Chapter 340: Classmate, add one
Chen Mo's communication with Hua Xiaoou was very pleasant, and in the exchange, he also knew that although Hua Xiaoou was a professional gambler, his life was still very legendary. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
His first profession was an actor, an actor from Wanwan, who was banned after acting in two good movies, and the reason for his ban was similar to that of Leung Ka-fai. It's just that after Leung Jiahui sold his art (bai) art (di) products (tan) for a period of time, the actor returned to his business.
And Hua Xiaoou came to Las Vegas after losing money in investment, and has never had a formal job. According to his own words, when he is short of money, he goes to the casino to withdraw some points, and there are his ATMs everywhere.
"My money is all in the casino, temporarily kept with them, and I can just get some when I want to spend it." Hua Xiaoou talked about his current financial resources, and he seemed very bland.
"Gambling is really a combination of mathematics and psychology, and there's no secret."
Chen Mo felt that he was very powerful, but Hua Xiaoou didn't think so.
"I'm not the best yet, I knew a guy more than 10 years ago and that's really good. At best, I was supporting myself, and the guy not only supported himself, but also his son. Hua Xiaoou said: "This person has no weakness in his heart, or he can keep his heart calm at all times." If I have a son thousands of miles away, to be honest, I can't meditate. ”
Chen Mo chatted with Hua Xiaoou for a while, then separated, and they made an appointment to go to other casinos tomorrow night.
It's only 11 o'clock now, Chen Mo wanted to go back to the room and sleep directly, but when he was full of energy, he still consciously got into it when he passed by the gym.
"A player like me who is self-conscious and disciplined deserves to succeed." Chen Mo thought narcissistically while consuming his excess energy on the treadmill.
Chen Mo was dreaming in his suite at the Venetian Hotel, and the basketball media, which was supposed to be focusing on the draft, suddenly became excited.
After the Finals, there are three other topics surrounding the NBA that are the focus of media and fan attention.
One is this year's draft, the second is the NBA shutdown, and the third is about Chen Mo's departure and the operation of the defending champion Charlotte Bobcats this summer.
Chen Mo and Bobcats, the biggest dark horses this season, have almost stolen all the attention of the NBA. At the same time, Stern's overseas plans did not go well, and Chen Mo's appearance gave him a glimmer of hope.
Stern made Chen Mo the core propaganda of his overseas plans, first, because he really needed Chen Mo to continue to open overseas markets, and secondly, to weaken the negative impact of some of the shutdown crisis.
Under the combination of various conditions, Chen Mo is naturally the focus of everyone's attention this summer. If there is news about Chen Mo, almost all of them will be reported by the greatest resources.
It's been almost a week since the finals ended, but there is still no news about Chen Mo's contract renewal or transfer, which makes some media a little anxious.
Just when the media were about to make up something to bluff the fans first, a big news came.
"Jack Chan is willing to take a pay cut for brotherhood" - Chicago Tribune
"Brothers, Not Dollars" - Los Angeles Times
"A Breath of Fresh Water in a Utilitarian Society" - Wall Street Journal
"Jack Chan thinks the first credit for winning the championship should belong to him!" -- New York Daily News
Nearly all of the influential media outlets in the U.S. are reporting on the news at the heart of content. But compared with these media that report from Chen Mo's perspective and from the perspective of brotherly feelings, some media angles are a bit dark.
ESPN listed a huge headline on its official website - "The former titan needs to hug his thighs to avoid retirement, and he may become an obstacle for Jack Chan to renew his contract with the Bobcats"
A group of media outlets, led by ESPN, reported the news from a different angle.
There was also an immediate abundance of topic discussions on social networking sites, as well as a column for voting options.
"Do you approve of Jack Chan helping his teammates like this?"
There were only two votes, one for and one against, and 70 percent of the votes were cast.
Chen Mo would never have thought that this matter would come so quickly and so violently. Deep in the top Las Vegas hotels, it's even more distant from the news. The people who come here are here to enjoy the luxurious life, they don't care about the media coverage, and when Chen Mo returned to his room from the gym, he didn't know that the incident had been overwhelmingly reported by the media.
