142. Rejection and coincidence
One hundred and forty-two refusals and coincidences
As time went by, on the campus of Cruz High School, the popularity of Yan Yufeng's streetball video quickly decreased, but after a week, it seemed that everyone had returned to the original point of attitude, except for those close to him, Yan Yufeng walked on the campus and felt leisurely and relaxed again.
Regarding the suspense of the leaker, there was already an answer on the same day, and Yan Yufeng's speculation was not wrong, the leaker was officially Wacho's half-brother Mick.
After Lin Na left, Yan Yufeng called Robbie again and told him that someone had leaked his body, but he didn't want to interfere for the time being.
Yan Yufeng's purpose in coming to the United States is to chase his dreams, coupled with his own injury, he feels that no moment or second can be wasted, for after experiencing the emotional entanglement of Su Xue, Qin Lan, and Yan, as Yan Yufeng, who is about to enter the age of 17, he undoubtedly has confirmation of Lin Na's enthusiasm.
And how to get rid of it is exactly what Yan Yufeng wants to hope for, and now taking this opportunity to keep Lin Na away from him is not a good way to make a move.
And Lin Na was really frightened, even if she was a prominent figure on campus, she was not a member of society after all, and in the face of the gangster culture with a long history and bloody history in the United States, anyone would avoid it.
When the bell rang for the third class in the morning, Linna reappeared outside Yan Yufeng's classroom, along with four other people, Wattyo, Mick, Lewis and his buddy Cole.
When Yan Yufeng saw this scene, he naturally knew that Lin Na was indeed frightened, and when he looked at Lin Na's face like frost, and looked at him with an obvious evasive look, Yan Yufeng felt a strange emotion in his heart. But soon, he suppressed his emotions, and after waving his hand and signaling to Hannold, who had questions and whether he needed help, that he didn't need it, Yan Yufeng picked up his backpack and walked out of the classroom.
Lewis first greeted with a smile: "Hi, Yan, long time no see, I haven't thanked you for your help last time, do you have time to go to the Spitfire years for a drink?" ”
Spitfire is a bar near Corus, where many students are keen to hold small parties, and the school's biggest names are often there, and it is considered the official entertainment venue of the Corruz High School.
"Okay, no problem!" Yan Yufeng saw Cole next to Lewis, and the latter also nodded his head, which was regarded as a greeting, but because of Lin Na, Cole's expression was also very cold.
"Let's go, as a victim, I think, I have the right to know the cause and effect of the incident!" Yan Yufeng's words made the few people who had come to the door to ask for the crime suddenly speechless, and watched Yan Yufeng walk out, and couldn't help but follow.
Coming to the edge of the small hillside woods that confronted Lin Na before, Yan Yufeng greeted Mick, who bowed his head and was silent: "Hey, friend, I think, there doesn't seem to be any hatred between us!" ”
Mick showed an indescribable look on his face, Yan Yufeng thought it was a shamelessness, so he continued to say slowly: "You can tell me, you are not a student of our school, and you are not my enemy, so why do you want to be like a reporter to promote for me?" ”
Wacho suddenly spoke, as Mick's elder brother, he and Yan Yufeng knew each other again, for this matter, he had different considerations from others, from Yan Yufeng's previous practice, he realized that this was a big trouble, so his attitude was very low: "Yan Yufeng, I am extremely sorry for my brother's approach, for all the responsibility caused by this matter, I am willing to bear it, I have asked Cole to contact the administrator of the school's BBS, they will come to remove this video a little later today, in addition, You can make your claim for compensation, and I will agree to anything I can do. ”
Yan Yufeng squinted at Wacho, a member of the varsity basketball team, with his characteristic Latin features, brown curly hair, black eyeballs, and a high nose. All this made him have a good impression of the same origin, especially when he called Yan Yufeng's full name at this time, in the West, if he can call a person's full surname, at least it means that he is solemn and serious now.
