: 36: Leave a call

　　 "The first, any commercial activity or endorsement will be implemented after your consent, I can only suggest."
　　 "Article 2, before you sign the guarantee contract, I will not charge a penny for the contract, nor will I take you to participate in any time-wasting business activities."
　　 "Third, stay in the NBA as the first goal. I will do my best to find an NBA team for you, and it is the kind of team that has the opportunity to sign a guaranteed contract."
　　 In a cafe, Jeff Austin is explaining the terms of the contract to Link one by one. Although I don't want to admit it, the fact is that almost all the terms in the contract are beneficial to Link.
　　 This three-year manager contract is much more generous than the contract that Carl Jones had when he fudged Link. Jeff Austin's compensation was not even as much as Karl Jones. After Link signed the guarantee contract, Jeff Austin only took 3%. For commercial activities and commercial endorsements, he only takes 15%.
　　 Comparing these two points with the 5% and 20% draws of Carl Jones, it is simply conscience. Don't underestimate the difference. In a world of professional basketball with millions of small and tens of millions, the percentage of this percentage is very scary.
　　 "So," Link picked up the contract and looked at it carefully. "I don't have any reason to refuse you."
"Of course, unless a more famous or better manager comes to you. But as far as I know, other people have not yet discovered your potential. They believe that if you play in the NBA for at most three years, you will be overwhelmed. Come back home."
　　 "Oh?" Link heard this news for the first time, "Then why do you think I can survive in the NBA for more than 3 years?"
"First, you work low-key. Second, you are focused enough. Third, your potential does not match your age. People think that you have no potential worth exploring after four years in college. But I think, You just lack high-quality resources and environment. The University of Fresno is just an NCAA secondary league team, and the blue team is just an unremarkable team in the development league. Once you have the best training environment and resources , I believe you can always survive in the NBA."
　　 After listening to Jeff Austin, Link really admired it. As we all know, Grant Hill cannot be unemployed in the NBA. He played in the NBA until he was 40 before retiring himself. But Link is not Hill, and others may not be able to see the potential remaining in him.
　　 Jeff Austin is different, he likes to bet on these plastic players. For example, Marc Gasol, who was not as fat as a professional athlete at the beginning, or Antetokounmpo, who is still in the Greek second division youth team.
　　 Link did not ask any more, he picked up the pen, and signed the contract that a manager handed him for the second time.
　　 I hope this time, the ending will not be as as last time.

