Chapter 22 David Stern’s Attention

"The highest score in a single game in the NCAA?" Jeff Brown hesitated and replied: "I think it was 100 points. No, it seemed to be 138 points or 128. Well, I can't remember clearly."

Lu Feng: "..."

Sorry to bother you.

In the afternoon of the next day, Lu Feng took Zhang Weiping to meet with Lynn Nance.

After Lynn Nance learned about the situation, he recruited Zhang Weiping to the team without thinking. After two sentences, Zhang Weiping became the new assistant coach of the Huskies.

"There's no problem with the basketball exchange. I just need to talk to the school management!"

It was still at the end of the honeymoon between the two countries. Lynn Nance didn't think there would be any problems with the basketball exchange. The leaders at the University of Washington were also happy to do it. In addition, since he met Lu Feng, he also had feelings for Chinese athletes.

I have some interest and want to see it.

After obtaining the school's consent, Lynn Nance made another call to NCAA officials.

"Zhang, you can safely take the video back, but you still need to wait a few days before leaving. The NCAA people will bring the video playback permission."

After two days of busy work, Zhang Weiping discovered that things were developing even better than he expected. Not only could he bring back the news, he could even bring back several copies of the video.

"In addition, Zhang, your salary as a teaching assistant is not free. Don't forget to help me find out if there are any good talents in your country and ask them if they are willing to come and study abroad. Neither the school nor I would mind giving out a few more scholarships."

Seattle is the city with the third largest number of Chinese Americans in the United States, second only to San Francisco and New York, and most of the Chinese have savings in their hands. At this time, both Japan and South Korea have a large number of immigrants and international students. These two countries are also very wealthy.

Both the University of Washington and Lynn Nance feel the benefit of having a Chinese on the team.

Zhang Weiping left the University of Washington with a glowing face, carrying the video tape, the interview script written down in his notebook, and the letter written by Lu Feng to his family.

After Zhang Weiping left, Lu Feng's life returned to dullness again... Well, actually it wasn't that dull. More and more interviews and filming made Lu Feng feel a little uncomfortable.

His biggest realization during this period is that the NCAA really doesn’t treat students as human beings!

He has less and less time for classes and practice. Most of the time he is either doing interviews or on the way to interviews. In addition, he has to shoot various magazines and advertisements.

It is worth mentioning that Lu Feng and his roommate Jeff Brown also went to shoot a Playboy cover together.

The American imperialists have used countless cases to prove that their noble moral character will never use child labor, whether it is in the entertainment industry or the sports industry... not in any industry. As long as they do not pay, it is not considered the use of child labor!

The University of Washington has decided to give Jeff Brown an athletic scholarship, and the Huskies have become a strong team with three scholarship players at the same time.

In addition, Lu Feng heard from people in the student union that Jeff Brown is likely to receive an academic scholarship, but he will not be receiving scholarships this year because the quota is full.

Some time after that, the University of Washington played two more games and won easily.

After 7 games, Lu Feng's average data per game has also reached a terrifying level, averaging 40 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists per game, shooting 66% from the field, 50% from the three-point range, and 100% from free throws without missing a single goal.

Rate!

While Lu Feng's terrifying statistics aroused heated discussion across the United States, it also attracted the attention of more and more people.

In the two games after the victory over LMU, although both games were against weak teams, the venue was filled with fans and scouts from various NBA teams, and even the NBA vice president came once.

Lu Feng also noticed that in recent interviews, reporters asked him more and more whether he wanted to participate in the draft.

He knew exactly why, this hot man took action!

That's right, it's him, it's him, it's him, NBA President-David Stern!

Indeed, as Lu Feng expected, the recent changes in media trends are indeed the work of David Stern.

In the current draft lists predicted by various media in the United States, Lu Feng is consistently predicted to be among the top three picks. But the problem is that Lu Feng is only a 16-year-old freshman.

In this era, outside players generally stay in college for three years or more, and only a few like Ma Ji, who only study for two years.

David Stern knows very well how desperate American universities will be to keep students in the NCAA!

In order to retain talented players, coaches and school management go to students' homes again and again during holidays to lobby, tricking their ill-informed parents and coaching staff into doing ideological work with the school management.

What’s even more disgusting is that the NCAA also stipulates that players are not allowed to contact NBA teams in any way during their college years. For this reason, the NBA has absolutely no way to get the NCAA. If NBA team management wants to meet with NCAA players or parents, it is like engaging in guerrilla warfare.

of.

Since becoming the league president, David Stern has been deeply disgusted with the NCAA's behavior of forcing talented students to retain.

Michael Jordan has been in college for 3 years, and Larry Bird has been in college for 4 years. David Stern can't help but grit his teeth every time he thinks of these.

