He was not surprised by Sima Shenji's choice, because to go to UCLA, he needed to take the entrance exam, and it was not an unrestricted special admission. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Don't look at Sima Shenji School, it's okay, but as soon as you go abroad, it's scum.

Sima Shenji naturally knew this, so he didn't think about it for long before he made a decision, it wasn't that he didn't want to go, but he couldn't help it.

In this regard, Li Changgeng is much better than Sima Shenji.

Li Changgeng's grades have been very good, after getting the "little two", under the supervision of the little two, he has been making preparations before the country, there is a super coach of the little two, he can ask for advice both in basketball and in learning, Li Changgeng himself is also very smart, and he learns quickly.

Therefore, although he is only a sophomore in high school, he is actually no worse than a junior in high school or even an ordinary college student in terms of knowledge.

What's more, he is a basketball specialty, and the score requirements for participating in the increased entrance exam are not as high as those of ordinary high school students, so it should be easy to pass.

"......Huh" Huang Jingao and Wang Xianba breathed a sigh of relief, the two glanced at each other, and immediately agreed with Sima Shenji that tomorrow they would go to Sima Shenji's house to find him, sign some documents, and look at the impatient posture, Li Changgeng couldn't help but laugh secretly, this is for fear that Sima Shenji will regret it!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Sima Shenji also put forward some conditions, and Huang Jingao and Wang Xianba naturally agreed.

Of course, Sima Shenji didn't expect the two to be completely satisfied, after all, the Basketball Association was not the two of them who had the final say. But at least there is one benefit, that is, if there is any difficulty in the future, you can find Huang Jingao and Wang Xianba, they will be happy to promise at this time, and it will be difficult to say that they will not help at that time, right?

Sima Shenji got it done here, Huang Jingao and Wang Xianba looked at Li Changgeng, both happy for Li Changgeng, but also felt a little regretful, Wang Xianba said: "Since it's NCAA, then I won't stop you." Well, the level of the NCAA is still quite high, you have to work hard, don't embarrass us Chinese. ”

"Hmm." Li Changgeng smiled, "I'm not going to make soy sauce." ”

"Hehe......" Huang Jingao and Wang Xianba were also amused by Li Changgeng's words, the two no longer persuaded them, and Li Changgeng said a few words, telling Li Changgeng that if they changed their minds, they could call them at any time, and then the two waved their hands and turned to leave.

In the final analysis, they still hope that Li Changgeng can enter the national youth team, but the level of the NCAA is no worse than that of the national youth team, and there is an advantage as an NBA talent pool.

Waiting for Huang Jingao and Wang Xianba to walk away, Sima Shenji said: "When is the news, why didn't you tell me?" He was asking about the NCAA.

"I also received a call from Xiaoli in the morning, and I plan to tell you at noon." Li Changgeng spread his hands.

"Forget it." Sima Shenji waved his hand and said depressedly: "I can't go anyway, you know, my grades can't pass at all." ”

This is a fact, but Li Changgeng is not good at hitting Sima Shenji, so after thinking about it, he said: "Actually, going to NCAA this time is not as good as I imagined." ”

"Huh?" Sima Shenji was stunned.

Li Changgeng said: "There is no guarantee over there, only a basketball scholarship is promised, and others such as the main position, playing time, these have to be fought for by yourself." ”

Sima Shenji frowned: "That's really a bit troublesome, in such a place, it's not easy for us Chinese to come out." ”

"Hmm." Li Changgeng nodded and didn't say much.

In fact, it is indeed very troublesome, and now Li Changgeng has just got a chance to enter, whether he can be recognized and play is still unknown.

Anyone who is uncertain about this kind of uncertain thing will feel uncomfortable, but Li Changgeng believes that he will be able to stand firm with his own ability.

......

The next day, Huang Jingao and Wang Xianba signed an agreement with Sima Shenji, and Sima Shenji officially became a member of the national youth team, and will soon enter the national youth team and participate in the training camp of the national youth team.

And Li Changgeng also got the exact news, the time of the trip has been arranged, and in a few days, Xiaoli will accompany him to increase.

Because the whereabouts of Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji have been determined, there is no need for the two to take the college entrance examination, so they have already asked the school for leave, so they can not go to school.

However, the training with Nongguang every day did not fall behind, and there were still a few days to go, Li Changgeng wanted to teach them more things, and Sima Shenji also wanted to stay with his brothers more.

