Chapter 557: Don't Be Impulsive
It is hard to say how many times Mike saved Gao Guang, and it cannot be counted, because he blocked several bullets for Gao Guang.
From a normal perspective, Gao Guang owed Mike several life-saving graces, and from the perspective of the relationship between the boss and the younger brother, then Mike could not be considered to have saved Gao Guang's life, because he earned this money and did this job.
But no matter from which perspective, Mike's performance fully proved that he was indeed useful to Gao Guang, and extremely important.
If he was an extreme egoist, Gao Guang would find a way to tie Mike to his side for life, until Mike died for blocking the bullet for him.
If he was a more sophisticated egoist, Gao Guang would find some excuses to tie Mike to his side, but the result would still be the same, Mike would only be a younger brother who blocked bullets for him until his death.
But Gao Guang is not an egoist, he has a typical Chinese way of thinking, that is, he pays attention to balance, likes the doctrine of the mean, and has a habit in his bones that may be only Chinese people have.
In fact, Gao Guang likes the idiom that "one man's success brings prosperity to all his family". He can't be as great as "when poor, he can take care of himself, and when rich, he can help the world", but he can definitely help his brothers.
The golden age of athletes is only a few years, and if an athlete wants to be a professional, let alone whether he can become a star, even if he just wants to be a professional player at the bottom, it is very difficult, and once he misses the age, there is really no chance.
Mike is undoubtedly talented. He has both physical and technical talents, and he is not a wild way. He has been exposed to formal training since he was a child, and he is also a serious star player.
So there is no need to ask Mike's dream. He just wants to be a big star and play professional football.
Personality defects, or mental illness, ruined Mike and made him far away from his dream, but who made him so lucky that he happened to meet Gao Guang.
And Gao Guang is really so capable that he made a name for himself in just one or two years, which can change Mike's fate in turn.
Gao Guang has always been lucky, and Mike can be regarded as a child of destiny, because 99% of athletes have no chance to turn back and get back on track after making mistakes, but Mike has another chance.
Of course, Mike should also thank his own persistence.
At least Gao Guang has never seen anyone as self-disciplined as Mike. Except for the need to gain weight and relax his diet, Mike dare not even eat a hamburger the rest of the time.
So if Gao Guang still has a conscience, he must help Mike realize his dream.
Send Mike to the NFL, and the rest is Mike's own business. Whether he can be a water dispenser manager, or become a main running back, or finally become a big star, it depends on Mike's own ability.
But how to achieve it, this still needs time to study, but Gao Guang only thinks that it may be more troublesome, but there is absolutely no reason why it cannot be done.
Why?
The answer is too simple.
First of all, Mike is talented and has a solid foundation, which solves at least 80% of the problem. If he is really a loser, then even if Gao Guang has great ability, he can't send Mike to be a professional player.
Secondly, the NFL has 32 teams, which means there are 32 owners. It only takes one of these 32 owners to be dealt with, and Gao Guang has to deal with one of these 32 owners.
Gao Guang doesn't believe that all these 32 owners have clean assets.
Mike's heart, which was almost dead, was just slightly provoked by Gao Guang, and immediately ignited the blazing fire of dreams.
"Boss, are you serious?"
"Do I look like I'm kidding?"
Mike swallowed and said, "But I was expelled. I can't be accepted by any university. Also, I can't go back to USC, let alone play for the Trojans. Even if I get in, I can't get a starting position. No, I don't even have a chance to play."
Gao Guang said disapprovingly, "Then what?"
"I don't have a chance to participate in the draft."
"What are the rules of the draft?"
"Well, it's complicated, but I can tell you a set of data and you'll know the difficulty."
"Go ahead, let me refer to it."
"To participate in the draft, you must enter the NCAA. Seven percent of players who start playing in high school can enter the NCAA, less than three percent can enter the NCAA Division I team, and then you can enter from the NCAA. Only 1.6% of people are in the NFL. "
These data are really scary. After Mike finished speaking, he said expectantly and nervously: "I was a star player in high school, so I entered USC and got a scholarship, but you know, I was expelled and was banned for life by the NCAA..."
Gao Guang immediately said: "The lifetime ban is what I am concerned about. The problem is that you have been banned by the NCAA, but can the NFL let you play in the game?"
"Well, yes, it's not the same event, and the NCAA can't control the NFL, but I can't play in the NCAA, so I can't participate in the draft."
Gao Guang was helpless. He turned his head and looked at Mike and said: "Can't you think about a path other than the draft? Please, I saw that undrafted players can still participate in the team training camp to show themselves, which means that they can enter the NFL without participating in the draft. "
Mike scratched his black face and said with a troubled expression: "The probability of entering the NFL if you don't participate in the draft is even lower. It's so low that it can be ignored."
"Are you stupid? Others can't get in. Are you the same as others?"
