The godfather of basketball started from conquering the NBA

Xu Xiao's sudden formal and serious words made Yilin a little overwhelmed, and could only bow her head and say "hmm".

Then Xu Xiao relaxed, and began to change the subject, asking Yilin to introduce him to the interesting places in Hebei. Yilin's hometown is Shijiazhuang, the capital of Hebei, so Xu Xiao decided to go to the provincial capital with Yilin to have a look. The two were chatting and laughing on the road, and many people regarded them as a young couple going on a trip.

Sitting on the green leather train, the two embarked on this journey.

Yilin was on both the plane and the train, she was a little tired, after all, she was not a person like Xu Xiao who exercised regularly, she was just an ordinary student, plus she needed to fight the jet lag, she was a little tired, and soon after she got on the train, she felt tired. A little sleepy, he fell asleep leaning on Xu Xiao's shoulder.

Looking at Yilin who was sleeping soundly, Xu Xiao felt pity for her, but fortunately he held back, it was not easy for her, a little girl went to a foreign country to study alone, her courage was commendable.

Xu Xiao was also a little bored in the car, he could only look at the scenery outside the car window, after all, at that time, the mobile phone was not as fully functional as it is now, at most it was surfing the Internet, browsing some web news and so on.

Xu Xiao took out his mobile phone and checked the latest basketball news.

The Rockets made another big move. They traded Spanoulis for European MVP Scola, and traded Lucas Jr. and the Lakers for Mike James. The joining of the champion guard greatly made up for the Rockets' shortcomings in point guard board, plus Francis, who was robbed from the Timberwolves, now the Rockets have three starting point guards from different teams last season.

Coupled with the grown-up Millsap and European mvp Scola, the last shortcoming of the Rockets has been made up, and the Rockets next season will become a strong contender for the championship...

The traffic of the Rockets is indeed huge, any piece of news can have hundreds of thousands of views, Xu Xiao looked at it, and then scrolled down to read the next piece of news.

The Lakers rookies have huge room for growth and have great potential. This year, the Lakers selected two rookies with the Timberwolves' second-round pick. One is Stroberg, who is known as "Strawberry". winning jigsaw puzzle.

Another rookie, Newley from Australia, is also playing bravely in the ongoing Oceania Basketball Championship. If he can log in to the NBA, he will definitely become an important role for the Lakers. Nate's deal not only has a current champion, but also a bright future...

This can become news, Xu Xiao smiled in his heart, he knows what level Stroberg and Newley are, one of these two has never logged in to the NBA, the other averaged 2 points per game in the NBA, and only played in the NBA. The main player who has less than one season can still have a bright future. The bragging is too outrageous, but after thinking about it, the Lakers are indeed very popular in China and have a lot of traffic. It's normal for the two of them to become champions.

However, this made Xu Xiao a little upset. Although he was not mentioned in any of these news, it seemed that he was pointed out in every sentence, but he had no other choice. Forbearance was the only thing he could do at present.

I don't know when, Yilin also woke up, and followed him to watch the news. After reading these two articles, Yilin suddenly opened her mouth:

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. It's not all because of your family that you can get to where you are today. I believe in your strength. You can predict the outcome of the game just by watching half a quarter. Anyone can do it, I will be your fan in the future, and I will also be a fan of the Timberwolves, and I will witness the rise of the Timberwolves."

Looking at her big watery eyes, it was Xu Xiao's turn to be at a loss, and he could only say: "Thank you"

"Are you really not going to help a group of Chinese basketball? I think you are really capable. If you can guide, not impart some experience, then Chinese basketball should rise rapidly."

Xu Xiao shook his head: "Chinese basketball is different from nba. It is not a simple basketball problem. nba is a business alliance. Money group Galaxy Battleship can also improve the strength of the team in a short period of time.

But Chinese basketball is different. It is more like an institutional system. The relationship is intricate and the network of interests is too deep. Players, coaches, and even referees are not standardized. The Basketball Association is a group of unprofessional people. trouble.

