Chapter 583 583. A Great Career
"Erica, Tina, Clarke, Billy, and then here's Johnny, a guy who likes to be cool."

Lin Feng introduced his best friend to Ursula.

Ursula seemed very graceful, saying hello to everyone.She knew that this group of people were Lin Feng's childhood playmates, and they would meet often in future life.

"Johnny Gates! Schett, I thought you died on the streets of Miami."

After many years, Lin Feng finally met Johnny.Gary Smith's memory made him feel as if he had experienced it himself, which felt strange.

Johnny was a guy with a cropped cut and stud earrings, looking cynical, drinking a beer with his legs crossed.

"Haha, if I went back five years, I'd jump up and punch you. But now I know you guys are my real friends, because you probably wouldn't shoot me in the thigh and take my wallet .”

After Johnny finished speaking, everyone toasted and drank.

Johnny played in the streetball league in Miami last year. He was almost shot by the local gangsters because he was too aggressive. He is a complete jerk.

But Johnny is the most determined one among this group of childhood playmates to implement the "basketball dream". He never gave up basketball, even if he lined up to receive relief food.

Even Lin Feng, who is now a big star in the NBA, has experienced a period of self-doubt.

"Johnny! To be honest, I admire your obsession with basketball." Lin Feng said seriously.

Johnny looked at him and laughed, "Basketball is life to me."

Billy clapped his hands, he was happy for Lin Feng and Johnny.

Kiki Perkins, who has been sitting in the middle like a "godfather", said, "Cheers to our common cause. Before long, you will become millionaires like Gary. Of course, this does not affect your chasing Real basketball."

In the eyes of the "thirty-year-old man" Old Pa, these young people are all young men, and he is the captain of this destroyer.

"I know what you're thinking, man."

Lin Feng turned his body sideways and whispered to Lao Pa.

Lao Pa spread his hands, and Lin Feng continued: "A huge business empire."

The two smiled at each other and continued to drink.

The official game of the Third Street Saints will kick off on March 3, four days later. There is no game on that day, and the next two games will be at Staples, so Lin Feng can accompany the team all the way.

The relationship between Lin Feng and their team has attracted much attention.However, what worried him the most was that the team hadn't had a formal training session, and they were all scattered individual exercises, and they might mess things up by then.

In any case, Anta Group has already made jerseys for them. The iconic violet background color has added some street elements, which is full of personality.

This is due to Qiqi's business talent, he negotiated these cooperations, and got a good offer.Wearing Anta's sneakers to play, the Saints players can get three thousand dollars per game, even Tina and Erica, who are cheerleaders on the sidelines.Calculated based on fifty games, it is 15 throughout the year, and this does not include various bonuses.

All in all, Kiki earned a good income for Lin Feng's friends, which was more than what they earned playing wild ball on the streets of New York.

"It's just the beginning guys, I said I'd make each of you a millionaire, and I'll do it."

Old Pa's words caused a burst of cheers, Billy and the others believed in him very much, and were already confused by Old Pa's words.

"Tomorrow at seven o'clock in the evening, I will hold a commercial event at Venice Beach Stadium, the home of the VBL league. It will be your first official appearance in Los Angeles. Get ready for cheers! Crazy fans like never before, I'm sure it won't be much worse than Rock Park."

Old Pa has a well-thought-out plan, and he is confident in running the team well, so he has formed a small team for this purpose.He is serious, everything is operating in accordance with the model of a professional team, even Nick Anson, the founder of the VBL league, recognizes it.

Everyone enjoyed the lively atmosphere of the bar and imagined what it would look like tomorrow.

"Mr. Cheng Zhi, the North American head of Anta Group, is like crazy. He bets wildly on you, thinking that you will be the next LeBron. They want to participate in everything you have, and even at some point in the future , I think they will give you shares, as long as you continue to wear their products on the court." Old Pahan said with a smile.

It is completely understandable that as a domestic brand, Anta could not compete with Nike and Adidas in North America, and could only compete with big brands for stars by opening premium contracts.Even so, not many players would choose sports brands from the East.

Anta is not bad, and successfully "moved" Clay with banknotes before.Originally, Anta had no hope in the competition around Lin Feng, but that night, Mr. Cheng Zhi, the person in charge, unexpectedly received a call from Lin Feng's manager.

Although it did not help him become naturalized as Lin Feng envisioned, it also led to a business that is likely to change the North American sporting goods landscape.

Lin Feng's "Saints" series sneakers are selling well in the Greater Los Angeles area. From the perspective of the Lakers, they are currently second only to Lao Zhan and become the team's second "shoe king".

It can also be ranked in the top fifteen in the entire league. It is rare for a rookie to have such a result.I believe that as the Lakers go further and further, this number will increase rapidly.

Of course, this also has something to do with Anta's pricing being close to the people. A pair of "Saints 1" can be bought for only $79.

Mr. Cheng Zhi played a big game of chess. Not long ago, he led the team to negotiate with Nick Anson for the advertising sponsorship of the VBL league. It is very likely that Anta elements will be seen around the stadium.

Lin Feng only listened to these matters, he just wanted to take care of his own affairs.

Regarding the team, they currently only have three official players, Billy, Johnny and Clark. The streetball league is 3V3, which meets the minimum requirements for playing but has no substitutes.

Once someone is unable to play due to injury, there will be embarrassment of no one playing.In order to solve this problem, they must recruit at least two other players.

"Gary, do you have any friends who can play in New York? There should be a lot of acquaintances in Rock Park, right?" Old Pa held a sliver of expectation.

Lin Feng smiled wryly and shook his head, "I'm sorry, I used to be a loner and rarely made friends. As you can see, I often fight with people on the court, and they were the only ones I grew up with."

It was a character decision of Gary Smith, a guy who grew up with only basketball in his eyes, more on the court than in other places.

Old Pa took a long breath, pinched his chin and began to think.It seems a bit late to think about this issue when the game is about to start.

Lin Feng suddenly had a bold idea, and slapped Lao Pa fiercely, which shocked him a lot.

"Do you know big3?"

"Of course, Allen Iverson and Ice Cube organized a bunch of old guys to get together to play, nostalgic for the days when they were professional basketball players, and I was actually worried that their bones would fall apart one day."

"We can invite those retired players who still have the strength to play, such as Uncle Drew." Lin Feng said quietly.

Old Pa didn't turn the corner for a while, "Uncle Drew? That guy only exists in movies!"

It didn't take long for Old Pa to react and slapped his thigh, "I like your brain! If one day I become a zombie, I will definitely taste your brain first! It will remind me of the happy time when I was born in the human camp !"

This metaphor is very strange, Lin Feng didn't know what to say.
