1726.Nike Junior Summit

I hope that all brothers and sisters, if you still have the remaining votes in your hand, vote for the bullet casing. ****

At the banquet, when people talk about Daqin seafood, they always talk about the Murray family, which is the Murray family that was suppressed by Qin Shiou and Butler, and almost completely withdrew from the high-end seafood ingredient market.

Although they were all hello, hello, hello, everyone, Qin Shiou could hear the regret of these people when they mentioned the Mori family, and these white people didn't seem to want to see a seafood brand controlled by the yellow race occupy their country's market.

It's a pity that they don't count what they said, Daqin seafood is too outstanding in terms of taste and nutrition, and the withdrawal of the Murray family is a matter of course, Qin Shiou didn't ask much, it is said that Butler only engaged in a few promotional activities and occupied the sellers of the Murray family.

But now the Mori family is still living well, and they are spending more energy on the mass seafood market, and the benefits are better. It's a pity that their good days are numbered, and the seafood from Newfoundland that was born for the mass seafood market is about to enter the market, and it will definitely have a greater impact on the Murray family at that time.

The dinner party did not end until the early hours of the morning, and Qin Shiou received a bunch of business cards and phone numbers, these people saw his close relationship with the Bruce couple, showed him very affectionately, and invited him to participate in this party and that event.

Qin Shiou didn't come to Chicago to play this time, he came to accompany Michelle to participate in the basketball game, and the registration began the next day, and Vivian deliberately took time out to accompany Qin Shiou and Michelle to report.

After the report, it was internal training, Qin Shiou went in to take a look, Michelle was the shortest in it, just over one meter eight tall, but considering that he was only 15 years old and still had a lot of growth potential, there was no problem with eating basketball.

The game of basketball is considered a game of giants. Although there are talented short guards such as Iverson and Paul, it still does not affect people's definition of the sport.

There were already people doing warm-up training and shooting training in the training ground, Guo Song accompanied Michelle to do warm-up exercises, and the two walked to a blank field.

Qin Shiou stood on the sidelines to observe these geniuses in the world basketball junior group back then, and rejoiced while watching him, fortunately he hired Guo Song, a semi-professional, to train Michelle. The other teenagers are trained by a professional team, so Michelle looks like a wild monk who has become a monk halfway through.

Founded in 1995 and held annually around early July, the Nike Junior Basketball Summit culminates in a tournament featuring a national junior tryout team of high school graduates and an international junior tryout team of non-American players aged 15-17.

Each year, the tournament attracts representatives from NBA scouts and college teams, and players are usually accepted into the top basketball schools in the United States shortly after playing the Nike Pinnacle.

The United States has many of the world's most professional basketball schools, and they are willing to offer high scholarships to basketball talents, and they will do whatever it takes to compete for these talented stars.

Pity. Michelle's learning foundation is too poor, although she skipped a grade all the way, she will only go to the eighth grade, and she is still one step away from high school, let alone college.

Qin Shiou looked at the list of participating players, Michelle is also the youngest one, and of course the least famous, he guessed the reason why Michelle was invited. It's still operated by the Bruces, otherwise it's just about fame and strength. Nike doesn't invite junior high school students like Michelle to attend.

The first to report were these young athletes of the international team, although they were tall and big, they looked immature on their faces, and they were just minors.

Qin Shiou looked at the athletes of the international team one by one, and the more he looked at it, the more frustrated he became, why the fuck were they so tall? Even the defenders are more than 1.95 meters. Among them, Michelle became a child completely.

Subsequently, the talented high school students from the United States entered, and at this time, Qin Shiou was comforted a little in his heart, the height distribution of American athletes was relatively scattered, with a guard of 1.8 meters. There are also two-meter-one center forwards.

Michelle's personality is a little shy and introverted, after entering the field, he will do warm-up exercises vigorously, and after warming up, he will start to do fast walking in with both hands to exercise his ability to hold the ball in both hands.

Qin Shiou wanted Michelle to get to know his teammates, but seeing that the teenagers on the international team did not communicate with each other, this idea could only be abandoned.

On the other hand, on the side of the American domestic team, the teenagers are very open, they greet each other after they meet, even if they don't know each other, they quickly meet through friends, and they get together to talk and laugh and joke, a happy look, which is in stark contrast to the dull international basketball world.

This is normal, everyone in the international basketball world does not know each other, and even there is a language barrier between them, and most of the talents of the American domestic team have played against each other, even if they have not played against each other, they have all learned of each other's existence from the media, and they are very familiar with each other.

The week-long summit was a great opportunity for the teenagers to spend five days in the run-in and two days after the game to be mentored by Nike's stars and professional trainers.

In the next two days, Qin Shiou has been accompanying Michelle to receive training, and the geniuses of the international team are obviously more reserved, they are estimated to be the pride of the sky in their own country, and they are very arrogant in their hearts, almost no one takes the initiative to know their teammates, and they are waiting for others to take the initiative to contact.

Michelle kept his head even more sullen and didn't speak, every day is to practice physical fitness, ball control, passing and shooting, if Qin Shiou and Guo Song don't talk to him, he can shut up all day and not speak.

In this way, the coach and the parents can only communicate, and then they are familiar with the teenagers and then they are introduced, and it took another two days, and finally before the game, the teenagers all got to know each other.

On the evening of July 14, the game officially began, and the silent Michelle was selected for the starting lineup of the international team and played as a point guard, which made other teenagers very angry, they felt that Michelle was not famous and had no strength, and did not deserve to start.

Qin Shiou was a little embarrassed, Michelle was able to start, and naturally thanks to the Bruce couple, they asked for Michelle to start when they sponsored Nike. But it's not just the back door, the international team coaching staff sent by Nike recognized Michelle's strength, and the first starter announced by the head coach was Michelle.

Tickets for the game are free, and there is a live broadcast in Chicago, and there are TV stations in several countries around the world that have bought the rights to broadcast the game, so there are still many people watching the game.

Qin Shiou sat in the first row with a group of teenagers, and Gordon and the others held signs in their hands, which said 'Banshee Descends to America' and 'Demon Emperor Dominates Fear', which added some popularity to Michelle. (To be continued.) )
