Chapter 197: Bear Infested
Wei Ning and Roland walked on the campus of Carola High School, Wei Ning, who was a thief, looked around, as if he was afraid that one would suddenly jump out and take a brick to hack him, Roland was inexplicable and asked, "Haven't you been here once?" Why do you enter the Grand View Garden like a grandmother Liu? β
Wei Ning had a calm face, looked at the students around him vigilantly, and replied casually: "Be careful, be careful to make a ship of ten thousand years." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
"What a thing!" Roland tugged Wei Ning's arm, but where could she twist Wei Ning's tense muscles all over her body, Wei Ning shook his hand and said strangely: "What are you doing?" β
"Nerves!" Roland knew that Wei Ning's stupidity came up, and he stepped forward alone, but Wei Ning took a quick step, chased after him and asked, "Is it really okay to go to the stadium like this?" β
Roland snorted and replied, "Didn't you say that the matter of the contract has been settled?" So what else do you think is wrong? β
Back yesterday morning, the coach made a transatlantic phone call to him, telling him that the contract had been settled, and the compensation was 50,000 yuan, and the coach said that he would pay it in advance first, and it would not be too late to pay him back when he had money in the future. Wei Ning, who got the news, did not hear the tiredness in the coach's tone, and the problem that had been pressing on his heart all day was solved, and after patting his chest and promising to repay the money as soon as possible, Wei Ning couldn't wait to hang up the phone, called Roland, and then told her the news that he was willing to join Carola High School.
Roland on the other side was also very excited, and she said on the phone that she would immediately contact Coach Ludry and let Wei Ning join the team as soon as possible. After the call, Wei Ning still couldn't sit down, so he dialed Yan Yufeng's phone again and agreed to meet at Maple Bay Stadium in the afternoon.
In the evening, the two met again on the court, Yan Yufeng, who had not been heads-up for a few days, proposed to have a heads-up first, perhaps because he was too excited, Wei Ning's hand this time was wonderful, and he exploded one after another, and he actually won this heads-up this time incredible.
Yan Yufeng, who was a little distracted, looked at Wei Ning and said: If you have such a feeling every day, where can't you go?
As night fell, the two sat in the stands and chatted.
Wei Ning told Yan Yufeng about the termination, and the latter was quite surprised, but since it had been confirmed, he didn't say much, and at the same time was happy for Wei Ning.
Wei Ning asked Yan Yufeng: "Next, what should I do?" β
Yan Yufeng understands Wei Ning's hesitation at the moment, and if he wants to enter a new environment, there are still disputes and contradictions, which is really worrying. At the same time, after learning about the termination fee paid by the coach, Yan Yufeng also reminded Wei Ning of the predicament he needs to face now.
Yan Yufeng gave three points: 1. How to integrate into the team; 2. How to show personal value as quickly as possible; 3. How to gain a firm foothold and obtain proportional economic value.
The first point, Wei Ning can still understand, the second and third make Wei Ning feel confused, Yan Yufeng explained: "The prosecution is a chain reaction. The team's positioning of you, that is, the expectation value, is the so-called personal value. If you reach or even exceed, then you can stand firm. The so-called main lineup. You can't expect a bench to be of much value on the team, and for the rules of basketball, a lot of the time, it's brutal. β
"Even if it's a starter, it's really defined by the time it gets played, and if a starter doesn't play more than 20 minutes, then the value of the start to the team will be questioned. And you can also speculate on what level of your position is in the mind of the coach. β
"It can be said that the players who have played the most minutes are the top one or two in the manager's mind, not absolutely, but not far from ten. In a high school game, the two halves are 40 minutes in total, and if you have 25-30 minutes of playing time per game, it means that your position is quite solid, and you can even use the core as a metaphor. β
And the third point is here. Assuming that you are the core of the team, then the resources of the whole team will undoubtedly be tilted towards you, although the situation of each school is different, but it is similar, and there is quite a lot of sponsorship, that is, scholarships. Basketball, football, baseball, ice hockey, in the big four leagues in the United States, in high school, basketball is considered the top three levels of attention, because of the problem of facilities, it can even reach the first level. And the school's scholarship is naturally divided according to this degree of attention. β
"And as a core player, the scholarship is definitely going to fall on your head, and even in the case of good results, the sponsor will specifically require this division to be implemented on your head. This means that you can get more dollars than the rest of the team. β
After analyzing the information that Yan Yufeng got from his daily chats with Jimmy in one breath, as well as the information under his own analysis, Wei Ning listened to it at that time.
