Hearing Zhang Jun's question, Jeff Schwartz smiled. This was his profession, and he wasn't afraid of Zhang Luo's question.
"Zhang, although you are the first pick and the market behind you guarantees that you will not lack commercial endorsements, you still have a lot of things that you need me to do outside the stadium."I can help you run whichever team you want to go to. I can communicate with the management team which teammates you want to work with. Then I can help you design your career, your brand image, and help you solve some problems in the media or in your life. On another level, you can treat me as your nanny. As long as it's outside the field, I can help you settle it. I'm a professional nanny," Jeff Schwartz said.
Zhang Jun smiled. Indeed, Jeff Schwartz knew what he needed.
Indeed, in addition to playing basketball, there were many things that players had to do outside the court. These needed to be handled by professionals.
Jeff Schwartz was indeed very experienced in this area.
"Where do you think I'm most likely to go?”
"The Bucks, the Knicks, the Wizards, the Thunder, the Clippers, and the Kings have the worst records and a high probability of getting the first pick.”
"Then which team do you think is the most suitable for me?”
"It's the Knicks without a doubt."
"Then can you help me go to the Knicks?”
"I'm sorry."
Zhang Jun smiled at Jeff Schwartz.
This agent was very capable, but it was not to the point where he could decide who would get the top pick.
Jeff Schwartz smiled awkwardly. Zhang Jun didn't look like a 19-year-old university student. He was too mature.
He was slapped in the face on the spot.
Then, Zhang Jun and Schwartz discussed many things about the future.
Overall, Zhang Jun was very satisfied with Schwartz. He was a professional and had good taste.
In the end, Zhang Jun and Schwartz reached a verbal agreement. The agent's commission was 3%, and the endorsement contract was 8%.
"Zhang, we need to find time to announce your candidacy. When do you have time?”
"After a week, you can start on the other work.”
"Okay, other than the press conference, what's your next priority?”
"You can arrange the special training, trial training, and endorsement. Just make sure that I have enough training time.”
"Yes, no problem."
Schwartz would pay for all of Zhang Jun's expenses during this period of time. When Zhang Jun completed the signing of the rookie, the fees would be returned to him.
This was also the investment that Schwartz had in Zhang Jun. He didn't need to worry about not being able to get it back.

"Zhang, your manager is not bad, better than mine.”Harden said enviously after leaving the cafe.
Harden had been watching Zhang Jun's conversation with Schwartz the entire time. The professionalism of the conversation made him blush.
"Something like that. It's useless to say it. It depends on how you do it.”Zhang Jun smiled.
In his previous life, Harden was indeed dissatisfied with his agent. In the end, he asked his mother to take on the role of an agent and save some money.
Schwartz was very efficient. A week later, he arranged a grand press conference for Zhang Jun.
Dressed in a suit, Zhang Jun announced into the microphone,"I've decided to bring my talent to the NBA!”
Kakaka!
Zhang Jun's influence was no longer what it was two months ago.
Almost all of the media and the teams that were playing badly were waiting for Zhang Jun to announce this.
Zhang Jun had gone from an unknown player to the current top pick in March. It was enough to show the shock he had brought to the fans and the media.
They had an average of triple-double in the knockout rounds and 40 20 20 in the finals.
All of these represented Zhang Jun's combat power and potential!!!
After announcing his candidacy, Zhang Jun officially entered a new phase.
Zhang Jun and Harden stayed at Arizona State University to continue their special training. Schwartz also hired a trainer to help guide the training.
Miyagawa Maya would occasionally come over to be a cannon fodder. After enjoying Zhang Jun's taste, she couldn't stop herself.
Zhang Jun fully experienced the feeling of a woman going crazy. She might have told you in the morning that she had to work today. If you said that you wanted it, she would ask for leave in the afternoon and start working in the afternoon.
Zhang Jun's training was mainly focused on strength and dribbling.
Apart from adding points, one could also increase one's attributes through training.
Zhang Jun's dribbling might not be as good as a point guard's, but it wasn't that far off from a shooting guard's.
Zhang Jun's height, speed, and physical strength made him look like a tank.
Zhang Jun didn't improve his dribbling skills for the big back, but for the fast-break.
If he wanted to dribble the ball and run, no one could stop him at all.
In addition, Zhang Jun exchanged all the victory points he earned from the semifinals for attribute points.
Attribute points between 70 and 80 points were very expensive. One could only be exchanged for one with 5 victory points.
Zhang Jun only managed to redeem six of the 30 points he earned from winning the championship.
Zhang Jun added all of his points to his dribbling, and his dribbling stats became 76.
.............
Zhang Jun and Harden went through special training at the Arizona State Stadium until May.
A portion of Zhang Jun's attributes had a slight improvement.
Zhang Jun was already very strong, and it was unrealistic to expect him to become stronger in a short period of time.
Unfortunately, the NBA still had a long way to go before the start of the season. Zhang Jun was a little eager to play.
May 20th.
The draw for the draft had finally begun.
Zhang Jun's focus was different from the other rookies. The other rookies didn't pay much attention to the draft pick because they weren't sure which pick they would get.
For the vast majority of rookies with lower ranks, they were more concerned about the results of the trial.
The high-ranking rookies desperately expressed their goodwill to the NBA teams.
For example, Curry constantly expressed his desire to go to the Knicks in the media, and Harden repeatedly expressed his optimism for the Clippers.
In his previous life, the Clippers had gotten the first draft pick, but Zhang Jun knew very well that his butterfly team had changed a lot. Many NBA teams had been completely ruined for him.
The poor performance of these teams affected the record of each team, which would ultimately affect the probability of the first pick!
Soon, the top three were announced.
Third pick: The Los Angeles Clippers 'first pick was the Oakland Thunder!
Zhang Jun's heart skipped a beat when he saw the order!
Going to Leiting?
Teammates with Durant and Westbrook?
Where did Harden go?
