[I couldn't help it, so I posted another chapter, please recommend, collect and reward!]

On May 13, 1996, Joni's high school alma mater was here, North Lawrence High School. Meanwhile, Indiana State University is also located in this small town.

Joni took a plane from Knoxville to Indianapolis, and then took a bus to the small town. He got off the bus and the first thing he did was to call Jimmy Adams. Jimmy Adams was a native of Terrehaut and he also owned a small car.

Soon, Jimmy Adams drove his somewhat worn-out classic car to Jonny.

"Hello, Joni, welcome back!"

"Hey, buddy, don't smile so ugly. Tell me you invited a few reporters." Joni threw his luggage away from the back seat of the car, then sat on the passenger seat, and looked at Jimmy Adams. Joni then realized that Jimmy Adams was looking at Joni with his slutty smile.

"Okay, okay, Jonny, let's not mention the NBA for now. Why don't we go to Indiana State University first? Coach Joe Hal is also very interested in you!" Last time Jimmy Adams agreed to Jonny's decision to go directly to the NBA in anger. Not long after, Jimmy Adams regretted it.

Who are the high school students who announced their direct entry to the NBA? Kevin Garnett, and high school students who have announced their participation in the NBA draft this year, Jermaine O'Neal, Kobe Bryant and Tucky Mike Daway Kobe Bryant are the number one high school students in the United States this year, Jermaine O'Neal is a member of the first team of high school students in the United States, and Tucky Mike Daway is the number one high school student in North Carolina, and what about Joni? Indiana's sixth high school student...

If it is placed in the United States, Joni probably won't even be in the top 50, let alone participate in the NBA draft directly, and then be selected in the top 60. So, after Jimmy Adams thought about it carefully, he still felt that Joni shouldn't be directly participating in the NBA draft directly.

"Jimmy, please don't want it."

"It's okay, Jonny, just go and have a look." Jimmy Adams immediately interrupted Jonny and drove to Indiana State University.

In the history of the NCAA, Indiana State University is just an unknown small character. Under normal circumstances, they can only be regarded as a second-rate school. This second-rate school has had two legends, one is Larry Bird. The unexpected appearance of the Big Bird made Indiana State reach the NCAA final. The other is that Indiana State University is the beginning of his coaching career as a legendary coach John Wooden.

However, the current Innocent University cannot even score in the NCAA first-level league, which is why Joni did not strongly refuse to go to Innocent University. He knew that even if he promised to go to Innocent University, Jimmy Adams would not agree. Joni only needs to say no immediately when he heard the word Wake Forest.

Arriving at Innocent, Joni saw two people in the arena, one tall with blond hair and the other with white hair. When Jimmy Adams saw the tall man with blond hair, he was stunned in an instant.

"Hey, buddy, what's wrong?"

"Larry...Byder..." Jimmy Adams murmured, and he was stunned, as if he had completely lost the ability to think and react.

Five minutes later, Jimmy Adams returned to normal and began to chat happily with old coach Hal.

"Coach Hal, why did you invite this great god?" Jimmy Adams asked in a low voice.

"Oh, Innocent University has not risen for a long time. We are now just a small team in the second-tier league, which is incomparable to those teams in Wake Forest, so I can only call Larry over. I hope you can choose Innocent University for Larry's sake." Hal said helplessly.

"Who is he? Why should I see his face?" At this time, a sudden voice came. Jimmy Adams was stunned again, and Coach Hal also opened his eyes wide and looked at the master who said this sentence speechlessly.

But Larry Bird just frowned and said nothing.

"Jimmy, stop talking nonsense. You know I'm going to go directly to the NBA!" Joni ignored it and told the truth. He didn't know the so-called Larry Bird, but he had heard of the name. But Joni was a little worried. He looked at Jimmy Adams' expression just now. What a great character should be. He was afraid that Jimmy Adams would sell him because of this Larry Bird.

Hearing Joni's words, the old coach Hal also frowned. He looked at Jimmy Adams with a questioning look on his face.

"Coach Hal, sorry, actually Joni wanted to go directly to the NBA, so I brought him here this time just to persuade him, but I didn't expect..." Jimmy Adams explained with a blushing face, he felt a little embarrassed.

Soon, Jonny and Jimmy Adams left Indiana State University. Jimmy Adams almost scolded Jonny all the way. Along the way, Jonny also learned about the identity of Larry Bird. Like James and Kobe, Jonny knew, Larry Bird was a generation of NBA stars that children in 1996 liked and loved extremely.

Fortunately, Joni, who used to be a Chinese who didn't know anything and didn't know anything about the NBA at all, turned a blind eye to the outside world. Otherwise, Joni, who is now, might be exposed.

Back at his alma mater, North Lawrence High School, Joni felt a familiar feeling. He lived here for 4 years. Because his parents died early, he had no choice but to come here and receive a high basketball scholarship to continue his life. And this school that gave him a new life has long been imprinted in his heart.

Although it was just the second owner of this body, Joni Lee was still feeling a little moved when he saw his alma mater again. He walked all the way to the basketball hall and greeted his acquaintances in the school.

"Wow, senior is back! Let's have dinner together later!"

"Wow, so handsome, Senior Joni and Senior Jimmy Adams!"

"Senior Joni, teach me to shoot three points!"

There were screams of exclamations all around him, which made Joni suddenly feel satisfied. It seemed that this body was still very popular. Joni Li fell in love with this feeling. In his previous life, he was just an otaku and a squid, and he had never treated this way.

On the third day back to his alma mater, Joni held his announcement ceremony for the NBA draft at the alma mater’s basketball court.

The deadline for registration for the NBA draft is on May 20th, so Joni is just enough to register now, but Joni is in a state of surprise at this time.

"Jimmy, you actually found so many reporters?" He looked in disbelief, as if something earth-shaking was happening in front of him.

In fact, there were only three people in front of him, a total of two media outlets.

Jimmy Adams scratched his head embarrassedly: "Jonny, listen to me, I called a lot of newspapers. When they heard a high school student wanted to participate in the NBA draft directly, they were all very surprised: 'Wow, who is it?' Then, when they heard that they were Indiana's sixth high school student, almost everyone hung up the phone."

Joni was helpless. He could only say something in front of these two media outlets that made Joni feel uneven: "I announce that I, Joni Lee, officially participate in the NBA draft!"

The two media outlets who came to attend the ceremony that day, one was a local Indiana media. There was only one person coming, holding a notebook and a pen, and the other was much more professional. NBA-Draft reporter Joe Wadden, with his cameraman, interviewed Jonny Lee.

Countless years later, when Jowaden recalled everything at that time, he smiled and said, "That's very funny. He looked serious, as if there were thousands of people in front of him. In fact, including his agent, there were only four people in total. But no one expected that he would achieve such a success!"