Wei Ning didn't expect that playing in an American high school would have so many benefits. Thinking that a large amount of banknotes would fall on his head in the future, Wei Ning was suddenly full of fighting spirit.
Then he confidently proposed, one more heads-up, to help the glory of tomorrow.
Yan Yufeng, who had already been murderous, didn't let Wei Ning have any chance to regret at all, and got off the court with a basketball.
This time, Wei Ning was directly stunned.
It seems that the moment he got off the field, Yan Yufeng adjusted himself and entered the super god mode, whether it was a back hit or a pass, as well as a freshly baked step-back shot, there was no exception to the god-like existence.
Watching Yan Yufeng throw the last ball in, Wei Ning realized that he hadn't scored a point yet.
Wei Ning, who was hiding his face and squatting on the ground, asked Yan Yufeng: "Have you been letting me before?" β
Yan Yufeng snorted, and said without giving any face: "It's just that you are too stupid and naΓ―ve!" β
After this tidbit, Wei Ning, who floated to the sky, landed again, and few of them were not the first to leave, but after Yan Yufeng left, he still stayed on the court and practiced shooting.
"Hey, what are you doing? Distracted again! Roland's pull brought Wei Ning back to reality, he looked up and saw that he had come to the gate of the stadium, and he had met before, and the second team coach Santos was standing at the door, looking like he was waiting for them.
"Coach!" Roland first greeted Santos sweetly, and then pinched Wei Ning's back without a trace, and Wei Ning, who had reacted, woke up like a dream, stepped forward and stretched out his hand to say hello to Santos.
"My name is Wei Ning, just call me Wei!" Although Wei Ning stood at the foot of the steps, he still looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with eye level.
Santos looked at Wei Ning with satisfaction, and felt the boy's physical fitness again, he shook Wei Ning's outstretched hand, and unexpectedly not only felt Wei Ning's strength, but also felt that this palm was delicate.
This made Santos, who has many years of training experience, look forward to Wei Ning even more, he let go of his hand and said with a smile: "Do you have an English name now?" β
"Not yet!" Wei Ning replied succinctly, this was told by Roland in advance, when you get to the team, you can make fewer mistakes if you talk less.
"Well, why don't you call you David?" Santos thought it was a good idea.
Although he was a little reluctant, Wei Ning didn't want to dwell on such a problem, so he nodded and said, "It's pretty good." β
"Okay, everyone's training inside, it's a good day, come in!" Santos led the way and led the two into the arena.
Walking into the stadium, after walking through a long corridor, the faint sound of basketball hitting the ground and the sound of yo from time to time became clearer and clearer, pushing open a glass door, Wei Ning suddenly felt that his eyes suddenly opened up.
The entrance is a circular arena, which is different from the American high school basketball hall, not only with stands on the left and right sides of the court, but also two seemingly movable stands in the upper and lower corners. The four stands are linked together, giving the whole stadium the momentum of a professional stadium.
Wei Ning compared it with his alma mater, Chunsi Middle School, and felt that it was not only bigger, but also a little more upscale in terms of lighting, the specifications of the zenith, and the large long cloth of honor attached to the wall.
Seeing that Wei Ning was still looking around, Roland touched Wei Ning, Wei Ning retracted his gaze and saw that there were already players watching him on the court.
Today is a cloudy day, the weather is cold, the first and second teams of Carola High School basketball are training here, plus the uniform group, more than 30 people are scattered all over the court, it is a bit noisy.
didn't summon the whole team as imagined, and then introduce Wei Ning, but Santos patted Wei Ning's shoulder lightly and said, "Go over there, change your jersey, and then warm up first." β
Wei Ning was a little confused, he acted according to the plan, followed the direction pointed by Santos just now, and walked to the side of a short boy who looked to be slightly younger than himself, and before he could speak, the boy said, "Hey, new here?" My name is Ron, I'm the first team's uniform assistant, and you'll need to change your clothes in the future, I mean, not only the jersey, you can just give it to me! β
Wei Ning looked at this small-eyed and freckled young man, and muttered in his heart: There is still such a good thing? It seems that international residential high schools are different. Thinking that he would have to show off to Yan Yufeng in the future, Ron saw that this big man seemed to be distracted, and thought that he couldn't speak English, so he said briefly: "I am in charge of cleaning the team's clothes, please come with me to get your jersey." β
"Well, okay, okay! Thank you! Wei Ning hurriedly said, and Ron saw that Wei Ning understood, so he turned around and led Wei Ning into the corridor between the two stands.
