Chapter 448: Just Because You Want to Play in the NBA?

"Ding-dong......"

"Welcome, what do you want to eat?"

As soon as the guests entered the door, they were a little surprised to see the behemoth walking in front of them.

"Lao Wang, your newly hired waiter is really strong!"

The customer who just entered the door looked like a regular customer of the fast food restaurant.

Hearing his words, Wang Xu, who was busy at the bar, raised his head and said with a smile: "The children of relatives, just come over to help for a few days, what do you want?" ”

……

A few minutes later, the back kitchen.

"How's it going, does the new dress fit?"

Wang Xu smiled and wanted to pat Wang Feng on the shoulder, but the height difference between the two made his action very difficult, so he had to give up.

"Well, that's just right, thank you, Brother Wang."

Wang Feng nodded slightly and said.

Wang Feng, who is 2 meters tall, did not have clothes suitable for him in the restaurant, so after a day, Wang Xu specially bought a suitable clothes for Wang Feng, although it was just some cheap and cheap processing goods, but after all, Wang Feng would not continue to be frozen in the cold winter wax moon.

"That's good."

Wang Xu nodded slightly.

Although he had only been in contact for less than two days, Wang Feng gave him a very good impression, careful and serious and very polite, not like he imagined with those street gangsters.

In this case, even if Wang Feng is allowed to stay here temporarily, it is not impossible to even give him a little salary later.

It's just that Wang Xu's fast food restaurant is also a small business, focusing on Chinese food, and the business in Queens, New York is not good, so he can barely make ends meet, and he can't afford to hire waiters, so he can't pay much even if he pays his salary.

"If you're tired, you can go to the back kitchen to rest, and you can stay in the store for the time being."

Wang Xu was also completely relieved of Wang Feng, and let him live in the store at night without worrying that Wang Feng would steal the things in the store and run away.

"Well, Brother Wang, I'm just going to stay here for a few days, and when a team wants me, I can move out of here." Wang Feng did not forget to add.

Regarding what Wang Feng said, Wang Xu just listened to it casually.

Although Wang Feng's height is very similar to that of playing basketball, he doesn't think Wang Feng can play in the NBA.

Although Wang Xu doesn't pay much attention to basketball and sports circles, his son is a die-hard basketball fan. Jordan's name hangs on his lips.

Therefore, under the influence of his ears and eyes, Wang Xu knows more or less what is going on in the NBA.

It was a stage for a group of wealthy people to compete, and it was said that even the worst bench players had an annual salary of tens of thousands, like the New York Knicks star Patrick. Ewing, with an annual salary of more than four million!

Four million dollars!

For Wang Xu, this is simply an astronomical amount, and the net profit of his fast food restaurant is only more than 10,000 US dollars for a whole year, and this more than 10,000 US dollars needs to support his entire family.

So things in the NBA are like listening to stories for him.

"Oh, by the way, I mentioned you to my son yesterday, I said you want to play in the NBA, he is a die-hard NBA fan, he is very interested in you, and said that he will come to the store to see you after class today."

"Brother Wang's son?"

Wang Feng remembered that Wang Xu had mentioned before that he had a son named Wang Xiao, who was just 18 years old this year and was studying at a high school in Brooklyn, New York.

"Yes, if he wants to learn to play basketball, I can teach him."

Wang Feng said.

However, when Wang Feng was about to close the store in the afternoon, when he officially met Wang Xiao, Wang Xu's son, he saw a disgusted expression written on the other party's face.

"Hehe, you're the guy my dad said he was."

Eighteen-year-old Wang Xiao is dressed up in a flowing style and full of hip-hop style, which is comparable to many black young people on the street.

"I'll just say that my dad was cheated and he's quite big, but you don't think you can get into the NBA just by being tall, right? Aren't you afraid of blowing the cowhide out? ”

Wang Feng: "......"

"Stinky boy, how did you talk to your Uncle Wang Feng?" Wang Xu immediately scolded.

It's just that compared to Wang Xiao, it seems that Wang Xu's words hurt Wang Feng even more.

Uncle?

When did he become an uncle?

was scolded by Wang Xu, Wang Xiao didn't speak again, pouted and turned his head to leave.

