Reverse Growth Superstar
Chapter 16
The day after signing with Carl Jones, link received a message from the unnamed manager.
When he first got the call, link was still very excited. But when he learned the purpose of the manager's call, link almost didn't have a mouthful of blood. Because Carl Jones called, not because he found an NBA contract for link.
"Business activities?" When link heard Carl Jones say the word on the phone, he couldn't believe his ears.
As a Development League player, what kind of business activities do you have?
"Yes, business! One afternoon is enough for you to make five thousand dollars. Well, I know it's not worth mentioning for NBA level business, but we have to come step by step, don't we? " Carl Jones's voice sounded excited, as if he had signed a multi million dollar contract for link.
"Five thousand dollars!" Link touched his chin, which is much higher than his salary for a moon in the development alliance!
Now he's more eager for a 10 day NBA contract than a commercial endorsement. However, link thinks it's a good idea to spend an afternoon subsidizing the family.
You can't go to upshaw's house for a few days.
"What kind of business is it?"
"An amusement park event, they invite you to do a promotion this afternoon. What you have to do is very simple, and the tourists in front of the shooting machine than shooting. Whoever can win you will get the prize provided by the playground. Easy, happy, 5000 dollars in your pocket. Oh, but 5000 dollars. To be exact, you can only get 4000 dollars, because according to the contract, I have 20% of the commercial contract
After hearing the last sentence from Carl Jones, link knew why he was so keen on finding business contracts for himself. But link can understand that people can't help themselves in vain. The profit of this business cooperation is the salary he paid Carl Jones.
Maybe this time Jones makes money, he will have enough motivation to help himself run NBA affairs?
"OK, but we have to wait until the end of training at noon today. I have one thing to ask, Carl, that no business activity should conflict with training. Training should always come first, OK
"No problem at all, link. Well, I'll pick you up at the stadium at four this afternoon. Believe me, you'll love being a star
Hang up and link sighs. Go to the amusement park and play with the players? How can it sound like a part-time job for a summer job...
> > >
after the training in the afternoon, Carl Jones showed up at the gate of the training hall on time. Jones did a good job in time. Twice, Jones was not late twice.
"Let's go, big star! I think there may be a large number of fans waiting for you now
Before he got on the bus, Carl Jones put his head out and yelled at link.
"Carl, how's the NBA going?"
However, link's attention was not on this afternoon's activities. As soon as he got on the bus, he asked Carl about the NBA.
"Er... I'm still trying, link. You can't worry. After all, you only played a good game. If you can perform well in a few games in a row, I guarantee you will be favored by NBA teams. So don't worry, link. Let's go step by step, first, by conquering Oklahoma's playground. "
Along the way, Carl Jones looked in a good mood. He doesn't have to make a net income of $1000 this afternoon.
On the way, link and Jones pass Oklahoma's real home, the Chesapeake energy arena, which belongs to the thunder team.
Today is match day, although it's only in the afternoon, the crowd of fans has gathered outside the Chesapeake energy stadium.
Outside the stadium, the huge posters of thunder players are very conspicuous. In the poster, link saw the four figures of Westbrook, Durant, James Harden and Sergi Ibaka.
At the thought of the four's career trajectory, link can't help but sigh. If the four of them never separate, God knows how far the thunder team can go.
But then again, the world suddenly has one more self. Will it change history? Link does not know, but he is sure that the historical track will not follow the original.
By the time of linksworth, Carl Jones had already arrived at the gate of an amusement park.
There were not many people in the playground, and link didn't get much attention after getting off the bus. Although he scored three double figures in front of Luke Babbitt yesterday, it was a Development League game after all. Link and the word "Star" still have a long way to go.
"Come on, not far ahead. What you have to do is very simple, shoot with the tourists and take the money home
"Well... This playground...""You're link!? Oh, my God, it's really you. Yesterday you did a great job! Yesterday's big win, it was the best match the blue team played so far this season. Hey, man, can you take a picture with us? "
when Lin Kezheng wanted to make complaints about the playground, even more than he imagined, a middle-aged man who dragged his wife and children suddenly came to Linke.
It's true that link can't compare with the real stars. But yesterday's game, how much still let him in the local popularity.
"Group photo? Of course, of course, there is no problem. " Lin Ke was a little flattered and took a picture with the family of three.
"Come on, link. I believe that you will appear in the NBA in the future After the group photo, the man waved away.
Link is a little relieved that he was unknown even in University in his previous life. But now he's a public figure.
"You see, I said you would be very popular. Come on, link. Everybody's waiting for you. "
Carl Jones waved. He felt as if he had created a star.
In other words, a cash cow has been successfully planted.
Two girls are walking on the footpath of the amusement park hand in hand. One of the girls with brown hair is looking around, looking bored.
"I thought this new amusement park would be bigger." The girl shook her head in disappointment. Oklahoma, like his hometown of Ohio, is far from the cosmopolitan city of Los Angeles.
"You see, there seems to be a lot of people gathering in front of you." Next to the brown haired girl, another girl pointed to the dark crowd.
They looked at each other with a smile and got together.
"What's the matter here, sir? Why are so many people gathered? " The young girl with brown hair generously approached and inquired. It was obvious that she was very cheerful. Even if she was talking to strangers, she would not be shy at all.
"It's said that the playground has invited a professional player to do activities. If you beat him by playing the shooting machine, you can get a reward. So far, four people have tried, but no one has won him. I have to say, that guy's sight is really good. "
The onlooker replied with a smile.
"Professional player?" The lazy brown haired girl suddenly came to her spirits. It happened that she was a strong basketball fan.
To be exact, she used to be a basketball player.
As a result, the girl with the swimming posture to push aside the crowd, crowded to the front. Since it is in Oklahoma, it should be the thunder players.
Who could it be? Westbrook? Durant? Or James Hardon?
However, when the girl saw the guy who was trying to shoot with the tourists, she was very disappointed. Because she doesn't know the professional player in front of her.
Indeed, the man is very tall. He should be about 2 meters tall. And as people say, his shooting accuracy is very terrible, almost a hundred hits. Men's muscle lines are obvious, but yellow skin is not common.
He's probably really a professional, but the girl can guarantee that he's not a well-known role player.
"The end of 15 shots, link this time is 14 out of 15! Unfortunately, the tourist challenge failed! But don't lose heart, you still get a chance to take pictures with professional players
At this time, the host of the amusement park organizing activities yelled with a microphone. And the brown haired girl finally knew the name of the so-called professional player.
"Link?" She frowned, a name she had never heard of as a basketball fan.
Is it hard to find a fake professional player in the playground?
"Now, there's one last chance to challenge link. Who else wants to try?"
Listening to the host, the girl confidently raised her slender arm. This is also the first woman to dare to challenge from the beginning of today's event.
"That lady, I can feel your enthusiasm even though it is so far away. Come on, as the last challenger, let's experience the feeling of playing with professional players! May I have your name, miss
"Rachel demita."
The boy took the basketball and laughed confidently. She will prove that the so-called guests invited by the amusement park are not professional players at all.
