Chapter Seventy-Seven: Returning Home

Li Chenglong, who was outside the crack in the door, saw Pat Riley walking towards the door, and quickly retreated to the side. At this time, his heart was already full of shock, he didn't expect Barbara, a young girl, to defeat the old fox Mac Dunleavy in this way.

She actually won a landslide?

Li Chenglong was completely incredible, but at this time, McDonleavy had already opened the door and walked out of it, and after nodding to the chic smile on the sofa, he walked to the office over there to ask the staff to change the contract.

"Hey, Old Xiao, do you know how Barbara subdued Dunleavy in there just now?" Li Chenglong leaned in front of Xiao Sao and asked in a low voice.

His voice could be muffled, but he couldn't hide the excitement on his face.

But Xiao Sao was not interested in this at all, he stretched his waist and changed his posture: "I didn't peek, how do I know?" ”

"Do you know the thirteenth sister of Hongxing?" Li Chenglong rubbed his palms and said excitedly: "Barbara's aura exploded just now, and she almost didn't come out with a machete." It's more touching than the gangster negotiation in the TV series!! ”

"Oh." Xiao Sao raised his eyebrows, he didn't bother to pay attention to this issue.

The day before yesterday, the Chinese men's basketball team sent a call-up to Xiao Dash and asked him to hurry back to China to participate in joint training.

This news was actually entrusted by the Chinese men's basketball team to the editor-in-chief of the basketball former Guardian newspaper, Yan Ming, to convey Li Chenglong and then convey it to Xiao Sa, who received the call-up and was very excited, after all, this is representing the country. And in such a large-scale competition as the Olympic Games, if you can appear on the field, it will really be glorious.

However, Barbara told him something else. If you go back to China to train together, then you will definitely miss the summer league, which is for rookies to adapt to the rhythm of the NBA, and if this link is missing, it may be a little less adaptable.

Chick is very entangled.

Therefore, he didn't pay much attention to Li Chenglong.

Li Chenglong saw that Xiao Xiao was not in high spirits, so he sat aside and was silently excited. Now he's the deputy editor-in-chief of The Basketball Defender, and he makes headlines for almost every piece of news, and being in the headlines means getting a prize that ranges from $500 to $1,000.

He felt like he was starting to reach the top of his life.

Therefore, he is very grateful to fate, and thanks to fate for arranging his encounter with Xiao Shi. If it weren't for Xiao Xiao, he might have run the CBA in China by now, or even worse, wiping dishes at an unknown Chinese restaurant in the United States.

After about fifteen minutes, Dunleavy came in with a new contract.

He brought the contract into the office, and Barbara looked at it carefully for several more minutes to make sure there were no problems before she called Xiao Dash in.

After Xiao Shi entered, he did not hesitate and signed his name directly on the contract.

He believed in Barbara.

After Dunleavy also signed his name, the contract officially went into effect. The first two years of this four-year contract are protected, which means that even if Xiao Xiao does nothing from now on, he will receive $4.7 million from the Clippers, which, of course, is subject to tax deductions.

"Tomorrow I'll send you my employer's account number, and according to the NBA's wage regulations, we can get a one-year salary in one lump sum. Please pay us all of your first year's salary, we need to buy a house in Los Angeles. Barbara said dryly.

"Okay, no problem." Dunleavy agreed.

Then, he stood up and made a gesture of invitation to Xiao Sa: "Mr. Xiao Sa, we have prepared a heavy signing press conference. We can now go to the press conference. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Shao also stood up and walked out under the leadership of Dunleavy.

The two talked as they walked: "By the way, Xiao, have you considered your jersey number?" Now that we have officially signed a contract, we need to get your jersey out and hang it in our store for sale. ”

Xiao Po pondered for a moment, with a hint of sadness in his tone, and he reported a number: "24! ”

As soon as Xiao Sa's number came out, Dunleavy was immediately stunned, and he looked at Xiao Sa with some confusion: "So... All right? ”

In his opinion, although the Clippers and the Lakers are mortal enemies in the same city. But you're a rookie, and you're going to work against Kobe Bryant as soon as you come up, okay?

Xiao Shi stretched his brows and smiled: "Nothing bad." It's a number I'll never forget. ”

"Oh." Dunleavy nodded, not saying anything more.

Soon, the group had already arrived at the press conference.

As soon as Dunleavy and Xiao Shi sat on the podium, the magnesium lights below had already begun to flicker, and they flickered for a minute or two before slowly subsided. And Xiao Sa only saw the battle in the audience clearly at this time, and there were nearly fifty or sixty reporters seated.

This is his first time attending a press conference, so he doesn't have much idea about it.

If you tell him that last month's finals press conference was no more than that, he would be able to understand his influence.

