After chatting with Ross about basketball, Chen Jie and his relationship began to develop in a good direction.
At least, Ross slept peacefully at night.
The next day, the three of them embarked on a tour of the tourist metropolis New York.
With Ross, a future superstar, and Beyoncé, a Western beauty, Chen Jie feels that he is walking very vigorously. Chen Jie, who had been in love several times before and was too lazy to go shopping with his girlfriend, now feels like he has been given a shot of blood.
Speaking of girlfriends, Chen Jie officially dated three in his previous life.
Among them, the one with the deepest affection is definitely the last one, who was Chen Jie’s first love when he was growing up in the United States when he was young and later moved to high school.
That was the love he was most dedicated to and had the longest time with.
However, due to various misunderstandings about their long-distance relationship after college, the two separated.
This is also the eternal pain in Chen Jie's heart.
Many times, he thought that if he could start over again, he would definitely cherish that girl, the girl who was better to him than to himself.
Su Qianqian, this is the name of that girl, and it is also a pain that Chen Jie has never forgotten.
After shopping all morning, the three of them found a coffee shop to sit down and prepare to take a rest.
Chen Jie looked around at this unfamiliar country to him and the people coming and going. Beyoncé sipped her coffee and smiled. Ross had an indifferent look on his face. In his heart, although New York was prosperous, it was not him.
Favorite place.
What he likes, after all, is the windy city of Chicago where he was born and raised.
There, there is his dream.
"Little Ross, don't always look cold. Learn to be approachable. Come on, yes, smile!" Chen Jie looked around and felt a little bored. He glanced at Ross next to him and became interested in training.
As the saying goes, education starts from childhood, I was very compassionate and first taught little Ross a little awareness of being a star.
Ross gave a helpless fake smile, and Chen Jie was a little dissatisfied.
"Be sincere!"
Ross smiled again.
Chen Jie was still dissatisfied: "Be more sincere and make everyone feel that you are a very kind person!"
Ross was helpless. He didn't know why this man was crazy. He just tried his best to smile as sincerely as possible.
Chen Jie nodded slightly, glanced at Beyoncé, and said proudly: "How about it, you have potential?"
"What potential?" Beyoncé asked curiously.
"The potential to become a star!" Chen Jie rolled his eyes.
Beyoncé was helpless: "Star, you said, he wants to be a star?" Beyoncé pointed to Rose, who looked confused next to her.
Chen Jie nodded firmly, then patted Rose on the shoulder and said, "Yes, Beyoncé, believe me, within ten years, he will be a star! A star in the basketball world!"
Beyoncé doesn't know why Chen Jie is so confident. Just like she doesn't know why Chen Jie is so determined that Yao Ming will be the number one pick.
This man from the East really does have a lot of mysteries.
Beyoncé feels that she is becoming more and more interested and curious about Chen Jie.
When Ross heard this, he had a look of understanding on his face. He was moved by the man's trust and optimism in him. A trace of ill feeling disappeared, and he nodded firmly: "I will do it, Chen!"
Chen Jie smiled slightly and said: "Little devil, you are very ambitious! I'm optimistic about you!" This is another standard Chinese sentence.
Beyoncé and Rose were once again left in relative silence.
"Which rookie will the Knicks select this season? The big man from the East or the genius from Duke University?" A fan of the age of an uncle at the table next to him asked his companion this question.
When Beyoncé heard the word "Eastern", she also pricked up her ears. She also wanted to hear how other people relied on Yao Ming. What's more, wasn't the genius of Duke University his senior, Williams? This one
, she was also very interested.
Chen Jie saw the basketball culture in New York for the first time. Two middle-aged people who seemed not to know how to watch basketball in China were actually fans who could talk about basketball in a coffee shop?
Although the Big Apple has not had a good record these days, it has a good fan base.
No wonder James wanted to transfer a few years later. Many people speculated that he would come to the Knicks.
After all, for these superstars, the feeling of playing in Madison is comparable to winning a championship.
"Last year's third-to-last place in the Eastern Conference was only the seventh overall pick this year. It's probably impossible to get that big man from the Eastern Conference. I think many cities like Houston and Memphis, which are ahead of the Knicks, also need their hearts.
"As for Williams, New York has no shortage of point guards! Chicago needs it!" the uncle's companion talked eloquently.
Chen Jie secretly nodded in agreement.
When Rose heard the word Chicago, his attention was drawn to it.
"Or maybe the power forward with the same surname as the Little Flying Squirrel?" the uncle continued to ask.
Chen Jie thought to himself, where is Yao Ming's lifelong rival Stoudemire?
"I think he is a good fit, but I don't know what New York's management thinks. There is also a Brazilian Nene, who I heard has a very fierce style of play. These two people are actually of the same type. But, Stoudemire
His mid-range shooting ability should be better." Upon hearing this, the uncle's companion was a senior basketball fan.
Hearing this, Chen Jie shook his head, glanced at Ross next to him and asked, "What do you think?"
Ross hesitated and then said: "I think Stoudemire is better than Nene."
Chen Jie smiled bitterly again, you all only saw the surface.
Don’t you know that Stoudemire’s playing style makes him easily injured?
Nene used his body and height more, while Stoudemire used explosive power to solve problems. If a player like this is injured, his strength will definitely be inferior to before. What happened next day also proves this.
The New York management is actually very discerning.
Although their choice of Nene was criticized by the Citizen fans, subsequent developments proved that Nene is actually better than Stoudemire, although Stoudemire is more famous. However, New York was still unable to exchange for Stoudemire.
, Stoudemire's injury has also become a burden for New York.
Have vision, but don't stick to your ideas.
This is Chen Jie’s evaluation of the New York management team, led by Isiah Thomas.
After all, in the draft, you choose the future, not one or two years.
Although Stoudemire won the Rookie of the Year award this year, Chen Jie was really not interested in him.
Chen Jie felt that there was really no need to give such praise to a player who had a bad character, declining skills and no desire to make progress.
After all, it is because I have ten more years of memory that I can see things more deeply than ordinary people.
Chen Jie suddenly felt so lonely that the whole world was drunk and I was alone.
Then I remembered the tragedy of Williams, and my hope for changing the future was once again aroused in my heart.
"Let's go!" Chen Jie stood up and uttered one word firmly.
"Why are you going?" Beyoncé and Rose were surprised at the same time. They had just rested for a while.
Chen Jie glanced at the two of them, smiled mysteriously, and then said: "Go to the spot! Time will tell, comrades!"
Check out the spot?
Beyoncé and Rose looked at each other and knew he was talking about Madison Square Garden.
But, there are still three days until the draft, what should we do now?
I wanted to ask Chen Jie, but Chen Jie remained silent and just smiled.
