Chapter 171: The Verus Brothers
Yan Yufeng looked at the people in this car helplessly, he really felt a little regretful, the secret is like an infectious disease, you infect one, it means that a group of people may be .lā And now it is like this, when Lin Na told her best friend that she would watch a game later, the best friend who was a little tired was not very enthusiastic, and when she heard that it was the game of the handsome Asian guy in front of her, she began to be interested again, especially knowing that Wei Ning, who was definitely at the UFC level, was also going to participate in the game, this interest was completely ignited. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
By the way, Marrod, Zhang Pei, and Hannold also coaxed to see how Yan Yufeng played, and this time, the team of eight people occupied the area at the back door of the bus, chattering and talking freely.
Everyone predicted that Yan Yufeng would be able to score a few points today, every time he said a number, he had to confirm with him sitting in the back row, Yan Yufeng refused to participate expressionlessly, but Zhang Pei Hannold was not tired of it, and finally, Zhang Pei took out the rhythm and took out $20 as a dealer to let everyone guess together, Marrod blindly coaxed out a hundred dollars to bet that Yan Yufeng could take about 30 points, but Zhang Pei thought it was high, 20 points fluctuated up and down by 5 points, and Lin Na was full of interest to take out 1,000 dollars to bet that he could get 40 points, such a move stunned the audience, and Hannold and others realized that this beautiful girl like a supermodel seems to be a rich second generation in the United States.
Before the car arrived, Zhang Pei was the banker's gamble, and the cumulative amount had reached 2,000 US dollars, which was undoubtedly a large amount of money for their age. As a banker, Zhang Pei looked at this stack of green banknotes, and suddenly the psychological pressure was huge, he began to regret it, and glanced at Yan Yufeng, who did not participate in the bet.
Yan Yufeng naturally didn't give this good look at this goods, pretended to close his eyes, and ruthlessly rejected Zhang Pei's attempt to cancel the gambling game.
Wei Ning also did not participate in the gambling game, the reason is very simple, he is penniless, and he still came to school today and ran over. He watched this scene happily, but he was thinking in his heart, if Yan Yufeng played seriously today, I am afraid that fifty points would be no problem, as the only one who had seen and fought against him, Wei Ning knew very well how terrifying Yan Yufeng's scoring ability was.
"Anne, Vacgio, you two have to keep an eye on this person, don't let him run away with the money, the more I look at him, the more unreliable he becomes." Lin Na looked at Zhang Pei, who was a little restless, and said jokingly.
"How is it possible, I Zhang Pei will not change my surname, I will not change my name, I am a tough guy by nature, this little money is just my pocket money." Zhang Pei was anxious, he cheered up and patted his chest to reassure.
"A year's pocket money?" Hannold asked, which made Zhang Pei blush.
In the midst of laughter, the bus arrived, and when he got off, Wei Ning walked to Yan Yufeng's side and asked in a low voice, "What are you going to do?" ”
Yan Yufeng glanced at Wei Ning strangely and said, "What should I do?" Competitions? ”
"What do you say?" Wei Ning asked rhetorically.
Yan Yufeng didn't think about it, and said, "I'll fight when I get on the field, what do you want to do so much?" Look at the opponent. ”
Wei Ning understood the meaning, but said: "With such a large sum of money, don't you care at all?" ”
Yan Yufeng smiled: "Do you care?" ”
"Of course I don't, and I don't."
"I hate all gambling!"
"Well, when I didn't say anything." Wei Ning was speechless, and added a sentence after that: "Do you think I need to play?" ”
Yan Yufeng groaned and said: "You have little experience in the game, one more game is a game, if the opponent is very weak, you will do it, of course, if you are very strong, you don't want to die, if you are injured, there is no insurance reimbursement." ”
Wei Ning pursed his lips and muttered, "Looking down on people, do you think I might be hurt?" ”
Yan Yufeng didn't talk anymore, and it was better to say less before the game about such a thing as an injury. The two walked at the end, crossed the small hill, and the two couldn't help but be surprised when they looked at it. At this time, the Maple Bay Stadium has changed from the cold situation in the past, and it can be described as a crowd of people, with men, women and children.
Yan Yufeng roughly estimated that there were at least more than 300 people around this small court, and the stands could not accommodate it at all, and more people were actually standing there on the inside and outside floors.
Looking at the screen of his mobile phone, there was still half an hour before the game, Yan Yufeng was secretly surprised, he didn't expect that an ordinary community competition would attract so many people to watch the game.
