The world of basketball

Chapter 3 Broker Carlene
United States, Golden State, Oakland.

Mu Xiaobei looked at this Caucasian girl who said she was going to be his manager in a star dad. Well, to be honest, he was a little moved, but he was afraid that he would be deceived.

Yao Ming also considered the issue of agents when he recommended Mu Xiaobei to participate in the draft after playing in the CBA for one year. You must know that the agent of a basketball player is very important.

But Yao Ming's manager has now shifted his work focus back to China because of Yao Ming's relationship, and it is difficult to go to the United States to accompany Mu Xiaobei to play games.

Mu Xiaobei also thought at the time that it was okay, as long as he typed everything out, it would be fine, and as for the agent, he would come to him by himself.

But I didn't expect that someone would pick me up right after I got off the plane, and she was a beautiful Caucasian girl about my age. As for Abdul Saramu, he broke up with Mu Xiaobei when he got off the plane because of his own arrangement.

"Mr. Mu, please don't rush to reject me." The white girl's Chinese is not bad: "My name is Karlin, Karlin Helen. In fact, I have been following you for half a year, and I have all your CBA game videos here and a summary of your technical characteristics."

After finishing speaking, Mu Xiaobei received a stack of A4 papers, which recorded Mu Xiaobei's height, weight, wingspan, jumping, and various technical characteristics in great detail.

"You are the first customer I hope to win," Carlin said with a smile, her Chinese was much better than Mu Xiaobei felt: "I came from a family of brokers, my father was An agent who has several Hollywood actors under him, and my brother is also an agent who is now serving some football players in Europe."

"So your field is basketball?" Mu Xiaobei asked, "But why did you find me?"

Carlin said: "The competition in the agent industry is also very fierce. Many NBA athletes have already signed agents, and as rookies, you can only start with rookies or high school students. But now the rookies who are about to participate in the draft are basically With a manager, there are definitely not many people who will rob you from me."

Seeing Mu Xiaobei's unnatural expression, Carlin reacted: "I'm not saying that you are not worthy of others' choice, but, what I mean is that you are an Asian, and fewer people may notice you."

Mu Xiaobei nodded, expressing that he understood: "Then if I hire you as my manager, what can you do for me?"

Carlin obviously had prepared for a long time and said: "Many, first of all, I can help you arrange the next most important trial training for you, and you can go directly when you receive the notification, and then I can help you deal with some endorsements, etc., I Graduated from the Finance Department of Columbia University, I have a wealth of professional knowledge, and I can help you solve other life problems if you are not used to them.”

"Of course, I will only give you suggestions. The final decision must be in your hands, such as which team you want to go to, which endorsement you want to accept, etc."

Mu Xiaobei was actually very moved when he heard that, he really needed his manager to help him with a lot of things, so that he would have enough time to rest and train.It turned out that Yao Ming and Yao Ming's agent were helping him. Now that he is independent, he also needs to find such an agent.

"Then in terms of salary—"

"The salary contract is here, please take a closer look."

After speaking, Carlin took out a contract and handed it to Mu Xiaobei.

"I have to think about it first." Mu Xiaobei didn't immediately agree.

"I know, it's okay, anyway, I will be by your side these days."

"???"

"I know Mr. Mu that you are here to participate in the trial training of the Golden State Warriors, but the trial training will start the day after tomorrow. Have you booked a hotel yet?"

Mu Xiaobei shook his head.

Carlin smiled and grabbed Mu Xiaobei's hand: "Let's go, I'll find you a place to live first."

······
Just after the Warriors' trial training ended, Carlin and Mu Xiaobei embarked on a trip to Los Angeles.

Generally speaking, trial training refers to some athletes who are eager to enter a team and then go to this team to participate in trial training; or a team is eager to get an athlete and invites this athlete to participate in trial training.

However, in this world, the parallel world of this earth has trial training before the draft, which is aimed at some Americans and foreigners who are not in the university team, such as Chinese, Germans and so on.

After the draft, there will also be a trial training for some undrafted picks, and it may be based on their performance in the trial training to decide whether to invite this player to represent their team in the summer league.

The time of the two trial trainings of each team is basically staggered, and the time has been determined.

As for those players who have already participated in the college student league, they basically rarely participate in trial training in this world. This is where the trial training before and after the two world drafts is different.

The Golden State Warriors were preparing for a match against the Pelicans, which had just swept the Trail Blazers in an upset, so head coach Steve Kerr did not come forward. The person in charge did not give Mu Xiaobei a clear promise, but he did not refuse, because They still have big plans this summer.

In the past two days, Mu Xiaobei has already signed a contract with Carlin, formally employing Carlin as his manager.

What really impresses Mu Xiaobei is not Carlin's breasts, hips, face, etc., but her understanding of basketball and Mu Xiaobei's technical characteristics.

She thinks that Mu Xiaobei's final draft pick will be at the end of the first round or the beginning of the second round, and the template is Yao Ming.

Yes, Mu Xiaobei is too similar to the original Yao Ming: similar height and wingspan, similar soft touch and shooting range, similar basketball IQ, similar defensive toughness and shot-blocking ability.

Even, the current Mu Xiaobei is stronger than the original Yao Ming.

Of course, this does not mean that the current Mu Xiaobei is better than the original Yao Ming, but that Mu Xiaobei and Yao Ming are the same type of athlete. If Mu Xiaobei works hard, he may be able to reach the height of Yao Ming.

However, although with Yao Ming's efforts and the great promotion of the NBA in the Chinese market, NBA teams have already paid a lot of attention to Chinese athletes, but Mu Xiaobei's data performance is similar to that of Zhou Qi's big devil back then.

Carlin felt that Mu Xiaobei was worthy of the lottery, but a rational analysis told Mu Xiaobei that, in fact, at the end of the round, it was reasonable to have a pick similar to what ESPN experts predicted.

Therefore, the first choice for the trial training target is the team with the last pick at the end of the round.

The second is that the team needs a second insider who can ensure Mu Xiaobei's playing time.

In this way, the targets that can be selected are the Bulls, Lakers, Warriors, Knicks, and Mavericks. These teams are more in line with the expectations of the two people. In addition, these teams are located in big cities and have a strong market.

The three centers of the Warriors, Rooney, Bell, and McGee, are all at the fifth position who can't stretch space. Compared with them, Mu Xiaobei has an extra three-point advantage.

When Mu Xiaobei was in the Bengang team, he followed Zhou Qi's advice, and many three-point shots were taken one step outside the three-point line.

The Lakers in the city of Los Angeles haven't made the playoffs for a long time, and the Clippers' experience in the playoffs can be considered ill-fated. After losing Paul and Griffin, the team officially announced its reconstruction.

The lost city is very prosperous, really prosperous.

The most important thing here is dreams. Actors, athletes and other dream chasers settle down here, and Mu Xiaobei is also one of them.

When he came to the Lakers' trial training place, Mu Xiaobei met owner Jenny Buss and head coach Luke Walton. He didn't expect to see these two big men at the same time in just one trial training.

There is no problem with the data measurement of physical fitness. In the next match, Mu Xiaobei will face Mitchell Robinson from the University of Kentucky. Black and tough blue-collar center forward.

When Carlin told Mu Xiaobei the information about the opponent's center forward, she asked, "Any question?"

Mu Xiaobei smiled, remembering the scenes where Yao Ming used his own skills to play those black and rough scenes when he dominated the league, and patted Karlin on the shoulder.

"of course not!"

I was trained by Yao Ming!
People who underestimate me, look down!