Perhaps in his eyes, Wang Feng is a homeless man who went to his father's shop to be abducted and tricked into eating a stutter.

Wang Feng didn't take this matter to heart.

In this day and age, it is not surprising that there is such an idea.

Before Yao's unprecedented success in the NBA, almost everyone felt that Asians were not suitable for the sport of basketball, which belonged to both black and white people.

Wang Feng is a yellow race, but he is ashamed to play in the NBA, and no one believes anyone who knows a little bit about basketball.

This is also a problem that is bothering Wang Feng now.

What does it take for him to join the NBA?

'94 is not as good as Wang Feng's original era, including the development of the NBA, although each team has professional scouts, but the scouts' main focus is on college and high school.

A pure "newcomer" like Wang Feng, who is close to 30 years old and has no competition experience, no one will take a look at him at all.

"When it comes to the fastest way to get into the NBA...... Sure enough, he still broke up an active star player in the league, so as to quickly enter the scout's sight. ”

At night, Wang Feng lay on the "bed" made of a temporary table, thinking silently.

"But the question is, what star will sit idle and go head-to-head with me as a nobody?"

Wang Feng suddenly thought of a place, a place that was blown into the sky on the domestic Internet - Rock Park.

Rock Park, the world's most famous basketball court, is located in the Harlem district near Manhattan, New York, is the birthplace of the United States streetball culture, the mecca of streetball, where countless streetball players have been born, including Alstom, the streetball king who has played in the NBA.

And there are many well-known stars in the NBA who have come to Rock Park to play, including but not limited to Kobe, Iverson, Carter and others.

Unlike the high-threshold NBA, as a street basketball court, anyone can play, as long as the individual skills are good enough to dominate the game, and there are often NBA scouts to Rock Park to investigate.

It's just that the problem is that when it comes to Rock Park, Wang Feng is a little panicked.

It's not a professional arena with no rules, and as the basketball court that represents the most black culture, it's not peaceful at all.

Wang Feng has seen the news more than once, it is said that someone wearing a new pair of sneakers to Rock Park stepped on the field, only to be targeted by several black men.

It is also said that you should never take the subway to Rock Park, because it is dangerous when you get out of the subway.

Wang Feng is really a little worried, if he runs to Rock Park to kick the gym with a big grin, will his life be in danger? The kind in the literal sense of the word.

After all, with Wang Feng's current 99 overall rating and the ability of a large number of purple Hall of Fame-level badges, it is completely a dimensionality reduction blow in Rock Park, no matter how strong a street ball player is, in front of him, a perfect basketball player who has a body, a technique, and a three-point breakthrough inside, he can only be beaten up in a heads-up.

If Wang Feng is a black man, he doesn't have to worry so much, after all, everyone is black, and they will give each other some face.

But as an Asian, to show off your might in black territory, you must be prepared to take the corresponding risks.

Wang Feng didn't want to die in an inexplicable shooting before he could challenge the NBA dynasty, so although the plan to make a name for himself in Rock Park was feasible, the specific implementation process must be cautious.

"Tomorrow, let's go to the surrounding street courts to see the atmosphere and culture of street basketball in this era, and then go to Rock Park......

……

"Xiaoxiao, you talked too much today."

At Wang Xu's house, when the family had dinner at the dinner table, Wang Xu said to Wang Xiao.

"Entering the NBA to play, this is someone's dream, you can not believe that he can do it, but you can't insult other people's dreams!"

"Hmph, what's so respectful about daydreaming?"

Wang Xiao held the rice bowl and whispered with some resentment.

"Wang Xiao!"

Wang Xu's brows furrowed, and his tone was aggravated, he was really angry.

Wang Xiao didn't say anything more, lowered his head and ate silently, but the hand holding the dishes and chopsticks clenched involuntarily.

Damn, why do you recall it at this time......

It was when Wang Xiao had just entered high school, and during a class activity, he said his dream loudly in front of all his classmates.

"My dream is to make it to the NBA and become a basketball star!"

In order to fulfill his dream, Wang Xiao signed up for the high school team and officially received systematic basketball training.

However......

"Hahaha! Do you want to play in the NBA at this level? I can beat you with one hand! ”

"Save your energy, no matter how hard you try, it's useless, your talent is like this!"

