Chapter 7 Joe Thomas

Blooming sunlight shone down from the clean glass windows, and slowly filled the entire room, bathing the entire room in golden sunlight.

Tang Wenlong turned over and slowly opened his eyes.He looked out the window in a daze, watching the sunlight shining down and casting it on the quilt on the bed, and he could even see the fine dust floating in the air.The smell of dusty sunshine smelled in his nose, and he felt comfortable all over his body.

Tang Wenlong stretched his limbs, feeling a slight soreness in some parts of his body. "It seems that yesterday I was a little bit brave."

When a person is in a state of high spirits, he will not feel tired.He walked so far with Fang Chuxia in his arms yesterday, ran across the bridge after the end, and finally had the most intense match with the strong Fugong Group.Just like some people who exercise too much, they feel nothing at first, but the next day, they will feel sore all over.

Tang Wenlong just frowned. When he was practicing before, this kind of situation often happened, and he was used to it.

"Oh, that's too bad! We're going to be late!" Tang Wenlong slapped his head, yelled, trembled, and quickly climbed out of bed, "God, I'm going to be scolded by the head teacher again soon!" Tang Wenlong felt his eyes go dark: Why didn't the alarm clock go off today?

He dressed in threes and fives, and then rushed out of the bedroom.Looking across, two poached eggs and obviously cooled milk were placed on the table in the living room.Tang Wenlong rushed into the bathroom like a whirlwind, then picked up a toothbrush, toothpaste, towel, etc., and showed two manipulations on his face indiscriminately.

"Bang!" Tang Wenlong slammed the door, and even the windows shook.

With a mouth full of food, Tang Wenlong rolled out his racing car from the garage, turned over and stepped on, and rushed out with a "swish". The old grandpas and grandma who were doing Tai Chi in the square looked at the car and it was flying fast. The young man shook his head, and started fighting again slowly.

Sometimes, Tang Wenlong also hates his parents' work.

His father, Tang Bing, was the captain of the Xiyang City Traffic Police Brigade. He was not only a leader, but also a people's policeman.I usually go out early and return late, and it is common to not go home for several days when I am on a business trip.And her mother, Yang Lan, is also a senior manager of a large company, and she is also busy with work on weekdays.So although Tang Wenlong's family conditions are very good, he bought him everything he wanted, but he couldn't give him the company he needed most. The only ones who could accompany him were the most precious limited edition Spalding basketball and the open-air basketball in the community. field.

Pedestrians were in a hurry, and before seven o'clock, there were already many people running for their livelihoods. Tang Wenlong interspersed on the road, blocking the space for many drivers to overtake on the inside, and he was considered a road killer.

His home is not far from Xiyang No. 15 Middle School, but with his physique, it takes [-] minutes to ride a bicycle.

When he rode to the school gate, the gate was already closed, and the sound of morning reading from the students came from the teaching building not far away. Tang Wenlong looked left and right.

While hesitating, the security guard at the door ran out: "Okay, Tang Wenlong, you're late again! Your class teacher has been waiting for you for a long time, and you just returned to the office not long ago, just wait, I'll call her!"

"Hey, hey, don't!" Tang Wenlong pushed the bicycle, ran over with a smile on his face, stretched out his arms and hugged him, the 1.7m [-] security guard looked like a child in front of him.Tang Wenlong begged for mercy: "Brother, please forgive me this time! Turn around, I will treat you to dinner!"

"Go, go, who wants to have dinner with you!" The security guard said righteously: "Your class teacher can't be angry! Oh, I put you in, and when she comes to ask for someone later, I can't be scolded by her? Forget it, brother, I can’t help you with this matter, you’d better look after yourself later!” After the security guard finished speaking, he called the class teacher’s phone number, and the “beep~beep~beep~” sounded in Tang Wenlong’s ear. Here, it's like a reminder.

His face was ugly, and his mind was spinning rapidly, "What should I do, extinction is coming?"

"Ta~ta~ta~"

Tang Wenlong was hanged at the door by the guard, watching helplessly the toothless and unforgettable figure getting closer and closer.The sound of the high heels stepping on the ground was like stepping on Tang Wenlong's little heart. Tang Wenlong was sweating nervously on his forehead, staring at the ground with his eyes, not daring to raise his head.

