Meng Xiaohao returned to China for less than a week, and took his mother and coach on a plane to New York.

Now that the draft is very close, Meng Xiaohao does not plan to return to Los Angeles directly, he and Sarid have scheduled to meet in New York, and Sarid will also arrive in New York at that time.

As soon as Meng Xiaohao and his entourage arrived at the airport, they were intercepted by various media, China has not had a person who can play in the North American league for a long time, and he has played very well in the college league, and the experts' draft predictions are also in the forefront.

Meng Xiaohao's popularity in China has become more and more high, and his outstanding performance in the American college league has been reported by the domestic media, and many people have high hopes for him, although there are still many people who question Meng Xiaohao, but most people recognize and praise him.

The scene of Meng Xiaohao being surrounded by reporters at the airport, in the eyes of Meng Xiaohao's mother, she never seemed to feel that her son would have such a big influence, he was really different from his father.

Meng Xiaohao's mother smiled slightly, it seemed that she really thought wrong, maybe becoming a basketball player was really Meng Xiaohao's destiny.

Meng Xiaohao's high school coach smiled with satisfaction when he saw Meng Xiaohao's current popularity, popularity and calmness in the face of the media, only half a year ago, Meng Xiaohao was still hesitant in the face of reporters, and he couldn't do anything, and now he can answer any questions from the media very easily.

"It turns out that half a year can make a person grow!" Meng Xiaohao's high school coach smiled slightly and sighed.

"Coach Li Xupeng, as Meng Xiaohao's high school coach, what do you think is the biggest change during Meng Xiaohao's time playing in the United States?"

(Meng Xiaohao's high school coach's name is Li Xupeng, and I noticed that the coach has not been given a name, so I have to make up for it.) ）

Coach Li Xupeng smiled, "It's changed a lot!" Facing reporters, Coach Li Xupeng still has a lot of experience, "Meng Xiaohao has grown a lot in the past six months, whether it is playing skills or physical strength, there have been great changes!" ”

At this time, Coach Li Xupeng paused, "Of course, I am a lot more relaxed in the face of your reporters, don't look at him now in the face of your questions, he is quite calm, but he used to pee his pants in a panic!" ”

Coach Li Xupeng's words immediately amused the reporters around him.

Meng Xiaohao looked at Coach Li Xupeng helplessly, "Coach, don't mock me like this!" ”

Coach Li Xupeng smiled "haha", "Xiaohao, isn't this a fact?" Have you forgotten that you were speechless in a panic when you were interviewed by reporters before? ”

Meng Xiaohao glanced at Coach Li Xupeng, "Then I didn't pee my pants either!" You're exaggerating! ”

There was another round of laughter......

……

Meng Xiaohao and his entourage finally got rid of the group of media reporters and entered the terminal.

Meng Xiaohao let out a sigh, "Oh my God, those people are too terrible!" Even if I can face it calmly now, it's still very difficult! ”

Coach Li Xupeng smiled on the side: "What? The calmness you faced with the reporter just now was all fake? Or is it pretended? ”

"It's not a question of pretending or not, it's just that I'm tired, they have so many problems, my language level is really not good, I'm really tired!"

Meng Xiaohao's mother smiled slightly, "Isn't that also the reason why you didn't study hard when you were in school!" ”

Meng Xiaohao's mother finally saw Meng Xiaohao's ability in basketball, as well as his current achievements, and was no longer against him playing basketball, so this time to participate in the draft, Meng Xiaohao's mother also agreed to follow.

Meng Xiaohao also saw his mother's understanding of him, and a stone fell to the ground in his heart, and it was very likely that he had gained a foothold in the professional arena in those four years.

The group got on the plane with a smile and a smile.

……

After nearly 14 hours of flight, Meng Xiaohao and his entourage arrived at New York's Kennedy Airport.

This is all expected by Meng Xiaohao, who is now even more well-known in the United States than in China.

When she saw Meng Xiaohao surrounded by more reporters than at the airport in China, Meng Xiaohao's mother showed a very surprised expression, and even Coach Li Xupeng didn't expect it.

The reporter surrounded Meng Xiaohao, and it was another interview, and Meng Xiaohao could only deal with it with a smile, until Reed's arrival pulled Meng Xiaohao and his party out of the encirclement of reporters and took them to the car.

"Wow, Reed, you came in time, otherwise with so many reporters, I feel like I probably won't be able to get out!"

Reed smiled, "I'm afraid you won't be able to get out, in fact, to be honest, I really didn't expect so many reporters to interview you!" ”

"Why?" Meng Xiaohao was a little puzzled.

"Lucas is here today, I thought that after the interview with Lucas, many reporters would leave, but I didn't expect them to stay and wait for you." There was some surprise in Reed's words.

Meng Xiaohao could only smile awkwardly, maybe he also borrowed Lucas's light.

During the conversation between Reed and Meng Xiaohao, Meng Xiaohao's mother saw that Reed's Chinese was so good, so she couldn't help but chat with Reed, chatting a lot about Meng Xiaohao.

Meng Xiaohao smiled bitterly, this feeling is like a parent meeting the head teacher, asking about the learning situation and the status of the class, although Meng Xiaohao knows that of course it is not like that, but in the bottom of his heart, he also trembled a little.

Reed sent Meng Xiaohao and his party to the hotel, three people, three rooms, Meng Xiaohao did not have the habit of living in the same room with other people, including his family.

……

There are two days left before the draft conference, Meng Xiaohao plans to take his mother and coach to walk around New York, but finds that as soon as he goes out, he will definitely be stopped by reporters for interviews, and it is not uncommon for Li Xueqing to suddenly appear and then want to interview, so Meng Xiaohao asked Reed to take his mother and coach to go for a walk.

And Meng Xiaohao directly asked Sarid and Brooke and others to find an indoor basketball hall to play and kill time.

Meng Xiaohao had already contacted Sured and Brooke and others when he first arrived in New York, and they had already arrived in New York, so it was very simple for Meng Xiaohao to ask them out to play.

In the basketball hall, Meng Xiaohao and his entourage turned back 100 percent, as the favorites of this year's draft, they appeared in the stadium together, which surprised everyone who played in the stadium, and many people looked for them to take photos or wanted to play with them.

For this kind of thing, Meng Xiaohao is still very happy, he does not hesitate to be surrounded by reporters, and then ask all kinds of questions, he thinks that this kind of crowding fans, taking photos, or playing with them is the happiest and most worthy of himself.

Of course, playing with those fans is also to pay attention to proportion, after all, they are all amateurs, of course, they have to put a lot of water, just treat it as entertainment basketball, like the kind of "go to your basketball dream", the ball thrown by the fans is ruthlessly fanned, this kind of thing, Meng Xiaohao does not want to do.

Meng Xiaohao and these fans, friends are very happy when they play, he has not experienced such a very relaxed basketball for a long time, on the court, he has to be serious all the time, he has to concentrate, here he doesn't need to, he just needs to be happy, in a recent popular game phrase, it is "happy is over!" ”

……

Two days have passed, and the draft conference has ...... It's officially here.

On June 22, 2019, the whole of New York City had a different atmosphere than before, because today there was a draft of the North American League, the oldest league in the world of basketball.

Meng Xiaohao opened his eyes, he didn't fall asleep all night last night, how could he sleep with this kind of thing!

Meng Xiaohao got up, went to the bathroom to wash his face, he looked at himself in the mirror and smiled slightly.

"Draft, I'm coming!"
