NBA: This Center Is So Stable

The first time, the second time.

Chapter 24 The humble Knicks president can’t think of a reason to refuse

“The game is over, the North Carolina Wolfpack won the divisional finals and advanced to the national semi-finals.”

···

Just as Bai Yang was about to end his perfect premiere, he suddenly saw an emergency on the broadcast screen.

The focus of the finals, Wang Song, was suddenly surrounded from left to right by three big men of different shapes.

“Damn it, brothers, Wang Song is surrounded! Violence on the court?”

——【Host, are you sure you are not kidding? 】

——【According to Wang Song’s speed in the game just now, it should be difficult for him to be blocked if he wants to run in such a large stadium. 】

——【As expected of Carmelo Anthony, a social melon! If you can’t win the game, then beat someone up. 】

——【The Syracuse University fans who haven’t left the scene are so happy. Isn’t this more interesting than playing basketball? 】

···

Bai Yang didn’t notice the crazy comments in the live broadcast room.

After a closer look, he apologized and explained.

“Sorry, I misread the brothers. It’s not a fight. It seems to be scouts. Wang Song was surrounded by scouts.”

“But it’s a bit strange. Why is Carmelo Anthony of Syracuse University so quiet? I think he played well in this game, right? He sat in the player’s seat without saying a word, as if waiting for the scouts to find him.”

——【Xiao Wang is so powerful. Three scouts surrounded him at once. If you don’t know, you might think he was the top pick. 】

——【How are you talking to my brother Wang? Xiao Wang today? Big Wang! Wang Zha! 】

——【Does Anthony really think he is a candidate for the top pick? On the surface, he scored the highest points in the game, but his true shooting percentage was so bad. I am a scout. After watching today’s game, the scout report will definitely deduct points from him and kick him out of the green room. 】

——[Anthony in the corner: Who the hell is the quasi-No. 1 pick? 】

······

On the scene.

“Wang Song, who is this?”

After introducing himself, Zhong Yuan looked at the Knicks duo with a hint of doubt on his face.

The other party looked more business-like in a suit than himself.

He looked at his outfit today, casual POLO dark jeans, a little too casual.

Just the image alone has lost a lot to the other party.

Fortunately, he and his compatriots have the blessing of this identity, and he must seize this point to reverse the disadvantage of his image.

Until the other party introduced himself, Zhong Yuan’s eyes became a little dull.

“Wang Song, Nihao!”

I don’t know what kind of interest he was in.

As soon as Scott Layden walked up to Wang Song, he suddenly spoke two Chinese words.

Grunfeld was a little confused and could only smile awkwardly.

“Hello!”

After returning the other party’s native language, Wang Song replied in fluent English:

“I can communicate in English.

If you have anything to say, please feel free to say it.”

Wang Song looked at the white man with glasses in front of him who had a good temperament. He didn’t look like he had Chinese blood!

Why did he suddenly speak Chinese?

“My name is Scott Layden, I came from New York, and I am the current president of the Knicks! This is our scout director… Ernie Grunfeld.”

Scott briefly introduced himself and Grunfeld next to him.

“Is this your friend? We want to find a place to talk to you about the NBA draft.”

Scott Layden was very direct, without any detours, and got straight to the point without any nonsense.

Directly stated the intention of coming to Wang Song.

Even if Zhong Yuan is really a scout of another team, the Knicks will do everything in their power to win this Asian center.

Before Wang Song opened his mouth to answer.

Zhong Yuan on the side suddenly felt a big shock in his heart, especially when he heard the other party’s identity.

His eyes widened.

He did homework on Wang Song’s background before the game.

Wang Song has not yet disclosed his career plan after the end of his freshman season.

In theory, Wang Song should not have any related commercial endorsements.

But the Knicks president came to the Eastern Conference Finals and found Wang Song directly to talk face to face.

This was somewhat unexpected.

“Could it be that this little guy has already made arrangements with the New York Knicks in private?

Draft agreement, early signing? ”

After all, the president of an NBA team personally went to the door of an NCAA freshman.

For most people, that is simply a fantasy!

As a senior sports media person, Zhong Yuan has never heard of such a thing.

This is a bit too magical!

What kind of player can do it, just a few games to play a famous NBA team general manager to come to the scene to observe.

However, Zhong Yuan quickly confirmed the relationship between the two parties. It was obvious that the two met for the first time.

Scott Layden took out his business card very sincerely and handed it to Wang Song.

His scorching eyes looking at Wang Song were exposed nakedly in front of everyone.

Not only Zhong Yuan saw it, but many media and fans around the venue also caught a glimpse of this scene.

“Alas, it seems that today’s endorsement matters will not be discussed for a while. ”

He sighed silently in his heart and simply told Wang Song the general situation.

After leaving his contact information, Zhong Yuan left the venue and left time to the Knicks duo.

He also knew very well.

Wang Song, who was favored by the NBA team, could not impress the other party to be a brand spokesperson with just a few words.

That would require real money!

Besides.

Today, Zhong Yuan also saw Wang Song’s prospects at the scene.

He not only won the favor of the New York Knicks, but even the Knicks president had to respect him. , and treat him as a guest of honor.

You know, the team president is the team executive who is qualified to make the final decision on the draft results.

Maybe he will directly promise a first-round pick to Wang Song, a freshman, and enter the NBA at the age of 19.

Thinking of this, Zhong Yuan left the venue with a little melancholy.

He can already foresee that signing Wang Song will become more and more difficult as time goes by.

However, thinking that with the increase in Wang Song’s popularity after the signing, the prospects of New Fox Sports are also quite impressive.

Zhong Yuan was relieved!

“We must hurry up!”

···

Zhong Yuan’s departure created enough time for the Knicks duo and Wang Song to communicate.

And the Knicks duo also went straight to the point.

At the beginning, Scott Layden showed his sincerity.

“Wang Song, after the NCAA this year, will you consider bringing your talent to the NBA? You can consider our Knicks. We will complete the team reorganization this summer, and our goal next year is the Eastern Conference Finals. ”

“You will have the opportunity to sit in the green room at the draft, and the Knicks will sign you with the first-round pick. I can guarantee this… I guarantee it with the personality of the Knicks president.”

“Or we can sign a first-round pick agreement first, as long as you are willing.”

Grunfield dared to guarantee it.

Since he started working at the Knicks, he had never heard such an earnest tone from his boss.

In front of this Asian boy, Scott Layden, the president of the Knicks, who would shake the floor with his stomping feet, seemed a little humble at this time!

Grunfield could not think of any reason for the other party to refuse.

Just in the freshman stage, he could receive a personal invitation from the president of an NBA team.

Even the favorites in the draft were no more than this.

You know how many NCAA players find it very difficult to get a tryout spot for an NBA team through various means.

But Grunfield did not express any arrogance.

After all, the boss’s attitude was so low.
