Chapter Forty-Eight: Your Shallow Smile Is Like Plum Sauce
Not only did Woody Hayes see the yellow envelope in the scout's hand, but so did the media reporters on the sidelines. And they also recognized it, this is Duke's scout.
In just one day, the news that Woody received a letter from Old K spread throughout the high school basketball circle.
Now, Woody has more scouts to deal with.
It's all scouts from NCAA colleges.
The old K has done it, where can they still sit still!
They all brought the ideas and commitments of their respective school coaches.
In all the way, Woody couldn't remember what some NCAA Division II head coaches had said, but he already had at least a dozen NCAA Division I League players on his hands before Christmas.
Among them are many of the top NCAA giants like the Duke Blue Devils.
Stephen Curry is envious.
Especially the "handwritten letter" from Lao K, he turned it over and over, read and read. Duke is one of Dele Curry's favorite colleges, and Stephen Curry's goal is to join Duke in the future and be a part of the Blue Devils to fulfill his dad's expectations.
"Man, don't look at it, Woody won't be Stephen Curry anymore."
Woody's teasing made Stephen Curry smile awkwardly, and he folded the letter and handed it back to Woody. But his eyes were still fixed on the letter.
This is a real desire!
Woody patted him on the head: "Don't worry, you keep it up, sooner or later there will be an envelope with Stephen Curry written on it, sent from Duke!" ”
Despite turning 15 in a few days, Stephen Curry is still coaxing. With just such a sentence, he immediately smiled.
The main thing is that he is really happy with his performances since the new season.
On December 23, Woody met Dele Curry, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and he had come to pick up Stephen Curry back for Christmas. Of course, he could have asked Stephen Curry to buy his own ticket back, but after thinking about it, he decided to come to Akron to thank Woody for taking care of Stephen Curry during this time.
Originally, he also invited Woody to his house as a guest, but when he heard that Woody had already made arrangements, he was not reluctant.
Stephen Curry reluctantly waved goodbye to Woody: "Goodbye after winter break, Woody, Merry Christmas!" ”
On December 24, Woody took Wu Erzhuang to Detroit to watch the "Christmas War" played at Auburn Hills Palace on the afternoon of December 25. Wu Erzhuang specially changed into a suit that Woody hadn't seen him wear before, and the whole person was very upright, but the style was a little old-fashioned, and then Woody knew that this was bought by Wu Erzhuang two or three years ago, and he was going to wear it home when he "returned home".
It can be said that in addition to Wu Erzhuang's failure to realize the "American dream", everything else that should be thought of has been thought of.
But now, it's finally coming in handy.
Before Wu Erzhuang came to watch this game, he specifically learned about the tickets for the "Christmas War", and the back row was much more expensive than usual, and the sideline tickets like the one in their hands could only be bought for 100,000 dollars.
Even if Detroit is not a big city like Los Angeles, the price is at least about 20,000 or 30,000 dollars.
At first, when he heard that the side tickets were so expensive, Wu Erzhuang's first reaction was to sell the tickets.
That's enough for them to have a good time for the rest of the year.
Woody also had such a plan at the beginning, but thinking that this ticket was specially given to him by Ben Wallace, he was going to sell it like this, which was somewhat rude, and he was sorry for the people's thoughts, so he "painted a big cake" to his uncle: "Don't be reluctant, second uncle, your life will be normal like this in the future, this time you should adapt to it in advance!" ”
Wu Erzhuang's eyes lit up suddenly: "Really? Your second uncle doesn't read much, don't lie to your second uncle! ”
Woody: "Of course it's true, Second Uncle! ”
Wu Erzhuang immediately stopped twisting, and specially "dressed up" to attend.
Ben Wallace's enthusiasm surprised Woody, and he also went to the airport to pick him up, and he also booked a hotel next to the arena with Woody: "Detroit is not very safe, you are not familiar with the place, it is better for me to arrange it!" ”
The words were reasonable, and Woody was not easy to refuse, thinking that he would wait for himself to enter the NBA in the future and prepare a gift for Ben Wallace. Then persuaded Wu Erzhuang to accept it with peace of mind.
I also ate with Ben Wallace in the evening.
His annual salary is not high among NBA players, only 5.2 million, which is a middle-class contract, and he can't even reach the All-Star level, let alone the top salary, which is far from it.
But for Woody and Wu Erzhuang, he is simply a big tyrant.
Before Woody came, he thought of cutting down on food and clothing, and slipped away to watch the game, but he didn't expect it to come true, and he really took Wu Erzhuang to experience the good days in advance in advance.
This is actually Ben Wallace's original intention.
He knew that Woody's family was not very good, but he didn't want to do bad things with good intentions, so he was ready to reimburse Woody for all the food and lodging here.
As for the air ticket, it is not a problem, it is only 300 kilometers from Akron to Detroit, and the air ticket is still very cheap, and it will be solved for more than ten or twenty dollars.
"Christmas Eve" was spent beautifully, and the "Christmas War" arrived.
This is the characteristic of the NBA, because on this day, only the NBA has a game in the four major sports leagues in the United States, and it is a day of family reunion, so the attention has always been very good.
Even the sidelines of Auburn Hills Palace looked more starry than usual.
Of course, compared with the sideline tickets of Staples, which big-name stars can't ask for, the sideline tickets of Auburn Hills Palace are relatively "cheap", especially the sideline tickets of these stars, which are all increased votes sent out by the management on the initiative to call.
