Shi Lei connected the phone, and the frustration and exhaustion of the days made him not even see the number of the caller, he was just like this weather, the whole person was groggy. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info has a flame hidden in his heart, but he can only burn himself.

“hello，i＇mtheassistantdirectorofthecelticselena，mrshileiiscalling，please?” (Hello, I'm Elena, assistant director of Celtic, are you Mr. Shi Lei?) ）

"Celtic!"

This seemed to come from the ethereal sound of the sky, which made Shi Lei's eyes suddenly enlarge, and the fatigue and sleepiness of the journey, as well as the frustration and confusion that could not be accomplished, swept away on his face. Encouraged by the sound, Shi Lei's heart, like a cowhide drum being beaten, was beating happily and fiercely.

At this time, Shi Lei felt that his eyes were a little dry, and his voice was also a little inexplicably trembling.

"Is all this true?"

Shi Lei still couldn't believe that his ears were hearing the information.

“yes，iam，andgladtotalkwithyou，myenglishisnotverygood，canyouspeakslowly?” (Yes, I am, it's a pleasure to talk to you, I don't speak English very well, can you speak slower?) ）

Shi Lei was a little incoherent, and his already bad foreign language even made grammatical errors. He pressed his chest desperately, excited, and unconsciously amplified his voice, stumbling and saying.

“noproblem，sir.weseefromvideo，youthinkyouaretheoheteamneeds，inviteyoutotheteamtoparticipateinthetrial，youcaneheretoparticipateinthenbasummerleague?” (No problem, sir.) We've seen the video you've sent and think you're the guy the team needs, inviting you to come to the team for a tryout, can you come over and play in the NBA Summer League? ）

This is a typical diplomatic phrase, and the real situation is that they are interested in Shi Lei's identity as a Chinese.

Yao Ming had great success in the NBA, and all the teams began to pay attention to this vast market at that time.

The Celtics, who have not been doing well in recent years, plan to use Shi Lei to stimulate their declining ball market. They don't have to pay anything, they just invite you to a tryout, and then play a few games that don't make much sense, like summer league, preseason or whatever, and if it doesn't fit, they will notify you "I'm sorry", it's a good deal!

This has happened many times, and this is not the first time, nor is it the last, like the dwarf in the plaster country, and the hippopotamus with a stick, it is this similar marketing situation.

However, the Celtics' idea this time may be in vain, Shi Lei is not what they think, a genius with great influence, but a guy that no one knows.

However, no matter what, this is the only ray of light that Shi Lei has encountered in these days of struggle. Just such a sentence made Shi Lei feel that all the things he had endured in his soul in these days were nothing.

On the contrary, all the experiences also made him feel a huge sense of satisfaction in his heart, which is the satisfaction of falling rocks and ups and downs that can never be experienced in the uneventful ordinary life!

“noproblem，iwillattendontime.” (No problem at all, I'll be on time.) ）

Holding his mobile phone desperately, close to his ear, Shi Lei said loudly in an uncontrollable loud voice.

“thatgood，pleasebesuretoarrivebeforejuly，beforethecalltocontactme，iwillweleyouring.” (Okay, please make sure you arrive before July, call me before you come, and I'll take care of your arrival.) ）

"Beep", the call was hung up.

Shi Lei didn't seem to notice, he still maintained the posture of answering the phone, and kept saying: "Thank you, thank you, thank you....."

God closes a door, always leaves a window for people, no matter what the Celts think, for Shi Lei, this is a huge surprise and opportunity, a hard-looking road to the other side, just suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, if it weren't for the car, there was only a little reason left in his heart, he probably couldn't help but cheer loudly.

There is no haze, the sky has become blue, the heart that has been suppressed for a long time is finally opened, all the fatigue accumulated over the past few days has surged up, and he has maintained the posture of answering the phone, Shi Lei fell crooked on the seat of the bus, and fell asleep deeply.

With a smile of satisfaction!

Many years later, when people asked Shi Lei how he could take the first step in professional basketball in such a way, he didn't want to get involved too much, or spit out the training strategy and echelon construction of domestic basketball, and replied with a little humor: "Because I don't have an agent, I have to take on this part of the work that should be done by them." ”

At that time, he had deeply realized how lucky he was to receive such a call.

Every year in the NBA, there are countless scouts and agents holding similar videos to promote their players, the only difference is that Shi Lei has done all this by himself, and the video production is more crude and has no highlights.

What does it mean for a basketball layman to suddenly break into that dream stage with good luck? What kind of future awaits him?

Shi Lei didn't take all this into account for the time being, just like an ignorant child, who didn't realize that there would be a lot of hardships and obstacles on the way to growth. All he knew now was that he was getting closer to what he wanted to pursue.

He is no longer a salted fish without dreams!

When he got off the bus and stepped on this familiar land, the joy in his heart diminished a little.

The first question that Shi Lei thought of was - "How should I tell my parents?" ”
