"You're saying you've got a first-round guarantee? When did it happen? ”

Barbara asked in great horror, and Li Chenglong, who was beside her, also looked at Xiao with a shocked look.

They all found the news so shocking and even unrealistic. How is it possible, how is it possible that there is a team to give a first-round guarantee. Even if he was out of the limelight yesterday now, he is a rookie who has only been in contact with basketball for three months after all.

"Actually, it was two months ago, when the Thunder's general manager, Sam Presti, invited me to come over for a tryout, and I never went. Yesterday afternoon, after that fight, Eisenhower, their deputy general manager, promised me that if there were no surprises, they would draft me with the 24th pick in the first round. And I don't need to go to Oklahoma for a tryout. "Actually, the Clippers made a promise to me yesterday afternoon, but they were only willing to give me a second-round pick, so I declined. ”

"Oh, my God. I've been worried about you, worried that my first player won't make it to the NBA, and it seems like I'm worrying about it for nothing. Barbara shrugged her shoulders, and she relaxed.

Li Chenglong is also very excited, because Xiao Sao got the draft promise, which means that his career is more stable, at least he doesn't have to worry about being fired after the draft, and even becomes an official reporter with the team. Li Chenglong felt excited when he thought of this. It's so cool.

At this time, he remembered what happened before, and he asked Barbara with some uncertainty, "So... Do I still reveal this news? ”

"Absolutely." Barbara nodded with great certainty: "Since it's true, it should be more thorough." You say that Xiao Squat has got the lotto promise. ”

"What?"

Now, it was Xiao Shi's turn to be shocked. Lotto promised? How can it be?

Li Chenglong was accustomed to Barbara's logic, and he nodded: "Okay." I'm going to write an article right away. Before I can do that, though, I need to get some gossip about my personal life, like who your best friend is, who your best coach is, and so on. In addition, we need to take an intimate group photo, otherwise the credibility is not high. ”

"Okay, then you ask." Chic took the opportunity to lie down on the sofa.

Then, Li Chenglong began to ask, or gossip.

He started with his relationship with all the Bruins players, and then talked about Lenny, Byron Davis and John Wooden.

At the beginning, the two were still in a rhythm of asking and answering. Later, after Xiao Shao started chatting, he took the initiative to chat. Since he came to the United States, he chatted for nearly two hours and drank three glasses of juice before finally ending unsatisfied.

Li Chenglong was very happy, because he had gained a lot of money, and he had already planned to arrange the content of the two hours into five articles, the first of which would be about Ranny Kuhn's knowledge. The second part talks about the friendship between Xiao and Westbrook. The third article talks about Byron Davis's support and care for Xiao, and the fourth article talks about John Wooden's deep master-apprentice relationship. The fifth article talks about the road of chic genius.

After the end of the visit, he quickly took a few intimate photos with Xiao Sa to prove the friendship between the two.

That night, Li Chenglong rushed out all five manuscripts, and then he quickly sent the first one over, describing in detail the selfless care of Lenny Kuhn, a scout, for Xiaoxiao, and focusing on Lanny Kuhn as the first noble person on the road to Xiaoxiao's basketball. This article, Li Chenglong wrote very sincerely, because Xiao Shi was very sincere and grateful when he told it.

At the end of this article, Li Chenglong did not forget to carry private goods, focusing on the relationship between him and Xiao Shao. He positioned the relationship as one of two lonely strangers on the other side of the ocean to warm up and encourage each other, and finally, he finally described Barbara's instructions in one sentence: Thankfully, a piece of news worthy of cheering up fans across the country inadvertently flowed out of the mouth of my good friend, who said that a team with a lottery had already made a commitment to him to sign him with this precious signing.

After writing it, he proofread it twice, and then attached two intimate photos of himself and Xiao Shi and sent them over.

Soon, Yan Ming gave a reply: Very good, very touching. I'm going to give you a bonus.

Li Chenglong was a little embarrassed at this time, he tapped the keyboard and replied: What is the bonus is secondary, I just hope that the editor-in-chief can make my good friend and brother on the front page of tomorrow, he is very concerned about domestic fans.

Okay, no problem, say hello to Mr. Xiao on my behalf!

Yan Ming immediately replied.

Li Chenglong stretched lazily and simply replied with a number: 8.

"Jack, good work, good night, good dreams."

Yan Ming's reply was full of concern and friendship, and it was clear that Li Chenglong had now become the most important person among all their reporters, because he was the only one who broke into Xiao Shi's side. Thanks to his presence, the Basketball Defender is quickly ahead of the rest of the media, and they will get more and more exclusive information. And this, will directly drive sales. After all, Xiao Xiao has now won the lotto promise, and the attention in the country will definitely rise, maybe... It is not certain that he will surpass Yao Ming's influence, after all, he is a scoring guard, closer to the fans in terms of height, and more able to please the fans in terms of technical play.

