1784. Prestigious schools in droves
Qin Shiou told Lewis that Michelle had just entered his first year of high school, and even if he worked hard to skip one level in school, it would take at least another two years to go to college.
Lewis said with a smile: "Two years is not a long time, Mr. Qin, we are willing to wait, we just want to get one promise from you, that is, in the future, Michelle will go to college, and let him go to our Davidson College." I can swear that as long as Michelle is willing to come to us, then the school is willing to provide him with the best scholarship. ”
Qin Shiou thought secretly, it seems that Michelle's performance in the Nike Youth Basketball Summit has made the famous sports schools in the United States tempted, at least Davidson College is tempted, this school is good, and he plans to agree.
At this time, Winnie walked over and asked with a smile, "Mr. Lewis, do you need some coffee?" ”
When she spoke, she took advantage of Lewis's inattention to give Qin Shiou a look. The husband and wife were of the same heart, and the Qin officials immediately understood what Winnie meant, which meant that he should not make a promise and think twice.
Although he didn't understand Winnie's consideration, Qin Shiou still cautiously said: "I work hard, but I can't promise, Mr. Coach, I hope you can understand, I lack understanding of your school, and I'm not sure about Michelle's wishes, I want to give you an answer after comprehensive consideration, is it okay?" ”
Lewis still wanted to persuade him, but with Winnie's reminder, Qin Shiou was iron-hearted, and he refused to make a promise, Lewis had to reluctantly agree after understanding this, and before leaving, he took Qin Shiou's hand and said: "Mr. Qin, I hope I can get your reply as soon as possible, and I hope to have the opportunity to coach this child." ”
After coffee, Lewis left the fishing grounds, and Michelle was still playing basketball on the beach, the soft sand did not affect his ball, and the basketball hit the sand and bounced. There was a dull sound, and the height fell right in his hands, and this control of power was absolutely excellent.
After sending Lewis away, Qin Shiou asked Winnie curiously, "Honey, what did you mean by giving me a look just now?" ”
Winnie chuckled, "Don't make promises." I got word that the town has recently come to several groups of people from American universities, and if I'm not mistaken, they're all here for Michelle. ”
Qin Shiou was surprised, Michelle's child is so influential? He was only a freshman in high school, and he attracted so many outstanding basketball schools to recruit him? But it's understandable to think about his performance at the basketball summit tournament, when he was really in the limelight, like a basketball superstar on the rise.
Thinking about it this way, it makes sense. Michelle's performance is not inferior to those talented high school students in the United States, and those people have long been divided among the major elite schools, and they have almost decided which college they want to attend in the future before they enter their first year of high school.
American universities are very eager for young geniuses, and the most popular of them is the sports young geniuses, which are the focus of competition among the major universities, because the achievements of sports talents are phenomenal, and academic talents need time to accumulate, and even take decades to win the Nobel Prize and the Fields Medal. Compared with. Athletic talent can make an impact the year they enter college.
The reason for competing for these talents has to do with the way American universities make money. Especially for private universities, most of their development funds rely on members of the alumni association to raise donations, that is, graduates who develop better in society will donate to their alma mater to fund the development of their alma mater, for example, Winnie donated a lot to her alma mater, the University of Western Ontario.
However, it is not possible for graduates to donate for no reason. There is always a need for a name, and the best reason to donate is what honor the school has achieved, every time these universities win awards and receive honors, they will receive a large number of graduates to donate funds, and the fastest can bring honor to the school. It is major sports events, such as basketball, rugby, baseball and ice hockey, etc., and naturally this talent is also sought after by major schools.
Lewis came in the morning, and in the afternoon he came to the fishery, and this time there were enough people, a team of five people, led by a middle-aged white man, about forty years old, with a burly, ruddy complexion, and walking with a long walk.
The tiger and the leopard were lying lazily at the door, they looked listless, but in fact, their eyes were staring at these people, as long as they felt that they had bad intentions, they could immediately turn into the god of war in the fishing ground to fight.
Qin Shiou greeted these people, and the middle-aged man in the lead shook hands with him and introduced himself: "Hello, Mr. Qin?" I'm John Capuson II, head coach of the Georgetown University Marvel Team, and it's an honor to be a guest at your fishing grounds, and I have to say, man, your fishing grounds are big and beautiful, especially this garden, it's like a wonderland! ”
Hearing Capuson II's boastful words, Qin Daguan said that you are right, with the completion of the garden, the fishery is full of garden atmosphere, and it is indeed very charming, and from this point of view, the head coach of the Georgetown University basketball team is much better than Lewis's social skills.
The Georgetown University Exclamation Team is well-known in American college basketball, and Qin Shiou knows more about it than the Davidson College basketball team, because his teenage idol Aaron Iverson was born on this team, and the Exclamation Team has sent a lot of talent to the NBA, especially interior stalwarts such as Ewing, Iron Hammer Mourning, Oyama Mutombo, and now the NBA's Roy Hibbert and Greg Monroe.
However, although there have been talents exported to the NBA over the years, after Iverson, the team has never given birth to superstars, and the team's record has not been able to make a breakthrough, and when did Iverson leave the college campus to enter the NBA? It's been almost 20 years since 1996......
With experience in negotiating with Lewis, Qin Shiou came up and got straight to the point and asked, "I understand your purpose, but if my child goes to your school, what kind of preferential treatment can he enjoy?" ”
"Absolute core, all tactics will revolve around him!" Capusen II said firmly.
Qin Shiou looked at him suspiciously, and said, "As far as I know, your school's basketball team has a tradition of iron-blooded inner lines, and my young man is an outside line, this may not be appropriate, right?" ”
Capuson II said: "We have cultivated so many high-quality inside lines, not that we only develop inside lines, but we lack high-quality outside players to join and cannot show our strength in the development of interior superstars!" Michel Auerbach is one such opportunity, we will both win! ”
Qin Shiou said: "This sounds good, but with all due respect, except for AI, you have no achievements in the outside line." ”
Capusen II said, "Mr. Qin, I bet you must know what Michelle needs to cultivate the most now, right?" He needs to turn into a man, a real tough guy! Again, with all due respect, your lad doesn't have a big heart for professional basketball, and he doesn't have a nerve, and we're the best at that! (To be continued.) )
