Guard With a Knife

Kevin Ding is undoubtedly very happy recently. Last Saturday, the sales growth of the sports special edition greatly exceeded the expectations of the editor-in-chief. A total of more than 18,000 copies were sold, and the sales volume has almost doubled, and it is still increasing middle.

An important reason for the doubling of sales is Snoopy.

In last week's back-to-back wins over Kansas State and Arizona State, the Pups were strong in both games.

This made the readers who followed him from the very beginning very gratified, and felt like "watching the little tree planted" suddenly grow into a towering giant tree.

Today, the puppy has even more fame in California than some of the hottest rookies.

Kevin Ding walked into the arena, and he told the puppy: "Snoopy, you have to thank me very much. I heard that some businesses in Los Angeles are willing to find you as their spokesperson. As long as you take two photos and stand At the door, you can get a reward of more than five thousand dollars. It's really a star-like treatment."

The little dog smiled and shook his head, and he told Kevin Ding: "Come on, Kevin. Do you know what Mr. Duan said when he called me yesterday? Some manufacturers in China have already called him, and some of them have even opened It paid 200,000 RMB for endorsement. Listen, 200,000 RMB, close to 40,000 US dollars."

Kevin Ding laughed, and joked: "However... as an NCAA player, you can only watch, you can't do any commercial promotion. Hahahaha!"

The puppy gave him a blank look: "Listen, Kevin. I'm not like you, and I'm not short of money."

"Okay, you win, damn rich boy." The critical blow of money made Kevin Ding lose the courage to continue complaining, and he changed the subject: "Today your opponent is the twin brothers from Stanford University, are you ready? ? I don't want you to be beaten back to your original shape in this game."

"I said...Kevin, are you expecting too much from me? On the three major draft platforms, these two are first-round lottery picks, and they are both over seven feet tall. You don't expect me to be like Kill them like you beat Pendergraf?" The puppy stared at Kevin Ding with wide eyes, he is a person who studies economics, he is very rational, and he respects objective facts very much.

"Why not, Snoopy! If you blow up their bros, you'll get a lot of attention! It's going to be your battle for fame, don't you want your name on the draft pick list? You Don’t you want to be a millionaire or even a multi-millionaire in no time?”

Kevin Ding tried to stimulate the fighting spirit in the puppy, and his approach was actually similar to that of Ben Howland.

"In the past few games, I found that there is a serious problem with you. You have never shown the desire to surpass your own ability in the game. You are always doing what you are supposed to do. You use your intelligence, your jumping, Boxing, your blocks, your rebounds to affect the game. You did a good job, but I think you can do better."

"Throw away your status as a rich kid, lose your deep sense of superiority, and even forget that you are a top student at Anderson College. When you step on the court, you are a player, and you should go like a hungry beast. Wrestle, bite, fight to survive. Follow Russell Westbrook, he's your role model!"

Kevin Ding's tone was very excited.

This was the first time he spoke to the puppy like this.

This seriously exceeded his duty as a reporter.

The puppy seemed a little 'frightened', and he looked at Kevin Ding in surprise.

Kevin Ding's excited emotions gradually calmed down, and he said softly: "I'm sorry, I just regard you as my friend, and I hope my friend can become better."

The puppy smiled, and he reached out and patted Kevin Ding on the shoulder: "Thank you, Kevin. Thank you for treating me as a friend, and thank you for being able to say these words to me."

At this time, the manager Peterson, who was in charge of the business promotion department, came over and told Xiaogou that the Chinese press corps had been arranged in the temporary conference room.

He hoped that the puppy would take the time to accept the interview, because next coach Ben Howland would conduct a full-court simulated confrontation drill.

The puppy said goodbye to Kevin Ding.

Kevin Ding handed the puppy a USB flash drive, and he said: "This is the game screen of my three favorite players. I have always wanted to give it to you."

The puppy took the USB drive and said thank you again.

On the way to the meeting room, the puppy kept thinking about what Kevin Ding said.

Kevin Ding is right, he has been doing things within his ability, for him, basketball is more like an interesting game.

However, games and competitions are two different things!

Walking into the meeting room, the dog immediately showed a decent smile on his face. He greeted every reporter politely, and he gave people a feeling of spring breeze.

Even if it is the first meeting, it will not make people feel cold or repulsive.

...

"He has a good tutor, profound knowledge, humorous conversation, and a smart brain that can be learned quickly." Ben Howland said to Kevin Ding on the sidelines of the game: "But he is still a child, a child favored by a superior family. Broken kid. He has always been carefree, everything is properly arranged, and he has never felt hungry. So it is difficult for him to show that aggressive aggressiveness on the court... Sigh!"

Ben Howland sighed, and Kevin Ding next to him nodded helplessly.

"You are wrong. Snoopy is not a rich kid who is content with having fun."

Westbrook's voice suddenly sounded from behind, and he walked over: "I lived with him for a year, and I know him better than all of you. His competitive spirit is no less than mine, and his courage is far better than mine. When Darren Collison made trouble in the dormitory, only he dared to stand up and fight, even though he was only 1.7 meters at the time."

"Snoopy just hasn't met the person who ignited his anger yet, wait until that moment happens. You will all see his aggressiveness. He has always been a stalker who dares to fight tanks!!"
