In the end, Su Xi did not choose to customize it. He did not have time to measure and measure again and again. For him, it was a hard job, and he did not like the style of Anthony and James' large suits that were like the godfathers of street hip-hop.
He turned around and went to Armani to buy a suit. It was very slim and highlighted his perfect figure. The beautiful shopping guide's eyes were straightened. Su Xi swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva when she saw her. It was obvious that she was lusting after Su Xi's body. .
O'Connor, who was next to her, told Su Xi: "Boss, based on my understanding of women, she has a D cup. As long as you give her a phone number, she will come to your door at night."
Su Xi said, you'd better shut up.
O'Connor is very knowledgeable.
Susie purchased a suit and then had O'Connor custom-make a special jersey.
Then, he returned to the hotel. Interviewed by China Central Television.
CCTV reporters attach great importance to Su Xi. Su Xi's participation in the 2003 draft was a grand event for Chinese sports.
Everyone expects this Chinese defender, who has high hopes, to be selected with a high pick.
However, it is worth mentioning that the national men's basketball team refused to recruit Su Xi to the national team. They claimed that there were still some formalities to be completed.
When Su Xi heard the news, he said he understood.
In fact, Huang Xiaoman had already told him that some people from the basketball association wanted Su Xi to provide some sponsorship.
Last year, it took a lot of effort for Yao Ming to join the NBA. The Rockets paid a lot of training fees and made many promises about Yao Ming returning to China to play. Only then was he allowed to go.
But for Su Xi, they can't say that they have any training, so they can only do it in the name of sponsorship. Su Xi declined the offer. [In the 2003 class, a player named Xue Yuyang actually participated in the draft and was selected by the Mavericks with the 57th overall pick. But he was not released in the end. The reason is: participating in the draft without permission. 】
Domestic fans are very concerned about Su Xi. Su Xi answered all questions from CCTV reporters with a smile.
These are all general questions.
At the end of the interview, the reporter brought greetings from Yao Ming. Yao Ming had returned to China to prepare for the national team competition. He recorded a video to congratulate Su Xi on his impressive achievements in the 2003 draft.
Su Xi thanked this pioneer who made such a big name in the NBA by breaking prejudices for yellow people, Asian people, and Chinese people.
After finishing the interview and turning off the camera, the CCTV reporter team couldn't help but gossip with Su Xi. They asked Su Xi: "Xiao Su, where do you think you will be selected? There are different opinions outside. Last month they said you could only be selected with the 20th overall pick, and now they say you can be selected with the 12th or 3rd overall pick." Picked first.”
Su Xi shook his head, he really didn't know.
Things are chaotic now.
We can only take one step at a time.
At this time, the reporter took out a piece of paper with some draft predictions written on it, as well as analysis from domestic netizens. He said to Su Xi: "Domestic netizens and experts hope that you will be selected with the 567th pick."
"The Miami Heat are currently rebuilding. They are all young players. Although there are some outside players. But if you go there, you will still have many opportunities. Their point guards are Anthony Carter and Mike James, and they can't compete with you."
"The Clippers with the sixth pick are also good, and domestic fans like them very much. They say that the Clippers' lineup is actually good, with Brand inside and Maggette on the outside. Andre Miller at the point guard position is making a fuss. If you want a big contract, you may leave this summer, and you can start directly when you go there. And it's still Los Angeles, a big ball market."
"The Chicago Bulls with the seventh pick are even better. They have completed the reconstruction of the interior. The twin towers of Tyson Chandler and Eddy Curry are trustworthy. Moreover, an unfortunate news happened last week. Jay Williams, the point guard drafted second overall during the season, suffered serious injuries while riding a motorcycle..."
When the reporter said this, Su Xi was surprised.
He quickly asked: "What's going on?"
Jay Williams is actually an old friend of his. Jay Williams was the New Jersey High School Basketball Mr. before Reggie Williams. He was one year older than Susie. In his senior season, Suhi, Reggie and Scott swept his team, and Suhi also knocked off Williams in the game.
At that time, his name was Jason Williams, the same name as the NBA's White Chocolate, and some people said he was called Dark Chocolate. Later, he changed his name from Jason to Jay and went to Duke. Reggie kept joking that he decided to change his name because he was embarrassed by Su Xi.
