The King of the NBA

China.

I don't know where the news came from. The news that the Basketball Association sent people to contact Ning Yi flowed out on various forums, which aroused heated discussions among fans.

"This is a good thing. If Ning Yi can enter the national team, then next year's Spanish Basketball World Cup will be worth seeing."

"Ning Yi's strength is not a problem. If he joins the national team, it will definitely help our national team. But I'm afraid it won't be that easy. He doesn't seem to be registered with the Basketball Association."

"I've also heard about this. It seems that some time ago, there was a rumor that Ning Yi was going to enter the national team, but it didn't matter afterwards. It is said that it is because of this."

"Bullshit, do you have to register with the Basketball Association? If you don't register, you can't join the national team? Ning Yi is not a player trained by the Basketball Association. He has never been in a local youth team or a national youth team. He is self-taught, and The Basketball Association has nothing to do with it, so why do you have to register with the Basketball Association and leave it to them?"

"I don't want to say whether it belongs to them or not. The question is whether they can do something serious? Since 2008, our performance in international competitions has been worse than the previous year, so they have no responsibility?"

"Well, in the final analysis, it is still a system problem, and the system should have been changed long ago."

"Who said it wasn't?"

"I said you guys are far away. This is about Ning Yi. Anyway, it is a good sign that the Basketball Association sent people to contact Ning Yi. Maybe Ning Yi will be able to enter the national team soon."

"hope so"

Regarding this news, some people are worried, and some people are looking forward to it. At least the Basketball Association is already taking action. Is this better than shelving it all the time?

United States, Minneapolis.

After Zhang Hu and Song Liancheng arrived in Minneapolis, they did not immediately go to find Ning Yi, but found a hotel where they had a comfortable rest for a day, and then they did not contact Ning Yi directly, but contacted Ning Yi's manager Tang Ni. They told Downey that they were from the Basketball Association and wanted to talk to Ning Yi, and told Downey the address of the hotel they were staying at.

That's it.

Donnie didn't say much, but after hanging up the phone, his face became gloomy. What kind of attitude is this? I want to talk to Ning Yi. If I don't want to talk about anything, I explain a hotel address. This is to let Ning Yi take the initiative to find are they?

"It's too arrogant." Downey snorted, but he didn't delay. After all, this is the China Basketball Association. He didn't know what attitude Ning Yi had, so he set off immediately.

Half an hour later, Downey arrived at Ning Yi's apartment.

The two sat on the sofa, Downey explained the matter, and then said: "Ning, I don't know what their purpose is, but this attitude makes me very uncomfortable. How can you say that you are the only NBA player in China, The limelight is in full swing, and even the executives of companies like Coca-Cola and Pepsi have to be polite, so why should they?"

"Why, just rely on his identity." Ning Yi shook his head and laughed. Fortunately, he is a soul traveler, not a stunned young man, otherwise he might really be bluffed by the other party's background.

After thinking for a while, Ning Yi said: "Well, you call them back and say that I am very busy these two days and I don't have time to find them. Let them play in Minneapolis for a few more days, and wait until I have Just go and find them."

"Then they're going to ask when you're free?" Downey asked.

Ning Yi rolled his eyes: "You are my manager, of course this is for you to deal with, why don't you ask me?"

Downey smiled bitterly: "Alright then."

But to be honest, Downey is happy in his heart. He didn't know Ning Yi's attitude before, but now that he knows it, he has a bottom line in his heart. Although Ning Yi didn't say it clearly, he already knows that he doesn't need to give those two guys too much face.

Afterwards, Downey discussed with Ning Yi about signing Pepsi. The contract was ready. Pepsi also arranged a press conference. After everything was ready, it was just waiting for Ning Yi.

"Okay, just follow the agreement, sign the contract tomorrow morning, and I will have a game in the evening." Ning Yi said.

"Well, I also know that you have a competition. The time is relatively tight. Originally, a dinner party was arranged. If you are not free, I will do it for you." Downey laughed.

Ning Yi curled his lips, this guy is still a dick in his bones, just attending this point, it's just a dinner party.

Sending Downey away, Ning Yi began to think, this time most of the people from the basketball association were related to his entry into the national team, but judging from the situation, he did not intend to invite him, and the attitude of the other party can explain it.

"I haven't registered with the Basketball Association. This is the biggest problem. Judging from the current situation, the other party doesn't seem to give in. So this time, sending someone here should be just to test my words." Ning Yi knew it well and made a decision , "I am a Chinese. It is my responsibility to fight for the country and win glory for the country. But I will not join the Basketball Association. Too many people have chosen to give in. Someone has to stand up and resist. I will Be the first one."

It can be expected that this will not be easy and will lead to a series of troubles. Some people will make use of the problem to set up obstacles for Ning Yi to join the national team, and some people will turn right and wrong and jump out to denounce him.

But since it has been decided, Ning Yi will not change.

Hyatt Place Minneapolis.

With a "snap", Zhang Hu put down the phone with an ugly expression on his face.

"What's going on?" Song Liancheng asked with a frown.

"Humph." Zhang Hu snorted, and said angrily, "What else could it be? It's that Ning Yi. Knowing that we're here, he didn't even show his face, and didn't even make a phone call, so let him What kind of attitude is your agent dealing with us?"

Song Liancheng also frowned, and asked, "What did his manager say?"

Speaking of this, Zhang Hu was even more upset: "His agent said that Ning Yi is not free these two days, let us wait for two days, and contact us as soon as he is free. What do you call this, this is a basketball association What attitude should an athlete have?"

"Cough." Song Liancheng coughed dryly, "Well, Lao Zhang, Ning Yi is not yet an athlete of our basketball association, and he hasn't registered with the basketball association yet."

"That can't be such an attitude." Zhang Hu roared, he had never met such a player.

Song Liancheng thought about it, discussed it with Zhang Hu, and finally said that he decided to report to his superiors, and finally gave them instructions to go to Ning Yi's house to find Ning Yi.

Song Liancheng suggested to go immediately, but Zhang Hu was upset, and finally the two decided to go tomorrow.

The next day, Zhang Hu and Song Liancheng came to Ning Yi's house to look for Ning Yi, but they were shut down because Ning Yi was not at home at all, which made them depressed for a while.

At this time, Ning Yi was in the conference room of the Hilton Hotel. Today he officially signed a contract with PepsiCo. The contract is one year and the total amount is 4 million US dollars.

When Ning Yi signs his name on the contract, he will officially become one of the spokespersons of Pepsi. As for the subsequent commercial shooting, commercial activities, etc., Pepsi will negotiate with Downey, so Ning Yi doesn't have to worry about it.
