Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

America.

At Los Angeles International Airport, Zhuang Yu sent his mother, An Xin and Tang Wan to the airport.

Although the championship is over, Zhuang Yu still has a lot to do, such as participating in the championship celebration, accepting media interviews, participating in some activities, and visiting the White House.

Visiting the White House can be regarded as a tradition in the American basketball circle, or a sense of ritual.

Every year, the NBA championship and NCAA championship go to the White House and are personally received by the president.

Although Zhuang Yu is not interested in visiting the White House, he would rather visit the Forbidden City, but as a member of the team and the star of the team, it is definitely impossible not to go in the MOP of the championship.

A series of things required him to be busy, so naturally it was impossible to spend time with his family.

In addition, Li Huilan was not used to staying here, and An Xin and Tang Wan also had to go to school, so the three of them planned to return home after only two days.

"Mom has gone back. You have to take care of yourself here alone, you know?" Li Huilan held her son's hand and warned her over and over again.

"Mom, don't worry. I'm not a child. I can take care of myself." Zhuang Yu replied obediently: "I will go back to accompany you when this period of time is over. Then I will go to the noodle shop to help you."

Li Huilan suddenly smiled from ear to ear: "You are a big star now. If you go to the noodle shop to help me, our small noodle shop will be surrounded by people. How can we do business?"

Zhuang Yu chuckled and said, "I don't care, I am your son. No matter how successful I am, I am still your son. I should go to the store to help you."

Li Huilan was so excited when she said this, she stretched out her finger to poke her son's forehead, but found that her son had grown taller and she could no longer reach it.

She lightly hit Zhuang Yu on the arm.

Li Huilan turned her head and glanced at An Xin. Knowing that the two young men must have something to say, she called to Tang Wan: "Wan Wan, come with me to see why the plane hasn't arrived yet."

Tang Wan responded obediently, leaned in front of Zhuang Yu, showed two small tiger teeth, and said with a smile: "Brother, remember to promise me."

Zhuang Yu smiled: "Don't worry."

Isn't it just a little signature? It's a small thing.

During the championship game that day, Logan was too embarrassed to ask Westbrook, Durant, and Love for their autographs, and later begged Zhuang Yu to get them for him.

It was just a signature, so Zhuang Yu naturally agreed.

But he didn't have time in the past two days, so he promised Logan that he would find time to ask for her autograph later and bring it back to her when he returned to China.

"Then I'll go over there."

Tang Wan winked at An Xin playfully, and then followed Li Huilan like a little rabbit.

Zhuang Yu and An Xin were left now. Their eyes were fixed on each other for a moment, just looking at each other silently.

An Xin felt a little embarrassed and looked away in panic. She lowered her head shyly, her face already red.

"I......"

Just as An Xin was about to speak, she was hugged by a pair of big hands. Her heart trembled, and she felt like she had been thrown into a warm embrace. A familiar smell came from her nose, that was Zhuang Yu's breath.

Zhuang Yu hugged An Xin tightly, and regardless of the people coming and going around him, he lowered his head and kissed An Xin's red lips.

"Well......"

An Xin's heart was beating wildly, like a deer stumbling around, and for a moment, his mind went blank.

It took a while for Zhuang Yu to raise his head, but An Xin's face was already red to the ears. She shyly hit Zhuang Yu and muttered in a low voice: "There are so many people here, I'm so embarrassed."

Zhuang Yu smiled and said: "I'm not afraid, I just want everyone to know that you are my girlfriend."

With a sweet smile on her face, An Xin stretched out her slender hands, straightened Zhuang Yu's clothes, and said, "I'll wait for your return in China."

The words "Waiting for you to come back" hit the softest part of Zhuang Yu's heart, surpassing countless love words. He grinned and said: "I will go back to find you after the things here are settled. I will call you when the time comes. That roommate, let’s go on a trip and have fun for a few days.”

An Xin suddenly became happy: "This is what you said, don't go back on it."

Ever since Zhuang Yu arrived in the United States, the time the two of them spent together was very limited. Even when Zhuang Yu returned to China last summer, he didn't stay with An Xin long.

As Zhuang Yu grew up, became more and more famous and became busier, so An Xin cherished their time together more.

After some teasing, the two separated.

"It's almost time to board the plane," An Xin said.

"Yes." Zhuang Yu nodded, his eyes full of reluctance.

Li Huilan and Tang Wan came over. The three of them waved goodbye to Zhuang Yu and watched the three of them walk into the boarding gate. Zhuang Yu stood for a while, until the three people's backs disappeared and until a plane took off outside the floor-to-ceiling glass window above their heads. He stood up, Yufeng went away, and then he turned and left.

After seeing off his family, Zhuang Yu became even busier.

Participating in various activities, interviews, visiting the White House, and receiving many NBA scouts and representatives of some NBA teams, I was very busy.

......

However, no matter how busy he was, Zhuang Yu never stopped training and would go to the gym to train every day.

