Chapter 12: To Chicago
Hearing Yuan Shu's invitation, Becker's psychology instantly stirred. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Ian Becker, born in the financial family Becker family, Becker has an older brother and an older sister in the family, Becker himself is the youngest brother in the family, because the family is a trustee of the University of Miami, plus family tradition, so all three Becker brothers and sisters are studying at the University of Miami.
Becker's older brother has been working on Wall Street since graduating from college seven years ago and is now a well-known investment consultant for a well-known international financial firm. Becker's sister joined Deloitte, a well-known accounting firm in the United States, after graduating five years ago, and with diligence and hard work, she was exceptionally promoted to middle management before the age of 30. Therefore, for Ian Becker, the pressure on him is undoubtedly very high, although he studies hard, but even if he graduates with the first overall score in finance at the University of Miami, he may not be able to surpass his brother and sister.
"Ian, your brother and sister are so promising, they will follow them after graduation!" It was what Ian's relatives said most often when confronted by Becker.
Becker seemed to have made up his mind in his heart and said: "Yuan, if you succeed in applying for the NBA, I am willing to follow you and use my professional knowledge to be your economic man." ”
"Okay, then we're done!" Yuan Shu's heart was overjoyed, but he didn't expect that it would take no effort to find a broker, and the task of finding a broker would be unexpectedly smooth!
Originally, Becker planned to send Yuan Shu to the airport and go back, but under Yuan Shu's persuasion and having agreed to be Yuan Shu's agent, Becker simply made up his mind and bought a ticket to Chicago with Yuan Shu. In Becker's heart, as an agent, accompanying Yuan Shu to the trial center is just an excuse, in fact, the real reason is to witness with his own eyes how this big teammate in front of him, who has been on the cold bench for two years, created a miracle and was selected by the NBA team!
The day after arriving in Chicago, the two got up early to catch the bus. There is no way, because the expenses originally calculated by Becker were for Yuan Shu's consumption alone, and now he has temporarily followed, so the money can naturally be saved.
According to the schedule of the Chicago joint tryout, Yuan Shu and Becker must arrive at the training center by 10 a.m. to receive a side, after which a small match will be arranged to observe the players.
The buses in the United States are not as perverted as the morning rush hour in the imperial capital of China, and when Yuan Shu rushed on the bus, there were still many vacant seats on the bus, but when Yuan Shu glanced at the carriage, he immediately sat next to a blonde beauty wearing a miniskirt and revealing her snow-white long legs. Becker, who followed Yuan Shu into the car, sat in the vacant seat behind Yuan Shu.
The beauty seemed to be a little disgusted with Yuan Shu, and when Yuan Shu was sitting beside her, she squeezed hard into the seat, and twisted her head to the other side to look out the window, making Yuan Shu a little embarrassed.
"Hi buddy, your stuff is missing, is this Chicago tryout request form yours?" As soon as a black young man got into the car, he asked Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu looked down and saw that the application form that was originally in his pocket was gone, and it seemed that he accidentally dropped it when he got into the car just now.
"yes, buddy, this application form is mine, thank you so much." Yuan Shu hurriedly stood up and took the application form in his hand.
The door closed and the bus started to start, but the black young man who picked up the things did not find a seat in the back to sit down, but stood next to Yuan Shu and hesitated, and asked in a low voice: "Hey, buddy, it looks like you are a basketball player, and now you are going to participate in the NBA joint tryout?" ”
As the black young man asked, the originally noisy carriage instantly fell silent, and everyone focused on Yuan Shu and the black young man.
I didn't expect the local joint trial in Chicago to be so famous, it seems that everyone who takes the bus knows it, Yuan Shu nodded hurriedly and replied: "Yes, I am a player on the University of Miami basketball team, and I am going to participate in the draft trial today." ”
Hearing Yuan Shu's affirmative answer, the black young man showed a look of surprise and asked, "Wow, buddy, that's so cool!" I heard that the salary of NBA players is not low, can be more than 100,000 dollars a year, right? ”
Hearing the words of the black young man, Yuan Shu seemed to feel that a carload of people were all looking at him, and even the beautiful women who disliked him just now seemed to have their ears pricked up.
