"Sports Illustrated" influence is huge.

Many players are proud to be on the cover, and those who can be on the cover are all superstars or potential superstars in American basketball.Those who can write a feature report in this tone are also the elite of the elite.

This word-of-mouth blessing for Su Xi is unprecedented.Now the name of Su Xi the lamb is spreading all over the United States. Even if many basketball fans have not watched Su Xi's game, they are attracted by this article and yearn for Su Xi. As a result, NBA scouts took action, and NBA teams turned their attention to Syracuse University.

Larry Bird flew into a rage in his office, slamming the story on the desk.He scolded: "What is Sports Illustrated doing? Why don't you report James, Wade, Bosh, Hinrich, TJ Ford. What are you doing with my lamb Suzy?"

This made his assistant tremble.

He didn't know why the 'boss' suddenly lost his temper. Is a rookie worthy of being so angry?
However, as an assistant, he had to remind his boss: "Actually, this article was also on the headlines of Yahoo Sports today. There is a lot of reading on the Internet."

Yahoo is a portal website in the United States. In 2003, it had almost invincible traffic. Any home computer user would browse Yahoo when he turned on his computer.

At this time, almost all computer users who care about sports have seen the content of Lamb Suxi.

This is an unprecedented promotion.

In a way, it put Suzie in the same position as the super-hot rookie all at once.

And because the article was so well written, it got Suzy her first fans.

Most importantly, Su Xi's commercial value has also increased.

After LeBron James' agent Goodwin saw this, his eyes froze: Is there such a way of promotion and marketing?Oh man, this guy must have a talented management team helping him out.Just wait and see, there will be sponsors coming soon.Suzy the lamb, bizarre car accidents, legendary training camp content, upgrades along the way... No one doesn't like such story heroes.

In contrast, he even felt that his packaging of LeBron James was a little less storytelling... directly defining him as the chosen one.Divine right.

Kobe Bryant also received a call from his boss Bass, who told him: The point guard you recommended to me is famous, and many teams are looking for him.It's impossible to pick him with our current draft picks. I estimate that he will be selected between 15-25 in the first round, if he takes advantage of this trend to participate in the draft.

Kobe froze, he thought it would be enough at the end of the first round.

"No, I have to get him. You find your own way." Kobe has strict requirements on his boss Bass. He had the ambition to rectify the workplace when he was young.

Within a day, the basketball circle formed an earthquake-like response, but this earthquake was in the hearts of the practitioners and passed on from word to mouth among the fans.

Everyone knows that there is a super dark horse in the NCAA who specializes in killing talents: he has a legendary story, he has a handsome face, and a cute nickname.

...

After Carmelo Anthony finished reading the magazine, he clapped his hands and said excitedly: "Jack, how much did you spend to let this reporter write this for you? This is great! You will definitely be super favored by the NBA. Believe me, there will be countless media interviews with you in the next game, and a lot of scouts will pay attention to you. You have become famous!"

spend money?

Su Xi spread his palms and said, "He wrote my story without my consent, shouldn't he pay me for the manuscript?"

Anthony fainted.

"Do you know how many players dream of being in Sports Illustrated, even a small interview will get them excited and the market will skyrocket. Now they have a special issue for you. This is the treatment that players of LeBron James and my level have."

Anthony was very excited.

He is happy that Su Xi has received key reports from the authoritative media, and he is now sure that Su Xi will definitely receive extensive attention from the NBA.He was even thinking, I must make more balls for Jack in the semi-finals, and it would be great if we continued to play on the same team in the NBA.

Suzy is going to visit McNabara in the hospital.

Originally, Cameron was also traveling with him, but he had an important interview temporarily, and his prospective agent Bill Duffy helped him conduct it.

Before the Final Four, Syracuse players return to campus for two days to recuperate, and then they will go to the most important game or two of the year.

Their opponent in the Final Four is the Southern Division champion Texas Longhorns.

In this game, Suzy will usher in the first NCAA superstar in his basketball career, TJ Ford!

TJ Ford became famous very early. He became famous all over the United States in high school, and led the team to a terrifying record of 75 consecutive victories.After entering the University of Texas, he grew into an absolute core in the first season, and was the first freshman in NCAA history to lead the country in assists, and led the team to the Sweet Sixteen by himself.He was praised by the media as the faster Allen Iverson and the better passing Allen Iverson.

