The third day of UCLA's elimination......

Meng Xiaohao sat on the bed, in a daze......

They had just returned from North Carolina the day before, and after coming back, Coach Chris made a brief summary, and he will never forget the sadness on Coach Chris's already very old face, and the decadence on Rivers' face, which he will never forget in his life.

The UCLA season is over, they have reached the round of 16, and they can only sit at home or watch the 4-8s, semifinals and finals......

Although Meng Xiaohao was extremely reluctant, there was nothing he could do.

"My basketball career is over, but yours still has a long way to go!" This is what Rivers said to Meng Xiaohao after that summary, the kind of smile that was hard to hold, revealing that sad tone, made Meng Xiaohao unforgettable.

He sat on the bed, and when he thought about this, he felt a very strong sense of self-reproach welling up in his heart.

Wells couldn't help but sigh when he saw Meng Xiaohao like this, this was the first time he had seen such a decadent and depressed Meng Xiaohao, but then he thought about it, this kind of thing, whoever puts it on, everyone will feel guilty.

Wells stepped forward and patted Meng Xiaohao on the shoulder, "It's okay, don't blame yourself anymore, it's a big deal that we'll come back next year!" Wells reassured him.

I saw Meng Xiaohao shake his head, "No, there is no next year, I will participate in the draft this year!" ”

Wells was stunned, although he also knew that Meng Xiaohao wanted to participate in the draft this year, but he referred to Sured, Drew and Wilkinson and others in detail, who deliberately studied for an extra year for the college league championship.

"What?" Wells asked, "So you're going to give up this title?" ”

Seeing that Meng Xiaohao lowered his head and looked at him heavily, "My original purpose was not actually the college league, I came to UCLA just to be closer to the North American league, playing in universities in China, no scouts in the North American league will notice, and it is also very troublesome to participate in the draft!" ”

Wells also knows why Meng Xiaohao came to play in the United States, and he also knows that Meng Xiaohao does not have the enthusiasm for college basketball that Americans have, although Meng Xiaohao blames himself for his lack of form and his injury that led to the elimination of the team, but he has no idea of fighting for another year for the championship after all.

In Meng Xiaohao's eyes, the championship trophy of the North American league is more important than the championship trophy of American college basketball.

Wells sighed, he didn't say anything, it was useless to say anything, Meng Xiaohao had already decided, and there was no way to change this.

Meng Xiaohao's eyes were still bright red, and the area was slightly enlarged, but Meng Xiaohao listened to the doctor's words and didn't care about this.

Meng Xiaohao is going to participate in the North American league draft this year, and the news has been rumored, although the news was not said by Meng Xiaohao himself, but according to the reporter who reported it first, the news is true.

After doing it on the bed for a while, Meng Xiaohao got out of bed, put on his clothes, and wanted to go out to breathe.

Now it is about to reach April, it is spring, everything is beginning to recover, and a breath of life blooming towards Meng Xiaohao rushes towards him, which makes Meng Xiaohao's somewhat melancholy expression relax a lot.

Looking at the couples walking together on the campus road, Meng Xiaohao smiled bitterly, others say that college life without falling in love is imperfect, and he will go to the draft in a few months, basically even if he says goodbye to college life, girlfriend, it is difficult to find it now.

Since Meng Xiaohao came to UCLA, he has basically devoted himself to basketball, and basically does not take the initiative to talk to girls, although he is very famous in school, but few girls take the initiative to contact him.

It's a real hammer, a straight man of steel.

Meng Xiaohao looked at those and smiled bitterly, he planned to engage in his basketball career with peace of mind now, and then start looking for a girlfriend after he was stable, looking for a girlfriend This kind of problem, Meng Xiaohao feels that as long as fate arrives, love will naturally come. (Iron straight man is no doubt)

"Hey, Xiaohao!" At this time, someone suddenly stopped Meng Xiaohao behind him.

Meng Xiaohao turned his head......

"Rivers!" Meng Xiaohao was taken aback, this person he didn't want to face now appeared in front of him.

Meng Xiaohao looked around and found that there was no place for him to hide, so he had no choice but to step forward......

"Yo, Rivers, what a coincidence!"

Such a blunt greeting was naturally heard by Rivers at once, and Rivers laughed twice, stepped forward, and slapped Meng Xiaohao's chest fiercely.

"What are you doing so restrained, relax!"

Meng Xiaohao smiled awkwardly.

The two sat down on a bench next to the school path......

"How's the eyes?" Rivers saw the whites of Meng Xiaohao's eyes, which were still bright red, and asked, "I remember you said that the doctor told you that there is nothing wrong, why does it look older now than yesterday?" ”

"The doctor said that this is normal, which means that I have begun to absorb this, which is a good precursor."

Rivers nodded.

The two fell silent......

"That ......" Meng Xiaohao took the lead in breaking the awkward silent scene, "I'm sorry! ”

Meng Xiaohao's apology made Rivers stunned, and he looked at Meng Xiaohao with a puzzled expression, "Why are you apologizing?" You didn't do anything to be sorry for me! ”

Just watched Meng Xiaohao's ten fingers mixed together, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence, "Because of my injury and bad state, I dragged you down, caused the team to lose, and you couldn't win the championship trophy at all!" ”

Hearing this, Rivers instantly laughed, "My God, Meng Xiaohao, I didn't expect you to say such a thing!" ”

Rivers calmed himself down and put away his smile and replaced it with a slightly bitter face......

"yes!" Just look at Rivers sighed, "We lost, this season is over, and I'm a senior, I can't stay for another year, I can't do it!" ”

Although there was a lot of ridicule in Rivers's words, Meng Xiaohao could still hear the helplessness and sadness in Rivers's words.

Meng Xiaohao lowered his head reproachfully.

Seeing Meng Xiaohao's appearance, Rivers smiled slightly, and slapped his shoulder with his fist, "I said, don't be so depressed!" Is this like our biggest star at UCLA? ”

Meng Xiaohao smiled bitterly twice, "If you can't lead the team to win the championship on your behalf, what kind of star is you a star, what kind of team leader is you." ”

"You can't think so!" Rivers still had a smile on his face, "My basketball journey is basically over here, I don't have the ability of you, nor do I have the talent to fight on the professional court, but you are different, you have talent, strength, you can go to a bigger stage to show yourself, your path is not limited to UCLA!" ”

"A qualified superstar, a qualified team leader, after the team loses, is not to give up on himself, not to blame himself, but to summarize his own shortcomings, to find ways to make up for the shortcomings, your basketball road is still very long, you have a lot of next year! Big deal, just come back next year! ”

"So......" Rivers patted Meng Xiaohao on the shoulder, "Don't blame yourself, you don't have to say that because of you, I don't have a college championship trophy, isn't it beautiful to have a regretful youth!" If the journey is smooth, then life is too boring! ”

Meng Xiaohao was amused by Rivers' words and nodded.

"But!" Rivers wasn't finished yet, "Don't think that's it, you made me lose the college championship trophy, you have to make it up to me!" ”

"How can you compensate for it?" Meng Xiaohao was a little puzzled.

"When the time comes, you go to the North American League, play hard, win a championship, get a championship trophy and an FMVP trophy and come back for me to kiss the two of you?"

"Hahaha!" Meng Xiaohao laughed out loud at Rivers' words, but then, he put away his smile and replaced it with a serious face......

"Trust me, I will!"
