Chapter 49: The Eve of the Little Green House
If people are idle for a long time, they will be annoyed, and Sun Xiaotian is no exception. During this period of recuperation, he had nothing else to do except do the necessary rehabilitation training according to the instructions of the trainer. Of course, for Sun Xiaotian, basketball is almost all he has.
Of course, there is another person in Sun Xiaotian's heart that has to be mentioned, and that is Selena. During Sun Xiaotian's recovery, as long as she was free, she would fly to see Sun Xiaotian, and even if she was usually busy with her studies, she would often make video calls with him.
With the comfort and care of his girlfriend, and the scientific rehabilitation plan of the "Heavenly Team", Sun Xiaotian's foot injury recovered much faster.
With the smooth recovery of the foot injury, Sun Xiaotian's skills were unbearable, and he only hoped that he could return to the basketball court as soon as possible. In addition to the joy brought by the recovery from a foot injury, an invitation letter from the NBA also surprised Sun Xiaotian somewhat. That's right! This invitation is the invitation of the Little Green House.
There are many players who participate in the draft, but there are not many players who can enjoy the on-site treatment of the small green house, and they are basically players who can be selected for the first round that year. Therefore, Sun Xiaotian has this qualification, and the next thing to do is to pack up and prepare to go.
------
June 29 is the date for this year's draft, and the future young talent of the NBA arena will gather to hear an old man call his name before walking up to shake his hand. Sun Xiaotian has fantasized about this shot more than once, and now it is about to come true.
In accordance with Dan. Fagan and Song Qian's plan, Sun Xiaotian and his entourage arrived in the Big Apple City a week in advance, because Sun Xiaotian would have a lot of work to do there.
"If you want to play in the United States, you have to cooperate with the media. It can both make you a superstar and throw you to the ground. "This is Dan. Fagan's advice.
In the past few days in New York, Sun Xiaotian has not remembered how many media interviews he has accepted. Endless problems, endless difficulties. Although there is a lot of media, the questions are basically around "You are called Jeremy Lin second, what do you think?" "Which team do you aspire to be picked off?" "......, there's no way, it's one of the most commercial leagues in the world.
In addition to being interviewed, Sun Xiaotian in Dan. Under Fagan's arrangement, he also contacted some sports goods production giants, such as Nike, Adi and the like. Right! You heard it right, this is not King Adi!
At this time of year, while the players are busy, some manufacturers are also busy. They are in business, and they need to select some players who can have good market appeal among this group of young talents, and Sun Xiaotian is what they are eager to sign in, if nothing else, for the market of more than one billion people behind him.
When Yao Ming first came to the NBA, giants such as Nike and Adi did not seize the opportunity and let Reebok take advantage of the loophole, and until now they are still bleeding from the nose!
In short, the few days of travel made Sun Xiaotian tired and wanted to vomit blood, and he felt really tired from playing for the first time! However, he must get used to it as soon as possible, these are just appetizers after all, and if he becomes a superstar one day, then the burden on his shoulders will be heavier.
……
But fortunately, the past few days that Sun Xiaotian was extremely uncomfortable with have finally passed. Back in the hotel room, Sun Xiaotian quickly took off the suit on his body, and the whole person fell on the bed like a zombie. I knew that it was so tiring to participate in a broken draft, so I wouldn't come.
Of course, it's just talking. However, it is no wonder that Sun Xiaotian, for a young man who is only 19 years old, this kind of formation has never been touched before.
Even though it was the evening of June 28, Sun Xiaotian only got a brief break, and he was going to the last event before the draft, a dinner to be exact, where all the players in the Little Green House would be present.
There was no way, under the urging of Song Qian, Sun Xiaotian had to get up again and put on his suit again.
By the time Sun Xiaotian walked into the scene, many players had already arrived. Sun Xiaotian looked at their outfits, then at himself, and laughed with a "poof". I'm usually used to wearing a jersey, and when I suddenly wear a formal suit, how to look at it is an eyesore.
"Hello! Are you Sun? Suddenly, someone called Sun Xiaotian behind him, Sun Xiaotian hurriedly turned around, and saw an elderly person standing in front of Sun Xiaotian.
This person is wearing an orange suit, how strange it looks. But looking at this person's face again, Sun Xiaotian only felt familiar.
"My name is Craig Sager and I'm a basketball reporter." The man said.
No wonder the familiar and famous Craig Sager dares to say that there is no NBA player who does not know him. Usually interviews are known for his flamboyant attire, so I think he is dressed appropriately today.
"Can you give me an interview?" Craig Sagar said.
Sun Xiaotian originally wanted to happily agree, after all, he was such a well-known reporter. But suddenly she thought of Dan again. Fagan's advice is to ask your agent who you are interviewing with.
Just at this time Dan. Fagan appeared in front of him in time, and Sun Xiaotian hurriedly glanced at him.
"How's it going, old man?" Cinnabar. Fagan hurried to greet Craig Sager.
"I just heard that Sun Xuan was his agent before, but I still don't believe it!" Craig Sagar also said with a smile.
"No kidding, no one is as well-informed as you."
"Would you like to hear some gossip?"
"What's the news?" Cinnabar. Fagan said with a smile.
"I heard that the Bucks are also playing this Chinese's attention!"
Cinnabar. Fagan's brows tightened instantly, what a pot can't be opened! Could it be that the Bucks are deliberately working against themselves?
After Sun Xiaotian heard the news on the side, he was also surprised, he was not willing to go to that cold place.
"Sun, since such a big-name reporter wants to interview you, what are you waiting for? Go with him! He won't embarrass you. "Dan. Fagan glanced at Sun Xiao's angel.
"Oh... Oh! I know. ”
At this time, Song Qian on the side said, "Will they do this?" ”
"I don't care if it's true or not, Sun won't be in Milwaukee. I'll leave it to you first! "After saying that, Dan. Fagan got in the car and left.
It wasn't until the next morning that Song Qian received Dan. Fagan's phone, Dan. Fagan only said one word. "It's done, let Sun rest assured! I'm waiting for you here at the Little Green House. ”
When Song Qian heard this, he let out a sigh of relief and told Sun Xiaotian to reassure him.
"Great, let's get over there!" Sun Xiaotian said.
"No hurry! We have a few people to wait. ”
"Who else!" Sun Xiaotian asked.
In a few moments there was a knock on their door.
"They're coming!" Song Qian said with a smile.
After opening the door, Sun Xiaotian was taken aback, only to see a girl suddenly hugging his neck. When I looked at it myself, it turned out to be Selena.
"Didn't you say you couldn't come?" Sun Xiaotian asked.
"A surprise for you?" Selena said with a smile.
Sun Xiaotian looked at him by himself, today's Selena is really beautiful.
"Hello! We meet again. "At this time, someone spoke again.
Sun Xiaotian hurriedly looked, it turned out that Xu Jicheng and Xu Gui were also standing outside the door, and there was also Qiu Jinsheng from the Basketball Association.
"Pick a show! Even you are alarmed, and I have caused you trouble! Sun Xiaotian grinned.
"It's not just us, it's fans all over the country who are paying attention!" Qiu Jinsheng said with a smile.
Song Qian looked at his watch and said, "Let's go!" We talk as we go. ”
The group got into the car, and the car drove towards the Madison Square Garden Arena.
