Chapter 275: Refusal
Lu Yuan's mood was excited at first, he thought he had achieved great achievements, but after a few rounds, he found that it was not that he was too powerful, but that his teammates were too rookie.
The gap is mainly reflected in physical fitness, and the funny thing is that Lu Yuan, an Asian who is considered to be the worst in physical fitness in the United States, is the fastest runner and the highest jumper in the basketball team of Wilson High School.
There are three black players in the team, one is the black center Ed Limberd, who is black and thin, with long arms, and can look like he has not eaten enough, and feels tired; one is the starting small forward Marin Noelle, a black fat man wearing a headband, who has to rest for a while when he runs two steps, and his shooting is quite accurate, but it is really not good to run the whole court; and the other is Luciano Marinka, a small man wearing glass glasses and braces, who is less than 1.7 meters tall, is also a freshman in high school, plays point guard, and has a hand that is not very good for dribbling, but he is too short and too thin and has no confrontation at allγ
The rest are all ordinary white players, including the substitute power forward Fat Tini Famar, Lu Yuan in this group of people, it can be regarded as a rabbit on Turtle Island, running around the pile, once he gets the ball, Lu Yuan only needs to run wildly with the ball, almost no one can keep up with him.
Obviously, this team is really an interest group, and there must be little physical fitness and confrontation practice in the usual training, and the talent of the players is too average, some talented players are born with very outstanding running and jumping ability, and they obviously don't. Not every black person has super speed and bounce.
After playing for 10 minutes, this game couldn't be played, Lu Yuan's speed was too fast, and the starting team even began to foul him to stop Lu Yuan's ball-holding attack.
Therefore, Hart had to blow the whistle and pause the game, he knew that Lu Yuan, this kid, had obviously undergone professional basketball training and had a strong individual talent, which was not comparable to these patchwork soft-footed shrimp in Wilson High School.
After the game was suspended, Hart called Lu Yuan aside and said, "You played well, boy. β
Lu Yuan wiped his sweat, and after 10 minutes, he just felt that his body was a little hot, and he hadn't enjoyed it yet, Hart's praise he understood, and he smiled and said, "Eh, average, average." I am thrilled to be a part of the Wilson High School basketball team. β
Lu Yuan really didn't know what to say, so he said the simplest sentence.
However, Hart didn't look happy about getting such a great player, and he added: "You don't belong here, boy, I'm not going to let you join the basketball team." β
"What?" Lu Yuan wondered if he had misheard, as if the coach said that he would not let him join the basketball team, could it be that the grammar was reversed?
"I, no, let you, join, basketball team. β
Hart emphasized it word by word, then looked at Lu Yuan, and added: "You are very good, too good, we are not suitable for you." You can think about playing rugby and you'll be a good runner. β
Hart asked Lu Yuan to play "Football", Lu Yuan thought it was football, and quickly shook his head and said, "I don't know how to play football, football, my feet hurt." β
Lu Yuan played football once when he was a child, on the edge of the playground, a ball rolled over, and the people on the field helped him kick it back, but Lu Yuan kicked it up, the ball flew over, and his toenail was kicked off, and he never dared to play football again.
It's better to play basketball, it's safer, although occasionally your fingers will be poked and eaten with a dried radish, but it will get better soon, and it won't hurt as much as a broken toenail.
However, no matter what Lu Yuan said, Hart said that he would not let Lu Yuan join the basketball team, but only said that if he wanted to come and play, he could come and play, but he would not let him participate in training and games.
Hart's approach, the rest of the basketball team said they couldn't understand, they felt that it was hard to come a great guy, whether he was black or white or Chinese, just be able to play.
As a result, Hart roared for everyone to go to training, and then kicked Lu Yuan out of the gymnasium, Lu Yuan could only get dressed, put on his school bag, and then watch Hart close the door of the gymnasium with a "bang".
Lu Yuan scratched his head, but he didn't feel much frustration in his heart, not because he didn't want to join the basketball team, or because he didn't think the basketball team like Wilson High School was boring, but he was sure that one day, he would definitely be able to come back.
With this kind of self-confidence, Lu Yuan sorted out his mood and prepared to walk around the campus, because he found that campus life in the United States seemed to be very different from that in China.
Not to mention anything else, if you don't have classes after two o'clock in the afternoon, it's not too cool, let alone that you don't have evening self-study in the evening.
But in this way, Lu Yuan felt a little unaccustomed, it was only three o'clock now, and if he didn't participate in club activities, he would be able to go home.
Lu Yuan walked to the school's large playground, where the rugby team trained, and he saw a group of people wearing light blue jerseys and helmets on the playground training.
Some people run, some people rush towards the human target, like a bison, all of them are tall and strong, fully armed, and Lu Yuan's heart is beating when he sees it, it turns out that this is rugby, this collision will not knock the sternum into it.
