Chapter 33: Excessive Demands

"This classmate is Li Quan, right?"

Seeing Li Quan walk in, Coach Zhang immediately got up, stretched out his hand with a smile: "Introduce myself, my surname is Zhang, and I am the head coach of our provincial basketball team." I watched your game, it was very exciting! The young man has a bright future. How about it, are you interested in playing in a professional team? ”

Several provincial leaders next to him have a strange face, Lao Zhang is famous for his iron and iron face, he usually doesn't pretend to be a color to anyone, and when he sees his direct leaders, he can ignore them, and he is even more cruel to his subordinate team members. However, he was very polite to the young man in front of him, and was obviously very optimistic about him.

Li Quan shook hands with Coach Zhang, and before he could speak, Vice Principal Tan preemptively smiled and said, "Li Quan can be favored by the leaders, which is the honor of our entire No. 3 Middle School education." Being able to play in the provincial professional basketball team is a dream pursued by many students, and it is also a rare opportunity. On behalf of all the teachers and students of No. 3 Middle School, I would like to thank the leaders for their good cultivation of our students. ”

When the official said that's it, Vice Principal Tan turned his head to look at Li Quan with a smile: "So, classmate Li Quan, what do you mean?" ”

What Li Quan didn't expect was that it was the provincial professional team coach who came down today. When he came, he thought the school wanted him to join the varsity team.

If he wants to become a professional athlete if he wants to play in a professional team, he has to think about it.

If nothing else, first of all, professional athletes need to train for a long time every day, which can seriously squeeze the time traveled. This is something that Li Quan could not agree to no matter what.

As if "knowing" what Li Quan was worried about, Coach Zhang said to Li Quan kindly: "Li Quan, you can rest assured that entering the professional team is only good for you, and there is no harm." If you take 10,000 steps back and enter a professional team, many prestigious universities will extend olive branches to you. I understand that I was busy with my studies in high school, and I was very busy with time in order to cope with the college entrance examination. But that's okay. I can tell you in charge that as long as you come, which university you want to go to, we can get an admission letter. Even Peking University and Tsinghua University are negotiable. ”

Coach Zhang felt that he had said it very bluntly, and he thought that Li Quan was worried that playing would take up study time, and he was afraid of delaying his study. Of course, Li Quan will not explain.

Vice President Tan immediately said: "Li Quan, don't worry, the school will fully support the work of the provincial team, and we will take the initiative to help you contact famous universities." ”

This is not bragging, a professional athlete with results is about honor, various interests, and celebrity effects, and many famous universities will rush to ask for it.

If Li Quan can be admitted to a prestigious university, this will also be a dazzling achievement for the third middle school. Vice President Tan will spare no effort to facilitate this matter.

Both the provincial team and the school made a clear statement, Li Quan thought about it, and he was not hypocritical, and directly put forward his opinion.

"I can play in the provincial team." Li Quan's first sentence made Coach Zhang's face bloom.

But then Li Quan said: "But in fact, my dream is not to become a professional athlete. ”

"Uh, what do you mean by Li Quan......?" Coach Zhang was stunned and asked.

"I can play in the provincial team, but I don't spend a lot of time training with the team. That's my only condition. If the leaders agree, it's fine. Li Quan said what he thought.

The provincial leaders and school leaders present could not help but be stunned. Some people's faces had sunk.

"You mean, don't train, just play?" Coach Zhang asked.

"That's right." Li Quan nodded.

He didn't want to waste all his time on pointless training. His strength comes from the strengthening of his physical fitness by the essence of plants, and his ball skills come from the perverted imitation and adaptability of the strengthened body. Instead of having him go to training, let him watch a few NBA games.

"Just playing, not training? There has never been such a precedent. A leader of the Provincial Sports Bureau couldn't hold his breath and said. He was obviously not satisfied with Li Quan's request.

"Indeed, if you don't participate in training, how can you be in shape to play? Isn't that nonsense. Another provincial leader said.

The others also looked different and shook their heads. I was thinking in my heart: After all, I am a young person, and if I have some achievements, I will be proud, which is very important.

Vice President Tan was anxious when he saw it, and hurriedly played a round and said, "Leaders, don't be impatient. Li Quan may not know much about some of the requirements of professional players. We can tell him more about it. He may have had some misunderstandings. "I also complained a little about Li Quan, what requirements were not good, and I actually proposed not to participate in the training. How is it possible that professional players don't train, they only play.

However, Li Quan didn't care what these people thought. In his opinion, being able to come down and personally inspect the level of a high school student, the so-called leadership authority of the Sports Bureau is not very high. He can't afford this kind of so-called leadership, but there's no need to care too much. Li Quan knew that the real decision here was Coach Zhang in front of him.

Looking at his expression, Coach Zhang was hesitating.

After thinking about it, Li Quan added: "Even if I don't participate in training, I can guarantee that I will not give up playing, and I will usually find time to maintain my condition." If I'm allowed to play, I can guarantee that I'll be able to play at least the level I did today. As I said, my dream is not to be a basketball player, but I am not averse to playing. That's my only request. If not, forget it. ”

Having said this, Li Quan has already made his attitude clear.

Vice Principal Tan glared, but he was helpless against Li Quan. Li Quan made it clear that he didn't want to be an athlete, and the school couldn't force him to be a professional athlete. I think it's been in vain, and the school's honor this time is out of play.

The leaders on both sides were shaking their heads, and it was obvious what they meant.

Coach Zhang was still silent.

Li Quan waited for him to reply without saying a word. For him, it doesn't matter if he succeeds or not. Agreeing to play is only a means to skip class. If you say it, you will be beaten to death by Vice Principal Tan.

