Chapter 52: ESPN Pictorial
Christmas was like this, and Kyle had nothing to do, and he spent the big holiday in his hospital room. But Kyle's board appeared in ESPN's Christmas special pictorial.
"St. Joseph's University surprises talented players in the Great Eastern League", the headline reads, and the scene of St. Joseph's Yale team against the Connecticut Huskies is described in pen and ink. And the protagonist Kyle, who opened the halo of the protagonist, was described as a god who blocked and killed the gods, and the Buddha blocked and destroyed the Buddha, brave and good at fighting, tall and mighty, tenacious, calm and calm, and the god of war with the true nature of a killer, written in flesh and blood. For example, when he is injured, how his facial features are distorted, how painful his expression is, how heart-rending his voice is, everything is on the same theme, that is, Kyle is enduring inhuman pain, and then staged a play The Return of the King, and the final ending is, victory! Lore! Eye-catching words.
What the hell is ESPN Pictorial? It is a derivative of this sports media tycoon, and its influence is of course huge. But the pictorial is back in publication, and it's nothing to make a fuss about, is it? It's all broadcast on TV, doesn't it seem cumbersome to write this paragraph? Of course not.
It's the end of December, the NCAA regular season is in full swing, and the NBA draft scouts are at their busiest, because there are also high and low talents that need to be scouted. Talent players who are drafted in any pick start to be scouted during this time. Physical, talent, stability, technique, characteristics, defects, ability values, etc., and then a comprehensive evaluation is carried out and selected for key follow-up.
March Madness is going to be the big one, it's a bigger stage, it's going to be a lot of people's attention, it's going to be a lot of tests, it's a matter of talent showing leadership. Those who can bring the team to the stage of the championship are first confirmed to have leadership, that is, they have the potential to become a star, which is the bonus effect, and the draft order will of course be high, and the "little green house" at the time of the draft is for these talents.
What about players who didn't make it to the tournament? There are still a lot of geniuses who have slipped through the net, of course. Then that scout's report will decide your life and death. In addition to the data, that is, the more players who attract attention, the more favorable the situation. If you have some more legendary stories, or more amazing performances, this can add a lot of points to your draft.
By doing this, ESPN Pictorial is nakedly promoting Kyle. Watching the game on TV is a blurry and one-sided image, and people who are not receptive to strangers can not remember it at all.
In an ordinary NCAA regular game, people with a strong memory have a certain chance of remembering the characters who performed well, and more guys with average memory may forget it in a blink of an eye. Literal publishing is different, it can conduct the brain nerves to filter more deeply, and the newspapers on the street may be preserved longer, making it easier for people to read and remember them repeatedly.
This is tantamount to a double effect, people who have watched it on TV and then read the pictorial, and they will remember the name Kyle Lowry better. People who haven't seen it on TV can also have a vague impression of Kyle Lowry when they read the illustrated magazine.
This situation is to make Kyle more famous and more well-known, which is a huge help to him in the draft. In case the Yale team doesn't make it to the tournament, then this article is worth a lot of money.
Kyle, who was lying in the hospital room, didn't know all this, and more scouts were already eyeing him, which was a good start. Once at the bottom of the 10,000-year table, since Kyle joined, he has played a record against the sky, 9-0, defeating the two strong teams of Pittsburgh and Connecticut, and his leadership is revealed. Outstanding stats, excellent defense, good overall view, broad vision, calm and composed, big heart, breakthrough like a humanoid steel cannon, extremely sharp, physical talent, uh! This is not considered a coquette's son in countless universities, at most the upstream level, but so what? His dominance has been proven. That's what most scouts do in writing.
All the disturbances have nothing to do with Kyle for the time being, he's bored and bored right now. Valeciona is home, and she's going back to school! He left without much affection, which made Kyle very tired. Super Mario has to work and support her family. Ronnie went back to his earthly paradise to savor life. Martelley and his remnant crabs will train even more brutally for even more brutal matches. In other words, Kyle is now the only one left, nestled in the ward and looking at the ceiling.
Isn't it okay to go out for a walk? Wrapped in a fixed plate and a plaster cast, the right leg of Kyle is left to walk on one leg? Kyle's bitterness! Originally, he wanted to flirt with the nurse sisters, but when he saw their dignity and figure, he completely extinguished the fire and couldn't make a sound. Forget it, it's better to wash and sleep. Even if it was a bath, Kyle was suffering and cried silently, but fortunately, the school was generous and hired professional nursing. And the weather is suddenly cold, and the heat feels that the bed is icy, at this moment, Kyle misses Valejoona very much, this girl is good to be around, do something she loves.
But Kyle is not looking forward to the beautiful woman he thinks about day and night, but an uncle. Allens Paul is Kyle's roommate in the hospital for the first time, well! For Kyle now, that hospitalization was truly the first time.
"Hey! It's true... It's changed so much that I almost don't recognize you. Kyle looked at the guy, who was skinny, with sunken eyes, bloodshot, dull hair, and although he was beautifully combed, he was messy and dirty, and looked like a man who was about to enter the coffin board. I don't know how he found his own.
"I can't believe it, I managed to lose weight." Allens flattened his mouth and looked like he wanted to cry.
"This is to share my weight loss experience with me?" Kyle has no feelings for Allens, and after half a year, he suddenly popped up, and it's strange to have feelings! Besides, everyone really doesn't know each other.
"Remember the first time we met, what we talked about?"
"Uh-huh! It's a bit old, and I feel like I'm back in time with the dinosaurs. ”
"I'm a sports agent! Remember? ”
"And then? Don't tell me you want to sign me in your name. Kyle probably knows what he's coming for.
"Yes! That's it! Kyle, we've formed a tacit understanding. "Allens was dancing and happy.
"It's... I don't know what to say. "Is there anything to be happy about? Kyle is speechless, what are you kidding, sign your name, don't be funny. "I mean, I'm still in college, I'm not the person you're looking for at all."
"Nope! Kyle, I'm immensely optimistic about you, I said you'd be a top star, and everything went the way I said, didn't it? ”
"I'm sorry, I can't do this, I'm really sorry." Didn't you say the stars? When will it be the top again? Kyle didn't want to dwell on it, so he simply refused.
"Oh! This is not good news. Kyle! Do you have a broker? "Ahrens' disappointment is on the outside.
"Nope! It's that I don't think about it yet. Kyle replied truthfully.
"Uh-huh! In this case, then, when you want to sign a contract, don't hesitate to consider me, I am absolutely professional, please rest assured. Allens continued to sell himself, handed over the business card, and took his leave. So Kyle! I wish you a speedy recovery, I'll go first, remember to contact me, bye. ”
"Bye!" Kyle reached out and took it, he remembered that he had taken one of Ahrens' business cards, but who knows where it went!
