Chapter 145: Journey to America (11)

Next, Li Changgeng didn't dare to continue to break through, his speed, body, and technique were not as good as Kobe, and if he played a breakthrough, he would only die miserably. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

He took out his best three-pointer, first with a fake burst, and then slammed back to shoot a three-pointer.

Kobe Bryant is tall and has long arms and amazing bounce, although Li Changgeng shot quickly, but Kobe jumped up and covered the air as a whole, Li Changgeng couldn't even see the basket, so he could only shoot by feeling, and as a result, the basketball smashed on the basket and popped out of bounds directly.

The goal was not scored, and Li Changgeng was also prepared and not annoyed.

On the sidelines of the court, everyone was not disappointed, and their minds were still flashing with the dunk that Li Changgeng had just completed on Kobe's head. Even if Li Changgeng is completely blown up next, he is proud enough to have the dunk just now.

Changed to Kobe Bryant's offense, turned over and leaned back, easily scored the ball, and won this game heads-up.

"Kobe, you're amazing." Looking at Kobe, Li Changgeng said from the bottom of his heart that although he lost to Kobe, he was not ashamed.

What's more, he deducted one on Kobe's head.

"Hehe, you're pretty good, too." Kobe Bryant also laughed, opened his arms, hugged Li Changgeng, and said with a smile: "Li, your name is Li, right?" You're the best high school player I've ever met. ”

Li Changgeng scratched his hair and smiled embarrassedly.

"I'll try." At this moment, Li Changgeng suddenly had an urgency in his heart, that is, to enter the NBA as soon as possible and compete with these cattle in the NBA.

……….

After Li Changgeng and Kobe Bryant's heads-up, Kobe Bryant no longer accepted anyone's challenge, but just accompanied everyone to practice and give everyone a few tricks.

At noon, Kobe invited everyone to have a McDonald's meal, and then everyone reluctantly said goodbye to Kobe and returned to the hotel.

At the end of today's visit, Kobe Bryant's training camp is considered a successful conclusion.

The next day, students from different countries and places said goodbye to each other and left the hotel one after another and left Los Angeles.

At Los Angeles International Airport, Xu Anya, Li Changgeng, and Sima Shenji stood together, Xu Anya hugged the two of them, and said with a smile: "You must come to Hunan Province to play with me when you have time in the future." ”

"Okay." Sima Shenji said.

"Definitely." Li Changgeng also smiled and nodded.

From Zhang Weiping's training camp to Kobe Bryant's training camp, although it has only been half a month, the three have become very good friends.

Now that it's time to separate, the three of them are a little reluctant, leaving each other's phone numbers and agreeing to contact each other often in the future.

In the end, Xu Anya looked at Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji, and said a little depressedly: "You two are actually from the same school, and you don't need to look at the rest of your school, just the two of you may be able to easily win the provincial championship and enter the national divisional competition." ”

"However, our school is not weak, and I believe that we will definitely make it to the divisional competition." Xu Anya's eyes rose with fighting spirit, "We are all in the Southern District, maybe we can meet in the division competition." At that point, I won't be releasing water. ”

"Cut." Sima Shenji pouted, "You go to the division first, and then let's release the water, do you think you are Kobe?" ”

"Hmph." Xu Anya snorted, but she wasn't really angry, "Anyway, if you meet in the divisional competition, I will definitely defeat you." ”

Li Changgeng smiled and said, "Okay, let's meet in the regional competition." ”

"It's a deal." Xu Anya nodded, Zhang Weiping over there was calling him, he was about to board the plane, so he waved his hand to Li Changgeng Sima Shenji and left with a smile.

Xu Anya and Zhang Weiping went together, first to return to Beijing, Xu Anya has an uncle in Beijing, he will stay in Beijing for a few days, and then return to Hunan Province.

Together with Sima Shenji, Li Changgeng returned to Hongcheng directly from Los Angeles International Airport.

After sending Xu Anya away, Li Changgeng picked up the phone and called Selena, and as soon as she got on the phone, Selena said: "I'm waiting for you in the bathroom, come here." ”

"Why?" Li Changgeng was a little curious, this was about to get on the plane, and Selena was still looking for him, which was a little strange.

