"Zhang Yufeng?" Yang Juncheng frowned, a little surprised, "Although he played well in these two games, it is not enough to cause a sensation in the United States, are you sure that the person you are looking for is him?" ”

"Hmm." George nodded very seriously, "You're right, in the United States, where basketball players are so proficient, Zhang Yufeng's performance is indeed not enough to cause a sensation, but it is enough to attract the attention of scouts, and many college scouts have noticed him, and our university is one of them." ”

George paused, and suddenly became excited, "I watched Zhang Yufeng's game video, and his offensive talent is simply unparalleled, even compared to Irving, the best offensive player in the American high school world today. Old friend, believe me, give me two years to sculpt him, I can definitely make him the second champion of the nBa! ”

"The second Chinese champion in nBa!!" Yang Juncheng's ears were buzzing, and when he thought about this sentence in his mind, his heart was pounding, and the whole person was there.

"Old friend!" Seeing that he had not spoken for a long time, George cried out in confusion.

"You're so confident to say that?" Yang asked, "Since Yao Ming, the whole of China has been expecting another champion like Yao Ming, but no Chinese player has reached the same heights as Yao Ming." ”

"Well, I'm sure!" George nodded seriously, his blue eyes flashed with determination, "He is a piece of jade that has not yet taken shape, waiting for me to carve it, as long as the direction is correct, there must be no problem, it is precisely because I have this self-confidence, so I will put down my work and fly over to you overnight, just because I am afraid that the team coaches of other universities will come to me." ”

"In fact, since the end of the game yesterday, you are the only one who has come to find you, could you be mistaken?" Yang Juncheng glanced at his mouth and said, still not convinced, he knew that Zhang Yufeng's future was brighter and the ceiling was very high, but he never thought about the situation that George said, becoming the champion of nBa, what kind of international joke is this? Chinese basketball has been in the past few decades, and there has been a dominant center player like Yao Ming, in addition to very powerful frontcourt players like Wang Zhizhi and Yi Jianlian, but there has never been a backcourt player who can dominate the world arena, let alone enter the NBA as a champion, which is simply a fantasy.

George shook his head seriously, "No, I believe in my own vision, and I am willing to cultivate him at all costs, so I will come to you decisively." Coaches from other universities didn't come to you, but they were still measuring, and I believe that it won't be long before a lot of universities come to you after one more game at most. ”

Yang Juncheng nodded, remained silent, and continued to smoke.

George looked anxious, "Old friend, I have said so much, you have a statement!" ”

"I can't make a decision, so I can't take a stand." Yang Juncheng opened his mouth and said, "I'm just his coach, I can't make decisions for him, besides, he is only 17 years old and still in high school, even if you are willing to train him, you have to wait until he reaches the age of college." ”

George nodded, "Don't worry, I have contacted a very good high school in our state, as long as Zhang Yufeng agrees, he can transfer to this high school directly after the World Youth Championships, and I will handle the procedures for him in the United States, and I have to trouble you and his family to help handle the procedures in China." ”

"Don't talk like he's going." Yang Juncheng hurriedly said, "I haven't agreed yet, and this also requires Zhang Yufeng to personally agree, I can't be the master." ”

George said anxiously: "Yang, you have to agree first, I believe Zhang Yufeng will also agree, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if you miss it, it will be a waste of his talent, and the loss is also the country's talent." ”

"Hmm." Yang Juncheng nodded, "I naturally hope that he can have a better future, but the decision is still in his own hands, but I don't want you to meet him yet, and I ask for your understanding." ”

George smiled, "I understand, you're afraid of affecting his state." ”

"Hey, hey!" Yang Juncheng said with a smile, "After all, he has a weightless position in the national youth team, if his state is affected, the state of the team will also be affected, although our Chinese team is aiming for the top eight, but now that the top eight have been entered, we must try to go further!" ”

George said: "I believe that under your leadership, these young athletes in China will achieve great results. ”

"Haha!" Yang Juncheng laughed happily, "Then I'll borrow your auspicious words." ”

George laughed along, and was very happy after getting Yang Juncheng's promise.

"I won't bother you, let's go first, I wish you a smooth win in the next game and break into the semi-finals!" He got up and took his leave.

"Hmm!" Yang Juncheng then stood up and sent George out of the door, only to return to the room after watching him go away.

Smelling the faint smell of tobacco in the air, he recalled the conversation just now, and his heart was also quite shocked, he didn't expect that after just two games, Zhang Yufeng's influence would spread to American universities, and this diffusion was simply terrifying.

However, it is also normal, with the development of the Internet becoming faster and faster, the distance between the world is getting smaller and smaller, and any news can be seen on the Internet for the first time, which is extremely convenient.

He lit another cigarette, put George's problem behind him, called in the assistant coach and began to study tactics again, no matter what the future holds, it is still necessary to focus on the present, and winning the game against Germany is the most important thing now.

……

……

Two days later, in a stadium in Los Angeles, the quarterfinals of the World Junior Championships began. The first match is the United States against Lithuania.

After two hours of battle, the score was fixed at 8o:1o3, and the United States easily defeated Lithuania by 23 points to advance to the semifinals.

There is no doubt that the talent of the American team is ahead of the Lithuanian team, but the Lithuanian team also played tenaciously, in the first half of the game, using their smooth coordination, exquisite passing, and steady three-point shots, they kept biting the score, which once made people see the hope of annoying the American team.

Unfortunately, this situation did not last long, in the second half of the game, the United States team's strengthened defense on the outside became more oppressive and aggressive, resulting in a sharp drop in Lithuania's shooting percentage, while the United States' offense remained stable and unstoppable.

In only half of the third quarter, the U.S. team played a wave of 15:4 climax, directly opened the score, and by the end of the third quarter, the lead was more than 2o points, and the outcome of the game lost suspense.

In the afternoon, in the same stadium, the World Youth Championships ushered in the second match of the quarterfinals, China against Germany!!
