knife point guard

Chapter 51 [What is being strong without desire]

After the interview, Anthony and Suzy walked to the locker room side by side.

"Jack, you should keep a low profile in the future. The NBA is not the NCAA. Every player in this league was once a man of the NCAA, and everyone's comprehensive talent is no worse than TJ Ford. You are so high-profile, it is easy to be targeted."

Carmelo Anthony is an arrogant person, but now he reminds Su Xi to be cautious and low-key.

Suzy smiled and said, "That's why I said that."

"Why? Everyone in the NBA is a genius, you still have to say that?" Anthony was puzzled.

Su Xi thought to herself, if the genius of the NBA is not a crucian carp in the river, I won't say it.They want to punish me, so hurry up, I want it.I leave my talent fusion to them.

"Because I like to fight against geniuses." Su Xi replied seriously.

Anthony was shocked. He thought Su Xi was just talking, but he didn't expect that he really liked confronting geniuses so much.

What kind of state is this?
Is this the legendary 'face fear, overcome fear, become fear'?

Jack's state of mind was too strong for me.

No wonder progress is so fast.

Carmelo Anthony looked at Su Xi with admiration in his eyes, and Su Xi's image in his heart was getting bigger and bigger.

When they were about to reach the locker room, they ran into LeBron James, Allen Iverson, and they were chatting with TJ Ford.

Anthony and Su Xi walked over to greet them.

Everyone was very enthusiastic, only TJ Ford, who had just been blown up, had a somewhat unnatural expression.Su Xi walked straight over. He didn't take the "grievance" on the field to the field. He reached out and gave TJ Ford a high-five.

TJ Ford is also awkward, twitchy, and unnatural.

Su Xi has already started to praise him: "TJ, you are so fast. Your explosive power and speed are really amazing. Can you take me to train in the future?"

Ok?
No one expected it.

They all felt that a young man like Su Xi, who just beat TJ Ford on the court, should be arrogant off the court.But Su Xi praised TJ Ford so sincerely, and hoped that TJ Ford would take him to train.

It made TJ Ford a little embarrassed, and he thought to himself: I am a small person.

"Okay. Let's find a chance to practice in the future." TJ Ford smiled.

"When?" Su Xi asked seriously, "Do you have time tomorrow?"

what?
This time, TJ Ford's question was overwhelmed. He thought he was just being polite, but he didn't expect Su Xi to be serious.

TJ Ford scratched his head subconsciously. He was moved by Su Xi's true feelings, and he even felt a little guilty: Jack is so sincere, but I am so perfunctory.Not good, not good.

Then he also said sincerely: "Jack, I will announce my participation in the draft later. I have a lot of interviews tomorrow, and I have to start preparing for the trial training, and I have to go back to school to go through some procedures. So, during this time... I can't train with you. After that, we will enter the NBA together, and there will be plenty of opportunities."

Su Xi showed a regretful expression.

He then wished TJ Ford: "Come on, I believe you will be selected high. You are really the fastest and most explosive guard I have seen this season. Your passing is also very good. You will succeed in the NBA."

TJ Ford was very moved, he said: "Thank you Jack. You are such a kind person. You will also be successful in the NBA."

He also opened his arms and hugged Su Xi.

Then, saying goodbye to everyone, he is going to meet with his agent to discuss what kind of speech he will use to announce his participation in the draft.

Su Xi waved and watched him leave.

The three people next to him looked at Su Xi and were a little stunned.

They didn't expect Su Xi to be so 'open-minded' off the court, like a hero in a kung fu movie, who would give sincere encouragement after defeating others.

Especially James, he was the most shocked.

He thought to himself: On the court, he is like a violent tiger, and off the court, he is a low-key gentleman. This is the teammate I want.Help me with the dirty work on the court, and keep a low profile off the court.Is there anything better than Jack?

"Jack, there is a chance for us to train together." James offered an olive branch.

Surprise appeared in Su Xi's eyes.James is the person with the best talent scanned by the elves, and he has 4 super talents.Coupled with height, wingspan and weight, it is simply a basketball machine.

"Okay. When?" Su Xi's eyes lit up.

"After the draft." James said: "However, you can also go to the NBA team to try out with me. How about I reimburse your air ticket?"

James is very good at attracting people's hearts. Ordinary people really can't stand his sincerity.

Su Xi thought for a while and said, "I have to discuss this with my agent. Besides, I think it's not good to use your money."

James didn't expect Su Xi to decline.Go to trial training with the Chosen Son, and the Chosen Son will reimburse you for your air ticket. This is a benefit that others can't wait for.Think about the amount of media exposure that being with the Chosen One would have, which Melo doesn't have.Melo's management team is not good at all, and the relationship with the media is also very ordinary.It's not like me...

