Chapter 66: The Global Trend (Part 1)
Ji Feng, who simply celebrated, followed James to a cafe, where they will discuss the future plan together. Ji Feng has already invested all the funds in the early stage, and James will get the rest.
"Let me see what we need." James flipped through his notepad and wrote a lot of stuff on it. It seemed that James was really interested, after all, he didn't want to let Ji Feng down expect.
"First of all, of course, the place to live. Now that you have signed a contract, you can't stay in a hotel forever. The Grizzlies generally provide temporary accommodation for new players, but this is not a long-term solution." James said .
"Of course, I mean to rent a set near the arena first. It doesn't need to be too big. It's closer to the arena, so I can run over there." Ji Feng gave his own advice, just to complete the daily task of 10 kilometers .
"No problem, leave it to me, I know a lot of guys who want to rent a house." James indicated that there was no problem.
"The next step is that we need to form our own team, set up a studio, and then recruit nutritionists, physical fitness trainers, and some other personnel. How about Ji Feng, do you have any good suggestions for names?" James said. .
"The name doesn't matter, let's just call it Team Peak." Ji Feng thought that Dayao's team was called Team Yao, so he took it rudely.
"You're the boss, what you say is what you say." James shrugged and indicated that he was fine.
"The next thing is the most important, how should we deal with the media." James said, closing the notebook.
"Media? I'm not famous..." Ji Feng said.
"No no no, Ji Feng, you don't understand, you are the first high school player in Asia, you made history! I already have a premonition about what kind of sensation the news will cause when it returns to China! No, you will shock the whole world. !"
James said excitedly: "Even if you want to keep a low profile, the media will not let you go. You have to understand that the NBA is a business league, and there are no secrets here. Passively accept it as scheduled. It is better for us to take the initiative. This is also to expand our influence. Great opportunity!"
"Don't get excited my brother." Ji Feng looked at James' face flushing red, worried that his blood vessels would burst in a while, and hurriedly handed him a cup of coffee to calm him down.
"I think we still have to keep a low profile. After all, I just signed a contract and I haven't achieved much. If I can't perform well, I may soon be forgotten, and then the number one in Asia will become a shackle. So we Just be appropriate. Just in two days, the Grizzlies will hold a press conference, so let's just talk about it." Ji Feng said calmly.
He hasn't forgotten the countless stories of becoming famous when he was young. Not to mention, Dak Milicic is now in the Grizzlies, and he doesn't want to repeat the same mistakes. His task now is to work hard to enter the rotation in the Grizzlies, play games, and continue to improve his strength!
"You're right." James calmed down again. "Then let's wait patiently."
However, Ji Feng and James obviously still underestimated the influence of Ji Feng's successful entry into the NBA.
While Ji Feng and James were chatting about planning in the cafe, a trend called Ji Feng was spreading around the world.
First of all, the official website of the Memphis Grizzlies updated the news. The news that the 18-year-old Chinese supernova Ji Feng successfully passed the trial training and signed a contract appeared on the homepage.
This news suddenly detonated the entire American basketball world!
For the first time, everyone thought it was a not very funny joke, and some people even thought that someone had hacked the official website of the Grizzlies. After all, 18 years old, China, supernova, the combination of these three is really unbelievable.
But soon the Grizzlies responded, proving the authenticity of the news. This time the American basketball world is completely restless. This is actually true. Is the world changing too fast, making them unable to keep up with the rhythm of society overnight?
So they quickly encountered the first question, who is Ji Feng? Where did he come from?
The ignorance of the news irritated the American media, thanks to the Grizzlies' secrecy.
Then sports reporters from all over the United States swarmed. ESPN and TNT all sent their strongest lineups to Memphis. They wanted to know if the player who could create the youngest record in Asia had wings!
After that, someone finally listed Ji Feng's information neatly and posted it on the Internet. This time the American basketball world is even more confused. It doesn't look like he can enter the NBA at all!
Take a look at this information, he is 195cm tall, 18 years old, and doesn't have a particularly terrifying body. The most important thing is that he doesn't even have a professional league record. He can come to the NBA without even playing in the CBA?
"This is just a joke. The Memphis people are purely for the development of the Chinese market. They know that their team is bad, so they don't care about the record at all. I can guarantee that this Chinese kid will not be able to play even a minute in the new season!" First speech Of course, it's Barkley, who is known for his big mouth, and he shot directly on TNT's live show. He seemed to have forgotten the taste of a donkey ass.
"I think, maybe this young boy from China can surprise us. In any case, he has created the record for Asian players to enter the NBA." Smith has not met Ji Feng, but he thinks it is very interesting.
An Asian who did not participate in the draft and joined the NBA through trial training at the age of 18. What a wonderful topic. The new season will be very exciting. He can't wait for the start of the new season.
"Come on, man, I seem to see the next Dak Milicic. The Grizzlies have become a concentration camp for parallel imports. Looking at their lineup, Gasol can consider a transfer in the new season." Barkley disdainfully Said, he just thinks the Grizzlies have a hole in their brains.
There are those who disdain Ji Feng, and of course there are those who welcome Ji Feng. After learning the news, Dayao first welcomed Ji Feng: "Welcome Ji Feng to the NBA, and welcome you to find me in Houston!"
The 6th overall pick in this year's draft also expressed his welcome. At this time, he was training in Milwaukee. When the reporter asked him, he was stunned. He couldn't believe that someone could reach the NBA like Ji Feng.
In any case, Ji Feng successfully attracted the attention of the entire American basketball circle, and with a large number of news reports quickly sweeping the United States, regardless of whether they paid attention to the basketball circle or not, they soon knew that there was an 18-year-old Chinese boy , successfully signed the NBA!
They are all waiting for the upcoming preseason, and they have to see what Ji Feng is capable of.
