Chapter 28: Scouting

Yang Di's life has changed again, and in the week before the Spring Festival, his overall basketball rating reached 45, and his NBA rating was D-, and he was called "an interior rebounder with unlimited potential" by the system. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

There are many Chinese people in Chicago, and as the Chinese New Year approaches, Chinatown also becomes lively.

"Can't this really be washed off?" Yang Di stripped off his upper body, revealing his bare shoulders, and the hideous green dragon wrapped around his shoulders, his expression was a little bitter.

"Why wash it off? It's simply destroying a precious work of art. ”

The old man with cloudy eyes was wearing a pair of reading glasses, and gently stroked Yang Di's thick shoulder, and Yang Di's goosebumps immediately fell to the ground.

"At the beginning, I came up with this trick because of the rescue, but now that the person has been rescued, of course I want to restore the original state."

"If you don't want to make a mess on your body, I advise you to give up the idea of washing off your tattoos as soon as possible, anyway, there are two sides to things in this world, and if you can't see one side, maybe it will be beneficial."

"It's almost the New Year, aren't you going home?" The old man put his reading glasses down.

"I'm not going back." Yang Di sighed, "Actually, there is time, but if my parents saw this tattoo on my body, they wouldn't have beaten me to death." ”

And the fare back is also very expensive. Yang Di silently added in his heart.

"That's a pity, if it's the Spring Festival, it should be reunited with my family." The old man said happily.

"Cai Ye, has it been a long time since you went back?"

"It's been more than 30 years. I came to Chicago before the establishment of diplomatic relations, but I didn't expect so many years to pass in a flash. ”

"Haven't been back in years?" Yang Di put his clothes back on, and the green dragon tattoo was covered.

"That's right."

Yang Di was melancholy in his heart, stood up and prepared to leave, "Then I'll leave first, Cai Ye, if you go back to China, I will bring you our specialties." ”

"That's the best."

Yang Di walked out of Chinatown and walked alone on the street, the wind was a little cold in winter, and there were few pedestrians. A lonely stranger, when you are alone, you feel lonely.

His phone rang.

"Hey."

"Hey, Dick Young, where are you?" Finney's voice always sounded strange when it was electronically processed.

"I just got out of Chinatown and was walking on the road."

"Good news for you."

"What?"

"Shouldn't you be excited?"

"Already excited, OK?" Yang Di rolled his eyes helplessly.

"Okay, my brother, you know what, you're being spotted by NBA scouts!" Finney spoke a point faster, "I had an NBA team scout come to me today. ”

"Active, you know? Knicks, New York, big city, you're going to send it! My brother. ”

The voice on the other end of the phone was full of excitement, and Yang Di subconsciously moved the phone away from his ears a little, the Knicks' scout? Concerns in big cities? Can't tell how he feels at the moment, indifferent? Or is it a little joy after suddenly knowing? In short, the imagined ecstasy did not come, and Finney was more excited than he was.

"I don't care where you are now, you have to come back right away, you know!"

"Okay, I know."

On a sparsely populated street in Chicago, a tall young man wrapped himself in a coat and quickened his pace.

......

From the point of view of life-writing, the guy with a big nose in front of him is really like a dwarven elder in a magic movie, with a rough face.

He swept away the delicacies on the plate on the table, then took a sip of the beer in his glass, and burped comfortably, just a cigarette at the end.

Finney cleverly handed over a cigarette and lit it on fire, sending green smoke to the air.

"It's not that I'm bragging, there are not 80 basketball seedlings in the world, but 100."

"Is it the other way around?" Yang Di was speechless in his heart.

"I know you're a young player, you're physically strong, even though your technique is as rough as a schoolboy. Of course, that's not the point, you know, the NBA is a melting pot and you need my packaging, and with the charm of publicity, being a star of tomorrow is just around the corner. ”

"Listen, listen!" Finney stabbed Yang Di underneath, his eyes signaled, and he was even more excited.

Yang Di's doubts became even heavier, "Packaging? "Truth be told, he never believed that packaging could allow a person to survive in a brutal competitive league. If the packaging works, it can only make some players a parallel commodity.

"Ahem, but you also have to know that there are so many talented players who have entered the league during the same period. Every day, so-called talented basketball players from all over the world come to the club to try their luck and hope to become a player at the club, even if it's just a temporary job on a ten-day contract. The wine trough nose talked eloquently, and the saliva sprayed Yang Di's face.

"So?" Yang Di interjected.

"So, you need my recommendation." The wine trough nose raised his chest and said proudly.

"Thank you so much." Finney said with a smile, and almost bowed.

"Thank me for what I'm doing, it's my job." The wine trough nose said hypocritically, and the skin smiled without smiling. "But ......"

He paused and continued: "We New York Knicks are NBA giants, and the threshold for entry is higher than that of ordinary NBA teams, just like the Bulls in Chicago, where you need to pay a higher referral fee. ”

"Referral fee? What is the referral fee? Yang Di keenly grasped the word and pricked up his ears vigilantly.

"Don't you know?" The wine trough nose pretended to be surprised, and then a dissatisfied look appeared on his face, "Finney, this is yours, isn't it, why don't you make it clear to our Dick Young." ”

Then without waiting for Finney to speak, he took the initiative to explain: "The introduction fee is the fee paid by players outside the league to scouts, we introduce you to the NBA, it is not compulsory labor, you have to pay a certain fee, this is the NBA has always been a rule, anyway, we all know." ”

"Yes, yes, it does." Finney laughed.

"How much?"

"Three thousand dollars."

"Three thousand dollars?!" Yang Di almost jumped up, his eyes widened, and he subconsciously covered his chest, "Why is it so expensive, you rob it?" ”

"What are you talking about, three thousand is already discounted for the sake of Finney's face, and no one is missing." The wine trough nose was very dissatisfied with Yang Di's reaction.

"I refuse." Yang Di gritted his teeth and said three words.

"What?!" Finney and Troughnose were taken aback at the same time, as if they had seen aliens, dumbfounded.

Immediately, the sloppy man in the wine trough nose exploded in an instant as if he had eaten a powder keg, and his voice became sharp: "Do you know what you're talking about? Young man, you're turning down an invitation from an NBA giant. Who do you think you are? Do you think you're Tracy McGrady or Chris Webb? You're just a wild player who hasn't played regular basketball at all, and a player like you who can go to the NBA and see what is already a gift from God, damn hillbillies, bed bugs in the dirt, you can't get into the NBA at all! ”

Finney was also surprised by Yang Di's amazing move, but when he heard the wine trough nose say this about Yang Di, he instantly became angry, "Hey, wine trough nose, how can you say that about my brother, keep your mouth clean." ”

Yang Di Huoran stood up, leaning over to look at the wine trough like a mountain, his cold eyes flashing with devouring cold light, like a hideous beast, and his momentum was overwhelming. The wine trough nose breathed sluggishly, and the hairs stood up in an instant, and he smelled a smell of blood.

"It's just a sheep, so why pretend to be a badger wolf." Yang Di snorted disdainfully and walked out without looking back.

Finney then followed Yang Di and walked out, turning around and giving the wine trough nose a middle finger.

"Bastard, you're going to regret it, you arrogant guy with no one in sight!" The wine trough nose woke up from his paralyzed state, and shouted behind Yang Di, annoyed and angry.
