Simmons...

Practice!

Fill up the experience bar early, upgrade early, and become stronger early.

If you can't become stronger, you can only be the background of Danzi in the 1990s.

Shay trained until 5:30 in the afternoon. After finally filling up his training bar, he said goodbye to his trainer and prepared to meet everyone at the restaurant of his hotel.

As soon as he walked out of the basketball gym, Shay saw a Mediterranean man in a suit and leather shoes coming up to him.

You don't need to think about it to know that it must be the agent recommended by Shay again.

Shay took a look at the guy walking towards him. His suit and tie looked very old, completely different from the glamorous people before.

From this point of view, this broker's economic situation is probably not very good.

Therefore, he should be just an unknown minor character.

but......

For some reason, Shay felt vaguely that this guy looked familiar.

"Hey Shay, nice to meet you.

Excuse me, let me introduce myself. My name is David Falk, a basketball agent.

I see the team has left a long time ago, have you been practicing alone?"

David Falk!?

As the "Basketball Encyclopedia", Shay searched for this name in his mind, and finally matched him with Jordan.

That's right, the man in a shabby suit in front of you is Mike Dan's agent David Falk!

After the 21st century, David Falk's name is rarely mentioned.

He was replaced by more and younger agents, and eventually disappeared into the vast crowd.

But in the 1990s, David Falk was definitely an agent who could cover the sky with one hand.

It's not just Jordan.

Superstars such as Ewing, Mutombo, Mourning, and O'Neal were all players under Falke.

At its peak, there were more than 200 players under Falke. If you took the players out to eat a fruit plate, you would have to book the venue directly.

Even a veteran like David Stern called Falk a "devil".

Why? Because he led the players to drain the league of oil and water!

At that time, the league was making money from the poor, but Falke slapped the table: "I don't make money from the poor, I make it from whoever has money!"

As a result, various teams were forced to sign high salaries, and various large contracts were signed. The most famous one was Danzi's annual salary of 30 million.

You know, at that time, the salary cap of a team was not even 30 million!

Falke's series of operations in the 1990s can be said to have directly promoted the improvement of the league's salary system.

Because if various salary restrictions are not imposed, all the bosses will soon be forced to sell the team by Falke's Lions!

But since Jordan completely retired and the league's salary system was improved, Falk's influence has gradually diminished.

Until later he disappeared.

It can only be said that each version is a god. In the 1990s, when the contract amount and length of time were decided by oneself, Falke was the god of versions!

He may be hated by the league and the owners, but this kind of agent can work for the best interests of the players.

One thing he often says is: My job is to get a high-dollar contract for the players. I don't have to be loyal to the team, but I have this obligation and responsibility to the players.

Xie Yi smiled, after waiting for so long, he finally found a reliable agent!

Of course, Falke's influence is not that great now.

Although Jordan is already one of the best players in the league, he has not yet become a god.

Therefore, Falke has to look for potential players everywhere and recruit them to his team.

After confirming the other party's identity, Shay suppressed the excitement in his heart and answered Falk's question: "Well, I have just been practicing in there."

"Then you are really a hard-working player, Shea. I know that no top player is not hard-working.

People always say that talented players can dominate the game, but no matter how talented the players are, they still need to work hard to succeed."

Falk looked at Shay and nodded in approval.

As Jordan's agent, he knows how hard Jordan works.

He also firmly believes that players who are both talented and hardworking will succeed sooner or later.

"Shay, I'm sorry to bother you, but... you should know that if you want to enter the professional basketball world, you need the help of an agent.

I am now Michael Jordan's agent. I have experience in this area and you can trust me.

I know that the NCAA stipulates that you cannot have contact with agents in advance.

But it doesn't matter, we can get along as friends now.

This is my business card. If you need help, call me anytime. I can help you solve any problem.

Since you've been practicing for so long, I won't delay your rest.

Good luck in tomorrow’s game!

But before you defeat Larry Johnson, I will also have a gift for you tomorrow~"

Falk said and smiled mysteriously.

Shay accepted Falk's business card, nodded, and left the training facility.

Gift?

It seems that it is illegal for an agent to give gifts to players, right?

Wait, this guy won't send some Heisi sister to knock on his door at night to accompany him to exercise, right?

Oops, how can this be so embarrassing? Hehehe~

However, Shay slept all night and didn't hear anyone knocking on the door!

So, what exactly is your gift?

After Shay woke up, he went to the hotel restaurant for breakfast.

When we arrived at the restaurant, several teammates were already having breakfast and reading newspapers.

When they found Shay walking in, everyone waved to him: "Shay, you're so famous now, you're even on the sports headlines!"

Shay curiously went over to take a look and found that there were long introductions about him in several local newspapers in Seattle today!

The titles are also very eye-catching:

"The most diligent genius is about to kill last season's king!"

The content of the report was probably about how hard Shay worked and how hard he practiced every day in order to enter the NBA.

This portrays Shay as a hard-working and lovable character.

This made Shay extremely popular!

After all, who doesn't love a talented and hard-working athlete?

These reports have even won the favor of Shay in the hearts of many NBA teams.

After all, there are too many players who fail after signing professional contracts. Who doesn’t love a player like Shay who pursues and dreams?

Shay's qualities may allow him to continue to rise in the draft.

Shay smiled and realized that this was the gift Falk was talking about.

The media will definitely not all praise Shea all of a sudden. There is only one possibility, and that is Falk using his connections to let the newspapers do this.

This is both a gift and a way for Falke to show his strength.

Shay looked at the newspaper and nodded, "Okay, okay, I know you are great."

So next, it's my turn to show my strength!

In the afternoon, reporters surrounded the UNLV team bus at the entrance of the Kings Dome, waiting to interview Larry Johnson.

Larry Johnson got out of the car wearing a pair of sunglasses, looking like a superstar.

Soon, a reporter asked Johnson: "Are you worried that your winning streak will be ended by Shea?"

Now Shea's fame is so great that it surpasses Mutombo and Mourning.

Moreover, there are more and more people supporting Shay.

Because people really want to see a Hollywood-style story about a small person who works hard and defeats the big devil.

However, Larry Johnson was full of disdain for Shea:

"Shay? Who? I've never heard of him.

How many championships does he have in his hands?

Georgetown is just a defeated general under our command, nothing to be afraid of!"

After saying that the number one scholar was very popular, he clenched his fingers and made a "click" sound.

He's ready for a big fight!

The game between Georgetown and UNLV is far more than just basketball...
