Chapter 169
The coach of Yizhou basketball team is called Li Xiangqian, a very ordinary name and ordinary appearance, but this does not affect his ability. He is a very famous basketball player and coach in China. He has led the Yizhou basketball team to achieve remarkable results in national competitions many times. He has been the coach of Yizhou basketball team for more than four years. Zhou Fanghao, one of the most popular basketball stars in the country, was discovered and trained by him.
It was completely unexpected that Li Xiangqian noticed Jing Ling.
Some time ago, he was sitting next to the team as usual, watching the basketball players communicate with each other, when two girls sat next to him, both of whom were girlfriends of the basketball team members. Li Xiangqian had seen these two little girls several times before, but he didn't take them seriously. But after sitting for a while, he found that the two girls who came to watch their boyfriend's training were not staring at the training ground like before, but gathered together to watch TV.
But even so, Li Xiangqian was not curious enough to pay special attention to what the little girls were looking at. Just by hearing them lower their voices and occasionally unable to control themselves, shouting words like "Oh, so handsome", "I'm suffocating", "How can Jingbao be so handsome", I knew they were definitely chasing stars. Later, when he stood up and passed by, Li Xiangqian glanced at it inadvertently. The ten-inch tablet had high-definition picture quality. At such a close distance, he could see the video clearly. It happened to be the last scene. The tall and straight young man jumped up and dunked the basketball into the basket. The audience in the video was boiling with excitement in an instant, and the enthusiasm could be felt through the screen.
Basketball runs through almost Li Xiangqian's entire life. Coupled with several years of coaching career, many details that ordinary people tend to overlook are not a problem for him. Although I was not there in person, by comparing the people and scenery in the video, I can roughly judge that the person who dunked the ball is around 1.85 meters tall, with an error of no more than one centimeter. This height is very good among ordinary people, but it is nothing in the basketball industry. The average height of international basketball giants is even 1.99 meters, which is very close to two meters. But the person who dunked the ball was not very old, definitely not more than 20 years old. For boys, there is still room for them to grow taller.
But the most important point is the jumping ability demonstrated by this person, which is also what Li Xiangqian cares about most. Zhou Fanghao, whom he had discovered and trained before, was nicknamed Spring Legs. His jumping ability alone was top-notch in the country. But now seeing this person in the video, Li Xiangqian has a hunch that this person's jumping ability is probably even stronger than Zhou Fanghao!
This guy is born to play basketball!
Li Xiangqian was immediately attracted and walked over to ask the two girls about the source of the video.
In the eyes of the girls, Li Xiangqian was a serious person. When they asked about the source, they answered honestly, "It's a video of the recent Yijiao University campus basketball game entering the School of Computer Science qualifying game."
In other words, the guy who dunked in the video is a student of Yitong University. This surprised Li Xiangqian a little, as he had originally thought that the other party would be a student with special talents in sports. However, he was soon relieved. If he really practiced sports, such a good talent would have been discovered long ago, and there would be no chance for him to get the chance.
Afterwards, Li Xiangqian went to the official website of Yijiao University, downloaded the complete video and watched it. The more he watched, the more surprised he was, and he wanted to sign him to the basketball team immediately. However, after seeing Jing Ling's appearance, he was puzzled for a moment. He always felt that he looked a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him. When their generation was born, the Internet was not yet popular in China. In addition, as they were professional basketball players, they spent most of their time on the training ground and had limited access to computers. They were not like the younger generation who had developed the habit of searching the Internet when they didn’t understand something.
He contacted Yijiao University directly, asking for Jing Ling's contact information, but to his surprise, the school didn't have it either.
"This is basic information. How could your school not have it?!" Li Xiangqian didn't believe it.
The person on the other end of the phone explained to him, "Coach Li, we definitely have the contact information of ordinary students, but Jing Ling, whom you asked about, is an exception. We only have his agent's work number. Do you want it?"
When Li Xiangqian heard about the agent, he immediately became nervous. "He actually has an agent. Has he signed with a basketball team? Which team?"
"Jing Ling didn't sign with a basketball team, but with a film and television company, the well-known Hongguang Film and Television in the industry."
Li Xiangqian said angrily, "With such a great talent, why is he filming a movie instead of playing basketball?"
School: “…”
Later, Li Xiangqian checked on the Internet himself and found out Jing Ling's specific information. He immediately felt that his idea would fail. Although celebrities in the sports industry can also make money from endorsements these days, it is still different from the entertainment industry. Moreover, Jing Ling has a face that is born for this job, and he is not a newcomer to the industry. He has been smooth sailing since his debut, and the works he participated in have received high praise, and he has also won awards. No matter how you look at it, it's impossible for me to give up such good conditions and play basketball with him.
But there is a saying that goes, people should still have dreams, what if they come true?
