I am Really an Insider

As Wayne expected, when they returned to Stillwater with the NCAA championship trophy, the small town seemed to be full of stuff.

Although the NCAA championship does not have the luxury of a championship parade that costs millions of dollars.

But on the way from the airport to the school, the players sitting in the team bus are also equivalent to experiencing the feeling of a championship parade.

After returning to school and putting the championship trophy in the showroom, the legendary 03-04 season of the Cowboys officially came to an end.

The old Sutton looked at the players who made himself a miracle, unable to speak and announce the disbandment of the team.

In the end, he hugged everyone, and said reluctantly: "Next, you can have a good rest, legends."

Of course, not everyone is gone after the team is disbanded.

The two Cowboys, Wayne and Tony, who are about to participate in the draft this year and have a high probability of being selected in the first round, were called to the office alone by the old Sutton.

Looking at his two most proud players this season, the old Sutton was extremely proud.

Wayne and Tony are going to the NBA. This is Sutton's glory, but it also makes him sad.

This is where college coaches struggle the most.

No matter how good players they develop, they will eventually leave.

On the one hand, the coach hopes that all his players can play in the NBA and become big stars.

But on the other hand, I wish they could stay forever

The old Sutton sighed, this is not the first time he has cultivated players who can play in the NBA.

But no matter how many times you experience it, parting is always hard.

"Both of you, the next time you play in an official game, it will be as a professional player.

This summer, you have to be ready. Although you are the champions of college basketball, even though Wei, you have already won the MOP of the Final Four, which represents the highest honor.

But professional basketball and all the games you have played before are two different concepts.

It was more savage and brutal there. There is nothing that will let you, everything you want must be achieved with your own hands. "

Sutton spoke very seriously, and he had to urge Wayne and Tony to get ready.

Because professional basketball has plunged several of Sutton's lovers into a vortex.

"Big Country" Bryant Rivers, one of the most well-known long men in the history of the Cowboys, was selected with the sixth highest pick in 1995.

In the first year of entering the NBA, Rivers averaged 13.3 points and 7.4 rebounds per game, became the mainstay of the Grizzlies inside, and was selected to the All-Rookie Second Team.

In the third year of his career, Rivers averaged 16.3 points and 7.9 rebounds per game. And in a certain game against the Celtics, he took away a career-high stat of 41 points and 12 rebounds!

The then Celtics coach Rick Pitino commented after the game: "Reeves is an excellent basketball player. He can quickly judge the direction of the ball, and then get a huge space in the penalty area. I believe , he has the potential to become a superstar!"

After that, he won a 6-year 61.8 million contract from the Grizzlies. The combination with Raheem and Bibby is considered the hope of the Grizzlies.

Rivers was very popular at the time, and his jersey sales were among the best.

Old Sutton was also very happy, he thought he could finally see his disciple shine in the professional arena.

Then, there is no more.

After 1998, Rivers, who should have reached the peak, began to decline due to injuries.

After the Grizzlies moved to Memphis in the 01-02 season, Rivers did not even play any games for the team due to injuries.

Finally in 2002, Rivers had to announce his retirement. The hopeful star of the Grizzlies, after only three bright seasons, fell like a meteor.

Now, it is only two years since Rivers retired. However, few people still remember the Big Mac that ravaged the restricted area in Vancouver.

Paul Gasol has become the idol of the Grizzlies' new generation, and Bryant Rivers has been completely buried in the dust of history, and no one has ever mentioned it again.

This is professional basketball. Seeing his proud disciple enter the league from the university overlord and then fall, becoming no one cares about the old Sutton is really worrying.

And Rivers is already considered one of the luckier ones, at least he had his own highlight period, although it was very short.

After most college players enter the professional basketball world, they don't even have a short-term peak, and they will directly disappear from the crowd and then disappear.

Sutton does not want similar tragedies to happen to Wayne and Tony Allen.

"We'll be ready, Coach." Wayne nodded, knowing that Sutton was worried about their future.