Yan Yufeng and his entourage didn't attract attention at all, and the crowd took the court as the center point, and surrounded it. Marold and the others became excited, hula and squeezed inside, but Lin Na looked at Yan Yufeng, her eyebrows expressive, obviously waiting for Yan Yufeng to make a decision.
Yan Yufeng said to Wei Ning: "You open the way." ”
Wei Ning was dissatisfied and said, "What do you think of me?" But he still obeyed Yan Yufeng's meaning, he led the way in front, Yan Yufeng and Lin Na followed behind, there were still too many people, as if several times, Yan Yufeng almost couldn't see Lin Na's figure, and suddenly a hand handed it over and gently pulled Yan Yufeng's arm.
Yan Yufeng turned his head, but across a person, he saw Lin Na's delicate face. A middle-aged man with gold-wire glasses, with a long iron frame between his armpits, broke out from the side, just Lin Na grabbed Yan Yufeng's hand and blocked his way, looking at the slender iron frame, Yan Yufeng didn't think about it at the time, as soon as his right hand turned his wrist, he pulled Lin Na's hand to his side, avoided the man, and then whispered: "Follow me." ”
So Yan Yufeng pulled Lin Na and walked through the crowd. The surrounding noise was abnormal, but in such a noisy environment, Yan Yufeng clearly felt the warm and slender hand in his hand.
It seemed that Lin Na's wheezing sound could be heard, and in the mixed smell, the smell of her jasmine perfume was exceptionally clear into the nose, Yan Yufeng closed his breath and didn't breathe, but he still felt that he had accidentally sniffed a few sips.
In that state of mind of wanting to make mistakes, Yan Yufeng suddenly felt empty in front of him, and when he looked at it, he realized that the two of them had come to the court. And Wei Ning, who was one step ahead of the predicament, looked at Lin Na who was pulled out of the crowd by Yan Yufeng in surprise.
Yan Yufeng immediately let go of his hand and said to Lin Na: "I'm sorry, there were too many people just now, I didn't mean to." ”
Lin Na replied calmly, "Thank you!" ”
Yan Yufeng nodded, and suddenly felt that he couldn't go on, and suddenly a person jumped out and shouted, "Hey, Yan, you're finally here." ”
It is Alel Jimmy, he is wearing an unusually gorgeous dress today, and the gorgeousness here refers to the clothes, I saw Jimmy coming home from the beginning, wearing a protective gear, wearing a black headband on his head, his arms are full arm back guards, his fingers are finger guards, and his legs are tied with knee pads, and a pair of bright red and white Joe 6 is dazzlingly worn on his feet, and Yan Yufeng's eyes are a little hot.
Alel Jimmy seemed excited, he clearly regarded the day as a party of his own, warmly greeting everyone who walked by him, even if some of his acquaintances were standing in the distance, he would jump up and shout if he saw him.
Yan Yufeng originally wanted to ask how to play the game later, but it can be seen that he is like this, and it is estimated that he didn't take the victory or defeat seriously at all, so he had to find others to try to ask.
I happened to see the white Rory coming over, and he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Rory, how will you arrange the people to play later?" Also, with whom? How's the strength? ”
Rory was first startled by Yan Yufeng who suddenly jumped out, and then reacted, after hearing the question, he smiled and said: "There is no arrangement, whoever wants to play, this depends on the willingness." Fight with whom? It seems to be a team called the Verus community, what is the level? I don't know. Hey, don't take it too seriously, today is a community gathering, take it easy. ”
Yan Yufeng had to stop asking, it seemed that Rory thought he was too nervous, and if he continued to ask, he might have a deeper misunderstanding, so he gave up the pre-game intelligence understanding and began to ask questions about the seat: "Where will we sit later?" Also, I brought some friends from school, is there still a place? ”
Looking around, Yan Yufeng was a little worried, but Rory said with a relaxed face: "Of course there is, we will be on this side later, set as our home bench, we brought a lot of folding stools, enough, Nuo, you see, it's there." As he spoke, Yan Yufeng looked down, and sure enough, he saw that on the edge of the stands, there was a large stack of stools, and the black boy Derek was guarding there like a pitbull, and anyone who tried to take a stool was pushed away by him.
"What about the rest?" Yan Yufeng found out that until now, he only saw the three of them, and the others were still nowhere to be found. As soon as the words came out, this time, Rory showed an embarrassed expression.
