"How's James' stats?" Hougist asked.

Joseph picked up the technical statistics table and looked at it, "It's not bad, 11 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, and a 100% shooting rate." The efficiency value is super high! ”

Haugist looked at Harris: "Originally, these statistics could be yours, your physical talent and technique are much better than James, but your mentality is too poor, it's a pity." ”

After speaking, Haugist sat down next to Harris, put his arm on his shoulders and continued to preach: "People, you still have to be optimistic, do your best to obey the destiny of God, just like today's game, there is 1% hope and 100% effort, although 99% are desperate, but what if you catch up with the 1%?" Isn't that just a win? If you look at my stats, it's less than 30 points, more than 10 assists, Devin scores much higher than me, and Joseph's stats are almost catching up with me, so you have to believe in your own ability, and you can win without me. ”

"But you're winning the ball by playing a scoundrel! In the end, don't you still rely on your defense to open the matchless! Harris wasn't very convinced of Hougist.

"What is this called! I didn't steal or block on the defensive end, and I paid for several fouls! I just used this little trick to make them play slower, and they also played the positional battle lineup later, but unfortunately the two lineups couldn't beat us head-to-head. Haugist spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders, an expression of concern for me.

"Okay, even if you're justified, I'll adjust my mentality in the end." Harris offered to extend his hand to reconcile.

Hoggist high-fived him as a sign of mutual understanding. Coach Dick also stood up and said: "We are already a championship team, we must have a championship background, we have a wealth of tactics, although not everyone is physically strong, but everyone has excellent tactical execution, there are Haugist and Joseph, the one-and-a-half-field commanders, they can clearly observe the opponent's defensive loopholes on the field, with them to direct the attack, you can play with ease even if you don't have a physical advantage, and you don't need to play too many single-handedness in the state." And that's the only way for scouts from the universities to see that each of you can make a difference on the field. Do you want universities to think that Hoggist is carrying this bad team alone? Are you willing to watch universities rush to give Hougist full scholarships and you have no one to do it? ”

Haugess nodded, "I forcibly carried the finals last semester to enhance the school's national popularity, and the attention of various universities to our school has increased this semester, and now letting you play more is also for you to be able to enter the eyes of various universities." ”

Only then did everyone understand Haugist's good intentions. Harris hurriedly apologized to Haugist: "Boss, I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to pay so much for us." ”

"Everyone is a brother of Harbin Beer together, and I will definitely help you if I can help you! You don't have to be polite, you guys are playing at a high level and playing brilliantly is the biggest reward for me! Hougist patted Harris on the shoulder.

"A Chinese, without self-interested motives, took the basketball career of the American people as his own, and led American high school students to help them get into better colleges. What kind of spirit is this? This is the spirit of internationalism, this is the spirit of communism, and every member of the Communist Party of the United States must learn this spirit. Joseph suddenly began to chant.

Everyone was confused, and Hoggist smiled: "How can they understand this kind of serious joke in Chinese classics!" ”

Randolph was not convinced, "Who said that none of us understand? I knew very well that this was the great leader of China, Chairman Mao, in honor of the Canadian physician Norman. A memorial article written by Bethune at the time! ”

"Hey, there are really masters! How do you know? Hougist asked in surprise.

"Hey, hey!" Randolph smiled mysteriously, took out a black-covered pamphlet from his bag and shook it in front of everyone.

"What do you have to show off with a Bible, I have it in my bag!" James interjected, after all, Americans are more Christians, and many people will wear a pocket Bible in their carry-on luggage in order to seek spiritual communication and confession with the Lord at any time.

"Christianity? Who believes that! See what it is! Randolph threw the pamphlet to James, who took it and looked at it carefully, the cover had two lines in Chinese and English, Chinese James could not read, and English wrote "Mao's Selected Works".

"Mao's anthology? Who is Mao? James asked curiously.

"Chairman Mao is China's George. Washington! It was he who founded what is now China. Not only that, but he was also a great writer and poet! Randolph said.

Hoggist and Joseph looked at each other from the sidelines, unaware that there was a fan of the chairman lurking in the team.

"Awesome!" The crowd exclaimed.

"Look at you not showing the mountains and water, I didn't expect that you are still a senior chairman fan, and I usually haven't seen you show Chinese!" Hoggist said.

"yes, I don't speak Chinese. In Chinese, I only know the 5 characters 'Mao Zedong's Selected Works'. Randolph said.

"If you don't know Chinese characters, do you read "Mao Xuan"? Do you read the illustrations? Joseph looked at Randolph with a stunned expression.

"There's an English version!" Randolph looked at Joseph even more in surprise, "What's so strange about that?" ”

"But those poems translated into English not only do not rhyme, but also lose their mood!" Hogist questioned from the side.

"What? Are you saying that the original text is more meaningful than the translation? This time Randolph was really surprised, "I feel amazing when I look at the translation, the original text is even more beautiful?" ”

"This is the charm of Chinese! Learn more! Joseph said proudly in Chinese. Seeing that Randolph did not react, he spoke again in English.

Randolph turned his head to Haugist's side and smiled lewdly: "Boss, I'm here to sign up for the Chinese elective course, I know this course is particularly popular in school, I'll ask you to open the back door and add a stopper?" ”

"Good! When I arrange for you to sit in the middle of the classroom, let the whole class surround you, and learn Chinese and pick up girls, isn't it beautiful? Hougist teased.

After waiting for nearly an hour, the home fans finally dispersed, and the security personnel escorted them to the bus. Everyone tossed around all afternoon, and not long after the car drove out of the school gate, everyone staggered and fell asleep.

