Chapter Eleven: Joe Dumars, you're such a good man

Downstairs, Carl brothers and sisters.

"Carl, how about Zhou Yi?" Phoebe asked Carl excitedly.

Carl stared at Phoebe for a while, then laughed evilly and whispered: "You can't fall in love with Xiaoyi, are you?" Hearing this, Phoebe picked up the pillow on the sofa and threw it at Carl, "I know him and I for less than three hours at most. How could I like him so quickly? You were kicked by a donkey!"

Carl grabbed the pillow, then shook his head, looked disdainful, and sighed and said, "Oh, poor Xiaoyi..."

Phoebe leaned against the sofa and murmured in her heart: "To be honest, I really feel a little about him..."

When Zhou Yi woke up, it happened to be seven o'clock in the evening, but he was woken up by Carl's knock on the door. Zhou Yi washed up briefly and followed Carl downstairs to have dinner.

There was not a lot of hearty food at dinner, but some light food. But Zhou Yi was not dissatisfied with it. At this time, he didn't want to eat anything at all. Although there was no hearty dinner, red wine was still inevitable.

Phoebe helped Zhou Yi pour some red wine, and helped Black and Carl pour red wine, and became waiters. Zhou Yi picked up the wine glass and said to the Black family: "I just got here and I am not familiar with the place. Fortunately, I have you taken care of Uncle Black. I will toast you this glass of wine." As he said that, he finished drinking the wine in one sip.

Black, who has been in China for a long time, knows a lot about Chinese customs, and Carl also knows a little bit, but Phoebe doesn't understand at all. She just watched Zhou Yi finish the wine in one sip. Black and Carl saw Zhou Yi finish the wine in one sip, and also picked up the wine glass and drank it all. Phoebe was stunned. She had never seen anyone who drank red wine like this, so she opened her mouth wide in surprise.

When Carl saw it, he smiled and said, "You have heard a lot about China's stories. It seems that you don't know much about Chinese customs yet! Don't always think about playing every day, read more books about China."

Black smiled and said, "Your brother is right. You should read the books and study more. It just so happens that Xiaoyi lives with us in the future, so you can learn more about China from him."

After hearing Black's words, Phoebe was immediately happy and said mischievously: "Hehe, I can."

Seeing this, Zhou Yi and Carl looked at each other and smiled. I'm afraid only the two of them could understand the meaning.

While having a meal, Black said to Carl and Phoebe: "Xiao Yi came to the United States this time to see if there is any chance to enter the NBA to play, so when he trains in the future, you try not to disturb him."

"He can play basketball? He also wants to enter the NBA to play basketball?" Phoebe exclaimed.

"What's wrong? Is it strange for him to play basketball?" Black asked strangely.

"No, no, I'm just a little surprised. Judging from his appearance, he should be the kind who likes music, is quieter, and his body is too thin." Phoebe said.

When Carl heard this, he laughed and scolded, "Come on, Phoebe, who doesn't know the boys you like to play basketball? Did you like Xiaoyi even more when he heard that he could play basketball?"

"Shut your mouth and have a good meal!" Phoebe said angrily.

Black knocked on the table and said, "Can you two brothers and sisters calm down for a while? You will make noise from childhood to adulthood. Look at how sensible Xiaoyi is."

Phoebe pouted and said aggrievedly: "It was Carl who bullied me first. Dad, I was wrong." After seeing Black's mood improve, he said to him and Zhou Yi: "It just so happens that I can play basketball, so I will train with Zhou Yi in the future!"

After hearing this, Carl almost squirted out a bite of rice, and then smiled and said, "You are the only one? You'd better not disturb Xiaoyi." "Go to die." Phoebe shouted at Carl, and then looked at Zhou Yi pitifully.

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "I have no objection. If you want, we will train together." But Black said to Phoebe with annoyance: "Remember, don't disturb Xiaoyi, and don't bully him." Then he turned his head and smiled at Zhou Yi, "Actually, Phoebe's playing skills are pretty good. He is the main player of the University of Michigan women's basketball team. By the way, she is the point guard like you."

"That's right, maybe I can help you!" Phoebe said mischievously.

When the other three people heard this, they couldn't help laughing. When Phoebe saw it, she said seriously: "What I said is true." When everyone heard this, they laughed even harder.

