Chapter 259 Much Ado About Nothing
“It seems that you are full of confidence.”
Even though Edwards doesn't reveal it, this short sentence carries a lot of meaning, especially when placed in context.
Donald is not angry, because he knows how shocking his vision is, even beyond the times, so it requires someone with real courage, courage, and wisdom to understand it.
Donald did not retort, but stood up, shook hands with Edwards, and prepared to leave. He said calmly, "I am not alone."
Edwards subconsciously looked at Levi——
So, you two are the only ones doing this daydream?
Levi faced Edwards's gaze calmly.
Donald's voice cut in, "It's a pity. It seems that Nike's preparations are still not in place. Why don't Mr. Edwards go back and ask your company's scouting department to see what they think of the Kansas Chiefs' blockbuster selection in the draft."
Until now, the season has begun, and the discussion surrounding the Kansas Chiefs’ draft strategy is still not over——
To be precise, with Levi's performance in every game, it became more and more intense.
Donald's subtext is that maybe Nike should also study and see what Reed, who has always been conservative and steady, saw in Levi that made him make such an astonishing choice?
Edwards was slightly startled.
He admitted that he was indeed somewhat negligent in this matter. Did Andy Reid really make a mistake? Or did he see something that others didn't?
However, Donald's negotiations were over and he was not prepared to stay any longer. After a brief farewell, Donald and Levi turned around and left the hotel room.
Until they were in the elevator, the surroundings were completely quiet, and Levi never spoke. On the contrary, Donald couldn't hold back, "Aren't you going to ask?"
Levi was still immersed in the impact just now, and it was revealed at this time, "I have been keeping a poker face, God, this is much more tiring than the game."
A small joke relaxed the atmosphere, "Donald, this is your specialty. I said, I trust your judgment, everything is up to you."
Donald also made a rare joke, "Be careful, I will turn around and sell you."
Levi shrugged lightly, "Don't worry, even if I am buried in the Sahara Desert, I will crawl out and find you again."
Donald:…
"Haha." Levi burst out laughing, "It's rare, it's really rare. You should see your expression just now."
Donald shook his head slightly with helplessness on his face.
Levi, "So, what should we do next?"
Donald also regained his normalcy, "Meeting with representatives from Under Armor and Adidas, today is to send out signals and news, touch their bottom line, and make them aware of our positioning. Next, they will definitely inquire about each other's information; then, we Dinner with LeBron James tonight to promote you.”
Levi shrugged lightly, "Anyway, today I am just a Barbie doll, at my mercy; then, tomorrow I will return to the training ground."
Donald nodded in agreement, "One day is enough. Your biggest task is still your performance on the field. Just concentrate on training and competition, and leave other things to me."
Busy, busy without touching the ground——
In fact, the meeting was not as busy as expected.
First, the burden of negotiation rests on Donald’s shoulders.
Secondly, the so-called interview is just sitting on the sofa and talking.
Even though invisible swords and sword shadows filled the air, burning countless brain cells, and feeling tremendous pressure and fatigue on the mental level; but in the final analysis, it still cannot be compared with the layer upon layer of urgency that comes from the duel on the field, and it does not seem to be that Busy. After finishing the meeting with Under Armor and Adidas, there was actually a four-hour window before heading to dinner——
Levi returned to the team hotel, and first went to the gym to complete three hours of basic training; then he happened to meet several defensive players who were discussing defensive tactics. He, a running back, sneaked into the defensive team meeting and started a heated exchange with everyone. discuss.
It's definitely an added perspective for the defense to have an offensive player tell them how they read the defense.
Likewise, it was an eye-opening class time for Levi to understand how the defense sets up plays to disrupt the offense.
Normally, whether the offensive team or the defensive team, studying their own tactical manual has already consumed all their time and energy. How can there be time to understand the opponent's tactical layout——
Anyway, as long as the coaching staff understands, the players just obey the coach's instructions.
At present, although it is not a formal defensive team meeting, just a few players gathering together to study and discuss the tactical manual, Levi's joining has still benefited both parties a lot.
Open the door to a whole new world.
An hour flew by without even having time to notice.
If Donald hadn't called Levi in advance to remind him of the time, Levi and the defensive team might not have known when the study group meeting would end.
In a hurry, I took a combat shower, changed a set of clothes, and left the hotel again to go to the appointment.
Fortunately, I'm not late.
Dinner, very enjoyable.
LeBron James and Levi both had their own needs, so naturally they cooperated fully. After resolving the misunderstanding, both of them treated the phone call as a funny story and joked with each other.
As the top superstar in the NBA, LeBron has shown his superstar style well. Even if this is not Cleveland, the chance of him being recognized by passers-by is very high.
Tonight, LeBron was very close to the people. He took photos and hugged the fans cordially, and introduced Levi enthusiastically. He did not hesitate to praise him in his words, such as "superstar", "emerging from the sky", and "absolute". "Should not miss it", which allowed Levi to enjoy a little bit of superstar treatment——
Especially when passers-by actually recognized Levi, it once again proved that the promotional effect of the overwhelming billboard promotion this week was indeed extraordinary.
For now, Levi still lacks a solid sense of his own awareness.
The popularity always stayed on the Internet; in real life, Levi's recognition was limited to Kansas City. He was already a household name in the city, but after leaving Kansas City, he still didn't feel this popularity.
I never expected that I would have a little experience in Los Angeles.
After dinner, LeBron and Levi went to the bar and actively introduced Levi to a group of his friends, and the group had a good time.
However, it did not last long. LeBron also knew that Levi would have training tomorrow. At 9:30, LeBron personally escorted Levi to leave. After waiting for Levi to leave, LeBron returned to the bar, not for Carnival, but to meet the players:
The trick of hiding people's eyes has come to an end, and the real drama finally begins.
Levi returned to the hotel and went to bed early as usual according to his biological clock, but he did not expect that the taste of Vanity Fair in Los Angeles would continue.
"The rising star of the NFL is lost in the bustling Los Angeles, the beginning of his fall?"
Levi: What?
