Chapter 6 006: The hidden godfather of the NBA? On the importance of the team behind it!

After defeating James in the National College Invitational Tournament at the Hook Youth Basketball Development Festival, Oak Hill High School continued its winning streak in the league.

The offensive and defensive combination of Ryan and Anthony is not at the same level as other players of the same age.

So, everything after that was no surprise. Oak Hill High School was undefeated until reaching the finals.

Although everyone knew that there was no suspense in the game, tens of thousands of fans still rushed to the scene on the day of the final.

And just like the previous game against St. Mary's High School, North Carolina coach Matt Doherty, Kansas coach Roy Williams and others were sitting in the audience.

Under the spotlight, Ryan and Anthony lived up to expectations and scored 62 points together.

Among them, Ryan scored 25 points and Angua scored 37 points. The duo completely dominated the game.

Ryan and Anthony did not capsize in the fish pond game, and a boring season of winning 29 games and winning the championship was born!

Throughout his senior season, Ryan averaged 25.3 points, 12.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 6.3 blocks and 1.4 steals per game.

The number of blocked shots is so terrifying that it's like opening an internet celebrity hotpot restaurant in Virginia.

Don't be surprised. With Ryan's physical fitness, it is not an exaggeration to achieve such statistics in high school.

When your opponent is shorter than you and has much less athletic ability than you, it is difficult not to block shots.

In the words of the opponent's coach: "My players were all crazy. They lined up one by one to block his shots and give him the ball!"

29 wins and 0 losses, defeating James on national live broadcast and becoming the state champion. Ryan and Anthony also brought an extremely perfect ending to their high school careers.

But the whole world knows that the honor of a mere Virginia state is too small for Ryan and Anthony!

Their future is extremely bright!

No, Ryan has received invitations from numerous famous basketball schools.

The decision between Ryan and Anthony is undoubtedly the most talked about topic among fans this summer.

There are rumors that Ryan will also join Syracuse University and continue to work together with Anthony.

There is also talk that Ryan will go to Kansas because coach Roy Williams appears too frequently at Oak Hill High School this season.

If you want to say that he doesn't have any bad thoughts about Ryan, no one will believe it.

But the day after the season ended, neither Ryan nor Anthony thought much about the next stop.

Anthony called Ryan early in the morning: "Lian, we are going out for dinner and drinks tonight, I have a date with a girl!"

To celebrate her successful graduation from high school, Angua specially called her girlfriend Lala and her peach bestie to Virginia.

Originally, Angua wanted to take out a loan to treat everyone to a fancy restaurant. After all, James' mother had already taken out a loan to buy a Hummer before her son entered the NBA.

But considering that he still had to go to college, Angua didn't take the risk.

After Anthony finished speaking, he heard Ryan on the other end of the phone breathing roughly, accompanied by a "pop-pop" sound.

Melon smiled: "Where are you running?"

"That's right. Training."

"Tsk tsk tsk, you polite scum! When that female fan hugged you after the award ceremony yesterday, I knew something was going to happen to you!

You're moving and talking on the phone at the same time, Ryan, I didn't realize that you are quite playful! "

"What are you talking about? I'm really running in the training gym."

At this time, Angua also heard the physical coach shouting on the phone, "Ryan, pay attention and hang up the phone!"

Anthony curled his lips:

"No. Brother, are you okay? Are you really training?

You just won the championship yesterday, why the hell are you starting training again today? "

"What if that's not the case? Should we use our youth to fall in love? Not even with dogs!"

"Lian, don't be so weird to me, just tell me whether you will come tonight or not."

"I may have to arrive late tonight, so you don't have to wait for me to eat."

"Okay, I'll wait for you to drink! Anyway, today, you will definitely get it! Don't be a coward, this girl is easy to get along with, and she also said that she doesn't care about her skin color, as long as the job is good, ah no, the person is nice."

Ryan secretly complained in his heart, she doesn't care, I don't care!

After hanging up the phone, Ryan began to concentrate on running laps.

Although there is a system in place, Ryan has been training very hard.

Because of the experience brought by training and competition, the system can be upgraded.

The harder you train, the more experience you accumulate, and the sooner you can level up.

Moreover, Ryan currently cannot freely add points to other attributes, so he can only improve his attributes through his own hard training.

After this period of hard work, Ryan has improved his mid-range shooting attribute to 54.

As long as he practices one more point, after Ryan adds Anthony's talent for catching and mid-shooting, his mid-range shooting attribute when catching and mid-shooting can reach 60!

He must develop the skill of mid-range shooting, because when he goes to the ABCD training camp next, Ryan will not have Anthony next to him, and no one will help him score!

29 wins and 0 losses in the league, state championship, these things Ryan really doesn't care about.

What Ryan cares about is the next ABCD training camp!

