Chapter 212 North Carolina Admission Letter

Although his parents agree no matter what decision Neal makes, they still hope that Neal will go directly to the NBA draft, which will be more conducive to his future career development.

But based on Neil and Lavender's commitment and prior agreement, parents can only support their son's decision instead of blindly opposing it.

Neal also didn't want to go to Lavender immediately and tell her about the Chicago Bulls' invitation to the NBA draft.

Because Neil had another idea in his heart, he decided to wait a little longer, and if he could receive an email from the top ten basketball schools in the country, then he would go to Lavender to express his inner thoughts.

The parents heard from their son that he was going to explain the situation to Lavender, but after a few days, Neil was still indifferent, so they could only ask Neil, "Son, did you go to Lavender to explain the situation?"

"Dad, Mom hasn't gone yet, I still want to wait, because I think if there is an email from a top ten basketball school in the country, I can analyze the two situations with Lavender, and then, it will be convenient for the two of them to make the best decision." Choose." Neil told his parents what he really thought in his heart these days.

"So you mean you won't be participating in the NVS draft this year?"

"Father, Mom, the registration period for this year has passed. If I can't register, I won't be able to participate!"

"That's right, it's already the beginning of June, and the draft will be held in about 20 days. The general registration time for local players in the NBA is April, and there are also age restrictions. You must be at least 19 years old. Now you only have 18 years old." After listening to his son's tangled words, Louis suddenly realized, lightly beat his short-circuited brain with his hand, carefully recalled the NBA drafts of previous years, and looked directly at his son.

"So, the Chicago Bulls sent this email, this invitation letter, I don't know what it means."

"It's okay, why don't I call them directly and ask what's going on. Their email didn't follow the rules." Louis comforted his son, patted his shoulder and said.

"Okay, Dad, you can call them and ask them. If I haven't received the notification letter from the university at the beginning of the semester, then this is the only choice."

After Neil made his statement, Louis packed up his daily necessities and immediately called the Chicago Bulls. The first call got through, but no one answered. After about 10 minutes, he returned a message: "Hello, sir, I'm sorry, We are off work right now, and it is not convenient to answer the phone for the time being, but we have registered your phone number for you, and our relevant person in charge will call you after work tomorrow, I hope you understand."

Louis was not on the replay, and thought of calling them the next day, but who knows, just as Louis put down the phone and turned to leave, the phone beeped again. It was an unfamiliar number from Chicago, not just now. That number, Louis grabbed the phone and said, "Hello!"

"Hi, may I ask that you are Neil's father?"

"I am, may I ask you?"

"I'm the general manager of the Chicago Bulls --- Jerry Krause. I just heard from the staff and told me that I don't know who is calling from Alexandria. I immediately thought it should be you, so I opened the phone. I called you, because we sent an email to you in Alexandria, which is your son——Neil, by the way, you must have something urgent when you call so late, do you want to consult?" Jerry Klaus had a patient and friendly tone from the phone, and he could vaguely hear him speaking with a faint smile.

"Yes, Mr. Jerry Cross!"

"What do you say!"

"Sir, I just want to ask, the invitation letter you sent to my son, our family can't understand it, because the registration period for this year's NBA draft has passed, and the age requirement for players in the NBA draft is 19 years old , and only me." Louis explained the reason with a nervous and excited tone.

"You don't have to worry about this. As long as your son wants to participate in the draft, he can sign up before the start of the draft. As for the age, since your son is Michael Jordan's favorite, as long as we select him, we can let him follow him. The coaches and players have studied for a year, but he is not listed as a player for the time being, will he not be able to have normal playing time in these two days next year?"

"Sir, what if he can't register?" Louis asked an extra question in order to prevent unexpected events.

"If your son doesn't sign up, and we don't see him in the draft, then we're going to send out invitations to you again, let him come to tryouts, play in our summer league, if he's really as good as the high school league and the national junior league. If he's as good as he is in basketball, then we wouldn't hesitate to sign him."

"Thank you so much, Mr. Jerry Claus!"

"No, do you have any questions?"

"that's all, thanks!"

"Okay, if you still have anything unclear after that, you can call me directly."

"Ok!"

"Goodbye, good luck to your family!"

"Goodbye and good luck!"

As soon as Louis finished speaking, Jerry Krause hung up the phone. Louis told his wife and son what Jerry Krause said on the phone. After listening to the son, the confusion on his face became much less.

It's just that Louis was afraid that the time would run out, so he urged Neil: "Boy, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You must take advantage of it. No matter whether the registration time has passed or not, you should try it. Therefore, we should follow the NBA draft The process has reported the name."

"Okay, Dad! Then I'll go see Lavender tomorrow."

"But you haven't received the admission letter from the university yet. How can you explain to Lavender when you go to see Lavender?" Louis looked at his wife and tried to test Neil with words, the purpose of which was to hear how Neil would deal with him and Lavender. between clothes.

"Father, I'm worried that time is running out, so in case I don't receive the university admission letter before the start of school, I don't have to worry about it now." Neil said rationally.

The parents were very relieved after hearing this. They never thought that their son could be so rational and not act rashly in front of important choices at critical moments.

Early the next morning, Neil went out with his parents. When he opened the door, he found a mail with Neal's name written on it. Louis bent down, picked up the letter and opened it. It turned out to be from North Carolina State University. admission letter.

"North Carolina State University, isn't it the same university that Michael Jordan attended?" Louis whispered to himself.

Then he turned his head to his wife, then to his son, and handed the email to Neil, who jumped up with joy after seeing it.

Seeing that he was so happy, his parents didn't say much. They just patted him on the shoulder, hugged him, and kissed him on the cheek. They believed that he would solve the problem, so they pushed the daily necessities cart and went out.

Neil tightly clutched the email in his hand, the admission letter, and was so excited by God. He never expected that at the most critical moment, when he didn’t know how to explain to Lavender, he would actually receive the admission letter from North Carolina State University Book.

It’s just that Neil at this time is both happy and tangled. God still allows him to choose directly from participating in the NBA draft or studying at North Carolina State University. Neil doesn’t know what to do. Will he let him be drafted in the NBA like his parents did? However, sooner or later, a decision must be made, and it should be faced calmly. Difficult choices and decisions must be faced and overcome by everyone.
