You'd better wrap me

Chapter 11 The old enemy
Su Yang put down a harsh word, took Tommy and other teammates away, and prepared to go to the steak restaurant next to the beach to celebrate.

Assistant professors from universities such as California Berkeley, Oregon, and Stanford also left. The three of them were in a hurry and worried. They also left, leaving only Santa Monica High School coach David and UCLA head coach Ben Holland.

Looking at the back of Su Yang walking out of the arena, Ben Howland turned to David and asked with a chuckle, "That kid has quite a personality. Forsun, is he always like this?"

Between the words, Holland thought of another talented boy, Lenny Cook, who defeated Stoudemire, Carmelo Anthony, and Chris Bosh in the past two years, and won the MVP of the Adidas ABCD training camp in New York. Rock Park, with NBA players such as Ray Allen and Marbury, is as famous as LeBron James and can be called a rising superstar.

But two years have passed, and Lenny Cook, who is about to participate in the 02 draft, has not been guaranteed by any team. Among them are knee injuries and poor high school grades, which led to him being diagnosed with dyslexia. But the most important thing is Lenny Cook refused to obey the guidance. He transferred four times after five years in high school. Every time he went to a high school, he had conflicts with the coach. He also owed a huge amount of money and had children under age. You can only go to NBDL to prove yourself again.

"I know what you're worried about..."

Coach David also laughed, "Su Yang is not only outstanding in basketball, but also has near-perfect academic performance. He gets close to full marks in every course in every exam. He is also willing to help others, helping students reinstall their computers and systems, but he takes the initiative to stay away from those students. The admiration given to him by girls, he is usually the most active in training, he arrives at the earliest every day and leaves at the latest, his self-discipline is comparable to that of an NBA player..."

"Really? I don't believe..."

Ben Howland was slightly shocked, "Then what does he usually play? At his age, being too mature would be a burden."

"I don't know much about that, but I've heard them discuss StarCraft several times. He claims to be the number one Zerg player in the Los Angeles area. It should be a video game. He also wrote some raps. The melody is quite good. Among them There is a line I can even sing, listen to it...ahem...Oh the misery, Everybody wants to be my enemy..."

"Ah, this..."

Coach Ben Howland was completely confused. As a person who basically doesn’t listen to music, he also felt the dynamic part of this melody. The key point is that the lyrics are quite mocking, what’s the matter, “Oh, sad, everyone wants to be with me.” Enemy', too cool.

Is there really such a perfect high school student?
"Haha, Su Yang is destined to become an epoch-making figure, so I have never felt anxious about the mistakes in the inspection of several of your universities before. His talent cannot be concealed. Even if the racial factor has a huge influence, he is the sun at noon!"

"Oh, it's a pity that we didn't pay attention to the videotape sent by old Hicks before. Although I apologize, but..."

"Don't think too much, even if he chooses you, you won't like him, even though you really want him now."

"why?"

"Because he will weaken the existence of the coaching staff, and his tactical thinking is very advanced. The UCLA system that your school focuses on, as well as the triangle offensive system of the Lakers and Bulls, in his opinion are not flexible systems. If he chooses to join you, He will design tactics according to his ideas. From formulating tactics before the game to requesting a timeout during the game, the players will listen to his arrangements. If you use the authority of the head coach to stop him, he will abide by it, but from then on, you must every time You can make the right arrangements every time, otherwise other players will question your decisions, because Su Yang can always think of good decisions, and you will be under a lot of pressure..."

Ben Howland was stunned. If a talented player turns himself into a puppet or a mascot, is it worth it?
"That's the side effect of genius. Fortunately, I don't care about this person. I even have the mentality to learn from him." Seeing Ben Holland stunned, the UCLA assistant professor Bob Kato next to him was also stunned. , Coach David shrugged resentfully.

After a moment of silence, Ben Howland sighed slightly, and said with some comfort: "Our chances of success in recruiting are very low. His agent, Rob Pelinka, has been frantically calling coaches from various universities in recent days to discuss letting him Skip senior year, go straight to college, participate in the draft next summer, and learn from LeBron's team. I hope the NBA will lift the restrictions on participation, and try to participate in the draft in June this year, but the NBA should not pass LeBron and his application. , we still have a chance..."

"Then come on! I wish you success!"

Coach David smiled and patted his shoulders to encourage him. He knew that there were very few coaches who could refuse the temptation to coach Su Yang. He did not try his best to help Su Yang become famous, but he was afraid that Su Yang would be poached by other famous high schools. After this competition, Finally feel less guilty.

