Chapter 12 The agent is confirmed, the team of heaven is established
With the Chinese team qualifying in the group stage and Zhang Tian's performance in the World Youth Championship, he has become a hot spot in the eyes of many agents. Although this guy has signed up for the draft, he still has no agents now.
So during the days when the Chinese team prepares for the knockout round, many sports agents are centered around Lisbon, because the next three games of the Chinese team will be played here.
Zhang Tian is definitely a big discovery in this World Youth Championship. Of course, in addition to him, there is another person who also performs well, but unfortunately that guy already has an agent. And he has more than two years of professional competition experience than Zhang Tian, so in the draft market, that person is much better than Zhang Tian. Zhang Tian’s current draft simulation ranking is in the middle of the first round or the second round, while that guy is in the lottery, the middle of the first round.
However, coincidentally, the team that the opponent is in the same group as the Chinese team, and Zhang Tian will have a direct conversation with him. If the person is won in the direct conversation, it will be of great help to Zhang Tian improve the draft.
After being scolded by Wang Fei for a few days, Yue Pengfei and Li Lin's attitudes improved significantly. Perhaps they were not convinced, but they still followed the head coach's order. After all, the exposure level of the knockout stage was completely different from that of the group stage, which would directly affect their next career.
Zhang Tian was not praised by the Portuguese media and was forgotten. He felt that he was really the number one person in this World Youth Championship. The cards of this World Youth Championship are no smaller than those in 1987. In 1987, there were aunts, gloves, and Kukochi. In addition to Zhang Tian, this World Youth Championship, there are two future NBA All-Star players.
That's why the system issued that task. He did not say that the Chinese team was forced to win the championship, because the MVP of the World Youth Championship was not based on the results, but based on your impact on the team and the improvement of the team's previous record. So although the US team won a lot of championships in the U19 World Youth Championship, the reason why there are few MVPs is here. Who made their ceiling unable to be increased?
"Xiao Zhang, I'm still training. I'm so hard. When I see you, I think of us at that time." Zhang Tian finished another group of shooting training. After sitting down to drink water, Zhang Heli came with the two of them.
Zhang Tian didn't know any of these two middle-aged people, but then Wei Ping Bryant introduced them, "These two are agents in our circle. He is Xia Song, this one is Zhang Benqi, but they have players, Xiao Xia has Dazhi and Daba, and Xiao Zhang has Dayao and Liu Wei. They are both very interested in you, so I brought them here."
Since Zhang Weiping met Zhang Tian, he has been here if he has anything to do. Compared with Su Junyang and others, this basketball media person who is born as a player is more willing to let Zhang Tian get in touch with him.
"Hello. Why do you two want to choose me, especially Agent Xia. Is your Wang Zhizhi different draft this year? And his market is much better than mine."
Zhang Tian is telling the truth. Although he led the Chinese team to defeat all sides in the World Youth Championship, this is just a child playing house, not a professional arena. Wang Zhizhi's draft market is in the middle or end of the first round and will not fall to the second round.
Zhang Benji is not as enthusiastic about Zhang Tian as Xia Song, because the trump card in his hand is much better than the former. If Yao Ming participates in the draft this year, not to mention the top pick, at least the lottery will be stable. Today, he was just pulled by Zhang Heli. For this national youth team, the person in charge of Yao's team will not pay much attention to this future member of the national youth team.
Xia Song pursed his lips and organized the language before saying, "Although your current draft market is not as good as Dazhi, I still want to gamble on you because you are still young and you can return to the domestic league to develop even if the NBA is not selected. However, I think this situation is unlikely to happen. If you miss you, I will regret it for the rest of my life."
Xia Song knew that the cards in his hand were not as good as Zhang Benji, and that Zhang Benji had no interest in Zhang Tian, but there were more agents in China who were interested in Zhang Tian.
Zhang Tian knew about Xia Song. If that hadn't happened to Wang Zhizhi back then, his status in the basketball circle would not have been lower than that of Zhang Benji. Zhang Benji obviously came here to make up the numbers.
"Okay, then we can talk about the specific agreement." Zhang Tian's words made Xia Song relieved, while Zhang Benji found an excuse to leave. In the eyes of the latter, Xia Song wasted his time completely. Since Wang Zhizhi participated in the draft, it would be better to focus all his attention on the former. Why do you do these stupid things? I really think that guy Zhang Tian, who has never played in a professional game, can be selected by the NBA team? How blind should that team be.
Zhang Tian and Xia Song came to the hotel where they were staying. At the entrance of the hotel, they met a man who was a black man who was only about six feet tall. The biggest feeling he gave was his eyes particularly bright.
"Hello, Zhang Tian, I'm Ritchie Paul, an agent from Cleveland. Can we talk about it?"
Agent from Cleveland? Zhang Tian is much more familiar with Xia Song. In the future, James' right-hand man, and Xia Song feels a crisis, "Okay. Then let's talk about it for us."
Xia Song was a little discouraged, but he was not a person who gave up easily, so he followed him.
"Let me introduce you to me. This is also my agent and will become the head of my agent team in the future. Are there any problems with you being only responsible for my US business?"
Zhang Tian didn't go around in circles at all and was straight to the point. Ricci Paul's head was a little confused. He was actually here to try his luck. He had just graduated from high school for not a year. Although he had an agent license, he did not have a player under his command. Ricci Paul didn't like any of the guys from the US team in this year's World Youth Championship because he felt that those people had no star appearance.
When it comes to Zhang Tian, it’s just a chance. After all, Zhang Tian still has a reputation in the American agent circle. Perhaps David Falke’s big agent is not interested, but some medium-level agents are quite interested in this Fengwei swingman from the far east. Zhang Tian agreed directly in the face of himself, a guy who made a fuss, which made Ricky Paul feel a sense of gratitude. If this failure this time, he had to go to another industry to make a living.
Ritchie Paul took a deep breath, "Are you afraid that I am a liar if you believe me so much?"
Zhang Tiangao smiled unfathomablely, "I believe in my intuition." Zhang Tian's words suddenly made the atmosphere in the whole room much easier.
