Chapter 141 Big Ben Got His Wish
"Okay, since you're so frank, I'll go with you to meet her. To be honest, although this woman is a rich second generation, she still has a lot of vision."
Zhao Qiang was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "Have vision? What kind of vision?"
"The Lakers can see you, of course they have vision, you play so well, if you go to the Lakers, you will definitely be able to accomplish a lot!"
Tang Xiaowan almost admired Zhao Qiang.
"Don't flatter me like that. The NBA is not that simple. They are all masters." Zhao Qiang shook his head with a smile.
……
The two finally got back together and had a sweet lunch together.
The other students were sneaking eyes at the two of them, thinking that they would have a big fight and then officially announce their breakup.
Unexpectedly, the two whispered and made up again.
Of course, most students still hope that they can succeed, because both of them are the pride of Virginia Union University.
……
After eating, the two held hands for a walk around the campus, breaking the rumors that the two broke up with practical actions.
After persuading Tang Xiaowan, Zhao Qiang called Jenny again, wanting to meet her and talk about the draft.
Jenny was overjoyed, she thought Zhao Qiang had already thought about it, so she agreed immediately.
"Zhao Qiang, I'm waiting for you at the Hilde Hotel, the room number is..."
Before she could finish speaking, Zhao Qiang interrupted her: "Miss Jenny, let's meet at the restaurant."
Jenny was taken aback, then laughed again: "You don't need to eat in the restaurant, I can ask the waiter to deliver the food to the room, you can come directly."
"No, just in the restaurant, see you at eight o'clock in the evening!"
After finishing speaking, Zhao Qiang hung up the phone.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Zhao Qiang brought Tang Xiaowan to the restaurant on the second floor of the Hilton Hotel on time.
Jenny was wearing a sexy little leather jacket and hot pants waiting for Zhao Qiang.
But when she saw Zhao Qiang and Tang Xiaowan, she was stunned.
"Let me introduce you. This is the beautiful and charming Miss Jenny, the daughter of the owner of the Lakers."
"This is my girlfriend, Donna!"
Zhao Qiang generously introduced them.
After all, Jenny is a woman who has seen the big world, she just froze for a second, and then returned to normal.
She stood up, briefly hugged Tang Xiaowan, kissed her cheeks, and exchanged a few pleasantries.
"Donna, you have great vision. Zhao Qiang is a good guy, and he plays very smartly. The scouts of our Lakers are all optimistic about him!"
Jenny changed the subject, and directly chatted about Zhao Qiang's NBA prospects, very naturally, without embarrassment at all.
Tang Xiaowan was also generous, and replied with a smile: "I very much support Zhao Qiang's basketball career, and hope he can realize his dream in the NBA. Zhao Qiang told me personally that he also likes the Lakers very much."
Seeing that Tang Xiaowan spoke elegantly and had a great temperament, Jenny admired her in her heart. Zhao Qiang also had a good eye. The two really matched well.
"That would be the best. If Zhao Qiang can join the Lakers, it must be the luck of the Lakers fans!"
After speaking, Jenny asked the waiter to bring the menu, and asked the two to order. The three chatted while eating, like old friends.
Just as the three of them were talking and laughing happily, a tabloid reporter had already filmed the scene of them eating.
……
The next day, some media broke out that Zhao Qiang and his girlfriend invited Jenny to dinner, and then the two left together.
As soon as this news came out, the scandal between Zhao Qiang and Jenny was broken.
Zhao Qiang let out a long breath, and finally solved this trouble...
……
Three months later, Big Ben officially participated in the 1995 NBA draft.
Zhao Qiang, Daheilong, Laotie, Xiaode, Brown and others, as well as Daben's family, participated in the draft together.
In the end, Big Ben was selected by the Detroit Pistons with the 18th pick in the first round.
This surprised Zhao Qiang that the Lakers didn't choose Big Ben.
However, it was only later that Zhao Qiang found out that the Lakers took the draft pick in advance and went to replace another player.
Although a little disappointed, Zhao Qiang didn't take it to heart.
After all, the Pistons are Big Ben's blessed land.
Before he crossed over, Daben became an undrafted pick, and after many years, he came to the Pistons and reached the pinnacle of his career.
Now he was selected by the Pistons in the first year, which shows that Big Ben and the Pistons are indeed destined, and his spring will come soon.
Da Ben was very excited and couldn't help but shed tears. When he heard his name, he stood up excitedly.
He didn't even hug his mother, but kept Zhao Qiang first.
"Qiangzi, thank you, I will definitely play well!" Da Ben didn't know what to say.
Zhao Qiang patted him on the back and said excitedly: "Believe in yourself, you are the best! Huo Sai team is very suitable for you, come on!"
Then Big Ben hugged his family and friends one by one, walked onto the stage, and put on the rookie hat under Stern's introduction.
The Virginia Union Cavalry hasn't had a first-round pick in years.
Therefore, Daben's fame has greatly helped the Cavalry's basketball students.
At the beginning of the next semester, several good seedlings came to the basketball team to report.
Due to the departure of Big Ben, the Cavalry urgently needs a big center with both offense and defense.
Among the several players reported, Coach An Zuo found that there are two players with good talent.
One is a white student named Kenyon Maggette. He is 2 meters tall, with a thin body and average bounce, but his shooting touch is very soft.
The other was a black player named Derek Richardson.
He is 2 meters tall, has a strong body, has amazing jumps, and has great strength, but his shooting is average.
Coach An Zuo thinks that both of them can give it a try and see how fast they evolve.
As a very successful coach, Coach Anzuo attaches great importance to players' learning ability, as well as software talents such as golf quotient.
Last year's cavalry team had mediocre talents. The reason why they have improved so much is that Coach Anzuo taught them in accordance with their aptitude.
In addition, coach An Zuo also recruited two strikers, both of whom are around 2 meters tall.
One of the strikers, named Dooling, was very famous in high school and was known as the number one high school student in Virginia.
His speed is very fast, his breakthrough ability is first-class, and what is rare is that his three-pointers are very good.
Originally, this was a good seed, and coach An Zuo also wanted to train him well, hoping that he could become the fresh blood of the cavalry team.
But on the first day this guy came here, he challenged Zhao Qiang.
"My name is Dolby. To be honest, there are several colleges vying for me, but I chose the Cavalry. Now I regret it a bit."
"I just have one condition, if your captain can beat me in a one-on-one American heads-up, I can join you, otherwise I will go to another school!"
