Not everyone can be like Kobe, who has had a father who played in the NBA since he was a child, and has a good upbringing and living environment since he was a child. Since childhood, he has been inseparable from the sport of basketball.

In fact, in the NBA and NCAA leagues, most players did not have a good childhood and living environment. Crime, drugs and death are often the things they have to face every day.

Westbrook, a current Thunder potential rookie, was also born in Long Beach, where he grew up in a neighborhood full of drugs and crime. If it weren't for the misfortune of his best friend, Westbrook might not have known for the rest of his life how disastrous such a neighborhood would be, and he would probably not be able to become a rising star in the NBA if he threw himself into basketball without being stimulated.

This year, he was invited by many basketball schools to join the NCAA's talented No. 1 high school student. Wall, who also robbed and stole in slums full of crime and death, was forced to transfer schools in his junior year of high school. At that time, Wall was only one step away from street gangsters. If his mother hadn't caught up with what he was doing and stopped it, Wall wouldn't have been one of the highest-profile college players this summer.

And now, this guy sitting in front of Harpy is a little different. Because he just robbed a scout who was looking for him. The most dramatic thing is that this scout also found his home.

"Listen to the fat man, if you dare to rob in front of my mother later, I'm not polite to you!" In between his mother's going to the kitchen to prepare coffee, Yiyang, the fierce Asian boy, once again threatens Harpy, who comes to the door.

Harpy looked at Yiyang expressionlessly, if it weren't for his coach saying that he was a basketball genius, Harpy might have called the police and sent such a bad boy to prison. But Harpy didn't expect much from Yiyang, a guy who hangs outside with a knife all day long, robbing innocent passers-by everywhere, is it really possible to be a good basketball player? If he was, he should be training on the basketball court now, not robbing in the streets! What's more, Yiyang is still a fake Asian!

It's not that Harpy has racist sentiments, but can an Asian who is only 1.9 meters tall really gain a foothold in the NCAA? This, he had to doubt. Everyone will have a time to look away, even the Kwamei hand-picked by Jordan back then. Brown has become one of the most famous parallel players in NBA history. What's more, Harpy's coach is not Jordan yet.

"Sir, I've kept you waiting. This is my freshly ground coffee, it's not a good coffee bean, and I hope you can get used to it. While Yiyang and Harpy looked at each other, Yiyang's mother walked into the living room with a cup of coffee.

"Thank you, ma'am, for the trouble." Harpy took the coffee, and to his amazement that the mother knew so much etiquette, that her child should not be so naughty. But look at the conditions and environment of this family, the dilapidated furniture, the cramped small house...... Poverty may be the culprit that led Yiyang astray.

"Mr. Harpy, you just said you were a teacher at school...... It's Yiyang...... Did he do anything at school again? Yiyang's mother sat next to her son, her eyes full of concern.

Yiyang also stared at Harpy, he thought that this guy had come back to his house to ask for money.

"Actually, ma'am. I'm not a teacher at your son's high school school, I'm a scout for the Butler University basketball team. I'm here today to hope he can come to the Butler University basketball team tryout. If your son passes the test, we offer him a full basketball scholarship to attend Butler University and a chance to compete in the NCAA Division I! Harpy said, pulling out a file. All the details are written on the paper.

Yiyang's mother looked at the documents with a surprised expression, and then at her son.

"I don't quite understand sir...... Butler University ...... NCAA Division I ...... "Yiyang's mother couldn't believe that her son could be treated like this.

Although Butler University is not a well-known basketball school, as long as there is a school that extends an olive branch to Yiyang, Yiyang's mother is surprised enough. Because she knows very well that her son has never been a good child with excellent character and learning. Causing trouble, confronting teachers at school, and fighting with others are all commonplace for Yiyang.

So Yiyang went to college, this mother couldn't think of it before. Yiyang can graduate from high school safely, she has to thank God.

"Thank you, Mr. Harpy, but we're not going. I don't want to be the yellow-skinned sign of your school, sitting on the bench with a scholarship. I've seen a lot of this kind of thing. The politically correct one doesn't have to be used on me. College is not for me, and I don't need you! Before his mother could respond, Yiyang decisively rejected Harpy's invitation.

Tepid schools like Butler University choose to recruit themselves with a full scholarship, most likely not because the school really values their own strength, but because they need a news to stimulate the media and make some topics to enhance the popularity of their school. They need a yellow-skinned guy to tell everybody, "Look, our school isn't racist." Even though our yellow-skinned guy can't play, we still like him. ”

To put it bluntly, Yiyang thinks that if he goes there, he will only become a mascot who will be made fun of. When he was in high school, Yiyang had already experienced enough of the various accidents brought to him by his skin color. He didn't want to go to those goddamn schools and put up with the stares of the damn guys.

