You'd better wrap me

Chapter 3 5 minutes on stage

With Su Yang's promise, Bran Pelinka left with excitement, as if holding a huge gold brick.

The performance on the field continued, Stevenson and others played tricks, Xiu Xiukong caught dunks and dribbled aggressively, but the onlookers had just watched Su Yang's explosive performance, and they found it boring, not to mention a little bit of confrontation, It's also our own people beating our own people.

As night fell, the fans dispersed, there were other shows in Venice Beach, and a new excitement began.

Old Hicks sighed slightly, and proposed to go for a walk by the beach, Su Yang also thought it was feasible, and the two of them took coffee and set off.

The night wind wrapped the waves rushing together, the enthusiasm of the people playing was undiminished, and the laughter could be heard everywhere.

Chatted a few words about the state championship, and learned that Su Yang still hadn’t received any university scholarship promises and didn’t get much attention from scouts. Old Hicks suddenly sighed: “There is still a lot of discrimination in our world. Players who are completely ignored, I must help you become famous, not only for my league, but also for the world."

"Small things, will be taken care of..."

Su Yang understands the old Hicks' thoughts very well. The old Hicks said several times before that he hopes that Su Yang can go from a street court like Rock Park to the NBA like Ralph Alston, and that Su Yang can become a street player in Venice Beach Football league logo.

Su Yang also imagined the story of the old Hicks: he loved basketball, but he failed to get ahead in New York, and he might even have a problem with the organizer of the Rock Park Street League, so he moved from New York to Los Angeles and devoted himself to organizing 21 annual league.

"It's not a small thing..."

Old Hicks shook his head again and again, "There are many differences in our world, there are white people, there are yellow people, there are black people, some people like peace, some people like struggle, even music can be divided into rock and country, only sports is the whole world. The unification of the world, only sports can make the whole world feel the same joy and sorrow. If you are sent to the NBA, the two largest countries in the world can understand each other better, so whether it is out of selfishness or public welfare, I will I will do my best to help you."

Between the words, Old Hicks looked a little excited.

Su Yang felt a little embarrassed. Compared with his first desire to 'drive a Mercedes-Benz and drink a war horse', the structure was too small.

"Ever since I found out you won your second state championship last month, I've been calling and texting Rob Pelinka every day, hoping he could come and see your practice, but it took so long and he only arranged for an assistant to come over. , I would have known to contact other people..."

It sounds like the elder Hicks was not satisfied with Rob Pelinka's arrangement and thought it was perfunctory.

Su Yang can understand Rob Pelinka's thoughts. At present, there are no other Chinese players in the NBA, not to mention a high school international student, and there is no shortage of clients. Boozer, who is about to enter the election, is a player in Rob Pelinka's hands. , and potential big center Chris Kaman, and as Kobe's agent, there must be a lot of people contacting him.

If I were Rob Pelinka, I would think that old Hicks was just trying to make a gimmick, and he said 'never lose to LeBron in Cleveland', isn't that a bluff, it's really that good, scouts and agents The realm has long since spread.

As for making China and the United States understand each other better, that is too much thinking, even if you become Jordan yourself, it is impossible.

The point is that sometimes it’s not all about discrimination.

Because there are too many people who can play in the United States, the California Basketball League alone is divided into Northern California and Southern California, and each has five levels, hundreds of high schools, and one or two state championships are really difficult to fully prove a player's talent. strength.

It's like being as strong as LeBron in high school, and he has lost the state championship before, but the members of the state championship are obviously not as good as LeBron.

And LeBron is famous for being different from ordinary people, with a strong body shape. He reached 200+ centimeters in height in his third year of high school, but he has the speed of a guard and the weight and strength of a center. His court vision and organizational ability are also top-notch. In elementary school, he alerted the 'cardinal' Auerbach to fly to Cleveland to watch the game, and he has been famous for many years.

Su Yang understands that he has only risen for two seasons. In this era when social media is not yet popular, and he does not have an exaggerated body shape, it is naturally difficult to attract attention. It is a miracle among miracles to have a potential opportunity to play against Kobe. .

