Chapter 6: Brokers

The afternoon passed, and Xiao Sa spent all his time dribbling except for a few sips of water. He's progressing very quickly, and while the pace of holding the ball at a fast pace can still seem a little weird, at least he doesn't slap the ball on the instep anymore.

Xiao Sa's hard training has touched the players a lot, everyone is the same age, and there will be comparisons with each other in their hearts: he can be so serious, why can't I?

Xiao is like a catfish thrown into a sardine, and it immediately activates the enthusiasm of other players.

Therefore, the quality of the training session in the afternoon was very high, and no one complained about the amount of training, but consciously added a few rounds of training.

Ben Holland was more satisfied with this kind of performance, and he began to think that it would be good for Xiao Xiao to stay around, at least to make his players work a little harder.

But he still doesn't like chic. Because Xiao slang deceived him, and he didn't know the height of the sky, he didn't even know how to shoot basketball and wanted to make money from basketball, which was too ambitious. And when he heard that Xiao Shi's dream was to defeat Kobe Bryant, he was even more disdainful, and he felt that Xiao Shi was a child who loved to lie and brag, and was particularly dishonest and down-to-earth.

When this impression is rooted in his heart, how can he look chic and pleasing to the eye?

Xiao could sense that Ben Holland didn't like him, but he didn't say much. He just wants to be himself silently now, if he doesn't like it, he doesn't like it, anyway, he is not a yuan, let alone an American knife!

After the day's training, Westbrook specially invited Xiao Sa to play in his rented apartment, Xiao Sa did not refuse, he is a newcomer here, and it is always right to make a few friends.

After the two went to the bathroom to take a shower, they left shoulder to shoulder.

Ben Holland was uncomfortable to see the two men so close, and he didn't think that the team's top star should have a friendship with a smuggled caddy, and he was afraid that his love would be ruined by playing with a guy like Xiao Po. After all, this guy is going to participate in the draft right away, and if he gets bad in the last few months, it will definitely affect his whole life.

So, he dialed Westbrook's agent.

"Bob, I have to remind you of something. Your employer is playing with an unscrupulous teenager right now, and I hope you can keep him away from him as much as possible, and if something bad happens, it will be a huge loss for you and Westbrook. Do you understand? ”

"What? Is there such a thing? Okay, I'll talk to him soon, and I can't be sloppy about this! Bob hung up the phone in a frenzy, then quickly put down his work and galloped all the way to the Westbrook residence.

Nothing is more important to Bob now than Westbrook. Although this guy is not the favorite of this year's top show, the top five picks are basically packed tickets. Moreover, with his amazing physique and anti-heaven potential, the probability of becoming a star in the future is very high. If such a guy with superstar potential is ruined before the draft, then it is not a small amount of money.

When Bob drove all the way to Westbrook's small apartment, Westbrook and Xiao were playing 2K, and the two were playing very hot. At the beginning, Westbrook easily crushed Xiao Xiao, but after Xiao Xiao understood how to operate and the stats of specific players, he immediately showed amazing control talent and achieved a very direct counter-kill advantage.

The two were inseparable.

Bob is also a 2K fan, and he wanted to lose his temper when he came in, but he was dumbfounded when he saw Xiao Shao's long pass to Andrew Bynum under the basket in an incredible way to score an empty dunk.

He prides himself on being a 2K hardcore player, and he didn't expect basketball to be able to play like this. Actually passing the ball directly outside the three-point line, how did he know that Bynum would definitely turn around and definitely receive it empty? It's a game.,The game is controlled by a program.,There's no way to pass the code through the eyes.。

"Hey, Xiao, how did you do that? Didn't you know that Fisher's passing prowess wasn't great? If you make a mistake, it's a mistake! Westbrook had already asked Bob's doubts.

Xiao Shi heard this, but said a little embarrassed: "Actually, my ball was passed to the No. 16." ”

"Ah??! I see. Westbrook and Bob sighed at the same time, they thought it was a stroke of genius, it turned out that there was a bug in the game.

