After getting Thomas's accurate analysis, Mies suddenly felt that he was full of energy, and he began to look forward to a better beginning in the future, more spotlights, more flattery, and more dollars.
The most important thing is that the door, which seems to be in his mind, is gradually becoming clearer.
Meate began to look through his address book, trying to find more outlets to sell, and he muttered to himself, "I remember I knew a college coach named Wallace, who was from that university?" ”
Suddenly, as if he had been pointed, he didn't move, and Meese cried out in frustration: "Oh my God, what's wrong with me? He's not my signing, hey, what's going on with me today? ”
Meese stood up, and he walked back and forth in the room.
There is no doubt that the No. 8 player has made him tempted, especially after receiving professional recognition, Mies's heart is burning like a basin of gasoline ignited by a spark. But the regulations of the National Sports League made it impossible for him to take a step forward, and he kept telling himself to calm down, but the emotions of gaining and losing made him extremely irritable.
This No. 8, I must hold it in my hands! Meese confessed to himself with great certainty.
But how can we get him? With my current resources and qualifications, it is too difficult to convince a Chinese person who has never known him.
But if you don't fight for it, No. 8 will be like an awl in your pocket, sooner or later it will puncture your pocket and be seen and found by more people. What am I, Meath?
No, now is my greatest chance, with each passing day, the less advantageous I become, and I have to act as soon as possible. Where is this number 8 coming from?
Yes, Gao De seems to have communicated with him after the game, and then Gao De said in the car, they exchanged phone numbers with each other, and I have to get this number.
Meese immediately took out his phone, but quickly put it down, he remembered that it was already early in the morning, and disturbing Gao De would only affect Gao De's impression of him, and besides, once I explained my intentions, with Gao De's IQ, I would definitely know my intentions. Will he think about something?
Mise fell into distress, he picked up the coffee that had cooled on the table, took a sip, and immediately spit it out, the bitter coffee stimulated his taste buds, which in turn calmed him down a little.
Yes, the venue for the afternoon game is the home of the 8th, and he will definitely be there, and then I can have a deep talk with him, and even if it doesn't work out, I can get friendship.
Thinking of this, Meese slowly calmed down, he put down his coffee, sat back in his chair, and saw that the computer screen showed that the video of another Chinese No. 4 had also been imported. At this time, Meese remembered that he had another target to chase, and, with the sixth sense from talking to the two at that time, Meese felt that this No. 4 was more emotional for his appearance. To be exact, his eyes were already readable to Mees.
After turning on the video, Mies took out his black notebook again, turned a blank page, and began to analyze Wei Ning's performance on the court.
Wei Ning in the video just came on the field, that is, in the face of Gao De's fast attack defense, Mies slowed down, but he still didn't see it clearly, Mies was stunned, he played it again, and still didn't see how Wei Ning cut Gao De's ball into his hands.
The speed of the playback was lowered again, and this time, Meese could see what was really going on in the afternoon scene.
When Gao De deceived No. 4's defensive center of gravity through small broken steps, No. 4 actually seemed to be stupid and didn't move, but when Gao De leaned over to shoot the basketball and turned left at the same time, that is, the moment before his right hand just caught the bounced basketball, No. 4 actually stretched out his right hand, and then when the basketball was just touched by Gao De's right hand and hooked, No. 4's right hand also touched the basketball.
Meese paused the picture, and enlarged the image, shooting from the angle of the stands, the two are sideways, looking parallel to each other and perpendicular to each other, No. 4's outstretched hand seems to be in the picture, building a horizontal bridge connecting the two, throwing away the clarity of the picture, Meese actually looked a little dazed.
How can there be an inexplicable charm in this picture? Am I dazzled?
Meate was in doubt.
How did he do it? It's like Gao De sent it to him, but it's absolutely impossible, it's too weird! Unless he foresaw that Gao De would dribble the ball like this, at such a fast speed, it would almost take milliseconds to see the action, he actually took one step and cut the ball cleanly, without touching Gao De's body at all.