ABCD training camp is currently the most high-profile, largest and highest-level high school basketball event in Chouzhou.

At this time, the ABCD training camp was even more popular than Hook’s basketball summit.

From Kobe, McGrady, Garnett, to James and Anthony, all these high school geniuses started to become famous from the ABCD training camp.

Because the places in the training camp are very precious, those invited are elite basketball talents collected from all over the world!

Children who can show off their talents in this training camp will undoubtedly receive higher attention.

This amount of traffic is unmatched by mere high school state champions.

Therefore, Ryan, who was invited to participate, naturally wanted to seize this opportunity. What's more, there is Stoudemire, the No. 1 high school student who is about to participate in the draft, in the training camp!

Is that Stoudemire? That was simply a stepping stone for Ryan!

It stands to reason that players who are about to participate in the draft will not come to this kind of training camp to join in the fun.

But Stoudemire accepted many invitations to training camps in order to build momentum for himself and improve his ranking.

Ryan's goal is simple. He must perform better than Stoudemire in training camp!

Previously at Oak Hill High School, Ryan's reputation had always been overshadowed by Anthony's. No matter how well he plays, he will always be under Anthony's halo.

This ABCD training camp is a perfect opportunity for Ryan to defeat Stoudemire on his own.

He wants to prove that he can win even without Anthony!

That's why Ryan pushed himself crazily and practiced mid-range shooting, just to have another scoring method at the ABCD training camp and to have an impact on the offensive end without relying on Anthony.

The trainer couldn't help but smile when he looked at the sweaty Ryan.

Most senior talents like Ryan either enter the draft or are surrounded by major NCAA schools and are in high spirits.

But Ryan, he actually came to train the day after winning the championship.

This kid will definitely make a difference in the future!

It wasn't until 7:30 in the evening that Ryan dragged his exhausted body out of the training hall.

But he didn't go to Anthony immediately. In fact, Ryan didn't go to dinner with Angua because he had already made an appointment.

Arriving at the appointed place, Ryan found that it was just an ordinary restaurant.

But inside there were all black uncles wearing suits and sunglasses, and all of them were strong. Other than that, there were no other customers in the restaurant.

Ryan swallowed. Damn it. I am a time traveler and I am being targeted by CIA agents?

After shaking his head and ending his childish thoughts, Ryan walked into the restaurant.

When several strong men saw Ryan, they all gave way.

Ryan passed between them and sat on a booth.

Opposite him, a plain-looking bald black man smiled at Ryan: "Hello, Lion King Ryan."

"Hello, Wesley."

That's right, Ryan is here to meet a reliable agent!

William Wesley, the "Invisible Godfather" of the NBA, is one of the "most powerful people in American sports" selected by ESPN.

This mysterious man from an ordinary background is very strange, because no one knows how this little sports goods salesman built his own network in the NBA step by step.

People probably only know that he met Jordan through many friends when he was young. When Jordan first entered the league, his supporter Wesley was responsible for organizing various private parties for himself and providing various private entertainment projects for NBA players. and pick-up service.

This has allowed Wesley to gradually become a bridge between NBA players and the business, entertainment and political circles, and his influence has grown.

He often manages player transfers and transactions, and even the National Basketball Association has to ask him to persuade those stars to play for the country.

In the 1990s, when Falk was ruling the world as Jordan's agent, he never imagined that a pony named Wesley in Jordan's training camp would flourish in the future.

Of course, it is illegal for high school players, college players and agents to have relationships.

But William Wesley, he is not a direct agent.

He often only contacts players as a "friend".

The identity of the agent was handed over to his good friend Leon Rose-Iverson, who even served as James' agent for a while.

But almost everyone knows that Ryan Ross is just Wesley's shadow agent. The real boss behind the scenes is Wesley.

Removing the identity of an agent gives him more freedom in many aspects.

For example, now, if he meets Ryan as a friend, he will not violate the rules at all.

When Wesley found Ryan, he naturally wanted to cooperate.

The bald man showed a very kind smile, but he spoke straight to the point:

“Ryan, I’m really glad you’re here.

I have watched your game and you have the potential to become the best foreign player in the league. I am sorry that due to various regulations, we cannot currently provide you with any financial or material support.

But if you are willing to make friends with me, Ryan, believe me, we can make your influence in the basketball world even further! "

Ryan knew that Wesley didn't brag, he had the ability. It is said that Ajan was able to sign a sky-high 90 million endorsement contract with Gou before entering the league, including his participation.

When Leon Rose was James' agent, Ajan's influence also grew visibly.

As a professional player, being strong is really not enough.

If you don’t have a good team behind you, you won’t become popular.

Take Angua, for example, a high school genius who led his team to win the championship in his freshman year and led his team to the playoffs in his first year in the NBA.

The results of it? The Rookie of the Year award was given to Ajan, who had similar statistics to Angua, but did not make the playoffs!