So I don't want to get involved in it for the time being. Compared with these old monsters, I, a guy in his early twenties, are too immature. "

Xu Xiao understands that the future is for Yao Ming to take over this mess. He can't handle it well, let alone let him, an outsider, go back to the water now. The system of Chinese basketball is too backward, the system of the league, the rights and protection of players , Contracts, referees and youth training drafts and other issues, including interest disputes within the Basketball Association, these are not within his reach.

"It's not as unbearable as you said, we are also the overlord of Asia after all."

"That was a good time for us to catch up. Now our players have entered the golden generation. This group of players may be hard to come by in the next 20 years, especially a genius like Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian, who is absolutely once in a hundred years. Now we are in the best of times, and when this time is over, you will know what kind of darkness we are in.

And this era will soon pass, at most five years, next year's Beijing Olympics should be our pinnacle, and the London Olympics in 12 should be the curtain call for this group of people. "

Yilin pouted, expressing her disbelief, they were all quite young, 12 years old, Yao Ming, the oldest, was only 32 years old, they also had Yi Jianlian, Sun Yue, why would the curtain call be over?

"However, I will use my way to help the Chinese men's basketball team. For example, this time, I will go back with you and come to Hebei. I just want to hold a basketball training camp to cultivate talents for the country. This is the only thing I can do now. "

"That's good, I'm going too."

"You? Can you play basketball?"

"Hey, don't look down on me. I've loved playing basketball since I was a child. If you don't believe me, we can play solo."

Can't tell, this soft and cute girl can play basketball, which is a bit interesting.

"Okay, it's a game. The winner must be decided. Why don't you bet on something, or I won't be motivated."

"Unexpectedly, you are still a "gambler". Well, tell me, what are you betting on?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, I'll tell you when I win."

"Then if you don't say your wish now, you won't have a chance to say it, and I won't show mercy." Yilin still said domineering words in the tone of a milk bear and a milk bear, making Xu Xiao amused again .

Beijing is very close to Shijiazhuang, and it takes only two hours to arrive at the station. Xu Xiao first sent Yilin home, and then went to find a hotel to stay in first.

"Girl, I miss you so much. How is life in America? I can't get used to the conditions there." Yilin's parents hugged Yilin excitedly as soon as they came up. They only left for more than a month, so they should go early Looking at the school, the parents missed it unceasingly. If they stayed outside for a year or two, they could bear it. Xu Xiao couldn't bear to disturb this family reunion, so he left knowingly.

"Girl, who is the person who sent you back? He looks like a good-looking talent, but I heard that there are many beasts in clothes in the United States. You have to be careful. You study well, but after all, you are an underage girl who lacks social skills. Experience, don't be fooled by others." Father Zhang said with some worry.

"Cheat, I seem to have been cheated by him once." Yilin thought so in her heart, but she still said: "I will be careful when I know."

"That's right, and besides, you're still too young. We went abroad to study, and now we're not at the age to fall in love. If someone chases you, you have to refuse like before.

Daughter, mom doesn’t want you to fall in love. Your dad also said that you are too young and inexperienced. We can help you see this at the door of your house, but if you are in the United States, we can’t see you. Lied, wait for you, when you are a little older and have some social experience, we will encourage you to fall in love. At that time, that guy will come to see you off, and mother will invite him to sit at home. "

"Oh mom, where do you think we are? We are just ordinary friends because we are all in the United States. As compatriots, it is not normal for us to take care of each other. Why do you play so much?" Yilin was also a little speechless, but Yilin Lin has some strange feelings in her heart, and she can't express them, just like when she was caught in a relationship when she was in school and was caught by the teacher, or when she was called a parent.

But Yilin had never talked about it, so he never had this feeling, but today he had this feeling for the first time.