However, as an "experienced person", Wayne is very relieved about this.

Really, don't worry too much.

The head guard who attacked the city for you will make many top scorers in the league feel aggrieved and scold their mothers in the future, and will become the nightmare of countless players.

He might even have his jersey retired in Memphis if history doesn't bend.

As for himself, Wayne didn't know what he could become.

But if he is selected in the first round and gets the "Man of Steel" badge, his ending should not be as tragic as his predecessor Rivers.

"So, have you all found your own agent? Your next draft, tryout and summer training, including business operations and dealing with the media, can't be done by one person alone.

Listen, you can't mess around with an agent, he has had a huge impact on your career. If you need, I can check it out for you. "

After the old Sutton finished speaking, Mr. Tony showed an expression of "whatever, whatever, whatever you say".

Although he knew he was looking for an agent, Tony had no plans at all.

He originally wanted to spend a few months leisurely after winning the championship, and then slowly arrange other things.

But now it seems that there are quite a lot of things to do, and there is no time to waste.

Well, for a player like Mr. Tony who is not very high in the draft, it still takes a while to get used to it if he wants to turn around from a pure basketball environment.

The NCAA doesn't have so much trouble, just hit your ball and it's over.

But professional basketball is not that simple.

"I do have a candidate. He contacted me on the day of the finals. I have made an appointment with him tomorrow." Wayne then told all the things he had talked with Schwartz.

"Jeff Schwartz? Well, in recent years, he has become a little famous in the circle. As far as I know, Paul Pierce and Kidd are both his clients, right?" Old Sutton gave Wayne an approving look.

With a built-in physique that attracts well-known managers, it can save Wayne a lot of trouble.

Yes, Wayne is a Chinese player.

The bonus of the Chinese market may not be obvious in the NCAA, but in the professional circle, no one will let go of such a player with a special background.

"That's right, and if there are no accidents, Emeka Okafor should also sign with him. I think he is pretty good. Of course, I have to meet with him tomorrow and then discuss it in detail."

Beside Wayne, Teacher Tony's eyes were straight.

You kid did so many things in just one day?

Then what did I do?

Oh, so patronizing that I picked up the toilet and vomited

They are all good teammates, why is there such a big gap?

In fact, Tony is pretty good, at least he knows the process of the draft, but he hasn't had time to prepare.

Back then, "Birdman" Anderson announced that he would participate in the draft, but he didn't know that the draft was to sign up.

Then, well, he came to CBA to make his debut.

"Tony, do you want to be with me? It just so happens that you haven't found a suitable agent." At this moment, Wayne suddenly turned his head and asked Tony.

"Ah? Together? Well, I don't know, will they sign a contract with me? Besides, I don't have any money now."

Mr. Tony, like Wayne, is an old poor ghost.

"I'll find out when I go to ask tomorrow. After talking with him, I'll be the first to give you news."

"Oh then I'll take care of you, Wayne."

"What are you talking about? It's easy. Besides, your business is my business, so leave it to me." Wayne patted Tony on the back.

Immediately, Teacher Tony was overwhelmed with emotion.

Thinking about how I am still obsessed with that Christmas pizza, I am not a thing at all!

Mr. Tony made up his mind at that time, and treat Wayne to eat pizza every Christmas in the future!

Well, of course he didn't know that if he and Wayne signed with the same agent and trained together in the summer, Wayne would be able to continue to spend crazy points on him.

After so many months of accumulation, Wayne is not far from the 500,000 growth points needed to upgrade.

If he can continue to train with Tony this summer, it will definitely be no problem to upgrade before the draft.

It would be even better if we could upgrade a wave before the trial training!

That's why Wayne needs to keep Tony by his side!

Not only can you meet your own needs, but you can also send a favor.

Isn't it wonderful!

Teacher Tony is still too innocent in front of Wayne who has been a man for two lifetimes.

We were about to part ways, and of course Wayne and Tony had to go through a million more wonderful hand-to-hand fights.

This strong brotherhood is so unforgivable.

