991. Go to the NCAA
Going to college in the United States?
The basketball strength of the United States, Yi Jianlian has been deeply touched.
He has played for the national youth team against a group of high school and freshmen who have lost by more than 40 points......
It's not that Yi Jianlian hasn't played with the current CBA players or even the national team players, but he found that most CBA players are not as good as a high school graduate.
This is a big blow to Yi Jianlian, originally the Olympics met the United States team, he couldn't withstand the opponent's NBA second-tier stars composed of the inside line, only relying on Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, Liu Mang to win, he can accept it, but some of the national youth team is already more than 20 years old, and the freshmen and high school students who play the United States can't beat it, the sense of blow is too great, and it also makes Yi Jianlian full of desire for the NBA.
Yi Jianlian also learned that the CBA may not be as good as the college basketball league in the NCAA in the United States.
"Sister Lian, you're only 18 years old, otherwise you will go to the NCAA to play for two years? And then when I was 20 and went to the draft, I think it was much more useful than if you were playing in the CBA. Liu Mang suggested.
Liu Mang mentioned this matter, which was quite attractive to Yi Jianlian.
Not only is the opponent stronger, but the more scientific training methods, more reasonable training, and more complete infrastructure of college basketball in the United States cannot be compared with the CBA.
But it can be clearly seen from the income that NCAA basketball is more profitable than CBA basketball.
"Boss Ace, I also want to play in the NCAA, but my high school grades are ......" Yi Jianlian said that he was a little helpless, he and Liu Mang can't compare, Liu Mang was admitted to Georgia Tech.
Liu Mang thought about it, thought of the relatively loose enrollment of the two universities, and said: "It's okay, Georgetown University and UCLA have special admissions for basketball, your strength is no problem, you have to study English hard in the past few months, Da Yao and I will help you with these things, these two universities are very suitable for you, they have a tradition of center." ”
"Really? Thank you so much, Boss Ace! Yi Jianlian said excitedly.
"But you have to think about it first, if you go to the NCAA, you can't have extra income, you can't get national team endorsements, you need to terminate your contract with your agent, in college, you can only be an amateur player, you can't make money from basketball, and your English is a very important issue, you have to work hard in your studies." Liu Mang reminded.
The only thing that NCAA players can't do as well as the CBA is that NCAA players don't earn.
But for Yi Jianlian, this is not a problem!
He is not in a hurry to make money now, as a member of the national team, he goes abroad for further study, and he doesn't need to spend money on his own, as long as the United States does a good job and applies for this kind of thing, Wei Yuanli, who now focuses on the national team and does not pay attention to the CBA at all, in order to get a more powerful national team player, this is not a problem.
Although it has hindered the development of basketball in the country, because of Liu Mang's existence, the World Series record is guaranteed, and for Yi Jianlian, a talented player, the basketball career has a better opportunity.
"Boss Ace, I'll make a phone call to discuss with my parents first." Although not making money for two years is not a big deal for Yi Jianlian, he is still young, in terms of the current situation in China, he is 18 years old, and he is still a child, but he is not in a hurry to come down and go to call.
Liu Mang nodded, he just gave a suggestion, as for how Yi Jianlian should choose, it is his own business.
Looking at the face of the bun who heard the envy of the university next to him, Liu Mang felt that it was really funny, and teased: "Ying, you haven't finished the secondary school, right?" Do you want to continue your studies? ”
Liu Mang remembered that this steamed bun girl seemed to have become popular only after 2011 by acting in a Qiong Yao drama, and she didn't know that there was a number person for many years.
"My family situation is relatively difficult, and I can't continue to study." The bun-faced girl was a little depressed.
"It's okay, I'll lend you money, remember to pay me back when you develop in the future!" Liu Mang emphasized the word 'borrow'.
"Uh......"
The girl with a bun face is a little dizzy, and the NBA big star is still so picky?
But I feel very comfortable in my heart, people are borrowing, not giving money, it is like being chared, or the other party has some bad intentions, I always feel awkward, but if I borrow......
