Chapter VII Official Announcement

I can't help it, but I still sent another chapter, asking for recommendations, collections, and rewards!

On May 13, 1996, in Terre Haute, Indiana, Jonny's high school alma mater was located here, North Lawrence High School. At the same time, Indiana State University is also located in this small town.

Jonny flew from Knoxville to Indianapolis and then took the bus to the town, and the first thing he did when he got off the bus was to call Jimmy Adams. Jimmy Adams is a native of Trehot, and he also owns a small car.

Soon, Jimmy Adams was in front of Johnny in his somewhat worn classic car.

"Hello, Jonny, welcome back!"

"Hey, buddy, don't laugh so ugly, tell me you invited a few reporters." Jonny threw his luggage out of the back seat of the car, then sat down in the passenger seat, and then looked at Jimmy Adams, who realized that Jimmy Adams was looking at Jonny with his mean smile.

"Alright, alright, Jonny, let's not talk about the NBA yet, or let's go to Indiana State University first, Joe. Coach Hal is also interested in you! The last time Jimmy Adams angrily agreed to Jonny's decision to go directly to the NBA, it didn't take long for Jimmy Adams to regret it.

Who are the high school students who announced that they would go directly to the NBA? Kevin Garnett, as well as high school seniors who have already announced their participation in the NBA Draft this year, Jermaine O'Neal, Kobe Bryant and Taki McDavi. Kobe Bryant is the No. 1 high school player in the nation this year, Jermaine O'Neal is a member of the No. 1 team of high school seniors in the country, Taki Mike Davey is the No. 1 high school player in North Carolina, and what about Jonny? Indiana Sixth High School Student......

If it is placed in the United States, Jonny is estimated not to even rank in the top 50, let alone directly participate in the NBA draft, and then be selected in the top 60. So, after thinking about it carefully, Jimmy Adams still felt that Jonny should not go directly to the NBA draft.

"Jimmy, don't want it."

"It's okay, Jonny, just go check it out." Jimmy Adams immediately interrupted Jonny, and then sped off to Indiana State University.

In the history of the NCAA, Indiana State University was just a minor player, and under normal circumstances, they could only be counted as second-rate schools. And this second-rate school has had two legends, one is Larry Bird, and the unexpected appearance of Big Bird allowed Indiana to reach the NCAA finals once. The other is Indiana State University, where legendary NCAA coach John Wooden began.

However, the current INSU can't even get into the NCAA Division I League, which is why Jonny didn't strongly refuse to go to ICU, he knows that even if he agrees to go to school at ICU, Jimmy Adams won't agree, Jonny just needs to hear the word Wake Forest and immediately say no, that's it.

Arriving at Indo, Jonny sees two people in the arena, one tall and blond, and the other full of white hair. When Jimmy Adams saw the tall blond man, he froze instantly.

"Hey, buddy, what's wrong?"

"Larry...... Bird ......" Jimmy Adams muttered, and he froze, as if he had completely lost the ability to think and react.

Five minutes later, Jimmy Adams was back to normal, and he started chatting happily with his old coach, Hal.

"Coach Hal, why did you bring this great god here?" Jimmy Adams asked quietly.

"Alas, it's been a long time since Indo-State University has risen, and we're just a small team in the second tier now, and we can't compare to the teams in Wake Forest, so I can only call Larry over. I hope you can see Larry's face and give preference to India. Hal said helplessly.

"Who is he, why should I look at his face." At this moment, an abrupt voice came. Jimmy Adams was stunned again, and Coach Howl's eyes widened, looking at the master who said this sentence a little speechlessly.

Larry Bird, on the other hand, just frowned and didn't say anything.

"Jimmy, stop talking nonsense, you knew I was going straight to the NBA!" Jonny ignored it and told the truth, he didn't know the so-called Larry Bird, but he had heard the name. But Jonny was a little worried, he looked at Jimmy Adams' expression just now, this Larry Bird should be some kind of amazing character, he was afraid that Jimmy Adams would sell him because of this Larry Bird.

Hearing Jonny's words, the old handsome Hal also frowned, and he looked at Jimmy Adams with a questioning expression.

"Coach Hall, I'm sorry, actually Jonny wants to go straight into the NBA, so I brought him here this time just to persuade him, but I didn't expect it," Jimmy Adams explained with a red face, he was a little embarrassed.

Soon, Jonny and Jimmy Adams left Indiana State University, Jimmy Adams almost went all the way to count Jonny all the way, and along the way, Jonny also knew the identity of Larry Bird, and Jonny knew James and Kobe, Larry Bird is a generation of NBA stars that children like and love very much in 96.

Fortunately, Jonny used to be a Chinese who didn't know anything, didn't know anything about the NBA, and didn't listen to anything outside the window, otherwise the current Jonny might really be exposed.

Back at his alma mater, North Lawrence High School, Jonny felt a familiar feeling, he had lived here for 4 years, because of the early death of his parents, he had to choose to come here and receive a high basketball scholarship to continue his life. And this school, which gave him a new life, has long been imprinted in his heart.

Although he was only the second owner of this body, Jonny Lee was still a little emotional when he saw his alma mater again, and walked all the way to the basketball hall and greeted his acquaintances in the school all the way.

"Wow, the senior is back! Let's have dinner later! ”

"Wow, that's handsome, Senior Johnny and Senior Jimmy Adams!"

"Senior Jonny, teach me to shoot three points!"

There was an exclamation all around, which made Jonny suddenly feel satisfied, it seems that this body is still very popular, Jonny Lee likes this feeling a little, in his previous life, he was just an otaku, a **silk, and he has never had this kind of treatment at all.

On his third day back at his alma mater, Jonny hosted an announcement ceremony for his participation in the NBA draft at his alma mater's basketball hall.

The deadline for registration for the NBA draft is May 20, so Jonny is just in time to sign up now, but at this time, Jonny is in a state of consternation.

"Jimmy, you're getting so many reporters?!" He looked incredulous, as if something earth-shattering had happened in front of him.

In fact, there were only three people in front of him, a total of two media outlets.

Jimmy Adams scratched his head embarrassedly: "Jonny, listen to me, I've called a lot of newspapers, and when they heard that a high school student wanted to go straight to the NBA draft, they were all very surprised and asked, 'Wow, who's who?' Then, when they heard it was Indiana No. 6 high school students, almost everyone hung up. ”

Jonny was helpless, and he could only say something in front of these two media that made Jonny feel uneventful: "I announce, I'm Jonny Lee, officially participating in the NBA draft!" ”

And the two media that came to participate in the ceremony that day, one was the local Indiana media, and they only came with one person, holding a notebook and a pen, and the other was much more professional, NBA-draft reporter, Jovarden, with his cameraman, interviewed Jonny Lee.

Countless years later, when Jovarden looks back on what it all did, he laughs, "It was hilarious, he looked serious, as if there were thousands of people in front of him, but in fact, including his agent, there were only four people in total." But no one expected him to achieve such an achievement! ”

And the photograph taken by the videographer who went with Jovarden has long since become a treasure.
