legendary point guard

[Second update at 6pm.]

——

Lin Sen's thoughts were interrupted by the ringtone of his mobile phone. It showed an unfamiliar number. Lin Sen's first thought was to refuse to answer the call, because these days he has been completely annoyed by those who have taken the initiative to call and seek to be his agent.

Already.

Out of courtesy, Lin Sen answered the call, but he didn't give the other party a chance to speak.

"Sorry, I don't know who you are? If you are here to ask me to consider finding an agent, I think you can hang up."

There was laughter on the other end of the phone, which surprised Lin Sen.

"It seems it's not what I thought." Lin Sen thought, "I'm sorry, I thought you were here to recommend me to be a doctor..."

Before Lin Sen could finish his words, he was interrupted by an old voice on the other end of the phone.

"I'm an agent, but I think you might want to listen to what I have to say, maybe it can impress you."

Lin Sen smiled. He thought he was already thick-skinned, but he didn't expect that the person on the other end of the phone was even thicker-skinned than him.

He had already said this. If the voice on the other end of the phone hadn't been that of an elder, Lin Sen would never have been polite.

"I don't want to hear anything. I'm still thinking about it. If I think about it..."

"Would you consider calling me? I used to do that many times a day. My name is David Falk."

The name Lin Sen felt very familiar.

"David Falk? The David Falk who can influence the NBA?"

"Yes, if it's fake, I don't think many people would be willing to pretend to be an old guy like me."

Laughter came from the other end of the phone again, and Lin Sen's head was pounding.

David Falk, this is a name familiar to everyone who is familiar with the NBA. He is one of the strongest agents in the NBA.

At his peak, he was a "super agent" who managed many superstars such as Jordan, Ewing, Mourning, Stockton, Mutombo, and O'Neal.

He helped many players sign super contracts. In the 1990s, he was the most influential figure in the entire league besides Stern.

"Why don't you believe it? I can't think of anyone who would be willing to pretend to be me. If you don't mind that we can meet tomorrow, maybe I will change your mind."

After a brief exchange, the two decided where to meet tomorrow.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Sen still couldn't believe that it was David Falke who approached him on his own initiative, even though David Falke today is no longer what he was ten years ago.

Lin Sen's home is located in the center of New York. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of his home, you can see Madison Square Garden, the mecca of basketball.

Since going to Wake Forest, Lin Sen rarely goes home except for holidays, because Lin Sen is afraid of being alone.

For him, letting himself indulge himself is undoubtedly a good way to make him forget the pain. This is the real reason why he indulges himself.

But others don't know, so his indulgence makes him questionable, and no one can imagine a person's loneliness.

The nightmares of childhood, the short-term happiness, and the impact of everything made him extremely afraid of loneliness.

Walking into the bedroom, the bookshelf in the bedroom is full of books of all types. Every time Chris Paul and his teammates come to his house, they will laugh hard.

Lying on the bed and picking up a book next to me, my thoughts drifted back to the night I almost died a year ago.

After his physical recovery, he obviously felt that his physical fitness was better than before.

He once thought about why, but couldn't come to a conclusion. In the end, he attributed his improvement to growth.

The next day Lin Sen met the man who called himself David Falk on the phone in a cafe in Manhattan, New York.

"How about it? Am I an imposter?" David Falk said with a smile.

Lin Sen smiled and said nothing. Falk felt that he could not understand the young man in front of him.

He is obviously young and energetic, but there always seems to be an indescribable feeling, which is as elusive as his style on the court.

"What is your ideal?"

"Ideal?" Lin Sen looked at Falke.

"Uh-huh!" Falk nodded.

"I used to just want to play happily, have a happy family, and bring a championship to the fans who love me."

"So what now?" Falk sat up straight and looked at the boy in front of him.

"Now I want to enjoy basketball, enjoy life and make my parents in heaven feel relieved." Lin Sen smiled, and the sunlight through the cafe window made his face look even brighter, "David, do you think I can?"

?”

David Falk was puzzled by Lin Sen's words.

"Enjoy basketball? I have heard many people say this, including Michael, but that was when he came back for the last time. This is not the mentality a young man should have."

"Okay, David!"

Lin Sen looked at Falk and said seriously: "Perhaps it is only after experiencing death that you feel that living is so good. Since you are alive, you should enjoy it, right? Engage in your favorite career and pursue the best life."

"Yes, maybe because you have experienced death, I believe you will be better in the future. You have done a great job this season. Your performance tells everyone your value. I can make you better and make you better."

You can enjoy basketball with peace of mind, and I believe you can become the next Michael."

