Chapter 134: The Battle for Roy (2)
"Roy, are you free this Sunday? My father wants to have a banquet for my aunt, Mr. Su Dong and you, firstly, to celebrate your victory, and secondly, to celebrate your birthday in advance and enjoy your face. ”
Cheng Yuyang wants to invite me to dinner? This invisible rich man who only has a one-sided acquaintance wants to invite me, a little person, to dinner? What an accident.
Su Dong heard Cheng Zixi's voice on the side, and he was about to explain how to improve the draft rank, he also shut up with interest, he was waiting for Roy to speak.
Roy really spoke, "Brother Su, are you free this Sunday?" ”
"I'm free, I guess your little girlfriend's dad is going to invite us to dinner." When Su Dong said this, his face was full of pride.
"Brother Su, how do you know? Also, Orange is really not my girlfriend......"
"Of course I know, before I came to pick you up, Boss Cheng's personal secretary was on the phone with me, such a big man invited us to dinner, it was a big event." The more Su Dong spoke, the more proud he became, and his subtext was, I didn't expect it, I know a lot more than you.
"And, if I'm not mistaken, Boss Cheng's ultimate intention is to woo you to join his newly acquired Sacramento Kings."
"Hey, Brother Su, why did his secretary contact you earlier for this kind of thing?"
"Because I'm your agent, in sports, it's very important to have an agent who can control the success or failure of a player." After Su Dong finished speaking, he glanced at Roy meaningfully, and this time his subtext was that he was quite important to Roy.
"So if there is anything in the future, will everyone else ask you first?"
"That's right, this is the agent, if I can't settle down here, many things can't be postponed." Su Dong gushed endlessly, and at this time he felt that he was the all-knowing Zhuge Liang, "And according to my understanding of this Boss Cheng, the price of his acquisition of the Kings is not small, but in the long run, he can still make a lot of money, provided that you are the popular king of China." ”
"Don't speculate, Uncle Cheng is a super fan, his original intention is to love basketball...... Roy still remembers Cheng Zixi told him the story of his father.
"No, Roy, you're wrong, a businessman will never make a loss-making deal, if he really likes basketball, he can also build his own team like Zhang Hao, or buy a CBA team to operate, since he chose to go to the United States to buy an NBA team, it proves that the NBA is indeed a place that can make money."
"So what? Are we going to eat or not? Roy was touched by Su Dong's hypocrisy, and he really wanted to find a chance to scold Su Dong.
"Go, of course you have to go, if Boss Cheng personally named you, then the Kings will inevitably use the first round to pick you, this is a great thing, I will now officially correct it, there are now four NBA teams that are interested in you."
"Are there really only four?" Roy also smiled, "Brother Su, your agent is too amateurish." While he was talking, Roy found a way to scare Su Dong.
"I'm an amateur?" Hearing Roy's questioning, Su Dong, who was still triumphant just now, turned serious all of a sudden, "What do you mean by this?" ”
"Why don't you look at your phone or email? I'm sure you've received messages from the Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Clippers. ”
"Roy, are you kidding?"
"I'm serious."
"Squeak." Su Dong parked the car on the side of the road, he turned on his phone, and sure enough, there were two eye-catching unread emails, and when he opened them, one was from the Golden State Warriors and the other was from the Los Angeles Clippers, and they sent Roy a tryout invitation at the same time.
I'll go, Roy, do you have the power of a prophet of the unknown......
Roy doesn't have any special features, of course, but he has the "Ball King System", and just a minute ago, he received two system messages, one of which read: "Congratulations, you have completed the 'Draft intention to get four NBA teams in California at the same time', and the system will reward you with 2,000 attribute points".
The other is "Third-generation football champion Michael Jordan asks to connect with you." ”
What does this second message mean? Requesting a connection? With what to connect? Basketball?
It's basketball.
When he got home, Roy went straight to his room and picked up his basketball.
Then, he came to the familiar "Jordan Training Camp".
"Hey, Roy, you're here." Jordan greeted Roy while playing with the shot.
"Hey, God Jordan, long time no see." Roy greeted politely. ”
"Just call me Michael, it's closer." After Jordan finished speaking, he stopped shooting, wiped his oily bald head, and handed Roy a bottle of drink.
"Drink this, he can help you regain your strength."
Joe ...... Michael, did you summon me just to give me a drink? Roy blinked, he could roughly guess a little.
At this point in time, Jordan summoned himself with three possibilities, one is to congratulate himself on winning the championship and MVP of the California Championship as an elder, the second is to make an idea as a player and make moves with him, and the third is to recruit himself as the owner of the Charlotte Hornets.
Jordan's purpose was obviously the third one, and his opening to the point surprised Roy a little.
"Roy, we're all special kind of players, so I'm going to be straight to say, I'm the owner of the Charlotte Hornets right now, and I'm in dire need of a future superstar who can lead the team to glory, and you're obviously the best candidate."
"As long as you're not as depraved as Derrick Ross." This is the mental conversation that Jordan omitted.
In fact, Roy also understands that Jordan will inevitably come to him, if the general managers and owners of other NBA teams do not know Roy's potential now, or only fancy Roy's commercial value, then Jordan, Abdul-Jabbar, and Rose are the only three people who know Roy's true value.
And Jordan, as the owner of the Charlotte Hornets, must be the first to strike.
"Michael, thank you for your kindness, I guess that's the case." Roy's attitude towards this basketball god has always been very sincere, and it is an honor for him to be favored by Jordan.
However, Jordan is not so honest, he is the owner of a team after all, and he has to think about the team everywhere, and he immediately tested Roy's tone.
"Roy, I guess no NBA team has officially invited you to a tryout, right?" This is Jordan's speculation, he is far away in the East, but he is often concerned about Roy's dynamics, including the previous rivalry with Lonzo Ball, the war of words with Ball Sr., and the recent championship with perverted statistics, which he knows quite well.
But he still doesn't believe that any NBA team will immediately make an overture to Roy, who is just a high school star from China, and his status in the eyes of insiders is still a cut compared to those famous stars in the NCAA and foreign leagues.
Although Roy was a little unhappy with Jordan's contempt, he still spoke respectfully, "Michael, as an old friend, then I also have something to say, now there are six teams inviting me to try out with a disability, what sign are you willing to use to choose me?" ”
Oh? Jordan paused, and Roy said this with confidence, as if the other twenty-nine teams in the NBA had already promised to pick him.
It's just a tryout for six teams, what a boy who doesn't know the sky, Jordan scolded secretly.
This time his answer was honest, "If nothing else, I'll use the second-round picks to select you." ”
"You're not going to be drafted in the first round anyway." This is Jordan's subtext, and it is also the unanimous conclusion that he and the scouting team have come to in discussions that according to Roy's current market, it is already quite good to be selected in the second round, and even if someone picks him out early, it will not cost much to replace him, so there is no need to waste a first-round pick.
Roy had roughly guessed something from Jordan's eyes, and his answer was still stiff.
"Michael, it's unclear how many teams will choose me, but I'm sure I'm not going to be on the second round list."
This...... Jordan was completely confused, where did Roy's obsessive confidence come from......