"I wouldn't have played this kind of sport even if I died, but Da Nai is quite suitable, and it's a wall when he stops there. β
Lu Yuan watched attentively from the sidelines, but he didn't expect that someone in the rugby team had already noticed him, that is, the team's quarterback Romero Morales, who was wearing a helmet on his head, and Lu Yuan obviously didn't recognize him.
When it was time for the team to practice, Morales and a few teammates came to the sidelines, and Lu Yuan realized that the leader was the chestnut hair who clashed with him in the cafeteria.
Lu Yuan knew that the comer was not good, but he was not afraid at all, he would run away if it was a big deal, and he was still wearing basketball shoes on his feet.
Morales walked up to Lu Yuan, and when he saw that this kid was fearless, he knew that he was not a bully, but Morales still couldn't swallow this breath, so he decided to provoke and tease Lu Yuan, and said: "Boy, do you want to join the rugby team?
Lu Yuan listened, shook his head and said, "No, I'm not interested in this ball. β
Lu Yuan didn't know what rugby was saying, and he didn't know that football in the United States was rugby, so it became "this ball" in his mouth.
The most popular football game in Wilson High School, which once won the California championship in 1970, became "this ball" in Lu Yuan's mouth, and several football players were a little angry.
At that moment, the coach of the rugby team, a stout black man, shouted at Morales, "What are you doing!
Morales shouted, "There's a kid coming to the rugby team!
The black strong man listened, walked to the sidelines, and then saw Lu Yuan, who was standing on the edge of the playground with his waist crossed, carrying a schoolbag, with a blank face.
The black coach looked at Lu Yuan and said, "Do you want to join the cheerleading team?" Morales and everyone laughed, Lu Yuan understood this sentence, he frowned and replied: "I don't want to join your team, because you are too bad." β
The coach of the football team was called Michael Porter, and Porter couldn't help but laugh when he heard the Asian kid's words, and said: "If you can run for 5 seconds at 40 yards, I'll admit that you're not a piece of waste, or a piece of waste will say we're too bad, and I won't admit it." β
Morales was laughing happily, it was clear that Coach Potter had managed to humiliate the kid and it didn't look like he was capable of fighting back.
Lu Yuan understood the words "run" and "waste", and probably understood what this coach meant, so he put down his schoolbag, took off his coat, and said, "I can do it."
Anyway, he didn't know what Potter asked him to do, he felt that as long as it had something to do with running, he could do it.
Potter looked at Lu Yuan again, nodded slightly, and said, "OK, if you think you can do it, then give it a try, maybe I can consider letting you join the football team instead of cheerleading." β
Saying that, Porter brought Lu Yuan to the plastic runway, because Lu Yuan didn't wear spikes and couldn't run on the grass, so the plastic runway was fair.
Potter set a distance of exactly 40 yards with two wooden stakes, then stood at the other end and shouted to Lu Yuan, "40 yards! If you need to warm up, I will allow you to go for a lap and then slide away from the northwest of the playground." β
The rest of the football team gathered around, and without knowing what was happening, they saw an Asian face wearing a basketball team and jersey, standing on the track as if he was going to run forty yards.
"Hmm!!Come on, come on, boy!"
No matter what happened, someone had already started to coax anyway, and Morales stood aside a little nervously, he saw that Lu Yuan was standing so confidently on the run, maybe he was really able to run.
Just now in the gymnasium, Lu Yuan has already warmed up fully, his muscles are active, and his ligaments are open, which is the best state of exercise.
He stood in front of the starting stake, a member of the team acted as the starter, he waved his hand, Lu Yuan rushed out like an arrow off the string, starting in place is Lu Yuan's advantage!
40 yards, converted into meters, is more than 30 meters, a distance that can be completed in a few seconds, Lu Yuanfeng generally skipped in front of Potter, Potter instantly pressed the stopwatch, looked down at the number, and his face suddenly became a little dignified.
βhat a fuckβ¦β¦β
Lu Yuan, who had finished running, walked up to Potter and asked, "OK, tell me the result so that I can reject you." β
Potter looked at the stopwatch again, 4.62 seconds, which was still running without spikes, even if there was an error in manual timing, it was still a terrifying speed among high school students.
You know, in Wilson's football team, there are very few people who can run 5 seconds, and even the team's best runner only runs 5 seconds occasionally.
Only those supernovas who can make it to the NFL in the future are capable of reaching the level of 4.6 seconds, and this kid ......
Potter looked at him and asked, "Do you want to join the rugby team?"
βNOοΌβ
Lu Yuan waited for this sentence, and after refusing, he walked away happily, thinking that the Lao Tzu basketball team has not yet landed, and he is still playing your fart football.
