Chapter 38: Shi Lei's doubts

In September 1994, Shi Lei, who successfully obtained a bachelor's degree in biology from the University of California, Los Angeles, chose to continue his studies, and he studied for a doctorate in biomedical sciences with Thomas Seidleck, a famous biomedical doctor at UCLA.

"Stone, my next research topic is the relationship between neuronal memory and biological body inertial memory, which will be a very interesting research topic, I hope you can prepare the original materials and examples in the next time, it is best to be able to find suitable physical evidence, we need to carry out some complicated tests and experiments." Dr. Thomas valued his new disciple, and he found in this young Chinese a quality of rigorous scientific experimentation, and although he was still new to his research, Dr. Thomas felt that Shi Lei played a much greater role than the previous doctors.

"Okay, Dr. Thomas, I'll get the information ready, and as for the physical evidence, I think it will take a while, but I'll do my best." Shi Lei did not have much ambition, but he has always been very interested in the rigor and precision of the natural sciences.

When Liu Han's "translator", Shi Lei, was still entangled in a large amount of complicated data, Liu Han had already practiced in the basketball summer camp jointly organized by Abdul-Jabbar and Mr. John Wooden.

After entering August, Liu Han experienced a lot of confrontation games, and a variety of different styles, different types of elite young players to cooperate and confront, he began to gradually adapt to his position on the field of possession, Liu Han showed the ability to learn and adapt to the young people are impressed, although the unruly Kobe Bryant has been competing with Liu Han, but he has to admit that this Oriental learning ability is really too powerful.

Under the joint teaching of Li Rui and George Crent, Liu Han learned how to give the most comfortable passes to these players with very different styles, maybe he can't pass very wonderful and creative passes now, but he can always find empty players on the court, and his height of 1.95 meters gives him a wider vision than the average point guard. When working with Kobe Bryant, he found that the high school player was very physical, with fast bounce and speed, so Liu Han would pass the ball to the young man with an explosive head that could directly stop the offense; When cooperating with Lei Allen, who has excellent projection ability and active running, Liu Han can also pass the ball to the empty Lei Allen at the right time; When cooperating with Paul Pierce, who has excellent singles ability and rich offensive means, Liu Han also tries to hand the ball to Paul Pierce when the opponent's defense is misplaced. After more than a month of training together, the young people are familiar with each other, and they now feel that when they are in a team with Liu Han, they have the highest winning rate, and they also feel very comfortable playing.

Liu Han has grown from a "pseudo-point guard" who can only dribble the ball through half court to a qualified point guard at an astonishing rate, which amazes all the coaches who participated in this training camp, and they have never seen a player who is so adaptable and able to learn. Kareem Jabbar felt that he should talk to his old club about Liu Han.

Shi Lei passed by the UCLA arena after a day of complicated work, he suddenly remembered that he had not seen Liu Han for more than two months, and he admired Liu Han for being able to integrate into a foreign life in less than half a year and achieved good results, and it took him nearly a year to gradually integrate into the surrounding environment when he first came to the United States.

Shi Lei, who was about to leave, saw Liu Han walking out of the gate of the stadium, and there were several tall companions talking and laughing together, Shi Lei planned to chat with his compatriots who had not seen him for a long time.

"Liu Han, I haven't seen you for a long time, how is it lately, haven't you returned to China?" Shi Lei greeted Liu Han, who hadn't noticed him yet.

"Ha, Brother Lei, I haven't seen you for a long time, I don't have time to go back to China, Mr. John Wooden provided the arena to hold a training camp, I participated, just finished training, have you started to study for a doctorate? Oh, it's amazing, if this is in my hometown, you would be a person like Wenqu Xing. Liu Han is very enthusiastic about the "translator" he hasn't seen for a long time, and it is always exciting to be in a foreign country, and it is rare to meet people from his hometown who have the same skin color and the same words.

"Well, I'm doing PhDs in biomedical sciences right now, are they all here to train this year? There is no school in us. Shi Lei was curious about the few tall black people around Liu Han, and generally speaking, black people in the United States rarely make friends with Chinese.

"Oh, let me introduce you, this is Ray Allen of the University of Connecticut, who shoots very accurately, and this is Paul Pearce, a recent graduate of Inglewood High School, who Coach Li Rui taught him for half a year. Ray, Paul, this is my compatriot Shi Lei, who is now doing a PhD at UCLA, and he worked as a translator for me. Liu Han introduced Shi Lei and everyone to each other.

"Hello, Dr. Shi, it's a pleasure to meet you." Ray Allen was as personable as ever.

"Hello." Paul Pearce, who was a little withdrawn, just said hello.

"Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you, Liu followed him to the court to watch his training when he first came, his three points are very good, isn't it?"

"It's really good, I played him in the NCAA Western Conference round of 64 and unfortunately I lost, but now he's better than three points. Seriously, I didn't believe it when I first heard that Liu had only been training basketball for a year, but now I think I believe that some people in this world are different from others. Lei Allen admires Liu Han's talent very much.

Lei Allen's words reminded Shi Lei of the scene when Liu Han first arrived at UCLA, and suddenly his mind moved, and he felt that Liu Han's situation seemed to have something to do with the topic that his doctoral supervisor Thomas Seidluck was studying, Shi Lei was a little puzzled, but he didn't say it now.

"Seriously, I don't know much about Liu's current skills, but when I first came to UCLA for a tryout, I was on the spot, and his shooting really stunned me. Okay, don't bother you, I have to go, recently the mentor is doing a new project, I need to collect information, I'm too tired, I'm very happy to know you, I wish you all a smooth entry into the NBA in advance, and I can tell others that I know big stars in the future. Shi Lei plans to find Liu Han privately one day, he is now very interested in Liu Han's physical talent.

"Thank you for your blessings, Mr. Doctor, and I wish you to become a real Doctor sooner." Shi Lei, who has adapted to life in the United States, said something that made Ray Allen and Paul Pierce quite happy.

"Liu Han, I have something recently and I may need you to help me, I'll look for you another day, you shouldn't be leaving Los Angeles in the near future, right?" Shi Lei asked Liu Han in Chinese again.

"Brother Lei, I've been in the training gym recently, if you want to find me, come here."

Shi Lei returned to the laboratory after leaving Liu Han and his friends, he felt that Liu Han's situation should be the empirical evidence that his mentor needed, but he was not sure now, and Shi Lei also had a certain resistance to letting Liu Han participate in the experiment from the heart, after all, Liu Han was his friend, and he didn't know if this experiment or test was dangerous.

Unbeknownst to Liu Han, Shi Lei is now interested in his "body", and after he is separated from Ray Allen and Paul Pierce, he arrives at the gate of the school to wait for Safina to be picked up by car. Since winning the NCAA championship and having a more intimate contact with Safina, Liu Han is looking forward to spending alone time with Safina every day, although there is no close contact again, Liu Han feels that it is very happy to be able to chat with Safina every day, although most of the time Safina is talking, and he himself is just listening.

Safina didn't go out with her classmates during the holidays, although she was a little angry that she couldn't be with Liu Han all the time every day, but she was still very supportive of Liu Han's participation in the training camp to further improve herself, and she also thought that her future boyfriend would be a great star. Although the current relationship between Safina and Liu Han is not directly stated, Safina feels that at least the current relationship is intimate, she can communicate with Liu Han every day, and Liu Han's closeness to her Safina can also fully feel that young men and women are enjoying this kind of friendship and the ambiguity of lack of love.