"Just come here," Selena seemed to be angry, and roared angrily, "If you don't come, you won't come, you think I'm rare." Li Changgeng, let's see, goodbye! ”

"Good, good! I'll go. Li Changgeng hurriedly coaxed, and hung up the phone over there.

......

As soon as he reached the corner, he saw Selena standing with a tall man, looking at it, it didn't seem very young. And the two are somewhat similar, Li Changgeng can roughly judge that this should be Selena's family.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Changgeng went up, the man took off his glasses and said.

"You are Li Changgeng!"

The eyes are sharp, as if they are eating people.

Li Changgeng did not flinch, but greeted him, which attracted the disdain of the man.

"I don't care who you are or what you do, just rely on you now, Selena is not something you can contact, and you will have less contact with her in the future."

Li Changgeng was not convinced.

"Why?"

"No, swans aren't capable of being moved by a toad like you."

After the man finished speaking, he took Selena's hand and left.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you, I'm Selena's cousin!" The man didn't forget to go back and say a word.

Li Changgeng stood in place, looking at Selena's back as she left, blood oozed from his teeth, if it weren't for the mobile phone call reminding him to hurry up, I'm afraid he would have stayed here today.........

Li Changgeng returned to the starting place with a gloomy face, Sima Shenji saw that Li Changgeng was wrong, so he asked with concern, but Li Changgeng just didn't say anything, he walked with a gloomy face. It just so happened that they met an acquaintance.

In the airport hall, Li Changgeng and the others suddenly met a person they knew, but not very familiar, Los Angeles California High School scout, Jordan.

"Hi, Mr. Jordan." Sima Shenji greeted Jordan first, Jordan was the most enthusiastic one among the people who invited Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji, Sima Shenji naturally remembered, but he was still a little surprised to see Jordan here, "What a coincidence, where are you going?" ”

"No, Mr. Sima is mistaken, I'm not going anywhere, I'm here to see you off." Jordan said with a smile.

"Send us?" Sima Shenji was stunned, and Li Changgeng, who could understand English, couldn't help but be stunned at this time, he only had some impression of Jordan, knowing that he was a scout, and he didn't usually cross paths much, and their relationship with Jordan could only be regarded as a very ordinary friend, why did Jordan come to send them off?

Seeing that they were surprised, Jordan looked at Li Changgeng and made his intentions clear: "Li, I really appreciate you, although you have already rejected the invitation of our California High School in Los Angeles, I still want to make one last effort." I'm sorry that might seem abrupt, but I just wanted to talk to you in person. As he spoke, he glanced at Sima Shenji again and said, "Of course, I also admire Yu, I hope you can join Los Angeles California High School." ”

Li Changgeng nodded and didn't say anything. Now that he knows the other party's thoughts, it's time for him to go back and figure out a way.

Jordan did this a bit abruptly, but it could also express his sincerity, if it wasn't for the sincere invitation to Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji, he wouldn't be like this.

"This ......" Sima Shenji looked at Li Changgeng and found that Li Changgeng was depressed again, so he said to Jordan alone, "Mr. Jordan, I'm very sorry, Li and I have already decided." We can't come to the U.S. and we can't join Los Angeles California High School, at least not this year. ”

"Oh, what a pity." Jordan was a little disappointed, but quickly recovered, handed Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji a business card, and said: "This is my business card, if you change your attention when please contact me, I am always welcome, if you can come to me, I will definitely make you famous in the United States." ”

"Thank you." Sima Shenji thanked him repeatedly.

"Famous in the United States!" Li Changgeng's mind began to become active, but at this time, the airport urged them to leave quickly, there was no way, he got on the plane before he could ask.

Jordan watched Li Changgeng and the two board the plane below, and when the two were out of his sight, he left the airport.

"Is what he said true?" Li Changgeng said to Xiao Er on the plane.

"Yes!" Xiao Er answered truthfully. "But you don't need to be in a hurry, you can go to the CBA in the future."

"Oh!"

Li Changgeng didn't seem to be so willing to answer this time, he looked at the white clouds outside the window, thoughtful.

........

At Hongcheng International Airport, Li Changgeng's uncle and aunt, Sima Shenji's parents, Coach Tao Ran, and Meng Yao came to the airport early, waiting for the plane to land.