After feeling Waqiao's attitude, Yan Yufeng said: "Actually, there is no trouble for me about this matter, but I don't want to like the feeling of being peeped at." Now I just want to understand why he did it, because I'm not sure what else he will do in the future! ”
Hearing Yan Yufeng's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and so did Cole, he glanced at Lin Na, and found that the expression of the woman he had a crush on changed from gritting his teeth at the beginning to a favorable direction, and he couldn't help but immediately ask: "Yan, hello, I'm Cole from the Student Union, just now Lin Na told me that you are using the power of society to solve this matter, as a member of the Corus Student Union, I hope you can explain this matter clearly." ”
Yan Yufeng expected that Cole's appearance would not be so simple, so he replied categorically: "There is no such thing, I just made a phone call and asked the next friend who lives near Mick's part-time job bar to ask him to see if Mick is there, because before, Lin Na did not find him." ”
"Are you sure Mick won't be bothered in doubt?" Cole continued to ask.
"One, if the answer I get here at Mick can convince me that he won't continue to bother me, I trust that I personally won't do anything to disturb others.
Second, it's me being disturbed, not me bothering others.
Thirdly, Mick is an adult, and his safety should not be guaranteed by me, and I think that such a simple thing does not need me to repeat. ”
Yan Yufeng said expressionlessly, Cole and several people looked at each other, Cole until this moment, did not feel that the Chinese in front of him was quite not simple, suddenly thought of being able to become a star of a team in the gangster's strong streetball league, how could such a person treat him as a student?
"Okay, I guess it's just a matter between me and Mick, you can watch from the sidelines, but please don't get involved, okay?" Yan Yufeng raised his eyes and glanced at Lin Na and the others.
"Okay, I think we're thinking too much, I'm sorry, Yan, it's me who is too allergic!" Lin Na apologized in a whisper, Yan Yufeng glanced at Lin Na, and felt as if she was going in a direction she didn't like again, so she rudely interrupted her speech.
"I guess, I don't have much time to dwell on other things, okay, now, Mick, please tell me the reason why you're doing this!"
Mick settled down, in fact, from the time Vacgio found him until now, he has not eased up, working in Quinn's bar, he knows what role the gangster forces are, but he doesn't regret taking the medicine, Mick estimates that Viper is still a student after all, he should have some scruples, but when he heard him Whaccio told him that there may be a lot of gangsters looking for him now, he immediately panicked, and when he heard Yan looking for him, he couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope, so he followed very cooperatively.
Looking at the expressionless teenager in front of him, Mick swallowed his saliva, calmed down his mood, and explained the cause and effect in 1510: "I also didn't know it, until you were a viper who played in the bus pizza team, and once I came to the school to find Wacho, I saw you chatting with him, and I was stunned at that time, but I didn't expect you to be a student, Viper." ”
"Tell the point!" Yan Yufeng interrupted Mick's emotion.
"Well, I was just curious, but one time I went to play in another neighborhood, and Quinn was addicted to alcohol, so he called me and asked me to send it over, and I got to the stadium, and after giving him the drink, I sat there and watched. I didn't know what was wrong that day, so I talked too much, so I bragged about the fact that you were still a student to the people next to me, but I didn't expect that after the game, a black man came to look for me. He pulled me into a corner, and I thought he was going to rob me, but instead he gave me an envelope of dollar bills, and then said to me, if you are a student and play in the AND League to your school, that envelope of dollars is mine!
As soon as I was confused, I agreed! As you know, I recorded your video and sent it to the head coach's office of the school basketball team, as well as stealing my brother's account and making an anonymous post on the school's BBS. That's the way it is. ”
"What, you used my account to send it? Damn, how do you know! Vacho suddenly shouted. His buddy Simon immediately grabbed him.
"The head coach's office?" Yan Yufeng sank, this was an unexpected situation.
"Well, it seems that this thing is very simple, someone didn't want to play in the league, so hired you to sabotage! Is this the case? Yan Yufeng decided to let go of the situation first and deal with the current matter.
"Yes, I promise that what I said is true, and the money can be given to you as compensation! For $500, I only spent $45. It's all up to you. Mick said right away.
