Section 9 Leisurely Journey

On April 15, 2015, as the last day of the NBA regular season ended, the 14 teams that did not make it to the playoffs also determined their chances of winning the No. 1 pick:

Timberwolves (25), Knicks (199), 76ers (156), Lakers (119), Magic (88), Kings (63), Nuggets (43), Pistons (28), Hornets (17), Heat (

11), Pacers (08), Jazz (07), Suns (06), Thunder (05)

Since their teams do not need to pay too much attention to the playoffs, some general managers and head coaches who have other destinations have begun to press hard, comparable to the Hall of Fame, rare in more than 50 years and other exaggerated praises, which will make the enthusiasm for winning the championship over.

Deyang, full of heat again.

Where there's heat, there's news. When reporters want to test this young man with these questions.

Only then did they realize that this young man was a bit difficult to deal with. They searched all over Charlotte and couldn't find him at all.

Some of the uncrowned kings who were preparing to return home received messages from his agent BJ Armstrong.

…………

…………

If it's not in Charlotte, where will the protagonist of our story be?

The answer is: Chicago

Since Young chose BJ Armstrong as his agent, he followed this professional's advice and spent two or three days with his family in Charlotte.

I came to Chicago and started special training to strengthen my back and strengthen my dribbling.

"The two companies that contributed the most here are Orlando and New York, and many reporters were invited by them." After accepting interviews from some reporters, bj Armstrong told Young what he knew.

"Okay, I understand. I refuse to submit the medical report to them and reject the other party's request for a trial training." Although he thought he was the top pick, the other party's praise was really suspected of being "flattering".

"Okay, those two places are indeed not good. It will do you no good to go there."

"By the way, please take over my S and Twitter for me! I feel more at ease if I leave the promotion of such things to you."

"Okay, by the way, have you ever posted inappropriate tweets or Ss? Those things will be dug up by fans?"

"No, don't worry, I'm always paying attention."

…………

…………

"You have adapted to the intensity. My mission is over. You have done very well in the past few days." At noon on April 17, an excellent trainer was sitting on the basketball court of a hotel in Chicago.

Saying goodbye to his clients.

"Thank you for your company, which made me feel the distance between career and university." Although he only accompanied him to fight, he was still satisfied with the trainer's work attitude and spirit.

"Congratulations on your vacation now, but you have to maintain good health and physical condition. After all, the day of team trial training is not far away, and you can't mess up your No. 1 pick."

"I understand." Yang was also well aware of the other party's suggestion.

"Then did Benjamin arrange a nutritionist for you to guide you in terms of diet? After all, professional leagues are completely different from college games."

"I understand. If there is anything I need you for, I will call you for consultation."

"OK, no problem."

After returning to the room and cleaning himself, Yang took a taxi and left the hotel where he had stayed for nearly a week according to the travel plan he had set before arriving.

Since the hotel is not far from a bustling neighborhood, the taxi arrived at its destination: Michigan Avenue in a short time.

Yang originally believed that there would not be so many people on the street at noon, but not long after getting off the bus, Yang felt that his belief was wrong:

Not only was there no one on the street, it could be said to be a sea of ​​people. People appeared in groups of small and large before his eyes one after another.

After he found some passers-by and learned about the situation, he finally understood the reason why he encountered the huge crowd of people:

A department store in a certain neighborhood was having a collective sale, and the discounts covered the elderly, middle and younger generations. In addition, today was Friday, and there were more tourists, which temporarily blocked the neighborhood where Yang got off the bus.

…………

…………

After going through some directions, Yang finally found the destination of his trip: Water Tower Square

Here we raise a question. Young is a person who has neither signed a sneaker endorsement nor received a rookie salary. What is he doing when he comes to Chicago's one of the top high-end luxury centers? It can't be to go to the side.

Let’s eat at the catering center!

Naturally, he didn't want to eat, so he quickly came to a store and opened the door.

"Hello, do you have an appointment? We need to make an appointment here." As expected of a high-end luxury brand, the staff in the store appeared promptly as soon as you entered the door.

"Yes, I don't know whether he made the reservation under his own name or mine." As the draft day was getting closer, his agent directed him to this store called Oxxford.

"If you tell me your name, I can check it here."

"Benjamin Armstrong."

"Yes, that's the name. He ordered a suit with a blue color as the main body. He said it would be used in two months. He said the user's size would be very large and we needed to measure it ourselves."

"It looks like it's me. My size is big, and my shoes are all size 17 (size 51)." When his eyes fell on the shoes, Yang also rudely insulted himself.

"Yes, it's you. He also sent us photos for us to identify."

"Then let's get started!" In order to let the other party measure the data, he was also ready to be a "mannequin".

…………

…………

Ten minutes later, when the staff took the measuring tape away from Yang's body, Yang, who had been silent during this period, spoke:

"The person who made the reservation ordered a suit for me. Did he arrange a shirt?"

"There is an arrangement, and there is a set of finished shirts that follow the suit."

"OK"

“Do you sell individually finished shirts here?”

"Yes, what type do you want? Do you want me to bring it to you?"

"It's pure white, just take two or three pieces."

…………

…………

Holding two shirts, Yang walked out of the oxxford store and quickly found the store he wanted to go to: Ray-Ban

"This is the one." After entering the store, Yang directly picked up the glasses that best suited his eyes without looking carefully.

“What are the lens requirements?”

"Ultraviolet protection." Yang's purpose is clearly to prevent sunlight

"Where's the reflection?"

"Then what color do you want your lenses to be? Grey, brown or green. What color do you want your frames to be? Gold, gunmetal, black or silver." Seeing that Yang ignored him, the waiter started to ask about the color.

"One green lens and one brown lens. I want the green lens to be reflective, the brown lens to be UV-resistant, the green frame to be black, and the brown frame to be gold." Because gold is too conspicuous.

"If you want to buy two types, I recommend la light-sensing adaptive lenses, which are very good in reflection and UV protection. This way you don't have to spend money to buy two."

"Then get me the light-sensitive adaptive lenses. The frames are black."

"What's the price?"

"no problem."

"By the way, do you sell lensless glasses?"