He replied with a stammer: "Honestly, I don't seem to see them." ”
"What do you mean?" Yan Yufeng was taken aback.
Looking at Yan Yufeng, Rory tried his best to make himself look good, and said confidently: "Maybe when the game starts, there will be just five of us." ”
"What about the others?" Yan Yufeng suddenly became anxious.
"Maybe they will come soon, you don't have to worry, it's really not possible, we are looking for someone on the spot temporarily, don't worry, there are enough people." Rory began to feel really confident as he spoke, and he glanced around, the scene of this crowd made him extremely satisfied with his urgency.
Yan Yufeng had no choice but to give up, and then laughed self-deprecatingly, this is actually a big party, why do you have to be so serious? It's okay in the bottom of my heart, I really want to fight seriously.
It seems that he was still stimulated by the afternoon ball game and the ignorance of Tennison and others.
Thinking of this, he was a little discouraged and discouraged, and said to Lin Na, who was standing a few steps away: "Come, I'll take you to find a seat." With that, he walked over to Derek.
Soon, the cheering group from the Crusz High School took their seats, and Derek was a little indignant, watching his hard-working chair sit on like this, but when one of the hot girls greeted him, his face was full of joy, and he immediately leaned over to talk enthusiastically.
And just when everyone was still frolicking for the upcoming game, on the road less than a few kilometers away from the Maple Bay Stadium, three people who drove over were approaching here step by step.
The driver was a middle-aged white man, with a shiny three-and-seven hair, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and his eyes were in great spirits.
He said to the white boy sitting in the passenger seat, "I've heard some bad news lately, Reed, are you messing with Gates and the others again?" You ...... at the beginning. ”
The white boy known as Reed looked irritated, he rudely interrupted his speech, and said indignantly: "Who am I friends with and need you to supervise the code?" Listen, you're not my agent yet, friend! ”
Sitting in the back seat, the slightly younger white teenager hurriedly interjected and reminded: "Brother, Mies, he is an alumnus of my father and our elder, you can't talk like that." ”
Reid became even more irritable, he waved his hand to signal his brother not to interject, and continued to say to Meate: "I know you are worried about my studies, but Gate, he is my brother, we grew up in a community, he is not as bad as you think, now that he has a proper job, I will not leave him." ”
Meate wasn't annoyed by Reed's attitude, he shrugged his shoulders and said in a witty tone, "Restaurant delivery person, do you think this is a decent job?" I've been to find out, he's about to be fired by his boss, he doesn't say goodbye every once in a while, doesn't answer the phone, and often argues with customers, such a restless element, what do you think you can get by playing with him? ”
"What do you get? Why do you always feel like you have something to gain from friends? Hehe....... Reed shook his head with disdain, he stopped talking, turned his head to look out the window, and for a moment, the car fell silent.
Gao De in the back seat looked at the two uneasily, one was his brother, the other was an economic man who was about to become him, and he was also a close friend of his parents. They always have endless things to quarrel about, and the reason for this, Gao De actually knows very well in his heart, his brother is a college student, and he is also a member of the University of Kentucky Wildcats team in the NCAA Southeastern Conference.
Since entering the Wildcats rotation, as a freshman, he has gained a lot of attention, and his brother's life has changed dramatically, he used to see him every week, and now, today is the second time he has seen his brother this year.
Meese is planning his brother's future career path and dreaming of entering the NBA, so, in life, Meese is much stricter than his brother was in high school, and in his brother's words, it's like a different person.
From the moment they got into the car, the two were arguing, and Gao De felt uncomfortable, and he felt that it was really a bad decision to let them go to the community game together today.
Meese looked through the rear mirror and saw Gaude's uneasy expression, and he sighed secretly in his heart. When Mees was young, he was a stock trader, but after several financial crises, he felt that this industry was too risky, so he decided to change careers, he joined a general sports broker company, and through five years of work experience, he deeply felt that as a broker, he would never be able to do well without working alone.
After all considerations, Meese decided to become a professional basketball agent, and he began to work tirelessly, traveling all over the country, but soon, he discovered the secret.
If you are not an agent with NBA players in your hands, then the so-called basketball agent is not as dignified and status as a courier.
He began to develop in this direction, but you must know that the NBA league has only 600 players at full capacity, and the number of existing NBA economists has reached 1,500, which means that there are many NBA players who have left the NBA for various reasons, just like hyenas on the African grasslands, staring greedily at the NBA's door with a slight slit.
