Sierra Leone Canyons School, an independent elite school in Los Angeles, was founded in 1978 and is only 22 years old.

However, it is not small in California.

If it weren't for people like Sun Hao, who didn't have much interest in beauty and entertainment, they would know something about this school.

For example, the children of many Hollywood movie stars such as Britney Spears and Will Smith all attend this school.

The school has a strong athletic program, with basketball and women's volleyball being particularly prominent.

Don't ask what there is no men's volleyball, ask is that there are no scholarships in men's volleyball.

Sierra Leone Canyons School is famous in Los Angeles, and if you can't find it, look for the more famous UC Berkeley.

It's next door, that's it.

Sun Hao, Yi Jianlian, and Fu Paul went to school together.

Because it is an elite school, the management is closed, and when they go, the doorman stops them for interrogation.

"Are you Sun Hao?"

To Sun Hao's surprise, this doorman actually knew about him!

Is he so famous in Los Angeles?

Nor is it ...... No way!

He had crossed Lue on the beach court, played Kobe Bryant on tryouts, and then shined in the Long Beach Summer League.

Although he is now a member of the Mavericks, in terms of popularity, Los Angeles should be much higher than Dallas.

After Sun Hao nodded, the doorman gave him a mysterious smile, and then let them in.

They quickly found the office where the basketball coach was.

The head coach of the school basketball team is named Bob, a bald white coach in his fifties.

He was a little excited when he saw Yi Jianlian.

The age of 16 years old has grown to 2.10 meters, and in this era, it is the same as what Su Qun wrote in "The Little Emperor Brings Talent to the NBA", and his talent is already outstanding.

Don't really think that the United States is all tall and big, and it is rare in the world that 2.10 meters can play a big forward.

"Shall we go to the basketball arena?"

Bob looked like he had been waiting for a long time.

When I arrived at the basketball hall, it was another trial process.

Static test, 2.10 meters tall, 2.22 meters arm span, standing touch height 2.83 meters.

These stats are real physical talent, which is already at the level required by the NBA.

Then there's dynamic testing.

Maximum running and jumping height, 78cm!

Running height, 360cm!

100-meter switchback, 13 seconds!

When Bob put down the stopwatch, he felt like he was going to be developed this time.

What a big man who can run and jump!

It's drooling.

And he's only 16 years old, so there's still a lot of room for improvement.

If this can be cultivated under him, the future will not only play in the NBA, but also the kind that can enter the lottery!

After the dynamic test, it is time to shoot and dribble.

Yi Jianlian was a little jerky in these links, but he also showed a certain shooting talent.

But Bob doesn't seem to care too much, these can be cultivated by the day after tomorrow, and the physical talent is real.

"He's got to play here, and I'm going to make him the best big man in Los Angeles this year, trust me."

By the time the trial was over, Bob had completely undisguised his love for Yi Jianlian.

In fact, it was not only Bob, but also Fu Paul was slightly excited.

When he did the trial video before, he threw Yi Jianlian to Baker and went to himself.

Now seeing Yi Jianlian's trial training, he feels that he can have one more customer.

As the saying goes, the building near the water gets the moon first.

"Now you know how good you are, right? are all rushing to get you. ”

Sun Hao patted Yi Jian and said with his elbow.

Yi Jianlian lowered his head and was a little embarrassed.

It's like a frog that has been at the bottom of a well, but when it comes out, it turns out that it is not a frog, but a rusty spotted leopard cat, which everyone loves.

However, it is slightly different from the previous trial of the Hongyuan team, and the trial of American colleges and universities has some other aspects in addition to sports.

Yi Jianlian was taken by other teachers to do other tests, while Sun Hao chatted with Bob and Fu Paul in the office about some other information about Yi Jianlian.

Bob is really greedy for Yi Jianlian.

The most he said was that there was no problem, and even Sun Hao said that when he was now a member of the Hongyuan team, he could also go to China to negotiate.

The two chatted very happily, but Yi Jianlian had a long time there.

"You're Yi's brother?"

Bob found a topic and talked about Sun Hao.

Although Sun Hao is not tall, he looks very strong.

"Sort of."

"That's weird, you're so much tall."

“……”

"I'm sorry, I don't mean anything else, I'm just curious, do you also play basketball?"

Bob also realized that it was not good after speaking, and opened his mouth to change the subject.

"Mr. Bob, sitting across from you is an NBA player who is a rookie from the Dallas Mavericks."

There is no need for Sun Hao to answer, Fu Paul has already answered for him.

Bob was obviously stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that there were already yellow people playing in the NBA.

After all, not everyone will pay attention to the NBA draft, and Sun Hao is not the kind of hot rookie yet.

"I'm sorry, I don't know, I'm really sorry."

Bob stood up, his face full of apologies.

He felt that what he just said was wrong, Sun Hao and Yi Jianlian must be in a sports family.

It's just that one person has inherited height and running and jumping, and the other one doesn't know what he inherited, but most of the guards who can score into the NBA can't run away with agility and speed.

"May I ask your name?"

In front of him, Fu Paul was helping Yi Jianlian dock, but Sun Hao didn't even seem to ask his name.

"Sun Hao."

Sun Hao replied.

"Excuse me?"

Bob didn't seem to hear clearly.

"Sun Hao."

Sun Hao's speech slowed down a bit.

