Not only Woody Hayes saw the yellow envelope in the scout's hand, but the media reporters on the sidelines also saw the yellow envelope. And they also recognized it as a Duke scout.
In just one day, the news that Woody received the autographed letter from Old K spread throughout the high school basketball circle.
Now, Woody has more scouts to deal with.
They are all scouts from NCAA universities.
Lao K has already taken action, how can they still sit still!
They all bring the ideas and commitment of the head coaches at their respective schools.
Woody can no longer remember clearly what some NCAA Division II head coaches said. Before Christmas, he already had offers from at least ten NCAA Division I companies.
Among them are some of the top NCAA teams like the Duke and Blue Devils.
Stephen Curry is envious.
Especially the "handwritten letter" from Old K, he turned over it over and over again. Duke is one of Dell Curry's favorite universities, and Stephen Curry's goal is to join Duke in the future and become a Blue Devil.
Be a part of the family and fulfill his father's expectations.
"Man, don't look at it. Woody won't turn into Steph Curry if you look at him again."
Woody's teasing made Stephen Curry smile awkwardly. He folded the letter and returned it to Woody's hand. But his eyes were still fixed on the letter.
This is a real desire!
Woody patted his head: "Don't worry, if you keep going, sooner or later there will be an envelope signed with Stephen Curry from Duke!"
Although he will be 15 years old in a few days, Stephen Curry is still easy to tease. With just such a sentence, he immediately beamed.
Mainly, he is indeed very satisfied with his performance since the new season.
On December 23, Woody met Dell Curry, whom he had not seen for a long time. He came to pick up Stephen Curry to go back for Christmas. Of course, he could have asked Stephen Curry to buy his own ticket to come back, but he wanted to
After thinking about it, I decided to come to Akron to express my gratitude to Woody for taking care of Stephen Curry during this time.
Originally, he invited Woody to his home as a guest, but when he heard that Woody had already made arrangements, he didn't force it.
Stephen Curry reluctantly waved goodbye to Woody: "Goodbye after the winter vacation, Woody, Merry Christmas!"
On December 24, Woody took Wu Erzhuang to Detroit to watch the "Christmas War" that started at the Palace of Auburn Hills on the afternoon of December 25. Wu Erzhuang specially changed into a suit that Woody had not seen him wear before.
, the whole person is very upright, but the style is a bit old-fashioned. Then Woody found out that Wu Erzhuang bought it two or three years ago and planned to wear it home when he "returns to his hometown".
It can be said that except for Wu Erzhuang's failure to realize the "American Dream", he has thought of everything that should be thought of.
But now, it is finally put to use.
Before Wu Erzhuang came to watch this game, he had learned that the tickets for the "Christmas Fight" were much more expensive than usual for the back rows. Courtside tickets like the ones they had could only be bought for less than 100,000 dollars.
Even if Detroit is not a big city like Los Angeles, the price is at least around 20,000 to 30,000 dollars.
When he first heard that side tickets for this event were so expensive, Wu Erzhuang's first reaction was to sell the tickets.
This is enough for them to live happily for the next period of time.
Woody had such a plan at first, but when he thought that the ticket was specially given to him by Ben Wallace, it would be a bit rude for him to sell it like this. He felt sorry for his uncle's feelings, so he turned to his uncle.
"Hua Dabi" said: "Don't be reluctant, second uncle, your normal life will be like this from now on, this time you should adapt in advance!"
Wu Erzhuang's eyes suddenly lit up: "Is it true? Your second uncle has little education, so don't lie to him!"
Woody: "Of course it's true, uncle!"
Wu Erzhuang immediately stopped being coy and even dressed up specially to attend.
Ben Wallace's enthusiasm exceeded Woody's expectations. He even went to the airport to pick him up. In addition, he booked a hotel next to the arena with Woody and the others: "Detroit is not very safe. You are not born in the right place."
If you’re familiar with it, it’s better for me to arrange it!”
The words were well-founded, and Woody couldn't refuse. He thought that when he entered the NBA in the future, he would prepare a return gift for Ben Wallace. Then he persuaded Wu Erzhuang to accept it with peace of mind.
I also ate with Ben Wallace in the evening.
His annual salary is not high among NBA players. It is only 5.2 million, which is a middle-class contract. It cannot even reach the All-Star level, let alone the maximum salary, which is even worse.
But for Woody and Wu Erzhuang, he is simply a rich man.
Before Woody came, he thought of saving money and just watching a game. Unexpectedly, his words came true, and he actually took Wu Erzhuang to experience the good days in the future.
This is actually Ben Wallace’s original intention.
He knew that Woody's family was not well off, but he didn't want to do bad things with good intentions, so he had already prepared to reimburse Woody for all his food and accommodation here.
As for the air tickets, that's not a problem. The total distance from Akron to Detroit is only 300 kilometers. The air tickets are still very cheap. It only costs ten or twenty dollars.
After spending "Christmas Eve" happily, the "Christmas War" has arrived.
This is a characteristic of the NBA, because on this day, of the four major sports leagues in the United States, only the NBA has games, and it is also a day for family reunions, so the attention has always been very good.
Even the audience at the Palace of Auburn Hills looked more starry than usual.
Of course, compared with the Staples courtside tickets that even big-name stars can't get, the courtside tickets at the Palace of Auburn Hills are relatively "cheap", especially the courtside tickets for this group of stars, who all took the initiative to call the management.
, the additional tickets sent out.
Therefore, you can see that there are several seats on the sidelines that are not full until the game is about to start.