Therefore, in the past few days, the Hongcheng team has been training late every day, Lu Feng, Sima Shenji, Amu, Long Xiaotian...... A group of people also simply followed Li Changgeng and them to practice, and they would train until about ten o'clock in the evening every day, but none of them had ever called half a bitter word.

Brother, goodbye, time is not much, everyone cherishes it!

Two days before going abroad, Li Changgeng clearly felt the strangeness around him, every time he went to school for training, many people would greet him, some people would come up to chat with him, and some girls would give him some small gifts to take care of him.

Everyone knew he was leaving, and it was going abroad.

Feeling everyone's intentions, Li Changgeng almost burst into tears more than once, and wanted to change his mind more than once, but in the end he held back.

He has to go bigger, he has to do what he has to do, that's his dream, it's the way he has to go, and he can't back down.

On this day, Li Changgeng trained with his teammates until late as usual and went home directly.

Two days have passed in a blink of an eye, and Li Changgeng is finally leaving China.

The plane was ten o'clock in the morning, but Li Changgeng was urged by his parents, and the family arrived at the airport at one o'clock after eight o'clock, and after waiting for a while, Xiaoli also arrived.

"Xiaoli, we will hand over Li Changgeng to you, I'm sorry for you." Uncle said as he shook Xiaoli's hand.

"Hehe, don't worry." Xiaoli smiled, "I'll help Li Changgeng settle everything over there, and Jordan over there will also help take care of him, don't worry." ”

"Hmm." Uncle nodded, looked at Li Changgeng, and told him a few words, looking at his adult nephew, he was both relieved and a little reluctant in his heart.

Although the nephew is older, after all, he has never left his side for more than ten years, and he suddenly separated, and he went to the distant United States, where can the uncle not worry?

On the side, the aunt's eyes were red when she was already crying, and she said that her son was a piece of meat that fell from her mother's body, and her son was going to travel far away, she was the saddest, and kept telling Li Changgeng to listen to Xiaoli when he got there, and to take care of himself at ordinary times, don't catch a cold, don't be naughty, etc.

It took half an hour for a few people to calm down, and Li Changgeng promised his uncle and aunt that he would come back to see them as long as they were on holiday, so that they could rest assured.

……..

When Li Changgeng returned to the hall, he saw that there were many more people around his parents, Tao Ran, Lu Feng, Nongguang, Nongguang, Sima Shenji, Amu, Long Xiaotian...... A group of people in the city team.

"Why are you here?" Seeing a group of brothers, Li Changgeng was very happy, stepped forward, and called Tao Ran respectfully, "Coach." ”

"Hmm." Tao Ran smiled and said, "We're here to see you off." With that, he stepped aside and left time for a group of young people.

A group of young people gathered around and chatted for a while, and the registration time came.

Li Changgeng waved with everyone and followed Xiaoli into the boarding gate, and soon the plane took off, carrying him to the distant United States and another life.

......

The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) is a public research university located in the Westwood District of Los Angeles, California, founded in 1919, and is one of the top comprehensive universities in the United States. The school is ranked among the best in both the United States and international university rankings, and its academic standards are absolutely world-class. The school offers more than 5,000 courses each year, and many of the teachers are founders in the field. In terms of professional rankings, the school has 31 majors in the top 20 in the national professional rankings, of which 13 majors are ranked in the top 10. Five professors and five alumni have won Nobel Prizes. With approximately 28,000 undergraduate and 12,000 graduate students enrolled, it is the largest university in the United States. It is the second university in the University of California system, along with UC Berkeley.

Don't look at this school, the school is not bad, it won the NCAA championship in 2007, and it is also a veritable strong team, but it has declined in recent years, so it has little strength to enter the final four, but it is also a strong team in the NCAA.

After nearly 17 hours of flight, Li Changgeng and Xiaoli finally arrived at Los Angeles International Airport, and the person who came to pick them up was Jordan.

"Hi, Lily, Li, here." Seeing Li Changgeng and Xiaoli coming out of the exit, Jordan suddenly waved his arms happily and shouted.

He was still dressed in a suit and carrying a handbag, and it was clear that today was not a day off for him.

"Hi Jordan." Xiaoli and Jordan hugged each other and said with a smile, "Thank you for coming to pick us up, my friend." ”

"You're welcome, this is what I'm supposed to do." Jordan said humbly, then looked at Li Changgeng, hugged him, and said, "Xiaoli, welcome." ”

"Thank you." Li Changgeng smiled and said, "I'm very happy to see you, Mr. Jordan." ”

After saying hello, Jordan took the two of them into the car.

