Chapter 5 5. Mr. Million
"Let him rest for a while."

After a while, the tearful Evelyn tugged on Lin Feng's cuff.

Lin Feng nodded, and Andrew, who was exhausted, had already fallen asleep.

The two went outside and turned off the light for Andrew.

"I've consulted a doctor. My father still has about half a year left. If you enter the NBA, he will be able to fulfill his wish. He has no regrets."

Evelyn couldn't help crying, she was a strong girl.I always have a sweet smile working in a convenience store every day, but there is a lot of pressure behind it.

Lin Feng hugged her and let Evelyn lean on his chest. All he can do now is to warm his family.

The day after tomorrow, I will fly to Los Angeles to join the team, and then participate in the summer league. Every day is a challenge.

Lin Feng knew in his heart that he was likely to get a two-way contract with the Los Angeles Lakers.That is to say, I will be a two-way player. At the beginning of the season, there is a high probability that I will be sent to the South Bay Lakers of the Development League. If I perform well, I have a chance to be recruited by Los Angeles.

Signing a two-way contract means that Lin Feng can get at least a salary of 7 US dollars.

But if the Lakers decide to sign a guarantee contract with him, then according to the regulations of the new season, he can sign at least a basic salary contract of 89 US dollars.

This is a huge sum of money for Lin Feng who is in urgent need of money. Not only can he treat his adoptive father, but he can also live a more comfortable life.

To get a guaranteed contract, the summer league must produce results that satisfy the Lakers management, otherwise he can only travel between the Development League and the NBA.

"Evelyn, I will call you as soon as I get my salary." Lin Feng's eyes were extremely firm.

"Father doesn't want to be a stumbling block for you. You are an NBA player now. He wants you to move forward without any worries, understand?" Evelyn had tears in her eyes.

Lin Feng looked moved, and he reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of Evelyn's eyes.The one crying in front of him was a beautiful long-haired woman. If she hadn't been dragged down by her family, she might have a happy family and life.

Early the next morning, Lin Feng packed his luggage and wandered around New York City. This was his last vacation, and tomorrow he went to Los Angeles to prepare for the summer league.

The agent Perkins seemed to disappear, and he didn't care about him. How could a 19-year-old rookie know what to do.

He needs a new pair of sneakers, but has no money.Last night, Evelyn offered him two hundred dollars, but Lin Feng refused.He can no longer ask for money from his adoptive father and sister. He is the chosen one, and he has to earn money by himself.

Just as he was thinking about it, his hand in his trouser pocket seemed to touch something, and when he took it out, he saw that it was two ten-dollar bills, and then he remembered that Billy wanted to give it to his adoptive father last night.

twenty dollars?Probably worth a McDonald's meal.

At this time, a Koenigsegg sports car roared past, and a man with a big gold chain and a charming woman were sitting in the car.

Xuete, such a life is really enviable.Lin Feng felt that some changes had to be made, he had to become stronger.

I can foresee the world three seconds from now. It's very powerful on the court, but now I urgently need a sum of money. What can this special ability bring?
That is?

Lin Feng suddenly saw a lottery shop in front of him, and his eyes lit up.

He found a way to make a lot of money by buying lottery tickets.

The big lottery is definitely not good for drawing prizes on time. What he needs is instant lottery, similar to scratch cards.

I believe that you can judge whether the lottery can scratch the first prize by "foreseeing for three seconds".

Walking into the lottery shop full of confidence, the bearded store manager got up from the stool and walked towards the ticket machine as soon as he saw the business.

Besides Lin Feng, there were also three old people inside, they were staring at the lottery lottery number research, just like domestic betting shops.

"What kind?" the bearded man asked.

Lin Feng touched his nose, "Instant lottery."

He only has twenty dollars, and the price of instant lottery tickets is ten dollars a piece, which means there are only two chances.

Familiarize yourself with the lottery rules first, and understand what kind of patterns need to be scratched to win the big prize.