It’s not that no one bought the tickets for these locations, it’s that the tickets that were given out were collected by people but they didn’t come!
Woody is also a complimentary courtside ticket, so his position is right in the middle of this group of stars.
This made Wu Erzhuang very excited. Next to him was the famous movie star Judy Greer, and next to him was also a star that could only be seen on TV. He suddenly became nervous and sat on pins and needles.
It's like a thorn in the back, like a lump in the throat, just like stepping on a landmine, not daring to move.
Woody is relatively normal. In the past three or four months, he has been interviewed less than a hundred times, which is about the same. He has gradually become familiar with the camera, and he no longer feels awkward.
But he was completely shocked by the atmosphere at the scene.
The auditorium of more than ten thousand people was completely full, and all kinds of noisy sounds filled his eardrums.
Especially when the home team players came on the field, the cheers were simply...
The home court of St. Mary's High School is completely incomparable to this.
And as far as Woody knows, Detroit fans aren't even considered fanatics!
Thinking that he would play on such a stage in the future, Woody's "star disease" gradually became restless.
I can't control it, I can't control it at all!
He is a little more eager for the NBA...
When the game was about to start, someone finally took the empty seat next to Woody:
She is not very tall, but the long black dress makes her entire figure look uneven. Her big waves and a pair of sunglasses that cover half of her face make it difficult for Woody to see her face clearly, but this bright
The red lips are particularly eye-catching.
And when she took off her sunglasses, what was more eye-catching than her bright red lips were her charming eyes.
Woody knew very well that the other person looked at him not with any discharge, but with curiosity, but those lake-blue eyes seemed to have their own charm. Fortunately, Woody dodges quickly, otherwise something would have to happen.
Phew~
Woody knew very well that this was a woman who would affect his speed.
The DJ on the scene introduced the big star on the sidelines at this time, and Woody soon learned the name of this woman:
Megan Fox.
What Woody didn't expect was that the on-site DJ actually introduced his name with extremely exaggerated words:
"The super genius of St. Mary's High School, the sunshine that even LeBron James can't block, Woody~"
Wu Erzhuang didn't expect his eldest nephew to be so good, so he quickly walked up to him and rubbed the camera, looking at himself on the big screen... Although Wu Erzhuang had always known that his nephew was in the newspapers every day, until now
At that moment, he truly felt that his nephew was a star.
Wuhu~
take off!
Woody noticed that Megan Fox was casting curious glances at him again, and smiled generously. Megan Fox probably didn't expect that Woody would take the initiative to "attack" her, and responded with a shallow smile.
, looks like Umeko-chan~
Before the game started, Ben Wallace came to give Woody a high-five and asked him how he felt watching the game live.
Woody nodded: "Very good!"
"Do you have the urge to enter the NBA quickly?"
Ben Wallace couldn't help but reveal his true thoughts. Fortunately, Woody didn't think too much, but nodded and said honestly: "I even want to play tonight!"
"Hahaha!"
Ben Wallace listened to Woody's words and smiled happily.
It's not like all the hard work was in vain.
He definitely hopes that Woody will run for the draft next summer, otherwise the Pistons will not have the chance to draft Woody next year.
It's just that this matter developed as he hoped, but the Pistons fell into passivity from the beginning of tonight's game.
No matter how Rick Carlisle adjusts, the Pistons cannot restrict the opponent's core player, Tracy McGrady, the NBA's current "scoring leader" this season.
Woody was a little surprised to see him "smashing in and out" of the Pistons' defensive formation.
When he looked at this guy before the game, he felt as if he hadn't woken up.
I didn’t expect to be on the court...
Although he still felt like he hadn't woken up, Woody's eyes were opened to this cool and handsome playing style.
Later, Woody learned that this guy was one of the most physically gifted players in the NBA.
Of course, playing well and looking good has nothing to do with physical talent.
Just call Woody "brother", my mother is Woody's "fan brother", this talent is really explosive, and the action of playing ball is also really stiff. Fortunately, he looks domineering, and the dunks he performed are also shocking enough.
, the nickname "Little Emperor" can still be held.
The first half ended quickly, with the Pistons trailing by 8 points, which was not a small difference. Ben was no longer in the mood to chat with Woody, and walked dejectedly toward the home team's tunnel.
He called Woody here, but he didn't ask him to come and see this.
It was also because the Pistons were lagging behind. During the halftime break, the atmosphere at the scene was very dull. When the on-site DJ saw this situation, it didn't look like Christmas!
Dang even launched the interactive program "Kiss if you take a photo" which is common in arenas!
Several consecutive sets of shots of men and women kissing together successfully made the atmosphere at the scene lively again. But the DJ was obviously addicted to playing. In the next set of shots, he directly aimed at the audience on the sidelines.
By coincidence, Megan Fox and Woody appeared on the big screen together.
Since they were all celebrities, the scene was immediately stimulated, and the shouts of "kiss, kiss" were particularly unified.
Woody turned his head and glanced at Megan Fox next to him with some embarrassment, wanting to see her reaction, but saw that the latter's pretty fox-like face was also sizing him up.
"Is this your first kiss?" She saw Woody's embarrassment.
Woody thought about Megan Fox's problem.
Don’t tell me, it’s true!
Maybe it was because I had never experienced anything like this between a man and a woman before, so I felt a little at a loss.
It’s the first time, it’s always like this!
"Then I made a profit!"
With that said, Megan Fox took the initiative to come closer, and Woody presented his "first time".
Megan Fox's faint smile resembles plum jam, and her lipstick tastes like mint.