Now I am working on my own to survive? Or overdraft your future money to continue to learn and improve yourself, and strive for a better future?
The bun-faced girl who dropped out of school and worked hard in the society for half a year was more decisive than Yi Jianlian and made a decision quickly.
"Ace, lend me money! I...... I'll definitely give it back to you in the future! I write IOUs! ”
"Uh......"
Seeing the hopeful expression on Baozi's face, Liu Mang was just joking, but he didn't expect the other party to come down, and he didn't expect the other party to be so excited and excited.
But after saying this, Liu Mang is not stingy, just borrow it, lend it to a future big star, and he is not afraid that the other party will repay the debt.
A person who drops out of secondary school to work and succeeds through hard work can fail if he has a better opportunity.
Just invest in it!
……
……
Leisurely time always flies quickly, and after a few days of playing in the imperial capital, Liu Mang boarded a plane to Shanghai to pick up his parents to the United States.
In the past few days, Liu Mang's main thing is to lend out a sum of money, and ask the people from the brokerage company to help the bun face girl find a training school, learn English and basic knowledge, and contact the preparatory class of American universities.
There is a difference between American universities and Chinese universities, Chinese universities are strict in and wide out, American universities are wide in and strict out, and the university connection with the bun face is relatively simple.
On the college side of Yi Jianlian, Liu Mang called Yao Ming, who was in Los Angeles and had not yet returned to China, and Yao Ming was very excited when he heard that Yi Jianlian wanted to play in the NCAA.
Yao Ming, who has played in the United States for three years, knows the NCAA better than Yi Jianlian, and is not at the same level as the CBA.
The owner of the Guangdong team is also a person who loves basketball, and there is a world of difference from Aoshen, I heard that Yi Jianlian is going to a higher basketball hall for further study, although he is reluctant, but he supports it.
Yao Ming took advantage of the fact that he had just joined the Lakers, his contract had not been renewed, and the whole of Los Angeles was currying favor with Yao Ming, so he helped Yi Jianlian contact UCLA and enter UCLA as a special sports enrollment.
The process is actually relatively troublesome, but it was Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian who were busy, and Liu Mang gave the way, and it was Yi Jianlian's own business whether he worked hard or not.
……
When Liu Mang returned to Jiashan, his parents were already ready to take care of their pregnant daughter-in-law, and they were even more active than Liu Mang.
"Mom, why are you buying so many things?" Looking at the big bags of things piled up in the living room, Liu Mang reluctantly checked it, there were no liquids, no metal tools, no living creatures, no forbidden seeds, melons and fruits, etc......
"Well, we have asked Schwartz a long time ago, and we have not brought anything that should not be brought, these are all skin care products for pregnant women and things for children to use in the future." Liu Mang's mother, Tong Xiaoying, looked at Liu Mang's appearance and smiled bitterly.
I didn't feel it when I bought something, but I realized that I had bought so much after I bought it.
Liu Mang's mother herself felt that it was too much, but she bought it all, and she couldn't throw it away.
I bought it, and Liu Mang didn't say anything, just checked it to avoid getting the trouble of customs.
Fortunately, there are certificates from Schwartz and the Blue Association, the NBA, etc., and so on, and it is not a matter of having a little more things, and I am not afraid of being regarded as a smuggler.
Since the family is ready, there is no need for Liu Mang to worry about it.
……
On July 26, Liu Mang took his parents and boarded a direct plane from Shanghai to Los Angeles.
The girl and the bodyguard have already arrived in Los Angeles to wait, and Liu Mang doesn't know why other stars' wives or girlfriends like to come to Los Angeles to raise babies when they are pregnant, anyway, everyone is like that, and he will follow suit.
Before returning to China, Liu Mang had already made an appointment to train in Los Angeles with James, Maddie, Iguodala, Korver and others on August 1.
But unexpectedly, the day after arriving in Los Angeles, when Maddie came to Liu Mang's villa in Los Angeles to find Liu Mang, she also brought a very arrogant No. 8 player.
