Sushi put on a suit and asked the hotel to borrow a small meeting room. He then met with Jerry Krauss and his assistant Porter here.

The Bulls had to quickly adjust their draft schedule due to Jay Williams' serious injury, and they had intended to pick a shooting guard... If Dwyanwade, who is from Illinois, drops to the seventh pick, they won't hesitate to take it

But now, they're oscillating between three point guards: Simridge, T.J. Ford and Suhi.

Both Hinrich and Ford went to Chicago for tryouts, but Sushi didn't, even though he had been training in Chicago for nearly a month.

Klaus doesn't have a good relationship with Grover, and he can't get specific data from Grover. So, when they came to New York, they figured out how to find the phone number of Suhi's agent and then came to meet Suhi.

It's the equivalent of an interview.

But when they sat down, they found that the initiative was not in their hands.

It's more like... Suhey is interviewing them.

Suhi asks them about Jay Williams' injury.

Klaus replied: "It's a little more serious than what is reported on the news, it's not just career reimbursement, it's very likely that there is a significant deficit in the physical signs. ”

"The news says he's driving a motorcycle dangerously in violation of the terms of his contract, so it's possible that you're going to remove him from the list and not pay him the rest of the contract?" Suhi asked.

"Yes. We have the right to do so. "However, the boss has agreed to give him $3 million even if he leaves his contract behind, so that he can recover from the injury," Klaus said. ”

"Good."

Suhi smiled: "You did the right thing, and there will be a lot of players who will join you because of your tolerance and charity." ”

Klaus smiled too, and he said, "Are you friends with Jay?" I have the impression that you all grew up in New Jersey. ”

"No, we're not." Suhi shook his head, he recalled some memory images, and he said, "In fact, we used to be the most fierce opponents. He once threatened to eat my piece of 'sushi' in one bite. ”

Klaus raised an eyebrow. He said appreciatively, "I am glad for your kindness and integrity. ”

"But you're going to talk to me about that? When you meet me, you don't plan to fight for it, show your strengths, tell you about your experience. This should be us interviewing you. ”

Klaus asked Suhey.

Suhi said honestly, "The reason why I want to see you is because I care about Jay Williams. I don't have anything else to show. ”

"You don't like the Bulls, you don't want to play in Chicago?" Klaus asked Suhi, who stared into Suhi's eyes.

Suhi remained calm all the time. He sat there, not like an 18-year-old, he gave people a sense of calm that he had never felt before, like a calm sea, deep, mysterious, expansive, confident. The aura of composure emanating from him was fascinating, whether it was a man or a woman sitting across from him.

"I don't reject any option. It's not up to me. Suhi said: "I am a big fan of both dynasties of the Bulls. ”

Klaus stood up, he took the initiative to reach out his hand, and he said to Suhi: "I always feel that we can continue to deal with each other in the future, thank you for interviewing me." ”

He made a joke.

Suhi sent him out with a smile.

It was a brief meeting.

Assistant Porter said to Klaus after going out, "This guy doesn't seem interested in the Bulls. ”

"No, he's very interested in the bulls. However, he is very good at restraining his emotions. Otherwise there was no need for him to ask about Jay Williams. Klaus said confidently: "He's making sure of his chances of playing and the style of our team. He's a top smart guy. ”

"That's... Are we really going to pick him with the seventh pick? Potter asked.

Klaus hesitated.

The figure of Kok Sinrich has always been in his mind, and although he was defeated by Suhey in the NCAA Finals, Hinrich has a more mature and sophisticated style of play, and his playmaking talent is also very good.

Moreover, he is very unpretentious. He's never going to take risks, and after talented player Jay Williams drove dangerously and his career to an end, their entire management wanted a player who was more controlled.

Sushi is clearly difficult to control.

But he's really charming.

Kok Simrich is like the little girl next door with a plain face, and Suxi is like a plump and graceful, convex and juicy leopard sister.

It's really hard to choose.

After Klaus and the two left, Su Xi returned to the room, and he and Huang Xiaoman discussed the domestic advertising sponsorship situation for a while. Then, he couldn't help but lean towards Huang Xiaoman, and his hand began to rub to paste.

"Didn't you say that falling in love affects your play?"

"Now it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."

After a burst of whistling sounds... The house was filled with cheerful air.

…

Su Xi had a pleasant night, and Huang Xiaoman was in pain and happy.

The next day after he woke up.

Suxi's name is on the major basketball media, and there is a lot of discussion on the Internet.

Because Suhi's training video appeared on Channel 974, Channel 35 and Playboy-TV. All three are well-known adult channels.

Since 12 p.m. last night, every time they show a clip, they've shown a video of Suhey's basketball.

The tape includes Suhey winning the championship at Syracuse University, Suhee training alone at training camp in Chicago, and Suhee defeating Banks in the training camp.

The most important thing is that there is a mosaic in this Sushi promotional video!

Can you stand it? Mosaic!

Why is there a mosaic, Mike O'Connor said that he would take the tape to the TV station, and Suhey said to put a mosaic on the opposing player Banks.

Mosaic doesn't hit people haven't paid much attention, a dozen... Everyone knows who they are fighting.

And the appearance of this tape on the adult channel is a very good thing in itself.

Who would have thought that after watching a wonderful hand-to-hand fight, they would be able to watch a wonderful basketball promo?

"You can even see basketball on Playboy-TV, and David Stern should give Jack the Best Basketball Salesman award."

Suhi turned on the TV, he wanted to watch some draft news, after all, he was going to participate in the draft tomorrow.

Then, he saw the laughing commentators on TNT.

