Chapter 005 Crazy idea!
"Mom?" He Li met his mother in this life while walking home.
He's mother was carrying several bags of plastic bags, which contained various ingredients of vegetables and meat. Perhaps the ingredients distracted her from the food, or she was thinking about something while walking, but she didn't notice at first that it was her son who came face to face.
He's mother heard He Li's voice and came back to her senses and looked up. However, after seeing He Li, she suddenly turned her head and dodged.
He Li realized that something was wrong, so he looked at it carefully and found that there were some bruises on his mother's forehead.
Obviously, this was not caused by accident.
"Oh, Xiaoli is back?" He's mother didn't know what to say, but just exchanged greetings like this.
"Mom, I'm graduating from high school. Why don't you come back and live with me? I'll support you for the rest of my life!" He Li stopped and thought for a while, then replied.
He Li's trial training for the Nets is indeed over, but with He Li's current physical talent, it is still very promising to play in the NBA.
Even if you only sign a rookie contract, you can still earn hundreds of thousands of dollars in order to support yourself and support your mother. This is still possible.
Even if there is no chance in the NBA, can you still go back to China to play in the CBA?
As long as your mind does not fall, there are always more ways than difficulties!
However, He Li thought so, but He’s mother didn’t.
"Xiaoli, I'm sorry for you! I'm not a competent mother.
Now I just hope you can take good care of yourself! Don’t worry about me!
It's getting late, I'm going back.
Xiaoli, if you have any difficulties, you can come to me, and I... also save some private money."
"Okay, I understand, I'm leaving too." He Li thought of such an answer when he said that before. Now that he heard it with his own ears, He Li did not leave any regrets for him.
Everyone has their own ambitions and cannot force them.
In the 1980s and 1990s, a group of people wanted to go abroad, but after going abroad, some succeeded and some became empty.
He Li's parents in this life had some status and resources. After going abroad, they began to succeed, but because his father occupied something he shouldn't have to do with, he died early, and the He family fell into ruin.
At that time, He Li was in junior high school, and the United States did not provide social welfare to foreign residents, so He Li was under a lot of economic pressure when he was in junior high school.
At this time, He's mother chose to marry an old white man. Half of them were considered to be out of the sea of suffering, and half of them were incapable of having no choice.
With the help of He's mother, He Li continued to enter high school. However, because He's mother had a new family and a new child, her feelings for He Li gradually faded.
Of course, there may be situations where He Li doesn't understand, for example, He's mother has been under pressure from her family over the years.
In short, after He Li's age 16, He's mother almost cut off contact with He Li. The last help He's mother gave He Li was to help He Li pay the rent for two years at one time.
If He Li had not become a substitute player of the school’s basketball team in his second year of high school and had begun to receive scholarships provided by the school, He Li would not even be able to graduate from high school smoothly.
However, there are not many scholarships for high school sports. Even if the full scholarship is waived, it will only cost more than one thousand dollars a year.
The scholarship is enough for He Li to study with peace of mind and play hard, but not enough for He Li to continue to go to college.
It is also because of this pressure that after He Li first came into contact with NCAA University and found that he did not have the chance to receive the full scholarship, he immediately chose to participate in this year's NBA Draft.
He Li once heard the bragging of public officials in China that American students do not have to spend a penny on their parents when they go to college. He Li really thought that the benefits of the United States were good, but that they did not spend money on going to college.
However, after combining this life memory, He Li discovered that the university tuition fee is more than 10,000 yuan a year. If parents stop paying for their parents at the age of 18 and the university does not provide full scholarships, who can ordinary college students earn more than 10,000 US dollars in working within three months of summer vacation?
Nowadays, there are not many jobs with a salary of 500 weeks (i.e., 2,000 monthly salary), let alone finding jobs with a salary of 3,000 or 4,000 monthly salary.
As for student loans, there are two types of student loans in the United States, one is a low-interest federal student loan, and the other is a usury private student loan.