　　 There is a very special part in the training of the Blue team this afternoon-the fan visit time.
　　 This session is actually modeled on the NBA’s media opening hours, that is, during training, there is a period of time when fans can come in to visit and interact with the players. Of course, all this is to pay for tickets. For only $50, fans can get in touch with professional players.
　　 Don’t think this kind of thing is exaggerated. As a development league team without the support of an NBA team, the blue team must do everything possible to accumulate wealth. Many teams have this means of making money during the opening hours, not the blue team.
　　 Although this is essentially a commercial activity, Link is not disgusted with it. Because these fans who are willing to pay to watch the players train, love the players of the blue team. In their eyes, players are heroes, not clowns.
　　 Link is undoubtedly the most popular person this afternoon, and the most fans asked for his autograph and photo. After all, this kid has not only played in the NBA, but also just broke the D-League individual scoring record.
　　Although in Oklahoma, few people watch the Blue team game. But even so, Link also felt the enthusiasm of the fans.
　　 At the end of the opening hours, Link signed a little boy. The little boy's father believed that Link would become famous in the NBA someday. Therefore, he asked his son to keep Link's signature.
After 　　 signed, I thought that today’s fan interaction was over. As everyone knows, there is another person who handed an Upshaw No. 0 jersey to Link.
　　 "Help me sign a name."
　　 Hearing the voice of a girl, Link raised his head in surprise. It's okay not to look up. Link's even more surprised when he raised his head.
　　The female fan standing in front of him, Link met her before. To be precise, before crossing over, Link would see her on 2KTV every time he played an NBA 2K game.
　　 That's right, the person who asked Link for an autograph at this time was Rachel De Mita.
　　 "Rachel? I didn't expect you to come." Link smiled. After all, the two parties did not leave contact information for each other last time, and they also had their own business to be busy. Link thought that he and Rachel would never meet again before they became famous.
　　 Unexpectedly, he could meet this energetic girl in the place where he trains every day.
"I’m here for you. The last game did a great job, Link. Just abandoned by the Rockets, they scored 52 points on their subordinate team. I have to say, you surprised me." Rachel laughed It is very sweet, and it feels like she can narrow the distance between people virtually.
　　 "Stand up from wherever you fell, hehe. What about you? How are you doing?" Link signed his signature and chatted with Rachel.
"Still as usual, boring. By the way, do you have a chance to enter the NBA again? You actually played well in the three games with the Rockets. It would be a pity if you were rejected by the NBA like this. Up."
　　 Looking at Rachel staring at him with wide eyes, Link remembered Jeff Austin's words. He said that he might not have to go to Texas with the team to play away tomorrow. This means that by tomorrow night, Jeff Austin will be able to find where Link belongs in the NBA.
Link is still very confident of a manager at the level of Jeff Austin, so he nodded confidently, "I think I will return to the NBA, but the next stop is definitely not Houston. What? What about you. Interested in the fate of a development league player?"
　　 "I..." Rachel opened her mouth, but stopped talking, "It's nothing, I just want to know. Hey, star, or leave your phone number on the shirt."
　　 "Huh!?" Link was taken aback. Before he crossed over, this was the first time he was asked for a phone number by a girl in his "two lives".
　　 "In this way, when you enter the NBA, I can personally congratulate you."
　　 "Oh..." Lin Ke wrote down the number silently, and friends left a phone call with each other, it seemed to be fine.
　　 "Madam, the activity time is over, I'm afraid you have to come again next time."
　　 Just as Link wrote the number, the stadium security came to urge Rachel to leave.
　　 After Rachel walked out of the training hall, the rest of the blue team approached Link with eyebrows.
　　 "Why are they like kids? Isn't Link more popular today? Look they are jealous." Seeing Link being "fixed" by his teammates on the court, the assistant coach of the Blue team shook his head.
"It's not a question of unpopularity, man. Link is the only one of them with a female fan, hahahaha." Conor laughed loudly, the kid really has more and more celebrity appearances. Up.

　　 After Jeff Austin signed with Link, he immediately started to get Link into the NBA.
　　 In fact, before signing with Link, he already had several goals for the next home. Otherwise, he can't tell Link that he can make him an NBA player in a short time. UU reading www.uukanshu.cóm
　　 Houston Rockets? Only a fool like Carl Jones would push Link to Houston. In addition to hype, what else can Houston bring to Link?
　　 Golden State Warriors? Come on, the Bay Area has the largest Chinese community in the United States, so you can use your toes to know what the Warriors need Link to do. Link went to play ball, not to be a clown. Therefore, the Warriors were also excluded.
　　 The Dallas Mavericks are a good choice, but Jeff Austin is worried that Mavericks coach Carlisle does not trust the newcomer.
After 　　 was the first to rule out these teams that were interested in Link, he had only two options left.
　　 One is the Cleveland Cavaliers and the other is the Memphis Grizzlies.
　　 The Cavaliers needless to say, since James left, the Cavaliers have been full of opportunities. But again, the departure of James made the Cavaliers almost no market and attention. If Link was sent to Cleveland, within a month, he would be forgotten.
　　 Finally, Jeff Austin made a call. He has a close relationship with this person, after all, Marc Gasol is Jeff Austin's customer. Therefore, he had previously worked with the guy who was about to talk on the phone.
　　 "Hello? Jeff? What happened at night?"
"Hello, Wallace. Maybe you don’t know yet. I am already Link’s manager now. I heard that you are in great need of a small forward who can play. So, when will we discuss the ten-day contract? Thing?"
　　 Jeff Austin's self-confidence runs through. He didn't ask the other party if he needed Link, but directly asked the other party when to sign the contract.
　　 After all, Austin knew very well that the Memphis Grizzlies had no reason to reject Link.
