Chapter 138 [Welcome to Join]
Wang Jun's accurate shooting, combined with his back, those amateur players in Rock Park are not his opponents.
His training has not been upgraded, and the evaluation of "school team star" is already stronger than that of ordinary street players.
He will not be full of confidence because of this, but desperately hopes to come to a few masters to abuse him, and only by playing with masters can he learn things and improve his strength.
On August 6, registration for the Rock Park Championship began, and Wang Jun's chance came.
On this day, LeBron James and the famous hip-hop singer Jay-Z teamed up and came to Rock Park.
At the same time as Wang Jun and Theron spread the scandal, James was also on the entertainment news, he has big-name celebrity friends, but the two men play together and are not as attractive as men and women in love.
Jay-Z was a top rap star recognized by all parties in the music scene, releasing an album every year from 1996 to 2003 and selling well.
The two can be said to be familiar at first sight, because they have the same experience, they were both abandoned by their fathers, and they were born in poverty with their mothers since childhood. Jay-Z is a basketball fan, and he likes James very much, and is ready to take him to New York to play a few games of streetball, increase exposure, and increase popularity.
Jay-Z is very well-connected, and after a few phone calls, Odom, Jamal Crawford, and Telfer immediately went to Rock Park to meet up and expressed their willingness to form a team.
Telfer hasn't joined the NBA yet, and he's a big player on New York Street.
This team is perhaps the strongest team in the history of Rock Park, and James is the biggest sign. The only weakness is Jay-Z.
As soon as Wang Jun saw them, he took the initiative to step forward.
If I can play with them, even as a substitute.
He mainly practiced together and learned how they played.
Wang Jun greeted the tallest Odom first, and he knew that Odom played for the Clippers last season and could play five positions, which was very comprehensive, but the team's record was a little worse.
And James was by Odom's side, and Wang Jun felt that he would definitely be able to speak.
"Hi, I'm Jun Wang. It's a pleasure to meet you, can I play with you? β
Odom: "I know you, we almost became teammates, but you were traded by the Heat, and I was teammates with another king. β
"It's a bit of a shame that you can't be on the same team, you're very strong, and you're definitely better next season than you are with the Clippers."
Odom was more concerned about gossip and asked, "I heard that you and Charlize Theron are a couple, really?" β
"We're just good friends."
Wang Jun looked at James again and said with a smile: "LeBron, we almost became teammates, but the Cavaliers didn't choose me." β
James waited until he finished talking to Odom before he spoke: "Well, I also feel sorry, if you were drafted to the Cavaliers, you would definitely not be traded, and I might be the one who won the Summer League game." β
The two shook hands amicably.
Wang Jun is a little worried that James is not easy to get along with, after all, he is the champion, the most popular, and he has signed a big contract, which is not the same level as him in all aspects.
After only a few words, Wang Jun breathed a sigh of relief.
He felt that James and Wade were the same kind of people, unscrupulous, and very mature.
In fact, James is also from the slums, young and old, and very good at life.
Summer League James didn't know Wang Jun and didn't speak.
Later, he watched the news and found that Wang Jun's exposure rate exceeded most of the first-round shows.
After a little analysis, he felt that it was advantageous to be friends with Wang Jun, for the simple reason that he was a Chinese playing in the NBA.
Last season, O'Neal and Barkley were very happy at the beginning of the game, but they were squirted out by major Chinese organizations, and they soon became honest.
The reporter asked Barkley again this summer: "What do you think of Yao Ming?" β
"I admire him, he has a great future."
Interview with O'Neal: "Do you think Yao Ming is an All-Star center?" β
"Yao is the best center after me, he's my buddy, he's great......"
James doesn't want to be sprayed by the Chinese one day, he wants to be loved by Chinese fans and attract overseas markets. Therefore, he immediately took Wang Jun by the shoulder and introduced Jay-Z to him, suggesting that he also join the team.
Jay-Z wore sunglasses and raised his head like a mob boss and asked, "Do you know who I am?" β
"I don't know." Wang Jun replied truthfully.
", it's honest, I like you, welcome to join." Jay-Z smiled and shook hands with Wang Jun.
He asked this question as a test, because he didn't believe that there were Chinese who liked his hip-hop music, and he knew best who bought his albums.
This super team of NBA players signed up for the competition and was immediately noticed by the media.
After playing in Rock Park for a while, Jay-Z invited guests to dinner at a luxury restaurant in New York, and he could bring his girlfriend, and Wang Jun was no exception.
After James called his girlfriend, he reminded Wang Jun: "If you have a friend, call me, you're welcome, otherwise he will think that you look down on him." β
"Thank you."
Wang Jun felt as if he could fit into the black world.
Although he still doesn't know Jay-Z's deeds and influence, how can someone who can be James's big brother be an idle person?
So, Wang Jun called Abby and asked her to come to dinner with JeanGeorges.
"What? Did I hear me right? How did you get into your place there? Abby asked, surprised.
Abby's immediate boss, George Whitman, and his wife once dined there, and colleagues told them that it was the best restaurant in New York, a fashion landmark in New York, and a Vanity Fair in New York.
There are two kinds of people who dine here most often, one is celebrities, such as big names like Denzel Washington and Tom Cruise; There is also a kind of businessman who has a successful career and knows how to enjoy life.
There is a saying that the way to prove the status of a New York man is to see if he needs to make an appointment to Jean Georges.
"It's not that I set the spot, it's someone who treats you."
"Charlie is coming to New York?" Abby arched her nose.
"No, it's Jay-Z." Wang Jun replied.
"Aha? When did you become friends with him? Abby's mouth widened.
Wang Jun doesn't know the details of the other party, but Abby knows that Jay-Z is a superstar and extremely influential among black people.
His girlfriend BeyoncΓ© is also a big star, a former member of the Destiny True Girl Group, and just released her solo album "Dangerous Love" in June this year after flying solo, which won the first place on the Billboard album chart, reaching 317,000 in the first week.
"It was LeBron who introduced us to each other, and we just met today." Wang Jun was surprised to see Abby, and was a little proud.
"Which LeBron?"
"It's Zhuangyuanxiu, he's next to me now." Wang Jun said with a smile.
ββ¦β¦β
Abby twisted her arm, suspecting that she had traveled to another plane.
When they went out together in the morning, Wang Jun was still a rookie with a two-year contract, why does it seem that a group of stars are revolving around him now?
After sending it for a while, Abby replied: "I'm going to get off work, I'll be there in a while." β
For her, it's also an opportunity, a great opportunity to network. If she gets to know a few celebrities, especially James, ESPN will definitely reuse her, and maybe she'll get to the top sooner.
She sighed that Wang Jun was lucky, and she also had good luck.