In the car, he told Li Changgeng and Sima Shenji that the two could take a break in the car, and he was now driving to the University of California, Los Angeles, so that he could take Li Changgeng to report for duty.

Li Changgeng and Xiaoli thanked each other, then closed their eyes and rested.

......

When he came to the University of California, Los Angeles, Li Changgeng was suddenly shocked, and when he looked up, he saw the magnificent school gate, which was extraordinary, and a strong college atmosphere came to his face, which made people's mood seem to become calm all of a sudden.

Entering the school, there are patches of vegetation, full of retro-style red European-style buildings, and students of different skin tones are shuttling around the campus, or in groups of three or five, or walking alone, or talking in a low voice, or walking in a hurry, so that Li Changgeng is overwhelmed.

He had never been to a university, let alone a university like UCLA, and everything he saw felt fresh and full of curiosity.

Ten minutes later, Jordan took Li Changgeng to the registration point, completed the registration, received some things, handed them to Li Changgeng and said: "Xiaoli, although you have already registered, you are not yet a UCLA student, tomorrow the school will arrange for you to take the exam, and you can only enter the school after passing the exam." ”

"Then when will you report to the city team?" Li Changgeng asked.

"It's also after the exam." Jordan said, looking at Li Changgeng with some concern, "Xiaoli, you should have no problem taking the exam, right?" ”

"Don't worry, no problem." Li Changgeng smiled confidently.

After that, Jordan took Li Changgeng and Xiaoli to leave UCLA, today they need to stay in a hotel, and wait until tomorrow Li Changgeng will finish the exam, and the day after tomorrow will get the results. At that time, if Li Changgeng passes, then the school will arrange a dormitory for him, and he will not have to live in a hotel.

......

The next day, Jordan took Li Changgeng to the school for the exam, and Xiaoli didn't have to go, so she stayed in the hotel.

The exams abroad are not the same as those in China, but Li Changgeng has a strong adaptability, and the second child has already reviewed for him, which is not difficult, and he has completed the exam soon.

After the exam, Jordan didn't ask Li Changgeng how he did in the exam, which was a little different from the people in China, but took Li Changgeng and called Xiaoli, drove the two for a ride, and introduced the two to various places of interest in Los Angeles by the way.

The three of them didn't return to the hotel until the evening, where Li Changgeng couldn't ask for Chinese food, so he had a Western meal with Jordan.

Frankly speaking, Li Changgeng felt that the taste was not very good, and he was a little unaccustomed to putting cream on many things, as well as olive oil. He even thought that he didn't know if the school allowed him to cook by himself, and if he could, he would simply cook his own Chinese food in the future.

After eating, Li Changgeng still couldn't hold back, and asked Jordan curiously: "Jordan, why didn't you ask me how I was doing with the exam, but instead took me around to play, aren't you worried?" If I fail the exam, everything you've done will be in vain. ”

After listening, Jordan shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Xiaoli, the exam is over, what can't I change without asking?" What I think is that if you pass the test, then taking you to play for an afternoon this afternoon will be a reward for you, and if you haven't taken the test, it will be considered a comfort, isn't it? ”

Li Changgeng couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and it took a while to react, and he couldn't help but sigh that the cultural differences between China and foreign countries really have a great impact, and even the views on the exam are different.

The next morning, Li Changgeng got his report card, with a score of 1769, far exceeding the score set by the school.

Jordan was also taken aback when he saw this score, looking at Li Changgeng as if he were looking at a monster, he fussed and shouted: "My God, Xiaoli, you are really a genius, not only in basketball, but also in learning, it's incredible." ”

It's no wonder that Jordan was surprised, because generally speaking, the results of a good basketball game are not too good, at least not as good as Li Changgeng.

What's more, Jordan knows that Li Changgeng is only a sophomore in high school this year, and he is still Chinese!

"Xiaoli, I dare say, you are the best in the UCLA basketball team, there is no one." Jordan said very firmly, in a very good mood. After all, Li Changgeng played basketball well and his results were so good, and he also felt very face-saving as an introducer.

After passing the exam, the dormitory was allocated in the afternoon, and Li Changgeng chose the dormitory in the school, one room for two people, with a separate bathroom.

Of course, UCLA also has better dormitories, that is, off-campus dormitories, which can also be said to be off-campus apartments, with one bedroom and one living room, two bedrooms and one living room, three bedrooms and one living room, etc., which are basically the same as the apartments outside, which are much better than those in the school. Of course, the price is also very expensive, and Li Changgeng is not so tyrant, so he doesn't think about that.

For him, playing is the first thing, and he doesn't pay much attention to food and accommodation.