The only explanation, this is a coincidence, No. 4 just broke off the basketball by luck, such a defense, I'm afraid it can't be seen in the NCAA, how can it appear in such a huge person?
Although Meate still has concerns, he is rational and summarizes the reason on luck.
Next, it was No. 4 who passed the ball to No. 8, who then passed the ball back to him again, took advantage of the two defenders, and hooked the ball into the basket.
In this scene, Meate feels that No. 4 still has a certain amount of quick subconscious, and the strength is really not bad, although the defender is not big, and he does not necessarily have much strength, but he can stand up to two people, take three steps, and his movements are not deformed in the slightest, so it can be seen that No. 4's strength is definitely not bad. 【△網. 】
Mees wanted to send the video to Thomas as well, but hesitated for a while, and finally gave up, he watched No. 4 play now, in the second quarter, in the third quarter, he saw No. 4 wreaking havoc on the basket inside, calling for wind and rain, but this is in the situation where the Verus team has no center, even a defender with less than the No. 4 chin, the true level of No. 4 is doubtful.
What's more, there were a few mid-range shots, and Mees found that Wei Ning's shots were very average, and even without interference, he couldn't hit. Coupled with his dribbling level, in general, Meate has a very low rating of Wei Ning, if you want to compare the two, No. 4 is a half-star, and No. 8 is at least a four-star start.
After pondering for a while, Mees felt that No. 4 could be regarded as a choice with a certain cultivation value, and No. 8 would be his inevitable pursuit.
Looking at the table below, it was already two o'clock in the evening, and Meese yawned, he had been busy all day today, and when he felt that things could be over, sleepiness suddenly swept over.
Struggling to climb onto the bed, Meese felt like squinting for a moment before going to wash. But it didn't take long for him to fall asleep.
The night sky outside the window is full of stars.
It's as if every star is shining to show its existence.
####
Yan Yufeng, who was wearing boxer shorts, was standing on the edge of the bed getting dressed, and suddenly saw an unread text message on his mobile phone, he felt very strange, and thought that Wei Ning was looking for him something, so he picked it up and looked at it.
It was a text message from an unknown number: Hey! Bigy, it's a lot of fun to compete with you, are you free the afternoon after tomorrow? I would like to invite you to visit our school, please say yes. Gaud.
Gaud? Yan Yufeng's mind suddenly appeared in the scene after the afternoon game. dudu1;
As soon as the game ended, Gao De ran to his side and asked him for a phone, expressing his recognition of his skills, Yan Yufeng, who lost the game, was not too enthusiastic, but Gao De still asked him a few questions very seriously.
Shots, names, where did they come from.
Yan Yufeng replied perfunctorily, but Gao De, who was not deeply involved in the world, didn't seem to realize it, until Reed pulled him away with a black face, Gao De frequently turned back and waved to Yan Yufeng.
Unexpectedly, it was only a long time before this Gao De actually invited him to meet again.
Yan Yufeng shook his head and smiled, thought about it, and replied with a text message: Okay, thank you for the invitation, but I don't have enough time, if I can, I hope I will set the time.
Not long after the text message was sent, Gao De's text message came: Yes, except for the choir on Thursday afternoon, I am free after 3 p.m. every other day.
Choir?
A thought came to Yan Yufeng's heart: No wonder.
The choir is actually a volunteer union of the Protestant Church, which aims to attract young people, encourage mutual aid, and demand enthusiasm and initiative. Yan Yufeng had heard of it, but he didn't expect Gao De to be, so it would be understandable to his previous behavior.
Putting down the phone, Yan Yufeng saw the sweatpants that he took off and threw on the sofa again, and saw the green banknotes exposed at the corners of his trouser pockets, so he remembered the previous gambling contract.
I couldn't help laughing, it was amazing, at first everyone bet on how many points they could get, but in the end, Zhang Pei, who was actually a banker, won, before and after getting it, the excited Zhang Pei thought that Yan Yufeng wanted to help him, so he wanted to secretly stuff money to Yan Yufeng to express his heart, but Yan Yufeng refused, but he didn't expect that when he changed clothes, he still secretly stuffed money in his trouser pocket.
took it out and counted it, almost a thousand dollars, this is not a small amount, if it weren't for Lin Na's joining, I'm afraid this situation wouldn't have happened, twisting the money in his hand, Yan Yufeng was thinking about how to use the money correctly.