"You are Sun Hao!"

But what Sun Hao didn't expect was that Bob actually knew his name, and from the pronunciation, it still felt very familiar.

Is this the same as when he met Fu Paul before, not knowing people but only hearing his name?

He's in a good mood.

Just like the doorman knew him before, it seems that his popularity in Los Angeles is really high.

"Are you from Dongguan, Guangdong, China?"

Bob then asked.

"Forehead ......"

Sun Hao nodded, this seems a bit weird, his draft report is not so accurate!

"It's you, I actually saw you, it's incredible."

"You know me?"

Sun Hao was full of curiosity.

"No, I don't know, but I know you, not just me, Anseline knows you! Everyone in our school knows you! ”

Bob's words made Sun Hao more and more strange.

"You're in the NBA! You're in the NBA! Smith, that guy is such an idiot! ”

Bob also began to curse.

"It's going to be legendary, it's incredible."

After he finished scolding, he began to talk to himself again.

"Who's Anseline?"

Sun Hao felt confused.

Don't talk about him, a smart person like Fu Paul also stared at Sun Hao.

She ...... She is a teacher at our school and teaches math. ”

Bob said with an awkward smile that he wouldn't say it was the principal's lover.

Sun Hao also smiled awkwardly.

Anyone who teaches mathematics knows that he plays basketball, isn't it an elite school in Los Angeles that also teaches mathematics?

"I'm sorry, do you remember when you used to write a cover letter to our school for two years?"

Bob's agitation eased a bit, and then he spoke.

When he said this, Sun Hao suddenly understood.

It turned out that he had misunderstood.

Whether it's a doorman or Bob, I don't know him because he's Sun Hao, but because he's Sun Hao.

Same name, but different story.

And when Bob mentioned Smith in front of him, he also remembered that the scout who went to see him play five years ago seemed to have the same name.

I didn't expect him to make such a big splash when he wrote the letter.

"I'm Bob, that idiot at Smith is out of here, don't worry, Yi plays here with me, and I will definitely do my best to train him."

Bob walked up to Sun Hao and took the initiative to stretch out his hand, and compared to the front, he looked much more excited.

As he said, Sun Hao had passed by Sierra Leone Canyon School, but now he brought his younger brother with him.

Won't miss it again this time.

Although he didn't understand why the older brother and younger brother didn't have the same surname.

But it's also very common in the United States, half-sibling.

Sun Hao didn't know about Bob's mental activity, but he still shook hands with him politely.

And judging by this reaction, Bob is a passionate coach.

If Yi Jianlian really chooses to play here in the end, it will be a good thing for Yi Jianlian's development.

They talked about this, and the rest of the tests on Yi Jianlian's side were completed.

Bob was dragged out to chat, and Yi Jianlian went to the office to chat with Sun Hao.

In addition to academically related tests, he also did a series of tests such as psychological tests.

By the time they were done, Bob was back in the office.

However, compared to his previous excited expression, there was a hint of worry between his eyebrows.

"Sun, can we talk privately?"

This change of expression made Sun Hao a little surprised.

After he asked Fu Paul to accompany Yi Jianlian, he went out with Bob alone.

"Did Yi experience anything when he was a child?"

After Bob came out, he asked directly.

"Actually, I'm just his friend, like a brother, but we only met five years ago."

This question made Sun Hao difficult, and he told the truth.

Bob looked like he had suddenly realized, and he had a misunderstanding in front of him.

"What's wrong?"

Sun Hao asked.

"That's right, the person who did the psychological test just now told me that Yi has a strong sense of self-protection and a low tendency to communicate with the outside world, which is not a good thing for his career development."

Bob also told the truth.

"I know."

Sun Hao nodded, which probably means that Yi Jianlian's personality is very introverted.

"One of the most likely things about this is what I experienced when I was a child, so I asked."

"But don't worry, if he plays here, we will arrange for a psychology professor to tutor him and help him come out."

After Bob finished speaking, he couldn't forget to make up for his position.

"Thank you."

Sun Hao said with a smile.

After coming out of Sierra Leone Canyon School, Sun Hao and the others rushed to Long Beach High School.

On the bus, Sun Hao and Yi Jianlian sat together.

Sun Hao's mind still echoed the words that Bob had said to him before leaving.

He finally couldn't hold back and patted Yi Jianlian on the shoulder.

Yi Jianlian turned his head and looked at him suspiciously.

"Can I ask you, what happened to you when you were a child? I mean you don't like to talk much, didn't you ...... when you were a kid."

There was obviously a hint of dodging in Yi Jianlian's eyes.

"Nope."

But soon he shook his head.

Don't you want to talk about it?

Looking at Yi Jianlian's reaction, Sun Hao quickly felt it, it seems that there should be.

But he didn't ask any more questions.

Who doesn't have their own stories and little secrets, and it's the kind that can't be told.

Just like he has a system, only he knows that it is rotten in his stomach.

"Brother Hao will cover you for the rest of your life!"

Sun Hao patted Yi Jianlian on the shoulder and said in a firm tone.

Yi Jianlian can only let go in front of him, which shows that he is the only person Yi Jianlian trusts besides his parents.

Then he should be covered for the rest of his life.

It is a commitment between brothers.

Yi Jianlian looked at Sun Hao in a daze for a while, and then nodded vigorously.