Chen Mo just came back from a morning workout at the gym, ready to take a shower, and then asked Boss Qiao to talk about his contract renewal.
Anyway, he made up his mind to bind sales to Jackson, but as soon as Chen Mo entered the bathroom, Jackson's phone called.
"Jack Chen, what do you mean?"
"Stephen, what's wrong?"
"I treat you as a friend, as a brother, what do you treat me for? You treat me like a beggar? Think it's a parasite? Jack Chan, you don't have to be like this at all. I did what a player does, it's that simple, you don't have to feel guilty......"
Jackson's mouth is like a machine gun that has pressed the trigger, and he shows his talent as a talk show host to the fullest on the phone. There is no doubt that Chen Mo was sprayed stupid by him.
In the end, Jackson didn't give Chen Mo a chance to explain.
As a proud man, Jackson could never accept himself as a burden to others, nor did he like to accept handouts from friends.
"Don't eat the food that comes from you?" Chen Mo threw the phone on the bed, and at this moment he felt aggrieved and angry.
After taking a shower in a hurry, Chen Mo went directly to the next door and knocked on Jordan's door.
"Michael Jordan!" Chen Mo shouted when he entered the door: "You told the media the content of our conversation?" ”
Jordan was sitting on the sofa smoking a cigar in his nightgown, and Mr. Qiao slowly exhaled a puff of smoke rings and said, "Have you had breakfast?" Let's go down for breakfast? ”
Chen Mo frowned slightly, shook his head, and said, "Michael, you have exhausted the last bit of respect I have for you. When you introduced David as my agent, you were purposeful. Actually, you don't have to do that, and I didn't decide to leave Charlotte when you came to take me to practice every morning. But what you did, I was so disappointed. ”
"Jack, the league is an iron-clad battalion, and everyone will be eliminated, including the god of basketball." Jordan said lightly: "I will give you whatever you want." If you think the pay is low, we can talk about it, can't we? ”
"No talks, Michael." Chen Mo turned around and went out.
The last smile on Jordan's face disappeared as Chen Mo closed the door, he felt that he had given Chen Mo enough face and sincerity, but now Chen Mo was a little ignorant.
Chen Mo returned to the room and began to browse the news, he never thought that the conditions he told Jordan would appear so clearly in the news of major media.
When Chen Mo accidentally saw an inconspicuous piece of news, his anger was completely ignited.
This is a piece of news about the Chinese national men's basketball team, which is reprinted from China's domestic media.
Xu Yunmiao, deputy director in charge of the formation and training of the national team, was interviewed by reporters when asked about Chen Mo's joining the national team, and his face was regretful.
"We got in touch with Chen Mo, but his agent refused to join the national team, and the two sides are still negotiating, maybe he still has the possibility of joining the national team." Xu Yunmiao said.
After that, the news did not mention more detailed information.
"Damn it!" Chen Mo scolded secretly.
On the other hand, there have been several meetings on the issue of Chen Mo in China's rotten shoes.
Some people think that Chen Mo should be ticketed, and then deal with him like he did roughly.
But there were immediate objections, first of all, Chen Mo is not a registered athlete with bad shoes, and secondly, Chen Mo's relationship with China is very weak, and the general way to deal with it is obviously inappropriate. What's more, Chen Mo's wings are much harder now.
When the players are strong enough, dictatorships and autocracy, such as certain departments in China, can only bow their heads.
"Regarding Chen Mo, we can only adopt a gentle policy, maybe there will be a curve to save the country, but it may not be!"
"Why do we have to beg him? How old is he? "Naturally, there were such voices at the meeting.
But Chen Mo's dominance on the court made these officials reluctant to give him anything.
"As long as he is in one day, the strength of the national team is world-class one day. Regarding the removal of Chen Mo from the national team list, and those who take tough measures, you can shut up, I'll just find a way to dismiss the meeting! Xu Yunmiao really had a bit of a headache with Falke's tough refusal, but he didn't think things were hopeless.
Two days ago, he seemed to have heard a secret about Chen Mo from his old leader, and it seemed that Chen Mo was a guy with a strong background.