The next day, Schwartz showed up at the gate of the Ohio State University on time.

He came here specially to pick up Wayne, and when the driver got out of the car to open the door for Wayne, Wayne was really not used to it.

Those who didn't know about this treatment thought Wayne was the No. 1 pick.

From the very first moment he saw Schwartz, Wayne had a good impression of him.

Because of Schwartz's appearance, he belongs to the kind of kind-hearted type.

But behind his smile, you can feel his wisdom.

"Hello, Wei, I'm glad you took the time to meet me. Congratulations, you have no regrets in your college career." As soon as he got in the car, Schwartz greeted Wayne very friendly.

After a while, the car arrived at the cafe that had been booked in advance.

After Wayne walked in, he realized that there was no one in the cafe!

He glanced at Schwartz suspiciously, and it turned out that Schwartz seemed to be able to guess Wayne's mind: "For the convenience of negotiations, I booked this store today, so it's quieter.

If you don't like it, we can change one. "

"Uh, it's good, Mr. Schwartz, let's go here." Wayne curled his lips, which is simply inhumane.

After sitting down and ordering coffee and some snacks, Schwartz got straight to the point.

"I'm not wasting your time anymore, Wayne. I'm here to reach a cooperation with you. I'm very optimistic about your strength and the huge market behind you.

I think I can maximize your business value. Of course, it can also escort your career. "

Schwartz was quite frank. He didn't brag about Wayne, but directly said that he was optimistic about the Chinese market.

"You are a very motivated player with great potential, and I am optimistic about your development in the NBA.

In business, I also have the confidence to make you successful. I know, pale words are not convincing, but if you think my service is not good after the draft, you can replace me at any time.

I can sign a short-term contract with you first and serve you until the end of the draft. If you are satisfied after the draft, we will sign a long-term contract.

Words are useless, I want to use actions to tell you what I can do for you.

As said on the phone, you can leave it to me for training, trials and commercial activities.

I can give you a detailed summer plan in a few days, and modify it according to your satisfaction. "

Schwartz is very confident. He believes that only sincerity can be exchanged for trust.

"Well, I'm willing to trust you first. If possible, we can take a look at the contract template." Wayne didn't want to be too wordy, and the key now is to find an agent and start arranging summer plans as soon as possible.

One thing to know, agent, no matter how awesome he is, he also works for the players.

The players are the bosses.

No, Wayne will change.

Bill Duffy, Jeff Austin, Mark Bartelstein had plenty of spare tires.

"Hahaha, I like your crispness and directness, Wayne. I will not betray your trust."

"By the way, Mr. Schwartz, I have a small proposal. My teammate, Tony Allen, you should know him. He has no manager yet, so, I wonder if you can help him .”

Schwartz took a sip of coffee unhurriedly, then smiled slowly: "Is this one of your conditions?"

"Yes, and no, I hope he can participate in the draft smoothly. In the summer, I also hope to train with him."

"In that case, of course I won't refuse. Leave Tony's matter to me as well. I will contact him and visit him personally."

Schwartz is not very optimistic about the commercial value of Tony Allen, but mosquito meat is also meat, and there is no harm in Schwartz signing Tony.

Besides, if this can win Wayne, he has to sign even more.

"Really? That's really great. But are you really busy enough to be in charge of so many players in the draft?" Wayne did the math, and as far as he knew, the rookies Schwartz was in charge of now had three One.

"Hahahahaha, it seems that you don't know enough about my ability, Wei. It's okay, you will gradually understand in the future. If you are not in a hurry, let's finish our snacks."

Wayne nodded and tasted the delicate snack in front of him.

He must have a good meal, because if there is no accident, the chance for him to eat and drink freely should not be many.

Thanks to the big guys like Datang Tiejun, Immortal Immortal Immortal, Youqing Tea, Datang Nth Dragon, Polo 0805, etc. for your rewards. Thank you~ The number of words added to the shelf is 6.6W, and I have worked hard to save the manuscript.
