Thirty-Four: Ability Has Been Superimposed
Jeff Austin, after returning home, Link searched the Internet for this guy's information. Sure enough, this Austin is really the super manager in Link's impression!
In the inventory of the top ten managers in N or the five managers in the NBA, Jeff Austin will always be introduced first by people. That is to say, whether it is an inventory of the top ten managers or the top five managers, people always like to put him at the bottom.
Although it is always "last", there is a phenomenon that no matter which reporter takes stock of the top NBA managers, it is impossible to bypass the name of Jeff Austin. This shows his charm and popularity in the basketball circle.
Jeff Austin has a lot of players, and there are countless star players. Every year, Austin makes millions of dollars from commission alone, a figure that even exceeds some NBA players.
What are the "great gods" under Austin's banner? The well-known Stephen Curry is a client of Jeff Austin. If it weren't for Austin, Curry might have been sent to the Grizzlies or New York in the draft. However, on these two teams, Curry may not necessarily be able to achieve future achievements.
In addition to Curry, LaMarcus Aldridge and Blake Griffin, two of the league's top forwards, are also players under Jeff Austin.
Of course, the biggest difference between Jeff Austin and other managers is that he likes to cooperate with international players very much. He may be the manager who implements the NBA's globalization strategy most thoroughly.
Spanish high tower Marc Gasol, "British Jordan" Lor Deng and other international players have chosen to trust Jeff Austin. Of course, Link also knows that in the future, "Greek monster" Giannis Antetokounmpo will also enter the NBA's field of vision because of Jeff Austin.
Strictly speaking, Link is not an international player, but he does have some peculiarities of an international player. It's no wonder that Jeff Austin is so active in contacting himself.
In fact, as a traveler, Link naturally knew which managers were famous and which managers were not. But it was really helpless to choose Carl Jones. After all, no well-known manager had a crush on him at the time.
In Link's fantasy, Carl Jones will help Link gain a foothold in the NBA, and Link will make Carl Jones from obscurity to global fame. It's as if Rich Paul met LeBron James at the airport, and the story of the two of them entering the NBA began.
But reality slapped Link hard, his fantasy was too childish and beautiful.
But now it's different, a real, well-known manager has come to the door. As a super manager with an annual income of one million, it is impossible for Jeff Austin to appreciate the benefits brought by Link's ten-day short contract, nor would he allow Link to participate in those low-end business activities.
The only interest he can see is the huge Chinese market behind Link. But if you want to fully activate this market, Jeff Austin must let Link gain a firm foothold in the NBA.
With the lessons of Carl Jones, Link is now thinking much more carefully than before. But even after analyzing so many benefits of Jeff Austin, Link did not make a decision in a hurry.
The world of professional basketball is extremely sinister, and no one will throw an olive branch at himself for no reason. Want to survive in the brutal world of basketball? Be more cautious.
And compared to the signing of the manager, there is a more important thing in Link's eyes now-the little white bar he always wanted to fill is close to saturation.

Effort has always been Link's label. So, when Conor walked into the gym early in the morning and saw Link working out, he wasn't surprised.
But Conor didn't know,
It's not just the NBA that drives Link so hard.
Link looked at the progress bar, basically as long as he completed today's training, the progress bar would be filled. The ability of Grant Hill in the 09-10 season will soon be injected into Link's body.
As a diehard Grant Hill fan, Link actually knew that the difference between Hill in the 2009-10 season and Hill in the 2010-11 season was not big. Hill in both periods was at the end of his career, and at most in the 2009-10 season, Hill was tougher in confrontation.
After all, Grant Hill made the playoffs in 2009-10.
Although little has changed, Link is eager to level up sooner. Because only upgrade to the Hill of the 09-10 season, it is possible to go further and obtain the ability of Grant Hill in the 08-09 season.
And where is Grant Hill special in the 08-09 season?
That year, Hill played the full 82 regular season games for the first time in his career, which can be said to be the healthiest year for Hill after a major injury. That year, Hill shot 52.3 percent from the field, the highest of any guard and small forward in the league.
Hill's shooting consistency that year was terrible, and most importantly, Hill's athleticism wasn't completely degraded.
Flying with a big hat, dunking every other person, changing direction and breaking through... Hill can do everything.
If Link has another chance to enter the NBA, he definitely doesn't want to come back after a ten-day short-term job like last time. His intention is to stay in that super league and sign a guaranteed contract. And if you can have the shooting stability and further athletic ability of Grant Hill in the 08-09 season, Link believes that it will not be difficult to gain a foothold in the NBA.
After all, that year's Grant Hill was looted by the Lakers and other teams in the free agency market. However, Hill finally chose to stay in Phoenix. Link doesn't expect to be looted, as long as he can stay on the team.
Thinking of this, Link became stronger and stronger. Moreover, faster upgrades can also help Link know one thing faster - is his ability superimposed, or is it a simple change?
If he is practicing one-handed shooting now, will his shooting ability be preserved when he has the ability of young Hill?
Watching the little white bars fill up gradually, Link seemed to be getting closer and closer to the answer.

"Link, I'm leaving first. You also go home early today. Be careful on the road."
Joan Brockman waved at Link, then closed the door of the training hall. So far, only Link is left in the blue team's training hall.
Since Upshaw's death, Link and Brockman have settled their feud. The two have also changed from a rival relationship to a good partner who assists each other.
Link can help Brockman eat pie on the court, and Brockman can make Link feel at ease behind him.
In the last game against the Vipers, in addition to Link's 52 points, Brockman's 16 points, 6 rebounds and 3 blocks were actually very dazzling. Among them, 2 of his 3 blocked shots came from helping Link to defend. The speed with which they built up chemistry was incredible even for Conor.
Today, Brockman also practiced with Linkgar into the evening. But by seven o'clock in the evening, Brockman couldn't stand it any longer. So now, Link is the only one left in the training hall.
After waving goodbye to Brockman, Link looked at his phone and wanted to call Jeff Austin. But on second thought, he must take the initiative in this matter, and he can't show that he needs Austin very urgently.
So Link put down his phone, picked up the basketball, and continued practicing.
As time passed by, the little white bars in front of Link gradually filled up. After half an hour, Link finally filled the last gap in the progress bar.
The moment the progress bar was filled, Link only felt as if a warm current was pouring into his body. The process lasted only a few seconds, but it felt very intense.
After the warm current merged with Link's blood and became calm, a small line of text appeared in front of Link's eyes.
"Grant Hill's abilities have been superimposed in the 09-10 season."
After the simple text, another empty progress bar appeared. The description on the progress bar is also very simple, "The ability of Grant Hill in the 2008-09 season."
Link sighed, the system he got was really rudimentary, completely different from what he had read in novels before.
Afterwards, Link picked up the basketball and threw a few more shots, but he didn't feel any difference. The only difference is that he feels his body is lighter. After all, he is "younger" by one year.
Link scratched his head, and then pondered the paragraph of text that had just appeared in front of him.
In the 09-10 season, Grant Hill's abilities have been superimposed.
"Wait!?" Link suddenly widened his eyes and looked at his hands.
Abilities are stacked, stacked, stacked.... stacked!