Sitting on the bed, Yan Yufeng habitually raised his knees again, and at the beginning of the third quarter in the afternoon, he felt that the injury was a little uncomfortable, and he immediately extinguished the ** who continued to play. Looking at it carefully now, it is indeed a little swollen, frowning and sighing, I decided to go downstairs to the refrigerator first and take out a medical ice pack to cool it.
As soon as the cold dressing was put in the hall, the door opened, and the mother pushed the door in, but saw her half-naked son sitting on the couch, and couldn't help but say, "Don't you know how to protect yourself on such a cold day?" Outrageous! ”
Yan Yufeng was also embarrassed, so he hugged the sofa cushion to his chest and stammered, "Mom, why are you here?" Don't make a phone call first. ”
"Have you eaten?" The mother ignored Yan Yufeng's complaints, first confirmed her son's belly, and when she saw Yan Yufeng's smile, she immediately knew what the situation was, snorted, put down the bag, and went into the kitchen.
Seeing his mother busy in the kitchen, Yan Yufeng hurriedly trotted up the stairs, and only after getting dressed did he go downstairs. came to the kitchen door and said earnestly: "Do you want to do it!" Mom! ”
"It's none of your business, go lie down on the couch." The mother didn't say anything back.
So Yan Yufeng obediently sat back on the sofa, turned on the TV boredly, and switched TV channels there.
It didn't take long for a bowl of tomato scrambled egg noodles to be served, Yan Yufeng moved his index finger and shouted to his mother: "Only my mother is good in the world!" ”
"Don't slip your head there, eat it while it's hot. It's not good to get cold later. Mom still kept a straight face, but there was a hint of a smile on the corner of her eyebrows.
While her son was eating noodles, the mother turned on the inquiry mode.
After asking a few daily life questions, my mother suddenly coughed, and then asked in a solemn voice, "Fengfeng, do you want to return to China?" ”
Yan Yufeng was stunned, put down his chopsticks, looked up at his mother carefully, and then said, "Mom, what's wrong?" ”
"Your father called me yesterday and said that if the injury is almost healed, he can return to China to recover, and he said that Chinese medicine is not necessarily worse than foreign countries in this regard."
Frowning, Yan Yufeng was silent for a while, and said, "Mom, what do you mean." ”
Mother raised her eyebrows and said: "I directly rejected your confused father's opinion, not to mention who is good and who is bad in Chinese and Western medicine, just with his unadjusted life and rest, he can't control you at all, no one will watch you when you go back, I think, your injury will be aggravated!" ”
Yan Yufeng smiled bitterly, but he had to admit that his mother's eyes were bright, so he had to follow the words: "I don't want to go back, I'll go back now, what's it?" ”
After getting her son's answer, the mother's expression softened obviously: "You are at a critical time now, not to mention recovery, your studies are also very important, I don't look down on universities in China, you have to go to college here." ”
"Ugh!" Yan Yufeng could only roll his eyes.
"Don't mention any feelings and gambling to me, I've been at home and abroad for so long, I know the pros and cons in it, Fengfeng, I don't know if you can really survive through basketball, but even if you can, you have to get a diploma, learn more professional knowledge, don't be like those stupid big guys in the NBA, go bankrupt not long after retiring." Mother said bitterly.
Hearing this, Yan Yufeng suddenly remembered the agent in the afternoon, so he said, "By the way, Mom, I met an agent today." ”
"Broker? American? Whites? Or blacks? The mother suddenly became alert and asked repeatedly.
"White people, it looks, are in their forties." Yan Yufeng explained.
"Ignore it." The mother immediately gave the verdict, and after speaking, she felt uneasy, and said: "You are not yet old enough to sign a contract, and those who come at this time are all fools, and they are all small roles." ”
"Mom, how do you know so clearly?" Yan Yufeng was surprised.