……

Early on Sunday morning, Hoggist got up long before the sun rose, and he was going to go to the small court for morning exercise, but a series of Twitter messages on his phone stopped Hoggist's footsteps, "Sure enough, a lot of people scolded me!" ”

Horgist browsed the tweets that sprayed him one by one, and he didn't get angry, just reported the tweeters who scolded him one by one, and then pulled them into the blacklist. Most of the people who sprayed him were middle school students, and most of them were Clark High School students. Among the many insults, Hougist also saw a lot of remarks in support of him, among which the tweet of the Spurs' official Twitter account attracted the attention of Hoggist, and the Spurs' official Twitter posted a photo of Ginobili's game, with a line of text underneath: "Speaking of playing little tricks, you should learn from Manu." You're always welcome to visit San Antonio, and Coyote (Coyote, the Spurs mascot) will be on hand around the clock! ”

Hogist stared at the tweet for a long time, seriously thinking about the Spurs' intentions. Invite me to the Holy City? Are they recruiting me? No, I'm only a freshman in high school, and it's still early before the draft, what's the use of me agreeing? Wouldn't it be embarrassing for both parties if I had any serious injuries and they didn't need me anymore, or if I couldn't play basketball at all? If I play my name and enter the little green house by then, the Spurs will not be able to pick my signing! I really don't understand what Spurs official means.

Hoggist thought about it again and again, intending to test the true intentions of the Spurs official, so he half-jokingly replied: "Is the round-trip travel fee reimbursed?" ”

After waiting for a while, but not receiving a reply, Horgist glanced at the time, maybe it's not time to go to work yet, let's talk about it when I come back! So Hoggist threw down his phone, picked up the basketball, and went out for morning exercise.

When the warm spring sun was a little bright in the sky, Hoggist finished his morning shooting practice. Dragging a slightly tired body back home, Hougist checked his phone while enjoying a delicious breakfast, and the Spurs official tweeted that he had already replied to himself: "Don't dream, unless you participate in this year's Spurs summer training camp!" ”

Not only can I be reimbursed for my travel expenses, but I am also invited to participate in a summer camp? Hougist was even more confused, why would the Spurs suddenly be so interested in him? Horgist looked at the Spurs' lineup, indeed, he is confident that he is better than anyone else except GDP in the draft, but there are at least four and a half years left before his draft, and no one can say what will happen in four and a half years, maybe the Spurs can make some treasures in the low pick, or make some gains in the trade market, or catch something in the free agent market, why put hope on yourself? Haugist is really incomprehensible.

But since it's free, no matter what his plot is! If you don't take advantage of it, you will suffer a loss! I should come down first, and when the time comes, the soldiers will come to block, and the water will come to the earth, and I will adapt to the situation! Thinking of this, Hoggist replied, "Okay! Count me in on the bootcamp! ”

The Spurs official tweeted and instantly replied to the message: "Web link, this is the registration URL for the internal quota of the training camp, as long as you fill in the registration information, we will send you the ticket and tickets at that time." Looking forward to seeing you there. ”

After thanking him, Hougist closed Twitter and sent a text message to tell Qiu Jingli about it, and Qiu Jingli was also very curious, aren't the newcomers generally high school graduates or college players who have announced their candidacy? How could the Spurs hit a high school freshman with wishful thinking. However, when he heard that Hoggist accepted the invitation with a taking advantage of the invitation, Qiu Jingli still laughed for a long time.

……

Since knowing the good intentions of Hogist, everyone has trained harder, especially several fresh graduates, who have worked very hard, seizing every minute and every second of the opportunity to play and try their best to show themselves. Devin's 30+10 per game stats almost overshadow Hougist's limelight, and Georgetown University, the University of Houston and UCLA are said to have given away scholarships one after another. And the Spartans won all the way to the group stage with easy consecutive wins. In the last game of the group stage, James even brushed up a big double-double of 30 points and 15 rebounds.

Cimaren Memorial Middle School and Clark Middle School entered the quarterfinals as the top two teams in the group, and the Spartans still made it all the way to the finals, but the Tornado team lost in the semifinals to the little-known Renault High School, whose star is named Patrick. McCaw, 6 feet 4 inches tall and weighing 170 pounds, plays as a small forward on the court. He was born on October 25, 1995, and is also a freshman in high school this year.

This McCaw did in the semifinals like Hoggist in the final moments of last semester's finals, as he burst out on the court and scored 73 points to almost single-handedly beat the Tornadoes. McCaw's emergence has once again raised the suspense of the state championship and MVP this semester, and many people believe that McCaw will be a fierce rival for Howgist's high school career in the next few years.

Just when everyone was arguing about who was stronger Horgist or McCaw, the atmosphere in the Spartans team was unusually relaxed, and the unexpected exit of the rival Clark High School made them happy for a long time, what they were most afraid of was the opponent who had a lot of blooming as a whole, and they didn't care about this kind of single-core team at all, especially this single-core is still a No. 3 position, which is completely within the defensive range of Hougist, and there are defensive titans like Hougist who will freeze McCaw, and the other players in Renault Middle School can't make any waves at all.

Relative to what others are looking forward to for the finals, Hoggist has focused more on the Spurs' summer training camp. Just a week before the finals, Hoggist had already received official Spurs airline tickets and training camp tickets, and he was puzzled that the mailing department was the Spurs' scouting department and not the promotion department. Are the Spurs really trying me out like a rookie? This question often comes to the back of his mind these days.

Qiu Jingli persuaded him a few times, so that he didn't have to care too much, the Spurs are not a bunch of crazy people, and it is absolutely impossible for him to try out with a group of adults as a freshman in high school. Hoggist understands this, but he is even more confused about what the Spurs are aiming for.
