Chapter 115: Broken Appointment
Draft day is just a few days away.
Deng Zhilong and Chen Linna came from China to the ocean.
When he picked up his father and mother at the airport, Deng Hongfei was very emotional.
There may be only them in this world, no matter how far away, no matter what kind of attitude they have towards playing before, when it comes to important moments, they will leave their mundane affairs behind without hesitation.
The first thing I said when I saw my dad was, "Dad, how is your health lately?" ”
"It's good, you don't have to worry about it." Deng Zhilong shook his head, pointed at him with a smile, and said, "You, as long as you get me a good ranking in this draft." ”
"But Dad, I'm not on the invitation list of the Little Green House, so you may not be able to follow me to the Barclays Center."
Deng Hongfei said a little embarrassed.
The so-called Little Green House means that all the NBA general managers will vote for the players they think are most likely to be the lottery pick, and invite them to the draft site to enter the Little Green House and wait for the draft results.
The roster is usually around 15 players, and they will be able to sit with their family and friends at the draft and celebrate the harvest together.
Once a player is drafted in the draft, the officials on the scene will give them a cap with the logo of the selected team, and then the player will walk up to the stage to shake hands with the president at the time, and to put it simply, these players are favored on the previous prediction lists of major platforms.
Therefore, they will have a lot more scenes and spotlights than other players who have not been invited by the Little Green House.
Of course, not being invited by the little green house doesn't mean anything.
All of this still has to wait for the real results.
I thought that Chen Linna would question this issue again, but she unexpectedly burst out with this sentence, "No matter what, since you have come to this point, then you can only accept all the results, because this is your choice." ”
Her expression as cold as ever when she talked about basketball.
After leaving the words, he walked forward on his own.
In place, the father and son of the Deng family looked at her back in a daze, Deng Zhilong smiled, "Don't care, your mother is busy with work during this time." ”
"How's going on with the company?"
Recalling the crisis that occurred at home before he went abroad, Deng Hongfei couldn't help but ask more.
Deng Zhilong waved his hand, "It's all a trivial matter, you don't need to care about it, you just need to focus on basketball, we will provide you with the best conditions, by the way, how about your current agent?" ”
Deng Zhilong already knew that Deng Hongfei had found an agent on his own initiative, but he didn't blame his son, but simply asked a few words about the agent's situation and then affirmed it.
"He's very good, and there is no doubt about his ability to do things." Deng Hongfei praised without hesitation.
During the period of cooperation with John Nynon, he was quite worry-free, and the latter could handle many uncertain things for him.
So he also quietly made a sum of money from John Ninnon's account, injecting a shot of strength into this poor acid agent who eats and drinks dew.
The two of them tacitly agreed to this, but they could clearly feel that John Nynon's enthusiasm was even higher.
In order to save time and travel to more cities to meet with more team executives, John Nynon no longer had to buy discounted tickets for the early morning of every flight he chosen, and began to travel more efficiently and happily across the United States......
The same happened during this time.
On social media in the United States, the big ones led by the well-known beautiful basketball blogger "devilangel" have reposted a piece of content about the authenticity verification of Deng Hongfei's birth medical certificate.
The content expresses trust in Deng Hongfei's suspicious birthday from many aspects, and also lists a lot of actual evidence that cannot be found on official platforms to provide evidence for the content.
At the same time, he also began to build momentum for Deng Hongfei on social media.
Although the turbulent storm is not too influential compared to the stormy pre-draft media coverage.
But it has also changed the decisions of all the team's top management to a greater or lesser extent.
Shu Xin, Liu Min, Xu Zhiqiu.
These people in the shadows are doing their own efforts for Deng Hongfei's draft.
Whatever the reason, they hope the latter will get a good result at the Barclays Center's draft.
——
As a client, Deng Hongfei took his parents to his residence in Seattle.
Tomorrow he's on a flight to New York, to the Barclays Center.
It's just that what makes him a little anxious is that his girlfriend, who has been contacted for a long time, has not heard from him until now.
Is it because the plane hasn't landed yet? Or what?
It wasn't until twelve o'clock in the evening that he finally contacted Shen Yan.
The latter's breathing was a little rapid, as if he was walking, and he could vaguely hear the faint sound of cars speeding away.
"Little stool, me, me."
Shen Yan's voice was full of apology, "I'll see if I can book a flight in the early morning." ”
"What are you doing again?"
After Deng Hongfei sensed the situation on the other side of the earpiece, he frowned dissatisfiedly.
"I was supposed to book an afternoon flight, but there was something wrong with the surgery, and by the time it was done, it was already night."
"Surgery, surgery."
Deng Hongfei sighed heavily in his heart, and wanted to say, "I always feel that the operating table is the most important thing for you." ”
But what came out of his mouth was-
"Don't come, it's not safe to be so late, remember to watch TV in a few days, go to bed early, good night."
Deng Hongfei hung up the phone after speaking.
He sat on the bed with great mixed feelings.
Although I have long been accustomed to the other party's character, it always makes people feel a little chilled to miss an appointment in such a thing.
I still remember the last time, when the Shen family arrived in San Francisco, he took the plane without saying a word.
He's also busy, his time is crowded, why do that? It represents a kind of attention from the heart.
Maybe I'm thinking too much......
Nothing was said all night.
Early the next morning, Deng Hongfei just pushed the door out of the bedroom and saw that hot milk and some nutritious meals had been set up on the dining table.
"Yesterday I saw your recipe on your refrigerator, and I made it according to that, and I ate it boldly with confidence."
Chen Linna was wearing an apron, completely devoid of the appearance of a strong woman in the business world, "Xiao Yan didn't come, did you?" ”
"Yes, hey."
Deng Hongfei sighed, sat at the table, looked at the sumptuous food, and was worried.
"It's okay, if she's busy, don't force it, you eat quickly, eat and leave." Chen Linna urged.
Continue to pour at the stovetop.
Deng Zhilong has not yet gotten up, and the latter's physical condition determines the necessity and importance of rest.
The double toss of travel fatigue and jet lag is already very tight, and it will be too dangerous if you don't do it well in terms of rest.
Deng Hongfei quickly finished eating, gave a word of advice before leaving, and then embarked on the journey to the Barclays Center.
