After the interview, Anthony and Su Xi walked side by side to the locker room.
"Jack, you have to keep a low profile in the future. The NBA is not the NCAA. Every player in this league was once a figure in the NCAA, and everyone's overall talent is no worse than TJ Ford. If you are so high-profile, it is easy to be targeted."
Carmelo Anthony is an arrogant person, but now he reminds Susie to be cautious and low-key.
Susie smiled and said, "That's why I said that."
"Why? Everyone in the NBA is a genius, and you still say that?" Anthony was puzzled.
Su Xi thought to herself, if the genius of the NBA is not a crucian carp crossing the river, I won't say anything. If they want to punish me, then hurry up, I don't want it. I leave my talent fusion to them.
"Because I like to compete with geniuses." Su Xi answered seriously.
Anthony was shocked. He thought Su Xi was just talking, but he didn't expect that he really liked confronting geniuses so much.
What kind of state is this?
Is this the legendary 'face fear, conquer fear, become fear'?
Jack's state of mind was too much stronger than mine.
No wonder it's progressing so quickly.
Carmelo Anthony looked at Su Xi with admiration in his eyes, and Su Xi's image in his heart became bigger and bigger.
When they were about to arrive in the locker room, they ran into LeBron James and Allen Iverson, who were chatting with TJ Ford.
Anthony and Su Xi walked over and greeted them.
Everyone was very enthusiastic, except for TJ Ford, who had just been beaten up, and his expression was a little unnatural. However, Su Xi walked straight over. He did not take the 'grievances' on the court to the off court. He took the initiative to reach out his hand and high-five TJ Ford.
TJ Ford is still a little awkward, awkward, and unnatural.
Su Xi had already begun to praise him: "TJ, you are so fast. Your explosive power and speed are so powerful. Can you take me to train in the future?"
Um?
It was unexpected by everyone.
They all feel that young people like Su Xi, who just defeated TJ Ford on the court, should be arrogant off the court. But Su Xi sincerely praised TJ Ford and hoped that TJ Ford would take him to train.
This made TJ Ford a little embarrassed, and he thought to himself: I am too small.
"Okay. Let's find an opportunity to practice in the future." TJ Ford smiled.
"When?" Su Xi asked seriously, "Are you free tomorrow?"
ah?
This time, TJ Ford was stunned. He thought he was just being polite, but he didn't expect Su Xi to be serious.
TJ Ford scratched his head subconsciously. He was moved by Su Xi's true feelings. He even felt a little guilty: Jack was so sincere, but I was so perfunctory. Not good, not good.
Then he also said sincerely: "Jack, I will announce my participation in the draft later. I have a lot of interviews tomorrow, and I have to start preparing for the trial training, and I have to go back to school to go through some procedures. So, during this period, ...I can’t even train with you. In the future, we will enter the NBA together and there will be plenty of opportunities.”
Su Xi showed a regretful expression.
He went on to wish TJ Ford: "Come on, I believe you will be selected with a high pick. You are really the fastest and most explosive guard I have seen this season. Your passing is also very good, and you will achieve success in the NBA." successful."
TJ Ford was very touched and said: "Thank you Jack. You are such a kind man. You will also be successful in the NBA."
He also opened his arms and hugged Su Xi.
Then, saying goodbye to everyone, he was going to meet with his agent to discuss what kind of speech he would use to announce his participation in the draft.
Su Xi waved and watched him leave.
The three people next to him looked at Su Xi and were a little stunned.
None of them expected that Su Xi would be so "open-minded" off the court, like a hero in a kung fu movie, giving sincere encouragement after defeating others.
Especially James, he was the most shocked.
He thought to himself: He is a violent tiger on the court and a low-key gentleman off the court. This is the teammate I want. Do the dirty work for me on the court, but keep a low profile off the court and don't steal the limelight. Is there anything better than Jack?
"Jack, let's train together if we have a chance." James offered him an olive branch.
Su Xi's eyes showed surprise. James is the person with the best talents scanned by the elf, and he has four super talents. Coupled with his height, wingspan and weight, he is simply a basketball machine.
"Okay. When?" Su Xi's eyes lit up.
"After the draft." James said: "But you can also go to the NBA team with me for trial training. How about I reimburse your air tickets?"
James is very good at winning people's hearts, and ordinary people really can't stand his sincerity.
Su Xi thought for a while and said, "I have to discuss this with my agent. Besides, I think it's not good to use your money."
James did not expect that Su Xi would decline. Go to trial training with the chosen one, and the chosen one will reimburse you for your air tickets. This is a benefit that others can only dream of. Think about how much media exposure you will get by staying with the Chosen One, which is something you don't get by staying with Melo. Mero's management team is not good at all, and his relationship with the media is also very ordinary. Not like me….
