Superstar Athletes’ Black Tech Systems

After reaching an agreement with Ryan West, Li Liang returned to the PNY Center in the afternoon and told Max that he would withdraw from the afternoon trial training.

The content of the trial training in the afternoon is mainly shooting training and tactical joint training, and then there will be a confrontation match tomorrow morning, and a psychological test in the afternoon, and it will be over.

Max was busy coordinating affairs in the morning and didn't pay much attention to Li Liang's performance.

He thought that after the trial training in the morning, Li Liang realized that his ability was not enough to gain a foothold in the NBA, so he quit.

Max patted Li Liang on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, everyone should find their own path."

Li Liang knew that Max had misunderstood him, so he didn't say anything, he just thanked him and left.

Not long after Li Liang left, before the trial training in the afternoon, several scouts found that Li Liang was missing from the rookie team.

They found Max and asked about Li Liang's situation, why he disappeared.

"Bruce Lee? He's gone, quit the trial training, and he seems to have a more accurate understanding of himself."

"Oh, damn it, someone must have taken the lead." These scouts knew that someone must have contacted Li Liang and asked him to quit the training camp and go to the team for trial training.

These people shook their heads helplessly, comforting themselves in their hearts. He was just an ordinary small forward with good defense and a Chinese, so it was no big deal.

Indeed, they quickly put Li Liang behind them and focused on other rookies.

After all, they only felt that Li Liang had potential that could be tapped, but they hadn't reached the point where they had to choose him

If you lose this opportunity, you will lose it.

After Li Liang left the PNY Center, he and Wei Dazhi drove back to Zhu Shu's apartment in Queens.

On the way, Wei Dazhi still couldn't hide his excitement. While imagining Li Liang's situation after going to the Los Angeles Lakers, he planned his own reporter route.

Facing the noisy Wei Dazhi, Li Liang remained silent all the way, just leaning his head to look at the scenery.

He is still weighing whether it is safe for him to quit the training camp and choose the Lakers for trial training. Of course, there are risks, but it must be a lie to say that the Los Angeles Lakers are not attractive.

Passing through Manhattan, the car passed by Madison Square Garden.

Seeing the famous circular stadium, Li Liang thought, one month later, he must be on the NBA stage here.

Back at the loft of the apartment in Queens, Li Liang saw Bai Xiaoting's car parked downstairs.

Both Zhu Shu and Bai Xiaoting came back, they were packing things in the room, and they were surprised to see Li Liang and Wei Dazhi come back.

"Didn't you go to the training camp? Why, failed, eliminated?" Bai Xiaoting asked.

"Hmph, Da Zhi, tell them why we came back early."

Wei Dazhi said proudly: "Ahem, after a wonderful performance in the morning, student Gan Liliang... no, Mr. Bruce Lee, has successfully impressed the famous scout of the famous NBA team Los Angeles Lakers, the famous NBA star Jerry- West!'s son. Who... hey, Li Liang, what's the name of that scout?"

"Ryan West!"

"Yes, Ryan West paid attention, and then successfully got a trial invitation from the Los Angeles Lakers. As a condition, he will withdraw from this rookie training camp, so we will come back."

Wei Dazhi spoke triumphantly, as if he was the one doing the trial training.

Bai Xiaoting listened, snorted, and said nothing.

Zhu Shu was a little surprised and congratulated Li Liang for getting the opportunity to try out.

From her expression, it can be seen that she is sincere.

Li Liang asked: "Then what are you doing, are you packing up and moving away?"

Zhu Shu's expression darkened, and she said: "Well, my house is for short-term rent. I wanted to see if I could find a suitable job, but now it seems that I can't. So I plan to move to Aunt Xiaoting's house temporarily. We will make plans for the next step later.”

Li Liang said: "No, you don't need to go to Aunt Bai Xiaoting's house, you will follow me from now on. From now on, you will be my manager."

Zhu Shu showed an incredulous expression, and Bai Xiaoting said, "Li Liang, don't be joking, Zhu Shu didn't agree to you yesterday, and besides, you were not selected, it was just a trial training."

Li Liangdao: "I mentioned it more than once, is it interesting to keep making jokes..."