James was still surprised, Su Xi talked with Iverson.

He is grateful to Iverson, and his tone is full of respect.

And he also asked Iverson: "Is there a training camp in the summer? Do you train in the summer?"

Iverson said: "I never train during the offseason, but I will go to China to participate in brand training camp activities."

Su Xi was slightly disappointed.

At this time, Iverson suddenly called a staff member next to him: "Hey, Mike, come here. What do you think of this kid? He is also Chinese, and he is a guard. He will enter the draft soon. He just finished a beautiful game. I think your brand should consider bringing him, and we will go to China together."

The person Iverson called was Reebok's marketing director, and he came to see TJ Ford.Rice, the co-manager of Iverson and TJ Ford, wanted a bundle to get Reebok to sign Ford.

However, as the game progresses.

Mike didn't see Ford, he saw Su Xi.Even if Iverson didn't call him, he still planned to contact Su Xi tonight.

Especially...he had just seen Suzy's conversation with TJ Ford, James, and Iverson.

He's pretty sure this guy is going to be a star player that's going to give sneaker sales a boost.

First of all, he is very handsome and attractive, and this charm kills both men and women.

Second, he's a guard, and he's a good ball-handler, and when he changes direction, everyone sees close-ups of his boots.

Furthermore, he is Chinese, the Chinese market is huge, and the Asian market is becoming the fastest growing place for sneakers in the world.They won Yao Ming, and they were worried about the lack of a defender, so Su Xi came to the door.

In the end, Su Xi's conversation just now showed that he is a humble, confident, unwilling to be seconded, aggressive and hard-working person.

In his conversation with TJ Ford, he completely took the initiative, he was strong, confident, humble, tolerant, and very charismatic.

Talking to James, he showed independent thinking ability and independent personality. After proving that he was not willing to be reconciled to others, he was unwilling to match James. He went to try out with him to become a bound supporting role, even though James was the chosen one.

Talk to Iverson, he's interested in the Reebok training camp, and he's working hard, he's always thinking about training, training.This is in stark contrast to Iverson.

Therefore, Reebok does not want to miss such a high-quality potential stock.

"Jack, hello. I'm Mike Blunt, Reebok's global marketing director and vice president. I have an endorsement and I want to talk to you." Mike Blunt got straight to the point.

However, Su Xi refused.He said: "Hi Mike, nice to meet you. But this matter, I want you to talk to my agent. I have to focus on the game now. Moreover, I am still an NCAA player, and it is not convenient to have such a business meeting."

This rejection surprised Iverson, James, and Anthony.

They all know that Mike Blunt is very high level, he can decide a lot of things.

Moreover, he took the initiative to speak, explaining that the price can be discussed. How many NCAA players can get sneaker endorsement contracts?Getting a sneaker endorsement contract means not only a star player in the NCAA, but also a star player worth looking forward to in the NBA.In the future, it will be of great help in advertising sales.

However, Su Xi directly refused.

However, instead of getting angry, Mike Blunt showed a bigger smile.He reached out and shook Su Xi.He admired in his heart: Jack is really a man who understands the rules, we should cooperate with people who understand the rules.Moreover, he only has basketball in his heart, and I like players who have nothing else to do.

His inner evaluation of Su Xi has reached a higher level.

However, he still made a little joke. He asked Su Xi: "Don't you want to know how big a contract I have prepared for you?"

Su Xi smiled, and he said something that shocked everyone: "I'm not interested in money."

"I just love playing basketball."

"Everything comes with a price. And I think when I play basketball well enough, it's up to me to say how much."

"Really? Mike."

Suzy asked Mike Blunt back.

Blunt is a seasoned negotiator who has met with many top sports stars.But he has never seen such a strong aura from Su Xi in any rookie, even the elites in the business field do not have this kind of temperament.

Su Xi's rhetorical question even made his language stuck.

"Um...yes. Of course, Jack. You are right. You have greatly increased my interest in you. Is it convenient to leave your agent's contact information?" Blunt said.

"Okay. I'll give you my agent's phone number when we meet next time." Su Xi smiled.

Mike Blunt laughed too.

The three people next to him stared blankly.

They opened their eyes.

Why did Mike Blunt respect him more and more for Jack doing this.

Everyone is strong.

Mike Blunt already has Suzy at the top of this year's rookie class, with the other two at the top: Anthony and James.

As for why Su Xi is so aura.

Four words.

If you don't want to be strong!

A person who is assisted by a basketball elf and regards himself as a quasi-basketball god in his heart, why should he be humbled by one or two good words from you?
There is no need for that.
