Chapter Eighty-Seven: On the Journey to America! (3rd Update)
Since Principal Yang proposed the exchange program, Su Dong and Yilan have been busy.
Ilan was busy sorting things and going through formalities, while Su Dong was diligent in contacting local school accommodations and discussing cooperation with various media and sponsors.
This is the first child of the Luo family to go abroad for further study, stimulated by this, Lao Luo is extremely excited these days, and when he sees people, he wants to mention his competitive son, because in Lao Luo's mind, it is such a glorious thing to be able to study abroad, so that he probably forgot that it was thanks to basketball that Roy could get such an opportunity.
In addition, about the various expenses of this exchange student, it is about 200,000 yuan, and Lao Luo was also distressed for this money at first, and hesitated to take out his life's hard-earned money for Roy to go to the United States for further study.
As an aside, of course, Lao Luo didn't know that the purpose of Roy's trip was to play basketball in the United States.
But Su Dong immediately solved the problem of money, how could Roy be short of money, it is now when he is the most prosperous, don't forget that there are so many sponsors waiting to sign a contract with him.
Under Su Dong's operation, Roy's food, clothing, housing and transportation were all contracted by sponsors, and the exchange condition was Roy's future advertising contract, which was really happy.
By the way, I also want to mention the high school basketball tournament, which was originally the most important thing, how did it become a trivial matter now?
Because, compared to going abroad, compared to learning English, playing basketball is an extremely simple thing for Roy.
There's nothing worth talking about college students beating elementary school students, right?
And Roy played the role of that college student.
In the preliminaries of the Shanghai Division of the National High School Basketball Competition, a total of 5 games in the group stage, Roy handed over a four-double score of 30.6 minutes per game, scoring 35.8 points, 16.4 rebounds, 8.7 assists, 10.9 blocks, 10.2 steals, 74.2% shooting, 52.5% three-point shooting, and 87.8% free throw shooting.
Under Roy's leadership, Ya'an Middle School entered the knockout stage with a crushing momentum, and they can outscore their opponents by more than 25 points per game, and if Roy hadn't taken the initiative to ask for a break every second half, the gap would have been even more staggering.
And Roy, who entered the knockout stage, is even more incredible, with 5 games Roy averaged 35.7 minutes per game, 40.2 points, 16.7 rebounds, 7.2 assists, 11.0 blocks, 12.5 steals, 75.1% shooting, 51.7% three-point shooting, and 88.3% free throw shooting rate. This result, even Westbrook, the NBA's No. 1 data brush, will be ashamed to see it.
With such a superstar, Ya'an Middle School won the division championship without resistance.
In the final, their opponent was the Fuxing High School that had clashed in the friendly match before, but unfortunately, this time the Fuxing High School was completely stupid.
Under the gaze of hundreds of fans of Fuxing High School, Roy single-handedly beat the opponent dumbfounded, and his parents were difficult to recognize, and the final score was 76:34, Roy and his team made the opponent swallow the biggest loss in the history of the team on the turf of Fuxing High School.
By the way, I have to continue to make up for two knives, Roy caused such a tragedy under the attention of a group of media and countless netizens.
The incredible Roy, the incredible game, and the hype of various media outlets, a future super talent player was born.
β¦β¦
"Their reaction is too big, comparing me to China's Kobe and James, I can't stand it like this." Roy flipped through the "Basketball Herald" in his hand and complained to Su Dong beside him.
At this time, Roy, Su Dong, and Elan had already embarked on a journey to the United States.
Their destination is California in the United States.
The western state, famous for its beaches, coasts, bikini beauties and Hollywood studios, is also a basketball mecca, with the famous Los Angeles Lakers located here, as well as this year's NBA champion Golden State Warriors, the Los Angeles Clippers and the Sacramento Kings.
Roy's upcoming Chino Gang High School, located in California, is the champion of this year's new California High School Championship.
Roy, of course, didn't know that he was going to one of the strongest middle schools in American basketball, and at the moment, he was relaxed and drifting in the endless praise of the domestic media.
Su Dong collected a lot of domestic media reports and features for Roy to have boring pastime on the plane, he was not afraid of Roy's pride, on the contrary, he needed Roy to become confident, in the United States, a player's self-confidence is the most important thing for a coach.
"From the time we got on the plane, you don't have to be humble, you have to tell yourself now, I'm the James of China, and you have to show momentum and confidence to compete with those American students."
Su Dong took a sip of coffee and added: "Besides, your treatment is really only enjoyed by James, so many sponsors squeeze their heads to sponsor a high school student, it's really something I will wake up laughing in my dreams." β
"You see, here's an interview with the head coach of the Guangdong South China Tigers." Roy pointed to the newspaper, he remembered Su Dong and his invitation to tryout, and now it seems that it was right not to choose to go to the CBA at that time.
And hearing Lao Du's name, Su Dong and Yilan both came over.
"Guangdong South China Tigers head coach Du Feng said that not signing Roy is a big regret in his coaching career, he had promised to give Roy a rotation player position, but now it seems that he underestimated Roy, he is fully capable of competing for the starting ......"
"There's another article here, which is actually an interview with a high school league player." Roy immediately found a topic of interest in a bunch of newspapers - "Visiting Former Rivals: How Strong Is Roy".
Sports Weekly: The recent red-and-purple Roy has undoubtedly brought attention to high school basketball, and on the topic of how strong Roy is, we interviewed several elite players in high school basketball who have played against him, let's hear their opinions.

βSu Xiaohe (57 Middle School): I watched Roy change from a blank sheet of paper to a big star now, I really can't believe it, it only took more than three months for him to really become a god, but even if the Ya'an Middle School he led fought against us, we must be the ones who have the last laugh......
β Luo Yucheng (Nanhai Model High School): Roy has a lot of offensive means and a high ball quotient, I don't know why he can improve so fast, maybe this is a genius......
βXia Lu (Mingguang Middle School): He's fast, he's a good jumper, he's got a lot of physicality, he's the best guy I've ever seen in high school......
β Mo Xiaoyu (Jiangsu No. 19 Middle School): There is nothing to say, basketball is a five-person project, and I am looking forward to playing against him on the national stage......
βLeng Yihan (Shanghai Oriental Team): Refused to express his opinion......
After reading the report, Roy felt a lot of emotion in his heart, but it was a pity that he couldn't participate in the next city and national competitions, which must be very fun. However, even if you really compare, the result must be clear at a glance, and Roy believes that he is indeed invincible in the world in the domestic arena and in the same age group......
