The godfather of basketball started from conquering the NBA

The day after the Lakers lost the championship, Xu Xiao hurriedly returned home.

The basketball training camp he discussed with Dayao has officially opened. Needless to say, Yao Ming’s low position in the country, his reputation, and the influence of Grey’s passer-by king before, let the people who sign up come in a steady stream. constantly.

After Xu Xiao's battle with the Lakers, although he ended in failure, more people got to know him and saw his strength, and more and more people chose to accept him.

And he has strong strength. This time, the basketball training camp is completely free. Those who come to participate don't have to pay high tuition fees like before. As long as they are skilled or talented, they can participate.

Since it is not the first time for Xu Xiao to open a basketball training camp in China, he is still familiar with some things, but this time he wants to witness it with his own eyes, so he will only open it in one place in Beijing, but he believes that his training camp will be held in the future. Rooted everywhere in China.

In the future, as the team he leads reaches the peak step by step, more people will recognize him.

At that time, he will not be as simple as simply running a training camp.

But he soon realized a problem, if he did this, would he attract hatred from his peers, or touch the interests of some leading figures? The former passer-by king has already been hated by many peers.

After thinking twice, Xu Xiao decided to set up his training camp headquarters in New York.

In China, Xu Xiao will send excellent seedlings to New York for training, and he will sign a contract with them. Before the age of 22, all the expenses of the players will be borne by Tianhong Group. Players are responsible for training in New York and have the opportunity to go to the NBA. Xu Xiao will arrange everything for them, including participating in the training of the Timberwolves.

If they cannot enter the NBA in the future, they will all enter the Rainbow Group.

As soon as the news came out, it exploded quickly, stirring up waves in the country.

Tianhong Group, what kind of place is that, the top of the world's top [-] companies, why go to the NBA if you can work in that kind of place, everyone doubted it for a while.

Instructing the chairman of Tianhong Group to stand up and admit this in person, this made everyone feel relieved.

At this moment, all parents let their children learn to play basketball and sign up like crazy.

I have to say that this move is really much better than those young eagle plans that will be implemented in the future, or the policy of combining education and sports that only stays in words.

So on the first day of the basketball training camp, basketball masters from all over the country gathered together.

There is no way, Xu Xiao can only raise the threshold, only under the age of 16, and there are only 5 people who can follow Xu Xiao to the United States every year, and there is a prerequisite for this condition.

That is, if you sign a contract with Xu Xiao's Tianhong Group, without Xu Xiao's nod, you are not allowed to come back to participate in various competitions without permission, otherwise Tianhong Group will have the right to terminate the contract and demand the other party to pay sky-high liquidated damages.

As soon as this condition came out, some big shots couldn't sit still.

This means that without Xu Xiao's nod, they would not even be able to enter the national team, and the talent from each province and city would be poached, which would be a loss to their own province.

So on the third day of the training camp, there were various reports to smear Xu Xiao.

Words such as "charlatan" and "hooligan contract" came out, and some people said that Xu Xiao made this just like the Aoshen team, and the athletes were like selling him, all kinds of derogatory terms came up.

"I don't do professional work at all, and the intrigue is better than the other, hum!"

Xu Xiao threw away the phone, sat on the sofa, and lit a cigarette:

"This group of people think about how to protect their own interests all day long, and they don't care about the overall situation. They don't reflect on why the big country can't produce a few talents who can play, and they don't think about how many people are used by them. gone."

Before Xu Xiao could express his dissatisfaction quickly, people from the Basketball Association came to the door.

"Mr. Xu, we understand your kindness. We are really grateful that you can spend a lot of money to set up a basketball training camp in China and bring your successful experience in the NBA as a guide..."

Xu Xiao rubbed his temples helplessly. It was obvious that he didn't want to hear these people being obedient.

"Let's get straight to the point. My conditions will not change. I want to be better for Chinese basketball. Although you are older than me and have more knowledge than me, the training of young people should be left to professional people. "

Xu Xiao directly interrupted his compliment with a wave of his hand.

"Mr. Xu, we must admit that you are outstanding, but if you take away all the seedlings of Chinese basketball, then what can we do to ensure that what you say is good for Chinese basketball?"

"What I do is very simple. I only take five people away every year, and please believe that if the person who can be taken away by me can be taken away by others in the future. If I take away, he can at least be guaranteed to be a Chinese citizen. It's not necessary to be taken away, this is my promise to you."