So many people take things seriously, you kid just want to skip class?

Now it's up to Coach Zhang's courage.

Li Quan also knew that the request he made was actually very excessive. How can a professional player not participate in training, no matter how big you are, you don't participate in team training, and you are directly kicked away without discussion. Li Quan is just confident, and he is confident that his performance has the weight in the mind of Coach Zhang. He believes that if the other party has the courage, he will make an exception for him and bet on this.

Li Quan guessed right.

Coach Zhang was also hesitating in his heart. There is no precedent for Li Quan's request, but the rules are set by man. Li Quan's performance in the video and what he saw with his own eyes has long made him covet. The perverted physical fitness shown by Li Quan will not be unclear with Coach Zhang's professional eyes. Otherwise, he would not have proposed to let Li Quan play professional games as soon as he opened his mouth, but advanced second-tier team training.

Coach Zhang is optimistic about Li Quan's potential. The most important thing in basketball is physical fitness. Domestic athletes are not much worse than those blacks in the NBA in terms of skills and tactics, and what is too much worse is physical fitness. This is the limit of human race, and there is no way to do it.

Now that I have seen a good seedling with such excellent physical fitness, and the skills and ball sense shown on the court are absolutely at the first-class level, Coach Zhang will not give up no matter what.

Again, the rules are set by people. After weighing the gains and losses, Coach Zhang thought that he could propose to break this example. is the so-called special case, for such a promising seedling, what is the exception?

Thinking of this, Coach Zhang laughed, patted Li Quan on the shoulder with a smile, and said, "Young people, it's normal to have a personality." Well, I agreed to your request. However, I also have a request. ”

The other leaders were very surprised, but they didn't expect that Coach Zhang, who has always been iron-faced and selfless, would agree to this kid's unreasonable request. Is the sun coming out of the west? The leaders' eyes widened one by one. Vice President Tan was stunned for a moment, and he was even more overjoyed.

"You say." Li Quan nodded.

"Next month, the preliminary round of CUBA will begin. I will propose to the province to let you participate in a university team in the province. This game will star as your first fight. You need to prove to me, and to others, that you are at your own level and deserve the special treatment that is given to you. Coach Zhang said that although he has no problem here, he must also give an explanation to the leaders above. Coach Zhang hopes to use Li Quan's performance in the official game to convince the leaders to agree to Li Quan's special treatment.

"That's fine." Li Quan simply agreed.

"Okay, that's it. You leave your phone number and I'll get back to you later. Coach Zhang said with a smile. In any case, the purpose of his visit this time has been achieved, and the harvest is beyond imagination.

"That's it, let's go." The provincial leaders then took their leave and left.

Seeing off a group of provincial leaders and standing at the school gate, Li Quan looked at Vice Principal Tan and said with a smile: "Principal, I still have something to trouble you." ”

"Tell me about it." Vice President Tan was in a good mood and said with a kind smile.

"I want to take some time off from time to time."

"Oh, that's easy to say." Vice Principal Tan immediately agreed with a smile, "You can play with peace of mind, don't worry about the rest." The school will fully support you. ”

Well, the reasons for taking leave are all saved. "Then thank you, Headmaster." Li Quan said with a smile.

Vice Principal Tan thought for a while and said in a consultative tone: "Li Quanna, you see, our school also participates in the city's high school sports meeting every year, and the best result of our school's basketball team is only the eighth place in the city. Look, if you have the energy, can you represent our school in a sports day this year? You can rest assured that it will not be long and will not delay your studies. ”

"Of course, no problem, bring glory to the school." The other party was kind, and Li Quan also climbed the pole and played two more games.

"Okay, that's it!" Vice President Tan was flushed. With Li Quan joining the school team, the No. 3 Middle School in this year's Municipal Games will definitely be able to get a good ranking. The three principals of the school, he is in charge of sports, and the results of the school team are counted on his head. Therefore, the more Vice Principal Tan looked at Li Quan, the more he felt that this kid was pleasing to the eye.

Back in the classroom, Li Quan listened to two geography and history lessons in the afternoon, which made Li Quan drowsy. simply skipped class and went home, anyway, now that he has a chicken feather that can be used as an arrow, he is not afraid of what Lao Xue will say.

As soon as I left the school gate with my backpack on my back, my mobile phone rang.

Li Quan saw that it was an unfamiliar number, thought about it, and still took it.

"Hey, who's coming?"

"Is it Li Quan?" It was a female voice on the phone.

"You are?"

"I'm Qi Cheng. Hello. Do you have time, let's find a place to sit? I'm in for a treat. ”

Li Quan was stunned. Who is Qi Cheng? Oh. Immediately remembered. Isn't this the family of the car accident patient I met when I went to the central hospital that day, by the way, the other party still owes him 30,000 yuan for the potion, I don't know if the call came. As soon as he came back from World of Warcraft, he rushed to the school to play the game, and he didn't have time to check it yet.

Do you want a treat? Li Quan looked at the time, it was only half past two in the afternoon. After thinking about it, there is nothing else, since there are beautiful women to invite dinner, of course I want to go. So he agreed, "Okay." Where to? ”

"Where are you now? I'll pick you up in my car. The voice on the other side seemed to be very happy.

"I'm at the school gate."

"School? Are you still a student? The other side said in surprise.

"Am I not like that?" Li Quan smiled, "I'm still in my second year of high school." Well, if it's convenient for you, pick me up at the bus stop opposite the No. 3 Middle School in the city. ”

"Yo, it's still a key high school. Then you wait, I'll be there soon. Qi Cheng said with a smile. She had long guessed that Li Quan was not a doctor, but she didn't expect that he was still a student.
