Chapter 211 Participating in the NBA Draft
After graduating from high school, what Neil and Lavender are worried about, and what most people worry about at the same time, is whether they can receive the email from the ideal university, which contains the priceless admission notice.

However, most high school graduates have the same idea as Neil and Lavender, that is, they believe that as long as they have worked hard and worked hard, they will definitely receive the email they want, but they just have to wait slowly.

After the graduation ceremony, the three members of Neil's family and Lavender's father and daughter gathered for a meal, and then left happily, returning to each other's life circle.

For Neil and Lavender, this vacation may be a bit of a torment, because it will take a long time to wait, and they still don’t know whether their common wish can be realized and whether they can enter a university. Money matters, and it doesn’t matter what university you want to go to, but for Neil, it’s all different. If you can’t wait for the mail from the top ten basketball schools in the country, your academic career is probably coming to an end. Lavender's final choices are all based on Neil.

This holiday, Lavender wants to see Neil, so she will go to him. Neil will occasionally visit the city, and by the way, make an appointment with Lavender, so that Neil will not wait for the mail or notification.

Time passed day by day, and more than 20 days had passed, but the mail had never been received. However, Neil firmly believed that the top ten basketball schools in the country would definitely send mail.

Therefore, Neil continued to wait patiently, and Lavender and his parents also actively comforted and encouraged him.

Five days later, the postman yelled downstairs: "Is Neil there? There is a piece of mail for you."

"Yes, may I ask, where did you send it?" Neil couldn't wait to reply, and asked again.

"It's from the Chicago Bulls."

"Really?"

"certainly……"

Neil slammed the door out in a hurry, rushed downstairs, snatched the mail from the postman, thanked him, and immediately opened it. It turned out to be an invitation letter with the following content: "Dear Neil, we welcome You are very satisfied with your performance in the high school league and the national youth basketball game. Therefore, we specially invite you to participate in this year's NBA draft. No matter what method we use, we will also use the draft pick to select you. The Chicago Bulls are looking forward to your arrival. You You don’t need to doubt your own strength, you just need to firmly believe that as long as you work hard enough and are careful enough, you will be able to survive in the highly competitive environment of the NBA.”

After Neil finished reading, he fell into a tangle, because it seemed that he could not make the decision on this matter. He had to discuss it with his parents, and he had to discuss it with Lavender.

Although this email is good news for Neil, it has always made Neil mad and tangled. This email is now his only hope. If he cannot receive the second or the first email before school starts Three letters, then this is his only hope, the only choice.

In the evening, his parents drove Sunset Red back to their small three-bedroom home of less than seventy square meters. As soon as they stepped into the door, Neil rushed to the door with this mail, handed it to his father, and then started While helping his parents pack daily necessities, he said to his father, "Dad, this is an invitation letter from the Chicago Bulls."

After hearing this, Louis and Nuana were stunned for a moment. Holding the daily necessities in their hands, they fell to the ground in excitement. They stared at their son and asked, "Son, are you trying to make your mother and me happy?"

"How come? Open it and see for yourself!"

Seeing that Neil didn't seem to be lying to his parents, the daily necessities were not packed for the time being, because it seemed that the matter in front of him was the most important thing, and the matter of daily necessities packing was not that important for the time being. Therefore, Louis hurriedly opened the mail in his hand and tried to Anna hurriedly turned her head to look. After they finished reading, with excited and joyful smiles on their faces, she bent down and gave Neil a hug and a kiss.

Neil understands something from the behavior and expression of his parents. It seems that his parents have decided in their minds, let him participate in the NBA draft, and not go to college. The ultimate goal of going to college is to play in college professional leagues They are all for playing in a professional league like the NBA. Therefore, instead of doing this, it is better to enter the highly competitive environment of the NBA early to hone.

Neil once again sorted out the daily necessities that were not sold out, and glanced at his parents again holding the invitation letter in this email like a treasure. As promised, she will go to the school that Neil goes to study in, but now if his parents strongly urge him to choose to participate in the NBA draft, what should Lavender do here?
When Neil was thinking obsessively, he was interrupted by his father's words: "Son, what do you think about this matter?"

Neil scratched his head, pondered for a while, and stared at the parents in front of him. He looked conflicted, like he had a choice phobia, but after being silent for a long time, he still wanted to listen to Lavender's opinion before making a decision. Therefore, Neil stared at his father: "Dad, I still want to wait for a while. If there is an olive branch offered to me by a top ten basketball school in the country, I will discuss it with Lavender and make a comparison before making a decision. "

"I agree with this idea, but son, I hope you remember that no matter what your final choice is, your ultimate goal and dream is to play in the NBA, and you always work hard for your dream. Finally, you can play in the college professional league, but it is completely different from what you learned in the NBA, because, no matter whether you enter from high school or through the college professional league, you have to adapt to the highly competitive environment of the NBA. It will take at least two to three years to be familiar with it. As for this, I still hope that you will step into the gate of the NBA early to hone it. Even if you don’t have the ball to play at the beginning, you can fight for opportunities by yourself, trust and possession of the ball. To win, if you enter the NBA two years earlier, it means you have a better understanding of the overall environment of the NBA, as well as players, ball distribution and tactical arrangements."

"Dad, do you mean to let me go directly to the NBA draft?"

"Dad thinks this way, and I believe your mother thinks so too. If your grandpa knows about this, he will make the same choice as us, because the opportunities that many players have dreamed of are now in front of you. The content of this email is not difficult to see. The implication of the Chicago Bulls is that as long as your name is on this year's NBA draft, you will definitely be selected. What a rare opportunity this is, and your current efforts are not just To play in the NBA one day?"

"Dad, it's not that I object to your opinions. In fact, I also want to play in the NBA now, and I also want to make money early. However, I have a promise with Lavender, and there is an agreement first. Therefore, I need to discuss it with her. Then decide the final choice and decision." Neil stared at his parents in embarrassment and said.

"Okay, your mother and I support your choice. Regardless of your final choice and decision, we are all proud of you. However, your mother and I also believe that Lavender is a sensible child, and she will fulfill your dreams." Luis patted his son on the shoulder, looked at his son, and said kindly and lovingly.

Neil nodded in relief, and smiled silly at his parents.

It never occurred to him that his parents would suggest him to participate in the NBA draft without waiting for the college admission letter.
