knife point guard

Chapter 72 [LeBron's Small Book]

As time slipped by, Suzy has been training at St. Joseph High School in Cleveland.

LeBron James is often absent, he has to attend events everywhere, he has begun to sign endorsements, and his commercial value is exploding.

In fact, Su Xi also has endorsement invitations from China.Huang Xiaoman seems to have a lot of resources in the country. She actually helped Su Xi get a mobile telecommunications contract from a state-owned enterprise, but the details of the terms are still under discussion, so it has not been formally signed.

Su Xi is not in a hurry.

It's all meat in a bowl.

Su Xi is very aware of his irreplaceability in the domestic basketball market. Before there is another Chinese guard who can play in the NBA, he is one of the commercial unicorns in the basketball field, and the other is Yao Ming.

The Cavaliers' owner and head coach came to the arena on the third weekend in April, when their regular season ended and they managed to tie for last.And the Denver Nuggets have a 22.5% chance of getting the No. [-] pick.

Although they came in the name of visiting the arena.But it can be seen that they are here to inspect James.A group of them sat in the terraced stands and watched silently all afternoon.

Going back, owner Gordon Gund asked head coach John Lucas. "What do you think of Jack Sue?"

"There is nothing commendable. His advantages will become less obvious in the NBA. Most of the NCAA's MOPs are mediocre in the NBA." John Lucas replied.

Gordon Gund then asked: "But he got a quadruple-double in the Finals."

"It doesn't make sense." John Lucas is very sure: "If we need a point guard, I recommend TJ Ford. But with our current record, we are rushing to the No. [-] pick, and there is no need to consider anyone except LeBron. people."

"With your words, I am relieved."

Gordon Gund nodded, then he turned around and asked his assistant: "What chips do you need to pay for the top ten picks in the first round?"

Ok?
John Lucas didn't understand: Is this to choose Su Xi the lamb?I made it clear that I don't like it.

"This year's lottery picks are held tightly by everyone. It may take two first rounds in previous years to get them, and some teams have to open their mouths to eat their rubbish contracts." The assistant answered honestly. road.

"Then wait for the results of the draw to appear before making contact." Gordon Gund said.

The business car was very silent, and John Lucas, who was sitting on the small bench in the third row, wondered: What does this mean?The boss is a bit capricious, doesn't he listen to what the head coach says?
In fact, it's not that you don't listen, but that you listen in reverse.

Why did the Cavaliers choose John Lucas as their coach? Isn't it just because of his "worthless" coaching talent?
Otherwise, with the Cavaliers' lineup this season, it's impossible to go straight to No. 1 from the bottom.

A lot of teams are doing badly this year.

However, if you put it badly, you must also put it on a level.

For example, the Denver Nuggets are too rough, and you can tell at a glance that they are going for the No. [-] pick.

The Cavaliers are so smart, they invited a head coach with "unpaid ambitions", he led the team to play hard, he worked hard, and the players also worked hard, but what can they do if they can't win?

So, based on judgment on coach John Lucas.Gordon Gund is pretty sure the team can draft Suzy.

After all, this is also the appointed helper of the 'King'.

"Oh, by the way, John. Your last job is done. We won't be negotiating your contract renewal. You can start looking for a new job now, without waiting until July 7st when the contract officially expires. "

Gordon Gund turned his head and said to John Lucas: "Thank you for your hard work during this time. I and the whole of Cleveland thank you from the bottom of my heart for your efforts."

...

On the fifth day of May, LeBron James returned from Portland.

His big Hummer roared outside the arena.

He brings brand new Nikes to everyone in the gym.

Previously, he was wearing Adidas equipment.He is very happy that with the help of Goodwin, he has achieved a major breakthrough with Nike.

In other words, Nike's sincerity moved him and his mother.

He told Su Xi: "I will soon become No.1 in history. Beyond Kobe, beyond Hardaway, beyond McGrady, beyond all active superstars."

Suzy congratulates him.

After a while, James took out a small notebook and said, "Jack, when I went out this time, I helped you pay attention to the movement outside. I know you are a rat in the arena, and you don't have time to worry about what's going on outside. You are very important."

"This is the person who speaks ill of you outside."

Su Xi took the small book, and the first page read: "On April 2003, 4, TJ Ford was interviewed by Sports Illustrated, saying that Su Xi the sheep had a high NCAA achievement, but I was worried that he would not be successful in the NBA... "

Suzy closed the little book, and he asked LeBron, "What are these?"

"Now a lot of players are declaring their participation in the draft. There are a lot of point guards this year. There are a lot of people who want to step on your head to win attention. This is what I asked Frankie Walker to help you sort out." LeBron James said: "He is a Well-informed, he checks every basketball report every day, one of the Six Musketeers, we grew up together. Now my press officer."

Frank Walker?
Suzy knew him and met him several times.He was LeBron's playmate growing up, and LeBron lived in his house for a while when he was a child, because his mother was busy making ends meet and Frank's father was a basketball coach.Now that James is developed, he will bring Frank with him and do some work within his ability.

"Thank you Frank for helping me," Su Xi said.

"I think you should go out for a walk. Are you really not going to the joint training camp in Orlando?" LeBron James asked Su Xi.

"No, I made an agreement with Tim, and after the training here, I will go to Chicago to continue training." Su Xi said.

"But when you participate in the draft, you always have to show something to the team?" James said: "You only have to go to the joint training camp and perform well, and then the team will send you a trial invitation alone."

Su Xi didn't plan to try out.

He got a draft commitment from Larry Bird, and he was sure he would be selected by the Pacers, a strong team in the East.Why go to other teams to try out?
"Sometimes I really can't understand your thoughts." James said: "But I admire you very much. Among the young people now, there are really not many players like the two of us who have completely settled down to polish their skills and bodies."

Tim Grover's eyelids twitched next to him.

Although he had some doubts about James' words, this did not prevent him from giving Su Xi the highest evaluation.He said to all the assistants in the locker room more than once: "Just wait and see, Jack will definitely be famous in the NBA in the future. His speed of improvement is beyond the imagination of those twittering rookies outside. I don't believe in NCAA. MOP can't be a superstar in the NBA. Jack will go through history and become Olajuwon, Magic, Wilt Chamberlain."

Grover has a very high opinion of Su Xi.

And these evaluations, as well as Su Xi's hard-working attitude in the training camp, how he behaves in the world, and his personality... all appear on the desks of Nike executives and Adidas executives in a hurry.

Of course, the most important thing is data.Su Xi's daily data is extremely important.

Sponsors can't spend tens of millions of dollars without knowing a player.

Their investigation must be meticulous, comprehensive and scientific.

NBA teams may choose parallel imports, but sponsors will never.

[In the last chapter, many friends said that the plot was too slow, so they changed the outline overnight to speed it up.But some excesses are necessary.The trial training session has been cut off.Sponsor links are also greatly reduced.Quickly into the mainline. 】
