Basketball: Starting from the Rodman template

Chapter 58 Signing an Agent

"Let me see who we are looking at this year, and which lucky one will become the future owner of the Lakers!" Shaq O'Neal grinned and greeted "Magic" Johnson and Gary Vitti, and then looked at the trainee he thought he thought. When he saw Woody's appearance, he let out a "wow" at that time, "Are you going to sell me, or are you going to sell Kobe?"

The joke made all three of them laugh.

Gary Vitti replied cheerfully: "Shaq, in my impression, you are not so optimistic about Chinese people!"

This is about the conflict between Shaq O'Neal and Yao Ming not long ago.

After Barkley kissed the ass of the donkey, the doubts surrounding Yao Ming disappeared.But soon Yao Ming did another major event that caught the attention of the whole world. No, no, to be precise, it should be the Huaxia fans who surprised the fans all over the world this time.

In the NBA All-Star starting voting, they voted Yao Ming as the first center in the Western Conference, beating the current active No.1 Shaq O'Neal and becoming this year's starting center.

You must know that the current Shaq O'Neal has just won the regular season MVP in 00, and also led the team to win the NBA championship in the past three years. After becoming Michael Jordan, he is another player who has won the finals MVP for three consecutive years.

The American media even called him "the most dominant player ever".

In such a heyday, but let a rookie step on top of his head and become an All-Star substitute, O'Neal naturally couldn't swallow this breath.He publicly dissed Yao Ming in front of the media, and even said some inappropriate things.

This incident caused a lot of trouble, and once became the focus of the whole United States, Woody also knew about it.

Shaq O'Neal laughed, but responded to Gary Vitti's words without embarrassment at all: "Man, I must correct you, that was once, I used to think so, but now, no one understands the horror of the Chinese people better than me!"

On January 1, amid Shaq O'Neal's scolding, the Lakers ushered in a game against the Rockets.

As soon as the game started, as a rookie, Yao Ming sent 3 consecutive blocks to the "Big Shark", which directly blocked the "Big Shark".In the end, Yao Ming scored 10 points, 10 rebounds and 6 blocks, helping the team narrowly beat the defending champion Lakers in overtime. Although Shaq O'Neal scored 31 points and 14 rebounds, the statistics were better, but because of the opening performance and the team's loss, he wrote the word "convinced" on his face after the game, and never publicly bombarded Yao Ming.

"Just like this kid who was born out of nowhere, I believe he will definitely become a dominant player!"

Seeing him winking, Woody was amused. This "big shark" is indeed a "big treasure".In other words, the NBA All-Star Weekend cannot be without Shaq O'Neal, just like the West cannot lose Jerusalem!
"Come on man, great Sharks are waiting for you in the NBA!"

Shaq O'Neal didn't stay long after speaking, turned his head and left, looking at his thick arms and thighs, Woody couldn't help feeling in his heart: This guy is really strong!

Before that, the strongest player he had ever seen was Ben Wallace.

But with Big Ben in front of Shaq O'Neal, Woody felt like a little chicken.

Before Shaq O'Neal once angered Rodman, saying, "My grandma and Jordan can win the championship together." Based on this first impression, Woody felt that O'Neal's trash talk could also be given to himself.

Not only Jordan can win the championship with his grandma, but Shaq himself can also win the championship with his grandma!

After the trial training, "Magic" Johnson took Woody and left Staples.

Before leaving, Gary Vitti left his phone number to Woody: "Man, I will hold a training camp in Los Angeles in the summer. If you want to come over, you can come anytime. I should be able to give you good help. Don't worry, I won't charge any fees. Don't worry about this!"

"Magic" Johnson said dissatisfiedly: "If Woody plays it, he is your golden sign, and you shouldn't charge fees!"

Gary laughed, this...

He really can't refute it!
He is indeed optimistic that Woody can make a name for himself in the NBA, so he took the initiative to express his goodwill.

