The bald commentator and the mysterious figure entered the Owl Restaurant, and Dayao and Wenhao greeted them.
As expected, the bald commentator relied on his words. Before anyone else could speak, he introduced himself: "Everyone knows that I am the commentator, but Wen Hao doesn't know my name. My name is Richard Brown.
Just let me be Brown." Then he pointed at Wen Hao and introduced to the mysterious figure: "He is Wen Hao, the Chinese player."
The mysterious man looked at Wen Hao and said, "Chinese Wen, I've seen you on TV, you're very good."
The bald commentator turned back and pointed at the mysterious man and introduced to Wen Hao: "This is the director of Nike's China region. Oh, he likes people to call him by his Chinese name..." At this point, the bald Brown said with all his strength
He said in blunt Chinese: "Lu Hairui."
"Director...of Nike?" Wen Hao was a little surprised and confused.
While inviting everyone to sit down, Brown said: "Wen Hao, I lost the bet and wanted to treat you to dinner. Today I have fulfilled my promise."
"Yeah." Wen Hao responded noncommittally. He really didn't have the slightest fondness for this bald man.
Brown didn't mind Wen Hao's attitude. After all, it was his words that hurt people first. He took the menu and after ordering, he said: "And I also said that my meal is definitely the dream of all stars. In fact,
The reason is this..." He pointed at Lu Hairui, "Nike Company
As the director of the company's China region, as long as you are favored by him, signing a contract with Nike is almost certain. What's more, you are still a Chinese player. China has a huge market, with such a huge market as its backing, coupled with Lu Hairui's recommendation, I believe
Nike will definitely take you seriously."
When Wen Hao heard this, he understood the purpose of the bald man's explanation. He turned his head and glanced at Dayao, only to see Dayao nodding and smiling at him. He turned to Lu Hairui again, with doubts in his eyes. He didn't know why Lu Hairui looked at it.
He got himself. Although his performance in recent times has been good, he is far behind those superstars. You know, the people Nike wants to sign are all generation kings like Kobe James, and they don't look down on ordinary stars at all.
.
Lu Hairui seemed to see Wen Hao's doubts and replied with a smile: "We at Nike don't just look at superstars like the kings of the generation. In fact, we pay more attention to the support of potential new stars. As long as you have the ability to become a superstar
Potential, we'll probably offer you a contract."
"Oh," Wen Hao understood and felt ecstatic in his heart. Although he didn't care much about money, having money would at least make his parents live a better life.
However, although he was happy in his heart, his face was as calm as water. He asked Lu Hairui: "But I have been in contact with your talent scout before, and he said that he would participate in some kind of competition to decide the candidates."
"Of course, of course you have to participate in the competition. We at Nike are always very strict in selecting spokespersons," Lu Hairui said with a lot of hand movements when he spoke, spreading his hands, "But if you have any difficulties when participating in the competition, you can come to me.
I will do my best to help you solve it.”
When Wen Hao heard this, he seemed to get some clues. He nodded and said to Lu Hairui: "Thank you, I think my own efforts are enough."
"Oh?" Lu Hairui was surprised. Wen Hao's answer was very different from the Chinese people he knew. But this made him more interested in Wen Hao, "Okay, it's up to you, but if you want to find me,
You can contact me at any time. Dayao has my phone number."
"Yeah." Wen Hao still hummed lightly.
At this time, the waiter brought the dishes ordered by everyone. Wen Hao was also hungry, so he simply greeted the two people politely and then started eating.
Bald Brown and Dayao looked at each other, both shaking their heads and smiling bitterly. They originally wanted to let Wen Hao and Lu Hairui get to know each other, so that it would be easier to participate in competitions in the future, but they didn't expect that Wen Hao was not good at all.
But the more Lu Hairui looked at Wen Hao, the more interested he became. He did not follow others' influence, did not flatter others, had ideals and ambitions, which was very suitable for him. There are fewer and fewer young people like this nowadays. Even other senior executives of the company cannot see it.
Above Wen Hao, I must do my best to recommend Wen Hao.
…
After the meal, it was almost ten o'clock. Wen Hao and Dayao said goodbye to Lu Hairui Brown. Wen Hao didn't have a car, so he took Dayao's car and headed back to their residence together.
While driving, Dayao said to Wen Hao: "Wen Hao, what do you think of Lu Hairui?"
"It's okay." Wen Hao said a little slowly.
"As long as you have his recommendation, I dare say that your chance of signing a contract with Nike is at least 50%." Dayao said with a smile.
"Oh." Wen Hao nodded.
"There is one more thing to say..." Dayao said.
"What?"
"Your recent performance seems to be a suspicion of stealing Harden's limelight. Although I know you are unintentional, after all, he is still the boss of the team. Whether it is the coach or the owner, they will all turn to him, so you have to be careful in everything."
Yao said with concern.
"Yeah, I understand." Wen Hao replied. Over the past two years, traveling to various countries and NBA teams, he has seen too much about the intrigues between members of certain teams. He was also slightly concerned about this matter.
I have noticed something. But at the moment, I am just a substitute, and Harden doesn't even bother to challenge himself. As for what will happen in the future, let's just take it one step at a time, and just be on guard at all times.
Back in the rental house, Wen Hao rested peacefully for a night, and went to training early the next day. After he completed his daily tasks, his physical fitness increased a little, and now it has reached 36, which is comparable to the Lakers.
The team's Blake and his ilk had to bear it hard. The improvement of his physical fitness was also of great benefit to him in using both virtual and solid steps.
In the past, when performing virtual and physical steps, if he was lightly bumped by a strong guy, his steps would be a little messy. But if his body is strengthened to the extent of James in the future, his steps will become more natural and powerful.
increase.
After training, there was a break at noon, and in the evening, the Rockets faced the Toronto Raptors at the Toyota Center.
The Raptors' record this season is also quite good, and their offensive firepower is also very strong. They attacked fiercely from the beginning, making the Rockets unable to find their way. And their defense today was also very good. In the first half alone, it can be inferred that
8 times, forcing the Rockets to make 12 turnovers.
On the other hand, the Rockets felt cold today. In the first half, Harden made 2 of 13 shots, Parsons made 2 of 7 shots, and even Howard in the paint only made 3 of 7 shots. At the end of the first half, the Rockets had already made 2 of 7 shots.
Trailing by as much as 15 points.
Drexler, the commentator on the sidelines, shook his head helplessly: "Today's Rockets seemed to have had too much rest and were unable to wake up. The entire first half was like sleepwalking. Who can save the Rockets? Who can make the Rockets reverse in the second half?
"
When the word "reversal" was mentioned, the other two commentators suddenly thought of a name: "Maybe it was Wen Hao who led the Rockets to a 22-point reversal in the last game."
