NBA villain

Chapter 27: Scouting
Yang Di's life became more regular again. One week before the Spring Festival, his overall basketball score reached 45, and his NBA rating was D-. He was called "an inside rebounder with unlimited potential" by the system.

There are many Chinese in Chicago. As the Spring Festival approaches, Chinatown has also become lively.

"Can't this really be washed off?" Yang Di stripped off his upper body, showing his shirtless shoulders, with a ferocious green dragon wrapped around his shoulders, with a distressed expression on his face.

"Why wash it off? It's literally destroying a precious work of art."

The old man with cloudy eyes, wearing a pair of presbyopic glasses, gently stroked Yang Di's thick shoulder, and Yang Di's goosebumps immediately fell all over the floor.

"At the beginning, I came up with this trick because of saving people. Now that people are saved, of course I want to return to the original state."

"There is nothing in this world that can come and go when you call it. If you don't want your body to be a mess, I advise you to give up the idea of ​​​​washing off tattoos early. Anyway, everything in this world has two sides. There may be benefits to not seeing the side."

"It's almost Chinese New Year, don't you go home?" The old man put down his reading glasses.

"I won't go back." Yang Di sighed, "Actually, I have time, but if my parents see this tattoo on my body, they won't beat me to death."

And the travel fare back is also very expensive.Yang Di silently added a sentence in his heart.

"That's a pity. During the Spring Festival, we should be reuniting with our family." The old man said cheerfully.

"Master Cai hasn't been back for a long time?"

"It's been more than 30 years. I came to Chicago before the establishment of diplomatic relations. I didn't expect so many years to pass in a flash."

"Haven't you been back for so many years?" Yang Di put on his clothes again, covering up the green dragon tattoo.

"Yep."

Feeling melancholy, Yang Di stood up and prepared to say goodbye, "Then I'll go first, Mr. Cai. If I go back to China later, I'll bring you our special products."

"That would be the best."

Yang Di left Chinatown and walked alone on the street. The winter wind was a bit cold and there were few pedestrians.A stranger in a lonely country, I feel lonely when I am alone.

His cell phone rang.

"Hey."

"Hey, Dick Young, where are you?" Finney's voice always sounded a little strange after the electronic processing.

"Just out of Chinatown, walking on the road."

"Tell you good news."

"what?"

"Shouldn't you look excited?"

"I'm already very excited, OK?" Yang Di rolled his eyes helplessly.

"Okay, my brother, do you know that you have been spotted by an NBA scout!" Finney spoke a little faster, "Today, a scout from an NBA team took the initiative to come to me. "

"Active, you know? Knicks, New York, big city, you have to send it! My brother."

The voice on the other end of the phone was full of excitement, and Yang Di subconsciously moved the phone away from his ears, a Knicks scout?Big city concern?Can't tell what kind of feeling he is feeling at the moment, indifferently?Or was it a little ecstasy after suddenly knowing it?In short, the imagined ecstasy did not come, and Finney was more excited than he was.

"I don't care where you are now, you have to come back right away, you know!"

"Okay, I know."

On the sparsely populated streets of Chicago, a tall young man wrapped himself in a coat and quickened his pace.

From the point of view of sketching, the guy with a wine tank and a nose in front of him is really like a dwarf elder in a fantasy movie, with a rough face.

He swept away the delicacies on the plate on the table like a wind and cloud, then took a sip of the beer in the glass, and burped comfortably, only one last cigarette was perfect.

Finny cleverly handed over a cigarette, lit it on fire, and the smoke was lingering.

"I'm not bragging. There are not [-], but [-] basketball seedlings I'm looking at all over the world."

"Is it the other way around?" Yang Di was speechless.

"I know, you are a young player, your body is very strong, although your skills are as rough as elementary school students. Of course, none of this is the point. You know, the NBA is a melting pot. You need my packaging. Under the charm of publicity, becoming a star of tomorrow is just around the corner.”

"Listen, listen!" Finny poked Yang Di, his eyes beckoning, and he was even more excited.

Yang Di became more suspicious, "Packaging?" To be honest, he never believed that packaging could enable a person to survive in the cruel competitive league.If the packaging is useful, it can only make some players become parallel imports.

"Ahem, but you also need to know that there are so many talented players entering the league at the same time. Every day, the so-called talented basketball players from all over the world come to the club to try their luck and hope to become players of the club, even if it is only for ten days. Temporary worker." Jiutrough Nose talked eloquently, saliva spraying Yang Di all over the face.

"So?" Yang Di interjected.

"So, you need my recommendation." Jiu Chuan Nai raised his chest and said proudly.

"Thank you so much." Finny said with a smile, almost bowing.

"Thank you for what I'm doing, this is my job." Jiu Chuan Nai said hypocritically, with a half-hearted smile. "But what?"

He paused, and continued: "Our New York Knicks are a giant in the NBA. The threshold for entry is higher than that of ordinary NBA teams. Just like the Bulls in Chicago, you need to pay a higher referral fee."

"Introduction fee? What introduction fee?" Yang Di grasped the word keenly and pricked up his ears vigilantly.

"Don't you know?" Jiuqu Nai pretended to be surprised, and then showed dissatisfaction on his face, "Finny, this is your fault, why don't you make it clear to our Dick Yang."

Then, without waiting for Finney to open his mouth, he took the initiative to explain: "The introduction fee is the fee paid by players outside the league to scouts. We introduce you to the NBA, which is not compulsory labor. You have to pay a certain fee. This is what the NBA has always done. The rules are known anyway.”

"Yes, yes, indeed." Finney laughed.

"How much?"

"Three thousand dollars."

"Three thousand dollars?!" Yang Di almost jumped up, his eyes widened, and he subconsciously covered his chest, "Why is it so expensive, why are you robbing it?"

"What are you talking about? Sanqian is already discounted for Finney's face, and you can't lose a penny." Jiu groove nose was very dissatisfied with Yang Di's reaction.

"I refuse." Yang Di gritted his teeth and said three words.

"What?!" Finny and Roquette were taken aback at the same time, as if seeing an alien, stunned.

Immediately, the scruffy man with the rosacea exploded like a gunpowder keg, and his voice became sharp: "Do you know what you are talking about? Young man, you are rejecting an invitation from an NBA giant. You think you are Who? Do you think you are Tracy McGrady or Chris Webber? You are just a wild player who has never played regular basketball. For a player like you, it is a gift from God to go to the NBA. , damn hillbillies, bugs in the dirt, there's no way you're going to make it to the NBA!"

Finney was also surprised by Yang Di's astonishing move at first, but when he heard Jiu Yong Nai say that about Yang Di, he immediately became angry, "Hey, Jiu Chong Nai, how can you say that about my brother, keep your mouth clean."

Yang Di suddenly stood up, leaned over like a mountain and looked at the wine trough nose, his stern eyes shone with a biting cold light, like a ferocious beast, it pressed down like a mountain to the sea.The rosacea stagnated, and his fine hair stood on end in an instant, and he smelled a bloody smell.

"It's just a sheep, so why pretend to be a badger wolf." Yang Di snorted disdainfully, and walked out without looking back.

Finny immediately followed Yang Di and walked out, turning around and giving Jiuqubi a middle finger.

"Bastard, you will definitely regret it, you arrogant guy, you have no one in your eyes!" Jiu groove nose woke up from the limp state, and shouted loudly behind Yang Di, becoming angry from embarrassment.
