From the post-match interview, Zhang Hao realized that mainstream dia wasn’t interested in him. Those reporters were obviously invited by McDonald’s, claiming to report news but actually more like promoting McDonald’s. He had thanked McDonald’s for providing this platform countless tis.
The final special interview by Xinhuanet was also just for publicity by McDonald’s.
However, after tonight’s dunk contest, Zhang Hao could live for another 30 days. He was very pleased and also received a dal!
He didn’t have ti to look before; back at the hotel, his mind was chaotic, affected by a blend of excitent and calmness. Now that he’s cald down, Zhang Hao imdiately wanted to know the function of this dal.
With a thought, subtitles appeared, and this ti, he entered an interface of the "dal Pavilion."
Silver dal, Golden dal, both marked "0," Bronze dal marked "1."
Opening the Bronze dal page, Zhang Hao saw the "Dunk Master" dal he obtained tonight.
"Dunk Master (Bronze) (Not Worn): When signed players wear it, every ti they complete a dunk in a ga, the team’s enthusiasm will be greatly enhanced for the next three rounds."
This dal is quite useful! Zhang Hao thought for a mont; if this dal is placed with the team’s best dunker, it can significantly boost the players’ enthusiasm on both offense and defense for the following sequences after a dunk is completed! For future inside gas, it would definitely be very effective.
"Wait, am I not an excellent dunker myself?"
With a thought, the "Not Worn" text behind the "Dunk Master" dal imdiately beca "Worn Player: Zhang Hao."
Done!
He could still live for 422 days. It’s not a long ti, but there’s a chance to extend his life. Perhaps this dunk contest could attract so universities to show interest in him. While such a competition may seem just entertaining to the public, it should have a certain influence on the student community and schools.
Back then, he was noticed and invited to the United States for high school because of his top athletic ability. Now, he has shown this talent to those universities, as for the outco... leave it to fate!
Actually, what he desires most now is no longer a scholarship, though it’s important. He wants attention from the university’s school team, so he can have playing opportunities, performance chances, and most directly, be awarded a full basketball scholarship.
With a thought, the subtitles closed. Zhang Hao really didn’t want to see the harsh fact that he only had 422 days left to live.
Even the idea of "living another year would be great" from future mories is gradually fading away. Though intelligence phones weren’t invented yet, technology wasn’t advanced; there was no beauty filter for girls! It’s tough to be in the United States, but there’s a chance for him to blend in well and to beco a professional athlete!
Zhang Hao’s goal of "live till old age" becos increasingly determined.
He opened the envelope with the dunk contest rewards; there was a small stack of US dollars and four pieces of paper. Zhang Hao counted—1,995 US dollars, it’s a fortune! No need to ask money from his family for the next two months.
The saying goes, "literary talents are poor, while martial talents are rich." Unlike those Arican citizen black folks living in slums who have governntal food supplies, he consus a significant amount. anwhile, at Pierce’s side, his life is nice thanks to having a professional athlete brother, a brother working as an assistant coach, and a mother managing an apartnt.
Zhang Hao spends frugally, pinching pennies, and spends seven to eight hundred US dollars a month.
His family can afford this aspect, but Zhang Hao still feels reducing his family’s burden as much as possible is a good thing.
However, these 1,995 US dollars are secondary; the true reward is those four pieces of paper!
Two tickets for tomorrow night’s Lakers’ ho ga, 3rd-row seats! And two tickets for the Lakers’ first-round Ga 4 or second-round Ga 2, likewise 3rd-row seats!
If the Lakers seize ho advantage in the first-round Ga 1, they can sell Ga 4 tickets, or if they achieve an upset advance directly, they would switch to the second-round’s first ho ga, which is the second-round Ga 2 ticket.
Seeing these tickets, Zhang Hao’s first thought was whom to invite to watch the ga, but in the next room, there’s a chattering fat guy...
...
...
The next morning, Zhang Hao returned the room card to the hotel at the front desk; McDonald’s paid the room charge only up to last night. It’s still very early, just after 7 in the morning. Since Pierce received the promise of a full basketball scholarship from the University of Kansas, he has been sleeping late every day. Zhang Hao first brought his belongings back to the apartnt, washed the clothes he changed during the past few days, dried them, and then once again headed to the Great Western Forum.
Since Zhang Hao had just won the dunk contest championship hosted at this arena last night, the staff recognized him. After hearing his purpose, they made an internal call inquiry and escorted Zhang Hao to a president’s office.
The staff knocked on the door; a voice responded inside; the staff hadn’t opened the door yet, but the person inside had already opened it.
What t Zhang Hao’s eyes was a rather boldly dressed woman who looked around 30... just a mature woman; Zhang Hao felt she couldn’t be more developed.
And she looked sowhat familiar...
"Isn’t this the future big boss of the Lakers, Jeanie Buss? So bold in her younger years?"