So when he learned that Jing Ling would participate in the finals of the Yilan Jiaotong University campus basketball game, Li Xiangqian started thinking about how to poach him. However, on the day of the game, seeing so many people at the scene and those fanatical fans screaming and shouting, Li Xiangqian, who had already lost hope, felt even more disappointed.
At the end of the competition, he approached Jing Ling and invited him simply because he thought he was already here and wouldn't lose anything by asking. After he said this, a young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses next to him looked at him with a very unfriendly look.
"Excuse me, who are you?" Li Xiangqian asked.
"I'm Jing Ling's agent." The other party had no expression.
Li Xiangqian was quite embarrassed. He was snatching food from someone else's bowl in front of him. No wonder the other person looked at him unfriendly.
Although Jing Ling did not immediately reject the olive branch he extended, Li Xiangqian knew that it was because of the presence of the media and the young man was trying to save face for him. His idea was completely hopeless.
well.
The time when the game ended was only around three in the afternoon, but after accepting interviews from the media, signing autographs for fans, etc., when Jing Ling and Chen Ze returned to their rented apartment, it was almost six in the afternoon.
After entering the door, Shen Ze dragged his heavy steps to the sofa, fell on it, lay on his back, and let out a long sigh, "I'm so tired!"
Compared to him, Jing Ling was in much better condition. After playing a basketball game and spending so much time on it, he still looked refreshed. He walked behind, closed the door, and walked to the water dispenser in the corner of the living room, poured a glass of water and handed it to Shen Ze.
"Thanks for your hard work!"
"I feel like sooner or later I'll be tricked to death by you." Shen Ze spoke weakly.
Jing Ling glanced at him, "Why do you think so? Haven't you always hoped that I could become a superstar? What's the point of being a film, television, or music star? Look at me. If I want to, I can also develop in other circles, and the development of the sports circle is also very good now. Just think about it, if I advance from the state basketball team to the national team, and finally participate in the Five Continents Games and win a world championship..."
He was interrupted by Shen Ze before he finished his story, his voice was so angry and hysterical, "Jing Ling, you little bastard, I'm telling you, you'd better give up the idea of developing in the sports circle. If you dare to play for real, do you believe that I will hang myself at your door?!"
Unfortunately, the artist he managed was a black-hearted person with no conscience. Hearing this, he replied, "Where are you going to hang yourself? Hometown? But I don't go back now, and that place is remote. If you really hang yourself there, who knows how long it will take for someone to find you. But apart from my hometown, I don't have my own house. I either rent an apartment like this one or stay in a hotel. Putting aside the question of whether you can hang yourself successfully, even if you do, I can just move to another place, and it won't have much of an impact..."
Chen Ze was so angry that he was like a pufferfish. "Please go away, thank you!"
Jing Ling had had enough fun and began to comfort her again, "Okay, think about something happy, such as the follow-up of today's incident. Think about the popularity of the topic. I took the time to look through today's news. There is nothing serious. If nothing unexpected happens, it will definitely be on the headlines. It doesn't cost a penny to be popular, and it's still relatively positive news. Think about this, will you feel less depressed?"
What is the most important thing to most celebrities in the entertainment industry? Exposure, of course! There is a saying in the circle that black and red are also red, so there are all kinds of examples of using divorce and cheating to hype up things and attract attention. In the era of universal entertainment, well-known figures from other circles will also do live broadcasts and appear on variety shows like celebrities in the entertainment industry. However, Jing Ling is the first one to cross over from the entertainment industry to other circles, especially a highly professional circle like basketball, so you can imagine how much he will be talked about.
Chen Ze was also very clear about this, but after listening to Jing Ling's words, he did not feel comforted. Instead, his desire to stab this little bastard to death became even stronger.
"You actually know that I'm upset, why are you deliberately making me angry?!"
"I'm just stating the facts."
"Go away!"
Nothing major happened throughout the day, and what Jing Ling and Chen Ze had predicted became a reality. The news that Jing Ling received an olive branch from the Yizhou basketball team quickly occupied the headlines of major entertainment portals, and even the sports section had related reports. Marketing accounts on Weibo took advantage of the popularity and forwarded comments one after another. By around 8 o'clock in the evening, the hot search had already climbed to the second place.
As for why he was not first, it was because someone had already paid for the first place, and that place was Jing Ling's "old rival" Yu Leyang.
After spending money to buy the trending search, not long after, he suddenly saw the news about the thorn in his side suddenly jumped up like a rocket. Yu Leyang's first thought was that Jing Ling had also bought it. But when he clicked on it, he knew it was true and he had climbed up by his own ability. Yu Leyang suddenly became furious and smashed the phone in his hand. The phone flew out and hit the wall. The sound of the screen breaking could be vaguely heard.
What’s even more infuriating is yet to come. Not long after that, his agent called him and said that the No. 1 trending search he bought was about to expire and asked him if he wanted to continue.
