I am Really an Insider

When teacher Tony received Schwartz's call and met with Schwartz the next day, he could only describe his gratitude to Wayne.

In his opinion, Wayne was doing himself a big favor.

What he didn't know was that he would have a very fulfilling summer this coming.

Both Wayne and Tony have officially started their draft summer, and the NCAA's 2003-04 season has come to an end.

But the enthusiasm about the NCAA has not completely cooled down.

Four days after the Cowboys won the championship, various season awards began to be announced one by one.

And this time, as MOP, Wayne was naturally on the list of many honors.

First of all, Wayne was selected as the No. 4 player in the annual first team of the year selected by the NCAA organizing committee.

He squeezed out Sean May, who was previously more famous and larger, and successfully took over.

Being able to enter this list, to put it bluntly, Wayne is considered by the NCAA organizing committee to be the strongest forward this season!

That's not all. Wayne was also selected into the All-American Team and All-Defensive Team selected by the Associated Press.

Unfortunately, in 2004, the NCAA only had the Bob Cousy Award, which was awarded to the best point guard.

Other best location awards have not been opened yet.

Otherwise, Wayne might still be able to take home the Karl Malone Best Power Forward Award.

Big 12 MVP, Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year, Big 12 All-Pro, Big 12 Champion, Final Four MOP, NCAA Championship, NCAA First Team of the Year, AP Most All-NBA Team and AP All-Defensive Team

Wayne has been soft on winning awards this season.

Although receiving these honors does not mean that Wayne will definitely succeed in the NBA.

In Wayne's previous life, Evan Turner, who also won awards and was soft-handed in college, did very well in the NBA.

But these are at least a good start. Wayne's college career does not have any regrets.

Wayne, who is full of honors, has naturally become popular in China. Wayne originally played well in the finals, and he won so many awards at once, which made Chinese fans very excited.

All major media have speculated that Wayne is very likely to be selected in the lottery.

Even more exaggerated, Wayne was directly promoted to the top three!

Well, this is the urinal nature of domestic media in this era.

To praise one's own players is to exaggerate.

In comparison, Korean media has been much quieter during this period.

Because they had no idea, and they could see that it was almost impossible for Ha Shengzhen to surpass Wayne in the rankings.

Wayne has made a name for himself in the NCAA and is now a well-known star player across the country.

Ha Shengzhen has yet to prove himself.

After succeeding Yao Ming, Wayne taught the No. 1 center in the Republic of Korea a good lesson.

Being with Teacher Tony, a teammate who majored in education, I learned nothing but educating people.

At this time, Wayne's draft enthusiasm in China was already very high. In addition to watching Yao Ming, fans were discussing Wayne's draft prospects every day.

But the draft lottery hasn't even started yet, so those street reports predicting that Wayne will enter a certain team are basically all nonsense.

But among all these nonsense reports, the most popular is undoubtedly the news that Mosaic hopes to acquire Wayne by trading draft picks.

As the saying goes, there is a market only when there is demand.

It is precisely because fans want to see it that news about Yao Ming and Wayne teaming up is spreading everywhere.

It can be seen that Chinese fans are quite looking forward to Yao Ming and Wayne joining forces.

"If Yao Ming and Wayne join forces, we can guarantee a dynasty!"

"Surprise! Mosaic has made great progress in winning over Wayne!"

"Houston fans said: Welcome the second Chinese player to join."

At that time, Mosaic was equivalent to the Chinese team in the NBA.

Don't tell me, many people who don't understand basketball really think Mosaic is China's NBA team.

Therefore, whenever there was any hot topic during that period, the media would take advantage of it with Mosaic.

Wayne cannot see these domestic reports, otherwise he would really admire these people's ability to make up stories.

Mosaic wants to sign superstars every year, but they can't sign them every year. Championship every year, first round trip every year.

Isn't it because the Chinese media and fans always have too high expectations for Mosaic.

It’s just that they unconsciously default to this expectation as reality.

In the past few days, Schwartz also worked out a summer training plan for Wayne as promised.

And according to Wayne's request, he also arranged for Tony Allen and Wayne to train together.

Wayne actually plans to invite Okafor, and it would be great to get some points on Okafor.