Su Xi was surprised to hear the news.
He quickly asked Huang Xiaoman to check the computer.
When he saw the news report, he could not hide the sadness on his face. The news showed: On June 19, the Yamaha YZF-R6 motorcycle driven by Jay Williams crashed into Belmont Avenue and Honor near Roscoe Village. Streetlights at the intersection of Ray Street. Williams was not wearing a helmet and did not have a license to ride a motorcycle in Illinois, and his actions on the motorcycle violated the terms of his contract with the NBA Bulls. Williams' injuries included a fractured pelvis, severed major nerves in his leg and three torn ligaments in his left knee, including his anterior cruciate ligament. He needed lengthy physical therapy to regain use of his leg.
Seeing this news, Su Xi knew that Jay's career was scrapped.
Su Xi was in no mood to continue gossiping and discussing draft news with reporters. The news about Jay Williams made him think of many sad things.
…
LeBron James came to the hotel where Susie was staying later in the evening. When he saw Susie, he gave him a very warm hug. "Hey, Jack, you've been very popular recently. I heard that you won Banks $50,000 in Chicago. This couldn't be better! You are the first rookie to get a salary in the NBA."
Su Xi patted James on the head: "You are the first. You have received an unprecedented $92 million sneaker sponsorship contract. Arenas said that next time I see you, I will kick your ass."
James smiled happily, he liked the compliment. He was very obsessed with words like 'first' and 'unprecedented', and Su Xi had already picked up on his pulse.
"You're not bad. I heard that Nevada Farm Tractor has reached a cooperation with you. If I go to Nevada next time, I will definitely buy two tractors to support you." James has a strong ability to grasp information.
Susie touched the back of his head again and said, "Let's talk about business, LeBron."
Then, James began to complain: "The old guys on the Cavaliers are so shameless."
Ever since the Cavaliers won the No. 1 pick, their owner has clearly chosen James. The media is already wildly anticipating that the chosen son James will lead his hometown team to the highest glory. Ohio State is even more like a scene of people celebrating and waiting for the arrival of the savior.
However, it also caused dissatisfaction among some players.
For example, the team's current boss Ricky Davis and talented forward Darius Miles.
Although Ricky Davis did not speak publicly in the media, his private conversations reached James' ears. Davis said to a friend in private: Now everyone is bragging about that high school student, but when he comes to the Cavaliers, he will understand who is the boss.
This sentence made James very angry, and he complained to Su Xi. "Who does he think he is? Kobe Bryant? Or Tracy McGrady? He only got 20.6 points, 5.5 assists and 5 rebounds last season. I can surpass him in my first season. Besides, I will not be like him. That's a deliberate triple-double in the game."
Su Xi quietly acted as a listener.
Then, James started complaining about Darius Miles.
Darius Miles is also a high school genius. He is tall, long-armed and has excellent athletic ability. He is called the next Kevin Garnett. He was also very popular when he was in high school. He was Mr. Basketball of the United States in 2000, a McDonald's All-American, and Mr. Basketball in Illinois. The limelight lasted forever.
He was selected with the third overall pick by the Clippers in 2000 and was selected to the All-Rookie First Team, setting a new record for a high school player.
Last season, he was traded to the Cavaliers by the Clippers, and the Cavaliers paid All-Star point guard Andre Miller as a bargaining chip.
After arriving with the Cavaliers, although he did not become a star player immediately, he continued to make pleasing progress.
He made it clear in an interview last week: "You shouldn't say that he is here to lead the team, he should join our team. It is a bit outrageous to expect a high school genius to save the team. The higher the expectations, the higher the disappointment. . I hope LeBron can correct his mentality."
LeBron James was offended by those remarks.
He said to Su Xi: "This guy always wants to compare his failure experience with me. He doesn't like me and will trade him sooner or later. He and I are not the same type at all. He only had 9.2 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.6 assists last season. 1.0 blocks, 1.0 steals. I can surpass him in my first season."
James shows a keen sense of Excel.
Su Xi quietly listened to him finish these complaints, without echoing him or comforting him.
He knew that James just needed a tree hole.
