Chapter 26 Landing in the NCAA
The trip to the United States was smooth sailing, and he arrived at Georgetown University smoothly, and after the school's arrangement, Li Qian moved into a dormitory in the Asian American area, which avoided the contradiction between the many negative skin colors to a certain extent.
The main campus is located in the heart of downtown Washington, D.C., in picturesque Georgetown and along the Potomac River; Healy Hall, a famous building on campus, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
It is also one of the most difficult universities in the United States, and of course one of the top 10 universities in the NCCA Alliance, it belongs to the Great Eastern League.
The environment he is in now is completely unfamiliar to Li Qian, there is no one he knows, fortunately, the yellow-skinned Asians in the dormitory are all compatible.
The buddy who lives in the top bunk is from Vietnam, and he looks like a thief, but he is very nice and helpful.
The guy on the left, from Japan, the two of them are self-aware, and the well water does not interfere with the river water.
There is also a buddy, it is too coincidental to say that he is from China, the two chatted and even speculated, and it is also a kind of luck to be able to meet Chinese people in a foreign country.
After reporting on the first day, I brought the books, American universities are still very strict about grades, and if there is any unqualified, he will be expelled from the basketball team immediately, so Li Qian also knows that he has to study hard.
This China is about 1.8 meters, and he came from Hubei Province to study, named Liu Qi. I thought it was a girl's voice at first glance, but he was indeed a boy, and he was a strong boy, with a particularly cheerful personality, and he played openly at school, and he didn't feel sad at all because of racial discrimination.
Because Li Qian came to Georgetown University for the first time, Liu Qi decided to take him around and visit the campus, because the school is related to religious beliefs, so every student has studied theology.
The building is very religious, but it is also exotic.
"I heard you're here to play basketball? I really didn't expect that our Chinese players were still invited by the coach of the team, I was very surprised. Liu Qi also knows that it is very difficult for yellow people to be able to play in the NCAA.
"I was also surprised, when I was invited, I couldn't believe it." Li Qian also felt that all this came too suddenly, and that time was simply too difficult.
"Come on! Brother, I will always support you! Liu Qi sincerely wishes Li Qian to get more attention on the basketball court.
"Thanks, I'll try."

"Let me introduce to you, this is our new player, named Li Qian, from China, and you will fight together on the field in the future!" John led Li Qian to the team, marveling at the team, which is now slowly declining, but the strength is still there.
The Marvel team has always been a team that mainly trains centers, the pace is relatively slow, and it is gradually difficult to adapt to the pace of modern basketball, in order to change the style of the team, I accidentally saw Li Qian's video, which made Georgetown want to have him.
The team members are quite friendly, and they all greeted Li Qian one by one, in fact, there is no lack of discrimination against him, but it is not too obvious.
After John introduced Li Qian, he said: "The NCAA is about to start, and the schedule has come out, so what we have to do is to quickly run in the team, find the rhythm and style of the team in the first game, and the first opponent we will face is the Villanova University Wildcats." ”
Everyone's face was full of ambition and anticipation for the upcoming NCAA tournament, and many of them were freshmen who had never played in the NCAA before, so they wanted to show off their skills.
"Of course, everyone must also know that we can't underestimate any opponent, even if it's strong or weak, we have to do everything we can to win, is it clear to everyone?" John knows that you can't let up without a game, and it's not that easy to succeed.
Li Qian is looking forward to playing with the most powerful players in the world, many players will pass this stage and land on the NBA stage that countless people dream of, which is the pinnacle of basketball in the world.
Li Qian now has the idea of landing in the NBA, which is the highest honor of a player's career, lifting the championship trophy and wearing a championship ring.
After John finished speaking, he led them to start training, and the training of the strong team made Li Qian a little uncomfortable, and the way was slightly different.
He remembered the scene where Tingting saw her off at the airport, and her words were deeply imprinted in his heart, I will definitely wait for you.
Even if he was elm head, this sentence was obvious, and Li Qian was aware of it, but he didn't know how to express himself, and he didn't even say a word.
(I'm sorry to everyone here, I checked a lot of information on the Internet, but I really didn't find the list of players on the Georgetown University Marvel Team, and I used fictitious players to play for the time being, and I added it to you after I found it, if you have a book friend who knows, you can also come and tell me, and please try as much as possible.) )
