That night, Chen Jie, Xiao Hei Sheldon and other team members went to celebrate drinking until 12 o'clock in the night. After being sent home by Xiao Hei, Chen Jie, who was already staggering when walking, discovered that Beyoncé and Gilbert were both in the living room.
Wait.
It's so late and they don't even go to bed. What are they doing?
Chen Jie, who was still drunk, was stunned when he saw this scene.
Seeing Beyoncé and Gilbert waiting for Chen Jie, Xiao Hei probably had something to say, so he said hello to the two of them, waved to Chen Jie, and turned around to leave.
As soon as Xiao Hei left, Chen Jie immediately walked up to the seat next to Beyoncé and sat down. He looked at Gilbert, who was smiling, and then at Beyoncé, who was obviously in a good mood next to him. He knew that even if something happened
It wouldn't be a bad thing, and I felt relieved.
"What's wrong?" Beyoncé handed Chen Jie a glass of juice, and Chen Jie took it in his hand and asked immediately.
Beyoncé stared at Chen Jie, with a smile on her lips, shaking her head slightly, as if she was showing off.
Gilbert chuckled, obviously not as naughty and young as Beyoncé: "Today's Duke University game was broadcast live across the United States."
Live broadcast across the United States?
Chen Jie really didn't know beforehand that an NCAA game would be broadcast live across the United States with such importance?
This is why Chen Jie didn't pay enough attention in the past. In fact, in the United States, the NCAA is taken very seriously, as evidenced by the fact that the NBA makes concessions to the NCAA finals every year.
In addition, this game is the first game of the top 16 of the Elite League. The two sides are the famous Duke University and Marquette University, which has the star player Dwyane Wade who has a high demand for this year's draft. It is broadcast live across the United States.
It's also a very common thing.
However, when Chen Jie heard this, he was really surprised. He had never thought that one day, his game would be broadcast live across the United States. If he had known about it in advance, I am afraid Chen Jie would not have performed so well.
Holding back the excitement in his heart, Chen Jie nodded and said, "So what?"
"The national live broadcast is very helpful to increase your popularity. I believe that many American scouts and teams have begun to pay attention to you. I still want to ask that question, what do you think? Do you want to participate in the draft this year?" Gil
Bert pondered for a moment and asked.
Chen Jie smiled slightly, thinking that this was his true purpose, and replied: "It's not yet early for the draft. Now I just want to play every game well. The coach said that our game is the first elite top 16 game.
This year, the Ohio arena that hosted the top 16 and quarterfinals games will be held in Cameron because of some accidents. But now, the accident in Ohio has been resolved. Tomorrow afternoon we will set off to Ohio to prepare for the quarterfinals.
War. I don’t have time to think about these things now.”
In fact, after joining Duke University, Chen Jie has always been on the fringes of the team, and it was not until these two games that he made a name for himself.
The development of a player, or in other words, development in the United States, is definitely not as simple as one person's business. Players need packaging and visibility, and all of this requires an agent to handle it.
But now Chen Jie is just like a blank piece of paper. He has already walked into the audience's field of vision before he has a chance to be smeared on. What is even very embarrassing is that when reporters interview Chen Jie, he will be asked a lot of questions.
I'm stuck and don't know how to answer. All this is because there is no professional team behind Chen Jie's operation.
Therefore, in fact, now, the draft is still very far away from Chen Jie.
The only thing he has now may be the fame he played in these two games and his status among the Duke University audience.
Gilbert naturally knew this. Seeing what Chen Jie said, Gilbert immediately thought of this. He pondered slightly and then said: "Chen, when we played in the game, I already told Fagan to let him
Let me introduce you to a good agent. Now, you need a team behind the scenes. Stop thinking of yourself as an ordinary player. In the future, you should become an NBA superstar!"
Superstar?
Chen Jie smiled slightly and shook his head: "It seems a long way from saying this. I have only played two games."
He knew that Gilbert had high expectations for him, but he didn't want to aim too high. First round? Lottery? This was not what Chen Jie wanted. If he couldn't become the top pick, then participating in the draft would be a failure.
After all, I have inherited all the talents of Jay Williams, and he is the second best. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if I were worse than him?
"It's not far away, Chen. I believe that many agents will contact you soon, there will be many teams willing to offer you contracts, and there will be many scouts paying attention to your every move, whether it is on or off the court.
You need a team to package it now!" Gilbert didn't seem to care about Chen Jie's words and continued to persuade.
"You mean, next, there will be a lot of things outside the arena in my life, and I don't have the energy to deal with these, so I need help from others, right?" Gilbert's words don't count.
It's very profound, but he has never been exposed to this kind of life. He has always been a fan before and now needs a role change. Chen Jie still likes to change to such a more straightforward explanation.
"Not bad!" Hearing what Chen Jie said, Gilbert was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly.
Beyoncé next to her covered her mouth and smiled softly. Chen Jie could always maintain such a relaxed mood no matter what time he was. This was one of the reasons why she liked Chen Jie.
"Then can't you help me?" Chen Jie suddenly blinked and smiled at Gilbert in front of him.
"Me?" The handsome guy Gilbert pointed to his nose, and then said with a wry smile, "I'm not good at it. These things require a professional team to do it!"
"Is that so?" Chen Jie seemed a little disappointed. He sighed slightly, then his eyes lit up again, and he pointed at Beyoncé and said, "Then she can? She is very professional!"
"Me?" Beyoncé pointed to her nose just like Gilbert did before.
Chen Jie nodded repeatedly.
In fact, he was changing the subject. He knew what kind of job an agent was and what kind of people they were. He also knew that if he wanted to be a professional player, it was essential to find an agent. But now, Chen Jie
Subconsciously, he doesn't want to think about this, because he just wants to play well, and he doesn't want his basketball career to be commercialized prematurely and full of profits. He is afraid that if that happens, he will lose his pure love for basketball.
Although many people say that the NBA is a business, Chen Jie knows that there are still many people pursuing their dreams there. Like Tracy McGrady, like Roy...