This season, his achievements are even more astonishing.Not only was he elected as the MVP of the BIG-12 division, but he was also elected as the MVP of the Southern Division that just passed.In the four games of the national competition, he averaged 17.8 points, 8.8 assists, 3.3 steals and 3.2 rebounds per game.His name was also at the forefront of Sports Illustrated and The Athletic's player of the year selections.

Everyone knows that he will go to the NBA, and everyone knows that he will become a star player in the NBA.Even in this year's draft environment, he has been considered by multiple draft forecasting agencies to be selected at least in the top eight.

This will be a real test for Suzy.

Jim Boeham showed Suzy a lot of TJ Ford tapes after learning the opponent was the Longhorns.He also comforted Su Xi: Even being defeated by TJ Ford is not a shameful thing.You will always be our best point guard at Syracuse, and you will certainly be the best point guard in Syracuse history.

On the way to the hospital, Su Xi kept thinking about how to deal with TJ Ford, and then, he ran into Huang Xiaoman, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, under the dormitory building.

Seeing Huang Xiaoman, Su Xi subconsciously stopped, and walked to Huang Xiaoman's side.

This move filled Huang Xiaoman with joy.

"Have you read the "Sports Illustrated" report?" Huang Xiaoman raised her head, she said a little proudly.

"I see." Su Xi nodded
"I asked Eric to write it. He is the uncle of a friend of mine. He works for Sports Illustrated." Huang Xiaoman said, "And my uncle works for Yahoo. They cooperated and pushed this report."

Ok?
Su Xi was very surprised, he looked at Huang Xiaoman.He didn't expect that all of this was Huang Xiaoman's handwriting. Thinking of the article she posted on Georgetown University's BBS before going to Georgetown for the first time... it seems that it is not difficult to reason.

It's just... who would have thought that she would play so big this time.In the words of Anthony and the others, it detonated a shock bomb for the NCAA, and everyone who cared about basketball saw the gorgeous fireworks.

"Uh... thank you." Su Xi said.

"You're welcome, this is what I should do." Huang Xiaoman raised her head, she was very brave, her eyes looked directly at Su Xi, her love was undisguised.

Su Xi was a little embarrassed.

He said, "How have you been lately?"

"I've already completed my college courses, and I've taken several certificates." Huang Xiaoman said.

"You have always been so good, and your ability in learning is far beyond my reach." Su Xi said convincingly.He suddenly remembered the first time he met Huang Xiaoman, he said: "Why don't you accompany me to visit my teammates now, and then we go to that Chinese restaurant for dinner together?"

"Okay." Huang Xiaoman jumped up, she automatically stood to Su Xi's left, and logically took Su Xi's hand.

At that time, Su Xi felt as if he had been electrocuted, his face turned red immediately, and he felt that the pores all over his body were numb.

But he did not refuse to have physical contact with Huang Xiaoman.

Seeing Su Xi like this, Huang Xiaoman couldn't help laughing.

"Are you going to visit McNabara? Shall we go buy some fruit." Huang Xiaoman made arrangements for Su Xi.she always has everything
Su Xi listened to her.

Then, they began to chat about the recent weather, the wild ducks by the lake, and the weeping willows.

"By the way, Jack. I heard that you rejected Jessica Alba's courtship?" Huang Xiaoman suddenly said this during the chat.

Su Xi hasn't reacted yet.

She went on to say, "Thank you."

Ok?
Thank me?
Su Xi couldn't react.Huang Xiaoman's thinking of being a top student is too jumpy.

If Qin Xing was here, he would have understood in seconds, because Huang Xiaoman bragged in front of him more than once: Did you see it?For me, Jack can refuse even Hollywood super beauties like Jessica Alba.What does this mean?Um?
Speaking of this, Huang Xiaoman would raise his chin proudly.

Apart from praising, Qin Xing didn't know what to say.

However, in the hearts of Chinese people like Qin Xing, Huang Xiaoman's appearance and figure are no worse than Hollywood beauties.

...

　How about some recommended monthly tickets, bosses?