There is a problem here. It is very likely that all the scratch cards in this store have not won the prize, so he will only waste an afternoon, and he may even be beaten by the boss.

But he needed a sum of money urgently, so he could only bite the bullet.

Foreseeing the future for three seconds means that in Lin Feng's mind, he will scratch the lottery ticket within three seconds and claim the prize quickly.

This requires extremely fast speed to scratch nine places, which is very difficult.

Seeing him staring blankly at the pile of lottery tickets, the boss felt a little malicious, "Young man, what's the problem?"

Lin Feng shook his head and said apologetically, "Boss, can you show me all the lottery tickets?"

"Are you going to buy them all?" The bearded boss' eyes lit up.

Lin Feng smiled and said, "No, no, I want to buy a lottery ticket that will bring me good luck."

The bearded man was not interested in playing this kind of game with him, but he agreed in the end. Anyway, he was bored, so he wanted to see what this young man wanted to do.

Holding a coin in his hand, Lin Feng focused his eyes on the lottery ticket in front of him.

Soon, his consciousness reappeared, and he quickly scratched off a lottery ticket in his consciousness, and then compared the winning pattern.

It went on like this for 5 minutes. Lin Feng sat in the lottery shop without moving. The boss was playing with his mobile phone next to him. As long as this kid doesn't play tricks, the boss can let him watch it for a day.

In the eyes of the bearded boss, this guy may be mentally ill, and caring for patients is also the purpose of the welfare lottery.

In the long afternoon, people passed by from time to time on the street outside.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Feng pushed the door out with two unscratched lottery tickets in his hand. He couldn't hide his excitement and even wanted to yell.

Half a minute ago, after repeated confirmation, he found two third-prize tickets from a pile of lottery tickets, with a total prize money of 52 US dollars.

The next thing to do is to find a quiet place to scratch it, and then rush to claim the prize before the prize center closes.

In the cafe, I found a seat by the window and sat down.

"Sir, what would you like to drink?" The waiter greeted warmly.

Lin Feng waved his hand, "Please give me a glass of water and a knife."

knife?The waiter thought it was unbelievable, but he did it anyway.

After getting the knife, Lin Feng began to carefully scratch the lottery area. As the nine patterns gradually became clear, he trembled with excitement.

"Sir, is there a problem with our service?" The waitress was surprised.

Lin Feng smiled, "No, your service is great."

Half an hour later, there was a tall man standing in front of the New York Prize Redemption Center with a calm expression. He was Lin Feng.

Before long, his card will be marked with 23 cash.

As for why it is 23, because he paid nearly half of the tax.

"Schete, deceitful taxation."

Lin Feng cursed, but this did not hinder his mood. In the future, he would visit the lottery stores across the United States to find out all the winning lottery tickets.

23 is not a lot, which is equivalent to more than 100 million RMB, which is enough to make a down payment in a domestic 1.5-tier city.

He was going to send the money to Evelyn and send his adoptive father to the hospital.

Just about to make a call, a notification popped up on the phone, which was Aite's own Twitter.

After clicking on it, I found that Aite, the official account of the Lakers, also had Mikhailiuk and Wagner. All three of them were rookies this year, so they introduced themselves to Lakers fans.

Soon, my Twitter account gained more than a dozen followers, and there were a few sporadic comments under the content I posted before.

The push on the homepage of Twitter is about James, and his decision will inevitably cause a huge shock this summer.

At present, the well-known gaming company OddsSharks puts the 76ers first, with odds of 1 to 2.5, followed by the Cavaliers, Rockets, Lakers, and even the Warriors.

This is crazy, the Lakers are only ranked fourth, and the odds are 1 to 6.5!

Today is June 6, and there are only ten days before James announces his decision. As time goes by, the odds of the Lakers will rise sharply, and finally reach 23 to 1.

Lin Feng's heartbeat quickened again, and he had an idea.
