5. Mr. Million

"Let him rest for a while."

After a while, Evelin, with tears in her eyes, tugged on Lin Feng's sleeves.

Lin Feng nodded, and Andrew, who had tried his best, fell asleep.

The two went outside and turned off the lights for Andrew.

"I have seen a doctor. My father still has about half a year to live. If you enter the NBA, he will be able to fulfill his wish. There will be no regrets."

Evelin couldn't help but burst into tears. She was a strong girl. She always wore a sweet smile while working in a convenience store every day, but there was huge pressure behind her.

Lin Feng hugged her and let Evelin lean on his chest. All he could do now was provide warmth to his family.

The day after tomorrow, I will fly to Los Angeles to join the team and then participate in the summer league. Every day is a challenge.

Lin Feng knew in his heart that he was very likely to get a two-way contract with the Los Angeles Lakers. This meant that he would be a two-way player. At the beginning of the season, there was a high probability that he would be sent to the G League team South Bay Lakers to play. If he performed well, he would have a chance.

Got called up by Los Angeles.

Signing a two-way contract means that Lin Feng can get a salary of at least US$70,000.

But if the Lakers decide to sign a guaranteed contract with him, then according to the regulations of the new season, he can sign a minimum salary contract of at least US$890,000.

This is a huge sum of money for Lin Feng who is in urgent need of money. Not only can he treat his adoptive father's illness, but he can also live a more comfortable life.

If you want a guaranteed contract, you must produce results in the summer league that satisfy the Lakers management, otherwise you will have to travel between the Development League and the NBA.

"Evelin, I will call you as soon as I get my salary." Lin Feng's eyes were extremely firm.

"Father doesn't want to be a stumbling block for you. You are now an NBA player. He wants you to move forward without any worries. Do you understand?" Evelin had tears in her eyes.

Lin Feng was moved by what he saw. He stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of Evelin's eyes. The person crying in front of him was a beautiful long-haired woman. If she was not dragged down by her family, she might be able to have a happy family and life.

Early the next morning, Lin Feng packed his luggage and wandered around New York City. This was his last vacation and he would go to Los Angeles tomorrow to prepare for the summer league.

Agent Perkins seemed to have disappeared from the world and ignored him. How could a 19-year-old rookie know what to do?

He needs a new pair of sneakers, but he is penniless. Evelin gave him two hundred dollars last night, but Lin Feng refused. He can no longer ask for money from his adoptive father and sister. He is the chosen one, and he has to earn it on his own.

Got money.

Just as I was thinking about it, my hand that was put into my trouser pocket seemed to hit something. I took it out and saw that it was two ten-dollar bills. Then I remembered that Billy wanted to give it to his adoptive father last night.

Twenty dollars? You can probably buy a McDonald's meal.

At this time, a Koenigsegg sports car roared past, with a man wearing a big gold chain and a charming woman sitting in the car.

Snow, this kind of life is really enviable. Lin Feng felt that he had to make some changes, he had to become stronger.

I can foresee the world in three seconds, which is very powerful on the court, but now I urgently need some money. What can this special ability bring?

That is?

Lin Feng suddenly saw a lottery shop in front of him, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

He found a way to make a lot of money by buying lottery tickets.

Lotto, which draws prizes on time, will definitely not work. What it needs is instant lottery, similar to scratch tickets.

It is believed that you can judge whether the lottery ticket can win the jackpot by "predicting for three seconds".

I walked into the lottery shop with full confidence. As soon as the bearded store manager saw the business, he got up from his stool and walked towards the ticket machine.

In addition to Lin Feng, there were three elderly people inside. They were studying the lottery numbers of the lottery, just like the tou zhu station in China.

"What kind?" asked the bearded man.

Lin Feng touched his nose and said, "Instant lottery."

He only has twenty dollars, and the price of an instant lottery ticket is ten dollars a piece, which means there are only two chances.

First, familiarize yourself with the lottery rules and understand what patterns you need to scratch out to win the grand prize.

