"Buzz... buzz..."
"Uh... what... cell phone? It's not mine, Noah, Noah, your phone..."
Sun Ce was woken up by the girl next to him, opened his eyes with difficulty, turned on the desk lamp, and turned his head to see the shaking mountains...
After handing the phone to Sun Ce, the girl next to him fell on the bed and continued to sleep.
"Who..."
After Sun Ce took the phone, he used his other hand to rub the slumped upside down jade bowl with protruding red dots, and looked at the caller ID...
Note is the old man! Sober up instantly!
"Ahem..." Sun Ce cleared his throat, then yawned, and connected the phone in the same dazed voice he remembered: "Old man, ah... what is Yagami doing calling early in the morning... "
"You bastard is finally promising, it's all on the news, work hard in the United States, you old man, my face is finally bright, I don't want to tell you, I'm still drinking with your grandpa... Duh beep..."
The head contractor who was obviously drunk on the other side finished talking a lot by himself and hung up the phone without giving Sun Ce a chance to react.
The conversation in this family is really... Sun Ce never thought that the conversation between his predecessor and this cheap dad would be like this!
After being dazed for a while, Sun Ce crazily complained: "I'm a bitch, what kind of father are you?"
This was the first time Sun Ce talked to his father in this world. Although the other party sounded uneducated and directly vulgar, Sun Ce felt the pride from the other party's heart!
It may be that the previous Sun Ce really didn't let his parents worry about it. There is still a clear difference between a nouveau riche and a rich second generation. Sun Ce's current cheap father can only be regarded as a nouveau riche. He took a smart wife. In the 90s I opened a hot pot restaurant with the money I earned from the construction site. Now that I have money, I don’t know how to teach my children. They only give money, and they only beat them when they make mistakes.
However, this is already the greatest love that this uneducated father can give him, and this is the best thing that this father can give in his world.
Sun Ce felt a layer of mist in his eyes, and shook his head vigorously to wake himself up a little.
"Tch, I'm sure I'll be successful..."
Press this fragile state of mind to the bottom of my heart and stop thinking about these things. As a man, I can't be so sentimental all the time, let alone there is a girl next to me.
After being selected last night, brother Teddy came directly to Madison Square Garden to pick up Sun Ce, and went to the famous colorful nightclub in New York together.
The Knicks are very popular in New York. Although their fans are very special, their popularity has always been very high. The NBA Draft is held at Madison Square Garden, which is also the pride of New York sports fans.
Sun Ce was just selected. Although most fans don't know him, but now they know that even if it is a second-round pick, there are only 30 in a year, and there is a market in places like nightclubs.
In the nightclub, Sun Ce and John were not allowed to drink, but Sun Ce took away a Hispanic white American girl, and John had a strong taste, so he took away a black pearl, and the two girls brought wine back to the hotel to drink...
Looking at the teeth marks on the upper body of the sleeping woman next to him, Sun Ce fell into deep thought.
Sun Ce himself doesn't know why he likes to bite women after he's drunk...
Looking at the ripped three small square pouches on the bedside table, it's safe...
However, Sun Ce still has a question: "What is this girl's name? Lisa? Ellie? Or who?"
...
After a lapse of two years, a Chinese player was selected by the NBA again, and he was a guard!
"Sun Ce, 19 years old, an international student at the University of Phoenix, is 192 centimeters tall and weighs 81 kilograms. His physical measurement speed ranks second among rookies this year, second only to Ty Lawson. 21 points and 10 assists..."
There is very little information,
When the court sports channel broadcast this news, they couldn't find too much information about Sun Ce. They could only report all of Sun Ce's goals and assists in the Suns' final game, as well as rebounds and steals...even a turn around on the court. The screens of the cool and unrestrained looking back at that time were all cut in...including some screens of the 666 training video that had a certain influence in the domestic basketball forums and basketball portals before, and it was enough to make up the 5-minute introduction screen.
A Chinese player is selected, even if it is the second round, it will undoubtedly be the headlines of major websites.
