"Hey, man, your performance just now is simply amazing." Jefferson said happily.

Arenas shouted, "Brother, you didn't see it. When you made three-pointers in a row, Bobby's face turned blue."

"Hahaha."

It feels great to have a buddy around.

......

"Sorry, I hope I didn't bother you."

A middle-aged man with a goatee came to Shentong and others.

"I have been watching next to you for a long time. I think if you are interested, you can go to our team to try out. I can arrange the right time for you."

The goat man handed over his business card.

New Jersey Nets, scout, Morry Hanks.

finally...

Shentong received the invitation to the first trial training company!

Surprisingly.

Arenas and Jefferson did not make Shenton's joke.

"I..." There was a hint of sob in Shentong's tone.

Arenas and Jefferson looked at Shenton quietly and smiling.

Relieve my emotions.

Shentong said firmly: "I do."

Hanks and Shentong kept AIMs with each other and agreed on an approximate trial time.

"I will send you a message on AIM tonight, please pay attention to check it."

"OK."

"If you have any questions, please call me anytime."

Shentong nodded.

at last.

"Mr. Shentong, I wish you success." Hanks said with a smile.

......

"Shen, you should treat me."

"Come on, isn't you enough to apply for it normally? This time it's your turn, Gilbert, you're firmly entering the top five lottery show."

"Ah, I remember, Richard, it seems you owe me a meal when you lost to me last time the bullfight."

"Nonsense!"

"When did I make a nonsense, Shin can testify."

"No, Shin, don't believe him. Gilbert must pay for it this time."

......

In a Mexican restaurant, Gilbert burped loudly.

The account settled by Shentong.

When Jefferson said "It's time to withdraw", Gilbert mysteriously took out two large exquisitely packaged boxes from his backpack.

Anomalous manifestations.

Shentong and Jefferson showed suspicious expressions.

But Arenas smiled and signaled the two to open and take a look.

With a nervous mood, Shentong slowly opened the gift box.

It's not a scary doll that pops up.

But...a necklace of pure gold.

What does this mean?

Shentong looked blankly at Jefferson who was hugging Arenas.

The other party directly put the big gold chain around his neck.

Forehead...

Shentong understood.

"Thank you, Gilbert."

Shentong also learned from Jefferson and hung the big gold chain around his neck.

It's a bit heavy, it seems to be solid, and shouldn't be cheap.

After hugging Arenas, Shentong asked: "Gilbert, where did you get the money you can afford to buy such a expensive... a gold necklace?"

"Hey, don't worry about this. Anyway, after the draft night, I'm a millionaire." Arenas said relaxedly.

Jefferson curled his lips. He originally wanted to say a few words, but for the sake of the Big Gold Chain...

Shentong knew that Arenas regarded himself and Jefferson as real buddies.

......

"Didi."

Shentong opens the phone.

[Hello, Mr. Shentong, I am Mory. On behalf of the New Jersey Nets, I sincerely invite you to have a draft trial at the Continental Airlines Arena on May 10 (this Thursday) at 2 pm. Please be sure to pay attention to the following points: 1. Please do not drink the night before the trial; 2,...]

[Received, see you there.]

"Hu..." Arenas had already snored.

"Richard, you both have basically locked in the lottery. What are your plans next?"

"I'm going to go back to the country for a while, you know, besides playing basketball, I like a quiet life," Jefferson said.

"Where is Gilbert?"

"I heard that he took on several shows, but I think he is more suitable to develop in the entertainment industry."

"Ha ha."

"I'm sleeping, good night, I'm exhausted during this period."

"Good night."

After a while, Jefferson's slight cry sounded.

Looking at the bright moon outside the window, Shentong couldn't sleep. He gently took out his phone and read the message Hanks sent several times.

......

"I'm back!"

"How is it, son?" Sister Hua quickly put down her words and ran over to ask.

A proud smile appeared on Shentong's face.

“I received an invitation to try out.”

Sister Hua's eyes smiled like crescent moons.

"I just said my son is sure to do it."

In the evening, Shentong looked at the unfamiliar dishes in front of him.

Steak, fried fish, fruit.

"Mom, are you?"

"This is a standard athlete meal, I made it according to the recipe, you can try it."

“…”

Shentong picked up the chopsticks and picked up the whole piece of steak.

Take a bite down.

All meat!

Full texture.

The delicious gravy immediately filled the entire mouth.

"This steak only uses a small amount of vegetable oil and a small amount of salt, but the taste is absolutely nothing." Sister Hua is full of confidence.

indeed.

It tastes much better than the "before" flavor.

"Very...delicious!"

On the opposite side, Shen Qing had already eaten half of the steak.

"Oh, every girl is from a family, be more polite to eat!" Sister Hua couldn't help but slap Shen Qing.

At this time, Lao Shen suddenly picked up the bowl and stood up.

Shentong, Sister Hua, and Shen Qing stopped at the same time and watched Lao Shen slowly walk to the TV.

“Shou~~”

Turn on the TV.

"The 58th American Golden Globe Awards ceremony is about to begin!"

The originally still sister Hua and Shen Qing seemed to be activated all of a sudden.

"Oh, it almost delayed the big thing!"

"you do not say."

The two of them clamped the bowl with vegetables, and then sat in a row with Lao Shen on the sofa.

"I don't know if Jessica can win the best actress."

"Who else can she have, her performance in the 'Black Angel of the End of the World' is simply amazing!"

Shentong: "..."

......

On May 10, the weather will be cloudy.

Continental Aviation Arena.

When Shentong came here, he realized that he was not the only one who came to try out today.

In the office, general manager Bernard King, coach Byron Scott and scout Morrie Hanks are checking the roster of four people coming to try out today.

Ken Johnson, 2.11 meters tall, center, Ohio State University.

Comment: Good at blocking, fighting hard at the basket, and being in doubt about health.

Brian Scala Brian, 2.06 meters tall, power forward, University of Southern California.

Comment: A big man with balanced skills is willing to take on dirty and tiring work on the field, but an old injury to his right ankle is a hidden danger.

Rubin Bowtier, 2.01 meters tall, small forward, Auburn University.

Comment: I have a long-range shooting technique, but my performance on the field is easily affected by emotions.

Shentong, 1.98 meters tall, shooting guard, University of Arizona.

Comment: Excellent long-range shooting skills and good defense. The NCAA Finals' winning goal showed a big heart, but due to the lack of overall playing time and insufficient inspection samples, there may be a large deviation.

"Mory, it's not me who said you. The only one among these four people is pretty good. The other three have obvious flaws." Bernard King said after reading the comments, as if he was not very satisfied with the person selected by Hanks.

"In fact, even Shentong has problems." Byron Scott pointed to Shentong's comment, "There are insufficient test samples and there may be large deviations. This is simply taking risks with the draft pick."
Chapter completed!