Falk shrugged: "Of course this is an expectation. I think you should know that it may be difficult in terms of football skills, but I guarantee you can do it off the court. You have a face that makes women can't help but commit crimes."

Hearing Falk's words, Lin Sen smiled: "Can I understand that this is your compliment on my appearance?"

"certainly!"

"Why choose me? I don't have a good reputation. If you ask me to change my style..."

"No! No! No!" David Falk interrupted Lin Sen.

"I never think you need to change your style of doing things. Those moralists can go to hell. In my opinion, you just need to be the most authentic you. Of course, the most basic requirement is not to let women affect your belt.

Besides, I don’t think I have any worries about your professionalism. You will definitely become the most eye-catching guy on the field, and of course I think you will become even better with me joining you.”

Falk looked at Lin Sen. He believed that he could impress Lin Sen.

Staring into Lin Sen's eyes, Falk tried to find something. When he saw Lin Sen's eyes after pondering for a while, he knew he had succeeded.

"You impressed me. It's a pleasure to work with you."

Lin Sen stood up and stretched out his hand. When Falk stretched out his hand, a smile appeared on his lips: "David, I believe you are not a vampire."

Hearing Lin Sen's words, David Falk almost fell to the ground and held Lin Sen's hand.

"Of course, my agent contract will definitely satisfy you. This is a win-win situation. I want those damn guys to know that I am still the guy who can influence the NBA. My era has not passed and will never be until I die.

when."

Falk's eyes were full of determination, and the two men with intentions came together, which convinced Lin Sen that he had made the right decision.

Lin Sen sat down and looked at the contract carefully. Lin Sen had done work in this area before and was a legal major himself, so he could distinguish these contracts clearly.

The contract given by Falk is indeed very good. He only takes 5% commission for each contract, which is the lowest among broker contracts.

When Lin Sen signed his name on the contract, David Falk officially became Lin Sen's agent.

"Okay, now you are my employer, here are the working hours."

Falke handed over one contract to Lin Sen and kept one himself.

"Everyone knows your value, Chris Paul became the future of New Orleans, and your year at Wake Forest proved that you can too, but college and the NBA are not the same level. It's like being underage."

There are differences between people and the adult world, but I believe that just because you can adapt does not mean that you can be recognized by those picky uniform staff."

Time passed quickly. In the afterglow of the sun, David Falke and Lin Sen reached a consensus in their first discussion. Falke would select the team for Lin Sen's trial training.

"Lin, your characteristics are very obvious. Although you are now known as the first guard in the NCAA, you should know your strengths and weaknesses."

Falk glanced at Lin Sen and continued: "Strong control ability, a big heart, the courage to attack the inside, a wide vision, and decisive outside shots. These are your advantages, but your shortcomings are equally obvious. Your steal data makes you

You seem to be very defensive, but most of your steal data comes from gambling steals. I can see Allen's figure in you. For the front office, this is not what they like. What's more deadly is your midfielder.

Shooting from distance is terrible. The NBA is not the NCAA. Those old guys are going to force you to shoot the mid-range shot. If you want to be great you have to change your mid-range shot."

Lin Sen listened carefully. Lin Sen was very clear about his shortcomings, but he had been practicing but the results were not good. This made many experts think that he lacked the will to win.

"Lin, not every talented player can achieve ideal career results. A suitable team, a good coach, and an ideal management are all key factors in whether a player can achieve success. According to your

Characteristics: I personally think these teams are more suitable for you. The order is not an important issue. Suitability is the most important thing."

As he spoke, Falk flipped a page from the folder in his hand and pushed it towards Lin Sen.

Lin Sen took the folder and looked at it carefully. It contained analyzes from Falk himself and some well-known scouting experts.

"Your style of play is destined to make some teams not suitable for you. In fact, in my opinion, Phoenix or Oakland are undoubtedly the best, but unfortunately they don't need you, and this is not a guard year, except for your predictions

The best point guard outside of the high draft pick is Marcus Williams of the University of Connecticut, but the fatal thing is that the thirst for traditional guards among teams in the lottery has never been as light as this summer. Of course,

You're different and I'll bet my underwear there are a bunch of teams willing to take a chance on you."

David Falk waved his fist: "Because you deserve that. The Heat, Celtics, Cavaliers in the East, Lakers, Nuggets, and Timberwolves in the West all need an excellent defender to complete the future they want.

"

Listening to Falk's words, Lin Sen carefully looked at the lines on the page, which contained the analysis of each team, and also rated the stars suitable for Lin Sen to join the team. Among them, Kyle

The Celtics and Timberwolves were rated five stars.
