Chapter 1 The ambition of losing the draft

Outside a convenience store outside Madison Square Garden in New York, June 1995, 6.

Gao Shen stood there, watching the TV seriously, not paying attention to the fiery eyes of the saleswoman.

So handsome, I'm used to this look.

On the TV, the talent show is being broadcast.

“…Golden State Warriors select Joe Johnson…”

NBA commissioner David Stern opened the envelope and read the results, as he remembered.

Antonio McDyess, Jerry Stackhouse... until the Detroit Pistons selected Don Reed at the end of the second round, and the draft came to an end.

Gao Shen was very upset.

He signed up for the draft early, but he was from China, a high school student who had just finished, and was unable to participate in the joint trial and the individual trials of each team...

The above is not the reason for losing, the only reason is that the managers of the teams are blind.

"Ignore Lao Tzu today, and beat you one by one in the future!"

With a complaint, he took out the map that was brought out from the airport, studied it carefully for a while, and went straight to the subway station.

He took ten dollars out of his shoes, bought a ticket and boarded the subway, found an empty seat and took a nap with his backpack in his arms.

After the long flight, I rushed to Madison Square without any time to rest. I was really exhausted.

Dimly, Gao Shen felt that someone was touching his backpack.

"Hey, buddy, don't touch my passport, okay?" Gao Shen didn't open his eyes and just muttered.

The money is under the insole of the shoe, and the only thing left in the bag is loneliness.

After a few trips and wandering for two hours, I finally arrived in Westchester, the New York Knicks training facility [-] kilometers away from Madison Square Garden.

Looking at the empty training hall, Gao Shen's eyes flashed with excitement.

As long as you can participate in the trial training, you must stay!
Big contract, young model in the clubhouse...

Wiping the corners of his mouth, Gao Shen walked over.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he was stopped by two security guards, one black and one white. The black security guard shouted: "Hey, this place is not open to the public!"

Gao Shen replied: "Hello, I'm here to make an appointment for this summer's trial training. I want to be a member of the Knicks and help the team win the championship."

The two security guards looked at each other and laughed in unison.

Enough laughing, Bai Baoan said: "Fake squid, a yellow-skinned monkey actually wants to join the team and help the team win the championship?"

"Oh, God, the yellow-skinned monkey can actually play basketball, haha..." The black security guard kept laughing.

Gao Shen clenched his fists tightly, wishing to let these two bastards know why the flowers are so popular.

However, restraint is necessary.

Once you do it, you will most likely be locked up in the police station, and then wait for the embassy to help you return home.

In order to complete the system's task of dominating the basketball world, in order to earn a lot of money, endure!
Take a deep breath, turn around and leave.

Remember this account forever!

After getting on the subway, it took another two hours to arrive at 115th Street.

These days, people in China think that New York is a paradise, but the streets of the civilian areas are full of garbage, most of the street lights have been smashed, and the unemployed who have nothing to do are wandering around.

Gao Shen has no doubt that if it weren't for the big word "poor" written on his forehead, maybe someone would pull out a gun to block the way.

Fortunately, I arrived at the famous Rock Park smoothly.

In the stadium, a 3V3 confrontation was in full swing. Hundreds of people on the sidelines kept shouting, and dozens of guys who looked like basketball players were also shouting.

Gao Shen showed a wicked and wild smile, sat on the ground and took off his shoes, took out two Franklin cards from under the insoles, flicked them...

The fare cost a fraction of his entire net worth, and the twenty dollars was one-fifth of his net worth.

A series of operations full of sour taste did not attract the attention of others, who would care about a yellow-skinned boy.

Gao Shen didn't care, holding the money, squeezed into the crowd to watch the game.

ba ba ba ~
One step inside the three-point line, a short black man swayed left and right while patting the basketball, constantly making fake moves, while the tall white man opposite him did not waver.

"Hey, man!" A teammate raised his hand in the corner asking for the ball.

Hearing the cry, the ball handler turned his head to look, but the basketball passed through the white man's crotch and went directly to the hands of his teammates under the basket.

bang~
A crotchless pass and a dunk made the audience climax.

"Who else!" After showing off, the satisfied black point guard raised his hands in the air and shouted triumphantly.

Gao Shen walked into the field holding the banknotes and shouted: "Hey, buddy, is there a bullfight? Twenty dollars a game!"

"Oh, the money giver is here!" The black point guard shouted exaggeratedly: "Guys, someone gave money, what do you think should I do?"

"Blow him up, blow him up!"

The melon-eating crowd cheered in unison, as if it was a matter of course.

The big black man who had just completed the dunk looked down at Gao Shen and said, "Listen, yellow-skinned monkey, since you are willing to give money, then come on."

Made, in order to earn travel expenses, endure!

Gao Shen shook the banknote and said: "OK, bullfighting, twenty dollars a game, take out your bet."

"Fox, do you have money?" the big black man asked point guard Fox.

"Money? If you win, don't you have money?" Fox replied as a matter of course.

"Poor ghost, if you don't have a bet, please leave and let someone who can afford it!" Gao Shen retorted.

"Listen, Fox." The center forward of the white trio who had just lost the battle came over and said, "I know you guys can't make a bet, it's okay, let me come, I'll buy you a Coke later."

"Shet, Ron, teach this yellow-skinned monkey a lesson!" Fox cursed and made room.

"Boy, five balls, you come first!" As he said, the white center Ron put two banknotes into Gao Shen's hands.

"OK!" Putting the money into his pocket, Gao Shen walked outside the three-point line.

This white center is a little taller than Gao Shen, about two meters tall, and very strong.

"Ron, show him some color!"

"Break him!"

"Let him taste the power of a Hercules!"