Turning a corner, Wei Ning followed Ron to the end of the corridor, pushed the door and looked, there was a lot of space inside, and there were wardrobes lined up against the wall, and the top of the wardrobe was pasted with a number, and Ron pointed to the side, that is, a wardrobe at the door, and said, "This is yours!" β
Wei Ning immediately poked his head to see that there was 34 on it, and he couldn't help asking, "What, is No. 34 mine?" β
Ron rolled his eyes, with an expression that he had long known that you were going to ask, and said, "Such a fun thing of choosing numbers will always belong to our great Ludry head coach, I am mortals, and I am not qualified!" β
Wei Ning Khan came out, thinking that such a thing should not be a joke, and glanced at No. 34 on the wardrobe again, and comforted himself: This number is okay, many celebrities have worn it, don't wronged me, don't wronged me.
Ron handed over a cabinet key and said, "One for each person, if you lose it, ask me for it." I only have a spare one here. Please keep it safe! β
"Okay!" After taking the key, Wei Ning took the key and inserted it, but found that he couldn't unscrew it, Ron reached out and grabbed Wei Ning, who was a head and a half taller than him, and said, "First twist half a circle on the left, then push it inside, and then twist it to half a circle on the right!" β
"So complicated?" Wei Ning was quite surprised, and Ron explained: "In the past, the cabinets were very simple structures, but later there were players who lost their items, so the wardrobe was updated, and the locks were more complicated. In this way, in this way, it is difficult to open except with a key, unless it is a locksmith. β
"And thieves?" Wei Ning frowned, in Changchun before, everyone's wardrobe would not be locked at all, but things were never lost.
"Okay, the jersey has long been placed in the cupboard, you can change it, I'll go out first." Ron obviously didn't want to talk about this topic more, so he left Wei Ning and walked out first.
Wei Ning had already opened the cabinet, and there were five pieces of different colors hanging inside, one yellow and black, one red and black, and three blue and black, orange and black, white and black. The bottom compartment also houses two pairs of Nike sneakers. He was immediately happy, sat down happily, and was about to change his shoes.
Is it all mine? Wei Ning couldn't believe it, and then he confirmed that there was such a good thing, Wei Ning suddenly felt like a little daughter-in-law who married into a wealthy family, and he was happy in his heart.
"Fit, this service is considerate, clothes, also fit, tsk!" The brand-new Wei Ning found that after the wardrobe door was opened, it was still a long mirror, and he couldn't help but admire it in the mirror.
"Okay, no?" Roland suddenly appeared at the door, she knocked on the door, startling Wei Ning, he hugged himself with his hands in a panic, only to realize that he was dressed, and then put it down.
"Isn't this the men's locker room?" He asked.
"It's okay, it's a bit imposing!" Roland looked up and down without hearing it, and then said: "I'm going to let you warm up first, and then there will be some items to test you, you have to be ready!" β
"Ugh!" Wei Ning immediately thought of Yan Yufeng's advice before coming, saying that everyone who went to the team for the first time had to test it, and also said a few possible tests.
Of those few, Wei Ning didn't have any bottom, so he couldn't help but feel weak when he heard the words.
After being with Wei Ning for so long, Roland immediately felt it, blinked his beautiful eyes, and comforted: "I told the coach about your situation, you only came into contact with basketball a year ago, and your basic skills are very poor, so in this test, the coach just wants the players to understand your characteristics." β
"That's it!" Wei Ning's heart relaxed, but he immediately became depressed again, there is nothing more depressing than being said to be useless by someone he likes.
The two arrived at the stadium one after the other, and Santos had been waiting there for a long time, and he smiled as he looked at the red and black jersey in the home color, and said that he had chosen it by chance.
There's a little secret in Carola that only a few people know, and when the new players choose their own jerseys, it's actually the first test. If you choose away and home, there will be different test conclusions.
Roland is not part of this small range either, but it is customary to wear a home shirt as a rule, but only if you know which home and away you are. You know, so far, the color selection of Carola High School is chaotic, in addition to these two colors, there are three spare, no one knows which is the home color, many people are speculating, but Coach Ludry never answered positively.
At this time, Ludry was hiding in a room on the top floor of the stadium, looking at the stadium through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, with binoculars next to the window, and a huge monitor next to it, with four small screens showing pictures from all angles of the stadium.
"Today's test is what I racked my brains to come up with, perform well, give these boys a little color, I have paved the way, it's up to you." Ludry muttered to himself and watched Wei Ning, who stepped onto the field, majestic and majestic. (To be continued.) )
