Chapter 31 Decisions
"So, what was your decision?"
"I don't know if you ask me that......"
"Brooke, can't you make choices like you did when you played basketball, decisively, resolutely, don't be like a child and delay making choices."
"Dad, I don't want to, but when you have a lot of choices, and when you like them all, you can have a headache!"
So far, most of the high school graduating basketball students have chosen their own schools, like Eddie chose Kansas, Richard chose South Carolina, and Lucas chose their local basketball school in France, but Brooke has not moved, as the most famous high school graduate basketball student in the United States now, any choice he makes will get wide attention from the media, and he has not made a decision for so long, which will inevitably make people from all walks of life have different opinions.
"Tomorrow, tomorrow night at the latest, you have to make a decision for me, your dad and my phone are about to blow up those media people in the past few days, so you give me a quick decision!" Brooke's dad patted the coffee table at his house, and his phone calls haven't stopped for the past few days, whether it's family, friends, or the media, they're asking about Brooke's decision, which makes Brooke's dad a headache.
Brooke nodded helplessly, "I see!" ”
……
"What are you looking for me for? I finally woke up naturally,......" Edik rubbed his heavy eyes, "You don't want to discuss with me which school to go to!" ”
Not long after Brooke's father gave Brooke an ultimatum, Brooke went out and called Edik, who was still sleeping, out.
"Sort of!" Brooke sighed helplessly, "My dad gave me an ultimatum that I have to make a choice by tomorrow night at the latest, so I have a headache now!" ”
"Oh my God! Eldest brother! What's your headache? Isn't it just about choosing a school? Are you concerned? You're not too old, how do you feel like a three- or four-year-old child? Edik looked at Brooke's face, and he couldn't breathe out, "You should go to the doctor, choosing a phobia is not such a symptom as yours!" ”
"Not really!" Brooke also felt very unhappy when Edik said this, "I can make a choice, but ...... Eh, I don't know how to tell you! ”
"Look at you, look at you, squirming like a big girl, what's the matter!" Looking at Brooke's suddenly awkward face, Eddick was puzzled.
"Well, let's be honest with you!" Brooke sighed heavily, "You...... Know Madeleine......
"I know! Isn't that good-looking little girl in your class on a good relationship with you? At this time, Edik's eyes suddenly dilated, "Oh my God, brother, you won't be ......"
"She went to Harvard, and Harvard invited me, and I said that, you get the idea......" Brooke's face turned calm back and said lightly to Edik.
"Brother, you can do it!" Eddick gave a meaningful smile and patted Brooke on the shoulder, "But why didn't you tell me yesterday!" ”
"I'm ......" Brooke couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he heard Edik's words, "Aren't I a little shy!" ”
Hearing Brooke's words, Eddick also shook his head with a smile, "So, you're delaying making a decision now, you just don't know whether to choose a college like Harvard or Duke North Carolina, right?" ”
Brooke nodded.
"Harvard's basketball is not very good, so it barely made it to the college league, and Harvard has only made it to the quarterfinals of the college league once, so you will be buried there!" Eddick rubbed his chin and thought.
"But ......" Brooke was about to say something more, but he didn't say it after all, and sighed heavily.
Looking at Brooke, who was very distressed, Eddick patted him on the shoulder sympathetically, "This is called red face and trouble!" ”
"Get out!"
……
"What? You haven't made a decision yet, have you? ”
In the evening, Brooke's phone lit up, and the person who sent the message was none other than the Madeleine mentioned by Eddick earlier.
"Not yet! Still struggling with whether to go to Harvard! Brooke looked at the message that had been sent, smiled, and replied.
"Eh, how many times have I told you, Harvard's basketball is not good at all, you came here and you were simply buried, can't you choose so many schools? What North Carolina, Duke, Georgetown or something, why do you have to hang yourself from this tree at Harvard! ”
"But Harvard is really good!" Brooke, of course, wouldn't say that it was because Madeleine went to Harvard that he was so entangled.
"But Harvard is mainly for business and political talents, and basketball is not outstanding!"
"Okay, okay! Then I'm thinking about it...... "Brooke knows that if this conversation continues, there will be no results, Madeleine is thinking about Brooke's own future, and will definitely not agree to Brooke going to Harvard, it is difficult to play basketball at Harvard, and his ability to lead the team is likely to be questioned.
"What should I do......" Brooke thought, holding his forehead, "or ...... I ask my dad? How embarrassing this kind of thing is! Brooke came up with a bold idea, but then passed it himself.
……
"Dad, I want to talk to you about choosing a school." Brooke eventually found his father.
"What, what do you want to talk to me about!" Brooke's father was also surprised to hear that Brooke wanted to discuss with him about choosing a school, after all, Brooke has always solved this kind of thing by himself.
"That...... Father...... I ......" Brooke crossed his hands together, fighting fiercely inside.
"Dad, there's a reason why I'm not making a choice!" Brooke finally plucked up the courage to speak to his father.
"Oh? What a reason! Brooke's twisting, tangled, piqued his interest, in fact, he didn't understand why Brooke was delaying his decision, and it happened that Brooke said it himself this time, so he had to listen carefully.
"Huh......" Brooke took a deep breath, "Dad, I actually like a little girl, I want to go to a school with him!" ”
Brooke regretted his words as soon as he said them, because he saw his father's instantly obscene eyes, and suddenly a bad premonition welled up.
"Young man...... Not bad! Brooke's father smiled "hehe", "I didn't expect my son to be trapped by love because he didn't make a choice!" Hahaha! ”
Hearing Brooke's father's laughter, Brooke was a little embarrassed, "That, Dad, don't be like this, talk about business!" ”
"Oooh! I forgot! Brooke's dad smiled and scratched his head, "How's that little girl doing with you?" ”
"The relationship is not bad, my high school classmates, often chat on Facebook."
"What school did you get into?"
"Harvard!"
"Oh my God!" Brooke's father was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "This little girl is not simple, she can study!" ”
Brooke's dad looked at Brooke's very tangled expression and coughed his throat......
"Brooke, let me ask you, what do you think of basketball at Harvard?"
"What do you think, obviously! It's not very strong! ”
"Then if you go, how sure will you be that you will lead the team to the quarterfinals?"
"I ...... I don't know ......."
"Good!" Brooke's dad paused, "Actually, you can go to Harvard!" ”
"Huh?" After listening to his father's words, Brooke didn't quite understand.
"Your ultimate dream is to go to the professional league to work hard, so if you go to a weak team like Harvard, can you see at a glance how well you can lead the team? Don't you want to see how far you can go without the help of your strong teammates? In a tougher environment, you can have a better understanding of yourself, so I think, Harvard, you can go! ”
Brooke was amazed, he had never thought his father would say such a thing, which was completely unexpected......
"Moreover, the main thing is for that little girl, don't let your youth leave regrets!" Suddenly, Brooke's father took back the seriousness he had just taken back and looked at Brooke with a grin......
"So that's the point!" Brooke smiled bitterly, but also because of his father's words, Brooke strengthened his determination to go to Harvard.
"Well, since you said so, then, I've decided, I'll go to Harvard!"