He is not the only one, Anderson, LaVine, Brown Jr., and other players sometimes go to the gym to train.

"boom!"

There was a muffled sound, and Anderson shot the iron.

LaVine smiled, picked up the basketball, walked to the three-point line, and said to Anderson: "It's my turn to attack, Kyle, you have to be careful."

Anderson curled his lips and raised his fingers at Raven: "Here you go."

The result was that LaVine scored 6 goals in a row. The two sides had previously tied at 4:7. After LaVine scored six goals in a row, the score directly turned into 10:7. Anderson lost this one-on-one match.

"Okay, I lost." Anderson spread his hands, feeling very bachelor. It's not like he has never lost before, so one more time won't matter.

Zhuang Yu smiled and teased: "Kyle, I still like your unruly look just now. Don't tell me, I almost thought you could make a comeback."

Anderson's face darkened and he looked at Brown: "Brown, come on, let's play a game."

Uh......

Little Brown's face was full of resentment, thinking that you must be sick. If you lose to LaVine, take it out on me because you think I'm easy to bully, right? Oh, oh, oh, it's too difficult for me.

"Okay." Zhuang Yu smiled and comforted his little brother, "He was joking with you."

This one-on-one duel is over, and today's training for several people is also over.

Come sit down on the sidelines.

Anderson handed Zhuang Yu a bottle of water and asked, "Have you thought about it?"

For a moment, Raven and Little Brown Dou all looked at Zhuang Yu.

What to consider?

Of course it's the draft.

Now Zhuang Yu is nineteen years old, reaching the age to participate in the NBA draft, and has won the championship and MOP. This is Zhuang Yu's peak moment. He can definitely be selected with a high pick in the draft now, and with his strength, it doesn't make much sense to stay in the NCAA.

"Well..." Zhuang Yu paused and said with a smile, "It's not June yet, so there's no need to be anxious."

Several people were dissatisfied with this answer.

Anderson said earnestly: "It is already mid-April. Although there are still two months until the draft, there are still many things in between, such as participating in training camps, going to team trials, physical tests, etc... Zhuang Yu , it’s almost time to prepare.”

Next to him, LaVine also said: "At least hire an agent first."

Both of them agreed that Zhuang Yu would participate in the draft, and Zhuang Yu did not refute. He did have plans to participate in the NBA draft.

Continuing to stay in the NCAA for training has little effect. If he wants to further grow and continue to improve himself, he needs a bigger stage and a higher level league.

Then, there is only the NBA.

"Yeah." Zhuang Yu responded and said to himself, "It's really time to find an agent."

In fact, many agencies have approached Zhuang Yu during this period, including well-known sports agencies such as CAA (Creative Artists Agency) and Priority Sports & Entertainment, all of which have contacted Zhuang Yu in the hope of signing him.

Bill Duffy, Yao Ming's former agent, also contacted Zhuang Yu through Yao Ming and wanted to sign Zhuang Yu to his company.

In addition, many advertisers have approached Zhuang Yu, hoping to sign endorsement contracts with him.

This can be considered a routine operation. Many talented players sign endorsement contracts before they even enter the NBA, and brands often give them good contracts.

Of course, this "good contract" is relative to players who have not yet entered the NBA at this time.

Brands are not fools. The reason why they choose to sign players at this time is actually to save money. Because when a player enters the NBA and makes a name for himself in the NBA, it won’t be worth the price to sign him at that time.

Most players are also happy to sign a good contract before entering the NBA.

After all, all players have at this time is talent. It is still unclear whether they can establish themselves and make a name for themselves after entering the NBA. If they fail to make a name for themselves, their value may fall instead of rising.

For example, some high-profile parallel import shows.

Being selected with a high pick, their talent and future prospects are naturally promising. However, after entering the NBA, either due to injuries or other reasons, they were unable to realize their talents, and their commercial value will naturally decline. Big discount.

Fang Zhuangyu also came into contact with these brands, including big brands such as Nike, Adidas and Under Armor.

It’s just that the endorsement contracts given are not large.

Zhuang Yu understands that these brands are not necessarily optimistic about their own future, but may just be optimistic about the Chinese market behind them.

After all, there are no Chinese players in the NBA now. When he enters the NBA, he will be the only Chinese player in the NBA, and he will definitely be sought after by Chinese fans.

Here, there are even some brands that are not optimistic about him at all, just in the spirit of "if you have a date or not, you can't make a difference", or they are just a "stirrer". When they see a competitor trying to sign Zhuang Yu, they will jump out to cause trouble. .....In short, Zhuang Yu refused.

He is still self-aware. He is a nineteen-year-old boy who only knows how to play basketball. As for knowing nothing about business, how can he compete with those talented people?

Professional matters must be left to professionals.

Therefore, it is still necessary to hire an agent. When the time comes, these matters can be left to the agent to handle, and he only needs to focus on basketball.

"But who should I find as my agent?"
