You'd better wrap me

Chapter 28 Unexpected encounter

Back at Park View Apartment, Su Yang called old Hicks and Pelinka successively, inviting them to discuss the plan in detail.

At four o'clock in the afternoon the next day, the three of them gathered in Venice Beach, and they first talked about the ongoing finals during the chat.

"It's a shame Kobe..."

Pelinka said with emotion: "His personal performance is actually very good, but the Nets' internal restraint is far inferior to the Spurs. O'Neal averaged 38 points per game in two games, and the Nets have no possibility of a comeback. That almost made O'Neal lock the FMVP. .”

Su Yang didn't know how to answer the conversation, it was very embarrassing.

In his opinion, Kobe's first three consecutive championships is the most embarrassing existence among all historical super giants.

Mainly the Lakers are in the West, and O'Neal's performance is normal when they encounter strong inside teams such as the Spurs. However, in the three finals, the Pacers Schmitz, the 76ers Mutombo, and the Nets Kenyon Martin are almost all free. Let O'Neal play an amazing performance.

O'Neal's performance is indeed stronger, but it has not reached the point where a guard can play three times in a row. The core champion who made Kobe unable to compete finally became the basis for the theory of lying down. Curry is also embarrassing, and his contribution is quite large. The result was said to lie down and win.

Old Hicks was also silent, so in order to avoid further embarrassment, he took the initiative to say: "Tell me about your plan."

Su Yang took over the topic: "At the end of September, I want to go to Rock Park in New York to try to play against NBA players. It doesn't matter if I don't meet them. The main thing is to show them to the outside world through more channels. ESPN shoots something and puts it on the news, and those AAU games, other than showing them to scouts, are no longer helpful to me..."

In the AAU competition, the 16-18 age group, one year older and one year younger, have a great impact on the results of the game.

The difference in strength of confrontation caused by the critical age will cause many performances to lose their judgment value.

For example, Jordan’s brother, who is 173 cm tall, can pull the bar behind his back and fold dunks without confrontation, but once there is a strong enough confrontation, it is difficult to play at the NCAA level, let alone AAU games are basically unorganized defense.

LeBron, who is less than 18 years old and 200+ centimeters tall, can obviously gain a lot of muscle, so he was not questioned like that.

"I have acquaintances over there."

Hicks Sr. said, "I'll put you in touch first to see if we can arrange a game against NBA players."

Pelinka said: "I will contact ESPN, but it will be more difficult to broadcast in the news. Before Carter and Iverson went to Rock Park to play games, they failed to arouse EPSN's interest in reporting. Anyway, I Help you fight first."

Su Yang nodded to express his understanding. After all, ESPN is a national TV station. If they want to officially mention a certain non-famous player, they need to be of great value. Just going to play Rock Park by themselves obviously can't reach that level. Kobe would be embarrassed.

That is to say, ESPN has to build momentum for the live broadcast against LeBron after Thanksgiving, so that it is possible to follow up with something for backup.

"How about some gimmick?"

Old Hicks said, "For example, wearing a headgear to play a game, or wearing a Spider-Man suit to a game. Spider-Man, which was released in May, is very popular, or make up as a black person or an elderly person. Anyway, it adds a sense of mystery and contrast. direction."

"It's a good direction, but the guys who play against him may think that he wears a hood or Spider-Man clothes, which is a deliberate act of underestimation, and needs to be communicated in advance. It is too difficult and too sensitive to make up as a black man. It is best not to that way..."

Pelinka shook his head repeatedly between words, "I suggest just playing normally, to get a high score as a selling point, just check in."

"Indeed, it's just a punch card."

Su Yang nodded in agreement. A game in Rock Park can only help him become famous, and it is difficult to prove anything more.

After making a plan, the three of them turned to chat about the draft.

Pelinka said that Dayao's election as the No. [-] pick is very sure, because Dayao went to Chicago to participate in the trial training before, and the scouts, coaches and executives from all walks of life gave good comments, which will be of great help to Su Yang's future election. After all, where there is first, there is second.

Su Yang nodded as he listened, but he didn't think the Chicago joint trial training would be of much help to Yao's selection as the No. , Impressed many American fans, and even Dream Four head coach Tomjanovich, not to mention the Rockets are interested in the domestic market, and 02 was a small year for the draft.

Jay Williams' top pick is also quite high.

But it was the Rockets who got the No. [-] pick. They already had Francis in their lineup, so it was difficult to choose another point guard.

On NO.12 the next day, the Los Angeles Lions played again.

The opponent is the Frozen from Alabama, led by No. [-] James Lang in the Rivals.

In the first round of the opening round, Su Yang went directly to cover and trained James Lang. Compared with his previous center opponent, Howard, James Lang had a huge gap, especially in lateral movement speed and agility. Simple shaking could not keep up with defense pace.

In just 10 minutes, Su Yang led the team to lead by as many as 21 points, and then turned on the assist mode to train players who were not familiar with the organization on the spot, thinking of preparing for the future EA sports, Jordan training camp, and McDonald's All-Stars.

It was mainly to cooperate with Farmar. When the game was over, the Lions won wildly. Su Yang personally scored 19 points and 18 assists.

