Black Dolan smiled, and then looked at this young man with glasses and a gentle face:
"I guess you must have my details."
Sam Presti nodded: "Of course, very detailed information."
"Then you also know that even if I enter the NBA, I have a more suitable choice." Blake Dolan said.
"I know there's no better choice than the New York Knicks," Sam Presti said with a nod.
"Then I'm curious, why do you still invite me here? If I wanted to, I could be the Knicks coach right now." Blake Dolan said.
"Because I am an intern and because you did not choose to join the Knicks, countless teams hope to recruit you to their team, and the Spurs are no exception. When Mr. Beauford and Coach Popovich talked about you
, they want to cover you with jam and swallow it in their stomachs. They know that it is impossible for you to join, but they want to try to contact you. Who is the most suitable candidate? Of course, a young, newly graduated rookie who is not afraid of rejection is the most suitable, so,
I'm here," Sam Presti said.
"Okay, Sam, you look young? Do you like basketball?" Blake Dolan said.
"I'm 26 years old, coach Blake Dolan is 28 years old. Of course, I love this activity. I was captain of the Emerson College team in high school, but as you can see, my physical fitness has no chance to play in the NBA. I
If you take off your glasses, you may not even be able to see the basketball, so I can only do some basketball-related work, which will make me full of energy when facing work." Sampledis said with a smile.
"Forgive me, I can't accept this invitation, but we can become friends. I like people like this who are passionate about their work. In addition to inviting me, you can call me privately and let's go have a drink or something else.
, this is my new number." Blake Dolan gave Sam Presti his cell phone number.
"Of course, I will keep it secret. Now, your new number is worth $500." Sam Presti said with a smile on his face.
"Are you a scout for the Spurs?" Blake Dolan felt that chatting with a group of old guys would be better than chatting with the young man in front of him, so he took the initiative to ask.
"Yeah, it's still just the internship stage. Do some analysis of overseas players and massive data. You have to find what the team needs from it. It's like finding something other than stone mines in San Antonio. It's difficult, but the process
It’s interesting,” Sam Presti said.
"Actually, I know a guy, Daryl Morey. That guy is a good candidate for data analysis. He has his own company in Chicago that specializes in player data analysis. I mean, if you don't want to be so tired,
You can let the club entrust him to complete the exploration, and when non-quarry minerals are found, you can take over the analysis yourself, which will be more efficient." Blake Dolan thought of Daryl Morey, that guy was also young.
"There will be no market for this kind of company, and its final outcome will definitely be bankruptcy." Sam Presti pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said with certainty.
"Why? I mean you said the same as the guy said. The guy said his company was on the verge of bankruptcy." Blake Dolan was a little surprised by Sam Presti's affirmation.
"No club is willing to reveal its intentions. A company that does not belong to the club provides a large amount of its information to it for free? Although some confidentiality contracts will be signed, who can really guarantee that their information will not be leaked? ?If he can get non-quarry minerals, he can find gold mines. At that time, it was a scene that every club did not want to see. If that company only provides services to one club, then it does have to Bankruptcy, because the pay and the reward are completely out of proportion, the club will not give too much reward. His idea is very good, but the foundation of this company is built on the beach, and what is waiting for him can only collapse. ” said Sam Presti….
"Okay, Sam, are you sure you're not an alarmist? Oh my god! Last time we met, I encouraged that guy and asked him to persist. It seems that I thought everything was too good." Blake Dolan finished listening to Sam Presti. He sighed.
"Actually, it's not impossible. A company like this can be controlled by a club, and then transfer all its scouting matters to this company and make this company a subsidiary of the club. In this way, the company can exist , the club feels at ease, and at the same time, if there are entrustments from other clubs, it can also get some unexpected news." Sam Presti said.
"You are very proficient in these things, Sam. You don't look like a scout. I think you should be more like the athletic director of a university or the manager of a club." Blake Dolan stared at Sam Presti. His eyes said: "I am serious."
"Thank you for the compliment. I think so too. However, in this league, it is difficult for young people to show their talents immediately, except for you, of course, Black." Sam Presti said.
"I don't think so. I believe that you will soon get the opportunity to display your talents, as long as your boss is not an idiot." Black Dolan raised the wine glass in his hand and said.
…
After Sheldon Cooper's strong statement, Blake Dolan reluctantly agreed to this guy's request to stay in Los Angeles for one night and checked into the Radisson luxury hotel because Sheldon Cooper planned to visit the nearby Sony Studios , meet "Halo", the special effects production team based at Sony Studios.
However, just after the two of them returned to the hotel after visiting the movie theater, they found that a cocktail party was being held in the luxurious business center on the first floor of the hotel.
When Blake Dolan walked by outside, she found Liv Tyler, who had just become a good friend with her. This beautiful girl was being entangled by her ex-boyfriend, and the man was saying something excited.
Blake Dolan signaled Sheldon Cooper to rest in the lobby first, and then walked to the business center. Facing the two huge black bodyguards at the door, Blake Dolan said:
"I am the Jeans manager of this hotel. Which gentleman should I contact to inquire about their service attitude towards me? Also, our parking lot is full. I need to contact him and get his service. Permit, can some cars be driven to the open parking lot."
The two black bodyguards were obviously frightened by Blake Dolan's serious look. One of them said:
"You can go in and find Mr. Morgus, he is the organizer of this cocktail party."
"Thank you very much. If you have any help with the security of this reception, you can contact me at any time." Blake Dolan walked into the business center, turned his head, and found Sheldon Cooper giving him a thumbs up.
