stadium ambition

Chapter 67
Looking at the names on the list, Su Yang felt a little dreamy.

Nike invited a total of 24 players to this competition, divided into east and west teams. In addition to superstars such as Rose, Harden and Griffin, there are also NCAA ace players such as Kyle Singler and Jonny Flynn.

Even the worst is Chris White, a special short guard who can be spotted by the Mavericks.

In addition to regular games, there are also dunk contests, three-point contests, and skill contests. The form is a bit similar to the McDonald's High School All-Star Invitational, and other non-graduate players are invited to participate, but 24 players can also sign up for the roster.

The game is scheduled for the next weekend and will last for a total of two days. It will be held at Madison Square Garden, the home of the Knicks in New York. Nike will be responsible for providing round-trip business tickets and five-star hotel accommodation.

The most important thing is that TNT will be responsible for the national broadcast of the main game, and Nike will also invite LeBron and other signed players to the scene, as well as some retired celebrities, and even stars in the entertainment industry. They are determined to make the game a grand event.

"You can also go together. Nike provides round-trip air tickets for two people. Let's experience the charm of the world's largest city. If you have time, you can visit the Empire State Building or something. It's a tour."

Zheng Xiang shook his head and waved his hands: "What's so good about that? Do me a favor then. I'll ask LeBron James for his autograph in person, and tell him that he is the strongest NBA player in my heart, from ancient times to the present."

"Iron fans!" Su Yang gave a thumbs up, "But I think Jordan is stronger."

"Jordan is the strongest player I've ever heard," Zheng Xiang said with a serious face. "But LeBron is the best player I've ever seen. I think LeBron's era has a higher level of competition, and the start is more difficult and the pressure is greater."

"Okay, I'll ask for you when the time comes."

Confirmed to participate in the competition, Zheng Xiang ran to reply to Nike, while Su Yang entered the bedroom and turned on the computer, began to report to Coach David, and sent an email to the counselor to explain the situation, and may leave school early next Friday.

There is a letter from my father in the mailbox. The general content is that Su Yang has become famous, first of all, he praised him, and then warned him not to be arrogant, and then continue to work hard to win glory for the country like Yao Ming.

Su Yang replied affirmatively, and then logged on to his personal Twitter to browse the news, and found that ESPN named him the number one high school student in the United States, which caused a large-scale discussion.Statistics show that out of a total of more than 3 people who voted, less than 5% believed that he was qualified to be the No. 60 high school student in the United States, and nearly 18% believed that his strength should be around [-]th.

The reasons against him becoming No.1 are because he is not American, because he is Chinese, because he has no more game experience, there are speculations that he may take banned drugs, and there are speculations that he has changed his age.

But more is that he enjoys the team bonus too much, because the whole team of Muqiao High School plays for him.

As for the indistinguishable play between the bench and the starting team leading the Lakers, many people think that the video is only a few minutes long, which only shows that Su Yang has a relatively high basketball IQ, and the key starting team doesn't really want to defend.

This kind of comment is simply confusing black and white. Su Yang felt happy after reading it. This is the price of fame. Compared with LeBron who has won so many honors and was ridiculed and questioned about his lack of skills, it is too trivial for him to face such doubts.

After finishing all this, Su Yang regained his composure, picked up his mobile phone and asked if Lu Rulan had arrived home.

Lu Rulan replied in seconds: "Here, those two girls deliberately teased you today, and I will deal with them."

"No, I don't care, I can guess what they think. Speaking of which, I'm going to New York to play a game next weekend. I will stay for two days in total. I have time to go shopping. Do you have anything you want? I can help you. You bring it back."

"Let's think about it, bring some Yankees peripherals, my dad likes that baseball team very much. Also, be careful not to be too tired. You have played too many games recently, so you should pay attention to rest. I see NBA players only play a maximum of 4 games a week."

"Well, I'll pay attention. By the way, didn't you say yesterday that your parents are going to visit me at school?"

"They have watched. When you explained the strategy, they sat in the car not far away and observed secretly."

"Ouch, what do they think of me?"

"I'm not a fool, nor a big villain. I still have to observe. This is what my mother said. She thinks you are a little too generous."

"Okay, then I will work hard."

Su Yang put down his phone, feeling that all the troubles all afternoon were worth it, his relationship with Lu Rulan was only a step away, but he still had to wait for a formal confession, and he didn't even need to make a formal confession, just let everything fall into place.

...

After ESPN's nationwide live broadcast, Su Yang completely became a superstar of Mu Qiao High School, and even when he went to the bathroom, people asked for a group photo and autograph.Su Yang does not refuse anyone who comes, but he does not accept group photos when he hangs the horizontal bar at noon every day, mainly because he looks too stupid.

After a two-day break, Muqiao High School played at home against Sierra Canyon High School.

The opponent does not have too many star players, and the overall strength is relatively average.Su Yang played 5 minutes in the first quarter, 4 minutes in the second quarter, and missed 1 minute in the second half. Mu Qiao High School still won by 17 points.

There were at least dozens of scouts who came to watch the game, and they all came to pass business cards after the game.Su Yang took them all over and found that there were actually scouts from Harvard. He felt a little complacent and wondered if they still thought I had good grades?

Back at the residence, Su Yang told Lu Rulan about this, saying that he might also have the opportunity to go to Harvard.

Lu Rulan was very happy and hoped that he would apply first and then make a decision based on the situation of the offer.

Su Yang agreed to come down, and logged on to Twitter and Facebook to browse the news as usual, and found that many people in the comments were saying that they were going to respond to OJ Mayo, so he clicked on the link out of curiosity, and saw a tweet by the famous reporter and commentator Sam .

[I just finished the interview with OJ Mayo. When talking about how to see Su Yang surpassing him to become the number one high school student in the United States, OJ Mayo replied to me: Su Yang is just a player promoted by the media for the sake of popularity, although he has certain strength , but it is far from reaching the level of No. [-] in the United States, and even the level praised by many celebrities. The main reason is that Mu Qiao High School mainly plays V-shaped tactics. Su Yang has benefited a lot from this, and also occupies a lot of playing time and possession. Ning Si's age is relatively small, and his confrontation is a bit weak. If there is a duel in the same grade and under fair conditions, Su Yang will be seen at his true level. This time is at the Nike Invitational. 】

[Mayo also mentioned that before the game against Oak Hill High School, Su Yang had always been a shooting guard, and that game was changed to a point guard, purely to allow Su Yang to get better data.In addition, OJ Mayo expressed that he doesn't mind if I make this interview public. He just publicly challenged Su Yang. It just so happens that the two of them will be in different teams at the Nike Invitational, and they can face each other head-on. 】

Su Yang looked very puzzled. Although Mayo has a big temper and is particularly self-centered, it doesn't sound like what Mayo said. It is probably Rodney's instigation to make Mayo attract more attention and discussion. After all, this Things do have room for maneuver.

Because the participating players will all be the aces of their respective teams and have been famous for a long time. Who would listen to Su Yang's command?Most of the games are played against each other, and at most there is some simple cooperation. Maybe they can't even catch the basketball, resulting in mediocre statistics.

　Thank you King of the Hill for your tip!
