Chapter 60 This is just the beginning
.Yang Xiao is in a very dangerous situation now. He may have won the game but was crushed by his companions. The excited members of the Mayer High School team didn't care about these things anymore.
"I'm almost crushed to death, who is touching it randomly!" Yang Xiao's weak voice came out of the crowd, and the ribbons in the sky had floated up. Obviously, Las Vegas people prepared a grand coronation ceremony, but this time they had to let the guys from Mayer High School enjoy it. Yang Xiao finally squeezed out of the crowd, but saw Catherine, who was also full of excitement.
"Do you still remember what you said?" Yang Xiao said in a loud noise, "You said that as long as I win the state championship, you will be my girlfriend!"
Catherine was actually a little embarrassed and nodded.
"Do you know what I was thinking at that time?" Yang Xiao was obviously too excited and said endlessly, "I was thinking at that time that I must win the championship, and then ignore you at all, so that you, a self-righteous guy, will be sad alone!"
"Now, what do you think now?" Catherine asked with a smile without caring.
"What do I think now?" Yang Xiao smiled at the corner of his mouth, "Now I don't think about it anymore!"
Then Yang Xiao replaced his words with his actions. He hugged Catherine, lowered his head and kissed him hard!
Qiu Zhang, who was also in excitement, dimmed his face and shouted to Yang Willie, who was already a little crazy around him: "I have an unknown premonition. Maybe I will become a grandma before I was 40!"
"What's wrong with being a grandma!" Yang Weili said without caring.
"I will never allow this kind of thing to happen!" Qiu Zhang said angrily.
"This is a live broadcast game across the United States. This hooligan actually kissed other girls publicly on such occasions!" Ouyang Yi almost jumped out of her seat and said angrily, "This fact is unbearable. This kid is too much. I want to settle the score with him. What is he? He is eating and looking into the pot?"
"Forget it, he probably was too excited, and I had nothing to do with him. He would misunderstand if you did this." Lin Jia's face dimmed and she said.
"It doesn't matter? Don't be stupid. If you continue like this, you will be bullied by others!" Ouyang Yi looked at Lin Jia incredibly and said, "You are just too weak!"
**After (completely literal) Yang Xiao had already used his light to see Lin Jia and Ouyang Yi's unhappy expressions in the stands, and then he realized that he had made a huge mistake.
"You must never show your kindness to another woman in front of one woman, right?" Walton couldn't help laughing at Yang Xiao, "You little hooligan are still a rookie among the rookies in picking up girls."
Yang Xiao did not refute this time. He now focused all his energy on how to remedy the mistake, but at least he had no choice.
After a simple and grand ceremony, the players returned to the locker room, while Coach Leto couldn't take it off. The reporter's interview was one aspect, and scouts from the NBA had already begun to inquire about Coach Leto about Yang Xiao. After all, for such a mysterious guy, the official news was really scarce, and Okafor on the side seemed a little lonely.
Some people commented that Okafor chose to enter college rather than participate in the draft as a high school student. The poor performance of this game is a very important reason. For students in the draft stage, it is very normal for a game to change their draft rankings sharply due to a game. For those unknown guys, beating a draft favorite is the only way to improve their popularity and draft seats. This is the case with Yang Xiao today.
Jim Leto rejected the reporter's request to interview Yang Xiao. He said that for young players, what is needed is tempering, not excessive praise, and vaguely stated that Emecca Okafor is the latest typical case of being praised, and Okafor's head coach Mr. Christie Yell must bear the main responsibility for this. This provocative statement directly led to chaos at the interview because Lincoln High School head coach Mr. Yell was a little out of control.
In the locker room of Mayer High School, it was not peaceful. In addition to the celebration, some unpleasant things happened. Because the parties were silent about it, there was no way to know the real situation. Some people who did not want to be named called "a bloody case caused by three photos". The specific content is said to be related to the words "deception", "decision kill", and "passing".
For the Mayer High School players, this is an unforgettable senior year for them. The end of this game means the end of their high school basketball career. Unfortunately, as Nevada champion team, they did not even get the favor of famous basketball schools. Wood went to the unknown Dartmouth University, and no one else had the opportunity to receive a basketball scholarship because two ace players from Mayer High School, Dane and Yang Xiao are in their second year. Obviously, those famous basketball schools are more interested in them.
