"Russia...... University of Oklahoma! Li Dong was so shocked that he sat up from the sofa. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In fact, he didn't know much about American universities, but he had heard of the University of Oklahoma, where one of his idols, Griffin, had appeared.

In his freshman season, Blake Griffin averaged 14.7 points and 9.1 rebounds per game, both of which ranked in the top 10 of the Big12 and was named to the league's All-NBA First Team.

In his sophomore season, Blake Griffin had 30 double-doubles, averaging 22.7 points and 14.4 rebounds per game, and was named Player of the Year in the Big 12. Griffin grabbed 504 rebounds in a season, the most rebounds in a college player since Larry Bird in 1979 and only one fewer than Bird's. Meanwhile, Griffin's 14.4 rebounds per game is the single-game record since Tim Duncan in 1997. Griffin has won back-to-back Wooden and Naismith Awards, and was named Player of the Year by the Associated Press.

That year, he was selected by the Los Angeles Clippers with the first pick in the first round of the 2009 draft.

Seeing Li Dong's excited reaction, Principal Liu and Joe Thomas looked at each other and smiled, and then Principal Liu opened his mouth and continued: "Of course, don't get excited yet. Private universities like the University of Oklahoma will have very expensive tuition fees. Secondly, they will be very demanding in recruiting students, so you should listen to this Mr. Joe Thomas first. ”

Li Dong's mood gradually calmed down, he sat down, and his face became calm again.

Joe Thomas nodded in satisfaction, mental quality is also the criterion for judging whether a player is good or not. He looked at Li Dong and showed a bright smile, then took the initiative to stand up and stretched out his right hand: "Formally introduce myself to you, I'm Joe Thomas, a scout from the Thunder." ”

Li Dong was caught off guard by Thomas's sudden attack, hurriedly stood up again, and then reached out to shake hands with him, knowing nothing about the English he had just heard, he could only smile awkwardly.

Thomas was a little familiar, and he spoke quickly: "I watched your game yesterday, I was shocked by the strength you showed, and at the same time I am very optimistic about the potential you have, I think you are a player with NBA strength in the future, so I hope you can cooperate with me and go to the NCAA to forge yourself!" ”

Li Dong looked at Principal Liu blankly, not knowing what Thomas said.

Principal Liu laughed and said, "Look, Li Dong." Usually let you learn English well, don't listen. Now that I meet a foreigner, there is no way! He gave a slightly smug translation: "He said that he is very optimistic about your basketball talent and asked you to go to a university in the United States with him!" ”

Li Dong is embarrassed, and he is the first person who can ask Principal Liu to be the translator. But what is the origin of this Joe Thomas, who was able to introduce himself to an American university. Deep down, his first reaction was, "You won't meet any liars, will you?" ”

Li Dong stood there with some hesitation, he glanced at Principal Liu, and then at the foreign old man, not knowing what he should say.

"Ahem!" Principal Liu came out of the round at this time, and he knew that he should play his role: "Li Dong, this matter is a big deal, I think you have to go back and ask your parents for their opinions, of course, this Mr. Joe Thomas still knows this very well, and he will wait for your news in the next week." ”

"Here's my phone number." Joe Thomas didn't expect that one day he would give his phone number to a man, knowing that he had always asked women for a phone before. Well, it was a strange feeling for him, especially when the phone number was only on a small piece of paper.

Li Dong took the note, saw a string of mobile phone numbers written on it, and knew what the foreign old man meant.

"Alright." Principal Liu waved his hand to Li Dong and signaled that he could leave: "You go back first, remember to discuss with your parents in the evening about going to the United States to study." ”

Li Dong nodded, indicating that he understood, and then turned around and left the principal's office, which made him feel slightly depressed.

……

Back in the dormitory, Li Dong took out his mobile phone and called home.

Li Dong organized the language in his mind, and then asked Li Zhong rhetorically, "Dad, what do you think your son and my basketball level can reach?" ”

Li Zhong was stunned by his son's rhetorical question, he obviously didn't understand much about these, and then replied tentatively: "CBA school is coming to you again?" ”

"Nope." Li Dong shook his head, he really admired his father's reaction speed, and then replied word by word: "This time a foreigner ran into our school, and he said that he was a scout of the Thunder. Hmm~~ Oklahoma City Thunder, the professional basketball team of the NBA. ”

Li Zhong was startled at first, then slapped his thigh and shouted: "You won't meet any liars!" ”

It's really similar to father and son, and the first reaction is whether or not you have met a liar. Li Dong was not easy to answer, but he still told everything one by one, including President Liu's strong support.

That seems to be true. But why did this Thunder scout find you? According to what you say, if you go to the draft a year or a few years later and are picked by other teams, isn't this Thunder or this Joe Thomas a bamboo basket? Such a loss-making transaction, I'm afraid it's not scientific! I think there are still a lot of problems, after all, pie doesn't fall from the sky......"