A hint of disgust flashed in Yan Yufeng's eyes, he waved his hand, and then said, "Okay, you can go, remember to remove the video from BBS." ”
"What?" Lin Na and the others couldn't help but shout in unison.
"That's it?" Vacgio was surprised.
"What do you think?" On the contrary, Yan Yufeng was strange.
"Oh, I think, this is the best result, we accept it!" Cole, who was still in the student council, reacted quickly and motioned with his eyes to his friends not to say more.
"Hmm!" Yan Yufeng nodded, looked at his watch, and the recess was almost over, so he turned around and walked towards the Reed Building, with Lin Na and others behind him, looking at his back with a smile.
"Although I think it may not fit the scene now, I still want to say, this buddy, it's too cool and cold, he's not pretending, but real, maybe this is the killer!" Lewis spoke suddenly, his expression adoring.
"Simon!" Lin Na said angrily.
"You really don't feel wrong, you didn't go to the court to watch him play, it's a pleasure to watch him play, God, how could I do such a thing!" Mick was emotionally aroused by Lewis's words, and when the matter was resolved, he immediately relaxed.
"Okay, don't talk about it, let's go! Linna, I still have class, I have to go first! Cole was the only one who was upset, and he pulled down his friend Lewis to signal him to stop talking, and he was frustrated that the whole incident did not work as expected.
"Thank you, Cole, I owe you a favor!" Linna is still very grateful for Cole's presence.
"Me too, thank you, Cole!" Waqiao also hurriedly thanked him, he looked back at Yan Yufeng, who had already walked away, and a thought suddenly came to his heart: Perhaps, in the near future, we will still be teammates.
※※
Time back to a week later, Yan Yufeng decided not to play the last two quarters of the afternoon, recently Kison has given him more and more training, and he seems to be enchanted, every word about basketball spit out from Kisen's mouth every day, he has a feeling of eye-opening, just like when he began to meet Coach Shang Lin, when Kison was confused, he took him into the basketball hall, a wider ocean.
He did feel that what Kisson said to him when they first met, he always thought that his skills and abilities were completely okay, in China, in the national high school league, he encountered Lu Di, Che Jin, Shan Yu, and they fought against them, and he never suffered a loss, maybe it was this that made him think that he lacked only strength, height, and game experience. It was only at this time that Yan Yufeng realized that in the vast sea of basketball, what he knew was too little to use.
Now he is working harder and harder, because Kisson has told him that each of the other six old people who are with him has unique insights and skills in the field of basketball, and when he thinks that Yan Yufeng is enough to learn, he will give Yan Yufeng a chance.
Just because of this sentence, Yan Yufeng was like taking a stimulant, and he was thinking all the time in his mind: What do I still not understand? Oh my God, I can't imagine it.
For this reason, Yan Yufeng decisively expressed his decision to Coach Quinn of the bus pizza team to quit the team for personal reasons. Of course, this is also because of Yan Yufeng's understanding of Quinn, this old guy, if he goes to Hollywood, he must be an acting superstar like Clark Gable.
The free departure of ADN was an agreement between Xu Xiaodong and Andy, and Yan Yufeng left without worry, where he successfully integrated into the underclass of the United States, which has a colorful culture. From an alien Asian race, in the end, everyone clearly recognized him as a viper, even if this is a code name, it is also a beautiful and dazzling, maybe not a legend, maybe it will be forgotten after a while, but at least, Yan Yufeng stood up again in a psychological sense.
This experience gave him additional motivation to continue running towards his dream, and it was here, these opponents, teammates, that gave him a clear grasp of the instinctive skills of how to fit into this atmosphere.
Leaving and, Yan Yufeng began a three-point and one-line life, school, residence, and Kison hut. Such monotony is Yan Yufeng's unique love, and only in this way did he catch the entire life trajectory of his life, which had been interrupted for nearly half a year, and he had always fallen in love with basketball and called it his life.
Just as Yan Yufeng was carrying his backpack and walking outside the school, a car slowly drove from behind, and when the car was parallel to Yan Yufeng, an old man leaned out and waved to him.