Mike continued with a tangled look on his face: "But if I don't pass the draft, I always feel like I'm missing something. It's like a wedding without a bride. It's like... uh... boss, I want to participate in the draft!"
"roll!"
Gao Guang cursed angrily, then he took out his cell phone, glared at Mike hatefully, then held the steering wheel with one hand and began to look through the phone book with the other.
"careful!"
Gao Guang quickly looked up, and then he quickly turned the steering wheel. The car had crossed the double yellow line and almost swerved with a car in the opposite lane, but luckily, Gao Guang pulled the car back in time.
Mike put his head in his hands and said dumbfounded: "Can't you keep in the lane after you lose your sight? Your skills are simply better than mine..."
"Shut up!"
With great hatred in his heart, Gao Guang said sternly: "If it weren't for your trouble, would I be distracted? Would this happen if I wasn't distracted? What are you yelling about... Hello, Miss Sara, hello."
When the call was connected, Gao Guang quickly changed his tone, and then he said very politely: "I want to ask you a question. A friend of mine is Mike. You know him, the big black guy."
"I know, what's wrong with your bodyguard?"
"Well, he wants to play ball, and I wanted to ask you if you knew how to get him into the NFL."
Listening to Gao Guang's conversation, Mike's breathing immediately became rapid. He didn't dare to make a sound. He just stared at Gao Guang closely, then looked forward to make sure there were no cars in front of him, then saw Gao Guang again, and then looked at Gao Guang again. Look ahead, then look at the highlights.
Mike is much more tired now than driving by himself.
Sarah said on the phone: "What are you thinking! The NFL is not a team in your community. Do you think this is a place to fulfill your dreams?"
Gao Guang hurriedly said: "Mike is capable..."
"Every fan thinks they have the ability to play professionally, but that's just an illusion."
Gao Guang immediately said: "Mike is a high school all-star player and the best running back. He just couldn't control his emotions and attacked the coach and was fired. He is not a fan. He has been practicing since he was a child. He only missed two years." Year."
Sara was silent for a moment, and then she said slightly impatiently: "This kind of thing..."
Sarah doesn't seem to be in love with Wujiwu, no, she is in love with Wujiwu, but she loves Otto and Gao Guang, but she has no extra patience for Mike.
Gao Guang immediately whispered: "Please help me, I asked...I'm sorry, you are the only one who can help me."
"Who did you ask?"
"Well, I didn't ask on purpose, I just mentioned it casually, but Jane can't help me..."
Sara sighed and said: "You are really confused. How can Jane help you with this kind of thing? Who can she know? Okay, let me think about who is the owner of the NFL team."
Mike whispered: "I dream of joining the Los Angeles Rams..."
Gao Guang suddenly turned his head and glared at Mike.
Mike turned his head guiltily, and then he whispered: "The San Francisco 49ers will do, too."
With great hatred in his heart, Gao Guang lowered his voice and said angrily: "Go to hell with your dreams!"
At this time, Sara suddenly said: "I seem to have a phone number from the owner of the Philadelphia Eagles, but I don't guarantee that this will happen."
Gao Guang whispered: "Okay, okay, Mike's full name is Mike Ball, the No. 1 high school running back in the United States in 2015. They must know this if you tell me."
Mike whispered: "It's just high school. NFL bosses don't know much about it. If you change it to a scout or a manager, it's almost the same..."
Regarding dreams, Mike talked a lot more. Gao Guang couldn't help but glare at Mike again, and then he continued: "If the Philadelphia Eagles can't do it, do we have other options, or are there other ways?"
Sara hesitated for a moment, and then she said slowly: "I don't know much about rugby, but I can ask a professional to ask. Let me recommend you a person who specializes in doing this kind of weird thing." For consulting business, no matter what it is, he can at least provide a solution, of course, for a fee.”
Gao Guang immediately said: "Okay, okay."
Mike said anxiously: "I'll pay, I'll pay!"
Sarah had already hung up the phone. Gao Guang put down the phone and said angrily to Mike: "If you don't pay yourself, how can you ask me to pay you? This is your dream, not mine!"
"Look at the car, look at the car!"
Mike quickly reminded Gao Guang to slow down, and then he said to Gao Guang sincerely: "Boss, thank you, you are really a good boss."
"Shut up, you."
"Boss, let me drive."
"Don't you know I want to practice driving?"
After scolding Mike angrily, Gao Guang said angrily: "Now it seems that my wife, the master, is unlikely to be able to handle this matter. Well, you are willing to spend money, right? Otherwise, how about we find Edelweiss? Pay for information." , use the information to blackmail those bosses, if that doesn’t work, we’ll have the Shadowless One put a horse’s head on the boss’s bed.”
Mike opened his eyes wide and trembled: "No! Don't! Boss, are you crazy? Don't imitate the plot in the movie, calm down, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, boss."
