Basketball: Starting from the Rodman template

Chapter 11 My name is Woody and I will be famous in the future

Big Ben also prepared a sumptuous dinner for Woody. He was very satisfied with Woody's 5v5 performance in the last game of the training camp.When Woody was surrounded by reporters and all the spotlights shone on him, Big Ben seemed to really see the appearance of Woody answering questions under the spotlight of the NBA in the future.

His first trip to "Bole" came to a successful conclusion.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the task, 2000 achievement points have been issued, please pay attention to check the host!"

At the same time, Woody also received a reminder from the system:

mission completed!

Now the steak on the table in front of me is even more fragrant!
When he was about to leave, Daben took out a contract out of nowhere: "Dude, AND1 is going to provide you with free sneakers for one year, sign your name, and it is estimated that you will receive the first sneaker package in mid-August!"

Hearing this news, Woody's eyes brightened even more.

In fact, he is worrying about this matter!

In one month of training camp, he wore out two pairs of basketball shoes.Fortunately, the AND1 training camp prepared enough basketball shoes for each student, otherwise, he would have to train there with bare soles in a few days.

I thought that after the training camp, I would not be able to enjoy this treatment, but unexpectedly, AND1 even prepared a contract for free sneakers for him!

Woody read the contract carefully and found that it was indeed an ordinary one-year free sneaker contract. He didn't hesitate and signed his name on it. ——This kind of sneaker sponsorship that does not involve monetary interests and is not an endorsement contract is not illegal sponsorship. Almost all "star" high school students have similar sneaker sponsorship contracts.

When Woody returned to the hotel that night, he couldn't fall asleep.Recalling the scene when he was surrounded by reporters scrambling to ask questions after the game, and the scene when he signed the AND1 sneaker contract, he couldn't help smiling.

that taste...

No wonder everyone wants to be a star!
Woody found himself eager for fame even more.

This should be a good thing, because in this way, he has an extra motivation.

As for what problems he would encounter after becoming famous, and what kind of changes would occur in his mentality, he didn't think too much about it.After all, none of this has happened yet, and Woody never thinks about things that far away.

This time back to Akron, the first thing is to make a name for yourself!
Going to sleep happily, the next morning, under the preset alarm, Woody woke up. It was only about 6:9, and it was only daylight. But in order not to miss the [-]:[-] flight, he chose to get up early, pack his luggage, and go to the airport to wait.

I didn't expect to check out at the front desk of the hotel, but saw Ben Wallace waiting at the front desk.

He called out with some doubts: "Ben?"

Wallace turned his head and saw him showing a delighted smile: "Ha, luckily I haven't left yet, I was afraid you would leave...here!"

While talking, Big Ben walked up to Woody, and handed a newspaper in his hand to Woody: "This is one of the reports you were interviewed yesterday. The reporter has a better relationship with me, and the People's Newspaper is in New York. I asked him to send me the printed report. This should be the first time you have published the newspaper. I believe you will want to keep it!"

Woody was already very grateful to Wallace, and at this moment, Big Ben's actions made him feel even more warm.After receiving the newspaper, Woody did not rush to open it, but thanked Wallace very sincerely: "Ben, I think coming to this training camp is the most correct choice for me. I have never formally thanked you... Thank you for your care during this time!"

Ben Wallace waved his hand, saying that it was "a smooth thing", but he couldn't hide the joy and warmth on his face.

In his heart:

Knew it!
The Huaxia boy is like me!
Unlike Charles, he is also a very emotional person!
The key is to speak really nicely!
If it weren't for maintaining the image of a "teacher", it would be ugly to have two big men hugging each other and crying at the door of a hotel early in the morning. Ben Wallace really wanted to give Woody a solid hug.

"Man, the next road is up to you. I believe you have heard about Yao's news more or less. The doubts you will face in the future will not be much smaller than him, but man..." Wallace thumped his chest muscles that were as hard as stone, and gave Woody the last advice, "As long as you always maintain a strong heart, I believe that nothing can stop you! That's it, Woody, I'm waiting for you in the NBA!"

***
With the newspaper specially delivered by Ben Wallace, Woody officially set off and returned to Akron.

On the way to the airport, he spread out the newspaper in his hand, and what came into view was a huge photo of him.

In the photo, he is jumping high to protect the rebound. Next to him, Perkins' dumbfounded expression is very eye-catching.

The title is also very eye-catching: "AND1 training camp surprises Huaxia talent, he only trained for a month, and he beat Kendrick Perkins!" "

The only pity is that the newspaper that published this report is only a newspaper operating in New York State, and its circulation is not large. It is estimated that it will not be able to buy this newspaper when I return to Akron.

But as Ben Wallace said, this was the first time Woody was on the newspaper. After reading the report, he carefully folded the newspaper and put it in the interlayer of the suitcase.

When he pulled up the suitcase again, his eyes were piercing. In the future, he will definitely be featured in a newspaper with a larger circulation and a media with a higher reputation!
After getting on the plane, Woody immediately turned on his system.

"Host: Woody;

From the changes in the data panel, we can see Woody's progress in this month.

The biggest gain is naturally the defensive end. The two items of rebounding have reached the NBA level, and the defense has reached the NCAA level. There are a few items that have not yet reached the NCAA level. One is that Woody has too few games and lacks opportunities to accumulate experience.