The dormitory was divided, Jordan and Xiaoli helped Li Changgeng move the salute to the dormitory, his other roommate was not there, and Li Changgeng didn't see anyone, so he put his things away and cleaned up at night.

"Let's go."

After putting the things away, Li Changgeng followed Jordan to the arena, and Jordan wanted to take Li Changgeng to the basketball team to report and meet Coach Carl and his teammates on the basketball team.

......

UCLA's basketball team is called the Bruins, the full name is the UCLA Bruins, and the home arena is called the PauleyPavilion, which is a stadium that can accommodate more than 10,000 people to watch the game at the same time.

As a traditional NCAA powerhouse, they have only one goal, and that is to win the championship.

Now with two months to go before the NCAA starts, the Bruins have already started intense training under the guidance of their coach. With a few good players recruited this year, and several veterans who are maturing day by day, the coach has reason to believe that the Bruins can go far in this year's NCAA.

It's a pity that what worries him is that the team lacks a soul figure, a player who can lead the Bruins to the championship!

"Keep up, keep up, switch fast, defense may not be the only thing to win, but it's an essential part, you know?" In the stadium, Coach Meigello crossed his waist and shouted loudly to the sweaty players on the field, very serious.

Beside him, two assistant coaches were carefully recording the training with notebooks for Meigello to analyze.

With a "squeak", the door of the stadium was pushed open, Meigello frowned, turned to look, and saw that it was Jordan, he frowned, and shouted with a smile: "Jordan, I thought you would come in the morning, but I didn't expect you to start being lazy." ”

"Hehe, I'm not lazy, I'm going to help Xiaoli arrange a dormitory." Jordan took Li Changgeng forward and introduced Li Changgeng, "Xiaoli, this is Coach Meigello." After speaking, he also introduced to Meigello, "Coach Meigello, this is what I said about Li Changgeng." ”

"Hello." Meigello held out his hand.

"Coach Megello, it's a pleasure to meet you." Li Changgeng also stretched out his hand, and at the same time looked at the old man in front of him who looked to be in his fifties and his hair was gray. This is a typical white American man, tall, with blond hair and piercing eyes.

Meigello is also looking at Li Changgeng, he has seen Li Changgeng from the information given by Jordan, the game video, but it is completely different from face-to-face, estimating Li Changgeng's height, he frowned slightly, because Li Changgeng's height is only more than one meter eight.

For Megello, the Asian players he is familiar with are all big men, such as Yao Ming, roughly, Yi Jianlian, either a center or a big forward, with almost no defenders.

But Li Changgeng is only a little more than 1.8 meters, and he is obviously a defender, and he can only be a defender, which makes Meigello feel bottomless.

The thought in his heart turned, and Meigello decided to test Li Changgeng first, so he shouted at the players who were training: "Stop for a while, come here." ”

There were eleven people in total, and they quickly ran over.

"Let me introduce you to you, this is your new teammate, Li Changgeng!" Meigello read Li Changgeng's name a little awkwardly and introduced it to a group of people.

Looking at these eleven people, Li Changgeng smiled and said, "Hello, you can call me Xiaoli, I know my name is very awkward for you." ”

He thought that this would be a good start, a humorous opening remark, but none of the eleven people on the other side smiled, but just glanced at him lightly, their eyes revealed a thick contempt and unshavenness, which made Li Changgeng sigh in his heart.

"I said, do you want me to introduce yourself for you?" Meigello glared at the crowd.

These people were still very afraid of Meigello, and they didn't dare to refute it, and began to introduce themselves one by one, of course, very concise and perfunctory, with only one name.

After listening, Li Changgeng had already memorized these eleven people, he had a good memory, and he soon matched the name with the person.

"Alright, let's have an intra-team practice match." Meigello was not verbose either, and went straight to the point, "Xiaoli, you are in Group A, and Mike, Harrison, Frank, and Larry are on the same team." You play point guard, by the way, have you ever played point guard before? ”

"I've played, I've been a point guard." Li Changgeng said.

Meigello nodded, nodded five more men as Group B, and then announced the start of the game, with the assistant coach blowing the referee and he watching from the sidelines.

Jordan was not in a hurry to leave, but sat down next to Megello, and he also wanted to see if Li Changgeng could quickly integrate into the team. He has no doubt about Li Changgeng's strength, but whether he can integrate into the team is a huge test for Li Changgeng.

If Li Changgeng has this strength, then he will definitely be able to fuse, if not, then everything is in vain, so this time it is completely Li Changgeng's personal performance.