If Xiao Shi really became a star, the Basketball Defender would definitely become the newspaper with the largest circulation in the country!

Yan Ming lay on the chair and thought beautifully.

Suddenly, he quickly got up, sat at the desk and dialed out: "Take down the front page headline of the Lakers, I have another exclusive content." In addition, let the finance send 5,000 US dollars to Li Chenglong's account, and say it is a bonus! ”

After making this call, Yan Ming lay down again, looking at the contents of the mailbox, the smile on his face could not be suppressed, as if he had seen the sales volume of tomorrow.

……

The next day, after Xiao Shi woke up from bed, he thought about it, but still didn't go to training, and called Barbara and Li Chenglong, and he decided to go back to Los Angeles.

Soon, Li Chenglong went to buy a plane ticket and used his winnings.

He doesn't care about this little money at all now. He is already thinking about another question, if Xiao Xiao really becomes a star in the future, whether he wants to leave the basketball front guard and become an independent writer. At that time, just by virtue of his relationship with Xiao Shi, the scoop sold can make him a lot of money.

Back in Los Angeles, Xiao Xiao immediately signed a contract with Barbara to go to a law firm. Although the lawyer is a little strange about the contract proposed by Xiao Shao, because this is a contract that is completely inclined to Xiao Shao, legally speaking, it can even be described as oppressive. However, Barbara did not hesitate because she believed in her own abilities.

Since the two parties have nothing to say, of course, the notary of the law firm will not talk nonsense, and it will have legal effect after receiving the money, stamping and signing.

After the contract was settled, Xiao Shi took the lead in going to John Wooden's house. Mr. Woolden was very satisfied with Chick's cousin in Orlando, and with chic pride, he praised chic a few words fiercely, thinking that he had won face for himself. This made Xiao Xiao a little embarrassed. He hurriedly made a delicious meal for the old man, and during the banquet, he sincerely thanked John Wooden for his help.

In Xiao Sha's opinion, without Mr. Wooden's selfless help, he would not have been able to understand the game of basketball so clearly at such a fast speed. If you don't understand the game, you can't look at basketball from a holistic perspective, and no matter how good your skills are, you won't be able to see the opportunities on the court and do the right thing.

Xiao has always believed that what Mr. Wooden has taught himself is his core strength on the court.

As for my body and technique, it's secondary.

Because, technique can be practiced, and the body can also be honed with time and diligence. Consciousness alone experiences these things, and it must be taught and supported by a wise elder.

After taking his leave from Mr. Wooden, he returned to the Lenny house. Ranny Kuhn was surprised that he wasn't home.

After seven or eight o'clock in the evening, he still didn't come back, so Xiao ran back to bed and fell asleep.

It was the only night in three months that he hadn't gone into a dream, and he had finally taken a day without basketball.

He slept soundly, with a smile on his lips. I don't know if I dreamed of myself galloping in the NBA.

At the time of the chic sweet dream, the basketball front defender newspaper was sold out in China, and their front-page headlines quickly stimulated discussion among domestic fans. The discussion continued from offline to online, and the forum began to be full of cheers.

Although, the fans were also touched by the selfless help of Ranny Kuhn. However, what excites them the most is the line at the end, which is that Xiao Sao gets the lotto promise.

This promise made the fans excited, their original expectation for Xiao Xiao was as long as they could enter the NBA, after all, this is the closest to the NBA among Chinese guards, and now they didn't expect the news of the lottery to come out.

For the fans, the mood is no different from winning the lotto!

The Internet obviously knows no borders, and although China has installed a fireproof wall, the news still flows very quickly to the United States.

All of a sudden, American fans were also a little dumbfounded.

Due to the wide range of reports in the American media, Xiao Xiao has a certain popularity in the United States, most basketball fans still have a wait-and-see attitude towards such a Chinese kid who has only learned basketball for three months, and they also want to see what miracle this guy can create, if he can enter the NBA, it can be regarded as a counterattack story of the American dream.

However, when the lotto promised such news was released.

The arrogant American fans immediately felt the discomfort.

Why? Why did he get the lotto promise? He's just a rookie who has been playing basketball for three months, and China has never had a good shooting guard, so could he be even better than the American talents who have been tested by the NCAA? It must be the Chinese market, it must be those hateful team managers who have compromised for the sake of the Chinese market.

American fans can accept that Xiao Xiao entered the NBA in a very backward way, but they resolutely cannot accept Xiao Xiao entering the NBA in a ranking above American talent.

In the final analysis, this is the so-called strong country self-esteem mentality.

They can give alms to the weak, but they must never allow the weak to suddenly become strong and stand on their heads.
