But the setting of the street in the previous life is placed in this life, but it is an extremely perfect setting!

First of all, the newspaper that Richard himself serialized is the Indiana Herald, and the people who read this newspaper must be Indiana natives, and the protagonist of the novel is set in the countryside of Indiana, which will make readers feel more immersed......

This is similar to basketball novels in previous lives, most of which set the protagonist as Chinese!

Secondly, the strong physical fitness of the protagonist is also more in line with the appetite of old American fans......

……

About two hours later, Richard had already written the first chapter......

Unlike online articles, this newspaper serialization must not engage in the 2Klux Klan, and Richard's first chapter is about 5,000 words long......

When the protagonist Blake first entered school, he was valued by his coach for his physical fitness and recruited into the school team, and as a result, he scored an astonishing statistic of 0 points, 27 rebounds and 15 blocks in the first game......

Shocked the whole school, and was trained by the coach!

This is the content of the first chapter, and after Richard finished writing it, he carefully checked it again, eliminated a few typos, and changed a few misnomers......

The first chapter of Violent Black is complete!

……

Richard was about to make a phone call to Bill Robert, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper's sports section, to submit his article, but the phone rang first.

"Lee, I'm Robert, congratulations! Congratulations! ”

It's none other than Bill Robert.

Richard was stunned, congratulations on what? Does this thing know that he has recruited several All-Star freshmen?

"Congratulations, Lee, your Boiler Crew has won countless honors this time, especially you, ESPN Head Coach of the Year, NABC Head Coach of the Year, Naismith Head Coach of the Year, AP Head Coach of the Year, ......"

"Oh my God, it's crazy, almost all the authoritative media have awarded you the honor of best manager!"

"Li, let's have an interview at ten o'clock in the morning......

Robert said excitedly that Indiana has not had such a dazzling head coach as Richard for some years, and as the editor-in-chief, he naturally will not miss this kind of good opportunity for an interview!

"Yes, Robert, I just so have something to look for you!"

"Lee, if there is anything to say, as long as I Robert can do it, I will do it!"

Richard directly said what he was going to contribute, which directly made Robert on the other end of the phone speechless......

He wanted to ask Richard if he was joking, but Richard's tone didn't sound like a joke......

"Man, we're in the sports section, not the literature section, if you really want to submit, I can help you get in touch, it shouldn't be too much of a problem...... Robert said with a wry smile.

"No, Robert, I'm going to pitch in the sports section because I'm writing basketball novels......"

Robert was directly dumbfounded, he thought he had heard it wrong, basketball novel?! There is such a thing in the world?!

There are basketball movies, but these movies are all scripts that are written after setting the theme first......

But since Richard has said that he wants to post it in the sports section, it is naturally impossible for Robert to refuse......

Richard's face still has to be given, after all, Indiana is not the only newspaper in Herald......

……

At nine o'clock in the morning, the Herald reporter returned to the newspaper office with Richard's manuscript after completing an interview with Richard.

Tomorrow morning, Richard will be able to see his text appear in the Herald, and he will not sleep all night......

……

At eight o'clock the next morning, Richard got the Herald of the day!

The headline of the Herald was the news that Richard won the head coach of the year in various fields, and he didn't look closely at the headline, but went straight to the sports section to find his masterpiece!

Indiana has a pretty good basketball atmosphere, so the sports section is a lot of space, taking up a third of the pages of the newspaper.

On the last page of the sports section, Richard found the striking "Violent Black" in bold bold letters, followed by Richard's name.

It takes up half of the newspaper's space, after all, the number of words is really a lot......

After a cursory look, it can be seen that Robert is quite concerned about this matter, and the typography is very fine.

"Whew, I don't know how the response will be......"

The novel had already been sent out, and Richard was a little nervous, a bit like the feeling he had every time he opened a new book in his previous life......

……

For a whole day, Richard wandered around the school, doing nothing......

Under normal circumstances, the head coaches of other schools are definitely not as idle as Richard, and they may have to search for dozens or even hundreds of potential high school students throughout the offseason before they can finally put together a reliable lineup!

So their offseason is basically idle......

It took Richard a month to get almost everything done, and probably ended up with more than any other manager......

The price of completing the work efficiently is that Richard is starting to be idle......

Although the novel he wrote was submitted, the newspaper serialization was definitely different from the online serialization, and there was no book review area, and Richard could not see the readers' reactions......

……

Finally, in the evening, Richard went to bed early, and at two o'clock in the morning, the phone in the room rang rapidly.

"Lee! I'm Robert! ”

"God, what kind of magic do you have?!"

"Our newspaper is out of stock! At one o'clock in the morning, a group of people rushed into our newspaper office, insisting on buying yesterday's newspaper! ”

"But all our newspapers are out of stock, where to find newspapers to sell to them, and in the end we almost got into a fight!"

"It's all for your Violent Black!"

Robert's tone was extremely rapid, with trembling excitement......

Richard suddenly fell asleep, good news, this is definitely good news......

Even the newspapers are out of stock, which shows that the response has been very good, and readers have recognized this form of fiction......

Of course, there may not be a reason for Richard's identity, and if it were someone else, the effect might not be so good!

Either way, Richard has taken the first step!

"Li, I know you've been busy lately, busy recruiting students......"

"But can you spare a little time to write a few thousand more words!"

"As for the remuneration, 700 US dollars per 1,000 words, no, 1,000 US dollars per 1,000 words, this is the limit that our newspaper can give!"

Richard was stunned, 1,000 US dollars for a thousand words?! Good guy, such a generous remuneration almost didn't make Richard scream!

According to the calculation of 2 million words in a long-form basketball article, the remuneration given by the newspaper alone has reached 2 million US dollars!

"Good! Robert, I'll write another four or five thousand words tomorrow, and I'll serialize it every three days in the future......" Richard said with a smile.