"This..." The other party obviously hesitated, because what Xu Xiao said was not without reason.

"Please believe me, although I was born in a foreign country, I am still Chinese at heart. Otherwise, what kind of training camp would I spend so much time in coming to China? What use would it be to me if I robbed you of your talent?" Xu Xiao saw The other party hesitated, looked at the other party sincerely again and said.

"Mr. Xu, since you said that, then we will trust you once, but you must promise me two things, otherwise, your basketball training camp will not be able to continue in China."

"please say."

"If the country needs it, the players who signed your contract must come back, and you must not stop them."

"Second, if a player fails to enter the NBA after the age of 22, or fails to gain a foothold in a higher level league, and the player does not agree to join the Rainbow Group, he will automatically terminate his contract with you and return to the CBA."

"Of course, this is completely possible and should be, but I also have two requirements."

"First, I only agree to the national team's competition. If it is an exhibition match, or a competition like the National Games, I will not agree. Second, these players have spent money and painstakingly cultivated, and they all contain my hard work, so It is right to return to China to play games, but if the players are injured and have not recovered, I have the right to refuse you, I don’t want the players I trained to fall because of injuries.”

Xu Xiao didn't give the other party time to react at all, and directly stated his two requests.

"The first one is acceptable, but the second one, what is an unhealed injury? Which athlete is not injured at all? If you refuse the national team mission because of a minor injury, isn't it justified?"

"It's simple. Look at this. Both of us do medical assessments. I have the most authoritative medical institution assessment in the world. You can also ask players to do it in China. Put the two assessments together and we are judging. Do you have the ability to continue fighting?"

Xu Xiao's words really made him unable to find any faults.

.......

"Mr. Xu, I think we can have many opportunities for cooperation in the future. We are all Chinese, and we need to be united in this matter."

"Xin Lao said that it is really a joy to fight side by side for the bright future of the Chinese men's basketball team."

"These old guys, I really hate dealing with them." Xu Xiao complained to Ainz while rubbing his face.

"But fortunately, the initiative is yours this time. As long as the training camp starts, these players will have to listen to you. If you really don't want to let them go, they will not dare to perform in the international arena. " Ainz said while pouring water over and over again.

"This time, you said that I was upset. It's not that I don't want them to go, but I just don't want these players to work for such a leader who doesn't know anything. After a few years, they will know that China is not without talents. It's their own leadership style that is problematic, and the league has more and more problems."

"And we also have passers-by. The training camp is only for young players, but passers-by is different. This is an industry that everyone can participate in. It gives opportunities to those who are capable but have no connections, and they accompany passers-by. Wang’s business that came into being is also extremely booming, and now in just one year, 6 people across the country have joined the Passerby King, and I believe that in the future, more people will enter my basketball empire.”

Xu Xiao confidently held the wine glass in his hand, raised his head and drank it down.

"Xin Lao, do you really want that kid to pinch talents away? They are all from the local sports bureaus. If you make such a fuss, I'm afraid..." asked a fat man who followed

"Is there a way to do otherwise? Look at what he said so easily. In fact, if he really wants to, he can do whatever he wants, give some money in private, support him to go abroad, and then promise a position in the Rainbow Group to stay there. In the end, we may change our nationality, and by that time, we will really have nothing to do with it.”

"How dare he do this? Isn't this the same as making an enemy of the people of the whole country? And what is he trying to do?"

"I don't know what the picture is, but he always looks like he is planning a strategy. He doesn't know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd. We can only hope that what he does is what we want to see." Xin Lao wiped his sweat.

Back then at the airport, he looked down on him, but now, he was actually being led away by this kid.

A week passed in a flash. Xu Xiao looked at the names on the list and screened out a total of 22 talented young people, but he could only take away 5 of them.

And there are several old acquaintances on the list.

"Ding Yanyuhang, Wang Zhelin, Zhai Xiaochuan" and other future national players, there was originally Guo Ailun here, but later he voluntarily withdrew. It seems that the club has put pressure on him. After all, Guo Ailun will set foot on the professional arena next year.

In addition, Abdul Saramu and Zhou Qi, who are not very conspicuous in the crowd, were also caught by Xu Xiao. These two are only 13 years old. In terms of strength, they must be the weakest among the 22 people, but their own potential very high.

