Chapter 007 Broker, Solo Trial

"Good morning, how was the rest last night?"

As soon as He Li opened the hotel room door, he saw the energetic Jeff Austin and heard the greetings from him.

"Good morning Jeff. Thank you for your hospitality. I had a great rest last night."

After He Li finished greetings with Jeff Austin, he enjoyed the breakfast provided by the hotel with Jeff Austin, and then went to Madison Square Garden to participate in the trial schedule with the Knicks today.

As He Li's agent, Jeff Austin gave He Li a little more along the way, asking He Li to talk more during the trial to dispel the Knicks' concerns about He Li's language communication.

Of course, Jeff Austin asked He Li to talk more during the trial, but it was not to let He Li confess everything to the Knicks.

As early as last night, when He Li signed a contract with Jeff Austin, Jeff Austin asked He Li what shortcomings he felt and what advantages he had.

As He Li's agent, Jeff Austin will help He Li play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses during He Li's draft, find a suitable boss as much as possible, and sell it at a good price.

Jeff Austin will help He Li cover up, but He Li doesn't want to cover up his mouth, so he will be done.

In previous years, Jeff Austin also came into contact with black players who could not speak in their brains.

After a brief encounter with He Li, Jeff Austin briefly believed that He Li's IQ and EQ were still online, so he was not too worried about He Li.

And He Li was naturally relieved to Jeff Austin.

Two hours after the call ended yesterday, Jeff Austin sent a driver to He Li's house and picked him up to meet in New York.

So He Li did not live in the small hotel arranged by the Knicks, but in the hotel carefully prepared by Jeff Austin.

Last night, Jeff Austin also took He Li to visit his company - Octagonal Basketball, and the two signed a three-year agency contract at the company.

The rough content on the brokerage contract is 4% of the player’s salary commission, 16% of the commercial endorsement, and a liquidated damages of more than one million US dollars.

However, He Li didn't care about these things.

It is appropriate for an agent to get a commission. If a rookie player participates in the draft, it is easier to be selected with a reliable agent. During the game, who will talk to the players about the endorsement contract except the agent? Who will study the terms of the contract for the players?

There is a domestic market behind He Li, but who says there is no pitfall for commercial endorsements from China?

Jeff Austin not only prevented He Li from falling into the trap, but also helped He Li to obtain a higher endorsement contract with the help of Americans in this era when Chinese people generally admire foreign countries and fawn on foreign countries.

Let’s talk about liquidated damages. As long as I have no morality, no one can kidnap me. As long as I don’t get nervous, it is impossible to actively breach the contract.

Anyway, after He Li signed a contract with Jeff Austin, he was at ease with Jeff Austin to eat and drink. Jeff Austin can make a lot of money, but He Li will definitely not lose.

...

Madison Square Garden.

"Why haven't the door opened yet?"

“Is the training camp over today?”

"Who knows what's going on now?"

"Yesterday was fine? Today suddenly became different!"

Many rookie players who came to the Knicks to try out were like ants on a hot pan, circling around the entrance of the Madison Square Garden Arena.

Madison Square Garden is located in Midtown Manhattan, New York. It can be said to be the most prosperous area in the world. If you have any choice, most people are willing to come here to work and live here.

For the vast majority of rookie players this year, the New York Knicks also have considerable appeal to them.

The Knicks have the 10th pick and 14th pick in the second round this year. Although these two lottery tickets can also draw prizes in previous years, it is difficult to pick up those geniuses who are training in the official training camp.

In other words, if the Knicks want to achieve something, their focus will be on the training camp they hold.

Under the dual influence of Big Apple City and draft picks, the Knicks training camp this year is unprecedentedly large, and there have been more than 50 players coming to participate in the trial in the past few days.

But all of these rookies were turned away this morning.

And the reason for this is that the Knicks have to conduct a separate trial on a rookie.

Individual trials are often closed trials. Players should be as low-key as possible, and the team should also be as low-key as possible to avoid players who are optimistic about the team being intercepted by other teams in the draft.

"Jeff, what you said is true, right?"

"I'm responsible for what I said!" Jeff Austin assured Knicks general manager Scott Rayden.

"Okay! Jeff, let's go see this talented kung fu boy together?" Scott Raden did not talk to Jeff Austin, but looked at the team's head coach Jeff Van Gundy.

At this time, Jeff Van Gundy was reading a newspaper. Unlike Scott Rayden who paid attention to He Li's physical test data, Jeff Van Gundy cared about He Li's previous fight with blacks at the Nets' Mainland Aviation Arena.

"Strong and hard, quick and powerful?" Jeff Van Gundy put down the newspaper and smiled slightly.

"Let's go and have a look together." Jeff Van Gundy also wanted to see with his own eyes how tough He Li is!

Jeff Van Gundy is an old-school coach who is defensively the first. Because of his mentor Pat Riley, he especially likes strong and tough players. He is the second-generation leader of the Knicks' "New York Gangster".

Soon, Jeff Van Gundy and the other two arrived at the place where the physical test was conducted. At this time, He Li had completed the basic physical test and was undergoing further technical tests.

"There is a problem with the intelligence, Jeff!" Scott Raden took the physical test report handed over by the staff and looked at Jeff Austin with a serious expression.

"No need to joke, there is no problem with my intelligence!" Jeff Austin said calmly, saying that he was not scared by Scott Rayden at all.

Jeff Austin knew very well that he was shocked when he obtained the information about He Li's physical test from Nets staff, but after going to the Nets to confirm that the information was correct, Jeff Austin was eager to sign He Li.

"How is it impossible!" Scott Raden said, handing over the physical test report to Jeff Austin.