The two suddenly realized, and disappointment surged subconsciously in their hearts.

However, Xiao Sa actually didn't finish this sentence, and the second half of the sentence was pinched in his throat: "No. 16 is a very smart player, his passing value is very high, my ball can just pass to him, although No. 21 is also in the attack area, but if No. 16 is overdone, the success rate will be much higher." ”

The reason why Xiao Sa didn't say this sentence was because he felt that it was too long, and it was difficult to say it all in his English. Moreover, Westbrook is already organizing the Celts to launch a new attack.

Xiao Xiao obviously didn't know that his plan happened to be the most surviving and powerful triangle tactic for the Lakers. His passing ideas are precisely the core of the triangle strategy, and the number 16, also known as Pau Gasol, is the focus of that axis.

Lakers head coach Phil Jackson would have been stunned if he knew that a layman who had never been trained in basketball would know to use triangles when he first started operating a Lakers game.

It's just that Bob and Westbrook are still a little disappointed, because they originally thought it was a stroke of genius, but now it only proves that the wrong person has passed and the game is buggy!

The game still goes on.

Westbrook tried to manipulate Perkins for a dunk, but it worked well, but just as he squeezed Bynum to dunk, Ariza rushed over and slapped the ball away...... Syllable!

The steal is successful!

Bob watched the chic operation behind him, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Good ball, the operation is fantastic!" ”

Bob's cheering made Westbrook give him an angry look: "Hey, man, I'm your employer, you should cheer me on!" ”

"But he was so clever that he deliberately manipulated Bynum to back away and lure Perkins deep into the box. Immediate substitution operation Ariza rushed in for a steal. It's very organized, and the basketball IQ is much higher than you......" Bob shrugged his shoulders and said righteously, "I've always been an objective person. ”

"your objective ......" Before Westbrook could finish complaining, Kobe Bryant in the front court had already scored a mid-range jumper.

He wondered, how the hell was this done? Wasn't the ball in Fisher's hands all the time?

Because it is very simple, Xiao Sao did not control Fisher who dribbled, but controlled Kobe Bryant's fast run, and after Kobe ran to the position, Fisher made a long pass, and Kobe Bryant received the ball and scored easily!

"Well done!" Bob returns to cheer for chic. At the same time, he shouted to Westbrook: "Stinky boy, you are not his opponent at all, let me come, I will help you kill him!" ”

Westbrook was completely bitter-faced, and he was completely powerless to resist the chic means.

But he didn't want to throw in the towel so quickly, so instead of handing the handle to Bob, he continued to carry it bitterly.

In the next few rounds, he was still eaten to death. There's no way, I hurriedly replaced Bob on the field, hoping that he can get back some of the field, and I can't let this rookie who just learned to play 2K kill two generals in a row, right?

But the result is that Xiao Xiao still easily defeated Bob, which made Bob very shameless, he was the most proficient in 2K among the agents, and now he was defeated by this guy.

Bob was taught a shameless lesson, and he laughed awkwardly for a long time. Only then did he remember what he was going to do, but when he looked at Xiao Shi carefully, he didn't think that Xiao Sheng was a bad boy. There was no smell of ** on the clothes, and there were no guns on them. He looked exactly like an honest kid who had just emigrated from Asia.

Although his first impression of Xiao was very good, he still asked two words: "Xiao, how did you meet Westbrook?" ”

"He's my caddy......"

Westbrook hurriedly scrambled to answer, but Xiao Shi corrected his wording: "No, don't listen to him, my true identity is Westbrook's spiritual mentor." ”

"Spiritual Mentor?" Bob frowned, and suddenly remembered a terrifying thing in his heart, this yellow-skinned teenager couldn't be a member of a cult, right?

"Yes, I coach him on how to get stronger on the pitch. He needs my help, as you can see, I'm a total genius at basketball. Today was my first time playing 2K, and I beat you all with ease. Xiao said seriously, he is a serious person, even stinky farts are so serious.

After hearing Xiao Sa say this, Bob breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't a cult organization. He was afraid that this future superstar under his banner would be dug into some cult organization.