Now that they have the same relationship as an agent, it stands to reason that the success rate of the invitation should be very high.

However, Okafor decisively rejected the invitation.

After losing the championship and MOP, Mr. Perfect is still angry.

"I'll go and rent a gym for us alone and hire a lot of trainers. How much pizza will this buy?"

When Teacher Tony saw the list of training plans, he couldn't imagine how expensive it would be.

I, Tony, have never fought such a rich battle in my life!

"You are also a professional player, can you stop thinking about those pieces of pizza all day long?

Once you are selected and signed, you and I will be millionaires! You have to broaden your horizons, Tony. "On the surface, Wayne didn't agree with this, but actually he was panicking in his heart.

Schwartz is indeed very powerful. In such a short time, the training hall and trainers were all arranged.

And, as he promised, he doesn’t charge a penny!

All training expenses were paid in advance out of his own pocket.

It's not uncommon for agents to advance pre-draft fees.

After all, most of the new clients of brokers are "poor students" who are no different from ordinary people.

In order to gain trust, brokers will pay for these students in various situations, which counts as an investment in future business.

What's more, you have to deal with the players' families.

As we all know, in Lao Hei, once someone in the family becomes famous, any aunt or relative will come to you and confidently ask for money.

It's not okay if you don't give it, because in Lao Hei's opinion, this is an unkind act.

What should players do if they don’t have money yet?

Agent gives!

An agent once anonymously broke the news: "Of the 30 rookies in the first round, at least 28 have similar debt relationships with their agents."

Although this number is exaggerated, it is also very illustrative.

Therefore, it is very common for agents to advance fees to college players.

But there are indeed not many people as generous as Schwartz.

"How much does this millionaire cost, Wayne?" When Teacher Tony heard that he was going to make a lot of money, he stretched out his hands and felt that ten fingers were not enough to count.

"One million means a lot of money. Well, as long as you don't use it randomly, it can be used for a long, long time." Wayne didn't know what a million was.

Although they were human beings in two lives, they were both poor.

I have no experience in this area.

If the female fans of Ohio State knew that their heroes were such losers in private, they would probably be less interested in them.

"Anyway, there is a week's vacation next. Where are you going to go?" Tony looked at Wayne. Because the training schedule was very tight, there was not much time to rest at all.

Come back in a week, it's already the end of April, and trials will start in early June.

It seems like two months, but in fact time is tight.

Wayne feels like he's back to those days of training hard just to be a starter before the season starts.

"I want to go home this week."

"China?"

"Um."

Wayne nodded. He was going to participate in the draft anyway, so it was better to go home.

Let the family feel at ease.

And whether Wayne gets used to it or not, he has to get used to it.

Slowly accept your new family.

"Well, then let me go home too. After I go back this time, I don't know when I will be free." Tony also nodded in agreement.

In this way, the two young men from Ohio temporarily started their short vacation.

NCAA players can rest, but NBA players now face the most exciting moment of the season - the playoffs!

On April 14, as the Pacers defeated the Chicago Bulls 101-96 at home, they officially achieved the best record in team history with 61 wins in the regular season this season!

This also means that the Pacers will enter the playoffs as the league's No. 1 team.

Reggie Miller is full of ambition, and he has never been more of a championship prospect.

He has Artest, one of the best three-position players in the league, Jermaine O'Neal, third in the MVP rankings, and Rick Carlisle, a reliable coach.

He firmly believes that the Pacers can continue to be invincible in the playoffs!

The Trail Blazers, who failed to enter the playoffs, have no time to be sad about the interruption of their consecutive playoff record.

They have devoted themselves wholeheartedly to strengthening and preparing for the draft.

The playoffs are about to begin, but Wayne and Tony have no intention of watching.

A week later, they ended their vacation and started training in "Hell Mode".

Especially Wayne, who needs to gain weight, has a greater training volume and stricter dietary requirements than Teacher Tony.

How much you eat a day, what you eat, how many meals you eat, and when you eat are all controlled by the trainer.

The days of sweating to make yourself stronger begin again.

Wayne and various NBA teams are like two parallel lines. There is currently no connection, and they are all busy with their own affairs.

But their fates will begin to intersect quietly.

Wayne's growth points are also growing crazily towards the number required for upgrades.