The competition is so brutal and desperate!
Mees began to feel annoyed and regretful, but he didn't want to give up again, so he changed his mind, and he began to look at potential rookies like his successful predecessors, and through the draft, he qualified to enter the NBA agent.
God is generous and merciful, he found the potential high school star Reed, in him, Mees felt a glimmer of possibility to enter the NBA, and he was even more pleasantly surprised, when visiting Reed's parents, Meese was surprised to find that Reed's father was actually his friend in the same dormitory in college. After graduating and going east and west for more than 20 years, it is amazing to meet again.
Reed's father agreed to the future given by Mees, and he became Reed's hidden agent, because according to the rules of the sports league, high school and college cannot have an agent, but there are policies and countermeasures, and all potential players have one or even several hidden agents around them.
It's a well-known secret.
Living up to expectations, Reed had a great high school career, leading Verus High School to the quarterfinals of the New York State High School Spring Tournament twice in three years, and in the twelfth grade, he reached the semifinals, only to lose to Lincoln High School. Because of Reed's outstanding performance in leading the team, he received invitations from many NCAA giants. After careful selection, Reed joined the Kentucky Wildcats.
At the University of Kentucky, Reed soon became a rare tactical pawn for the Wildcats through his excellent mid-to-long-range shooting and flexible open run, and at the same time entered the rotation.
But things began to worry Mees, and like other young and promising stars, the fox friends he had met in the past flocked to him like a fishy wild cat. Meese took on the task of driving away, and like a faithful sheepdog, he forbade these unstable elements to come near the soon-to-be-ripen NBA fruit.
Most excellent people, no matter what their profession, have a strong personal character, and coupled with adolescence, Reed and Meate's relationship began to be less harmonious than in high school. And the scene that Gao De saw today was just a small episode between them.
However, it was Gao De who made Mies feel at ease, and he didn't know whether his friend was from the genes of his ancestors' generation and had excellent athletic ability, anyway, during his college years, Mies really didn't find that his friend had this talent. Although they have also played basketball together, the fathers of the brothers are really average.
Gold-Williams, who had just entered the tenth grade and was already a star player at Verus High School, first entered high school with his brother's dazzling aura and joined the varsity team, but it only took one year to become the core of the team. He has a very high ball quotient, not only inheriting his brother's excellent shooting touch, but also having playmaking skills that Reed does not have. At the age of sixteen, he had grown to six feet three, and his incredible start-up speed and skillful dribbling skills made him the offensive engine of Verus' varsity team. There is no doubt that if AutoNavi continues to develop like this, it will definitely enter the eyes of the NCAA. At that time, it will not be a so-called invitation, but the legends sent by the major giants to interview and recruit.
Because the two brothers Reed and Gaode have become famous one after another, and they both came out of the Verus community, and now some media and people habitually call them the Verus brothers.
What made Mees feel even more heartfelt was that Gao De was far less unruly than his brother, but rather gentle and upright, which was undoubtedly more favorable. From Gold's body, Mees felt even more that the door to the NBA was out of reach, opening for him.
It is precisely because of this that Mees cannot relax the supervision of Reed, which is not only his own professional cultivation, but also a good outpost battle for the invisible economic man who is about to compete for Gaode.
This time, because Gao De was absent from school for no reason and went home privately, Mith hurried to New York to deal with the problem, but met Gao De to participate in the community basketball league for his father with a recurrence of back injury.
volunteered to be the driver, Mees set off with Gaode, and before leaving, Reed was also interested, wanting to see what level his brother who had already made a name for himself was, so he also joined in.
So, when I was about to reach my destination, this scene happened in the car. Looking at the already crowded stadium, Gao De secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
In his heart, his brother is his idol, because of his brother he likes basketball, and it is also his brother who takes him to play, he doesn't want his brother and Uncle Meate to have unpleasant things happen, let alone see it with his own eyes.
After getting out of the car and looking at the extraordinarily lively court, Reed, who was in an mood at first, became happy, and he said to his younger brother: "Boy, today is a big scene, you have to behave well, I have seen a lot of girls, maybe, you will get one today." ”
Gao De seems a little shy, he is far less than his style on the court in life, he has no girlfriend so far, he is focused on his studies and basketball.