Yan Yufeng looked back, and the old man shouted, "Hey, can you talk?" Viper! ”
Yan Yufeng stopped, for the name viper, it was not the first time he had heard it on campus, but it had never appeared from the mouth of an old man, seeing Yan Yufeng's stop, the old man parked the car on the side of the road, and then got out of the car.
As soon as the old man got out of the car, he walked up to Yan Yufeng and stretched out his hand to introduce himself: "Hello, Mark Corva, assistant coach of the Corrus High School basketball team!" ”
Yan Yufeng's heart sank, maybe this time was too hard, so that he forgot why the school team ignored the haze after the leak.
To calm his emotions, Yan Yufeng calmly stretched out his grip: "Hello, Yan Yufeng!" ”
"Can we talk?" Corva looked very succinct, he probed the teenager in front of him, he had wanted to see how the teenager called Viper was playing live, but unfortunately he didn't know if it was because of the impact of the previous video incident, he had left the team. Colva regretted this, he thought that the teenager would soon appear on the school basketball team's training ground, but surprisingly, the teenager did not show up at all, which made the waiting Korva look a little anxious.
In the three games that have begun in the warm-up matches, because the ability of the substitute lineup is really different from the main lineup, this problem is becoming more and more serious in the face of the rules of the two-half system.
For a glimmer of possibility, Corva finally took the initiative to find Yan Yufeng.
"No problem, here?" Yan Yufeng looked around and asked.
"Change places and get in the car!"
The two got into the car, and Corva took Yan Yufeng out of the school gate and drove to the small hill to the east. Soon, the car stopped at a railway viaduct that Yan Yufeng passed by every day.
Corva got out of the car and looked around, and said to Yan Yufeng, who also got off the car: "During this time, I come here whenever I have free time, at my age, I really need such fresh air." ”
Yan Yufeng glanced at the cloudy sky, "I think, your free time definitely doesn't include morning!" ”
"Oh!" Corva was weird.
Yan Yufeng pointed to the asphalt path that stretched along the iron bridge into the distance: "I pass by here every morning, but I haven't seen you!" ”
"Haha, then I think, you've never been home from here in the evening!" Corva burst out laughing.
"Yes. Sir, I am a very time conscious person, is there anything you would like to talk to me about? ”
Corva looked at Yan Yufeng and had a deeper impression of him in his heart.
"Okay, I've always had a question in my mind, at the beginning of the school year, I remember that Cruses had a school-wide selection of members of the school basketball team, but I haven't seen your registration?"
"Yes, I have a personal reason!"
"And now?" Colva threw up the next question.
"Now?" Yan Yufeng froze and looked at the old man seriously, who looked at him very calmly.
"I guess I missed my chance?" Yan Yufeng asked a rhetorical question.
"Opportunity? This thing has always belonged to those who fought for it! Colva smiled.
Yan Yufeng nodded, and then replied, "I think I'm willing." ”
Corva didn't smile when he got Yan Yufeng's reply, but looked a little heavier, and then he rubbed his hands and said, "Before, I have some questions that I need your explanation, can I ask you?" ”
Yan Yufeng's face did not change, and he said calmly: "Yes." ”
"You play in the Streetball League?"
"Yes, but not anymore!"
"Why join?"
"I think that's something I wanted to do before I came to the U.S."
"I have the impression that there are restrictions and requirements for the players who join!"
"I have my relationship!"
Colva thought to herself that she had finally got to the point, and she pulled herself together and asked, "Can you tell me, what is the relationship?" ”
Yan Yufeng was silent for a moment, and then replied: "This involves another person's **, I can only say that this relationship will not have any impact on me!" ”
"I don't think it's proof by your guarantee!"
Yan Yufeng was silent again, he lowered his head in thought, and only looked at Corva again after a while: "Is it because of this reason that I will not be able to enter the school team?" ”
Corva didn't expect Yan Yufeng's speculation to be so fast, which he originally wanted to tell Yan Yufeng, but now that Yan Yufeng has already said it, he admitted: "Head coach Herzberg is a very traditional campus coach, and he has no intention of bringing any players from bad social backgrounds into his team. ”
"I see!" Yan Yufeng nodded, and his face did not show the same expression of remorse as Korva's guess, which couldn't help but make him think more.
