After the confession failed, I went to the NBA to play and lose weight

Chapter 38 Father and Son

There are still two days before the regular season begins, and Li's father also returned to the United States at this time.

Li Chengming has been training in the arena during the day these days, and eats and drinks at McGilton's house at night when he comes back.

Of course, he is not without repayment. His father taught him to repay kindness since he was a child, and the McGilton couple had nothing to ask him, so the repayment fell on their children.

The team that Jon supports the most is the Magic, and his favorite star is of course Li Chengming... No wonder, Li Chengming directly asked everyone in the team for an autograph to give him, including his favorite Turks.

It may be that Turkoglu is more like Turkoglu on the court, so he is regarded as an idol-anyway, Jon himself said so, although Li Chengming really can't see the resemblance.

In addition, when practicing at home, as long as Jon has time, Li Chengming will also teach him some things. After all, he is also an NBA-level player now. Personal previous experience, as well as what he learned in team training, let me reveal a little bit to you. Jon, it is enough for him to benefit endlessly.

The 16-year-old Jon is only 1.8 meters tall this year. He is destined to be unable to play inside. Moreover, his physical fitness is relatively average. Even in the school team, he can only be used as a substitute. Of course, it is impossible to become a professional player.

But if it is just to develop a hobby, you can still play a dozen in the field with better skills.

Jon himself also recognized the reality early on. He only regards playing basketball as a hobby. Maybe he will inherit the family business in the future. After all, he is also quite talented in photography, although the photos he took for Li Chengming...

Keke, something is wrong.

He called these "private room photos". Those girls were all hot, and it seemed that Jon was quite popular in school, and she also looked like a playboy, because he often looked confused in front of Li Chengming. Like my younger brother, I was almost confused by him.

This also made Li Chengming occasionally think about asking someone to study the structure of the human body and the differences between men and women, but after all, he is an innocent boy who has never been in love. He has read movies and novels and fantasized about them, but he has never In practice, it is difficult for him to take the first step directly.

What's more, even if he was hurt once, he didn't change his idea of ​​wanting to find a girl he likes together before thinking about these things.

Of course, it's also because there are more important things now. Before the ball is played well, what girl do you want?

Which ball is more fun?

After his father came back, he was even more at ease. After all, his father was running around for him, even though the running around was worth it.

Although the family conditions were not bad in the past, I felt that my parents were very tired, and sometimes I felt a little forced to smile in front of him, but now my father seemed very happy, not only because he made money, but mainly because he saw that he was promising .

It is the biggest expectation of parents to hope that their children will become dragons...

Naturally, he can't live up to this expectation, so he can only work harder and harder to let Huaguo Sports go to the world (no)...

Of course, when Li's father came back, he was also worried about whether Li Chengming would have a bad life by himself. There will be no problems if you go to the slums, but parents' worries are sometimes so unreasonable.

And seeing Li Chengming still laughing heartlessly, he was naturally relieved.

Then he summed up his achievements in China with Li Chengming, "Three contracts have been negotiated, potato chips, Coke, and an endorsement for finger cakes..."

"Wait, pancakes?"

Of course, Li Chengming has eaten this stuff, but he didn't expect to find a commercial endorsement for it?
Father Li smiled and said, "This is a company in Shanghai. They are doing promotion now, and they just caught up with you. Well, you look very convincing."

There were three black lines on Li Chengming's forehead. What does it mean to look convincing, but in an instant, the scene of himself appearing in front of the TV screen, eating hand-cooked pancakes, and adding a slogan "Eat I still wanted to eat, and then pulled the corner of my mouth.

It seems to be really convincing...

"Will this be a bit of a downgrade?"

As soon as Li Chengming finished speaking, his father slapped his head, "You are just a bad player with a ghostly style?"

"Hey, Dad, don't speak foul language."

"I just said what happened?"

"..."

Yes, your boss, you can do whatever you want.