While James was still surprised, Su Xi started talking to Iverson.
He was full of gratitude to Iverson, and his tone was full of respect.
And he also asked Iverson: "Will training camp be held in the summer? Do you train in the summer?"
Iverson said: "I never train during the offseason, but I will go to China to participate in brand training camp activities."
Su Xi was slightly disappointed.
At this time, Iverson suddenly called a staff member next to him: "Hey, Mike, come here. What do you think of this kid? He is also Chinese and a defender. He is about to participate in the draft. He has just completed a game. Beautiful game. I think your brand should consider bringing him along and let’s go to China together.”
The man Iverson called was the marketing director of Reebok, and he came over to see TJ Ford. Rice, the co-agent of Iverson and T.J. Ford, wanted a bundle deal to get Reebok to sign Ford.
But as this game progresses.
Mike didn't take a fancy to Ford, he took a fancy to Su Xi. Even if Iverson didn't call him, he planned to contact Su Xi tonight.
Especially...after he just saw Su Xi's conversation with TJ Ford, James, and Iverson.
He is very sure that this guy will be a star player and will cause a sudden increase in sneaker sales.
First of all, he is very handsome and charming, and this charm kills both men and women.
Secondly, he is a defender, and his ball control ability is very good. When he changes direction, everyone will see a close-up of his sneakers.
Furthermore, he is Chinese, the Chinese market is very huge, and the Asian market is becoming the fastest growing place for sneakers in the world. They took down Yao Ming and were worried about the lack of a defender, so Su Xi came to the door.
Finally, Su Xi's conversation just now showed that he is a humble, confident, unwilling to be inferior to others, but also a proactive and hard-working person.
In his conversation with TJ Ford, he took complete control. He was strong, confident, humble, tolerant, and very charming.
Talking to James, he showed his independent thinking ability and independent personality, proving that he was unwilling to be second to others and unwilling to match James, and went to try out with him to become a bound supporting role, even if James was the superior chosen one.
Talking to Iverson shows that he is interested in the Reebok training camp and that he works hard. He always thinks about training and training. This is in sharp contrast to Iverson.
Therefore, Reebok does not want to miss such a high-quality potential stock.
"Hello, Jack. I'm Mike Blount, Reebok's global marketing director and vice president. I have an endorsement deal I want to talk to you about." Mike Blount got straight to the point.
However, Su Xi refused. He said: "Hello Mike, nice to meet you. But I hope you talk to my agent about this matter. I have to focus on the game now. Moreover, I am still an NCAA player, so it is not convenient for me to do so." Such a business meeting.”
This rejection surprised Iverson, James, and Anthony.
They all know that Mike Blount is very high-level and he can decide a lot of things.
Moreover, he took the initiative to talk about the price. How many NCAA players can get sneaker endorsement contracts? Getting a sneaker endorsement contract means that you are not only a star player in the NCAA, but also a star player worth looking forward to in the NBA. It will be of great help in advertising and promotion in the future.
However, Su Xi refused directly.
However, instead of being angry, Mike Blount smiled even wider. He stretched out his hand and shook Su Xi's hand. He praised in his heart: Jack is really a person who knows the rules. We should cooperate with people who know the rules. Moreover, he only thinks about basketball. I like players who are not focused on anything else.
His inner evaluation of Su Xi has reached a higher level.
However, he still made a little joke. He asked Su Xi: "Don't you want to know how big a contract I have prepared for you?"
Su Xi smiled and said something that shocked everyone: "I'm not interested in money."
"I just love playing basketball."
"Everything you gain has to be paid for. And I think when I play basketball well enough, it should be up to me how much I pay."
"Really? Mike."
Susie asked Mike Blount in return.
Blount is an experienced negotiator who has met with many top sports stars. But he has never seen such a strong aura as Su Xi in any rookie. Even the elites in the business world do not have this kind of aura.
Su Xi's rhetorical question even made his language get stuck.
"Uh... yes. Of course, Jack. You are right. You have greatly increased my interest in you. Can you please leave your agent's contact information?" Blount said.
"Okay. I'll give you my agent's phone number next time we meet." Su Xi smiled.
Mike Blount laughed too.
The three people next to him looked at each other in shock.
They opened their eyes.
When Jack does this, why does Mike Blount respect him more and more?
Everyone is strong-willed.
Mike Blount has regarded Suhi as the highest level among this year's rookies, and the other two highest levels are right next to him: Anthony and James.
As for why Su Xi is so aura.
Four words.
If you have no desires, you will be strong!
How can a person who is assisted by a basketball elf and thinks of himself as a quasi-basketball god in his heart be made to grovel after being solicited by you with just one or two kind words?
There's no need for that.