Yuan Shu snorted and said, "The NBA minimum wage is probably around one million US dollars." ”
"Wow~~" After listening to Yuan Shu's answer, the carriage instantly erupted into bursts of exclamations, and the black young man standing in front of Yuan Shu made a surprised and exaggerated expression unique to black people, and looked at Yuan Shu with wide eyes, and a white child who was still crying in his mother's arms just now also closed his mouth quietly, and looked curiously at the passengers around him who made exclamations at the same time, with tears in his eyes.
The salary figure in Yuan Shu's mouth simply stunned the passengers in the car! Yuan Shu suddenly felt that the beauty beside him seemed to take the initiative to lean towards him, and rubbed himself with her thighs intentionally or unintentionally.
"Hey, buddy, you're really good, can you get it?" The black youth seemed very interested in Yuan Shu's tryout.
"Of course." Yuan Shu replied without hesitation, just kidding, I am a systematic person, and after speaking, he pointed at Becker, who was sitting behind him, "I even brought an agent, and I am determined to win the draft!" ”
"It's amazing!" Yuan Shu's tall image at the moment made the black youth can't help but give a thumbs up! It was only at this moment that the black youth began to walk to the back of the car, looking for his seat.
"Honey, I was wrong, you can play basketball if you want to play basketball in the future, and your mother will never stop you again." A young Jewish mother, who had been counting her children for fun, had been sitting in the back of the car, and took the initiative to admit her mistake to her children.
"Great! I want to learn from this brother, I must practice hard, and strive to enter the NBA in the future! After swearing to his mother with a basketball in his arms, a mischievous Jewish boy looked at Yuan Shu sitting in the front of the carriage with adoring eyes.
Yuan Shu stood up from his position, walked to the little boy's side in the beautiful woman's somewhat affectionate gaze, patted the little boy's shoulder like a friend, and said sincerely: "Man, as long as you have a heart that loves basketball and work hard, your goal will definitely be achieved!" ”
The little boy nodded excitedly. There was a round of applause in the carriage!
When getting out of the car, Yuan Shu avoided the eager gaze of the beautiful woman and walked towards the joint trial center with Becker.
"Phew, gold worshipper!" Yuan Shu scolded in his heart.
After a while, the two came to the door of the Chicago United Trial Center, and after reading Yuan Shu's application form, the doorman pointed to Becker behind Yuan Shu and asked who he was.
When Yuan Shu replied that Becker was his agent, the doorman in charge of the inspection couldn't help laughing, saying that a young man named John Wall just past, when he was in college, was the Southeast Conference Player of the Year, the winner of the Oscar Robertson Award, the John Wooden Award, the Bob Cousey Award, and the Adolf All-American Player of the Year Award, and was selected for the All-America First Team, and was named the best player of the year and the All-America Rookie of the Year by Yahoo and competitor websites, so that such a player has the privilege of bringing his agent in.
Then the doorman pointed to the "honor" column on Yuan Shu's application form, which was empty, and said contemptuously: "Even a player like you also wants to bring an agent in?" ”
After listening to the doorman's words, Yuan Shu, who was a little angry, did not show anger, but smiled and said to the doorman with an arrogant expression: "Actually, I have a lot of honors, but the space left in this application form is too small, and it is not enough for me to write." Listen to me! ”
After speaking, Yuan Shu, who is the best debater in the university, thoroughly showed his eloquence, and said in a fast and serious tone: "I am the best debater of Imperial Capital University, a senior knight of young and ignorant women, a messenger of peace and justice, and one of the top ten outstanding young people in Chinatown. ”
Under the shocked expression of the doorman, Yuan Shu walked into the door of the Chicago United Trial Center with Becker with his head held high!
