Outside the arena, I saw that this brand new arena was renovated last summer, last season Pierce topped the best high school in California, and got the sponsorship of an old alumnus to renovate the arena, this season seems to be a joy, won the championship in one fell swoop, and it is said that he got sponsorship again, but it has nothing to do with Zhang Hao, he is about to graduate from high school.

It's not big, only more than 3,000 seats, but it is here that Zhang Hao and his teammates have gone through two years of campaigning, and he played more than a dozen games last season before getting a chance to play as a substitute, and now it has become a three-team in the United States.

Entering the stadium, Zhang Hao threw out a bunch of small cards and small packages he was holding, which attracted cheers from the students.

Although the senior season is over, this semester is not yet halfway through, and joining the school team still has to be practiced three times a week.

In the United States, high school basketball and even junior high school basketball are not just entertainment and fitness, but a place where many children's dreams begin, even if they can't become professional players in the end, it is everyone's dream to hit the state championship and the NCAA.

It has long been a practice for the team to bring "small gifts" to popular teammates in the senior year, but in the fourth year of high school, in addition to the players who still want to impact the NCAA, many senior students have chosen to quit the school team and review for the college entrance examination.

Pierce and Zhang Hao are the only two remaining seniors this season, as they are both among the best high school students in the state, both are in the top five in California, and have the potential to become professional players.

Of course, at present, it is only possible.

"Aix......

Zhang Hao heard a shout, raised his hand to catch the ball flying over, and without saying a word, he took off his coat and put his backpack aside, and went up to meet Pierce one-on-one.

In the high school competition, which high school has two top 50 players in the United States, basically invincible, this year with a record of 33 wins and 2 losses to win another weekly championship after 26 years, it depends on them.

Zhang Hao averaged 22 points, 14.4 boards, 3.2 assists, 2.8 steals and 3.4 blocks per game, and Pierce averaged 31 points, 11.4 boards, 6.2 assists, 4.4 steals and 2 blocks per game. The two games that were lost were because of a game where there was a conflict, the reason was very simple, discrimination, and then Pierce came out, the whole team fought together, and many people were banned, although there were only two games, but Zhang Hao and Pierce couldn't play in two games, and then they both lost.

In the past, when Zhang Hao and Pierce played bullfighting, they didn't think too much, and they just played right, but today, Zhang Hao has a lot more distractions in his heart.

Usually you can rely on athletic ability to have a heads-up back and forth, but this time it became a one-sided crush.

After playing 20 balls, Zhang Hao and Pierce sat next to the rack to rest for a while, and Pierce asked, "Aix, what's wrong with you?" You are not the same as usual! ”

Zhang Hao went head-to-head with Pierce this time, and when he saw Pierce's comprehensive skills, he could do almost anything, and he always thought of himself, so he wandered several times.

didn't say these troubles, Zhang Hao responded: "I'm a little tired today." ”

"Don't worry so much, there will always be a way, I'll ask the coach of the University of Kansas and ask him to recruit you too!"

"You haven't even graduated from high school and you want to make a name for yourself? I'll try again, I can't go to the first league, I can't go to the second league, and the tuition is cheaper. ”

"God, there aren't many good universities in the secondary league, you're almost 1400 points, and you play so well, you can't go to any school...... Are those dogs XXX blind? ”

"You forget, I'm Chinese."

“……”

When it comes to Chinese, discrimination is not discrimination is secondary, Pierce remembered that he was recruited by the University of Utah three years ago and said that he was from China Genius Forward, what name he didn't remember, when the striker snatched a spot on the University of Utah school team, and also caused a lot of turmoil among college students, some people who obviously have nothing to do with them, feel that their opportunities have been robbed, and more importantly, the so-called Chinese genius striker played very generally, it is said that the University of Utah regretted it.

Compared with high school students, college students are obviously much more realistic, from high school to college, there are two circles.

Also, in these years, information and communication technology is still very backward, computer communication and mobile phone communication popularization, in fact, it is just a matter of a few years, now people are still reading newspapers, watching TV news, listening to the radio to obtain information from the outside world, leaving the California basketball circle, Zhang Hao is not famous.

Let's not talk about this for a while, Pierce wanted to change the subject, but suddenly thought of something and said: "Aix, I was invited by McDonald's this morning, and they wanted me to participate in the slam dunk contest. ”

"......" Zhang Hao looked at Pierce, if this guy said something, he must be ready to participate, but he still refused to believe it, and responded: "I heard that Vince Carter from Continental High School in Daytona Beach is going to participate in this slam dunk contest......"

"I'm just going to beat him!"

Looking at Pierce, a chubby mound who is 196 cm tall and almost 110 kilograms tall, and has not jumped as high as he can, Zhang Hao asked, "Paul, are you talking in your sleep?" ”

"You think I'm going to lose, too? Then I'll have to participate! ”

Pierce is so angry!

When he told his mother, she told him not to participate; Tell the coach, and the coach tells him not to participate; Tell the kid next door who idolizes him, and the kid tells him not to participate...... Now there's one more!

"Come on! Need help passing the ball? ”

"Do you think I can pick up your blank pick-up? I'll give you an air pick-up...... Wait, I remember they said it looks like an invitation was sent to you, and you declined. ”

"I don't have time to participate in any slam dunk contests, and interviews with those colleges are enough to give me a headache......"

Just when Zhang Hao waved his hand to refuse to participate, the subtitles suddenly popped up.

"Special Contracted Player Growth Mission: Shine! Slam Dunk Contest triggers. ”

"Shine! Slam Dunk Contest:

Goal 1: Zhang Hao, a special signing player in the host team, received an invitation to the 1995 McDonald's All-Star Slam Dunk Contest for high school students, please assign him to participate.

Bonus: 15 days of life.

Goal 2: The host assigned player must complete at least 1 perfect dunk in the Slam Dunk Contest.

Reward: 30 days of life. ”

"......" Zhang Hao looked at the newly triggered task, and then looked at Pierce, at this time Pierce started chattering mode again......

"Aix, you should go to it, you see, there are a lot of people who don't know your strength, you are famous in California, but you can't do it in other places, if you show off in the slam dunk contest, maybe there will be universities that look at you......"

Pierce didn't believe it when he said this, Zhang Hao's situation didn't look down on his strength? may be questioning Zhang Hao's strength, but more importantly, he still looks down on Zhang Hao's identity as a Chinese player.

This is a very unsolvable problem, Zhang Hao played so well in his senior year, although he was not as good as him in singles, but in terms of the role of the team, Zhang Hao and him Pierce are not much different, the two complement each other, but he Pierce is more dazzling, after all, he is a ball-holding player.

Pierce knows very well that his friend is very smart, he doesn't believe this statement, let alone Zhang Hao?

It's just that Pierce really can't help it, he really doesn't know how to help Zhang Hao.

After listening to Pierce's words, Zhang Hao nodded: "Paul, you're right, I'm going to participate in the slam dunk contest, what about you?" ”

"Me?" Pierce blurted out: "I'm not participating, I'm going to be funny...... Forehead? ”

Suddenly, Pierce reacted and agreed?

"Did you really promise to participate?" Pierce's eyes widened: "That's what I said!" If you participated, wouldn't I have no shots? ”

Seeing Zhang Hao nodding, Pierce hooked Zhang Hao's shoulder and said, "Then let's go together!" The Los Angeles Flyers are coming! ”

"I think the journalist is right, you're more like Charles Barkley......"

"You poisonous man, I'm going to duel with you!"