Think about it a little, since private student loans have appeared, can ordinary people apply for federal student loans?
Private student loans are a big pit! If poor students want to change their destiny, they can only jump in with their teeth.
The existence of private student loans has made the richer the richer and the poorer the poorer, and has caused many sins, making the campus atmosphere worse and worse.
Not only in the United States, but also in the university campuses of many capitalist countries, a kind of easy girl called "sugar heart baby" is popular. They need to rely on "sugar father" to repay high private student loans, so as to continue to study and live a decent life in school.
Of course, there is also a situation on campus where God is giving food, and I don’t want to work hard and find a “nanny”.
The emergence of domestic loans is also the result of cultural invasion.
When foreigners come to China, their stereotype of domestic girls is easy girl, which is also because of this. Of course, some people are indeed because of distorted values, and this cannot be washed away.
Back to the point, He Li met his mother in this life by chance. He's mother's rejection also made He Li let down his thoughts.
He Li inherited his predecessor’s identity and should have inherited his obligations. Now he does not need travel obligations anymore, and He Li is also happy to be free.
He Li stayed at home for two days. Every day, in addition to collecting the draft situation of each team this year, he called to sign up for training camps for other teams, and then referred to the map to study how to try out.
And at this moment, He Li entered the field of vision of some people.
"New Jersey Times: Kung Fu kid appears at the Land Aviation Arena and performs an action blockbuster!"
"East Rutherford Sports: The Nets' Future Star!"
"Newark Advocate: Chinese Kung Fu, one fights ten!"
Nets general manager Rod Thorne sat in the office and browsed these newspapers. As a white man, Rod Thorne smiled unkindly when he saw these reports about the Nets' trials under his management.
It's not up to you, Asians beat black people, and black people fell to the ground in a mess. In the eyes of white people, this kind of scene is so funny.
However, as the general manager of the Nets, Rhode Thorne still needs to find someone to understand the situation at that time.
It’s obviously just a rookie trial training camp that follows the process, so why did it perform an action blockbuster?
Rod Thorne found the trial manager at the time to learn about the situation, and then pondered for a moment.
"So, his physical fitness is very good? Is there any video? I want to see this Asian boy." Rod Thorne said.
"There are videos recorded during his physical test, and the data recorded after his physical test." The person in charge of the trial replied.
"Please help me get it! After doing this, please help me confirm whether this Asian boy is Chinese!"
Rod Thorne spoke very politely, looking calm, but the person in charge of the trial training was very clear that a big man like Rod Thorne was obviously very interested in He Li.
Nets coach Byron Scott, also in Rod Thorne's office, also noticed this.
Byron Scott instinctively wanted to say: "Choose an Asian high school student? It's such a crazy idea!"
Halfway through the thought, Byron Scott shut up.
Five years ago, the Clippers, who held the No. 7 pick in the first round, immediately made a decision to reject Kobe after the trial trial against Kobe Bryant, and also said: "If we use No. 7 picks to win a high school student, other teams will definitely laugh at us."
However, last year Kobe had already won the championship ring and entered the finals this year. The finals are about to end, but it seems that he can easily win a championship ring.
And this year, the Nets happened to hold the No. 7 pick in the first round.
Byron Scott knew very well that no matter who Rhode Thorne chose with the No. 7 pick, this was something he could not question!
You should know that the big boss Rhode Thorne is the man who personally chose Michael Jordan, the "God of Basketball"!
Before Rod Thorne was the general manager of the Nets, this big shot served as executive vice president of NBA basketball operations for 14 years!
Even Byron Scott has heard that NBA President David Stern attaches great importance to the Chinese market. In order to open up the Chinese market, the NBA official sends a free weekly game highlight to the Imperial Capital.
In addition, Stern also paid out of his own pocket to invite CCTV's broadcast team to do live broadcasts before the annual star competition and finals.
