From sparring to superstar

Chapter 2 2. Goal: Varsity Team

Henry Bibby left angrily with the phrase 'Try out at 9 o'clock Saturday morning' and left.

Li Ao asked Dean Teng: "Just say 9 o'clock in the morning on Saturday, and don't say where the trial training is. If I can't find a place, he won't use this as an excuse to report me for fighting?"

Dean Teng really felt that Li Ao was easy to be targeted by those gangsters in the school, and a large part of the reason was that this kid was too talkative.

If this kid hadn't really been able to beat him, he would have been beaten a hundred times already.

He wants to hit someone!
Vivian responded excitedly: "I know the trial training location! I'll take you there on Saturday!"

"That's right, Aunt Vivian, you are a fan of the basketball team," Li Ao complained, "Auntie, it's not good for you to say which team you like, but you actually like the Trojans."

Vivian said dissatisfiedly: "What happened to the Trojans? This is our school's team... At least it's better than the Clippers!"

"This is also..."

Li Ao agrees with Vivienne's statement. Although the Trojan basketball team is lackluster in the entire Trojan Legion, which can be called great, generally speaking of the great basketball team of Southern California is the women's basketball team, which is the Trojan Women Warriors team.

But it is still possible to step on the Clippers.

Not to mention anything else, let's just say that the two teams have used the same arena for more than ten years. The tickets for the Trojans, a college basketball team, are more expensive than the Clippers, a professional basketball team.

In the entire Los Angeles basketball world, the Zijin Legion must be the pride of pride. In many people's minds, the Bruins and the Lakers are not far behind, and after that is the Trojans.

After that, it is not the Clippers that are popular, but Inglewood High School and Southern California High School, and finally the Clippers.

"Okay, Vivian, go and solve Leo's troubles, Leo, go back to class!"

Seeing that these two guys were about to start chatting again, Dean Teng chased them away.

The two resolutely disappeared, Vivian went to work overtime, and Li Ao came to the classroom with his schoolbag on his back.

Seeing Li Ao coming to class like a normal person with his schoolbag on his back like a good baby, the students already in the classroom have long been used to it.

Although the deterrence of force saved him from the troubles that many international students would encounter, it affected his popularity among classmates.

But he still has a good relationship with him. As soon as he entered the classroom, a white young man who behaved like a street stalker came up: "Leo, are you okay this time?"

Li Ao responded angrily, "It's all right."

"I knew you would be fine! Your backstage is the dean!"

"When the hospital assistant came to catch me, you ran faster than the dogs? Those who didn't know thought it was the dog-catching team."

"God, if I am regarded as an accomplice in a fight with you and sued to the old man, he will not beat me to death... And my buddy is ready, if the dean can't keep you, even if I am beaten by the old man, I will say yes I will fight with you and let him save you too."

"You still have a little conscience..."

This Caucasian young man is Li Ao's best friend in class, and the first classmate he met when he came to USC, Liam Peake, who is two years older than him.

He entered the school relying on the letter of recommendation from the dean to find professors from other schools. Liam Peake was simple. He scored first in the entrance examination and was the son of the school director.

The two met at first just because of the politeness of their elders. Later, because they shared similar interests, they both liked to play games. They made appointments at the arcade a few times, and fought with those who were not good-looking, and became buddies.

The good relationship between the two has been maintained for a long time, because there is no money involved. At most, I will treat you to a meal and you will lend me a new game cartridge to play.

But this is also one of the reasons for Li Aofeng's bad reviews. Although he fights for a reason, and he rarely takes the initiative to fight, every time he fights, he is fine. When the dude son of the Ke family played together, birds of a feather flocked together and people were divided into groups. The classmates had to walk around him even if they didn't tell him how to show him face.

And like other Chinese students, he has a characteristic that is generally not liked by his classmates-good academic performance and occupying scholarships.

But two or three friends are enough, and he doesn't care about other students' opinions.

Some things are not important after graduation and in the society. Even if the relationship within the school is not good, as long as there is no real grievance, maybe you can still use the relationship with classmates.

As the saying goes, college classmates may be the best group of people you can meet in your life; university professors may be the best social people you can meet in your life.

