Chapter 136 136, Pre-Draft
It was a month, during this period, in addition to training, Cheng Lei was sitting in the store to prepare for various work, because of insufficient funds, some decorations, Cheng Lei could only purchase things by himself and decorate by himself.
As for the things about myself in the school, a month has also been suppressed, anyway, no one is mentioning it now, during which someone came over to ask Cheng Lei some questions, and after coming a few times, no one came to Cheng Lei again.
As for Johnson, he was quite strong at the beginning, constantly threatening Cheng Lei, but, I don't know why, now, there is no sound at all.
Cheng Lei didn't want to know what happened during the period, and he didn't have time to inquire.
In late May, Cheng Lei's bubble tea shop opened, and there was no money to hire employees, so the store was full of people and Hicks, fortunately, all kinds of milk tea machines were complete, and it was still very easy to do.
As for the energy drink, it can be diluted in the water of the milk tea, and after everything is ready, I chose a rest day, and the store officially opened, because the location is relatively partial, not many people know about it, and the teammates of the basketball team come to cheer.
On this street, a new store, a dozen people suddenly poured in, or let the rest of the shops take a few more looks.
Soon, Morgan brought a group of his younger brothers to cheer, and the street that was not very much of this person suddenly became lively, a storefront, not very big, and not so many people, many people took plastic benches and sat outside the store.
In order to make the store famous, everyone who comes in can get a free bottle of drink, and in the future, I hope that these people will expand the reputation of their store.
"Master, I brought you a little gift!" As he spoke, Morgan clapped his hands outside.
The two younger brothers under his command walked in with a lot of difficulty, and it seemed that it was relatively heavy.
"What a thing, it looks very heavy!" Hicks asked, poking his head out.
"It's on the side of the cash register!" Morgan commanded his men and said.
After stabilizing it, Cheng Lei pulled open the red cloth covering it, which was actually a wood carving that attracted wealth and treasure, and it could be seen that Morgan's superfluous Chinese culture had a certain amount of research.
"Morgan, let's have a cup of milk tea first!" Cheng Lei gave Morgan a bottle of milk tea that Hicks had just made.
Hicks also put a lot of effort into being a good store manager, and in a month, he learned the milk tea technique well, and now, he is doing it well.
All the people present, after drinking the milk tea here, all felt refreshed, and the fatigue on the body was swept away, many people thought at first, isn't this just an ordinary cup of milk tea, and now, they found that this milk tea is indeed a little different from others.
A few days later, other shops on the street were discussing this Jiayue milk tea shop, which was very strange, it was not open during the day, only at night, and it was not open for a long time, from six to nine o'clock.
However, the strange thing is that the business is not bad, at least, it is better than the other stores.
Some people came to buy a cup of milk tea with a curious look, and when they drank it, it was weird, like taking a stimulant, they suspected that there were prohibited items added to it, and some of them were red-eyed, so they reported it directly.
Before the store was opened for a week, various inspection departments came over and over again, and the result, of course, there were no problems.
In this way, the reputation of the small shop was beaten out all of a sudden, and the business became more popular.
"Ray, good news for you!" Hicks said excitedly.
"Huh? What's the good news? Cheng Lei asked suspiciously.
"Do you know how Coach Johnson is doing now?" Hicks said mysteriously.
Cheng Lei shook his head, his focus is now on the operation of the bubble tea shop, how can he have time to deal with Johnson's affairs.
"I heard from others that Coach Johnson was fired from the school!" Hicks said with a smile.
He almost killed Hicks back then, and now, being expelled, makes Hicks feel that God is still fair.
"Really?" Cheng Lei said in surprise.
If you dare to do this openly, you naturally have some confidence, how can you say that you will be expelled directly? Cheng Lei felt a little incredible.
Anyway, the decisions made by the school, these levels of time, I can't get in touch with it, if you have the chance, ask Morgan, he should know some insiders.
In a flash, at the beginning of June, the fame of the bubble tea shop skyrocketed like a rocket, and it suddenly became an Internet celebrity milk tea, which made many people come over, and the two people in the store were obviously too busy, and Morgan arranged for three younger brothers, who would be responsible for coming over to help tomorrow.
The NBA draft will start at the end of June, Cheng Lei almost forgot about it, if it weren't for Hicks' reminder, Cheng Lei would probably have left it behind, anyway, Hicks is not ready to participate in the draft, he thinks, now the development of this bubble tea shop is still very good, and he decided to specialize in this industry in the future.
Cheng Lei has always been hesitant, and he has not yet decided whether to participate or not.
Time passed quickly, and in the middle of June, one day after training, Coach Roy actually called Cheng Lei to the office alone and asked Le about the draft.
"Ray, I think it's better for you to go to this draft!" Coach Roy said directly.
"Coach, do you think it's better for me to participate in the draft?"
"Your current strength, it should be no problem to be selected, you are very young, there is enough room for growth, it is better for your own development, and one thing is that it is better for the school!" Coach Roy said slowly.
Cheng Lei's time, due to Cheng Lei's incident, will always have some impact on the school's reputation, if Cheng Lei can participate in the draft and be selected, it will be excellent for the school's reputation.
"However, I don't think even if I participate in the draft, my ranking will not be too good!" Cheng Lei said.
Many of the people who participated in the draft began to build momentum for themselves long in advance, and there is an operation team behind them to help them, and they are alone, and it is difficult to compete with the forces behind these people.
"The ranking is actually not important, you know, many people who participated in the draft were not good, and later, they all played a very high value!" Coach Roy said with a smile.
"Okay, give me a day, and I'll give the coach an answer tomorrow!" Cheng Lei thought for a while and said.
If you participate in the draft, it means that you have to let go of everything here, your bubble tea shop is just starting, and the current monthly income is very good.
However, hasn't basketball always been my dream? Joining the NBA has always been my goal, but when it comes to this point, why are I holding back a little bit? Cheng Lei asked himself repeatedly in his heart.