There is a problem here. It is very likely that all the scratch tickets in this store will not win the prize. In that case, he will only waste an afternoon and might even get a beating from the boss.

But I urgently need some money right now, so I can only bite the bullet and get it.

Foreseeing the future for three seconds means that Lin Feng has to scratch the lottery ticket in his mind within three seconds and then claim the prize quickly.

This requires scraping nine places at an extremely fast speed, which is very difficult.

Seeing him staring blankly at the lottery tickets, the boss felt a little malicious and asked, "Young man, what's the problem?"

Lin Feng shook his head and said apologetically: "Boss, can you show me all the lottery tickets?"

"Are you going to buy them all?" The bearded boss's eyes lit up.

Lin Feng smiled and said: "No, no, no, I want to buy a lottery ticket that can bring me good luck."

The bearded man was not interested in playing this kind of game with him, but he finally agreed. Anyway, he was bored and wanted to see what this young man wanted to do.

Lin Feng held a coin in his hand and focused his attention entirely on the lottery ticket in front of him.

Soon, consciousness reappeared. In his consciousness, he quickly scratched a lottery ticket and compared it with the jackpot pattern.

This lasted for five minutes. Lin Feng sat motionless in the lottery shop, while the boss was playing with his mobile phone next to him. As long as this kid didn't play tricks, the boss could let him watch for a day.

In the eyes of the bearded boss, this guy may be mentally ill, and showing enthusiastic care for patients is also the purpose of the welfare lottery.

During the long afternoon, people passed by on the street outside from time to time.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Feng pushed open the door and walked out with two unscratched lottery tickets in his hand. He could not hide his excitement and even wanted to shout.

Half a minute ago, after repeated confirmation, he found two third-prize lottery tickets from a pile of lottery tickets, with a total prize of US$520,000.

The next thing to do is to find a quiet place to scratch it, and then rush over to claim the prize before the prize redemption center closes.

In the cafe, I found a seat by the window and sat down.

"What would you like to drink, sir?" the waiter greeted warmly.

Lin Feng waved his hand, "Please give me a glass of water and a knife."

Knife? The waiter thought it was weird, but he did it anyway.

After getting the knife, Lin Feng began to carefully scratch the prize area. As the nine patterns gradually became clear, he was so excited that he trembled.

"Sir, is there any problem with our service?" The waitress was surprised.

Lin Feng smiled and said, "No, your service is great."

Half an hour later, a tall man stood in front of the New York Prize Redemption Center with a calm expression. He was Lin Feng.

It won't take long before his card will have 230,000 in cash.

As for why it was 230,000, it was because he paid nearly half of the tax.

"Xuet, the tax is a rip off."

Lin Feng cursed, but this did not hinder his mood. In the future, he would visit lottery stores across the United States and pick out all the winning lottery tickets.

Two hundred and thirty thousand is quite a lot, equivalent to more than one million yuan, which is enough to make a down payment in a 15th-tier city in China.

He wanted to send the money to Evelin and send his adoptive father to the hospital.

Just as I was about to make a call, a notification popped up on my phone, which was Aite's own Twitter.

After clicking on it, I found that the official account of the Lakers had added me, along with Mykhailiuk and Wagner. The three of them are all rookies this year, so they introduced themselves to Lakers fans.

Soon, my Twitter account gained more than a dozen followers, and there were a few scattered comments under the previously posted content.

The tweets on the homepage of Twitter are about James, and his decision will definitely cause a huge shock this summer.

At present, the famous betting company oddssharks puts the 76ers first, with odds of 25 to 1, followed by the Cavaliers, Rockets, Lakers, and even the Warriors.

This is crazy, the Lakers are only ranked fourth, and the odds are 65 to 1!

Today is June 23, and there are only ten days before James announces his decision. As time goes by, the Lakers' odds will rise sharply, eventually reaching as high as 155 to 1.
Chapter completed!