Zhu Shu was a little embarrassed and said, "But Li Liang, I don't know anything about the work of NBA agents."

Li Liangdao: "You can learn if you don't understand, and it's not difficult to learn. You can understand legal texts, can you communicate with people? You are studying accounting, but I know you have always wanted to be a graduate student in law. It’s a big tome, much more complicated than NBA contracts and terms.”

Li Liang didn't let Zhu Shu be his agent on a whim, he had his considerations and ideas.

In terms of personality, Zhu Shu is relatively introverted, not good at communicating with others, and she is still a girl.

Doesn't look like a sports agent at all.

Wei Dazhi, on the other hand, seemed to have the potential to be a manager.

Li Liang didn't think so.

What Li Liang wanted was an exclusive agent, and he didn't want to waste too much time and energy on signing the contract.

Generally, brokers would toss and toss little mosquito meat like Li Liang for that little commission, but Li Liang didn't need it.

Wei Dazhi is lively and sociable, and he is good at press conferences.

But if he is Li Liang's manager, let alone his ability to read professional English legal terms, his easily influenced and dominated character can annoy Li Liang to death.

On the contrary, Zhu Shu, a novice who starts from scratch, will encounter some troubles, but she will never toss Li Liang.

With her learning ability and legal and financial knowledge background, negotiating contracts is a breeze.

Then, Li Liang communicated more ideas with Zhu Shu, telling her that the NBA is not without female agents, and female agents can be successful as well.

Li Liang's words were very deceptive, and Zhu Shu was a little shaken by what he said.

At this time, Bai Xiaoting stood up and said, "Then what good is it to you if you let Zhu Shu be your agent? Zhu Shu has no experience, and you may not be able to enter the NBA. Why don't you find someone with rich experience?" Your agent can help you?"

Bai Xiaoting's question mentioned the point, and Comey also knows the ball.

Li Liangdao: "That's right, letting Zhu Shu be my manager is not beneficial in the short term, or even beneficial. But in the long run, I need a manager like her, and someone like Wei Dazhi." Friends of the media."

Bai Xiaoting said, "I don't understand."

Li Liangdao: "Bai Xiaoting, let me ask you, your aunt lives in the wealthy area of ​​Long Island, does she really become the upper class in New York?"

Li Liang's words made Bai Xiaoting fall into silence.

Her aunt and uncle have been engaged in the financial and advertising industry for many years, and they have invested in shares and dividends, earning millions of dollars a year, and they are considered successful people among Chinese Americans.

Their villas in Long Island are worth tens of millions of dollars, and their living conditions are quite affluent.

But Bai Xiaoting knew that in Long Island, aunts and uncles were not truly upper class.

The real upper classes are the political families in New England, the tech upstarts on the West Coast, the industrial trusts in the Midlands, and the old farmers in the South.

The yellow-skinned and black-haired Chinese are worthy of the title of "rich man" if they are the top in the United States.

It's like the great Gatsby, who turned out to be just an upstart.

"Then what do you mean, do you want to become a real aristocrat in the United States?" Bai Xiaoting asked.

"Of course not. I'm not interested in nobles or anything. I just hope that by my side, my compatriots, friends, can do something, have a better life, and have achievements worth mentioning. The NBA is a Where I can change the fate of people, I can do it, and so can you.

I know that all of us have retreats behind us. I can sell tractors with my dad, Zhu Shu and Wei Dazhi can go back to China and find good jobs, and you don’t need to talk about Bai Xiaoting. But a retreat is a retreat. If a person does not want to move forward, how can he retreat? And who wants to start preparing to retreat without going further?

I don't know what will happen in the future, but I know that I want to go on this road, and it's not enough for me alone. I need partners, I need friends, I need people who trust me like you and I trust. "

Li Liang stood in the center of the attic, his eyes were burning, and when he said these words, his whole body seemed to emit a layer of brilliance.

That is the brilliance of the idealist, but also the brilliance of ambition.

Of course, there is also a strong desire to survive that does not want to sell tractors.

Li Liang showed his unique side, which made the three of them feel a little strange.

They looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

As a young man who still has ideals in life, Li Liang's words really touched his heartstrings.

