"Hello, my name is Reed."

When Meng Xiaohao got off the plane, a foreigner walked towards Meng Xiaohao holding a whiteboard with Meng Xiaohao's name on it and speaking standard Mandarin.

"Ahh Hello! When Meng Xiaohao saw this foreigner, it should be that the UCLA staff didn't run away.

"I'm a member of the UCLA staff and I'm in charge of your life during your time in the United States."

Meng Xiaohao nodded, "Then I'll trouble you!" Because of the attitude of this very handsome white brother Reed towards Meng Xiaohao, Meng Xiaohao had a very good impression of him.

"Next, I'm going to take you to a UCLA training gym so you can get a more systematic American training." With that, Reed took the luggage from Meng Xiaohao's hand and led Meng Xiaohao to a white jeep, "Get in the car, I'll take you to school." ”

Meng Xiaohao got into the car and drove away from the airport......

Out of the airport, it is the real American street, but Meng Xiaohao did not have the energy to appreciate this country he came to for the first time, and the 13-hour travel fatigue made Meng Xiaohao very tired, and he fell asleep groggily as soon as he got in the car.

I don't know how long the time has passed, Meng Xiaohao gradually woke up, and the light that came into his eyes was a little dazzling, making Meng Xiaohao involuntarily raise his hand to block it.

"Awake?" Reed, who was sitting in the driver's seat, saw Meng Xiaohao make some movements and asked.

"Almost! It's just that my head still hurts a little now......" Meng Xiaohao rubbed his temples, and when he just woke up, an inexplicable feeling of dizziness suddenly hit his head, making Meng Xiaohao's brows frown.

"You can sleep a little longer, it's still some distance from school, it's enough distance for you to sleep again!" Looking at the tiredness on Meng Xiaohao's face, Reed said softly.

Meng Xiaohao waved his hand, "No, I have to sleep again now, my head will hurt even more." As he spoke, Meng Xiaohao turned his head out the window, wanting to see the country he had come to for the first time, a country that he was both very familiar with and very unfamiliar.

Everything around is the same as the streets of some of China's bustling cities, except that the buildings next to them are written in English, and the pedestrians on the streets are white and black, and there are yellows, but relatively few. Meng Xiaohao looked at the English words on the building, most of them could be recognized by himself, which couldn't help but make Meng Xiaohao feel relieved, these four months of desperate learning English, it seems that there is still a great improvement.

"How is your English?" At this time, Reed, who was on the side, asked.

"It's okay, I can basically understand the words on these signs!" As he spoke, Meng Xiaohao pointed to the billboards outside the window.

"That's good, playing in the United States, if you can't communicate well with the coach and teammates, then it's hard for you to make a name for yourself in the United States!" Reed also said the same thing as the coach of Zhifei Middle School.

Meng Xiaohao nodded, "So I spent four months, in addition to training is to learn English, and completely immersed myself in the ocean of English. ”

"You can read so many words in four months, and your English talent can be said to be very good." Reed was surprised to hear that Meng Xiaohao had only been able to read English for four months, and he could basically understand American billboards.

"You are so good at Chinese, and you speak Mandarin so standardly, how did you learn it?" Meng Xiaohao also raised questions.

"I once studied in Beijing, China for five years, so my Chinese is relatively good, and some people even say that my Mandarin has a bit of a Beijing flavor!"

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Meng Xiaohao and Reed came to the Westwood District of Los Angeles, USA, and came to UCLA......

As one of the most famous public research universities in the world, UCLA is even known as the No. 1 public university in the United States, with a focus on finance studies, technology industry, and film arts. As one of the strongest schools in the American academic community, UCLA also has a high reputation in the sports world, many Olympic champions are from UCLA, and in the American University Men's Basketball League, UCLA is also a veritable powerhouse, winning many championships. A top university founded in 1919, the cultural heritage is simply visible to the naked eye.

"Is this UCLA?" Meng Xiaohao raised his head and looked at this incomparably majestic gate, deeply conquered by this monstrous momentum.

"Let's go, the coach is still waiting for you at the school!" Looking at Meng Xiaohao, who was already a little wooden, Reed was not surprised, and the momentum of the UCLA gate also shocked thousands of tourists, which was not surprising.

Reed took Meng Xiaohao to wear left and right in the school, and then came to the UCLA basketball training hall......

"Oh my God, this is much bigger than our school's training hall, it's more than three times bigger!" It was also the first time for Meng Xiaohao to approach a basketball training hall so closely, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Reed took Meng Xiaohao into the training hall, there were many players in the training hall training, and when he saw Reed taking Meng Xiaohao into the training hall, they all put down the training in their hands and looked at Meng Xiaohao.

"That's Meng Xiaohao? The Chinese player that the coach values very much? ”

"Didn't he also get into the McDonald's All-Star? It is said that Richard has been squeezed into the third team. ”

"Look at this kid isn't very strong!"

"Don't judge people by their appearance, it's said that this guy's high school team and the team of the high school genius Brooke in Pennsylvania played back and forth, and it wasn't until the end that the winner was decided! And this Meng Xiaohao is the boss of that team. ”

"Yes! That's amazing! That Brooke wasn't a fuel-efficient lamp. ”

Many of the training team members were muttering quietly, and the muttering was not loud, but Meng Xiaohao heard it clearly, and he could probably hear what they meant.

"This English is really not in vain!" Meng Xiaohao smiled, but then regretted a little, "Why didn't I learn English from a young age?" ”

At this time, an old man with gray hair and a kind face walked towards Meng Xiaohao, "You are Meng Xiaohao!" I'm a UCLA coach, Elder Anderson. Chris. As he spoke, the old man stretched out his hand to Meng Xiaohao.

Meng Xiaohao also understood these etiquettes, and shook his hand, "Yes, I am Meng Xiaohao, and I am honored to receive your invitation!" ”

Chris couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard that Meng Xiaohao came up with a fluent set of English, but immediately, the surprised expression disappeared, "You are also your excellent strength, so we will send you an invitation." ”

"I'll let Reid arrange a place for you to live first, you just arrived in the United States, and you also need to adjust to the jet lag, you can rest first these two days!" At this time, Chris let go of his hand and ended his polite words with Meng Xiaohao, "Because you are not an official member of UCLA basketball now, you can't train with these players, but I will specifically let you train alone, but you don't have to worry, even if you train alone, the training you receive is genuine American-style training!" ”

Meng Xiaohao nodded, he believed Chris's words, he was also a coach anyway, and if he did this and spread it, it would have no less impact on him.

"Alright, you can go and get some rest first! By the way, familiarize yourself with the surrounding environment, just arrive in a new place, you must familiarize yourself with the local folk culture, as well as some ways of communication, otherwise it will not be good to make any jokes at that time. Chris showed his kind smile, "You kid is very talented, I am very optimistic about you, I have gambled a lot on you, you have to train me well!" ”

Meng Xiaohao nodded again, "I'm glad you can trust me, I will definitely work hard!" With that, Meng Xiaohao and Reed left the training hall, led by Reed, and walked towards Meng Xiaohao's residence.

"That coach Chris is very gentle." Meng Xiaohao said to Reed.

"It's pretty gentle, but Coach Chris is very strict with basketball, and if you don't like what you're doing, he'll discipline you."

"Looks like we can't be lazy!" Meng Xiaohao smiled, for basketball, he is absolutely impossible to be lazy.

Walking on the path of the UCLA campus, Meng Xiaohao had some emotions in his heart that he didn't know how to describe.

"A new journey begins......