Meese took the car very well, walked over, and frowned when he heard Reed's words, he heard that Reed would change his girlfriend almost every month at school, and the current girls have almost no resistance in the face of sports tops, and they can easily get their hands on it. Reed is obviously spending too much energy in this area, and for this, Mees is also extremely troubled.
Seeing Gao De's shy expression, he felt a little relieved, patted Gao De's shoulder, and said, "Behave well, but be careful not to get hurt." ”
Gao De nodded gratefully to Meate and said, "Uncle Meate, don't worry, I play point guard, it's hard to get hurt." ”
Meate knew it was clear, and he looked up at the pitch to feel more like a party, so he asked, "Is this it?" We're not wrong. ”
Gao De pointed to a group of people in yellow and black jerseys not far away, and said, "Look, it's our Verus community jersey, that's right." Mies looked along the way, but saw a group of middle-aged people, with shy and small bellies, all looking big behind the car, changing their jerseys and wearing sneakers.
Meate was a little surprised, but soon realized that after all, this was a community league, and it was impossible to have a strong man like a serious team.
When Mees saw Gauder running over to greet his neighbors, he said to Reed, "Aren't you coming?" ”
Reed pursed his lips with an expression of interest, and instead said, "I'm going around, don't come with me, let me be quiet and quiet." ”
Mies had to stop and watch Reed slip into the crowd and disappear.
Shaking his head, Meese began to wonder if he had to record a video so that he could do an analysis, or whether he could hire a more professional coach for Gaode to conduct personal training.
After thinking about it and feeling that it was necessary, Meese turned back into the car and retrieved the DV and the triangle bracket from the trunk. Holding the DV and the stand, Mees turned around and came to the periphery of the crowd, and began to make trouble in his heart again, how to shoot this?
Lamenting that he had worked so hard, Meese forced himself into the crowd. After being scolded several times in the crowd, and almost hurting a girl, Meate came to his senses, and hurriedly put the bracket up in his arms, and after a mess, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he was lucky to walk into the court.
Meese secretly rejoiced, and began to look around for a suitable location for shooting, but saw a stout Asian teenager standing there like a bridge pier, his professional instinct suddenly attacked, Meese secretly looked at the side, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that this Asian was extraordinary, and he could feel a ferocious spirit from that spirit, and thought, if he was a basketball player, with a little training, he would probably be a big killer on the court.
Wei Ning felt that someone was secretly looking at him, so he looked sideways, and saw a middle-aged white man looking at him with a DV, so he withdrew his gaze, but Mies was startled by Wei Ning, and then he felt that his previous judgment was probably still a little wrong, and he could deter many people with bare eyes.
Let's not say what Mise was muttering, Yan Yufeng settled everyone at this time, and when he saw Wei Ning still standing stupidly, he walked straight from the court, and when he arrived, he said, "Why are you still standing here with a pestle?" Go find and change into your jersey. ”
Wei Ning was not in a hurry at all: "The jersey I can wear, I'm sure others won't take it, what are you worried about?" ”
Yan Yufeng thought that what Wei Ning said was reasonable, so he stopped urging, and suddenly felt that someone was looking at him, so he looked along with his feelings, and saw a slightly familiar middle-aged white man secretly looking here, and when he thought about it, he remembered that this was not the person who almost stabbed Lin Na just now, and his eyes suddenly became a little unfriendly.
Meate was shocked at this time, he saw an Asian teenager who was about the same height as Gao De was talking to the boy with the same body as the bear just now, at this time, the boy was still wearing a jersey, Meate understood, I am afraid that this teenager will be one of the players who are going to play the game, thinking of it, Meate can't help but think of the other one, I'm afraid it is.
Suddenly Gao De was a little worried about the competition, and at the same time, deep down, the sixth sense vaguely told himself that maybe this competition was not as simple as imagined.
But at this time, it was a little difficult to find Gaode, and Mees had to relax first and find a suitable location for filming.
The pitch grew louder and louder, and three white men dressed in black and white striped referee clothes appeared on the pitch, and one of them, a bald old man, blew a whistle in his mouth.
A shrill whistle quieted the audience a little, and the crowd of onlookers knew that the theme of the party was about to begin.
Yan Yufeng pulled Wei Ning down: "Let's go, it's time to start." ”
At the same time, Gao De, who was also on the periphery of the stadium, happened to put on his jersey and heard the whistle, so he said to his teammates and neighbors at this time: "It's going to start, let's go in." ”
Neither of them knew that the first confrontation with each other's fate came unexpectedly.
