Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Ups and Downs of Life
The game on the night of Feb. 27 made Liu Hao's reputation soar.
What is the hype of fighting with injuries, leading the team alone, and heroes of the Highland team has made Liu Hao's reputation appear in the field of vision of many basketball fans and scouts.
At the University of North Carolina at Asheville, Chu Qing, who had been living in the United States for nearly a month, picked up the newspaper in her spare time.
The headline on it turned out to be about basketball!
As a Chinese, even if she doesn't have much contact with basketball, she knows that Yao Ming entered the NBA this year and is said to be playing well.
Reading along the newspaper, the person above turned out to be a Chinese!
"No, I didn't even know there were such great players in our country!"
Being in a foreign land, anyone who sees people or things about his hometown will have strong feelings, and Chu Qing is naturally no exception.
"Is it called Liu Hao......
Looking at the fairly handsome face above, Chu Qing always felt a little familiar, but the tall figure hanging on the basket made it impossible for her to connect with the person she met in the dark night.
"Could it be that I saw it in China before and don't remember?"
After thinking about it, Chu Qing didn't figure out where he had seen Liu Hao on it, but since he could make the headlines of the newspaper, it should be very powerful.
"Hey Chu, what are you looking at?"
A slightly playful voice came, it was Chu Qing's friend Angela, a fair-skinned and energetic girl with big golden waves.
"Oh, I'm reading this newspaper."
Chu Qing suddenly remembered that Angela seemed to be a girl who liked basketball very much, so she asked her, "By the way, Angela, do you know this Liu?" He turned out to be us Chinese, alas! ”
"Of course, that's our hero in Asheville!"
Angela hugged her head as she spoke, and there was a slightly shy smile on her face, like a freshly ripe apple, and Chu Qing wanted to reach out and touch his face.
I have to say that Angela doesn't look like a rice girl at all, she is more like an Asian.
Without waiting for Chu Qing to ask, Angela had already started to chatter, "I'll tell you, this Liu is ......."
After listening to Angela's description of Liu Hao, even Chu Qing was a little surprised, why did such a powerful person never hear of it, he was ashamed of his Chinese blood.
But this is actually an exaggeration by Angela with her own sense of being a master.
No way, for Angela, Liu Hao is simply an ideal in the world.
After saying this, Angela also called Chu Qing and asked her to accompany her to watch Liu Hao's game in a few days, and the latter agreed without thinking about it, just taking this opportunity to see this Liu Hao.
......
While being discussed by others, Liu Hao on the other side was in trouble.
After last night's game, no less than 10 people left his phone number, saying that they had something to discuss with him.
However, he was so tired after last night's game that he woke up this morning to find countless missed calls on his phone.
This really surprised Liu Hao, and he didn't know who to reply to for a while.
On the other side of the phone, the scouts were also in a hurry, and no one answered so many calls, and several calls were busy.
What does this mean?
It shows that there are other people who have been calling Liu Hao, and these scouts are not stupid, so they naturally know that it is other scouts who are contacting Liu Hao.
Often a thing becomes valuable because too many people want to have it.
Therefore, Liu Hao is very confused now, because a large group of NBA staff members actually found the arena, and looking at the formation is like welcoming a superstar.
Because scouts can't communicate with players privately, teams have to send their own "plainclothes teams".
Seeing so many peers coming, all the "plainclothes" who came to the Asheville Civic Center Arena were secretly glad in their hearts: it was good that they came, otherwise such good seedlings would have been snatched away by others.
And Liu Hao, who didn't know all this, was really confused.
Although Lao Tzu played very well, it would not be enough to say that it had reached 10,000 people, would the scene in front of him be a little too exaggerated?
The other Highland players couldn't help but have their eyelids beating when they saw this scene, this Nima is too exaggerated, why didn't they come to see me?
It's okay to be self-aware, just watching all this silently on the side, although my heart is no longer at peace.
Those who don't have self-knowledge still think that their chance has come, and they try their best to show their talents frantically, which is much more positive than when they are competing.
However, many "plainclothes" do not seem to be interested in them, but have flocked to the bewildered I
Liu Hao of G.
"Hello, I'm the Cleveland Cavaliers......"
"Hello, I'm the Washington Wizards......"
"Hello, I'm the Denver Nuggets......"
“......”
A group of people surrounded Liu Hao in front of the stadium, and a series of team names were brought out.
"Uh...... Hello! ”
Liu Hao endured the excitement in his heart, although he was a little confused, but this kind of scene is not the treatment that ordinary people have.
Looking at the intentions shown to him by various teams, Liu Hao knew that his ability should have been discovered by these scouts, and if nothing else, he would be able to enter the NBA next!
Due to the large number of people, it was unanimously decided to let Liu Hao conduct a physical test on the spot.
Receiving physical tests from more than a dozen teams at the same time is rare even in the history of the NBA.
This time, Liu Hao naturally won't have the same reservations as he did in front of Andrew last time, if you still have this kind of opportunity, then don't blame others for not giving you a chance.
Static data: height 196cm, weight 89.2kg, arm span 211cm.
Dynamic data:
Vertical bounce 89.5cm
The height of the running is 371cm
The penalty area runs back and forth for 11.78s
The 3/4 course sprints for 3.19s
Although it is not very rebellious, such physical measurement data is quite acceptable in the eyes of the staff.
However, considering that Liu Hao's weight is really too light compared to NBA players, it may be very difficult to fight in this way.
At this time, the staff who came couldn't help but wonder why their scouts were in such a hurry to let them come to contact Liu Hao, such physical measurement data is obviously not very strong.
Liu Hao also noticed the change in the facial expressions of the staff present, how could Nima feel that this group of people changed their faces faster than the sky.
I knew that Lao Tzu had used props just now, and the physical measurement data after not using props could indeed only be regarded as ordinary.
However, for the sake of face, these staff did not show their disappointment with Liu Hao on the spot, but most of their enthusiasm for Liu Hao disappeared.
It's not that Liu Hao is not good enough, but the people who participated in this draft are all immortals, and the price of gambling on this yellow-skinned defender is a bit big.
And the other option, since Liu Hao has already played a professional game, he can directly sign with the team, and they are willing to give Liu Hao a substitute position, but the playing time may not be guaranteed.
Liu Hao regretted it very much when he heard this, why did he forget to use props just now?
There is no guaranteed playing time, so this Nima might as well just say no!
Liu Hao didn't respond immediately, and the staff of each team also went back.
"This life is really up and down!" Liu Hao couldn't help but sigh.
However, after they were all gone, there was also a kind-looking middle-aged man with slightly curly black hair, who looked like an Asian at a glance.
"Hello, I'm the Miami Heat's assistant coach and head of scouting, Spoelstra!"
The voice of the person who came was gentle and sincere, not as perfunctory as the people just now.
Liu Hao listened, assistant coach and director of scouting?
I didn't expect this to be an official!
"Hello." The two briefly shook hands.
Coach Spo first encouraged Liu Hao, and said that it is really not easy for Asian players to be here, and a wave of Amway came down to say that Liu Hao was really about to cry.
This man is so nice!
At this moment, Liu Hao has secretly decided in his heart: It's you!