"A yellow guy wants to play basketball too? Don't have such unrealistic dreams again! ”

I don't know when it started, I understood the cruelty of reality, Wang Xiao never mentioned his dream again, and quit the school basketball team, although he still loves basketball and the NBA, but he has understood that the NBA is a field that he can never touch.

"Hmph, a guy who came out of nowhere, is already in his thirties, and actually wants to play in the NBA? Stop dreaming! ”

……

The next day, after finishing the chores in the convenience store, Wang Feng asked his boss Wang Xu for a leave of absence to wander around the surrounding neighborhood and inspect the situation of the street basketball court.

I have to admit that in the 90s, the construction of the United States was really good, and many street public facilities were even better than the first-tier cities in China 20 years later.

But it's not surprising, this is New York, the largest city in the whole meter, and it is one of the best cities in the world, how can the construction be poor?

In recent years, with the three-consecutive championship dynasty of Jordan, the god of basketball, the NBA, as the third largest ball game in the whole rice, has received more and more attention and love.

Wang Feng walked around a few blocks, and saw as many as several courts, and someone could be seen playing on each court, which could completely see the rich basketball atmosphere of the United States.

It's just that although there are many people who play, the level is a little different.

The vast majority of them are just ordinary fans, and in Wang Feng's opinion, they are quite amateurish, and they don't even have the desire to stop and take a second look.

"Sure enough, if you want to be famous, you still have to go to a place like Rock Park, the mecca of streetball......

Wang Feng thought this in his heart, and passed by a street basketball court again.

Glancing at the children playing on the court, he shook his head slightly and was about to leave.

At that moment, a familiar figure among the several people stopped him.

"That's ...... Wang Xiao? ”

Looking at Wang Xiao, who was wearing a jersey and a white headscarf, full of hip-hop style, sweating like rain on the court, Wang Feng was a little surprised.

"Yes, Brother Wang said before that Wang Xiao also likes the NBA, so it's not surprising that he likes to play so much."

Stopping and deliberately observing Wang Xiao's basketball level, Wang Feng couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

From a professional point of view, Wang Xiao's dribbling skills are barely so-so, but his body is too thin, and even this kind of amateur defensive level of high school students, once there is slight physical contact with him, his movements can be seriously affected.

At this level, you can only be a basketball enthusiast.

Just when Wang Feng was still watching the excitement, several black guys walked over in the distance.

"Hey, I said, why are you here to play again? Didn't you say that? This is our place! ”

These people came to the court and directly stopped Wang Xiao who was playing, and said unceremoniously.

The two sides seemed to know each other, although the other party's tone was high-spirited, but Wang Xiao and the others didn't say much, silently put away the basketball and were about to leave.

But at this time, the black young man who spoke earlier looked at Wang Xiao and laughed again.

"Who was I at the time, I didn't look carefully just now, it turned out to be Wang Xiao's big star who was inspired by us to enter the NBA! What, are you still working your basketball dream? ”

Wang Xiao lowered his head and didn't speak, but his fists couldn't help but clench.

The black man in front of him he knew was the ace of Wang Xiao's high school basketball team, Jack.

Jack is the star of their high school and is well-known in the national high school basketball community, and I heard that there are already scouts from several colleges who are already looking at Jack's potential, and once he is spotted by one of them, he can join that college as a sports student and play in the NCAA!

Everyone knows that the NCAA is the best bridge to the NBA.

If there's anyone in their high school who's most likely to join the NBA in the future, it's Jack!

It's just that although he is talented, this guy's personality is very bad, and he likes to rely on his height and strong body of nearly 1.9 meters at school, and often bullies his classmates in the same school.

Wang Xiao is one of the targets of his bullying.

"Interesting, the future NBA star, it's hard to see you on the court once, or let's have a heads-up, I regret that you left the team from the school team, because I always want to learn about the style of future NBA stars on the court."

Listening to Jack's yin and yang weird ridicule, Wang Xiao did not respond, and turned his head to leave while holding the basketball.

But as soon as he moved, he was immediately surrounded by several people.

"I'm telling you, boy! You've got to go head-to-head with me today, or you don't want to get out of here! ”