Xu Xiao on the other side also ran all the way back to the hotel in fear.Yilin's parents didn't look at him very friendly just now, and there was always a feeling of being caught raped when he was in school.

"Damn, I'm innocent, what am I afraid of?"

That's what I said, but in the next few days, Xu Xiao became more honest. He opened a basketball training camp in the name of the company. The training was provided for free, which attracted many outstanding young people from all over the country to join, and Xu Xiao promised that if he performed well in the training camp, he would be given the opportunity to study abroad.

For several days in a row, there are many people who sign up every day. Some people simply like basketball and want to join in the fun, improve their own level, and make friends with the ball. Some people come with the determination to win. , vowing to take the professional path of basketball, of course, there are also a small number of people who come here because they want to get signed jerseys from nba stars.

"I didn't expect that the basketball atmosphere in China is so good." Assistant Anzi said with some surprise. He was still enjoying his vacation, but Xu Xiao called him to China because it was so popular here. Xu Xiao One cannot be busy at all.

"What's the matter? You seem to have something on your mind?"

"David, what if we made him an industry?"

"Huh? What do you mean? Aren't you a charity? Don't you want to contribute to Chinese basketball?" David looked at the serious Xu Xiao, who didn't seem to be joking.

"This is not a conflict. I will provide them with a platform for training abroad, as well as subsequent training fees."

"Huh? Then how?" This time it was David's turn to be puzzled, and David was just a basketball assistant. He didn't know much about the industry and could only listen to what Xu Xiao said.

"Have you ever thought that so many people have signed up to participate in the training camp, but I can't send them all, so it won't directly occupy the United States." Xu Xiao said jokingly.

"What do you mean?"

"We can make a competition, with one-on-one heads-up, five-on-five teams, it can be on campus, or in the private sector, as long as it is held nationwide, 10 people will be selected every season. Not only will there be generous bonuses, but also You can come to the training camp of the Timberwolves for training. Although the Timberwolves are not strong, they are still an NBA team. It is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Now is the time when basketball is hot. After Yao Ming retires, the enthusiasm may drop in China. Now is a good time to promote.”

Anzi nodded in agreement, but he didn't understand the specific operation.

"Call Grebede immediately and ask him to come to China to meet me immediately."

The efficiency of Tianhong Enterprise is high, and Gray came to Xu Xiao the next day.

"That's what I think. You need to communicate with the China Sports Bureau. You are better at this kind of thing. I still want to hear your opinion on the specific operation plan."

"Mr. Xu often said that a good idea should be put into practice. I have to admire you on this matter, Second Young Master. This is indeed a good idea. It can realize your desire to train basketball talents for China, and at the same time Another great business opportunity.”

It is not easy to hear this person's praise. After all, this Mr. Grebede was personally promoted by Grandpa Xu Xiao, and later he was also an important person who assisted Xu Xiao's father. Now the Timberwolves' financial operations , is also in charge of him.

"I will communicate about this matter. As the organizer, we can provide the initial cost and the later training cost. The key to this matter is whether we can attract advertisers and franchisees. If we can, then It is undoubtedly the best for our Chinese companies to promote, as well as the state's control over these things, and the enthusiasm of the competition."

Gray thought for a while and then said: "If this thing wants to be made into a national level league, and if you want to go on for a long time, then you'd better have a cba team, or an Asian league team, so that you can Do it, cultivate here, return the selected players to your own team, in short, hold these outstanding players with contracts, and the initiative is in your hands, so that even if he becomes popular through other basketball channels in the future Yes, you can still sell the contract. Of course, there is no need to worry about having a team. This is a trick I gave you. If the competition cannot continue, then you can use this bad strategy.”

Can't tell, this guy has been with my grandfather and my father for a long time, and he is familiar with the art of war, Xu Xiao secretly smiled.

"Oh, by the way, did you give your event a name? After all, it was founded by you, so it should be named after you."

I have thought about it a long time ago.

It's called "Roader King"
