Chapter 2 Oklahoma Cowboys
"Yes, who are you?"
An Asian man with a vicissitudes of face walked out of the house. He was Cao Xiaochuan's father Cao Zhongtian. His previous sad experiences have now turned into the mark of wind and frost and are engraved on his face. The Cao family, who came to the United States to flee at the beginning, never expected that the life they lived after they came would be more difficult than staying in the country. In the territory of the Americans, not only had to worry about food and clothing, but they would be bullied by the Americans wherever they went. The most difficult period before was really worse than death.
However, there is no place in the world to buy regret medicine, and now that the hard days are coming to an end, his son who loves basketball can really make a name for himself by relying on basketball. This is something Cao Zhongtian never expected. Although this broken place at home is inconvenient to exchange information from the outside world, it does not prevent him from knowing how popular Cao Xiaochuan is now. Almost all famous schools in the United States have called their homes one by one, and all the things he said are asked his son to study in their school, and the conditions offered are better than the other. The tuition fee is free of charge and degree is the basic conditions. Many famous schools have made many conditions that were impossible to negotiate in the past. Some schools even bribed themselves privately, which is a bit interesting.
"That's good. I'm the coach of the University of Oklahoma Cowboys, Travis Ford. I came here today to visit you and your son. Is Cao Xiaochuan at home now?"
Cao Zhongtian looked at the fat old man in a suit and tie at the door with his eyes, and then looked at the BMW that was standing at the door of his yard. People who could wear this outfit and drive such a luxury car should not appear in their town, otherwise they would definitely provoke those crazy criminals, pointing guns at your head and letting you hand over all the money in your wallet, although now no gangster dares to make trouble at their doorstep.
This is also due to Cao Xiaochuan's reputation. At this moment, even the idiotic people here know that the Asian guy is about to soar to the sky. Even if the black man who was unhappy in the past was too late to curry favor with him. In order to "get the truth to the gods and go to heaven", how could he run over and get along with them?
"My son is not at home now. Should he play in the [Milk Basketball Court] now. Do I need me to call him back? You can go to the house and sit for a while."
Cao Xiaochuan has no agent so far.
Unlike James who was a pride of heaven since childhood, Cao Xiaochuan suddenly rose in the past two years, so he has no cooperative brand or a dedicated agent team. At present, all the matters about basketball and interests involved are handled by Cao Zhongtian, but Cao Zhongtian is not specialized in this. He has never had the experience of being an agent before. This kind of thing about rushing to put the ducks on the shelves also makes him feel a headache.
But this is related to his son's future prospects and the future fate of his family. Cao Zhongtian must do it. If he lacks experience, he will make up for it by careful and cautiousness. Cao Zhongtian is polite to almost every university that extends an olive branch. After receiving a call, he will record the conditions offered by each university in his small notebook, and then compare it all night in the evening according to the notebook.
But it was the first time this coach came to visit him in person. The face-to-face communication made Cao Zhongtian unexpected that they were not a wealthy place, and it was inconvenient to come from a big city. It seemed that the other party sincerely wanted his son to join their school...
"Oh, don't be so polite. It's a good thing for young people to love basketball. As a team coach, I like to coach such basketball-obsessed players. Since I'm here, I'll come out of the way."
Travis Ford said with a smile that this is Oklahoma, and he has investigated it a long time ago. The Cao family seems to have three generations of ancestors living in Oklahoma. Compared with famous universities such as Duke, Kansas, and Syracuse, they have natural geographical advantages. After all, can the University of Oklahoma give more conditions than those universities.
"We sincerely hope that Cao Xiaochuan can choose to attend our school. Our University of Oklahoma is also a prestigious school with a long history. The school covers a vast area, has heavy degrees, and is equipped on campus. And if it is just for basketball, I can guarantee you as the head coach here that as long as Cao Xiaochuan can choose our school, I will definitely give him the core position of the school team, and all tactics revolve around him, which is the conditions I can provide."
Travis Ford's words made Cao Zhongtian frown, because compared to other universities' private bribes for cars, houses, money, and easy-to-school positions, the conditions provided by the white bald coach seemed a little shabby.
But Cao Zhongtian is not a fool, or he is not a short-sighted person.
Although he doesn't know basketball very well and he is not a very competent agent, he can capture the differences between Travis Ford's promises and others.
"The core position of basketball tactics" is the difference from other schools. Although other famous schools say something that is a bit unremarkable, they have never promised their sons to have absolute core status and absolute ball rights. They still have a wait-and-see attitude towards Cao Xiaochuan, not as desperate as the University of Oklahoma.
Cao Zhongtian knew very well that his son was famous for basketball, and the stage of the National College League was definitely not his end. If he had planned this at the beginning, then it would be better to consider which one Travis Ford's words or other university coaches would be more attractive.
One day in August, the residual heat of summer has not completely faded, and the coolness of autumn has not arrived. In this slightly hot season in late summer and early autumn, a handsome Chinese boy walked into the main entrance of the University of Oklahoma with a shoulder bag, a white T-shirt on the upper body, and a pair of faded jeans on the lower body, and walked straight to the basketball court.
American universities are generally places where working-class people come from. They don’t say how rich they are, but at least every college student has his own car for transportation. Cao Xiaochuan, who has been walking on two legs, seems a little out of place here.
I don’t know how many of his “new alumni” looked at him with strange eyes along the way, but Cao Xiaochuan no longer cares. When he was a child, he had experienced too much discrimination and insults. Now he is going to be tempered. It is impossible to solve any problem for a while with those Americans. Only by relying on his own skills to completely defeat them is the best way. He has conquered his own dilapidated slum town with his ball skills. It seems that conquering the University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma is not a big problem now.
Relying on the map sent to him by others, I came to the basketball hall on the right side of the school. There were already violent sounds of ball hitting the floor and shouting from the players and coaches. When I walked into the hall, Cao Xiaochuan suddenly found that the huge stadium was divided into two places, one was the place where players practiced the ball, and the other was the audition meeting of the new cheerleaders on the campus?
A group of white and black girls with great figures squeezed together to pose for sex, seducing the players who played on their own are a little distracted, and the mistakes frequently appear, like watching the girl dribble the ball and transport it to her feet and out of bounds, which directly made the assistant coach next to her sniff.
But to be honest, those girls who can enter the school basketball cheerleading team will definitely not have bad conditions, because this is a very good choice for these girls. They can get closer to the members of the school basketball team, and those guys are all potential stocks with great potential.
Although they are all poor students in college now, once they make a name for themselves in NCAA, they can participate in the draft and be selected by the team, they will at least be members of the gold-collar class with an annual salary of hundreds of thousands of dollars. If they are draft picks in a lottery zone, will they all be wives of millionaires in the future?