But old Hicks was a little anxious.

But considering that the Venice Beach Streetball League is at a moment of life and death, it is understandable. Probably just caring will lead to chaos.

"Let's wait for Rob Pelinka to make an arrangement. When I participate in the draft, I will definitely wear clothes with the Venice Beach logo. I suggest that you can think of something related to cultural shirts and the like to form a brand communication effect... "

Su Yang gave an idea on how to continue the Venice Beach Streetball League. It would be almost meaningless to rely solely on player publicity. Local fans or tourists must also form spontaneous communication. The more commonly used strategies such as making cultural shirts are less costly and more profitable.

Old Hicks thought for a moment when he heard the words: "It's indeed a good way. I'm not good at this kind of thing. I need to find someone..."

Following the topic, Su Yang continued to give his own thoughts, and turned to leave the beach to go home, only to find that the bicycle parked on the side of the road was still there, but the seat cushion and chain were gone. Someone is doing something.

"My Nima?"

In the past, I stopped for such a long time without being disturbed. I thought it would be more simple than other places, but this is what happened. Su Yang was a little confused. He is the hero of Venice Beach tonight, and he actually enjoys such a fucking treatment. .

Painful for a while, Su Yang borrowed his golf friend Stevenson's motorcycle and drove back to his permanent residence, Parkview Apartment, without a license.

Woke up early the next morning.

Subconsciously want to take out his mobile phone to browse the news, but the antique style of the Nokia 3530 made him wake up completely. This is still an era dominated by newspapers and TV. There is no Twitter and INS, and Facebook has not yet been created. The collector's story hasn't gotten around yet.

After breakfast, I rushed to school, hurriedly finished my morning class, and then had a simple lunch with a few female classmates.

Soon it was time to leave school in the afternoon.

Old Hicks called to inform the negotiation, and rushed to Venice Beach again. Su Yang saw Old Hicks sitting with Bran Pelinka from a long distance, and there was an elite player next to him, who should be Kobe agent Rob Pelinka.

After a brief exchange of greetings, the five went to the bar on the street to continue their discussion, while Rob Pelinka went straight to the point.

"Bran has already told me your basic information. I didn't pay attention to you before. It was my negligence in work."

"I can arrange for you to play Kobe one-on-one at the Staples Center, then introduce you to an AAU team, help you get publicity step by step, and show your strength, but I am an agent, and I will not spend it in vain. Time, so I need you to promise to sign an agent contract with me after you decide to participate in the draft, and the specific commission ratio can be negotiated, how about it?"

Rob Pelinka finished speaking to Su Yang, but turned to look at Old Hicks, as if thinking that Old Hicks could make up his mind.

"I'm just friends with him!"

The old Hicks understood what Rob Pelinka meant in seconds, "It has nothing to do with me how he makes decisions. He is not a child."

Face and respect are directly filled.

Su Yang patted the table lightly: "Happy, I just like your straight-forward temper..." Money is money, no fake packaging of "helping you become better" can make Boozer break the contract Knight is a logical and self-consistent operation.

Currently unable to sign a contract, Rob Pelinka is taking a risk to operate. Although he only made a verbal promise, he will not do something that violates the promise. Anyway, he will not be sentenced to death in advance because of the potential taint of the other party in the future.

"Then you have to be prepared to go all out. At that time, you are a fan of Kobe in name, but Kobe will not show mercy. You should have seen his performance at the All-Star Weekend. He will play seriously as long as it is a duel. You Even if you encounter zero seals, you must have something to write reports about, such as fast speed, the time is set for the No. 12 game against the Wizards in March, pre-match training, 5 minutes!"

Su Yang nodded silently. In 5 minutes, he spent more than ten days rushing to prepare, at least trying to score two goals.

And if you want to score the ball in one-on-one singles during Kobe's peak defensive period, it is best to be the best of the best.

While thinking about it, he couldn't help raising his right hand.

Maybe it's an idea to fake the ball with one hand.
