Chapter 59: Frustration

It's still Lower River Street.

After class, Gao Dazhuang made a phone call to Coach Aaron McCarthy, originally intending to go to the Parkin Club to find Coach McCarthy, but on the phone, Coach Aaron McCarthy suggested that the meeting place be changed to the "Forrest Gump" tea house.

The bluestone slab street where the setting sun shines shows a quaint style.

There was a teapot on the black and shiny thick Eight Immortals table, and the tall Zhuang and Yang Kai were walking on the Taishi chair without restraint.

Coach McCarthy had just arrived on the second floor, and the sharp-eyed tall man hurriedly stood up and greeted, "Coach, here."

Coach McCarthy smiled and walked straight over.

"Coach, this is my teammate, Yang Kai," the tall and strong man said to Yang Kai, who was sitting on the side and in danger.

"Well, a point guard with a lot of impact" Coach McCarthy's nod of praise made Yang Kai ecstatic.

Coach McCarthy turned his head to look at Gao Dazhuang and said, "Tell us about your gains from this training camp, right?" ”

"It's been a lot, Coach O'Connor is a very professional coach, and I have been personally mentored by Yi Jianlian. Of course, the most important thing is that I am asking you today, I hope to play professional basketball, and we hope to go to Parklane Basketball Club for a trial," Gao Dazhuang pulled Yang Kai and said solemnly to Coach McCarthy.

"Yes, coach, we very much hope to go to the Parklane basketball team for a tryout, and hope that the coach can give us a chance" Yang Kai also immediately stated his position.

To the surprise of the tall man, Coach McCarthy just quietly took a sip of tea.

Tall and strong suddenly had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, Coach McCarthy said, "I'm no longer the head coach of Parklane Basketball Club."

"Ah, Coach," the tall man looked shocked.

"I terminated my contract with the club today, and I was replaced by South Korean coach Park Myung-so, but it doesn't matter, the most important thing is that you decide to play professional basketball, I look forward to your blockbuster, although I am no longer the head coach, but I will recommend you to the club and give you a chance to try" Coach McCarthy said with a slightly wry smile.

"Why is this happening?" The tall man asked puzzled.

"The team's results have reached the club's expectations, the club has nothing to blame for doing so, I will go back to the United States tomorrow, I will help you contact the tryout, whether I am at Parklane Basketball Club or not, you have to stick to your choice, your potential is huge, you will eventually become a great athlete" Coach McCarthy looked at the tall and strong and said with concern.

"I think you're a very good coach," Gao Dazhuang said indignantly.

"Hehe, there is a saying in China that the world has a feast, we have to look forward, I have lived very well and happily in China in the past few years, but I have not taken care of my family, go back to rest and rest, I will return to China again if I have the opportunity, of course, I also welcome you to the United States" McCarthy coach happily stopped the tall and strong scratch.

That night, Gao Dazhuang, Yang Kai and Coach McCarthy chatted happily about basketball, but there was still sadness in talking, Gao Dazhuang was very difficult to give up to Coach McCarthy, who was also a teacher and friend, but life is like this.

Coach McCarthy is gone, back to his native United States, and Coach McCarthy still remembers the scene when Coach McCarthy turned around and waved at him.

Although Coach McCarthy recommended Gao Dazhuang and Yang Kai to the Parking Basketball Club, Gao Dazhuang and Yang Kai did not get the opportunity to try out after all.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, with the departure of Coach McCarthy, his words also lost their effect at Parkin Basketball Club.

Although the Parklink Basketball Club sent a scout surnamed Huang to inspect Gao Dazhuang and Yang Kai, he was not on the court, and he didn't even see Gao Dazhuang's face, but said by phone that the team was making personnel adjustments recently, and under normal circumstances, it would not consider recruiting new players, and could only wait for the next opportunity.

But the scout turned around and said that it wasn't completely out of the ordinary, but that coordination was needed.