"It's not because of you, several of your coaches have repeatedly said that you have the potential to go professional basketball, and I see that you are also bent on this road, and as a mother, you naturally have to take precautions."
"Son, don't worry. If you really want to go down this road, Mom will definitely give you a team that is not bad for Team Yao! The mother's expression was serious and confident at this time, and Yan Yufeng also trembled when she saw it. dudu2;
King Ming has been logged into the NBA, and the role of the Yao team behind him is well known to the world. Mother can say this, which makes Yan Yufeng feel a little incredible.
"Don't think about it now, don't ask too much, and recover with peace of mind." Mother patted Yan Yufeng's hand, then looked at her watch, and said, "I still have to socialize at night, Fengfeng, you remember to rest early." ”
Yan Yufeng realized that his mother was probably stopping by to see him this time, and his heart was relieved.
When her mother came, she walked very neatly, and when she heard the sound of the engine starting outside the hospital, she gradually faded away, looking at the tomato and egg noodles that were still bubbling enthusiastically, Yan Yufeng even had the illusion that her mother had really come.
Suddenly, he couldn't help but lose his emotions, Yan Yufeng sat on the dining table, his hand unconsciously tapping on the table.
Return?
I never thought about it, but why when I heard this sentence, my heart had an inexplicable impulse.
Looking at the furniture around him, he remembered his hometown in Jiangsu, and Yan Yufeng suddenly felt extremely lonely and lonely.
Feeling that he didn't want to stay here, Yan Yufeng broke the routine of not going out at night, he picked up his coat, took off the ice pack, pushed open the door, and walked out.
Coming to the road and breathing in the cold air, Yan Yufeng felt a little better, and he didn't know where to go, so he walked along the road in the direction of the Maple Bay basketball court.
When he arrived near the court, Yan Yufeng habitually glanced at the court and found that it was empty, so he continued to walk forward in disappointment. ”
Looking sideways, I saw a person sitting on the steps at the entrance of a small two-story building, and it was Jimmy.
Yan Yufeng turned his head to the side, and Jimmy confirmed, he stood up, ran over, and shouted, "Wow, where are you going?" ”
"Just take a walk, this is your home?" Yan Yufeng asked.
"Well, come in and sit down!" Jimmy sent out an invitation.
Yan Yufeng shook his head: "I just had dinner and want to go." ”
"Okay, together, I'm bored too." Jimmy didn't care, and he was already moving forward.
Seeing this, Yan Yufeng couldn't do it, so he had to keep up.
"You played awesome in the afternoon, I heard that there were NCAA players on the other side, so we didn't lose ugly, it's all up to you." Jimmy said excitedly.
“ncaa? Really? Yan Yufeng was a little surprised.
"Well, I went to inquire, and that No. 2 is from Verus High School, and No. 5 is from the Kentucky Wildcats. And listen to them as brothers. That's absolutely true, their own players told me personally. Jimmy hurriedly reassured.
Yan Yufeng's mind remembered the faces of Gao De and Reed, this time, he felt a little surprised and a little surprise in his heart, it seems that No. 5 is a player of the Kentucky team, he is indeed very powerful, but this can become a player of a giant?
Yan Yufeng muttered in his heart.
"Anyway, if you can play No. 5 like this, it looks like you're going to play in the NCAA sooner or later!" Jimmy's tone was full of envy and amazement.
"Heh......!" Yan Yufeng just smiled and didn't answer.
Jimmy was a little immersed in his own thoughts, and he continued: "Verus High School is one of the best basketball teams in our division, and it has produced several great stars in the past, and now it is also the team that enters the spring game every year. ”
"Are they a second-tier alliance?" Yan Yufeng's heart moved and asked.