Of course, Father Li said that was what he said, so he explained it to his son, "I've thought about it carefully, and I've also studied your current online reputation. Do you know how many grassroots people regard you as an idol?"

"what?"

This year is the time when "grassroots culture" is prevalent, especially with the development of the Internet, a large number of grassroots Internet celebrities have been born.

And Li Chengming, an "ordinary person" who goes to the NBA for trial training at his own expense, isn't he just like those grassroots who build their dreams in big cities?

Father Li said again: "So I didn't intend to praise you in a high direction. Those are media matters. We should be more close to the people, and don't forget where we came from."

Li Chengming knew that the second half of the sentence was the key point.

His father was still the same, no matter when he taught him to be a man beforehand, he could only nod his head, even if he didn't remember it once, Lao Dou kept thinking that he would remember it sooner or later.

At this time, Li Chengming suddenly thought of another question, "Is it necessary to shoot an advertisement?"

"Delicious needs, the other two are portrait authorization..."

The endorsement price is also different. Coke’s endorsement fee has reached 150 million knives a year. Although it is aimed at the Asian region, it must be mainly in the domestic region. After all, Li Chengming is not as popular as Dayao. In Japan and South Korea Other places have not received so much attention.

Of course, he went to shoot a Coke commercial with his body type, and Li Chengming always felt that this was Coke's self-deprecating.

If you want to drink, just drink happy water and be a fat boy with me?

The good thing is that Coke itself is a company in the United States, so it's fine to shoot the advertisement here and send it over. There is no need for Li Chengming or running around there.

"In addition, I recruited someone this time to help us focus on the domestic side first. In addition to the commercial endorsement contract, you now have some social platform operations to him."

"Social platforms?"

"Do you have QQ? It's similar to this, but I don't know what kind of blogs and microblogs they run. But I heard that many stars and celebrities in China now use this to interact directly with fans and fans. You If you want, I will give you the account later, and you can log in occasionally by yourself.

"In addition, there is no one in China who can speak for us, so we still need to establish a good relationship with the media. The relationship with CCTV and Jiulang has to be maintained. He needs to deal with all these. There are many things to do. Woolen cloth."

He was afraid that Li Chengming would not understand and thought he was hiring someone randomly.

What should be explained should be made clear. Although Li Chengming basically believes in him unconditionally, what Li's father hopes is that Li Chengming can have more thinking ability, instead of being led by others, even if it is himself. this father.

Li Chengming nodded silently. In fact, he didn't understand very well, but he was very smart, and he also guessed some of his father's thoughts, and he would learn to understand what he should know.

At this time, Father Li couldn't help laughing again: "Next, it depends on your performance in the regular season. The better you perform, the better our work will be. Of course, don't have any pressure, just play to your own level. .

"Dad originally only hoped that you could live a healthy and happy life. Now you can not only support yourself, but also support your parents, which is beyond my expectation. Son, Dad is proud of you!"

Li Chengming was a little embarrassed by his father's words, scratched his head and laughed naively.

Hearing his father calling him to go to training again, he quickly responded with high morale.

Seeing his son like this, Father Li shook his head and laughed.

The father and son practiced for a while. Li's father was busy with work and neglected to exercise, but he followed Li Chengming during the summer vacation, and now he seems to have practiced something.

Of course, it is still powerless for him to be a training partner for Li Chengming. He can only defend it symbolically, or pick up the ball, and then help Li Chengming to record the time and the number of shots.

Li Chengming would not do this when he was training in the team, but in private, Li Chengming is now practicing shooting in pursuit of shooting the ball as quickly as possible in the shortest time. On this basis, it is a problem to ensure the hit rate.

Without the assistance of a shooting accelerator, Li Chengming would not dare to practice like this, as it might disrupt his shooting rhythm.

"... 99, 100—Okay, come back at another location!"

The sound of popping balls and shouts intertwined one after another under the sunset at dusk, as if in a courtyard inlaid with gold. With the sweat falling to the ground, the sun gradually sank and night came.