"When will you challenge me one-on-one?" Su Xi asked James.
This is the most important thing to Su Xi.
Because James is different from other talented players, Su Xi has only played against James once, but that feeling is unprecedented. He feels that all the talents in his body are being driven... and it does not require James to be particularly excited, and the integration speed increases. Very quickly.
This time in Chicago, although Arenas also has multiple super talents, he did not bring such a particularly strong sense of integration to Su Xi.
And when Arenas faced off against him, his mood was very calm, even a little bit laughing. This makes the fusion effect very poor. Except for the rapid improvement on the first day, it was very dull after that.
Every time Su Xi fuses to improve acceleration, the super-talented person on the opposite side is often angry.
As of now, Susie's talent list is.
Super explosive talent. (92 increased to 94, close to super talent.)
Super strength talent. (93.)
Super flexible talent. (95, entering the realm of super talent.)
Super speed talent. (80 is raised to 86, entering the top talent field.)
Excellent jumping talent. (75 increased to 76.)
Elite coordination talent. (71.)
Elite agility talent. (74.)
Excellent physical talent. (75. Blood recovery speed is super fast.)
Average value is 83. If you only look at the average, it is relatively average in the NBA. But in several key values, Su Xi is relatively outstanding, so we can't just look at the average.
"Jack, I'm going to criticize you."
LeBron James said: "You can't just think about one-on-one. What does it mean to be strong in one-on-one? Basketball is a multiplayer game. You must pay attention to teamwork. You must learn to let your teammates selflessly cooperate with your style of play, so that... That’s the way to win.”
"Jack, are you ready to play ball with me?"
James finally asked suddenly: "Also, don't touch my head often. Although it is very comfortable, it will make me look like a puppy."
Su Xi smiled, and he touched James' short hair like a steel brush twice, and said: "I am always ready to challenge you."
"Fuck you! Sooner or later you will become a player like Kobe." James complained.
Su Xi rolled her eyes at him. Is Kobe bad?
He touched the top of James' head: "I told Kobe, you are finished."
James laughed quickly and said, "You won't tell him. You and I are good friends and good partners."
This guy's emotional intelligence goes up and down.
Su Xi couldn't even figure him out.
They chatted for a while, and James' agent called. He was going to attend a high-society dinner in New York.
He invited Su Xi to come with him, but Su Xi refused.
Because he has made an appointment with Huang Xiaoman, he will strengthen the confrontation tonight to see if he can improve his super flexibility talent.
"Men should still put their career first." Su Xi touched James' head and told him.
James said: "I am just going to work hard for my career. Basketball is not everything. Do you understand?"
Su Xi said: "I don't understand."
"Then I'll teach you some business knowledge."
With that said, James left.
After a while, Mike O'Connor called. He said: "Boss, Jerry Krause, the general manager of the Bulls, wants to meet you. He has the seventh pick this year and he seems very sincere. He is downstairs in the hotel."
Su Xi thought for a while and said, "Let's meet him then. You can ask him to come up in 30 minutes."
"By the way, boss, I have already secured three pay channels, and they agreed to broadcast our edited video at 12 o'clock tonight." Mike O'Connor said.
"Yeah. Okay." Su Xi nodded and said, "I can rest assured that you can do the work."
O'Connor's heart felt like honey, and he was extremely happy.
Then he turned around, put on a arrogant posture, and said to the fat Jerry Kraus: "You wait here for 30 minutes, and then go up to see my boss. Also, wear your tie straighter. My boss doesn’t like slovenly and arrogant people.”
Um?
Jerry Krause's assistant frowned, and he was a little angry: Is there anyone more arrogant than you?
After O'Connor finished speaking, he walked to the other side. He admired the New York girls coming and going with an artistic eye. He admired in his heart: New York is indeed a well-established big city, with connotation and heritage. The cups are larger than those in Los Angeles.
"Boss, do we really want to see this little sheep Susie? He is too self-righteous." The assistant said to Jerry Krause.
Klaus smiled and said: "The more arrogant a person is, the more capable he is. What's wrong with that?"
Klaus straightened his tie, making it meticulous. He recalled the scene when Michael Jordan pointed at his nose and scolded him, and his nose twitched.
