"This summer, you must be fully prepared. Don't relax after entering the NBA and work hard to improve yourself." McClop solemnly reminded.
He didn't want to see his disciples disappear from the crowd because of slacking off after entering the NBA.
The competitive pressure of playing professional basketball is extremely fierce.
If you fail to make progress, you will only be replaced by those who come after you and will be eliminated.
"Coach, don't worry, we will be ready."
Sun Yi and the other three nodded and answered in unison.
"Since you have announced your candidacy, you must find an agent to help you handle your affairs. Have you found one?"
"Don't look for an agent randomly. He will have a great influence on your career."
"If you haven't found one yet, I can recommend a few people to you."
McClop is not worried about Curry. He said this to Sun Yi and Whiteside.
Curry was the first to answer, saying that his father helped him choose his agent.
"I have received many invitations from agents, and I will go to meet Jeff Schwartz tomorrow." Sun Yi said.
Whiteside on the side looked confused, he had no plan at all.
McClop saw that Sun Yi and Curry had their own plans, so he stopped caring and gave Whiteside some suggestions.
After finishing his instructions, McClop waved his hand and asked Sun Yi and others to leave the office.
On the way back, Sun Yi asked Da Bai Bian.
"Hassan, do you want to sign with the same agent as me?"
"Is it really possible? Will I be favored?" Whiteside said unconfidently.
"I don't know either. After I finish talking with Mr. Schwartz tomorrow, I will ask you. If there is any news, I will tell you as soon as possible."
"Sun, you are really my good brother, so I'll leave it to you."
"You're welcome, this may not happen yet. It won't be too late for you to thank me after it happens."
After the discussion, Sun Yi and Dabaibian returned to the dormitory and each went back to their own rooms to sleep and rest.
The next day, Schwartz arrived in front of Davidson College in advance and called Sun Yi.
He did not go to the agreed place, but came to the door in person to show his sincerity.
Not long after, Sun Yi came to the school gate and saw Schwartz.
"Hello, Sun, I'm glad you can take the time to come see me." Schwartz was the first to say hello to Sun Yi.
"Hello, Mr. Schwartz, thank you very much for coming to pick me up in person." Sun Yi replied politely.
After greetings, Sun Yi followed Schwartz into a car.
After a while, the car arrived at the cafe that had been reserved in advance.
Sun Yi walked into the cafe and found that it was very quiet. There was no customer. He guessed what was going on.
"Mr. Schwartz, there is actually no need to spend such money."
Sun Yi was a little touched by Schwartz's lavish spending, which showed that Schwartz valued himself very much.
"Actually, it doesn't cost much. I like to negotiate in a quiet place. I hope you don't mind. If you are not satisfied, we can change the place." Schwartz said calmly.
It felt like he spent a few cents and didn't care at all.
"I'm very satisfied, so there's no need to change places." Sun Yi replied.
It's not like you're spending your own money anyway, so there's nothing to feel bad about.
After sitting down, Schwartz asked the waiter to order two cups of coffee and some snacks, and then got straight to the point.
"Sun, I won't waste any more time. You should know why I'm here. I'm very optimistic about your strength and the market behind you, and I hope to reach cooperation with you."
"Mr. Schwartz, I want to hear what benefits you can bring to me." Sun Yi also said straight to the point.
"Sun, you are a very motivated player with great potential. I am very optimistic about your development prospects in the NBA.
In business, I am very confident that I can maximize your business value and make your career smooth sailing.
Take the following draft as an example, I will use all resources to promote you and further improve your draft pick.
You just need to focus on the game and training, and you can leave all the trivial matters off the field to me."
Schwartz saw Sun Yi's interested look, thought it was interesting, and continued:
"I will not force my players to do anything. I prefer to respect the wishes of the players and seek their best interests on the basis of respecting the wishes of my customers.
If you think my service is not good, you can replace me at any time.
Words don’t stand up, but I will tell you with actions that it is definitely worth your money.”
