my golden age

Chapter 2 Heading to Los Angeles
Sun Feiyang is a few years older than Gao Fei, he has experienced the harshness of the world, and he knows a little bit about the ways of the world.

He knew that Gao Fei was from the countryside in Hebei, and he went to the BJ Sports School with his whole family.This approach undoubtedly has huge risks, but judging from the results, it is not bad.

"Gao Fei, do you have enough money to pay for going to the United States?" Sun Feiyang talked about the most critical issue when he was full of food.

The salary payment model of the NBA is to pay a single game salary after the game. Since Gao Fei has not played a game, he has not received a salary.

Gao Fei was trained by the Sports Bureau, and part of his annual salary belongs to the Sports General Administration, which is used to support the training of athletes in other sports.As the saying goes, the kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring. This is the realization of his athlete from the bottom.In this way, even if you receive the salary in the rookie contract, leaving aside taxes and miscellaneous expenses, there is not much left.

Seeing that Gao Fei was speechless, Sun Feiyang said: "Gao Fei, I have some savings, if you need money, you can talk to me."

Gao Fei knew that Feiyang was from Bei Piao, and he was still renting a room with his model girlfriend.He has been arguing with his girlfriend recently about buying a house and settling down. It is not proper to borrow money from him at this time.

"Master, I'm going to ask the BJ team for help and ask them to lend me some first." After all, Gao Fei is the hero who helped the team win the championship, and winning the Asian Championships also has some bonuses.

"Gao Fei, I wish you a bright future in the NBA." Sun Feiyang drank a cup of tea.

Gao Fei used tea instead of wine to respond to his former big brother.

He walked out of Quanjude, looked at BJ's slightly cool night, and knew that Feiyang Sun and BJ's teammates had been covering him before.He went to Los Angeles, USA, but he was completely on his own.

"It's useless to feel sorry, just move on." Gao Fei stretched out his right hand, stopped a taxi, and returned home.

Father Gao Jianzhang and mother Han Suya are from the countryside and are adapting to life in BJ.They spent more than ten years training Gao Fei at the BJ Sports School, and now they are unable to help him anymore.

Gao Fei returned to the second bedroom, turned on the lamp on the desk, and took out the phone book in the phone.After thinking about it, these people didn't seem to have much money to help him.

Out of nowhere, a tall figure entered Gao Fei's mind.

Yao Ming was the No. 2002 pick in the NBA in [-], and he receives millions of dollars from the Rockets every year.In addition to professional income, there are also various endorsements, and the money is relatively ample.

Gao Fei and Yao Ming met because they were in the national team.Holding the mobile phone, he hesitated for a long time, but in the end he didn't make a call. He thought in his heart: "Forget it, I will find the leaders of BBMG tomorrow and ask them for help."

After taking a bath, Gao Fei lay on the bed and soon fell asleep.

The management of BJ BBMG was very generous, lent Gao Fei 10 yuan to help him tide over the difficulties.Although the money is not much for the club, Gao Fei is a person who knows how to repay his kindness and keeps this feeling in his heart.

With the help of the General Administration of Sports, visas and passports were given a green light all the way, and everything was settled soon.

Seven days later!
Gao Fei's family conditions are not good, and his parents have no money to follow him to the United States.

Gao Jianzhang and Han Suya sent Gao Fei to BJ International Airport, telling him to save money and take care of himself.

Gao Fei thinks this is a paradox.

As the entertainment capital of the United States, Los Angeles is adjacent to Hollywood, and has always been a place for luxury and money.Although he can resist the temptation, the high consumption is still unbearable.Of course, he will not tell these things to his parents.

He is now 20 years old, and it is best to report the good news and not the bad news when he goes outside to work hard.

BJ's flight to Los Angeles began to check in. Gao Fei could only finish talking with his parents, dragged his luggage through the ticket gate, and walked into the departure hall.

Gao Jianzhang and Han Suya stood where they were, looked at their son's back, and did not leave immediately.They felt that they owed their son all the time, but they couldn't keep up with Gao Fei's footsteps.

Gao Fei is just 20 years old, and he doesn't know what to worry about.Full of anticipation, I boarded the economy class of the plane and waited for the flight to Los Angeles.

……

In the 2004 finals, the Lakers F4 collapsed and lost to the civilian Pistons.Later, Zen master Phil Jackson resigned as the head coach; the OK combination was completely broken, and O'Neal was traded to the Heat.

Kobe became the new boss of the Lakers, working together with the new coach Rudy Tomjanovich.However, due to physical reasons, Tomjanovich had to step down halfway, and was coached by the little-known Frank Hamblen for the rest of the season.

Due to frequent situations, the Lakers missed the playoffs for the fifth time in the history of the Lakers, so they got the tenth pick in the first round of this summer's draft.

Lakers owner Jerry Buss did two things this summer. One was to re-sign head coach Phil Jackson, and the other was to select Goofy to the Lakers with the No. [-] pick in the first round.

Gao Fei was pulling a suitcase and carrying a shoulder bag commonly used by athletes. Standing at Los Angeles International Airport, he suddenly lost his way.

He had exchanged dollars in his backpack, but he couldn't speak English, which became the biggest problem he faced.

The American agent Gao Fei signed is Dan Fagan who can bring the most benefits to the players.He had contacted Fagan before, but he couldn't call him at this time.

"It's over, what should we do?" Gao Fei thought for a moment and had an idea.He looked around and found a passenger with yellow skin and black hair, and hurried to seek help.

He was lucky to meet a group of tourists visiting Los Angeles from China.

The visitors recognized him and enthusiastically offered to help, reaching out to agent Dan Fagan.

Gao Fei repeatedly expressed his gratitude to the tourists.

The tourists waited until Feigen came to the international airport to pick up Gao Fei before leaving for the reserved hotel.

Although he successfully reconciled with his agent in Los Angeles, the language problem was still unresolved.The two of them gestured and talked, trying to understand each other's meaning.

Gao Fei had studied English before, but he had no background before. He only heard "Staples Center" and "translators".He connected the two words in his head, guessing that Fagan was taking him to the Staples Center, and that there were interpreters there.

Sure enough, Fegan brought Gao Fei to the Staples Center.

The Staples Center is not only the home of the Lakers, but also the home of the Clippers. It is also used for concerts and is not exclusive to the Lakers.This meeting was scheduled in advance by the Lakers management.

Gao Fei deposited his suitcase and shoulder bag in the security room of the arena, and followed Fagan to meet the Lakers management and head coach.

The Lakers are the main business of the Buss family. The speaker, Jerry Buss, and the head coach, Phil Jackson, are waiting in the office, with an interpreter standing next to them.

Fagan called Old Buss and took Gao Fei to the office.

Gao Fei was a little nervous when he saw the team's head coach and owner, and stood quietly where he was.

Old Bath communicated with the translator around him and asked him to translate the words to Gao Fei.

It was a meaningless exchange of greetings at first, but soon got to the point.

Phil Jackson said: "Originally I wanted you to be the starting point guard. But the performance in the final of the Asian Championships made me very worried. You have to compete with Smush Parker. Only by performing better than him can you get the starting position. .”

The translator told Goofy what Phil Jackson said.

There are two guards on the basketball court. Kobe firmly occupies the starting shooting guard position. If he wants to play the starting guard, he can only compete for the point guard.

Gao Fei is a basketball player, so he naturally knows how to gain the trust of the head coach.