"Pa~" The pointed-toed leather shoes appeared within Tang Wenlong's field of vision, and then stopped [-] centimeters away from the sneakers on his feet, and a cold voice sounded like a cold winter day: "Tell me, what is the reason this time? "

His tone was calm, but Tang Wenlong's eyes rolled even more violently. Although he was a head taller than the class teacher, he felt that he was more than a little shorter than her.Tang Wenlong was at a loss for words and was actually speechless.

"Speak up, are you dumb?" The class teacher's voice was raised by a level, and Tang Wenlong panicked when he heard it.

"Okay, don't tell me, let me tell you!" The homeroom teacher crossed his arms and said like pouring tap water, "It's you every time, every time it's you! Tang Wenlong, you're really good! Take it!" A few championships are great? Playing basketball well, what is the use of playing well? It is only two months before the college entrance examination, but you still treat your studies with such an attitude, how can you be worthy of your parents like this? With your attitude, I’m afraid you won’t even be able to afford the second book.”

The head teacher raised his voice, and at this time, another male teacher came out of the first teaching building.He was looking for something left and right, and when he saw Tang Wenlong being scolded at the door, his eyes lit up, he walked over, and said, "Tang Wenlong, I finally found you!"

The homeroom teacher was very upset when his lecture was interrupted, but when he looked at him, he looked like a frosted eggplant, with a forced smile on his face: "Director Feng, I am giving lectures, and Tang Wenlong is late again."

"Okay!" Director Feng waved his hand, and said impatiently: "I'll talk about such trivial matters later." Then he said to Tang Wenlong: "Tang Wenlong, follow me to the principal's office!" The teacher in charge said hello, turned around and left.

Tang Wenlong raised his head in surprise, he glanced at the class teacher with some hesitation, and stood still.

"What are you still doing in a daze? Come with me!" Director Feng turned his head after walking some distance and said angrily.

Tang Wenlong glanced at the head teacher again, the head teacher's face was livid, he nodded stiffly, and said in a blunt tone: "Go with Director Feng first, and settle accounts with you when you come back!"

"Hehe~~"

Tang Wenlong took big strides and followed
In the principal's office on the third floor of the office building, on the sofa for entertaining guests, Tang Wenlong was flattered and held a cup of hot water. He didn't expect to be treated like this.

Sitting in front of him were two old men, one on the left and one on the right.

On the left is Qiu Jingsheng, the current principal of Xiyang No. 50 Middle School.An old man about [-] years old, with a smile on his face, can't see majesty, but has a unique momentum.The principal, in a suit and leather shoes, raised his legs and had a happy conversation with the important guest on his right.

And the important guest on the right surprised Tang Wenlong even more.

It was the foreign old man who greeted him at the gate of the gymnasium after the game yesterday!

God, is it really the same person?Tang Wenlong felt that the way he opened it must be wrong, or maybe the foreigner looks similar, but he actually recognized the wrong person?Yesterday's foreign old man had messy hair and dressed in a very local style, but today's foreign guests have their hair smooth and shiny, and the same suit and leather shoes, and the dazzling leather shoes can even reflect a ray of light, which is simply blinding.

"Ahem, Tang Wenlong!" the headmaster cleared his throat and spoke.

First, he pointed to the foreign guest beside him: "This is Mr. Joe Thomas. He is from the United States. He said that you have met yesterday, so I will not introduce more."

Tang Wenlong nodded obediently, but he thought in his heart that he only met once yesterday, so he seemed very familiar.

Principal Qiu said with a smile: "This Mr. Joe Thomas is currently the chief scout of the New York Knicks in the NBA. He came to China this time for inspection and is very interested in your skills and physical talent."

Tang Wenlong's head exploded with a bang, "NBA? New York Knicks?" He will be noticed by the highest basketball hall he has dreamed of?This happiness came so suddenly that he felt blank for a while, and sat on the sofa blankly, his eyes out of focus.

Joe Thomas is very satisfied with Tang Wenlong's state. At this time, no basketball player would refuse the charm of the NBA, except for those European guys who can't figure it out.

Principal Qiu continued to act as an interpreter, and threw out an even more explosive blockbuster: "But you know, the American NBA stipulates that overseas players must be over 22 years old to participate in the draft, but it just stipulates that NCAA players who have completed one year of American college You can participate in the draft, so this Mr. Joe Thomas came here this time to discuss with you about introducing you to some famous NCAA basketball schools in New York, such as Syracuse University"