"No, their school is small, it's a tertiary alliance." (Note: In the United States, leagues are divided by the size of the school, and schools of the same size form various sports leagues, so teams in the first division may not be better than teams in other levels.) Some second- and third-tier league champion teams are the strongest in the United States, such as Oak Hill High School, which is not a first-tier league because there are only about 100 students in the school, so you can imagine the size of the school. In addition, James's St. Mary's High School is not a Division I league. However, most of the strong teams are in the first-tier leagues of the states. )
Yan Yufeng also knew the nature of the division of the league, and was a little disappointed, but Jimmy said: "But no matter what level of team it is, it will play the knockout round in the spring, and it is also the spring game. At that point, the state's league-powerhouses will battle it out for the title of state tournament champion. ”
"So?" Yan Yufeng suddenly felt his blood boiling.
"Of course, so the regular season is all appetizers now, and the really exciting games are next spring. I go to various schools every year to watch the ball, and in other words, the tickets are really difficult to get, and in the end, I still have to buy scalpers tickets. Jimmy's face grimaced as he thought about it.
"Next spring?" Yan Yufeng was talking to himself.
"Well, when it doesn't snow anymore, the playoffs will begin!" Jimmy was still walking in front, and he didn't see Yan Yufeng's expectant and excited expression, otherwise he would definitely be startled.
"Crazy March, you should know." Jimmy said.
"Know, the elimination of a national university."
"Actually, after March, it's crazy April, which is the holiday for our high school basketball team, and at this time of year, the championship champions of each state have been decided, and some of them will be invited to participate in the national high school championship to determine the national high school champion of the year. By then, the No. 1 high school student in the nation will be freshly baked, you know? That person is 100% destined to enter the NBA! Oh my God, I don't know who will be the emperor this year! Jimmy looked wistful.
"Why a part?" Yan Yufeng thought of a question.
Jimmy smiled: "Some teams rely on groups and tactics to win the state championship, the stars of these teams are generally famous, and they will definitely not be invited, and some states will not engage in any playoffs, but directly give birth to champions at all levels of leagues, so so many state champion teams, of course, must be selected, and will only choose some state champion teams with great fame and star potential to participate, so as to attract more attention!" ”dudu3;
"Alel, you know so much!" Yan Yufeng was a little curious.
"Haha, my goal is to become a basketball reporter, what is this, in addition to reading every day, the rest of my time is to record the intelligence information of high school basketball teams on all continents. Do you think I know less? ”
Yan Yufeng suddenly looked at Jimmy differently, his heart moved, and he asked again: "What do you know about New York?" What about our district? ”
Jimmy was a little hesitant when he heard this, and he smiled hesitantly: "That, in fact, New York hasn't had any great teams for a long time, and I don't have much to pay attention to, but the strong teams still know some." ”
"Tell me about it." Yan Yufeng was not disappointed.
Jimmy thought for a moment before he said: "Lincoln High School is a strong team in New York State in the past, and it has won the state championship many times, Brooke High School is also an old strong team, St. Louis High School, almost every few years, it has to reach the top, and it is also very strong, by the way, the No. 2 Verus High School that played with us today is also good." The others are sometimes strong and sometimes weak, and it is difficult to judge. ”
At this time, the two walked to a public outdoor recreation area, where there are many street lights and enough light, Yan Yufeng pulled Jimmy to find a bench to sit down, he asked, "I don't quite understand what is called when the time is strong and sometimes the time is weak?" ”
Jimmy was a little surprised, but thinking that Yan Yufeng was an international student, he understood, he said: "Many high school teams are supported by a certain star, you should understand that every year, through junior high school, there will be many people who suddenly appear, these people can lead the team to change the original pattern in their high school, almost every year's playoffs, there will be a few teams that have never set foot in the playoffs, so I won't spend energy to pay attention, the workload is too big, not I can be involved." ”
"In fact, in my understanding, basketball is like this, relying on a star can pull a declining team out of the quagmire and move towards a bright future. Basketball is a place that is destined to need heroes to save! Jimmy's face was solemn, looking at the starry sky.
"Bigy, you're strong, I can feel it at first glance. It's my magical sixth sense, I can't be mistaken! Jimmy suddenly turned his head and said to Yan Yufeng.