But fortunately, according to David Stern's observation, Lu Feng has his own ideas even though he is only 16 years old. He is a person with high IQ and EQ. Moreover, as a Chinese international student, he is a member of the management team of NCAA and University of Washington.

He also has no contact with his family.

But David Stern felt that this alone was not enough, so he did not hesitate to signal to the media that cooperated with the NBA and reminded Lu Feng during the interview: "Hey, man, it's time for you to go to the NBA. Why don't you stay in college?"

suits you!"

At this time, the NBA is not a Nike league. Nike cannot have the influence of future generations in this era. Jordan has not even won the championship!

Although there is no Nike, the NBA is not that clean. At this time, although the NBA league is not the Nike league, it is an undisputed media league.

But unlike the situation in the future when the NBA is completely controlled by Nike, at this time the NBA and the media have more of a cooperative relationship. The media affects the NBA, and the NBA can in turn affect the media.

In addition to hinting in interviews, David Stern can do more, such as...

"Of course I like Seattle. It's one of the quietest and cleanest cities in the United States, and Seattle's urban greening is very good. I like that!"

"The draft? I haven't decided yet, but I'm already preparing. Although I'm only 16 years old, I definitely have the ability to play in the NBA. I'm sure of it!"

"You know, I am an international student. I came to the University of Washington to study at first, not to play ball. I never thought it would be like this after coming to the United States. I still need to find opportunities to be drafted or stay in school.

The decision can only be made after family discussion."

After realizing David Stern's intention, Lu Feng did not rush to make a promise, but he was willing to give the other party some hints during the interview. He didn't know if David Stern would understand it.

In my memory, this year's Seattle SuperSonics didn't do badly, but they miraculously got the second pick. It's not impossible to do it again in this life.

Ever since the New York Knicks miraculously won the No. 1 pick and acquired Gorilla Ewing, the controversy surrounding the behind-the-scenes manipulation of the NBA draft has been escalating every year.

In order to save the league's image, David Stern decided to change the way the draft was drawn to prevent NBA teams from crazily messing up, but the effect was not obvious. The teams that should be messed up are still messing up. At the same time, about the draft

There are also more and more "shady theories" about the lottery.

But David Stern figured it out. Since you are openly showing off, the worst thing is that I am the same. I am just openly unhappy with the bad team. Is there anything you can do?

The current Seattle SuperSonics is the team that Lu Feng wants to go to the most. The team is full of young people, the team has good reputation, the salary space is healthy, the coach is open, the management is poor but they are willing to spend money, and it is a Seattle football team.

Team.

After returning from the away game and resting for a few days, Lynn Nance announced to the Huskies players the next opponent - LSU versus the Tigers!

The next game will be another of the Huskies' few home games, at Herc Edmondson Arena.

As a recognized strong team, the Huskies have no shortage of invitations. They have only played two home games since the start of the season. Most of them are away games to help sell tickets and increase the popularity of the team. This is also one of the unspoken rules in the NCAA.

After the Washington Huskies won 7 consecutive victories, Lynn Nance believes that the current mainstream short fast break teams will not be the opponents of the Huskies at all. To be more precise, they are not the opponents of Lu Feng. He just needs to make more room.

Just take action.

So after winning two games, Lynn Nance planned to let the team try to play teams with other styles.

The first ones he considered were the Duke Blue Devils and UNLV, but UNLV didn't want to meet the Huskies in advance and rejected Lynn Nance's invitation. March Madness is the real battlefield for the two teams.

The Duke Blue Devils agreed, but they asked the Huskies to play away games because they were too far away and didn't want to come. Lynn Nance didn't want to travel that far, so he settled for the next best thing and chose LSU to play the Tigers.

Although LSU and the Tigers are also fast break teams, they have a two-way team that goes against the trend, and LSU's perimeter is not weak, with Chris Jackson, who is currently considered by the media to be the third strongest perimeter player in the NCAA.

Sophomore Chris Jackson is a player with a different style from Lu Feng and Kim Bell. He is more like a Reggie Miller-style pitcher and is considered by the media to have a shooting ability second only to Lu Feng.

In addition, LSU also has second-year former All-American five-star high school interior lineman Stanley Roberts, who is 7 feet (213cm) tall.

The other one is the freshman who has attracted much attention since high school, Shaquille O'Neal.

LSU averaged 92 points per game in previous games and limited its opponents to 81 points. It protected the rim extremely well inside and was one of the strongest defensive teams in the league.

The game against LSU was a great test of Lu Feng's offensive ability. He was very satisfied with the choice of Lynn Nance because he was also very interested in LSU.

Not only because the weapons he has been practicing for a long time finally have a chance to be used in actual combat, but also because he is very curious about LSU players.

Shark and Curry template, finally get to meet each other!

On December 1st, the powerful showdown between the Huskies and the LSU Tigers officially started at the Huskies Edmondson Arena!
