Chapter 2 School Team Trial Training
11:00 pm.
Li Shengli finally returned to his school, the University of East Carolina. Although his popularity is much worse than that of the University of North Carolina in the same state, it is also a good university.
...
"Hey, dear Lee, you're finally back."
The school dormitory is a room for two people. Before entering the door, Li Shengli heard a warm call, and the voice was obviously his roommate John Steinbeck, a white student who was nearly two meters tall and loved basketball.
According to Li Shengli's idea, the name "John" is a big street in the United States. In terms of status, it is like the same type as the dogdan, dog leftover, and Ergouzi in the village. In his heart, he gave John these more rustic names, which made him feel a long-lost sense of intimacy.
"It's 11 o'clock, why haven't you been sleeping yet?"
"Sleep? God, I'm so excited that I can't sleep at all. Today, the school basketball team sent me a trial invitation. You know, this is my dream!" John's expression was exaggerated.
Li Shengli was stunned, a little confused about John's brain circuit, "So... are you waiting for me to tell me this?"
In order to tell me that I was invited to the training camp by the school team, this guy has been waiting for me until now. Is this big thing so grand?
"Haha, I forgot to say that you were invited to this trial team."
"Me?" Li Shengli was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, you are also on the basketball team's trial invitation list, and the time is set for this weekend. How about it? Do you feel so excited that you don't want to sleep?"
Weekend trial invitation?
How could the school team send an invitation to itself for no reason?
Li Shengli was a little confused, but he also instinctively refused to go to the trial with John.
He likes to play basketball, and he practices with John in his spare time, but he doesn't want to join the school team. After all, the food and clothing have not been solved yet, so he doesn't want to waste his precious working time.
"The basketball team's trial training? I won't go. I have to work part-time on the construction site on weekends, but I don't have time to play with you."
"Oh, God." John was a little surprised. "You are still thinking about going to work part-time with such a good opportunity? Lee, what do you think in your mind? With your strength, you can join the school team."
"What's the best thing about joining the school team? Do they pay me a salary? Come on, go whatever you should do, I'm going to sleep." Li Shengli looked at John with disgust and lay on the bed.
John was confused. He thought Li Shengli would be very happy, but he didn't expect that this guy was not interested in the trial training of the school team at all.
"Wait, Li, don't rush to sleep. Listen to me... No one will pay you a salary when you join the school team, but if you perform well, you can be a sparring team, which is more than you earn when you work."
"What? Is there money?" When talking about money, Li Shengli instantly sat up from the bed, his eyes lit up.
"Of course, the hourly salary of a sparring training is $10. If you finish a day, you can earn forty..."
“How many…?”
"Forty dollars, what's wrong?"
After receiving John's affirmative answer, Li Shengli was so excited that he wanted to arrest John and kiss him a few times.
Forty dollars.
This is forty dollars.
He couldn't make so much money by hanging the ceiling for three days on the construction site. The sparring job that John said was capable of playing basketball and making money, which was obviously a good thing he dared not even dream of.
"Oh, my dear John, no...my dear dog, you are such an angel. I decided that I will go to the trial with you this weekend."
John obviously didn't understand what Goudan meant, and he thought it was a kind of intimate name from the mysterious Eastern Kingdom. Li Shengli ignored these and determined the time and location of the trial with John. He fell asleep in excitement.
...
It's always hard to wait for the weekend.
Saturday, at 2 p.m., the gymnasium of Dongka University.
Li Shengli and John rushed to the trial site of the school team as promised, and the students who had already received the news were crowded with people. After all, the trial training of the school team was a big deal.
"Smith, this guy Lee Seungri has arrived. You go and notify the coaching staff and the trial can begin."
At this time, somewhere in the stands in the gymnasium, two middle-aged men were whispering. The person who was speaking was Eddie Payne, the new head coach of the school team, and Smith next to him was the chief assistant coach of the school team.
"Eddie, it seems that you are very interested in this little guy named Li Shengli." Smith asked.
"I can't say that interest, I just think this little guy is in good health. If he can pass the trial and train him well, it will increase our inside strength a lot." Eddie said.
Generally speaking, the players on the university team rarely recruit internally. They basically use university admission notices and high scholarships to book some high school students with good talent in advance, but Dongka University's enrollment this year is really a bit tragic.
To sum it up in one sentence... A powerful high school student looks down on Dongka University team, while the weaker Dongka University team looks down on others.
In addition, the team has changed coaches, and the new bishop Eddie Payne takes office, and several starters are about to graduate.
The entire Dongka University team is a mess. Not only are the players not young, but their strength is also the lowest in history. In the end, they can only start internal moves, hoping to find a few players who can see and let the team temporarily survive the crisis.
However, Bishop Eddie knew very well that this method was to choose a big guy among the dwarfs, and the last one was just a slightly taller dwarf. The real good seedling was harvested by others as early as when he graduated from high school.
"Improving the strength of the inside?" Smith seemed to have thought of something. "Hey, if we could have a center like that monster at the University of Louisiana, everything would be solved."
"You're talking about... Shaq O'Neal? Stop thinking, that kind of monster is not something we can expect." Eddie shook his head, and Smith also sighed.
Shaq O'Neal.
Recently, he has been a big hit in NCAA and is even more a sensational figure at the University of Louisiana.
90-91 season.
The Tigers of Louisiana State University joined O'Neal, a monster with 20.8 points and 13.3 rebounds averaging, and they beat the team all the way. Especially in the game against Mississippi, the monster scored 17 blocks in a single game, breaking the NCAA record.
He was like a humanoid meat grinder, crushing all opponents, making the winning or losing of the game unsurprisingly, and making everyone remember his name - Shaq O'Neal.
"O'Neal is simply the God of NCAA's penalty area." Smith sighed, "What, do you want to train the little guy Li Shengli into that kind of monster? Hahaha, although his height is not a disadvantage, you have to know that O'Neal's data are perverted. If Li Shengli is allowed to fight O'Neal, I guarantee he... doesn't even have the qualification to carry his shoes. Forget it, let's not talk about it, this is a boring joke."
"It's almost time, Smith, go and notify the coaching staff to start the trial. Maybe Li Shengli will bring us a miracle."