In terms of physical attributes, the improvement in coordination is the most obvious, and there are also small increases in other aspects. Considering that Woody is only 17 years old, Ben Wallace did not arrange too much physical training for fear of affecting Woody's development and growth, but Woody's comprehensive physical fitness is already at the middle and lower levels of the NBA.

The slowest progress is the offensive end. Only the dunk has reached the NBA level, and the other aspects have not even reached the high school elite level.

However, the potential in these aspects is here. In addition, there is a teacher Ben Wallace in the training camp. Woody pays more attention to the training of the defensive end and ignores the offensive end. It is only the end of July, and there is still one and a half months before the start of the new semester, and there are still three and a half months before the start of the new season of the high school league.

Moreover, Woody looked towards a certain place on the panel, and a new line was added on it:

Achievement points: 2000 points!
He also has achievement points that can be directly used to increase his combat power.

Don't panic at all!

Akron is only 7 kilometers away from New York, and Woody's 9:[-] plane returned to Akron at noon.Although this is only Woody's "second hometown", let alone, compared with the "Big Apple City", Akron, which has a strong rural atmosphere, still makes him feel a little cordial.

Especially after meeting Wu Erzhuang who came to pick him up.

"How about this month in training camp!"

Wu Erzhuang wanted to carry the luggage for Woody, but Woody refused. His second uncle, who has thin arms and legs, is really not as strong and strong as him, so he should do it himself.

While asking questions, Wu Erzhuang looked Woody up and down, and said to himself: "It seems to be taller and stronger..."

can only say:
All right!

During this month, Woody has indeed undergone changes visible to the naked eye.He didn't bother to elaborate, and directly handed the newspaper that Ben Wallace gave him to Wu Erzhuang. ——Woody confirmed one thing. His incident in the AND1 training camp was only reported in a small area. Otherwise, with his second uncle's temperament of reading newspapers, it is impossible not to pay attention to it.

Wu Erzhuang spread out the newspaper, and the moment he saw the headline, his face became even more rosy with excitement, he said "yes" three times in a row, read the report carefully, and then carefully folded the newspaper again, muttering: "Xiao Di, I will send this newspaper back to China, so that your parents can see what you look like now."

"Okay, Xiao Di, it's really okay, uncle read you right, there are newspapers reporting you so soon!"

The line "Hua Tiancai" on the title made Wu Erzhuang very happy.

After returning home, Woody took out half of the 1900 dollars saved, which is the extra [-] dollars Wu Erzhuang gave, and returned it to Wu Erzhuang.

Wu Erzhuang waved his hand: "Hey, just take it and use it. If you make a lot of money in the future, pay back some more to your uncle, and I will save it to you as your uncle!"

However stubborn, Woody can only take back the thousand dollars.

In the afternoon, he went to the second-hand store where he pawned off his computer and audio system, and planned to redeem both items.

Standing at the door, he was also a little dazed. He really didn't expect so many things to happen in this month.

Walking into the second-hand store, the boss was bargaining with a customer. Woody glanced at the thing on the counter, which was his laptop.

The boss wanted to sell it for $400, and the customer wanted him to make it cheaper by $50. The two argued for a long time, but neither of them would give in.

The appearance of Woody made the two people turn their heads at the same time. The boss recognized Woody, gave the customer a blank look, and said to Woody: "Boy, are you here to sell something again?"

Woody shook his head, pouted, and gestured to his notebook: "And my Walkman, I want to redeem both things!"

"This... I'm so sorry, this customer has already decided to buy it!" As he spoke, he immediately turned to look at the customer next to him who had been arguing with him for a long time, "Don't you want 50 dollars cheaper? If you give it to you, you will give it to you!"

Woody looked at him like this, and laughed. He was not surprised by the boss's reaction, because when he pressured the boss, he told the boss that if he had money in the future, he would still have to redeem it.The boss may be used to such rhetoric, so he replied at the time: "Okay, as long as the item has not been bought, I will let you redeem it at the original price!"

It was his words that made Woody think of making a special trip to redeem the computer.

Now the situation in front of the boss, one is earning less, and the other is not earning, of course he chooses to earn less, which is 50 dollars cheaper!
But the customer is also a person who is good at observing words and expressions. Only through the conversation between the boss and Woody, and the 180-degree change in the attitude of the boss, he immediately guessed the whole story, and he replied very hard: "I'm sorry, I don't want it anymore!"

The boss was embarrassed now, and looked at Woody again.

Woody still looked at him quietly, calmly, as if to say: Do you have any tricks to do?

With a sneer, the boss chose to compromise. The main thing is that Woody's things are not easy to sell. It's been a month, and there is only one customer in front of him. It's still too expensive. Anyway, it can't be sold, so it's better to let Woody redeem it.

"Boy, do you have enough money?"

Woody pulled out the $300 and put it on the counter.

The customer looked at the amount of money, and then thought about the price that the boss asked him, it was almost double the price.Immediately, he gritted his teeth and cursed bitterly: "A profiteer!"

Woody checked the computer and followed the Walkman, and found that the device was in normal use. After it was not damaged, he took out the Walkman and handed it to the customer: "Thanks, buddy, thank you for your righteous act, and let me get my laptop back. This is a small gesture of mine. Although it is not worth much now, it will definitely be valuable in the future."

"My name is Woody, I will be very famous in the future!"
