…
There are still three days left before the NCAA finals, and Meng Lang's popularity has reached a higher peak.
All kinds of news about him are scattered across most of North America like the goose feathers of snow on Christmas Eve. ——Most of these places refer to all regions that pay attention to the NCAA.
It can also be said that everyone in the United States knows that there is such a Chinese freshman who is an incredible "star of tomorrow."
What is your favorite story about America?
A superhero-style Hollywood blockbuster, of course.
The story of an "ugly duckling" transforming into a "white swan" is their nourishment, just like marijuana, it is an inseparable thing in their lives.
Coming out of the slums, they need these stories to inspire them.
Maybe, the next "ugly duckling" will be themselves...
Meng Lang is now not only "Duke's dream", but also the "dream" of many Americans.
They aspire to be like Meng Lang, who went from being unknown to being famous all over the United States.
But there’s one thing many people don’t understand:
The reason why an "ugly duckling" can become a "swan" is that it itself is a "swan".
Without extraordinary talent, such a dream will never be realized in reality.
For Meng Lang, higher visibility did not bring him any actual benefits.
His draft pick has been stagnant since he entered the "lottery zone". His performance in these five games since "March Madness" has only made his foundation in the "lottery zone" more solid, and Didn't let him go any further.
Fortunately, he still has another chance:
The NCAA Finals is a bigger stage.
A good performance in this game will definitely make his reputation rise again.
Even if it only goes up one spot, that’s good!
He does not have the dynamic talent of a top superstar, nor does he have the ball-handling ability of Larry Bird. These are not problems in the NCAA, and even Old K can use team tactics to cover up many problems for him.
But the workouts before the draft are different. Those NBA bitches, especially those general managers of teams with high picks, pay more attention to dynamic and static talent, and then immediate combat ability.
If the pitch performance is not up to a certain level, they are unlikely to be impressed.
Of course, Meng Lang was talking about some general managers with mediocre abilities and vision. They were willing to believe the numbers in the trial training report and then select parallel imports one after another.
There are also some general managers who trust their own judgment more, but...
How to get these general managers to like him? Meng Lang knew that this NCAA finals was his last chance!
However, although the draft picks did not increase, Meng Lang encountered a very interesting thing:
His "new dad" actually found Duke.
Meng Lang was not surprised. He was quite clear about the current situation of his "new parents and new mother". ——As long as anyone wants to pay attention, they can always know his current situation through different methods.
His "new dad" was quite rich back then, but his life was not as satisfactory as it was in the past two years.
What did Lu Xun say?
Oh, by the way, things are changing!
Meng Lang knew at that time that the debt would be settled soon.
Sure enough, before the finals were over, his "new dad" came in a hurry.
"Xiao Lang, you have grown up!"
Meng Lang actually saw relief in his cousin's eyes.
The sense of absurdity made him chuckle softly, and he reached into his pocket and took out two checks that he had prepared long ago.
"Your mother also misses you very much. She also said that when you go back, she will make you your favorite seaweed and egg drop soup. Xiao Langqian must have remembered it. Your favorite soup at that time was this soup. Every day Your mother..."
His eloquent chatter came to an abrupt end with Meng Lang's movements.
"These two checks, one is the relief money you have given me every month for so many years, both are in it, and the other is 10,000 U.S. dollars. Apart from the money you gave to my dad, the rest is a thank you. Bring me to America, I'm doing well here."
Back then, his cousin spent 10,000 yuan, which was RMB.
Meng Lang paid back at least 6 to 7 times.
But what he told was not the truth. The extra money he gave was not to thank his cousin for bringing him to the United States, but to thank his cousin for bringing him to the United States. It was because during the time when he first came here, the two of them were really good to the original owner.
Although it was short-lived, Meng Lang remembered it.
Even for this love, he still has to give more.
In fact, if his "new dad" could let him finish the finals quietly, he would give him more.
such a pity!
Probably because I am afraid that it will be difficult to find him after the finals...
Still couldn't hold it back and came here stuck at this node.
"Xiaolang, you, you misunderstood, I'm not here..."
"There's one more thing..." Meng Lang interrupted the astonished "new dad" who was still trying to argue, "Cousin, it was actually illegal for you to do this to my dad back then. I was still young at that time. I understand these things now that I have grown up. I hope that we will all be well and not do things that make each other unhappy. After all, my cousin is still young, and you don’t want my cousin to be alone in the future. Taking care of the kids?"
These words were a critical blow, and Meng Lang, the cheap "new dad", suddenly turned pale.
He understood the threat in Meng Lang's words, or in other words, it was a naked threat, telling him not to use his own name to cheat or talk about him in front of the media.
"Also...I actually never like eating seaweed."
Putting two checks into his "new dad's" hand, Meng Lang turned and left without looking back.
"Where is the person?"
When he was almost home, Meng Lang called his nominal girlfriend Martha.
In about 20 minutes, Martha drove her new car, a Porsche 911, downstairs to his apartment, still in bright red. There is reason to suspect that she was just trying to find an excuse to change cars.
"What's wrong, you called me suddenly?" If I remember correctly, she usually took the initiative to contact Meng Lang. This was the first time Meng Lang took the initiative to call her. Martha's eyes were filled with joy.
"*you!"
Meng Lang's words were brief, and how roughly he treated Martha's clothes when he returned to the apartment.
Martha…
Enjoying all this, his eyes began to blur.