The team then set off for Oakland, Northern California, preparing to play a few more games near the home of the Golden State Warriors.

When they got to the place, old Hicks called.

"I have contacted the Rock Park event manager. They don't recognize your achievements and are unwilling to arrange a special game for you, but they will not refuse you to challenge, as long as you can gather a team or designate a single Pick a certain player."

"That's fine, I'll slowly join my teammates."

Su Yang was a little surprised, but instead thought it was quite normal. Even many NBA players went to Rock Park, so there was no need to reverse the popularity. He has almost zero achievements at present, and he is still a foreigner. normal mode.

NO.14 On this day, the Lions played against the Howard Ski Leopards from Minnesota, led by Rivals No.12 Chris Humphries.That strange name, Su Yang looked at it and wanted to complain, what kind of existence is the ski leopard.

Humphries focused on swimming when he was a child. Like Duncan, he also defeated Phelps and created the 10-meter and 50-meter free swimming records in the United States under the age of 100. He changed to basketball at the age of 12. champion.

"This is also a genius, but it's a pity that the shooting is too poor!"

With emotion, Su Yang took the ball to break through, stared at Humphries defense easily and put the ball into the net, then turned around and took the initiative to switch defenses with his own power forward. Raise your hand to steal, and then turn to a long pass to assist.

Like the Frozen against Alabama, Su Young led the Los Angeles Lions to crush Howard Ski Panthers from start to finish.

After the whole game, Su Yang scored 24 points and 22 assists, which made the scouts on the sidelines feel dull.

Back at the hotel, Pelinka called.

"ESPN is not willing to arrange photographers to follow your trip to Rock Park, but they also said that they can accept the videos and photos we took by ourselves, that is, they are not willing to spend more money, and I will arrange for Bran to go with you one trip."

"That's fine too."

With the previous rejection from Rock Park organizers, Su Yang further clarified his status. The national live broadcast appeared as LeBron’s challenger. If the timeline hadn’t changed, Evan Harris from Oak Hill High School would have played the challenger. .

What dunks DJ Stroberg at Polly Arena, what AAU league dunks Howard, what Jimmy Fox collaboration songs, what Jordan and Kobe's praises, all can only be regarded as foreshadowing, and an iron record is needed.

Putting away his impatience, Su Yang continued to lead the team to AAU games, and his personal training did not relax. From the most basic dribbling, to various intermediate technical movements, to the most difficult defensive reading and on-the-spot command, all have.

Mainly according to my own experience, as well as what players like Garnett, LeBron and Durant said, AAU games can only be shown. If you really want to become stronger, you have to accept professional guidance and train hard for a long time. Can live alone.

The female classmates turned down all summer swimsuit party invitations, and only occasionally played StarCraft with Ron and Tommy.

In July, together with Farmar, Su Yang led the team to challenge Livingston, Al Jefferson, Rudy Gay, LaMarcus Aldridge and others from other places, as well as Robert Swift from California. Dorrell Wright et al.

Without exception, all win.

After 25 games, there are fewer and fewer scouts watching. The samples are already large enough, and the advantages and disadvantages have already emerged.

Jonathan Givony and Tyler Ingle raved about Su Yang in various basketball forums, repeatedly emphasizing that there is only one chance to reach the same level as LeBron James, and that chance is the national live broadcast confrontation after Thanksgiving.

Su Yang's personal ranking also rushed to sixth in Rivals, and 247Sports, which ranked him second before, officially ranked him first. As a result, many fans and scouts ridiculed him, thinking that 247Sports deliberately created a gimmick for publicity.

"Los Angeles Times" reporter Ramona Shelburne specializes in tracking and reporting Su Yang's AAU game record and personal statistics. It may be because the article is well written, but it has aroused the interest of many readers. I hope there will be more detailed reports.

...

September 25th, six o'clock in the afternoon.

"clang!"

Su Yang threw down the barbell, completed weekly strength training, and was about to return to the sidelines to sit down and drink water to rest. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of an extra baseline for measuring height by the wall. Head position, positioning value.

Step back and look back, [-] feet.

About 188 cm tall naked.

Just as he was happy growing a few centimeters, the phone rang, and after he picked it up and connected it, Kobe's voice rang over there.

"Would you like to go to Rock Park? I heard from Rob that you were refused by the organizer of Rock Park to arrange a game alone. This time I will take you to play and let them see the level of Los Angeles street court. By the way, it is arranged by Nike Follow the team."

"go!"

Su Yang laughed out loud, and he was able to take advantage of Kobe's cards. Thinking of Pelinka saying that Nike has the greatest intention to sign him, he can't help but wonder whether Kobe's invitation has a bonus from Nike. Sign with Nike.

It's not easy to ask about this kind of thing, but it doesn't matter.

"By the way, the organizer of Locke Park this time,

The opponents specially arranged for me are Lamar Odom and Jamal Crawford, and LeBron James, and a high school student named Telfair. You take care of LeBron! "

Su Yang raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.

Just met LeBron unexpectedly?
A game that was ready to clock in suddenly became historic?
　Team up directly with Kobe against LeBron!Ask for votes!