Gao Dazhuang frowned, and the scout openly hinted that Gao Dazhuang needed to be dotted on the phone, and Gao Dazhuang's impression of the club suddenly plummeted.

Gao Dazhuang, who was already very dissatisfied with the dismissal of Coach McCarthy, resolutely refused the scout's request, which led to Gao Dazhuang's plan to try out the Parklane Basketball Club.

But fortunately, at the beginning of the new semester, the CUBA National Championship is about to start, and the tall and strong do not bother in this, the most important thing at this stage is to help the team achieve good results in the CUBA National Competition.

On the first day of the resumption of training for the basketball team of Hunan University, Coach Liu Qing smiled and shook hands with the players one by one, especially when shaking hands with Gao Dazhuang, his face was full of appreciation, and there was no doubt that Gao Dazhuang occupied a dominant position in the team with his own strength.

Before the start of the training camp, Coach Liu Qing put forward the team's goal for this competition: to reach the national semifinals.

The best record in the history of Hunan University is that it won the national semi-finals in the first CUBA, and several players of the Hunan University basketball team entered the professional basketball world, which can be called a generation of legends of the Hunan University basketball team.

Now, the team finally has the opportunity to challenge their seniors, and everyone is very excited, and the training starts with enthusiasm.

Sweat, yelling, and basketball are intertwined, and every player is fully engaged in training.

After a holiday of recuperation, Liang Wei, the captain of the Hunan University basketball team and the main center, finally recovered from his injury and maintained a high level of competition.

Coach Liu Qing deliberately put Gao Dazhuang and Liang Wei in a group in training, and the tall and strong position also has a center to transform into a big forward.

In fact, during the cuba divisional competition, Coach Liu Qing knew very well that Gao Dazhuang had defects in height, but his sports and projection ability were very prominent, but at that time, he hesitated to be the main center Liang Wei's absence due to injury, and Gao Dazhuang was not allowed to continue to play as a big forward.

Now with the return of Liang Wei, Coach Liu Qing is bound to carry out a formation experiment, and it has been proved that Gao Dazhuang as the main big forward has enriched the team's tactics.

Liang Wei's skills are solid, his surname is calm, and his tall and strong skills are outstanding and full of firepower.

The two partners are a wonderful pair, and Coach Liu Qing is full of hope for the CUBA National Championship when he looks at the two who are training seriously.

And what surprised Coach Liu Qing was not only the tall and strong, but also the recent changes that have occurred silently in Yang Kai, who is also a freshman, full of impact, and Yang Kai, who has the spirit of desperate Sanlang, also successfully entered the team's starting lineup, and it is also a sharp knife on the guard line, and the cooperation with the tall and strong inside and outside is also becoming more and more tacit.

On the training ground, Yang Kai was rushing forward with a high-speed dribble, turning his back to dodge Deng Fei's defense, and then making a fierce pass to the ground, and the basketball passed between Wang Hai's legs.

The tall and strong man who cut into the interior in time received the ball with both hands, and turned 180 degrees directly on the spot to dunk.

"Bang dang" In Hu Ze's surprised gaze, the tall man smashed the ball into the basket.

After the goal, Gao Dazhuang hugged Yang Kai and whispered: "We must enter the professional team with our strength."

"Well, definitely" Yang Kai turned his head to look at the tall, strong and resolute face, and replied fiercely.

"Okay, defend," the tall roared loudly.

Liang Wei looked at the tall and strong man in a brave state, and couldn't help but smile and nodded, secretly thinking, "He is the backbone of this team now, okay, let me help you achieve greater results."

"Smack", Liang Wei covered a layup by the substitute with rich experience, and after grabbing the basketball with one hand, Liang Wei roared: "Da Zhuang".

Then the ball was thrown forward violently, and the instant explosiveness of the tall and strong was fully revealed, and soon he showed off alone, second only to the tall and strong Yang Kai.

Tall and strong receives a pass and makes an empty basket.

"Such a scene will often appear in the national competition, and we are coming" Coach Liu Qing couldn't hide his excitement in his heart.