As a result, you can see that there are a few seats on the sidelines that are not full until the game is about to start.
It's not that no one buys tickets for these locations, but the tickets that are given out, and people accept them, but they don't come!
Woody also belongs to the sideline ticket that is given away, so his place is right in the middle of this group of stars.
This made Wu Erzhuang very excited, next to him was the famous movie star Judy Greer, and next to him were also stars who can only be seen on TV. He suddenly became nervous, and sat like a pins and needles, like a thorn in his back, like a fish in his throat, as if he had stepped on a landmine, and did not dare to move.
Woody is relatively normal, in the past three or four months, he has not been interviewed a hundred times, that is about the same, gradually familiar with the camera, and there is no sense of crampedness.
But he was completely shocked by the atmosphere of the scene.
The crowd of more than 10,000 was completely full, and all kinds of cacophony filled his eardrums.
Especially when the home team players played, the cheers were simply ......
The home of St. Mary's High School is nothing compared to this.
And as far as Woody knows, Detroit fans aren't fanatical fans!
Thinking that he would play on such a stage in the future, Woody's "star disease" gradually became restless.
I can't control it, I can't control it at all!
He's a bit desperate for the NBA......
Towards the start of the game, the empty seat next to Woody finally arrived:
It doesn't look very tall, but the long black dress makes her whole figure look bumpy, and a big wave and a pair of sunglasses that cover half of her face make Woody can't really see her face, but this bright red lip is particularly eye-catching.
And when she took off her sunglasses, what stood out more than her bright red lips was her amorous eyes.
Woody knew very well that the other party looked at him and did not discharge, but was curious, but those blue eyes seemed to have their own charm, fortunately Woody dodged quickly, otherwise something would have to happen.
Call~
Woody knew very well that this was a woman who would affect his speed.
The DJ on the scene introduced the big star on the sidelines at this time, and Woody soon learned the woman's name:
Megan Fox.
What Woody didn't expect was that the live DJ actually introduced his name, and the words were extremely exaggerated:
"The super genius of St. Mary's High School, the sun that LeBron James can't hide, Woody~"
Wu Erzhuang didn't expect his eldest nephew to be so good-looking, so he rushed to him to rub the camera and looked at himself on the big screen...... Although Wu Erzhuang always knew that his nephew was now in the newspaper every day, it was not until this moment that he really had the true sense that his nephew was a star.
Wuhu~
Takeoff!
Woody found that Megan Fox threw a curious look at him again, and smiled generously, Megan Fox probably didn't expect Woody to take the initiative to launch an "attack" on her, and responded with a shallow smile, like Ume-chan~
Ben Wallace came to high-five Woody before the game and asked him how he felt watching the game.
Woody nodded, "Very good!" ”
"Do you feel the urge to get into the NBA as soon as possible?"
Ben Wallace couldn't help but reveal his true thoughts. Fortunately, Woody didn't think much about it, but nodded and said honestly: "I even want to play tonight!" ”
"Hahaha!"
Ben Wallace smiled delightfully as he listened to Woody's words.
It's not in vain.
He must have hoped that Woody would have run for the election next summer, otherwise the Pistons would not have had a chance to draft Woody next year.
It's just that this thing developed as he hoped, and the Pistons fell into passivity from the beginning of tonight's game.
No matter how Rick Carlisle adjusts, the Pistons can't limit the opposing core players, Tracy McGrady, the current NBA "scoring champion" this season.
Woody was also a little surprised to see him "kill and kill" in the Pistons' defensive formation.
He looked at this guy before the game and felt like he hadn't woken up.
I didn't expect to be on the court......
Although I still feel like I haven't woken up for a while, this chic and handsome style of play has opened Woody's eyes.
Later, Woody learned that this guy is also one of the top physically gifted players in the NBA.
Of course, the fact that you play well really has nothing to do with physical talent.
Let's just call Woody "brother", my mother is the one who is Woody's "fan brother", this talent is really explosive, and the action of playing ball is really stiff. Fortunately, he looks domineering, and the dunk staged is also deterrent enough, and the nickname "Little Emperor" can still be held.
The first half ended quickly, and the Pistons trailed by eight points, which was not a small margin. Big Ben wasn't in the mood to chat with Woody anymore and walked dejectedly towards the home team's tunnel with his head down.
He called Woody to come, not to let him come and see this.
It is also because the Pistons are lagging behind, and during the halftime break, the atmosphere on the scene is very dull.
Even if the common interactive program "kiss when you get it" is launched!
Several sets of shots of men and women kissing in the same frame in a row successfully made the atmosphere of the scene hilarious again. But this live DJ is obviously addicted to playing, and in the next set of shots, he is directly aimed at the audience on the sidelines.
Coincidentally, Megan Fox appeared on the big screen in the same frame as Woody.
Since they are all celebrities, the scene was stimulated at once, and the shouts of "kiss, kiss" were exceptionally unified.
Woody turned his head to look at Megan Fox next to him in embarrassment, wanting to see how she reacted, only to see that the latter's fox-like face was also looking at him.
"Is this your first kiss?" She could see Woody's crampedness.
Woody thought to himself for a moment about Megan Fox's question.
Don't say it, it's true!
may also be because I have never experienced such a thing as a man and woman, so I am a little at a loss.
The first time, it's like this!
"Then I'll earn it!"
Saying that, Megan Fox took the initiative to lean over, and Woody's "first time" was dedicated.
A shallow smile like Megan Fox of Ume Sauce, her lipstick, tastes minty.
