Chapter 16: Departure

In the next four months, Meng Xiaohao devoted himself to training and learning English, and his life became much more fulfilling. He and the coach also went to his mother separately and persuaded his mother to let her agree to Meng Xiaohao to go to the United States to participate in the McDonald's All-Star. Although his mother did not agree at first, and even resolutely opposed it, she still did not resist the coach's daily home visit after all, and finally nodded.

Zhifei Middle School, in the Asian competition held in February, performed averagely, only passed the first round, and was eliminated by a team from Iran in the second round, but Li Mulin's outstanding performance and talent visible to the naked eye made everyone very surprised and emotional.

The fact that Meng Xiaohao received the invitation of UCLA and McDonald's All-Star has been known by the media, and after the media reported it, it also caused a heated discussion, and many reporters also gathered around the gate of Zhifei Middle School to interview Meng Xiaohao.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, four months have passed.

"I can't accompany you this time, I still have tasks at school, after you get there, there will be a UCLA staff member to take you for systematic training, you have to train well, don't embarrass the Chinese, you know?" At the airport, the coach patted Meng Xiaohao on the shoulder.

The coach was the only one who came to see Meng Xiaohao, Meng Xiaohao's mother needed to go to work, and second, she didn't want to see him off at all, so she didn't come.

"I know, don't worry, it's impossible to lose face, believe me!" Meng Xiaohao smiled, if it weren't for the persistence of this coach, then Meng Xiaohao would definitely not have today's achievement, let alone going to the United States, even becoming a member of the school team, it would be out of reach.

"Alright, it's almost time, you should go through security!" The coach looked at the time, and it should be almost, "There's no one to protect you over there, you have to use your strength to fight a world, you know?" ”

Meng Xiaohao nodded, "I know, then I'll go first!" With that, Meng Xiaohao walked towards the security channel. Meng Xiaohao will not be sensational, he is very grateful to the coach, but he will not hug the coach and cry because he will not come back for a long time when he goes to the United States this time, and then say what to wait for me to come back, which he can't say.

Meng Xiaohao waved as he walked until he entered the security check, and then entered the terminal......

The coach looked at Meng Xiaohao's departing back, "This kid, you have to behave well for me, don't embarrass me!" ”

At this time, Meng Xiaohao was sitting on the seat in the terminal building fiddling with his mobile phone, although the expression on his face was very calm, his heart was very excited. The United States, that is the name he has often heard since he was a child, the origin of basketball, the only holy place in the hearts of basketball lovers in the world, and now, he is about to fly to that place to start his new basketball career, thinking of this, Meng Xiaohao can't help but boil his blood.

He has to train so hard every day, he has to play under the pressure of his mother every day, and his efforts over the years have not been in vain, he has been fighting for his dreams, and these results are the best reward for him.

"When you go to the United States, you have to play hard, and strive to stay in the United States to play in the North American league and become a professional player after college!" Meng Xiaohao said secretly in his heart.

At this time, Meng Xiaohao looked at the time, it was almost ......

"Alright, it's time to board the plane."

"America, I'm coming!"

At the same time, Zhifei Middle School ......

"Li Mulin! I heard that Senior Meng Xiaohao went to the United States today, right? During class, the female classmate sitting next to Li Mulin asked in a whisper.

"yes, his plane today is almost about to take off now!" Li Mulin glanced at the time and nodded.

"Wow, Senior Meng is so amazing, he can go to the United States to play!" The female classmate said, her eyes full of admiration.

"What? Fancy it? Li Mulin looked at the female classmate's somewhat nymphomaniac face, and couldn't help but smile, "You don't have a chance, that guy may not be able to come back." As he spoke, Li Mulin turned his face out of the window, and his eyes revealed a firmness......

"By the time I'm in my junior year of high school, I'm going to play in the United States!"

The face of the girl who was said by Li Mulin to have fallen in love with Meng Xiaohao just now suddenly turned red, "I don't call it fanciing, that's called appreciation and worship!" ”

The female classmate quibbled like this, and Li Mulin laughed out loud with a "poof".

"Then let's talk about you, you don't play badly, when will you be like Senior Meng?" Not to be outdone, the female classmate asked rhetorically.

When the female classmate asked, the smile on Li Mulin's face disappeared instantly, and was replaced by a serious and serious face.

"You...... What are you doing? ”

"Hmph, I'm definitely going to surpass him, I'm going to play in the United States, I'm going to beat him professionally!" Li Mulin said, a little excited, and his voice was a little louder.

"Li Mulin! What are you muttering below? ”

At this time, the teacher on the stage suddenly shouted, which directly scared Li Mulin into shrinking his neck.

Hill Middle School Basketball Team Training Gym, Pennsylvania, USA......

"That kid named Meng Xiaohao should get on the plane and come here!" It was Eddick who spoke.

"Yes, it's almost there the day after tomorrow." Sit next to Edwick on Brooke Road.

"This kid is so good, he can actually receive an invitation from UCLA!" Eddick smiled.

"This kid is very strong, didn't he also receive an invitation to the McDonald's All-Star! Just as my understudy! Brooke said, smiling a little gloatingly.

"Richard is so angry, that self-righteous guy let Meng Xiaohao grab the position of the second team, and he definitely can't make Meng Xiaohao feel better!"

"Then it depends on whether Meng Xiaohao can use his strength to shut up Richard, here, everything is respected by strength!" Brooke looked out the window, and it was night in the United States, and countless stars were twinkling in the sky

"Meng Xiaohao, let me see what kind of results you can play in the United States, don't let me down!" The corners of Brooke's mouth lifted up, and a smile appeared on his face.

...... on board

Meng Xiaohao is the first time to take a plane, so he is very uncomfortable with the tinnitus caused by the blockage of the throat tube on the plane, although the coach has told him that there will be tinnitus when he takes the plane, but Meng Xiaohao obviously thinks that the degree of tinnitus is too low.

The whole flight will last 13 hours, Meng Xiaohao felt numb when he thought about it, before getting on the plane, Meng Xiaohao was still very much looking forward to taking the plane, but after getting on the plane and taking off, Meng Xiaohao regretted it a little. Meng Xiaohao sat near the wings, so the noise was very loud, and the noise and tinnitus made Meng Xiaohao very uncomfortable.

"Oh my God, is it so hard to fly?" Meng Xiaohao leaned back on the back of the chair with a helpless face, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and relieved his tinnitus.

"Excuse me, sir, are you feeling any sick?" At this time, a flight attendant saw that Meng Xiaohao's face was not very good, and stepped forward to ask.

Meng Xiaohao waved his hand when he heard this, "It's okay, it's just my first time flying, so I'm not very adaptable." The flight attendant's concern still made Meng Xiaohao feel a trace of warmth.

"Well, if Mr. has any discomfort, tell us in time!"

Meng Xiaohao nodded.

"Hello sir, are you Meng Xiaohao?" At this time, the person sitting in the back seat of Meng Xiaohao patted Meng Xiaohao's shoulder.

Meng Xiaohao looked back and found that he was a foreigner, and although he was a foreigner, he spoke fluent Mandarin.

"It's me...... What's wrong? Meng Xiaohao didn't expect that there were still people on the plane who knew him.

"Ah, hello, my name is Edward!" At this time, the foreigner took out a business card from his arms, "I'm an agent!" ”

Meng Xiaohao looked at Edward's business card with a puzzled expression, "Agent? What does a broker ask me to do? ”

"Maybe you don't understand it now, but you'll know later!" Edward didn't rush to explain anything, just smiled slightly, and sat down in his place.

Meng Xiaohao looked at the business card......

"Fields. Edward ......"