"Alright then, I have something else, can I go?" Then Yan Yufeng said another sentence that surprised Corva.
Colvale was happy, he was really curious about this teenager now, "Since I appeared, it proves that this matter is not without a turnaround, Yan!" As a last resort, Corva had no choice but to throw some hole cards first.
"Oh sir, please say, what can I do!" Yan Yufeng replied.
"I'm personally very optimistic about you, Yan, and to be honest, you're really a piece of the puzzle that the team needs, and the problem now is that we need to get rid of the negative impact of your previous play in the streetball league, so I need some proof." Colva explained earnestly.
"Is it a proof to the head coach, Mr. Herzberg?" Yan Yufeng asked sharply.
"Yes!" Corva was once again surprised by Yan Yufeng's clear thinking ability, and couldn't help but look forward to it again.
"Family Certificate? Still is? ”
"Of course, if it's a family and your parents go out, it should have a certain effect, I mean, if there's anything that proves that there is no direct connection between you and the Brooklyn gangsters, it's the best!"
Yan Yufeng was silent, it was absolutely impossible for his mother to approve of him playing, the reason why he was reluctant to participate in the enrollment of the basketball team in the first place was not only that his knee injury was still being treated, but also that the signature of the guardian was needed. ”
"Family, I can't give either, my mother doesn't approve of me playing games! Mr! Yan Yufeng replied.
"Oh!" Corva was surprised, but quickly understood that she had come across many examples of similar family disapprovals. So he didn't discuss this issue, he threw out his other ideas: "Can you have any celebrities to vouch for you?" ”
"Huh?" Yan Yufeng felt very novel, he had never thought of such a method.
Seeing Yan Yufeng's expression, Corva immediately asked, "Is there one?" If so, I think I'm confident to convince the manager! ”
Yan Yufeng frowned and thought about it, in the United States, except for his mother and Xu Xiaodong, he didn't have anyone else he knew well, and this seemed to be a useless road.
Wait, coach, yes, Coach Shang, didn't he say that he used to be an assistant coach at an American university?
Yan Yufeng suddenly became excited, his expression appeared on his face, and it also made Colva feel as if there was a new progress.
"My coach in a high school in China, he can vouch for me!"
"What? High School Coaching? Colva suddenly fell to the bottom, and he barely smiled: "Yan, I think, this may not be able to convince Coach Herzberg!" ”
Yan Yufeng shook his head: "Sir, my coach used to be an assistant coach at a university in the United States before he became my coach!" ”
"Ahh Corva's mood was like a roller coaster, and thanks to the sports coach, his health was much better than that of the average old man of his age, so he quickly stabilized his emotions: "Which one? Do you have his contact details now? ”
Colva's words, like retribution, made Yan Yufeng's mood a roller coaster, yes, since the injury, he has not been in contact with the coach for a long time, I heard that he has left Beiyang and returned to the United States, and the previous contact information is probably invalid.
"No, after I came to the United States, I lost his contact information!" Yan Yufeng was really depressed at the moment.
At this time, Colva is still optimistic, as he has been in the NCAA league for so long, he believes that no one, as long as he is indeed an assistant basketball coach in an American university, even if it is a woman, he can find it through connections.
"Tell me, kid, what's the name of your high school coach!"
"Shang Lin!"
"Shang?" Due to the difference between Eastern and Western cultures, the name is probably the most impressive and incomprehensible word for Eastern and Western races. Corva felt the pronunciation familiar, so he continued to ask, "Shang?"
To this, Yan Yufeng replied in a supplementary way: "He used to be the first coach of Duke University!" ”
"Oh God!" Corva couldn't believe it, what a coincidence!
"Merchants! Oh God, it turns out that he went back to China to become a high school coach? Haha, if I tell Herzberg, I'm afraid he'll laugh and go straight to the emergency center! "Corva is huge.