Kenny Smith said, "There's no doubt that it's a genius idea. I have a friend who opened Channel 974 last night when he was bored, and when he saw the basketball promo, he was stunned. He thought he was wrong... But there is no doubt that it is a genius feat. Suhee the Sheep, it's good, I... The friend remembered the name. ”

"This is the GOAT for the adult channel. I'm telling you, Michael Jordan has always wanted to be on the cover of Playboy, and he wants to show his sexy side. However, he never succeeded. Now that he sees Suhi the sheep, he is already very moved. Finally there was a basketball player who did what he didn't. Charles Barkley was also talking about his friend Jordan.

Only Earl Johnson is serious: "There's no doubt about it, it's a wonderful piece of propaganda. It surpasses a lot of players who go around amplifying words and provoking all kinds of NBA players. It was a perfect exposure to Jack's draft as his team once again proved to be adept at packing players and bridging the gap between players and the average fan. ”

"Don't underestimate this publicity. The majority of fans are midnight pay channel subscribers, and the more senior the fans, the more they pay. It's a vertical push to the basketball fan space. After this exposure, the name Suhi the Sheep surpassed his next 50+ in the NBA. ”

“……”

Suxi's phone rang, and he turned it on. It was Alan Goodwyn who sent it: "Jack, your team is too strong. It's an unprecedented case of promotion that goes straight to the depths of the fan base that no NBA star has ever thought of. That's more than the Nike team's promotional of LeBron's packaging in the last two weeks. ”

Forehead....

Suhi was stunned.

Half an hour later, he showed up in Mike O'Connor's room.

O'Connor was so excited that he said to Suhey, "Boss, look. I received an advertising offer from Durex. ”

Well?

Suhi didn't expect it.

"My friend told me that it worked so well that at least 10 million paying subscribers across the U.S. watched your basketball promo. Everyone remembers you well. ”

"Playboy would like to ask you to take a promotional photo and put it in their women's magazine. What do you think? Boss, did you do a good job this time? We get both the male and the female groups in one go. Mike O'Connor said smugly.

Sushi thought for a moment, and then he said, "Well, well done. ”

He forgot that he had come to blame O'Connor.

I have to say that this propaganda has indeed achieved a subversive effect.

When LeBron James saw Suhi again, he couldn't help but say to Susie: "Brother, why didn't you bring me with you for such a cool thing?" ”

Suhee reached out and touched his head. "You're the chosen one and shouldn't be associated with adult channels. It's not good for your image. ”

James thought seriously and nodded.

If Suhi had told him in advance and let him go along, he would definitely refuse. After all, who knew that such a good result could be achieved?

Moreover, the reason why Su Xi can achieve such good results is inseparable from his handsome appearance.

Viewers of adult channels are very picky about their looks.

Some viewers don't even look at the tattooed ones.

James's appearance appeared on the adult channel, and he could only play the role of a monster and put it in the hunting column.

"Tomorrow is the draft, are you nervous?" James asked Suhi.

Suhi said: "It's okay, not nervous. What about you? ”

"I've figured out what to say when the first one walks up." James said with a smile. Then he said to Suhi: "I think you should also prepare a speech on stage, preferably mentioning my name." There might be a surprise. ”

"You're such a stinky fart." Suxi gave James an angry look.

At this time, Wade and Anthony also came over.

The four of them met again, chatted happily, and joked for a while about Suxi's adult channel promo. Then the ambition of longing rose, James, Wade, and Anthony were full of energy, and they all believed that if they entered the NBA, they would be able to overturn the entire league, break the old pattern of decay, and establish a new order in the NBA.

In contrast, Sushi is still very low-key. He said: My goal now is to enter the league, fight against superstars and supertalents, and strengthen my own strength.

"You still want to be a genius finisher." Even Wade knew Suhey's name, and quipped, "Don't kill me, I'm not a genius." ”

If it weren't for the elves falling asleep, Suxi really wanted the elves to scan this 'Versailles'.

James' final word: "Brothers, the four of us must occupy four spots in the best rookie team in the new season." I believe we can do it. ”

…

At half past three in the afternoon of June 26, 2003, Su Xi wore a suit and walked into the Madison Garden Theater with Huang Xiaoman, Mike O'Connor and Qin Xing under the tracking and shooting of CCTV cameras.

Backstage, journalists are not allowed to enter. Suhey soon ran into Larry Bird, who secretly gave him a look hint that he was sure that something wonderful was going to happen tonight.

Suxi also nodded.

Before signing a sponsorship contract with Nike, he didn't actually consider joining a team other than the Pacers, he felt that the Pacers were very strong, and with himself, he would definitely win the championship in five years. Moreover, Bird's 'super distance talent' made him too greedy.

However, after Nike's contract was signed, Suxi began to feel that going to a strong team seemed to be detrimental to his personal development, strong teams all play the system, and if he did not have the energy beyond the system, it was easy to become an engineer player if he rashly joined a strong system.

And in the terms of the contract signed with Nike. Including the first season of the All-Rookie team, the first two seasons have been selected as the best player of the week three times, the first three seasons have been selected as an All-Star, and the first five seasons have been selected as the best player of the month four times.

To achieve these terms, it is not possible if it is only team players.

Therefore, after Su Xi entered the venue, he was inexplicably a little apprehensive.

He didn't know what would happen to his fate tonight.

Is it going to the Pacers, or is it going to another team?

Time is slowly passing, and some wars without gunpowder are also being fought.

For rookies like Suhi, this is a turning point for a carp to leap into the dragon gate.

It was also a big gamble for the NBA teams that chose them.

The decisions they make tonight will be judged by time in the future.

Who can pick the real jade, and who will be nailed to the pillar of shame and ridiculed.

The annual draft begins.
