Chapter 4 and Chapter 3 of the Covenant
It was an accident. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Sean was originally the first person in Berkeley High School and the main point guard. At that time, Sean was fast, broke through without solution, and had a strong finishing ability under the basket.
Even at that time, Sean was considered to be in the top thirty for high school students in the United States.
This ranking is very high, and if it continues like this, it will be very soon for Sean to get into the NCAA and then try to get into the NBA.
But that accident changed everything.
In that game on the field, Sean broke through, twisted his ankle to the extreme, and the speed was fast, but the defender pushed it in a hurry, and this time the two fell to the ground.
Sean's ankle was twisted almost ninety degrees, and the sound of bones breaking could be heard.
The calf position was sat on the defender's butt and fractured again.
This time he was injured, and Sean was suddenly away from basketball.
It wasn't until half a year later that Sean was able to get out of bed and walk, and for more than a year, Sean was able to run healthy and healthy, no different from ordinary people.
This is also because Sean's mother was present during the game at that time, and as a doctor, she treated it as soon as possible, and later spent a lot of money to treat it before she could recover from it.
Otherwise, such an injury is likely to cause lameness for a lifetime.
"Sean, please, stop playing, I know you're talented, but...... That's dangerous, okay? That time I watched you play and get injured and it scared the hell out of me. ”
The mother cried as she spoke.
Other children, most of the black people go to play because playing can change their lives, but for Sean, the legacy left by his parents and grandparents is enough for Sean to spend a lifetime, so Sean does not need to play for money.
The father comforted the mother and hugged the mother's long hair.
"Mom, I know you mean well, but I've changed my temper, I'm not so broken anymore, I don't twist my ankles, and now I'm careful to protect myself, and didn't you say that? People have to do something for their ideals, basketball is what I want to do the most, I have my freedom. ”
…………
Family meetings are always the most troublesome and tangled.
The final result was that under Sean's arguments, the parents finally agreed to Sean's request, but Sean made a guarantee and agreed to three chapters.
First, it is not allowed to twist the ankle to break through.
Second, it is not allowed to twist the ankle to break through.
Third, it is not allowed to twist the ankle to break through.
Important things are emphasized three times.
In fact, even if the parents don't ask for it, this is what Sean himself asks for himself.
After that injury, Sean looked up a lot of this information and realized how stupid he was to do it.
In the basketball game, breakthrough is the coolest and most used skill, and if you want to attract attention and become a star, breakthrough is a skill that must be learned.
But the real breakthrough master relies on rhythm to break through, rather than coming so directly.
Twisting the ankle at high speed, almost touching the ground, is a breakthrough that is hard to resist, but it is not inherently correct.
If you talk about it according to the novel, it is the sword spectrum to ward off evil spirits, and the fist of seven wounds.
Not only is practicing in the wrong direction, but it is also hurting oneself first and then hurting others.
Sean used to feel that such a breakthrough was really invincible, but after being injured once, he changed his way and no longer made such a breakthrough.
Basketball is not a sport that is purely about speed and muscle, although athletic talent is important.
With my mother's permission, joining the NCAA was not a big problem.
The key is, what university to go to.
Sean's favorite university is the University of California, Los Angeles, or UCLA. This school is one of the giants in the NCAA, not much different from Duke, Kentucky and other prestigious schools.
But...... It is difficult to get to the basketball court at UCLA.
Especially Sean, who has not had professional training for more than a year, is not as strong as before in terms of competitive condition and competition level.
The only thing that is strong is that he can't move in the hospital bed for so long, and Sean's internal breath has strengthened a lot. Seems fine, Sean has nothing else to do but exercise his breath.
"It's okay son, as long as you pass the test, UCLA will definitely agree to you joining."
There was nothing wrong with the mother's big package. Because his mother graduated from UCLA, this is a very favorable condition for Sean.
American universities are not like Chinese universities, which are ranked according to their grades, although there are all kinds of tricks in them, but they are relatively fair.
But that's not the case in the United States.
Ivy League schools and other universities in the United States cannot be applied for by ordinary people, or they will not be admitted if they do. There are only two scenarios to get into this kind of university.
First, you are really awesome, prestigious schools will rush to admit you, scholarships or anything is not a problem, but to what extent it is almost as difficult as LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony accept college invitations.
Second, it is recommended.
It is not inevitable that the referee should be a graduate of this school, but nearly half of the students from prestigious schools come in this way. With the recommendation of previous graduates of this school, the entry threshold will be relatively low, and in the case of similar grades, one's own people are always more popular.
Sean's mother is a UCLA graduate and a respected doctor, hence that.
Of course, there is no difficulty in getting into UCLA, the difficulty lies in becoming a basketball player at UCLA.
As a giant club in the NCAA, UCLA is very demanding in selecting its own sports athletes, and it is very, very difficult to go through the back door.
Because there is a very big stake in this.
You must know that the NCAA receives hundreds of millions of broadcast fees from television stations every year, and the better the team, the greater the profit, so each team will screen players who are beneficial to themselves.
The players who can get into UCLA are the best people in every small city, and they are all well-known in high school.
It's very difficult to get into UCLA.
Therefore, Sean does not need to take a basketball scholarship, as long as he can enter the basketball team of UCLA, I believe that after a period of time, he will be able to get the opportunity to play.
The next day, Sean's mother asked for a school to find a school. With the introduction of the alumni, Sean immediately got a chance to play.
But Sean's mother kept complaining at home: "I really don't know what the coach of UCLA thinks, he is going to try out, Sean is no better than those idiots who just bounce." ”
Two days later, Sean's mother drove Sean to a tryout, which took place on the UCLA campus.
The roads in the United States are very developed, especially between the big cities, and it only took more than two hours for the two to reach UCLA. As for Sean's father, he can only wait at home.
In Sean's house, it is obvious that the husband is sluggish.
A call was made at the school gate, and soon one or two people came to the parking lot to pick up Sean and his party.
"Ms. Jones, it's a pleasure to be here at UCLA again."
The white man greeted each other with a smile, and the two introduced each other and exchanged pleasantries. Sean responded politely after being praised by the sports director.
The group soon arrived at the gymnasium inside the team.
It's been four months since March Madness, and it's still early for the new season, but there are already a lot of people in the stadium. It's normal, it's always the hard work and training off the pitch that determines the outcome of a team.