Yan Yufeng didn't speak, he shook his head, but Jimmy was anxious: "What are you afraid of?" ”
Yan Yufeng thought about it and decided to tell the inside story: "Do you know why I didn't play in the third quarter?" I can see that after the game, you were a little unhappy, is that because of this? ”
Jimmy was stunned, but immediately admitted, "Yes, I'm a little angry and disappointed, but I think you have a reason. ”
Yan Yufeng lifted his legs, and he rolled up his trouser legs, revealing his slightly red and swollen knees.
"I came to the U.S. for treatment of my injuries, and if it weren't for that, I wouldn't be here. Because of this, I chose to give up in verse 3, although I never had this word in my dictionary, but I had to do it. ”
As he spoke, Yan Yufeng glanced at Jimmy, who was surprised: "Because of this, I was sent from the school team to the second team to recuperate, you say, what should I do now?" ”
Jimmy leaned over, he even reached out and touched Yan Yufeng's knee, and he asked with doubt, "Is it the meniscus or the ligament?" ”
"It was the meniscus before, it's the ligaments now." Yan Yufeng replied lightly, and then he lowered his legs and faded back into his trousers.
Jimmy's face looked regretful and uncomfortable, and he said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't be angry with you, and now I understand why you were so angry with Derek this afternoon." ”
"It's all gone, no need." Yan Yufeng shook his head to stop Jimmy from continuing to speak, "Actually, my injury is almost healed, and I can't exercise much now, so it's me who should say sorry for not helping the community win the game." ”
"The community game itself is a party, you don't have to think about it, what are you going to do now?"
Yan Yufeng took a deep breath, glanced at Jimmy, and said, "If I want to lead the team into the playoffs, do you believe it?" ”
"Faith, you can do it!" Jimmy immediately replied, seeing that Yan Yufeng raised his eyebrows, he immediately added: "I'm not an expert in basketball, but I know what is powerful, what is a superstar, I can tell clearly, from me, you are a superstar!" ”
"Oh, why do you say that?" Yan Yufeng was a little strange.
Jimmy coughed first, then straightened his sitting posture, and said, "First of all, you have many offensive means and are efficient, and then your physical fitness is good, not inferior to black people, and you are a person with strong willpower, I can feel it." With these three points, you can make a name for yourself! ”
"Thank you first, I hope that day." Yan Yufeng smiled, he now thinks that Jimmy is usually oily and smooth, but he is a person with a good stomach, at this age, it is already very surprising to have such a judgment.
As a client, Yan Yufeng didn't think Jimmy was exaggerating, he also had this confidence, so he quipped: "How your school is this year, don't you pay attention?" ”
As soon as Jimmy heard about his school, he immediately looked disdainful: "Our school doesn't have a school team at all, the so-called school team, I guess, is not as good as our community team!" ”
"Is it because I'm on the community team?" Yan Yufeng pretended to be proud, Jimmy immediately laughed, and he said continuously: "I'm talking about when you haven't joined yet, Bigy, I didn't expect you to be quite good at cold humor." ”
"It's getting late, it's time to go back." A cold wind blew, and Yan Yufeng found that he was still wearing less, and couldn't help but have the idea of going home.
Jimmy looked a little disappointed, with an expression that the conversation had just begun, but he still realized the reason why Yan Yufeng proposed to go back, so he also stood up.
"Take care of your injuries, as soon as the snow melts, I'll go cheer for you!" When the two returned to the place where they met, Jimmy stood at the door of his house and promised Yan Yufeng.
"Definitely!" Yan Yufeng agreed briefly and forcefully.
Jimmy nodded excitedly, waved his hand to Yan Yufeng, and walked into the house.
Saying goodbye to Jimmy, Yan Yufeng walked back the way he came, and along the way, his heart gradually warmed up.
Jimmy's previous words about the competition system ignited Yan Yufeng's heart, he originally thought that he had missed the opportunity, but he didn't expect that it was another village where there was no road in the mountains and the flowers in the willows.
Come on, Yan Yufeng!
The battle of the future, how can it be without me! (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please browse M. Reading for a better reading experience.