To put it bluntly, Angua is capable, but the team behind him is much worse than James.

If Ryan wants to become bigger and stronger, of course he also needs a professional and influential team!

Wesley is very clear that internationalization is the next major wave of the NBA. With Ryan's playing style and strength, the commercial value is definitely not low.

There must be a sufficiently influential international player in his circle. If he doesn't take it, it will be a waste to others!

Ryan needs to increase his influence, and Wesley's team needs Ryan's commercial value to make money.

Both parties get what they need and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results.

Wesley knows that sincerity is very important if you want to build a relationship with a talented player, so he didn't waste any more nonsense:

"Ryan, we know next you are going to ABCD training camp to compete against Stoudemire.

Starting tomorrow, you will see newspapers across the country hyping this game!

And if you can win, I guarantee that within a day, every kid will know about Lane from Oak Hill High School!

Whether we can cooperate in the end will be discussed later, but at least now, dear Ryan, give us a chance to show our sincerity.

Give us a chance to make friends"

Two hours later, Ryan rushed to the bar where Angua was.

To be precise, it's a restaurant that also sells alcohol.

After all, at Angua's current age, he can't even enter a bar.

When he saw Ryan, Anthony immediately helped Ryan take the bag on his shoulder, and then quietly whispered in Ryan's ear:

"God, you look like a drowned dog!

I already told you that there is a girl today, why don’t you clean it up? "

Ryan had no interest in the black girl in front of him. His mind was now filled with Stoudemire and Wesley's operation, so he lazily replied: "I'm handsome even if I don't take care of her."

Anthony curled his lips speechlessly, and then began to introduce:

"This is my handsome and strong buddy, little lion Ryan.

Ryan, this is my girlfriend Lala, and this is her best friend Rebecca. "

Rebecca was obviously very interested in a handsome muscular guy like Ryan, and she took the initiative to extend her hand: "Nice to meet you."

Ryan shook hands politely, nodded slightly, and quickly looked away.

To be honest, Rebecca's figure is indeed amazing. This peach, Brother Deng can lose five pounds in one night.

But Ryan only has the big career of becoming a big star in his heart now!

Women seem a bit boring in front of this!

Ryan asked for a glass of juice. He had to go to the ABCD training camp next, so he didn't drink. Moreover, he couldn't buy wine.

Seeing that Ryan didn't seem to be interested in black peaches, Angua could only talk to Ryan about the NCAA:

"How are you thinking, man? Come to Syracuse with me!

As long as I tell the coach, 'If my brother can't go, then I won't go either', they will definitely give you a full scholarship!

Can you and I work together to kill all the college students? "

Ryan frowned deliberately: "Well, I haven't thought about it yet. Hey, after all, the school that invited me has moved from here to California."

"Tch, you're talking as if you're not."

During the conversation, on the TV in the restaurant, ESPN was interviewing this year's draft pick - Amare Stoudemire, the No. 1 high school student in the NBA.

In front of the camera, Stoudemire was very confident:

"I am very confident that I will become the No. 1 pick. Who is China? Li Ang? Wayne? Oh, yes, Yao Ming.

I don't know why he is the favorite, but I can definitely beat him easily.

If he and I play together once, people will know who is the favorite. "

The reporter quickly reminded:

"No, no, no Amare, your opponent now is not Yao, but Ryan.

The genius of Oak Hill High School, the guy who guarded LeBron for 9 points in a single game.

He was also invited to the ABCD training camp, and you may become opponents.

Do you think you have the confidence to beat him? "

Ajan, who was also watching TV in Akron, said it was fucked.

9 points in a single game is unbearable, right? ?

Will you stop mentioning this only if I score 8 points in a single game again?

After listening to the reporter's words, Stoudemire smiled in front of the camera. It was the kind of disdainful, mocking smile:

"Ryan? Who hasn't heard of it?

No matter who he is, he'd better stay out of it, or he'll die quickly.

Cameron has to be ranked second below me in the national rankings, so what does his assistant Ryan mean?

I'll take him down as easily as a layup! "

Anthony clenched his fists. He has always been worried about his ranking being inferior to Stoudemire.

After all, he and Stoudemire have never competed together, so why should I be ranked behind him?

But soon, Anthony's mood softened again, and he glanced at Ryan:

"Ryan, you will deal with him well in the training camp, right?"

Ryan took a sip of juice, if he could beat Stoudemire, plus Wesley's hype.

This opportunity must not be missed!

"Don't worry Guagua, you will never hear him talk nonsense in front of us again."

Anthony smiled evilly, the number one high school student?

Just wait, you're about to be in trouble!

The second update is here! Although it is only two updates, there are many large chapters, and the number of media words is very conscientious for the new book issue! As a conscientious old man, I beg you all dads for your conscientious pursuit and support, I beg you on your knees!
