Paul was doing a cross-dribble in front of him in a half-squat, and the force of the dribble was so strong that the basketball hit the floor very loudly and very quickly.

Suddenly, as if sensing someone behind him, he suddenly stopped dribbling and turned to look at Lu Fei, who was standing in the distance.

"Are you...... Lu Fei? Chris Paul cried out in surprise.

Lu Fei walked over and glanced at Chris Paul, who was obviously much more immature in front of him.

He didn't know what caused Chris Paul not to join Vixen, he remembered reading a report that Paul had verbally agreed to Vixen University and signed a letter of intent when he was a freshman in high school, and his maternal grandfather happily put on a Vixerson University hat for him.

But this is the last time for the grandfather and grandson.

Four hours later, his 61-year-old grandfather was robbed by a group of young men and killed.

Nearly 2,000 people attended his grandfather's funeral, and Paul decided to dedicate his next game against Parkland High School to his grandfather.

In that game, he scored 32 points in the first half and 59 points in the first three minutes.

In the final moments, he cut into the basket with the ball and sent the ball into the rim as he was fouled. He then deliberately missed a penalty to set the score at 61 points, exactly the age of his grandfather when he died.

At the end of the game, Paul left the field and threw himself into his father's arms and cried.

Lu Fei felt that it was impossible for him to hear Lorenzo Roma say that Chris Paul chose to join the University of Washington, but Lorenzo Roma swore that Chris Paul chose the University of Washington because of Lu Fei.

"Hello, Paul, I've heard Romaar talk about you." Lu Fei said hello with a smile.

He walked up to Paul, who was a little shorter than him, pulled out a towel from Paul's sports backpack behind the basketball hoop and threw it over, saying, "I thought there were only two training freaks at the University of Washington, me and Brandon, but I didn't expect you to be one more now." ”

Chris Paul smiled shyly and wiped the sweat from his face, "Brandon told me that after every fight, you train in the gym for a long time, and I want to learn from you. ”

“……”

Roy is really ...... It's going to fool people.

Lu Fei picked up the basketball and threw one casually, the basketball fell into the basket with a bang, and asked while shooting: "By the way, why did you choose to join Washington?" ”

"Because of you."

"Because of me?"

"Yes, I'm a fan of yours, I love watching you and the way you play, but obviously we're not players of the same style." Chris Paul said.

"That's it?" Lu Fei threw the ball to Paul and asked, "I remember that you signed a letter of intent with Vixen, why didn't you go to Vixen?" ”

Chris Paul was stunned, and the shadow of his grandfather suddenly appeared in his mind, and a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes,

Lu Fei knows this and is not surprising, as a high school star, he was selected by USA Today as the All-American High School Second Team, the Associated Press named him North Carolina Player of the Year, and the Charlotte Observer called him Mr. Basketball of North Carolina. This summer, he also played in the All-American McDonald's High School All-Star Game, diching out 10 assists. He also led the team to a game-high 24 points in the AAU U-19 men's interstate game with a 116-70 victory.

And the media also made a lot of noise about such a star's reneging on his promise to join the University of Washington.

"Because of your last game." Chris Paul said seriously: "After the last game, you disappeared when everyone was celebrating, when I knew you were playing, you didn't know that your mother was having surgery, and the first time you knew after the game, you chose to return home immediately, since I knew about it, I knew I needed to follow in your footsteps, I want to be a person like you who values family affection, competition is a part of life, and family, is everything." ”

Lu Fei was stunned, he didn't expect it to be because of this reason.

He patted Paul on the shoulder.

"I'll always be in Seattle for the rest of the year, and I'll live on campus." He said softly: "I promised Romar that I will train with you as long as I have time, and you can call me when you train in the future." ”

"Really?"

"Of course."

"That's great, why don't we start now!"

“……”

Did you take it seriously so quickly? No wonder he was fooled by Roy. Paul was really ...... in college Simplicity?

"It's too late today, I just got off the plane, you need to go back early to rest." Lu Fei said seriously.

"Okay." Paul nodded in agreement with a slight regret.

After packing their things, the two walked out of the arena.

In the quiet campus, under the dim street lamp, the backs of the two people were stretched by the lights for a long time.

……

Early the next morning, the media in Seattle received the news that Lu Fei had returned to Seattle last night. After communicating with the SuperSonics, Joe Smith drove to the Key Arena in the center of Seattle to hold the first press conference.

This is the second time Lu Fei has been to the Key Arena, the last time he was watching a game as a player from the University of Washington, and he remembers having a heads-up with Francis on the court that day.

The meeting was simple, with a table set up in the press conference room, behind which was a backdrop of the supersonic team logo.

Lu Fei walked into the venue, accompanied by Supersonic General Manager Rick Sander.

The flashing lights kept flashing, and not only in Seattle, but throughout Washington state, the media sent people to the scene.

A reporter began to ask: "May I ask Mr. Sander, Lu Fei joined the SuperSonics, and he was selected by the same No. 1 pick you traded when you were general manager of the Pistons, do you think this is a kind of fate?" ”

Rick Sander replied with a smile on his face: "Of course, the fact that Lu Fei happens to be our own Seattle player makes me think that God has made arrangements in the dark, and you know that I am still counting on that trade to win the title of General Manager of the Year." ”

The reporters in the audience laughed.

However, I have to say that if Lu Fei really played an excellent performance, then with the No. 1 pick that originally belonged to the Grizzlies from the Pistons, Rick Sander is really likely to get the best general manager, because what is even more legendary is that this No. 1 pick was obtained when he was the general manager of the Pistons.

Another reporter asked Lu Fei: "Lu Fei, hello, first of all, congratulations on winning the Asian Championship on behalf of the Chinese men's basketball team, but because of this, you missed the opportunity to train with the team, I don't know if this will affect the regular season record this year?" ”

"I don't think so." Lu Fei replied with a smile: "You must know that there is still more than a month before the start of the regular season, and the team still has so many preseason games to play, every player in the SuperSonics team is an excellent professional player, I believe that I can be a part of them and help the SuperSonics win." ”

The reporters in the audience recorded Lu Fei's words one after another, because Lu Fei's words were written in the newspaper, which was obviously more attractive than Rick Sander's.

Rick Sound gestured to the reporters in the audience who had raised their hands to ask questions, and motioned for him to ask questions.

"Mr. Lu Fei, we know that the SuperSonics also traded a two-way guard like Antonio Daniels this year, what do you think about this?"

The atmosphere of the meeting suddenly became solemn.
