Chapter 23 Bai Xiaonian who made up the numbers
After lifting the California championship trophy, Bai Xiaonian became the MVP of the championship game and was selected to the 2009 McDonald's All-American Team and EA Sports Team in July.
As early as last year, Bai Xiaonian, who became an ESPN five-star high school student for leading Wellington High School to the top 32 of the First Division, is now a collection of thousands of favors.
His personal phone calls have been blown up by the coaching staff of basketball teams in various colleges and universities in the past few days, and a variety of reward terms have come one after another, among which one of the most exaggerated coaches even used a beauty trick to tell Bai Xiaonian about his daughter's glamorous history for half an hour.
Of course, Bai Xiaonian, who had already agreed to Ben Holland to study at UCLA, politely declined their invitations one by one, and sometimes it is more difficult to refuse, for example, when Coach K of Duke University personally called to invite Bai Xiaonian to join Duke a few days ago, our little white children's shoes basically gritted their teeth and finished their words of decline with tears in their eyes.
Even so, Coach K still encouraged Bai Xiaonian, a talented teenager, a few words, hoping to have the opportunity to work together in the future.
When Bai Xiaonian decided to go to UCLA that day and told Clay the news, this guy breathed a sigh of relief, and finally there would be no more situations like fratricidal fraternity in California.
It's too shocking to be in the same area with Bai Xiaonian for four years, I didn't feel it as a teammate before, but I didn't realize it until I became an opponent, how can a high school student be so powerful, did he start training when he was in his mother's womb?
The long summer vacation after graduating from high school made Bai Xiaonian, who got the offer early, a little boring, and the Poke Arena that he could go to every day before now has no reason to use it anymore, even if no one will refuse him, the little hero of the school, to return to his alma mater.
In the days of waiting for the official admission notice, the basket on the central basketball hoop in the backyard of the Bai family was abused by Bai Xiaonian, an "unemployed youth" who had nothing to do all day, and invited Clay to fight bulls from time to time, and accompanied Emma, who rarely had free time, to watch movies to experience the rare warmth between them.
Fresh graduates who have regained their lives after the Chinese college entrance examination will be like birds yearning for freedom, and they will finally be able to fly around without worry.
This iron law in the United States is no exception, Bai Xiaonian flew back to China alone after receiving the official admission notice from UCLA, and originally wanted to take Emma home to see the great rivers and mountains of China, and even bought a ticket for the two to return to China together, but the plan could not catch up with the changes, and before leaving, Emma was suddenly informed by her agent that she had two important announcements to catch.
So helplessly have lovers parted since ancient times, Bai Xiaonian returned to Yidu alone, and the daily game of Go with Old Man Bai became his only way of entertainment, and suddenly there were more slow tea and chess in his life, which made his young and slightly impetuous heart settle down.
…………
"Cousin, can I ask you something?"
A thin young man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks stood beside Bai Xiaonian and stammered.
"Say, I'll help you where I can." Bai Xiaonian replied helplessly.
This thin young man is the only male in the Bai family's generation except for Bai Xiaonian, his name is Bai Xiaoxing, one year younger than Bai Xiaonian, and he is the son of his uncle.
"Haha, I know that cousin you are a straight person, I know that you played basketball when you were young, and there is a basketball game in our school next week, but one of our team members was suddenly injured, cousin, you came to make up the number temporarily."
Bai Xiaoxing's slightly obscene face because of his thinness, and the small eyes of hope sparkled so that Bai Xiaonian suddenly couldn't resist...
"Okay, okay, don't sell cute, okay? Everything else is easy to say. Bai Xiaonian, who couldn't stand it, agreed to Bai Xiaoxing's request without hesitation.
Looking at Bai Xiaoxing's elated back, Bai Xiaonian muttered to himself:
"Isn't it just a basketball game? Who wouldn't eat and pretend to be dead? ”
It wasn't until the day of the game that Bai Xiaonian found out that he didn't bring his own jersey at all when he returned to China, so he had to casually put on the No. 24 purple and gold jersey of Bai Xiaoxing's idol Kobe Bryant and was hurriedly put on the shelves.
"Silly big man, you look amazing, you won't be scared to find your mother, right?" On the other side, a big man with muscles and wearing O'Neal's No. 32 jersey grinned at Bai Xiaonian.
Indeed, Bai Xiaonian, who is already 188 cm old in China, can be regarded as a standout among high school students, and the center who didn't see the other party was only 191 cm?
"Cousin, don't pay attention to them, just cheer me on off the field in a while, don't be nervous, we can definitely win."
Bai Xiaoxing saw Bai Xiaonian sitting on the side, kept pulling his head and kept silent, thinking that he was nervous and comforted.
"That's it, big brother, you're nervous! Yo? You are? Oh oh oh! Xiaoxing's cousin? It's a shame that I can't play basketball when I'm so tall, but thank you for your willingness to help, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do. ”
A hearty voice came from behind Bai Xiaonian, and what came was a dark-skinned tiger-backed bear waist with a height of nearly 2 meters from the Northeast, and also the captain of Bai Xiaoxing's high school basketball team, whose name was Li Feng, one of the strongest centers in Yidu, known as the Four King Kongs of Yidu.
"Uh... Well, no problem. ”
Bai Xiaonian said weakly, originally he wanted to play and flutter twice, but now he has completely abandoned this idea, it seems that his parents did not tell his relatives in China about continuing to play in the United States.
Today, Bai Xiaonian joined a Yidu municipal high school basketball game by mistake, and Bai Xiaoxing's Yidu No. 7 Middle School faced the incoming Yidu No. 4 Middle School, if the level of this game is placed in the United States, it is about equal to the California Third Division League that Bai Xiaochu participated in, but if you talk about the level of players, it is far from the same level league in California.
So not only was the game played on the school's plastic open-air court, but there was not even a professional electronic timer.
Bai Xiaonian was bored playing with his mobile phone off the field and glanced at the field from time to time, the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game in the middle circle, and the captain Li Feng easily took the ball off and brought it to the front court by Bai Xiaoxing.
And a few members of the seventh middle school walked leisurely to their defensive positions and stood like wooden stakes.
Off the field, Bai Xiaonian looked at Bai Xiaoxing, who was helpless by the opponent on the outside, and shook his head again and again, his cousin's level is not as good as the substitute of the turkey team, if he is replaced to hold the ball, this player who defends Bai Xiaoxing is estimated to have been terminated hundreds of times.
In the end, the attack also ended in failure with Bai Xiaoxing's strong three-point shot.
Although the two sides on the court played a back and forth, in Bai Xiaonian's eyes, it was completely rookies pecking each other, and the meaningless running and passive defense made him roll his eyes, I used to know that there was a big gap between Chinese and American basketball, but I didn't expect the gap to be so big.
You must know that Bai Xiaonian's California Division I League I in Wellington High School can basically be regarded as a quasi-professional level.
Originally, after watching Li Fengyi's strong performance at the beginning, Bai Xiaonian, who thought that he could lie down on the bench, found that the situation on the court was gradually getting worse.
In the No. 7 middle school basketball team, except for Li Feng, who is a little level, all the players, including Bai Xiaoxing, are below average, and the defense is passive and the offense is weak, which causes Li Feng to be alone on the inside, and the score difference between the two sides is slowly widened.