"How about it, buddy, are you more aware of your own strength now? Are you still hesitating?" Johnson asked while walking on the road.

Woody shook his head slightly.

He is indeed determined a lot, the path he is going to take!
The "magician" also took away Woody's trial training results, and returned to the car. He gave these to Woody: "It's only March, and there is still more than a month before the trial training time allowed by the NBA. You can compare your own shortcomings above and carry out targeted training!"

Woody looked through it carefully. In terms of physical fitness, Gary Vitti gave S-level evaluations. In terms of technology, the ratings were a bit mixed.

This is also in line with Woody's current situation. Many of his abilities are top-notch in the high school league, and coupled with NBA-level physical fitness, he can kill randomly in the high school league.

But if you look at his current abilities at the NBA level, the partiality caused by his late contact with basketball, and the problem that his strengths are not obvious enough, will be exposed.

Woody didn't think about how to improve himself, sitting next to an NBA legend, just ask him if it's okay?

Before answering his question, "Magician" asked him a question: "Dude, do you have an agent now?"

"Uh..." Woody realized later that he really didn't get this thing done.

Many agents have already contacted him and his second uncle.

But he was still competing at the time, and he hadn't considered his next path yet, so he never considered this matter.

Although his second uncle was bluffing, he never made any claims without telling him about these matters, so he really didn't make an appointment with any agent.

Not to mention the signing.

With Woody's reaction, "Magic" Johnson's gaze became brighter: "Man, I just want to find something to do recently. If you don't have a suitable agent for the time being, you can consider me. Of course, let me explain in advance that all my help to you is free of charge. Even if you want to find a more professional agent, I will still maintain my attitude. No matter when you have any questions, you can come to me!"

He is simply optimistic about Woody.

Want to take on more roles on Woody's road to fame.

He's had this idea for a long time, since he watched Woody's first game.

That's why when Woody called him, he couldn't wait for Woody to come to Los Angeles and arrange a trial training with Gary Vitti. He also wanted Woody to see his ability. As a legend of the Lakers, he has his own media channels, and he also has his own personal connections. It may not be enough for him to undertake the operation of a team, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with just becoming a certain player's agent.

Woody agreed without hesitation.

He could see that "Magic" Johnson was a man of true temperament.

No matter what he is doing now, or some things he has done in the past, such as he once publicly recorded a kneeling video, begging Michael Jordan to come back.

In addition, the "Dream Team" was able to make the trip, and he was also a bridge among them. He was a famous "social butterfly" when he was a player, and now he has a wider network after retiring.

No matter how you look at it, he fits Woody's needs very well.

"Man, trust me, you will never regret this choice!"

Woody nodded, and Johnson clapped excitedly.

In order to celebrate his first client, Johnson decided to take Woody to enjoy the prosperity of Los Angeles.

Woody looked at his excited look, as if this was the real business, and then thought about the anecdote of this guy throwing "chicken" into his teammate's room when he was a player, and suddenly regretted it.

Mainly from the meeting this time, Johnson was very honest and steady, which made Woody subconsciously ignore him.

However, as soon as Johnson started the car, Wu Erzhuang's call came, with a heavy tone: "Xiao Di, something happened at home..."

Woody immediately looked down.

But after Wu Erzhuang made things clear, Woody immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not a big deal...

Wu's father and Wu's mother owed money to others, and they still haven't paid it.Now other people's debt collection calls are coming to Wu Erzhuang's cell phone.

Only then did Woody realize that his parents were not 3 yuan per month for each of them, but a total of 3 yuan for the two of them. In the past two or three years, almost all of their monthly wages were sent to Woody.But they were afraid that if Woody knew about this, he would not want to study abroad and delay his future, so they said that the combined salary of the two of them was 6 yuan.

Woody said: "Second Uncle, please give my parents a call, and the money will be called to them in a few months, so that they will have a grace period... I have already decided, I will not go to college, I will go directly to the NBA!"
