0040: You're Wrong [1/3]
Kevindin has undoubtedly been very happy lately, and last Saturday the sales of the sports special edition increased significantly more than the editor-in-chief's expectations, selling more than 18,000 copies, almost doubling the sales, and still counting.
An important reason for the doubling of sales is Snoopy.
UCLA defeated Kansas State University and Arizona State University back-to-back last week, and the puppies played well in both games.
This is very gratifying to the readers who have followed him from the beginning, and there is a feeling of 'looking at the little tree planted' that suddenly grows into a giant tree.
Today, the puppy's reputation in California surpasses that of even some of the most popular rookies.
Kevinding walked into the arena and he told the puppy, "Snoopy, you have to thank me." I've heard that there are some businesses in Los Angeles that are willing to talk to you now. As long as you take two photos and stand in the doorway, you can get paid more than $5,000. It's really a star-like treatment. ”
The puppy shook his head with a smile as he told Kevinding, "Come on, Kevin." Do you know what Mr. Duan said when he called me yesterday? Some manufacturers in China have already called him, and some of them have even offered 200,000 yuan for endorsements. Listen, 200,000 RMB, close to 40,000 US dollars. ”
Kevin Ding laughed and quipped, "However... As an NCAA player, you can only watch, you can't do any commercial promotion. Hahahaha! ”
The puppy gave him a blank look: "Listen, Kevin." I'm not like you, and I'm not short of money. ”
"Well, you've won, damn rich boy." The crit of money made Kevindin lose the courage to continue complaining, and he changed the subject: "Your opponent today is the twin brother of Stanford University, are you ready?" I don't want you to be beaten back in this game. ”
"I said... Kevin, are you expecting too much from me? Now that these three draft platforms are first-round lottery picks, and both are over seven feet tall, you don't expect me to beat them like Pendegraf, right? The puppy looked at Kevinding with wide eyes, he was a man who studied economics, he was very sensible, and he had a lot of respect for objective facts.
"Why not? Snoopy! If you blow up their brothers, you'll get a different kind of attention! It's going to be your battle for fame, don't you want your name to be on the draft prediction list? Don't you want to become a millionaire or even a multi-millionaire right away? ”
Kevinding tried to motivate the puppy, and he did something similar to Ben Holland.
"In these games, I found out that you have a serious problem. You don't always show the desire to surpass your own abilities in the game, you always do what you do, you use your cleverness, your bounce, your positioning, your blocking, your rebounding to affect the game. You're doing a great job, but I think you can do better. ”
"Lose your identity as a rich kid, lose your inner sense of superiority, and even forget that you are a top student at Anderson College. When you go out on the pitch, you're a player, and you're supposed to be like a hungry beast to fight, to bite, to fight for survival. Learn from Russell Westbrook, he's your role model! ”
Kevinding's tone was agitated.
It was the first time he had spoken to a puppy like that.
This is seriously beyond his duty as a journalist.
The puppy seemed a little 'frightened' and he looked at Kevendin in surprise.
Kevinding's agitation gradually calmed down, and he said softly, "I'm sorry, I just think of you as my friend, and I hope my friend can be better." ”
The puppy smiled, and he reached out and patted Kevinding on the shoulder, "Thank you, Kevin." Thank you for treating me as a friend, and thank you for saying these things to me. ”
At this time, the manager of the business promotion department, Peterson, came over and told the puppy that the Chinese press corps had been arranged in a temporary conference room, and he hoped that the puppy would hurry up and come over for an interview, because Coach Ben Holland would have to conduct a full-field mock confrontation drill next.
The puppy said goodbye to Kevinding.
Kevindin handed the puppy a USB stick and said, "This is my favorite three players in the game, and I've always wanted to give it to you." ”
The puppy took the USB flash drive and said thank you again.
On the way to the conference room, the puppy kept thinking about what Kevendin had to say.
Kevinding is right that he has always done what he can do, and for him, basketball is more like a fun game.
However, gaming and competition are two different things!
Walking into the conference room, the puppy immediately showed a decent smile on his face, he greeted every reporter politely, and he gave people a feeling of spring breeze.
Even if it's the first time you meet, it doesn't make people feel cold or rejected.
……
"He has a good upbringing, a lot of knowledge, a sense of humor, and a smart brain that can learn as soon as he learns." On the sidelines, Ben Holland said to Kevending: "But he's still a kid, a kid spoiled by a privileged family. He was always carefree, everything was well placed, and he never felt hungry or thirsty. So it's hard for him to show that aggressive aggressiveness on the Circle...... Alas! ”
Ben Holland sighed, and Kevending next to him nodded helplessly.
"You're wrong. Snoopy is not a rich kid who is content with pleasure. ”
Westbrook's voice suddenly sounded from behind him, and he walked over: "I have lived with him for a year, and I know him better than all of you. He was no less competitive than me, he was far more courageous than mine, and he was the only one who dared to stand up and fight when Darren Collison was in the dormitory, even when he was only 1.7 meters. ”
"Snoopy just hasn't decided on basketball as his career yet, if he's sure to do it. You'll all see his aggressiveness. He is a stalker who dares to fight tanks hand-to-hand!! ”
