Chapter 62 The NBA Stage of the System(2/3)
As for how to use Lin Xing? Such a talented player, as long as he gives the ball to him, it is the best way to use it.
Look at Long Beach head coach Seth Greenberg, who is unknown and can be used so well!
Then cross the entire United States and arrive at the city of friendship Philadelphia.
76ers general manager Jim Linham suddenly felt very grateful that he sent Charles Barkley away before this season.
Now, the 76ers have one of the worst in the league.
The probability of them winning the No. 1 pick is very high, but they still need to make more money.
Orlando, John Gabriel asked the shark again—
"Okay Shaq, NCAA is over, now, what's your choice?"
"Star Lin..."
The shark did not hesitate, but soon, he reiterated the old story:
"I always think you are teasing me, John, you asked me to choose this and that, but the problem is that we can't get the No. 1 pick in our record!"
"I can't get the No. 1 pick? This is not necessarily the case. Don't worry, Shaq, let Stah fly for a while!"
Super Dome, Lin Xing held the trophy.
He didn't know that after this game, the NBA had gone crazy for him.
Teams like the Kings and 76ers have a bad record, and now they want to make the record worse.
Teams like the Lakers and Magic, which have a record of not being as good as the top and bottom, are also considering whether to fall into the lottery zone and win a low probability of winning the No. 1 pick.
The little butterfly is already flapping its wings, and the changes in history are at this moment.
Lin Xing must be the top scorer, but the top scorer may not be a magic trick anymore.
But Lin Xing had no time to think about all this, because at this moment, his eyes had been filled with Lin's father and mother who suddenly appeared at the player's passage and stared at him from afar.
...
"Dan Smith really said, Michael Jordan is going to retire?"
"Then can there be fake? The media are reporting on this now."
"But why did he retire at this time? There is no reason. Could it be that Dean Smith is talking nonsense?"
"Nonsense? Gary, stop being naive. Dean Smith is Michael Jordan's college mentor. Others may talk nonsense, but he can't."
“It would be surprising and surprising if what Dean Smith said was true…”
Time is already the third day after Long Beach School won the championship.
The 49ers returned to Long Beach on the second day of the championship.
A grand championship parade was held on the streets of Long Beach.
Afterwards, Lin Xing waved goodbye to Long Beach and returned to Los Angeles.
In Los Angeles, Gary Payton tied the bridge and met Aaron Goodwin, who was just starting out in agent affairs.
Since he has decided to participate in the draft, now he has to prepare for the NBA draft in more than two months.
Signing a contract with an agent is the first step.
Sitting in a cafe in Los Angeles, Lin Xing listened to the discussion between Payton and Aaron Goodwin.
As Aaron Goodwin said, North Carolina head coach Dean Smith leaked a piece of information, which directly hit the headlines of major media in North America.
Even the popularity of Long Beach's winning of the NCAA championship was greatly suppressed.
"Okay, it's time for us to get to the point."
Aaron Goodwin turned his head and looked at Lin Xing who was sitting aside and was silent.
"I know, Stah, maybe in your opinion, I'm not a big agent, and there's a big gap with David Falke and Arn Trem.
But as long as you choose me, I can guarantee that this summer, I will make you the most commercially valuable rookie in NBA history."
As an agent, it is all about developing the business value of players.
Lin Xing touched his chin: "For example?"
"For example, in a month, you can see a sky-high sneaker endorsement contract from Nike or Adidas."
Aaron Goodwin was very confident, but Lin Xing shook his head unexpectedly:
"Not enough, Aaron, don't miss me. With my current momentum and my dunks, I can get a sky-high sneaker contract even without an agent."
"What about two or three worthy endorsements?"
Aaron Goodwin continued to describe the advantages he has in commercial development,
“I have a good relationship with Yadley Star Card Company, and Coca-Cola Company.
As long as you sign with me, I can make you the spokesperson for Yadley Star Card and Coca-Cola.”
He was full of confidence, but unexpectedly, Lin Xing shook his head again.
"Obviously, Aaron, you don't know me, so you don't know what I want."
Aaron Goodwin frowned. In his opinion, isn’t this group of basketball players seeking various advertising endorsements and the huge amount of US dollars brought by these endorsements?
Why is Stalin different from others?
"Well, Stah, what do you want?"
"What I want is a broker who will never exceed the rules. All commercial developments must be approved by me.
And, to maintain a flexibility, I’m only willing to sign a two-year brokerage agency contract at most.”
Short-term contracts and various restrictions on brokers' power.
This is what Lin Xing wants.
He doesn't want his agent to over-control his basketball career, and he doesn't really believe in these black and white agents in the United States.
Especially in the context of the 1990s, discrimination is everywhere.
No matter what, Lin Xing has to keep a hand.
Aaron Goodwin frowned, and hesitated at first glance.
Lin Xing didn't urge him. Anyway, Goodwin didn't want to do it, but some agents were willing.
To put it bluntly, Lin Xing is now locked in the top scorer, and it is the same whether there are any agents or not.
Signing a dealer is just to increase the upper limit.
What is the upper limit?
At this time, the NBA has not yet imposed many restrictions on the contracts of rookie players.
In theory, Lin Xing could sign a sky-high rookie contract after being selected.
Just like next year's draft, after becoming the No. 1 pick, Glenn Robinson asked for a contract worth 100 million yuan.
Although it failed in the end, it also signed a 10-year, $68 million contract for the largest rookie in history.
Lin Xing did not learn the idea of Big Dog, but he also needed a professional agent to help him negotiate a rookie contract that suits his value.
After a moment, Goodwin made the decision.
"Ok, two-year contract, broker's award is calculated based on the most basic 4% and 20%. I will take action for all commercial development actions and advertising endorsements after obtaining your consent."
With this sentence, Lin Xing had no doubts.
He stretched out his right hand: "Then you'll be happy to cooperate!"
...
After signing the broker agreement, the group and the three of them separated.
Gary Payton is going back to Seattle, and the NBA regular season is coming to an end. As the supersonic main controller, he is indispensable.
Aaron Goodwin started his work directly, and before leaving Los Angeles, he had a conversation with Lin Xing.
Afterwards, he contacted a Nike executive to discuss the next record-breaking rookie sneakers contract for Lin Xing.
As for Lin Xing, he went home and had dinner with Lin's father and mother who no longer opposed him playing basketball.
Then in the evening, I went to Mr. Qin's house for a while.
Finally, lying in his small room, he entered the system.
The system is about to enter the next stage. Lin Xing really wants to know what the difference will be in the NBA stage system.
【End the NCAA phase?】
Looking at the button in the system, Lin Xing pressed it without hesitation.
Then, the system interface began to shake sharply, the picture in front of me was broken and reorganized, and finally a brand new interface appeared.
[The host's NCAA phase has ended and the system is settled...]
Settlement?
To be continued...