At the beginning of the press conference, McDonleavy expressed his appreciation and love for Xiao Xiao in an excited tone, and he also believed that Xiao Xiao could play a beautiful game for the Clippers and help the Clippers achieve better results. Finally, he announced that the team has signed a contract with Xiao Sa, and Xiao Po has officially become a member of the Clippers team.

At this time, the staff handed over the jersey of the Clippers, took the jersey and put a few poss, and there were bursts of flashing lights underneath.

After the photo shoot, Xiao Xiao expressed his joy at joining the Clippers very officially, and thanked the Clippers management for selecting him with the seventh pick.

After some thanks, it finally entered the question session that the reporters paid the most attention to.

Soon, a reporter snatched the microphone from the staff with vigorous skills, and then asked the first question: "Hello Xiao, I am a reporter from China Sports Weekly." As the first Chinese point guard to join the NBA, what do you think are your strengths? ”

"Advantage?" Xiao Shi frowned, this question really stumped him, he thought about it and replied, "I don't know, I never thought about it." ”

"So do you have any good advice for domestic players? There are also many guards in the country who have dreams of entering the NBA. The reporter continued to ask.

"Nope." Xiao Shi shook his head: "I don't have long basketball experience, and I don't know how to build others." However, I would like to use my experience to tell those who have dreams that dreams are not out of reach. As long as you work hard, as long as you are determined, nothing is impossible. I'm a good example of that. ”

Xiao Shi's answer was very sincere and convincing, after all, his experience is here, and a person who can be selected by the seventh pick after four months of practice is certainly qualified to say that his dream is not out of reach.

Soon, the second reporter, who stood up, was also a Chinese reporter, and he asked another question: "Hello Xiao, now that the national team coached by Younas has sent you an invitation, will you return to China to join you?" Do you think if you go back, you'll be able to get an official spot in the squad for the Olympics? ”

At the moment when the reporter raised this question, Xiao Sa finally solved the tangle in his head, and he replied with certainty: "I will return to China." I'm going to be in the Olympics. ”

The answer immediately prompted the Chinese reporters at the scene to stand up and applaud.

And these applause also made Xiao Ming's name and his decision was not wrong. No matter how much you have achieved in the United States, you are not as good as having a real scenery at your doorstep.

Xiao Swan doesn't want to walk at night in brocade clothes, he wants to return to his hometown!

As soon as the applause of the Chinese reporters stopped, an American reporter stood up and asked a somewhat sharp question: "Xiao, what do you think about the fact that many people are saying that you will be the biggest parallel commodity in the 21st century?" Do you think you can silence these doubters with your actions? ”

β€œyes!” The chic answer was brief, but he didn't evade it at all, and faced the question head-on.

As soon as Xiao Shao's answer was finished, a female reporter got the microphone, and then she asked loudly: "Xiao, hello." There are still a lot of people talking about your relationship, do you want to explain it here? ”

As soon as this reporter's question came out, everyone's eyes at the entire press conference looked at Xiao Shao.

They were all waiting for a dashing answer, including Dunleavy beside him. After all, there is no distinction between age, race, and skin color, and everyone has a small flame of gossip in their hearts, which will burn as long as they meet the right time.

And Barbara, who was backstage, heard this question, but her heart suddenly froze, for fear of losing her words.

"What romance?" Xiao Sao asked in surprise.

"It's your love affair with Jennifer Lawrence, haven't you looked at the pictures on the Internet?"

"No, I'm not online."

"Can you explain your relationship with Jennifer Lawrence?"

"Can't!" Xiao shook his head firmly, and his tone was not negotiable: "I'm a player, my job is to play basketball well, and I don't have any reason to satisfy the public's curiosity." ”

When the female reporter heard this, she could only sit down in frustration. She felt that Xiao Sao was too uncooperative, so she refuted herself so stiffly.

And Barbara, who was backstage, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and finally didn't take the scandal seriously. A few days ago, Jennifer's agent called her and asked her to cooperate with the scandal. In fact, it is to let Xiao Shi bite the topic, neither deny nor affirm, let it develop, and continue to generate news heat.

Next, the reporters asked a lot of questions about basketball, and Xiao Shi answered them one by one, very cooperative and very harmonious.

Soon, the press conference ended in the unfinished minds of the reporters.

The day after the press conference, Xiao Sa flew to China with Li Chenglong Barbara.

He has decided to give up the summer league and go to the Olympics.

The Clippers are fully supportive of this, and they have no difficulty. Because, that's what their boss meant. Their boss wants to represent China at the Olympics and earn more Chinese popularity, which will bring more commercial sponsorship.

As for the summer league, the Clippers owner doesn't care, he wants the Chinese market!!

…………

The first update is delivered, thanks to the two tips of "Splendid Heaven" and "Absolute S Dream", mu-a!

The next step is to start the official depiction of the game.

This book's foreplay is probably the longest of all my basketball novels.