Amidst the constant noise from the audience, Ron watched from a step away after serving the ball, and did not come over to defend himself.

Gao Shen patted the basketball and asked, "Hey, I want to shoot a three-pointer?!"

"You can vote if you have the ability."

In this case……

Wei Wei made a jump shot, the basketball flew out, crossed an arc, slammed on the backboard, and bounced into the basket.

Gao Shen landed and spread his hands: "1:0, so easy."

"Fack squid, damn thief." After catching the basketball thrown from the sidelines, Ron slammed it hard.

Gao Shen caught it with one hand, grabbed the basketball and said, "I suggest you surrender directly, which can save time."

"Fake Squid!" Ron came over directly, raising his hands to cover Gao Shen.

Looking powerful, but actually full of flaws, Gao Shen casually patted the basketball and asked, "Are you ready?"

Ron didn't say anything, just pressed close to him and squeezed constantly.

This defense can be solved with a breakthrough, but Gaoshen was so hungry that he didn't want to waste his energy, so he took a step back.

Ron didn't respond, and had already shot a jumper.

Bang, hit the board.

"Oh~" there was an exclamation from the sidelines.

"Damn it, do you only shoot three-pointers?" Ron was annoyed.

Gao Shen spread his hands and asked back: "Doesn't it count as three points?"

"Ron, guard against his three-pointer!" Fox shouted.

"I know!" Ron picked up the ball and smashed it hard.

Gao Shen caught it, patted the ball, and Xie Mei laughed wildly.

Ron stepped forward and pressed close, and said, "Boy, you don't have such good luck..."

Another step-back jumper.

"Damn, this guy's three-pointer is too accurate." There was another exclaim from the sidelines.

"You talk too much!" Gao Shen spread his hands.

too easy!

To be honest, Gao Shen wouldn't be bothered to bully these people who can't even compete in professional games if he didn't want to earn some travel expenses.

Ron was powerless to refute, he could only press close to him without any speed, and easily solved it with two retreat steps.

The audience on the sidelines were all stunned, and there was no sound.

"Boy, compete with me!" Fox said viciously.

"OK, twenty dollars a game!" Gao Shen spread his hands.

"Fack, if you don't shoot threes, deal!" Fox agreed.

"Oh, the NBA has canceled the three-point shot? Of course..." Gao Shen pretended to be surprised, paused for a moment and said: "Forty dollars a game, three-point shooting is prohibited."

"Ron, take out your damn pocket money, and I'll avenge you!" Fox yelled viciously.

Very good, forty dollars went into the pocket, and Gao Shen generously gave up the ball.

Baba Baba, Fox kept dribbling the ball under his crotch.

The speed is very fast, and ordinary people are really easy to be confused.

"Fox, blow him up~"

"Blow him up~"

The audience was excited.

Gao Shen smiled evilly, and looked at it with folded hands in the paint area, just about to make a please gesture.

Fox took a deep breath to suppress his anger, accelerated to Gao Shen, and then turned a top to the side.

"Passing him is as easy as a stake!" Fox smirked in his heart, and without slowing down to the basket, he jumped directly, intending to make a cool pull.

"Be careful~"

"Oh~"

"Damn~"

Hearing the audience's exclamations, Fox quickly turned back and suddenly realized that it was dark.

His hand sank, and the basketball was grabbed by a giant yellow palm.

Grab the hat!

thump thump thump~ Fox couldn't help taking a few steps back, fell to the ground, and looked at Gao Shen in horror.

"Look, you fell down before I exerted my strength." Gao Shen spread his hands again.

"Oh, hell!"

"He can jump really high!"

"He's fast too!"

"He is so good, isn't he a professional player?"

The audience recovered from their surprise and couldn't help but talk.

Looking at Fox again, he was walking out with his head down.

Gao Shen waved his hand and said: "Hey, buddy, welcome to come back tomorrow, or find someone more powerful!"

Without looking back, Fox picked up his speed.

Regardless of whether he comes tomorrow or not, Gao Shen intends to stay here for a few days.

The so-called I don't go to the mountain, let the mountain come to me... Well, in fact, there is no travel expenses, it is impossible to go to the trial training one by one, I can only get some reputation first.

If a reporter comes and dunks directly from the three-point line, the contract is not a matter of minutes.

Gao Shen looked around and called out, "Who else will compete with me?"

On the sidelines, dozens of basketball players looked at each other.

"It's getting dark, I should go back to do my homework."

"Mom called me home for dinner."

"I have to go back and change the baby's diaper..."

Everyone has something to do, and they all went home to find their mother in an instant.

Without the excitement, the people who eat melons have also done a bird and beast scatter.

More than a dozen black, white and brown girls swarmed to the front.

"Hey, beauties, please keep your distance." Gao Shen raised his hands and stepped back again and again.

The girls with indescribable looks are not reserved, and each put the note into Gaoshen's hand.

Fortunately, it was widely publicized, and no one pushed it madly.

Watching the girls leave, Gao Shen breathed a sigh of relief, threw the note away, and planned to leave.

The last remaining middle-aged white man hurriedly walked up to him and said, "Hi, hello, I'm Bill Duffy, an agent of BDA Brokerage Company, can we talk?"

Bill Duffy, Dayao's American agent, is said to have a good reputation?

Thinking that I really need a tool... Cough, manager, Gao Shen agreed.

Bill Duffy has been in the industry for a few years, but he doesn't have many players, otherwise he would still be hanging out in Rock Park during the draft.

Gaoshen first arrived in the United States and was not familiar with the place of life, so he needed a guide... Oh, sorry, it's a wallet... Cough, a guide.

Everyone has what they need, hit it off, and talk about everything.