With 52 points in a single game and leading the team to the first-level league state championship, even if Pelinka doesn't buy the draft, reporters from ESPN and Turner Sports will also promote it spontaneously. Before the game, there were reporters who saw Time Warner. The explosion of genius is too interesting.

After all, the American dream, too many people want to become famous overnight, Su Yang, as a Chinese student studying abroad, is full of various elements.

...

In the evening, Su Yang bid farewell to Tommy and other teammates at the steak shop, and rode a newly bought bicycle to Venice Beach.

The streetball show was being held, and the old Hicks was chatting and laughing with everyone. It was a surprise that Rob Pelinka was also there.

After saying hello and chatting for a while, Rob Pelinka took the initiative to turn to the topic: "I have already contacted Jordan Farmar. He is willing to join you in representing the AAU Los Angeles Lions. The request is that you score him a Kobe Bryant. Signed poster…”

Su Yang shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, thinking that there is really no way to get Super Komi. Fortunately, with Pelinka, it is very easy to sign the poster.

"In addition, your game in the afternoon has already attracted the attention of many TV stations. There will be a lot of reports in the week starting tomorrow. I also contacted you for an interview with the "Los Angeles Times". You will follow my arrangement when the time comes. ..."

"Need not!"

Su Yang waved his hand and refused, "I can answer the questions by myself. You don't have to worry about me being led to say something wrong by those reporters. In addition, you don't have to worry about me signing with other agents before participating in the draft. I will keep my previous promise to you."

Old Hicks nodded in agreement, and said with a smile: "Rob, I assure you with my personality, he is a man of faith."

Pelinka showed a bit of embarrassment when his thought was exposed, but he pretended it didn't happen in the blink of an eye, and then said: "There is also an invitation from EA Sports Round ball Classic, they hope you can represent the West..."

EA Sports Roundball Classic is the three All-American high school basketball games named after McDonald's High School All-Stars and Jordan AJ Training Camp, plus the Nike Peak Invitational and Adidas ABCD Training Camp, basically covering all high school students' top duels, but Since the Nike Summit Invitational was discontinued in 2000, there are only three others left.

Reebok training camps and the like are also being held, but the overall influence is low. Su Yang has studied abroad for several years and learned something about it.

Since EA Sports sent an invitation and has such a big influence, it is necessary to see if it is worth a visit.

"Is there a list of other players involved?"

Su Yang vaguely remembered that last year's EA Sports event was relatively poor, the ratings were quite low, and there were no well-known players. This time, at least there must be Carmelo Anthony, otherwise the game will not be exciting enough and the income will be relatively low. It is better to train more.

"I just wanted a copy..."

Pelinka thought it was okay because he was worried that Su Yang would meet a too strong opponent, so he asked for the list of other participating players in advance, and immediately took it out of his briefcase, "You may meet the strongest opponent in this competition, it should be Lan Nikuk, but his level is not as good as before, I think you have no problem beating him, as long as you win, it will help you build a greater reputation..."

Su Yang listened to Pelinka's narration, took over the list of players to check, and soon finished browsing all of them, and found that apart from Lenny Cook, only Raymond Felton was more capable, and the others were all players who had no chance to make it to the NBA. , the strength will be lower.

"Forget it, I won't go this time..."

Su Yang handed the list back to Pelinka, "Those guys can't match my strength, and the game will become a unilateral crush by me. Wait for the next game, and LeBron will participate. In the high school, only LeBron to fight me."

Between the words, it is virtually stated that he will not skip the senior year and go directly to college unless LeBron participates in the draft in advance.

Old Hicks nodded: "He has regarded LeBron as the only opponent since three years ago. He didn't suddenly play big cards."

"Then you will become old enemies with him..."

Pelinka took a deep breath, "I have watched LeBron live ten times. As your agent, I can say responsibly that he is no worse than you. Many players who have faced him head-on have become his stepping stones, such as Lenny Cook, I just mentioned, I don't mean to look down on you, I just want to remind you that if you want to beat LeBron, you must maintain a long-term effort."

He said that he didn't mean to underestimate him, but Su Yang knew that in Pelinka's eyes, he was inferior to LeBron.

It's normal to have that kind of view, because LeBron's height of more than two meters, the size of the center, the speed and skills of the guard, in basketball, which pays attention to height and strength, occupy too much advantage. Think about Curry, and Durant The difference with LeBron.

Even Carmelo Anthony, before his senior year in high school, was not valued by scouts because he was thin and short. It took him two full years to become the best player of the year in the Baltimore Catholic League. Basketball is too emphatic resistance.

"I understand what you mean."

Su Yang nodded, "Contact the AAU league as soon as possible, I can't wait to play against the All-American talent."