Reassured, Liam began to ask how the fight was handled.

In fact, Liam felt that this fight was a bit unreasonable. In his perception, although Li Ao often fought, he basically didn't take the initiative to fight. It was mostly "justifiable defense", so the dean's handling of it was not counted. trouble.

But he didn't ask why, he just remembered one thing - you can't ask Chinese 'Are you Japanese'.

Li Ao originally wanted to study the system he had just obtained, but Liam was too annoyed, and there was still a while before class, so he explained the process of receiving the dean's 'education'.

The dean's way of dealing with it is not to be biased, and he has no intention of dealing with Li Ao at all, but this is normal in Liam's view. In a capitalist country, the rich and powerful have privileges. According to Yam, it is the normal state of the whole society. In the college, the dean is Quan, and the school director is Gui.

Instead, Liam's eyes lit up when he heard the head coach of the basketball team approach him: "Leo, are you going to join the school team?"

Li Ao shook his head: "It's just for trial training."

Liam patted Li Ao on the back and said, "I have confidence in you! You are the number one basketball player in our department!"

Speaking of this, Li Ao's egg hurts, and the corner of his mouth twitched: "We have a total of 7 people in the team, and two of them are fat people who dribble with their palms. I am the number one basketball player in the whole department. The gold content is really high! I am really a brain You and Vivian fooled you into representing the department team to participate in the college competition when you were squeezed by the door, but you were abused by the art department, and you, the point guard, is it okay to break through and dribble?"

Li Ao didn't want to think about the two games that time, and it was another lifelong shame that he couldn't bear to look back on.

Just as Liam was about to refute, the professor who was attending the class came, so he could only take out his books and listen to the class resentfully.

Regardless of Liam's usual appearance, he is a real rich second generation who received elite education since he was a child. His studies from childhood to adulthood were as heavy as possible, which also made him extra indulgent outside of studies.

On Li Ao's side, he is very clear that the most basic purpose of his coming to the United States is to acquire knowledge, get a diploma, and study hard.

Both of them have very good academic performance, which is one of the reasons why they can play together.

After the content of the professor's lecture was about the same, he began to tell stories about chicken soup and how difficult it was in the early days of his business. If Li Ao hadn't heard Liam complain about the real version, he would have believed it.

Liam has already taken out his mobile phone to send text messages. Li Ao guesses that this guy has changed his girlfriend again. Only when he meets a new girlfriend, this guy will actively contact the other party. There is a high probability that the other party's phone is this guy. Yes, it is convenient to contact.

Li Ao put on an attitude of listening to the story enthusiastically, and gave instructions in his heart. A faint screen that did not affect his sight but could be seen clearly appeared in front of him.

"Name: Li Ao, English name: Leo.

Age: 18 (August 1981, 8).

Height: 197 cm, arm span: 211 cm.

Weight: 89 kg...

Activation task: Participate in the school team trial training and be selected. "

Going to the basketball dream of riding a horse?
This was the first meme he thought of after the system appeared, and it will be very popular for a while in the future.

He closed his eyes, but could still see.

He repeated in his mind 'turn on the system' and 'turn off the system'. After playing for a while, he was still a little unsure.

So he pinched Liam next to him...

"what……"

All eyes were on Liam, and the professor seemed to squeeze out a voice through his teeth: "Boy from the Peek family, what am I wrong?"

Liam didn't care to trouble Li Ao, so he quickly responded, "No! Of course not! I was so touched by this, I couldn't hold back my voice."

Others only think that the teacher on the podium is a teacher. How can he not know that this is a business tycoon. Lectures are just a hobby, and he just likes to see the clear and stupid eyes of college students.

Seeing that the rich second generation admitted to being cowardly, and his usual test scores were good, the professor didn't go into details and continued to tell his story.

Liam breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked Li Ao angrily in a low voice, "Why are you pinching me?"

"I'm a little sleepy, afraid of falling asleep." Li Ao switched to innocent eyes while speaking.

"Then you pinch yourself!"

"I fear pain."

Liam almost broke the table with his hands. If he couldn't beat this killer, he would definitely ask for a fight!
Last year, when the thousand-killer was shorter than him, his fighting power was already off the charts. He had a deep memory of the one-on-one battle to become famous.