Harpy simply put away the papers and put them in his briefcase. He didn't treat Yiyang very well, so he happened to have one less thing to do. The Wood District of Long Beach, he'll never come to a damn place like this again!

"Thank you for your coffee, ma'am." Before leaving, Harpy did not forget to smile at Yiyang's mother.

"Sir......" Before his mother could keep him, Yiyang followed Harpy and closed the door.

"Let him go, Mom, let's not advertise for others. After graduating from high school, I went to work at the auto repair shop that Allen told me, and I could still make some money a month. In a few years, we'll open a little shop again, and then leave this hellish place forever! Yiyang helped his mother back and sat on the sofa, what a damn college scout, it's all an American trick!

Yiyang, who has lived in the slums since he was a child, is not a stupid boy, he competed in the NCAA and then entered the NBA logically, and finally won the championship and signed a contract of 10 million yuan to reach the peak of his life?

Please, that's just a dream story. Yiyang loves basketball very much, which is almost the most passionate thing in his life. He also fantasized more than once that he could make a living from basketball. But the reality ...... Often more cruel than dreams!

Broken families, thin mothers, poverty, crime...... These things will tie Yiyang's hands and feet. Basketball? Let's keep this thing in a beautiful fantasy.

※※※

Harpy walked into the airport angrily, he bought a ticket that was closest to the current time, and planned to fly directly back to Indianapolis. This guy has recruited hundreds of student players for Butler University, but none of them are as infuriating as Yiyang is today.

That "genius" first robbed himself, and also showed great disrespect to himself at home. Even if this kind of guy really has the strength, he will stir up the team's locker room into a pot of porridge.

And the most important point is that Harpy has never watched Yiyang play before. He came to the damn ghetto of Long Beach because of the coach's instructions.

As soon as Harpy, who flew back to Indianapolis overnight, landed on the ground, he immediately called the team manager to report on his work. He really couldn't wait to tell his manager about this "wonderful" experience.

"Hey, Harpy, did you bring that kid back?" As soon as the phone was connected, a man's impatient inquiry came over.

"That kid probably won't come to Stevens, probably never!" Harpy began to shout loudly, and it was obvious that there was emotion.

"What's up man? Got stuck? ”

"I was first robbed by your "genius", and then humiliated by him in his house. I've never seen such a difficult child, and I advise you to dispel that idea, Stevens. I think we still have to focus on Gordon. Hayward, don't waste any more time. Harpy used the word "difficult to train" on the phone, which shows how much he dislikes Yiyang.

"Oh? It seems that this guy has more personality than I thought. Far from being disappointed, the manager laughed on the phone, as if it had all been expected by him.

"What do you really like about that little thug? Asian defenders? I know that Harvard came out with a guy named Jeremy. Lin's guy, but you have to believe that there may only be one Jeremy in this world. Forest! ”

"Okay Harpy, don't get excited. I'm going to send you a few videos now, and I'm sure you'll change your mind about that kid after you see them. Anyway, Harpy, we'll have to talk to each other tomorrow, and then we'll talk about whether or not we're going to recruit that kid anymore. ”

Harpy didn't know what made the team's coach Stevens so obsessed with the kid, and indeed, Harpy could tell that Yiyang had a strong body and an outstanding arm span. But basketball is not something that can be played well with just these two things.

Eager to return home, Harpy didn't even go to his room to greet his sleeping wife, but immediately turned on his computer and received the video from Stevens.

Harpy clicked on one of the video files, and the computer screen was immediately "occupied" by a basketball court.

In the picture, a team wearing white jerseys is playing at home. This team doesn't even know Happi, a professional scout, and can only say that this high school is too unpopular. But there is no doubt that he sees Yiyang in the team's starting lineup.

As for the other side playing away in a green shirt, Hapik is quite familiar. Voice of God Academy, they have a talented point guard who was chased by seven basketball schools this summer, and is likely to be frantically surrounded by several NBA teams next summer. Wall!

Yiyang vs. Wall? It's still a battle of heads-up. The video sent by Stevens immediately aroused Harpy's interest.

On the computer screen, the game has begun. Harpy let go of all his unhappiness and watched the game intently.

“Holy，shit！” Harpy, who was watching the video of the game on the computer screen, couldn't help but let out an exclamation of exclamation, his expression became more serious, and the video sent by Stevens seemed to give Harpy a new world.

I wonder if he yelled because of Wall, or because of the Asian guard who made him angry? What kind of performance would make this scout, who was already exhausted after a long day on the road, so excited?

Harpy leaned his face close to the screen, as if that would allow him to penetrate the scene. The fat scout had only the back of the No. 1 defender in his eyes......