It was Yan Yufeng's turn to be dumbfounded, "Sir, do you know each other?" ”
"Of course I know, Herzberg also had a fierce conflict with Shang, but don't worry, it's all about the concept, Shang and we are old acquaintances, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it!"
"Herzberg was originally Duke University too?" Yan Yufeng also sighed, he didn't expect to come to the United States from China, and after going around such a circle, he actually met another coach head of Duke University.
"Okay, in that case, you don't have to worry about how to contact the businessman, I remember he just came back to Duke, now with the second lineup, later today, I'll give him a call!" Corva glanced at Yan Yufeng, and felt that the latter obviously had a very expectant look, and his heart was much more settled.
"Looks like you're going to be on the team soon!" Corva smiled, now, he began to see Yan Yufeng differently, he was the same teacher, and his attitude would naturally be different.
"By the way, what would you do if I hadn't kept you?" On the way back, Corva asked.
So, Yan Yufeng's answer made him feel surprised again and re-acquainted with this calm and sharp teenager.
"If I really can't join the Corus varsity basketball team, I will transfer schools, and I came to the United States to play American high school basketball!"
Yan Yufeng's answer was very simple and firmer.
Corva looked up at Yan Yufeng, who was sitting in the back seat, and had an idea in his heart: Perhaps, he is the answer Herzberg is looking for.
But soon, he smiled, after all, that is the best sign of the entire Duke so far, and it is also the strongest of Duke's magic weapons to win, even in the United States, where geniuses are everywhere and masters are rotten on the street, how many have Duke found?
Yan Yufeng in the back seat naturally didn't know that the old man in front of him would have so many articles in his heart, he was suddenly very quiet in his heart, looking out of the car window, there was no wave in his heart.
Perhaps, he has always believed that he, Yan Yufeng, will come after all.
America, now, I'm really coming!
PS: There are five things that need to be said.
First: I didn't save the manuscript, and I really wrote a chapter every day.
Second: I know that my QQ was inadvertently leaked by someone, don't expect me to forgive you like Yan Yufeng, but if you can give me some benefits, I can consider it. Ha ha!
In addition, because of the leakage of the QQ number,I have to reiterate,I'm not adding people now,First, QQ doesn't add people,Second,I don't know what to talk about,Three,I'm a very difficult person to chat on the Internet.,Unless you're in a good mood one day,It's hard to talk.。 Not to mention putting on a show, it's really a personal problem, and it's a habit that can't be broken.
Third: I was originally going to insert some domestic leagues in the middle, although it was a brushstroke, but there are still a lot to explain, but considering that the United States chapter has just begun, it needs more space, so there is a sense of substitution, so I won't write it for the time being.
Fourth: There are still very few people who see it now, but some people are already paying attention, of course they are very happy, don't say anything else, at this age, nothing can not be seen, originally from the beginning of writing, I didn't want to figure anything, now even more not, but friends who have seen it, or more opinions, my own sincere heart is bottomless, you haven't seen it for a long time, I haven't written for a long time, this state, this sense of language, it's not that it comes to say, and I hope to be able to participate in the topic more than before, and predict more after the discussion. Give me a little more inspiration too.
Because the entertainment behavior forum was closed a long time ago, now if you can't chat and leave a message at the starting point, go to Baidu Campus Basketball Sticker Bar to send it. By the way, thank you to the friends of Baidu Tieba, thank you for your continued support.
Fifth: I can't guarantee when the starting point will close my work, so, I try to maintain the speed of one chapter a day, but if not, don't blame, I have other things to be busy with after all, everyone is an adult, please be more considerate, my temper tantrums, after so many years, of course, has changed a lot, but I still hope everyone is harmonious, don't scold, I don't want anything.
I don't expect everyone who used to see the campus to come back, I just hope that everyone who is still watching the campus will be like each other in reality, like those friends who met through basketball, there is no relationship of interest, purely because of the mentality of hobbies.
Next, I'm about to write a competition, and I'm nervous, NND, this is really nerve-wracking!
