This time, Bruce called Wang Zhizhi and had other purposes besides asking about his recent situation when he returned to China.

"By the way, brother, aren't you going to participate in the draft this year? How come there are agents?!" Bruce talked about this matter intentionally.

Because Bruce arranged for Wang Zhizhi to play in the United States early in the morning, this is a very different time for Wang Zhizhi to participate in the draft in his previous life. The famous agent Xia Song is no longer Wang Zhizhi's agent, so Bruce wants to know if there are any agents in the United States to find Wang Zhizhi to operate the draft. If not, Bruce can introduce several agents to him.

"Oh, I'm not sure who is my agent yet, but there are still a few people in the United States who have contacted me, and some people in China have contacted me, and I'm still considering it!" Wang Zhizhi answered honestly.

In fact, after announcing his participation in this year's draft, someone came to him to be his agent, but Wang Zhizhi did not agree. Why? The reason is that he didn't know what happened recently, as if he was particularly popular. Not only did the domestic media rush to report that he would participate in the 1997 draft, but also attracted many well-known American agents to talk about being an agent. He didn't know what was going on, so he could only delay it for the time being and wait until he returned to the United States again to determine the agent's candidate.

Can it not be popular? Most of the league has allowed CCTV to report playoff games in recent times, and it has provided them with convenience. This is unique in NBA history. It can be said that today's overseas market in the NBA has always been considered by China rather than North America. In addition, Wang Zhizhi is now the first Chinese player to participate in the draft. Can it not arouse the interest of those agents? You should know that if you sign a Chinese player, at least the market has been completely opened up in China. No one will give up the opportunity to occupy the first overseas market.

(The draft that Song Tao participated in that year was not counted because he did not enter the NBA in the end, so Wang Zhizhi was the first to enter the NBA)

Wang Zhizhi really doesn't know the twists and turns here. Just look at Yao Ming's agent Bill Duffy, who was the previous life. He couldn't eat and wear everything by relying on Yao Ming alone. Besides, Bill Duffy is pretty good, at least he has never cheated Yao Ming, right? Yi Jianlian's agent Dan Feigen is different. He is a specialist who cheated Yi Jianlian. These two are representatives, one is good and the other is bad. But the reason is that they know the importance of the Chinese market, because they see that they can open up the Chinese market in these Chinese players, which can make them profit!

So don't be surprised at all, these people are now rushing to be Wang Zhizhi's agents. When they only see money in their eyes, they will not care whether Wang Zhizhi can play in the NBA or how long they can play. As long as they squeeze Wang Zhizhi's interests out in the first few years, they can do everything.

"Who else is there in China?!" Bruce was quite surprised now.

Bruce knew that many agents in the United States had started to contact them during their college years. When they announced the draft, they signed with these agents. Besides, few rookies would find agents after the draft because they needed these agents to make arrangements for them to seek higher rankings. Of course, except for the driver, he is the only player in the NBA who is an agent for himself.

The driver is a high-level driver, and he plays for basketball, not just for money, just for basketball. What can you say!

So Bruce was not surprised that Wang Zhizhi had no agent in college. He was just curious that there were people in China who had this trick, which aroused Bruce's interest. He just wanted to see who was able to travel back and forth to contact Wang Zhizhi. You must know that Wang Zhizhi did not play in China. He has been in Seattle for the past few years, and now there are domestic agents coming to find Wang Zhizhi. It seems that he is very sincere!

"Yes, his name is Xia Song. He is the director of the sports marketing department of Nike Sports Goods Company. He is also a agent. He is not asking me to choose him as an agent. He said he could still sign me under Nike!" Wang Zhizhi told Bruce everything he knew.

But after Bruce heard Xia Song, he felt relieved. He knew what kind of person Xia Song was, so Bruce did not comment on this.

What surprised Bruce the most was that Xia Song actually used the Nike brand to poach Wang Zhizhi, which made Bruce really unable to stand it? You, Xia Song, is the director of the sports marketing department of Nike Sports Goods Company. Isn’t it just that you have something to do with them? I don’t care!

Besides, if Wang Zhizhi signs with Nike, wouldn’t his Yulin Sports Goods Company be even less in China? Who doesn’t know that if you sign with Wang Zhizhi, you can get the domestic market first? His Yulin Sports Goods Company is indeed not as famous as Nike. If you can’t win Wang Zhizhi, you will have no status in China.

No, it's definitely not. Xia Song not only needs to poach me, but also needs to crack down on me, the sports goods company. How can I bear it? So Bruce made up his mind to refuse to let Wang Zhizhi sign Xia Song successfully.

"What did you think about it, Brother Da?!" Bruce asked tentatively.

He wanted to know what Wang Zhizhi thought so that he could make arrangements easier.

"Well, I don't care about the agent. Both domestic and foreign ones are fine. As long as I can help me operate well, my dad still likes Xia Song, because my dad said that they are all his compatriots Xia Song will definitely not harm me, while foreign agents are different. They look gentle, but they are very dirty and sinister in their hearts, so my dad belongs to Xia Song as my agent."

"Besides, if Xia Song became my agent, I could still sign a contract with Nike. This is a well-known sports brand. You don't know. When I was studying, I wanted to buy a pair of Nike or Adidas sneakers. If I could sign a contract with Nike, it would be a dream. At least Nike will design a sneaker for me in the future. It would be so wonderful to think about it!" Wang Zhizhi replied very excitedly.

In fact, it was a pity that Wang Zhizhi's father was looking for a domestic agent for him. After all, in the 1990s, Chinese players rarely went out to play basketball. If a foreigner was used as an agent, what should I do if I was cheated? To be on the safe side, it is still reliable in China. After all, I am a compatriot. I believe that my own people will not mess with them.