"So, are you also a UCLA Bruins player?"

"It's not!" Xiao shook his head and said honestly, "My current identity is Westbrook's spiritual mentor and caddy. ”

"Oh. So do you play basketball? ”

"No, it won't." Xiao Xiao still maintains an honest attitude: "However, I believe that with my talent, I will definitely become a great basketball player in a very short period of time." ”

Xiao Sao said seriously, but Bob didn't laugh. In the previous 2K games, he has fully seen the dashing basketball IQ, and if it is really his first operation, then his basketball comprehension ability is definitely S-level.

Therefore, he plans to give Xiao Sage a chance, after all, as an agent, he has always been a style of doing things that kill a thousand by mistake and are unwilling to let go of one person.

"I think your body is really suitable for basketball, you are taller than Westbrook, your palms are bigger than his, and your Achilles tendon is about the same as his." Bob looked at his sleek figure seriously and in surprise, then walked aside and picked up the tape measure: "I'll give you a specific test!" Come, stand by the wall! Open your arms. ”

Hearing this, Xiao quickly walked over and made corresponding movements according to Bob's request.

Soon, Bob measured the number with Westbrook's help.

Then, Bob was stunned: "With a height of 195cm, the arm span is actually ...... 215cm。 ”

"Oh my God, it's terrifying that the arm span is twenty centimeters longer than the height." As a sports agent, Bob understands what this number means, which means that his dashing defense is wider, his dribble range will be wider, his offensive breakthroughs will be sharper, and he will have an advantage over people of the same height when it comes to grabbing rebounds.

"Then measure the length of your palm." Bob pulls out a tape measure and lets Xiao Dash stretch out his giant palm.

The dashing fingers are very slender, beautiful and powerful at the same time.

Bob was already admiring before he measured it, and when he finished measuring, he was completely stunned...... "The palm plus the fingers are actually, actually, it's actually 31cm, God, there won't be that outside player in the NBA with a bigger palm than him, even the basketball god Michael Jordan is not as big as his palm, this is simply a palm that was born for basketball." ”

"Hurry up and compare with him!" Bob hurriedly asked Westbrook to stretch out his hand and compare it with Chick.

Westbrook gave Bob a somewhat annoyed look, thinking to himself that wasn't a humiliation? Still, he stretched out his hand. As soon as the two are compared, the gap is obvious.

Although Westbrook's palm was already very good, compared to Chic, it immediately became smaller.

"You're a genius." Bob patted Xiao Xiao on the shoulder, he was the first person to honestly agree that Xiao Xiao was a genius.

However, he was quickly doused by Westbrook's basin of cold water: "But it's a pity that this basketball genius can't play, and even the dribbling was taught to him this morning." ”

"Huh?" Bob's frenzy cooled down all at once. Then he cautiously asked Xiao Sa for confirmation: "You really don't know how to play?" ”

"Yes." Xiao nodded honestly: "Actually, I only started to get into basketball a few days ago. ”

The dashing honesty immediately cooled Bob's fanaticism, but he was still a little reluctant and hurriedly asked, "How old are you this year?" ”

"I'm going to be nineteen in two months."

"Oh, that's a really bad thing." Bob reached out and patted his head, he judged the same as Lenny Kuhn. Although Xiao Xiao is a brilliant basketball genius, but... He's been delayed for too long, he's now nineteen years old, and he's just learned how to dribble, a situation that has completely cut off hope in the NBA.

"Is that bad?" Xiao Dash didn't think so, but he said optimistically: "A genius like me can't use your thinking to speculate on the future, I'm a genius with special talent!" ”

Xiao Shao's self-confidence at this time seemed a little redundant to Bob. Because in his cognition, the nineteen-year-old has been stereotyped, and it may be possible to go to the minor league to play as a substitute after practicing hard for two years, but there is no way to play in the NBA.

But there is no commercial sponsorship to play in the minor league, so Bob is interested in it, and he has no desire to continue to hook up. After all, he is an agent, and it is his job to find potential newcomers and sign them in time. And now, Xiao Xiao no longer meets his signing criteria.