Sun Yi nodded thoughtfully and said, "Mr. Schwartz, I see your sincerity, can you show me the contract sample?"
Schwartz was very happy after hearing this. He immediately took out the prepared contract from the document bag and handed it to Sun Yi.
Sun Yi took a look and found some parts that he didn't quite understand, so he thought he should consult professionals.
"Mr. Schwartz, can I take the contract back and look at it again?" Sun Yi asked.
"Sun, I understand your concerns. You can take it back. You can call me whenever you want to sign a contract." Schwartz said very generously.
"Thank you Mr. Schwartz for your consideration."
After Sun Yi thanked him, he made a suggestion.
"Mr. Schwartz, I would like to recommend a player to you. He is my teammate Hassan Whiteside. He has great potential. I think you will not suffer any loss in signing him."
"Hassan Whiteside? I'll think about it."
Schwartz is not very optimistic about Whiteside's commercial value, but in order to win over Sun Yi, this favor can be sold.
"Then thank you Mr. Schwartz." Sun Yi thanked him again.
For those players whose draft picks are not high and who were born into poverty, it is basically impossible to sign with a well-known agent.
Sun Yi could only help him so much for his good brother Da Baibian, but it was not up to him to decide whether he could sign the contract or not.
This cooperation was very enjoyable, and both parties basically achieved their goals.
Sun Yi finished the pastries and coffee, said goodbye to Schwartz, and left the cafe with the contract.
Originally, Schwartz wanted to take Sun Yi back in his car, but he refused, saying that he wanted to take a walk to relieve his hunger.
Returning to Davidson College, Sun Yi came to the arena to find head coach McClop and asked him to look at the contract for him.
After McClop knew Sun Yi's intention, he took the contract and began to read it carefully.
Half an hour later, McClop said: "Sun, there are no hidden traps in this contract. The conditions and benefits are very generous. It seems that Jeff Schwartz is very optimistic about your prospects after entering the NBA."
"Coach, please excuse me. If there is no problem, I will reply to Mr. Schwartz as soon as possible so that he can help me formulate a summer training plan as soon as possible."
"This matter must be implemented as soon as possible. This offseason is very important to you. You cannot relax. I believe you can gain a firm foothold in the NBA. Work hard!"
"Coach, don't worry, I won't let you down."
After Sun Yi said goodbye to McClop, he called Schwartz's phone number.
"Mr. Schwartz, I have thought about it. We will formally sign the contract at the cafe tomorrow."
"Sun, thank you for your trust. Come over tomorrow with your teammate Whiteside."
"Thank you very much Mr. Schwartz." Sun Yi thanked him.
He knew that Schwartz was going to pack Da Bai Bian away with him.
After hanging up the phone, Sun Yi returned to the dormitory and told Whiteside the good news.
"Sun, you are really my dearest brother, and I really don't know how to repay you." Dabai Bian was completely moved.
"Hassan, you don't have to repay me, as long as you make a name for yourself after entering the NBA and prove that I am right."
"Don't worry, Sun. I will make a name for myself and won't let you be laughed at by others." Whiteside promised, patting his chest.
Sun Yi wanted to say something, but the system prompt voice suddenly came to his mind.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for reaching 80 friendship points with Hassan Whiteside. The player's ability badge will be randomly drawn."
"Ding! Draw the badge: Punch Master (Silver)."
Sun Yi was stunned, but he didn't expect that his friendship with Whiteside would be further improved and he would get another bond badge.
"What's the use of this? We won't play together anymore." Sun Yi complained in his heart.
"Ding! After the system is upgraded, the bond badge function will be further optimized. Please don't worry, host. The products produced by the system must be high-quality."
"Fuck you! The official came out and forced an explanation. It's a bit strong!"
After Sun Yi finished complaining, he didn't take it to heart and could only wait for the system to be upgraded later.
After that, Sun Yi chatted with Whiteside for a few more words, and then returned to his room to rest.