A year later, this guy had a new head and gained more than 20 pounds. He can no longer confirm how high this guy's combat effectiveness is.

Angrily, he took out his mobile phone and sent text messages with someone else. He was a service worker at the nightclub he frequented. He was proficient in all kinds of flowers. He wanted to play some flowers tonight!Get angry!
On Li Ao's side, he turned his attention back to the system.

Now he is sure, the system is really here!

4 years!Waited for 4 years!

Yes, he is a time traveler.

His original name was Li Ao. He was a wage earner in the 21s. After graduating from university, he enjoyed the 20 blessings for several years. He just bought a small house with a mortgage. He became a glorious loan family and started working for a banker. , Contributing GDP to politicians, in the case of a bad environment, I look forward to the blessings not to be cut off...

As a result, the off-plan property I bought was unfinished!
When he went to protest with other house buyers, he accidentally fell off the roof of the sales office, and the blessing was gone...

Opening his eyes again, he has returned to the 90s, and has become a 14-year-old little ghost, also named Li Ao.

After time-traveling, he went to the bathroom and looked at the handsome young man in the mirror, which was comparable to his appearance in his previous life... He quickly accepted the matter of time-traveling.

It is worth mentioning that he was in the hospital when he woke up, and the reason for entering the hospital was alcohol poisoning.

The memory left by his previous life told him that he was hurt by love. Because of the intervention of his parents and teachers, he was forced to break up with his little girlfriend, and used alcohol to relieve his sorrow... The key point came—after he was sent to the hospital, he died. is pediatrics.

The black history that I don't want to mention again in my life!

When he first crossed over, he was looking forward to the appearance of the system, and thought of many ways to activate the system, such as learning the Ultraman transformation spell, trying all the rings at home to see if there was a grandfather, running in a thunderstorm, and even Even Ba La La Xiao Moxian's spells... all failed without exception.

After several attempts, he gave up and accepted reality.

There were many inconveniences in China in the mid-90s, and he was not used to it at first.

But after a long time, he fell in love with the slow-paced life of this difficult life... The main reason is that his family is still rich in this life.

In the early 80s, his parents in this life resolutely threw away their iron rice bowls and went into business after the opening of the market economy. Their ability and luck were not bad, and the small factory they opened was doing well, so he had the opportunity to enjoy a slow-paced life.

Later, he helped the granddaughter of the professor next door to fix the computer several times. In order to repay him, the retired professor recommended him to study in USC.

Until now.

I originally wanted to study hard, study hard at the age that should be studied, find a job or start a business in the future, seize some opportunities in my memory, earn some money, and live my life comfortably... I didn't expect the system to appear suddenly!
But when playing basketball, he thought of the darkest era in the Chinese and American basketball world in more than 20 years.Even if he really became a professional basketball player, he wouldn't be able to play at that time.

Li Ao, who was originally interested in this system but also desperate, became excited.

It is true that basketball will enter the darkest age 20 years later, but now is the era when basketball is booming, and things that will happen more than 20 years later will cause headaches for people more than 20 years later.

Now is the time to try it out!

He always liked playing basketball. Almost every week, at most every other Sunday, he would go to the park with Liam to play basketball. He even participated in the intramural competition last semester. Don't want to look back.

Now that I have the chance to do it all over again, of course I have to try a different way of life. Playing basketball may be a good attempt.

If you can compete with Shaquille O'Neal, Duncan, Nowitzki, Kobe, Iverson... and others... it's a bit too far away.

After he calmed down, he felt that this road seemed difficult!

He is not bad at playing basketball, but only in the department. With his height of nearly two meters and decent jumping, he can be dunked in the computer department where most of the fat houses are dead.

But last semester, he participated in the intramural competition on behalf of the department team. In the first round, he lost all the two games against the art department. They couldn't even beat a group of painters and were directly eliminated.

He personally also played badly against defenders who were a head shorter than him, either being intercepted or blocked and had to lift the ball up to avoid mistakes...

Let's talk about advanced school team!

If the school team didn't make it, the system wouldn't even be able to be turned on, so thinking about it would be useless.
