Chapter 618: Can’t Cry
"I've already negotiated with Mark Davis, and it's up to you to choose."
Mike was still immersed in happiness. He couldn't even believe that his dream had come true. Gao Guang was talking to him about the reality of signing a contract.
"You will definitely not be able to play this year. One is due to contract issues, and the other is your strength, so there is still nearly half a year for you to train, familiarize yourself with the team environment, and wait for next year's draft."
Mike is no longer as high-spirited as he was on the court, and he now looks a little sluggish again.
Gao Guang could only continue: "You only need to register for the draft. You are definitely qualified to participate in the draft. The question now is whether you want a first-round pick, or you can accept a late-round pick. If you don't care about the draft, If you rank well, you can get a signing fee of four million U.S. dollars."
Mike looked at Gao Guang with some confusion. Gao Guang chuckled and said: "Either you give me a name or money. If you choose to be a first-round pick, then the Raiders will give you a signing fee of two million US dollars. If you are willing to If you are selected after the third round, you will receive an additional two million signing fee. Of course, this is secret and cannot be made public.”
Mike spread his hands and said, "It doesn't matter to me, I can do it."
"I'm not saying die, but I suggest you accept a late-round pick to enter the league. The main reason is that your experience in the past two years should not be exposed. If you suddenly become a first-round pick, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble. Sensation will make you a topical figure, and if reporters are chasing you to get to the bottom of things, your identity may be in trouble. "
Mike nodded repeatedly, and continued: "So false fame is not what you should pursue now. You have to ensure that you can stand in the NFL. This has nothing to do with your strength, but to do with your experience. Frankly speaking, you must have experience that cannot be used by others." To trace, I made an agreement with Mark, saying that you would work as a staff member for the Raiders, doing odd jobs and training, until Mark found out and gave you a chance. "
Mike said in surprise: "Is that so?"
"Yes, there is only nearly half a year until next year's draft. You will train with the Raiders and sign an ordinary employee contract until you enter the draft. Then you will become an inspirational story of the prodigal son turning back, and Mark Davis , he will become a good boss with a discerning eye.”
Nodding heavily, Mike whispered: "I listen to you!"
You only know regret after you have lost it, but most people have no chance to regret it. Now Mike has another chance. As long as he is not too stupid, he should know how his opportunity came about.
It's true that he met a noble person, but there is no doubt that Mike's opportunity was fought for with his life.
Without Mike taking bullets for Gao Guang several times, Gao Guang might have died long ago. If Gao Guang died, it would be impossible to meet Fang Zhenwu. Without meeting Fang Zhenwu, it would be impossible to teach Mike to rely on him.
The important thing is that Mike didn't take the bullet for Gao Guang, so Gao Guang didn't have the chance to meet Sarah, so he couldn't become this noble person even if he wanted to.
A drink, a peck, God's will.
But opportunities only come to those who are prepared.
The most self-disciplined person in the King's defense is Mike. Even when Mike needs to earn a living by cheating, he will not choose the cheapest and most easily available junk food in the United States to feed himself.
Others drink, but Mike doesn't drink. Others enjoy the local delicacies, but Mike doesn't eat. It is in order to gain weight and increase body fat that Mike dares to eat a few more high-calorie foods. But even so, Mike still eats high-calorie foods all year round. Eat a burger as a treat.
Many people are not afraid of death but cannot exercise self-discipline.
Self-discipline is the most difficult thing, and Mike's self-discipline is maintained in complete despair. He knows that he has no hope of entering the NFL. At most, he only has a 1% or even 10,000% chance, but he is still self-disciplined. .
The highlight was someone who knew Mike well and knew what Mike had put in to get to this day.
So after having nothing to say, Gao Guang finally said: "Well, congratulations, your persistence has been rewarded."
Gao Guang reached out his hand. He wanted to shake Mike's hand formally, but Mike hugged him directly and started sobbing.
"Thank you, thank you. There were many times when I lost confidence, but you kept me going."
Gao Guang was a little confused by Mike's body odor. The most important thing was that when he thought about it, it seemed that he had never encouraged Mike to persist. Instead, he had seduced Mike many times to have drinks and dinners with them.
A little ashamed.
Mike was already crying, and he said loudly: "I'm so happy, I don't know what to say, boss, thank you, my dream has come true, I, ah..."
Mike finally burst into tears, Francisco, who was driving, was also in tears, but Riccardo looked calm and turned his head to the side to look out the window.
After a moment, Riccardo turned around, with tears in his eyes, and said to Mike in a deep voice: "Everyone with dreams is worthy of respect. I know how you feel, and I also envy your joy at this moment, Mike. ,Congratulations!"
Riccardo stretched out his hand back, and Mike held Riccardo's hand and sobbed: "Thank you, thank you, thank you for helping me..."
Riccardo really did a lot, and Mike should thank him.
Gao Guang could only say awkwardly: "This is a happy thing, why are you crying?"
At this time, Gao Guang's phone rang. Gao Guang took out his mobile phone and found that the call was from a landline number. He answered the call, but heard Lei whispering on the phone: "Hi, Mad Dog, I'm fine. Uh, how is your matter going? When can you come to the base?"
"It's almost done, it's almost done. I have something to deal with here. I'll talk to you later."
Lei didn't hang up the phone. He just asked in confusion: "Is anyone crying around you?"
"No, I'll contact you later."
Gao Guang hung up the phone and said to Mike, who was trying not to cry but sobbing: "Forget it, if you want to cry, just cry loudly. You've been holding it in for so long, it's good to vent it out."
Mike opened his mouth and said loudly: "Ah, boss, boss!"
"Can you not add boss when you cry?"
Gao Guang was about to correct Mike when his phone rang again.
The busier you are, the more chaotic it is. Gao Guang could only helplessly say: "Sorry, I'm sorry to interrupt your tears of joy again. Hold it back and cry later."
This time the call was from Otto. Gao Guang was surprised, but he still answered the phone, and then heard Otto slowly say: "Have you finished your business?'"
"Almost, what's wrong, teacher."
"Well, I want to remind you that some opportunities will be gone once they are missed. You are a rare good sniper. When do you plan to... Wait, there is a woman sobbing next to you?"
As we all know, crying is unstoppable. Now Mike is not crying, but he is indeed sobbing like a woman, and there is sound, and the sound is heard.
Gao Guang said without hesitation: "No, you heard it wrong."
"Impossible! Where are you, what are you doing?"
Gao Guang whispered: "It's a man crying."
"You...you...you...you should let women cry, not men. No matter what the reason, it is very...very...very unacceptable to let a man cry like this around you. As my student, I feel that you have brought shame upon me!"
Otto was so angry that he stuttered. Gao Guang exhaled and said: "Don't get me wrong, my brother is crying because of joy. Okay, teacher, I have to hang up the phone. I'm going to go to the training base. Well, I do have a few people who need training now."
"That's right. What could be more important than improving your own strength? There is also an excellent sniper waiting for you, Mad Dog. You should do something serious."
"Okay, teacher, I got it. Let's talk about it when I get back. I'm hanging up now."
After hanging up the phone, Gao Guang sighed helplessly, and then he said to Mike: "Okay, you can cry loudly. Come on, brother, don't be polite."
Mike blinked a few times, and then he said helplessly: "I can't cry. I'm out of emotion."