Chen Mo's grandfather had a nickname called "Chen Cannon" when he was young, and he had to blow about anything to be proud of.
Chen Mo was overwhelmingly reported by the media, and the old man couldn't see his grandson, but he was also proud of it. At the meeting in their circle, when chatting, the old man had to brag.
Although that circle is powerful, there is no impermeable wall in the world, although there are many circles in Sijiu City, but a young master who has not been in Sijiu City is still worth noting. Otherwise, if you inadvertently offend one day, the consequences will be unimaginable.
The news spread little by little, and in the end, even at Xu Yunmiao's level, a little wind was heard.
"If it's true, maybe there's hope." Xu Yunmiao said secretly.
On the other side of Las Vegas, Chen Mo and Falck also officially attacked.
"David, you have to be clear, now I'm your boss. The glory that Michael gave you is a flash of the past, and I can make you brilliant again, and if you feel that you still need to be in cahoots with him, we can talk about the liquidated damages for terminating the contract now, and if you think I am your boss, you probably need to tell me something that I don't know. Chen Mo said lightly.
After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone without waiting for Falck to answer him.
Falck's face on the other side of the phone was very ugly, and he was in a terrible mood at the moment. Despite the scorching sun outside, he still felt cold, but despite the cold, his bald head kept sweating out.
In the afternoon, Falck sorted out the materials and flew directly to Las Vegas.
Chen Mo has moved out of the Venetian Hotel and stayed in another hotel called New York.
The hotel has restored New York's Times Square and the Statue of Liberty, and although it's a miniature version, you really feel like you've come to New York.
This feeling of time and space travel made Chen Mo's mood better.
Chen Mo decided to go out after staying in the hotel, the downtown area of Las Vegas is really too small, and almost all of it is casinos and hotels.
Chen Mo had only been around the city for an hour, and when he was about to go home, and then find Hua Xiaoou to come out for something to drink, a familiar voice came into his ears.
It was the sound of a basketball hitting the ground, and some people shouting.
This voice attracted Chen Mo, and he walked over unconsciously.
When you've been doing something all year long, you feel bored, but suddenly it stops, and you don't get used to it.
It's okay if you don't hear this voice, but Chen Mo's hands began to itch when he heard this sound.
A group of students were playing there, and the court was shabby, but it was a full basketball court, but the seven of them only used half of the court.
Because he was going to go out shopping, Chen Mo was wearing sneakers, and the shoes were just right for playing, although he was wearing a shirt, but if he played with these students, it would definitely be enough.
"Classmate, would you like to add one? Exactly four to four. Chen Mo walked over and said.
The white guy at the head is the guy with the best skills on the court, just now Chen Mo saw that his shaking movements were great, and he also saw him dunk a basket, his athleticism and skills are very good.
The man looked at Chen Mo's clothes and said, "Do you know how to play?" ”
Chen Mo was wearing sunglasses, and today he was irritated by seeing the news, and he didn't take care of his hair after taking a shower, which is obviously different from his meticulous style of taking care of his hair before every game, because he was not recognized. "Not really! I'll just beat it. ”
"Hmmm! That's fine, I'll take you to play first! You're in a team with me, so it's very balanced. In addition, our friends may be coming in a while, and we won't be able to take you to fight then. The man said, "My name is John, and I know you." ”
"My name is Jack." Chen Mo said.
"Let's kick off then! You go to the tee, and if you can't play, go inside and grab a rebound! Grab the rebound, hold it, and pass the ball to me. ”
Chen Mo thought this was really interesting, and agreed with a smile, "Okay!" ”
"Hey! Don't you take your sunglasses off? A black guy shouted.
This guy seems to be a mixed race, he is one of Chen Mo's teammates, Chen Mo replied with a smile: "No, so be it!" ”
"Ray-Ban's! Don't break it. The half-race black guy muttered.
There was a tall white man on the opposite side with a bald head, and said, "Pretend!" ”
Chen Mo rolled up her sleeves and trouser legs and entered the competition mode. (To be continued.) )
