() When Chen Jie got off the plane, it happened to be the first day after the draft ended.
After twelve hours of turbulence on the plane, Chen Jie, who was a little tired, came to the cafe outside the airport to have a cup of coffee and rest before looking for a hotel.
Because he still doesn’t know which team he has been selected to, Chen Jie flew directly from the United States to New York. He plans to take the train to Durham City to spend a few days with Beyoncé tomorrow, and then work on contracts and other related matters.
matter.
After arriving at the cafe and ordering a cup of coffee, Chen Jie casually found a seat and sat down.
After casually flipping through a newspaper, Chen Jie suddenly discovered that the headline on the front page read: "Chicagoans got a big deal."
Big bargain, what can I say?
Chen Jie was stunned and immediately saw that the picture below was a photo of the draft scene. After comparing the teams one by one, they corresponded to the names of the players who participated in the draft this year.
Because the picture is not very big, Chen Jie did not see it clearly.
But I finally know that this report is talking about the draft. Big bargain, Chicago should be the third pick this year, who is it? Are you talking about me?
Chen Jie gave a saosao smile.
After reading the content immediately, Chen Jie discovered that he had really been right!
This surprised Chen Jie!
Although Chen Jie also said that he hoped to go to Chicago when chatting with Yao Ming in Shanghai, he still felt that he should be the No. 1 pick and was actually ready to go to Orlando.
Unexpectedly, in the end, I was selected by Chicago.
After reading this report while suppressing the excitement in his heart, Chen Jie felt very complicated.
After putting down the newspaper, he fell into deep thought.
In fact, if he were asked to choose from the three cities of Orlando, Charlotte, and Chicago, he would prefer Chicago. However, Dan Fagan does not care about the draft pick as long as the city has factors that can create momentum and business space. Chen Jie
But he cares a lot.
The No. 3 pick seems to be very high, but it also means that there are two people who are more trusted than him!
Howard, Okafor!
Unexpectedly, he was actually ranked behind two people! Chen Jie suddenly felt unconvinced in his heart.
In the previous life, these two people were also ranked first and second, but Ben Gordon, who was ranked third, really didn't have the strength to compete with them. After all, one of them would become World of Warcraft and the other would be the best rookie.
But don’t I have the strength to compete with them now?
Chen Jie felt very unhappy!
Do the managers of Orlando and Charlotte really look down on me?
snort!
We must let them know how wrong their decision was. Chen Jie already had a desire to prove himself.
After forcing himself to calm down and read the report again, Chen Jie smiled faintly.
Chicago!
I didn’t expect that I would really be connected with this city.
It's really amazing when you think about it. The first future superstar I met after time travel was Derrick Rose. If I hadn't appeared, he would have been the leader of Chicago in the future. It's hard to say what he would be like now.
The first thing I did after traveling through time was related to Jay Williams, who was also selected by Chicago with the second overall pick last year.
It's really a fate. Chen Jie sighed.
Regarding Jay Williams, Chen Jie now thinks he knows the whole story.
The matter of time travel is already bizarre. When I saw the news about the Dream Team training camp in China this summer, my mind suddenly flashed. Chen Jie, who recalled some hidden memories in his previous life, also knew something, that is, Jay Williams in his previous life was
Met in 2003 and not dead!
I didn't expect that one of my self-righteous actions after time travel would completely change history, or that God allowed me to inherit all of Jay Williams' skills just to make up for this one mistake of my own.
And now seeing the news that he was selected by the Bulls again, Chen Jie felt that maybe this was all destined.
Thinking like this, Chen Jie took a sip of coffee, and the cell phone next to him happened to ring at this moment.
Seeing that the call was from Dan Fagan, Chen Jie probably already guessed what he was going to say, so he smiled and pressed the connect button.
"Hey, Jay, are you back?" Dan Fagan's first words were still concerned about where Chen Jie was now.
"Well, I just got off the plane." Chen Jie said with a smile.
"Then have you watched the news? Do you know which team you were selected by?" Dan Fagan asked mysteriously.
"I know, Chicago Bulls. The third pick. I just read the newspaper." Chen Jie said.
"Ah, so you know, are you satisfied with this pick?" Dan Fagan asked with a smile.
"What do you think? Dan, do you think it would be too unprogressive if I accept it now? But Chicago is a good city!" Chen Jie narrowed his eyes and said.
Dan Fagan, who naturally understood what Chen Jie meant in his first sentence, smiled knowingly and said: "Yes. Chicago is a good city, and more importantly, they need players like you, that's for sure.
Yes, in Chicago, you get more room to grow than in Orlando and more attention than in Charlotte."
"Oh?" Chen Jie smiled slightly.
"Chicago needs a good guard. The year before last, they chose Jay Williams, your senior at Duke. But Jay Williams died unfortunately, and Chicago has never found a good guard like him.
.Keke Hinrich, who was selected last year, is pretty good in terms of organization, but his offense is a little lacking. So you are exactly the player they need. What's more, Chicago is a big basketball city, and they once had a brilliant period of media attention.
The fan loyalty is extremely high. You will be like a fish in water there!"
It can be seen that Dan Fagan is indeed very satisfied with the results of this draft.
"You said so much, do you just want me to sign with Chicago? Don't worry, Dan, I won't ask the team to trade. I like Chicago very much. And I don't want to have such an unfavorable reputation when I first entered the league. You can
Feel free to negotiate the contract with the Chicago uniform team!" Chen Jie said calmly.
Seeing that Chen Jie understood what he meant, Dan Fagan smiled. It is easy to talk to smart people, "Okay, Jie, I will try my best to maximize your interests! Because that is also my interest!"
"Well, I believe you. I'm going to enjoy some vacation now, and then I'm going to sign the contract!" After saying this, Chen Jie exchanged a few words with Dan Fagan and hung up the phone.
While drinking coffee, Chen Jie was thinking about Dan Fagan as his agent. If it weren't for the introduction of Yao Ming's friend Jonathan Fagan, Chen Jie would not have signed a contract with him.
After all, because of Yi Jianlian’s incident in his previous life, this agent’s reputation in China was not very good, and he was even nicknamed vampire.
However, firstly, Chen Jie felt that he had foresighted many things and it would be fine if he was prepared in advance. Secondly, because of the recommendation of Yao Ming's friend, he had no better choice. So he still cooperated with Dan Fagan.
And now it seems that this agent is quite reliable.