A good life, leaping between classes, belonging to one's own upper-class circle, which young people who have just entered society don't yearn for it?

It's just that this society is very cruel. For many people, the end of their runway is just the starting line for some people.

The same is true in the United States, if not more so.

To break through this barrier, there are a few narrow passages.

Professional sports is certainly one of them.

The few of them did have a way out, but as Li Liang said, who would start preparing to retreat without taking a step forward?

Even the most incompetent and weak people have had fragile and beautiful dreams of success.

As Li Liang's friend, Wei Dazhi was immediately persuaded, saying: "You are right, the Chinese always have a ceiling in the United States, why, because the Chinese are not united! Why do those Indians form cliques? We The Chinese are always told that one person is a dragon, and a group of people is a worm. Look at those black players, find their buddies and friends as managers, and make trendy brand records, why can’t we Chinese!"

What Wei Dazhi said is correct. Many black players in the NBA are drafted, and they all rise to heaven by themselves.

Friends around them stepped into the sports circle one after another, as managers, businessmen, and socializers purely for eating, drinking and having fun.

Anyway, relying on the NBA, they got rid of poverty and the bottom of society.

They huddled together to keep warm, and used the influence of the NBA to let themselves live a better life.

And most of the Chinese seem to be working diligently and diligently forever, saving a little money, but they will inevitably be bullied.

"Chinese people are not united, Chinese people are good at fighting among themselves," such a label is hard for the Chinese themselves to deny.

But not all Chinese and Chinese think and act like this.

Many of them love their countrymen and their homeland.

This is the case for Li Liang. During his four years at the University of Kentucky, he never shy away from his identity as a Chinese student.

Especially on the basketball court, he will always take the initiative to tell people that he is Chinese.

The Chinese are also very good at playing basketball. Beginning with Wang Zhizhi, Battelle, Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, Sun Yue, and the Chinese Jeremy Lin, they all proved themselves to some extent on the court.

Li Liang believes that he can be the next one, and he is an excellent one.

"Dazhi is right. We should unite. You have to trust me, and you have to trust yourself. Moreover, it is very easy to be my agent. The income is not low, the time is free, the workload is small, and there is no delay. You play games. There is no better job in the world. How about it, promise me." Li Liang looked at Zhu Shu with burning eyes, and after talking about his ideals, he began to seduce her with treatment.

Zhu Shu sorted out her mood. In fact, she had already been persuaded.

Although it is a good choice to go to Bai Xiaoting's aunt's house, it is ultimately dependent on others.

Now that she has such an opportunity, it seems unreliable, but she is willing to trust Li Liang.

Zhu Shu trusts Li Liang, ever since he took him to dance at the ball, she has trusted him a lot.

Zhu Shu nodded vigorously and said, "Okay, I promise you to be your manager."

"Okay! Yes! Great!"

Seeing that Li Liang had persuaded Zhu Shu, he felt that he had taken another step toward his goal.

Both Wei Dazhi and Zhu Shu seemed very happy, only Bai Xiaoting was silent.

Li Liang said to Bai Xiaoting: "Hey Bai Xiaoting, how about you quit your job in the advertising company and help me with advertising?"

Bai Xiaoting snorted coldly: "Don't be too happy too early, you entered the NBA, you don't have a horoscope, who knows what will happen? Besides, can you afford my salary? And my daily expenses? Where do I live? Huh? Where do you want to work? How do you sign a contract with you? Besides, how many years can you play on the basketball court? Can you guarantee my long career?"

Li Liang was left speechless by Bai Xiaoting's question, so he could only give a thumbs up and said, "See, this is a profession!"

In fact, Li Liang has considered all these issues, but everything has to wait for him to be elected in the draft and sign a contract.

"Bai Xiaoting, after I sign the contract, if you don't want to work in an advertising company, come to me. I will let you have something to do."

"Just brag! It makes you want to be the president and form a cabinet, and you have started to be crowned kings and knights..."

Bai Xiaoting's sarcastic words hit Li Liang at once.

He frowned, and thought of an important thing in his mind: "By the way, President, I'm going to see the President! I almost forgot about it!"