Among those who did not enter the list of 22 people, Xu Xiao also found two familiar faces, Sun Minghui and Hu Jinqiu.

It seems that he can't take it away this time, so he can only wait for the next time, but I don't know if it will be as smooth as today when he comes back.

It is estimated that after I leave, the major training camps should start signing various mandatory contracts with these players.

"No, you can't sit still, you must take the initiative to collect those talents."

"Dayao, what's going on with you?"

"The progress is relatively smooth. This time, thanks to you, Boss Xu, if it weren't for your resources, I wouldn't have had the chance to make the acquisition."

"It's okay, but don't forget what you promised me. I have offended everyone who should be offended in China this time. I can only rely on you. After that, talented people will be sent to Shanghai. Yours The team will have a strong reserve force, and those who cannot be retained by my side will be sent to Shanghai in the future, as well as outstanding people selected by the passer-by king, to ensure that your team is full of talent."

"Then I will thank Boss Xu in advance. If you come back next year, you will return with a rewarding experience."

The two reached a secret agreement in this way. Although they both had personal emotions, they both sincerely wanted to develop for Chinese basketball.

Xu Xiao looked at the five people selected, among them Wang Zhelin, Ding Yanyuhang and Zhou Qi, Xu Xiao was sure that they would enter the NBA.

Not to mention Wang Zhelin's talent. In the 12 Nike World Championships, he shined with 19 points and 8 rebounds. If he went to the draft that year, he would be able to enter the lottery. The average of 13+20 in the next game is estimated to be at the end of the first round, but it was a pity that he was delayed because of the National Games. Later, after a serious injury, his athletic ability was basically disabled. That's it, even lying down and sleeping at home can be selected by the NBA.

Xu Xiao believed that after his transformation, he would definitely have no problem entering the NBA.

Needless to say Zhou Qi, just develop normally, the main thing is mentality.

Ding Yan Yuhang is a little troublesome. After all, his body does not have an advantage in the NBA, but it doesn't matter. Xu Xiao specially kept that Ginobili skill card, just waiting for him to use it.

As for Zhai Xiaochuan and Abudu, Xu Xiao believes that their talents are at least as good as Yuta Watanabe's. If they are determined and want to keep the NBA, it's not impossible.

He has already begun to look forward to the future of this national team.

The biggest problem now is how to make them have a winning mentality, just like Watanabe, take basketball and dreams as life pursuits, not a job.

Neither Wang Zhelin nor Zhou Qi has the determination of Watanabe. Xiao Ding and Abu can rest assured. As for Xiao Chuan, the man who has leg cramps and wants to put the ball in is still worthy of trust.

"Children, you have come to the other side of the ocean from a long distance, not to enter the Rainbow Group, but to dream in your heart. I know that basketball is more important to you than the Rainbow Group. Now that you have come here, you have opened a new era. Your own dream-chasing road, I hope, in the end, your efforts will not be worthless, there is a rainbow in your back road, but your own world is in front of you.”

After they arrived in New York, Xu Xiao made a welcome awareness for them, and this sentence was also sent by Xu Xiao. Although he knew that these two sentences would not change them too much, at least Can make their blood boil.

But now Xu Xiao can't spend all his time on them, because he has more important things to do, and that is the 2009 draft.

"Boss Xu, you've come." Seeing Xu Xiao's arrival, the Timberwolves breathed a sigh of relief.

"This is the report of these rookies. I have already sorted it out." El Gian reported to Xu Xiao.

Tomorrow is the draft, and Xu Xiao didn't dare to neglect. Although Xu Xiao knew the basics of this rookie, he still needed to know some details.

For example, Curry doesn't want to come to Minnesota at all. Even if Minnesota trades for draft picks and cuts him off, it may end up being a Francis-style ending.

"By the way, how about the deal I asked you to negotiate?"

"The opponent doesn't want the Lakers' draft pick and our draft pick this year. They hope to get a higher draft pick this year and a more guaranteed draft pick in the future."

"By the way, the boss, the Grizzlies made an offer to us before. Look, they are still very interested in the Grizzlies' draft picks, but this means that we will lose Gasol Jr. and Milicic. Inside players, is it really worth it for us?"

"Of course, it's completely acceptable. With us, Gasol can only always serve as a substitute for Oden. It's a bit overkill. Tell Gerrard, I agree, and the trade will be made tomorrow."