"Well, that's the end of it. But Westbrook, you're going to have to put all your energy into the game, March Madness is going to be the month of your price increases, and you can't afford to languish at this time. Of course, you can't get hurt, because being injured will affect the draft market. Bob changed the subject and said to Westbrook.

"Well, I know. I will be stronger under Shaw's guidance, I believe in him. Westbrook patted Chish on the shoulder, and he trusted him very much now. Although Xiao Xiao doesn't know how to play basketball, he believes in the guy's theories and his instincts for basketball.

He felt that he really needed to review it now.

Bob no longer doubted this. Although he thinks that Xiao Xiao will never be able to play in the NBA in his life, he is still impressed by Xiao Xiao's basketball IQ, this guy playing 2K is simply God controlling the gamepad. His understanding of basketball has surpassed that of the average professional player or even a professional coach, which is a great talent. But, unfortunately, this guy may not be able to use this talent on the NBA stage for the rest of his life.

Damn, if only I had met him three years ago. This guy has the talent to definitely make a star. He is Chinese, and his commercial value will definitely be higher than Westbrook.

Before leaving Westbrook's room, Bob grumbled with particular annoyance.

He thinks that Xiao Shi has been buried by time, and it is a pity that he did not appear in front of his eyes at the right time.

Bob walked into the car and immediately dialed Ben Holland: "Mr. Holland, I have already inspected that Chinese boy, he is a good boy. He has a great basketball talent, both physically and with his basketball IQ, I was very impressed. So, I thought, did you have some misunderstanding about him? I'm in favor of his exchange with Westbrook. What about you? ”

"Now that you've agreed, what else can I say?" Ben Holland shook his head on the phone, then hung up.

He was not convinced by Bob, he even thought that Bob must have been deceived by the Chinese teenager who loved to lie and brag, because he himself was almost deceived.

Ben Holland had already developed a prejudice against Dash in his mind, and it would be difficult to change it unless Dash accomplished something remarkable in front of him.

Xiao Xiao didn't know that Mr. Holland had such a deep prejudice against himself, after Bob left. Westbrook was about to take Spark out for a quick snack, but Spark found out that the guy still had some ingredients at home, so he volunteered to cook his own meal.

Westbrook was very surprised when he heard that Xiao Xian still had a talent for cooking, and ridiculed on the side: "You can't cook anything good, I'm waiting for you to waste my steak, and then you have to let me call outside."

Xiao Sa is too lazy to take care of him, cooking is Xiao Sa's good job. As an orphan, he was in charge of his own cooking from an early age, and because of his outstanding talent, he soon became a well-known hand.

Very quickly, Xiao stir-fried a plate of chili stir-fried meat, and a bowl of broccoli.

It's just that the Westbrook family doesn't have rice, so they can only eat it with bread.

Westbrook almost fell to his knees after taking a bite, excited like a monkey dancing with his hands, excitedly expressing his excitement: "Oh my God, this is delicious." The beef is so delicious when it is fried. Not only does it retain the tenderness and juiciness of the beef, but it also adds the heat of the chili pepper, and it is really enjoyable to mix! Xiao, you must come to my house more often in the future, you should be my teacher, I really want to learn to cook! ”

Westbrook was excited, as if he had eaten some fairy fruit.

Xiao Xiao didn't think there was anything surprising about this, it was just an ordinary home-cooked dish, and the condiments were not complete, and the taste was already ordinary.

"Haven't you Americans eaten anything good?" Xiao glanced at him angrily.

By the time he looked down, Westbrook had already drained all the beef plates, and he had already picked up another plate of broccoli with a flattering face.

When Xiao Sheng saw his reincarnation as a starving ghost, he didn't bother to bother with him, and silently nibbled on bread.

After eating this meal, Westbrook has been completely conquered, and he is almost on the ground.

In this regard, Xiao Xiao only maintained pity, and slandered in his heart: Americans really haven't eaten good things.