At half past five in the morning, the plane landed.

Seeing Li Changgeng and the two coming out of the passage, the uncle waved his hand, and the aunt took Li Changgeng's hand and looked up and down.

After a while, my aunt said with satisfaction: "I have grown stronger." ”

"Huh." Li Changgeng smiled, chatted with his uncle and aunt, and when he saw familiar people, he naturally threw some unhappiness out of the clouds, and he already had a plan, so he was not entangled. Seeing Meng Yao standing on the side dressed very formally, he couldn't help but ridicule Meng Yao.

"Yo, you're dressed so formally, isn't there a date? How's it going, I've been here for a few days, and that guy hasn't bothered you! ”

"What do you say?" Meng Yao waved her pink fist and said.

"It's really unlucky to meet a tigress like you." Li Changgeng replied with a grin.

"Begging for a beating!"

At the airport, there was a voice like this.

Just when Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji returned to the city, the California Sports Weekly also used a medium page to report that Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji won the 17-year-old Kobe training camp and the 18-year-old MVP of the age group respectively, and the title of the report was called - China Double Stars, shining Kobe Bryant training camp.

Reporter Garnett carefully concocted a piece of report, giving a key description of Li Changgeng's 25 points in a single quarter and Sima Shenji's 31 points in the whole game, accompanied by several close-up photos taken by photographer Marco. In the photo, two Chinese sword eyebrows are starry, and the momentum is flying, like sharp swords soaring into the sky.

The report caused a stir in California sports circles, and many people who had not previously noticed Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji also paid attention to the two Chinese.

And some people who are exceptionally well-informed and clever even know about Li Changgeng and Kobe Bryant's heads-up.

Although Li Changgeng was beaten by Kobe Bryant 6:1, he dunked a basket on Kobe's head, which alone was enough to surprise people.

Those who got the news were even more excited, as if they had seen a piece of gold of great value, and their eyes were shining.

It's a pity that these people didn't get excited for long before they got the news, Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji refused all the invitees, making it clear that they would not come to the United States, at least not for the time being.

As a result, those who wanted to recruit the two young Chinese lost interest, and the turmoil subsided.

Of course, that's only abroad, it's only in California, and in China, and no one knows about these things.

This is also a good thing for Li Changgeng, his life is finally back on track, and it is still summer vacation, and he is practicing every day.

"Hurry, hurry."

On the community court, Li Changgeng was running back and forth, and Xiao Er's voice sounded in his head: "Your shooting, running, and dribbling have all reached the C level, but there is still a lot of difference in other aspects." “

"Hmm." Li Changgeng nodded, and couldn't help asking, "Xiao Er, when do you think I will be able to enter the NBA?" I'm only 17 years old now, so I think I have to be 19 years old to participate in the NBA Draft, right? ”

"You've asked this no less than ten times in the past few days." Xiao Er said, "But what's the use? ”

"You should calm down now and prepare for the next provincial league."

Li Changgeng sighed, and said: "Xiao Er, with my current strength, plus Sima Shenji, it should be easy to win the provincial championship, right?" ”

"Not necessarily." Xiao Er said, "You and Sima Shenji are improving, especially you, you have made great progress, and it is almost impossible for others to progress faster than you without the help of Xiao Er like me." But don't forget, even if others are making slow progress, others are improving. Do you think you're invincible right now? ”

Without waiting for Li Changgeng to reply, Xiao Er said again: "Even if you and Sima Shenji can lead the team to win the provincial championship, is your goal only the provincial championship?" You must know that the provincial championship is only the beginning of the national competition, and there will be regional competitions, challenge competitions, and finals, how many strong teams and how many masters will there be, who can predict? ”

"Don't think that you can be invincible if you take the MVP of Kobe Bryant's training camp, the world is very big, even in China, there are still many masters. These people may or may not be famous, or they may be just beginning to emerge, just like you. ”

"But many people, in fact, are very strong, if you take it lightly, you will lose very badly in the national arena in the future."

After listening to Xiao Er, Li Changgeng was already sweating profusely.

"Little Er, I understand." Li Changgeng said solemnly, "Don't worry, I won't be arrogant." ”

"Well, let's train well." Xiao Er said. (To be continued.) )