Phoebe didn't care about this and thought to herself: Anyway, there will finally be someone to play with me in the future. That damn Carl won't play with me, hum...

…………

After dinner, everyone sat in the living room for a while and chatted. At nine o'clock, Black pulled Zhou Yi to his study.

After arriving at the study, Black dialed a number, which was from Choudumas. After dialing, a thick voice came from the other side of the phone.

"Hey, who is it?"

Black coughed, pinched his nose and said, "Guess who I am?"

After hearing this weird sound on the other side of the phone, he was quiet for a while, and then laughed: "Blake, call me so late, is there anything wrong?"

"Damn it, how did you know it's mine?" Black frowned and asked in surprise.

"Although you changed your voice, I thought about my friends, and only thought that you would do such boring things. Tell me, old friend, you don't call me easily. Is there anything?" Choudumas smiled.

Black was so angry that he blew his beard and stared at him, "Are you saying I'm a boring person?" "Haha, this is what you said yourself, I didn't."

Black then changed his tone and said to him with a smile: "I have something to do when I call you this time."

"Aren't you talking nonsense? Did you call me at this time and ask me to count the stars with you? Damn it, tell me quickly, what's wrong?" Choudumas said angrily.

Even Zhou Yi, who was standing aside and watching Black call, couldn't help feeling bored after hearing what he said.

Black laughed dryly and said to Dumas: "I went to China some time ago and found that there was a big change with me when I went there more than ten years ago."

After hearing Black's words, Zhou Yi felt the blood flow backwards and rushed to his brain, and a faint cry of boredom. Sure enough, Chaudhmas' angry voice came from the other side of the phone, "Blake, tell me the point, damn it, now should be my rest time!"

"Okay, okay, okay, talk about the key points, talk about the key points, damn it, I was just a joke with you just now. Is it necessary to be so serious?" After saying that, Black paused and continued, "I found a young man who played well in China and wanted to recommend him to you." Black's tone became solemn.

"Oh?" Dumas was surprised and said, "Tell me about his specific situation."

Black said "um" and continued: "His name is Zhou Yi. He just turned 18 this year. He plays a point guard in the school basketball team. He is six feet and two inches tall, weighs about 154 pounds, has an arm span of two meters, and bounces ninety-three centimeters. He has excellent playing skills. He is not only good at offense, but also good at activate the offense of the entire team. He has a very good passing awareness on the court, and is not inferior to the NCAA players at all. This is my personal opinion."

The other side of the phone was silent for a long time, and then said, "My players are enough. The boy you mentioned is really as good as you said?"

"At least that's what I think. To be honest, there are private reasons why I recommend him to you."

"oh?"

"His father and I are good friends. This child has dreamed of entering the NBA since he was a child, and has been working hard since he was a child. Moreover, his physical fitness is not very good and thin, which is not conducive to his defense, but this does not affect his defensive awareness at all." Black said truthfully.

Dumas stopped talking, was silent for a long time, and then said, "Blake, do you know that it takes many aspects and a long time to enter the NBA. Just by saying these few words, how do you make me believe it?"

"That's easy. You can arrange for him to go to your place to try. If it really doesn't meet your requirements, I won't say anything. I just hope you give this child a chance." Black said seriously, without seeing the sloppy look he had before.

Dumas thought for a long time before answering: "Okay, then if you have time, bring him here!"

In fact, when Black just mentioned his relationship with Zhou Yi, Dumas had already considered letting Zhou Yi come for a trial. He had decades of friendship with Black, so he naturally knew Black very well. Black would never joke about his team, let alone Black was also a shareholder of this team. Since Black did not talk about this with the identity of a shareholder, it means that the boy he recommended still has certain strength. Now, Dumas is becoming more and more curious about the boy from China recommended by Black.

After receiving Dumas' affirmative answer, Black said excitedly: "Dumas, oh, dear Mr. Dumas, you are such a good person. I only realized now, haha, Choudumas, you are such a good person."

When Zhou Yi saw this, he knew that the matter was completed and became excited instantly.

On the other side of the phone, Dumas heard Black's 'praise' to him and said angrily: "Next time, don't call me at this time, damn it." After that, he hung up the phone.