Sun Ce's father doesn't know how to surf the Internet, and smartphones are not so convenient and simple now. When Sun Ce became an Internet celebrity, his father didn't know, but his mother reminded him. It wasn't until now that he was on the TV news. I know my son is so powerful.
At present, the influence of TV news is still much stronger than that of Internet news.
Perhaps because of Sun Yue's poor performance in the NBA and Yi Jianlian's mediocre performance, Sun Ce was selected in the second round. Domestic fans no longer feel how good he is, but some fans still have expectations for Sun Ce.
The main reason is the sense of mystery, so mysterious that fans in their own country don't know where this guy came from...
...
...
In the United States, a second-round pick does not cause much news, and everyone's attention is on the top players. Sun Ce probably attracted the attention of fans in the Bay Area and students of the University of Phoenix.
Domestically, since Sun Yue has been laid off, people in the country have an impression that "China's outsiders can't beat the NBA".
This has something to do with the consciousness of the Chinese people. I feel that if I fall into the second round, it must not be good.
Saying goodbye to the Hispanic girl whose name she didn't remember after spending the night in Spring Festival, Sun Ce came to the hotel in Manhattan where Bill Duffy and Evans were staying.
Looking at the 17 partners who participated in the draft together, and now there are only three left, Sun Ce felt the cruelty of the professional basketball world!
Sun Ce himself was selected by the Warriors with the 54th overall pick, Evans was selected by the Kings with the 4th overall pick, AJ Price was selected by the Pacers with the 52nd overall pick, and Earl Clark was selected by the Suns with the 14th overall pick in the first round. Bill Duffy is already very satisfied with four rookies being selected. This time, four of the 18 players he brought were selected, which is already a very high success rate.
The draft is over, and they were not selected by the same team. The two former opponents, Sun Ce and AJ-Price, now have no hostility and simply got to know each other.
Bill Duffy gave the four new members of the company selected by the NBA what to pay attention to when going to the new team, and specially arranged for Evans, AJ-Price, and Earl Clark to be in charge of their big team. The exclusive agents for most of the business asked Evans, AJ-Price, and Clark to follow their respective exclusive agents to the hotel or room where the management team of the team that selected them is currently located, and left Sun Ce behind.
Bill Duffy really didn't expect Sun Ce to be selected by the Warriors with the 54th overall pick!
When the Suns drafted Tyler Griffin, Bill Duffy thought Sun Ce had lost hope of being drafted.
Who knew that the Warriors, who traded the seventh overall pick in the second round for two mid-to-late second-round picks this year and next year, actually picked Sun Ce in the second round after selecting a point guard in the first round!
In this way, Sun Ce's position in Bill Duffy's agency is very different.
Although there have been disappointing precedents like Sun Yue, Chinese players are very different in the eyes of NBA agents!
After everyone else had left, a man in a suit came to Bill Duffy's room.
"Noah, congratulations on being selected by the Warriors. This is a lawyer from the New York Bar Association. Here is the contract I prepared for you a long time ago..."
Bill Duffy took out the contract, and that lawyer can be regarded as a witness, and can also be regarded as Sun Ce's consulting lawyer.
This is a very common thing between NBA agents and players. It is very troublesome for players to contact lawyers themselves, so agents will help hire lawyers to help players read the terms of the contract.
It depends on the character of the agent, like the super power forward Tim Duncan of the Spurs has been cheated by the agent several times...
It is not easy to cooperate with an agent with good character. There are too many agents in American basketball. If you choose by yourself, you really don’t know who you will meet. The agent recommended by Yao Ming and Nash, Sun Ce is also very good. rest assured.
In the past two months, Bill Duffy has been very sincere. Even if he has a high probability of not being able to make it to the NBA, he has not treated him differently. Sun Ce is very grateful.
After the lawyer checked that there was no problem, Sun Ce happily signed his name and fingerprinted it.
"Pleasant cooperation."
"I think our cooperation will be very pleasant."