Although Okafor's career was almost the first memorable game, his strength was still recognized by many prestigious schools. Although his pick in the NBA draft was greatly lowered, Okafor is still a talented player for NCAA. In the end, Okafor chose the University of Connecticut, a school known for cultivating excellent centers, where he will continue his basketball journey.
Yang Xiao, his basketball career has just begun, but he has to face a series of problems, just after the Nevada high school basketball league final.
For example, he first explained to his mother Qiu Zhang why he kissed a white girl in public after the game. Afterwards, a reporter revealed that the boy was married and had a son. Of course, this is a typical sequelae of celebrity. Qiu Zhang did not believe it, but Yang Xiao had to explain his trash talk and domineeringness, because this was a fact recorded by the camera lens. Yang Xiao had no argument at all. He had no reason and had to make a promise again that he would not commit it again. Surprisingly, Qiu Zhang actually believed him - many years later, people will find that believing in "Rogue Xiao" is simply as naive as Jews who do not love money.
Secondly, he had to try his best to explain to Lin Jia that the passionate kissing behavior in the Hawke Arena was entirely due to a moment of excitement. At that time, he would kiss as long as he was a woman. And if Lin Jia was present, he would kiss more intensely. Well, this matter is actually hard to believe, but Lin Jia actually planned to believe him. Yang Xiao was going to succeed, but because Ouyang Yi was doing something, Yang Xiao almost even got rid of his mouth, and in the end he was only punished by "staying on school". However, after this battle, Yang Xiao's ability to speak sweet words had increased in a geometric manner.
However, for Yang Xiao, the advantage is that Lin Jia has already been admitted to the School of Literature at Harvard University, so he can give him a chance to breathe. After all, Yang Xiao can't control himself in the face of a hot beauty like Catherine who is about to bloom. Yang Xiao can just use his own private money to solve Lin Jia's tuition problem. Moreover, according to Ouyang Yi, Lin Jia's family is not short of money, but Lin Jia is obviously not willing to restore relationship with the broken family, so the help from Yang Xiao is now a timely help.
Yang Xiao always had basketball in his last year in high school, but what was surprising was that this kid's academic performance did not decline. Of course, the reason was that he had to consult Walton, if old Walton could still answer questions.
Yang Xiao’s last year in high school is composed of the following clips:
Piece one
"I know my son is a basketball genius. I know he will be selected by the NBA team. I know he has a bright future, but I tell you that I am not interested in signing a bullshit agency now. I have emphasized it with countless people countless times, and I can tell you clearly that my son will never enter the NBA directly without even going to college!" Qiu Zhang said with an angry face to the agent of a famous agency who claimed to be a famous agency that in fact, since the famous final in the second year of high school, Yang Xiao's home has become lively. Countless reporters or basketball agents have flocked to him. Some people have even told Qiu Zhang that Yang Xiao can enter the top three in the NBA draft, and may even become the No. 1 pick. At that time, when the contract is signed, a lot of dollars will come to his face.
For ordinary poor families, this is very tempting, but Qiu Zhang doesn't seem to be short of money, so she refused all visits.
Piece 2
Yang Xiao looked at Jim Leto with anger on his face.
"I know what you want to say, but now is not the time." Leto said with a smile.
"Even the little guys in the first year of high school are practicing shooting, changing directions, and surpassing people. Why do I still have to do this damn physical fitness and dribbling training? I want to practice free throws!" Yang Xiao said angrily.
"Your foundation is still very poor. I won't let you continue to train until you meet my requirements." Leto said slowly.
Yang Xiao let out a painful howl like a wounded lone wolf, scaring the little guys who had just joined the team far away from this legendary "rogue Xiao".
Pieces Three
"I have to tell you that you have been fired." Jasding said to Yang Xiao with a helpless look on his face.
"What?" Yang Xiao was stunned. He had earned a lot of dollars from the Cuso basketball team. Now he was fired. "What am I doing wrong? You are too bastards. How can you fire me if you say you are fired? Do the audience in Carson City agree? Do those little girls agree?"
"You did nothing wrong, but you did it too well, so all the teams in Carson City have sent me an ultimatum. If I let you play on the team again, no team will play against us, so for the Cuso team, you can sacrifice it." Jastin said helplessly, "To compensate you, they will give you a severance fee that will make you lively in college for four years. I am not here to ask for your opinion. This is the final decision."
"You guys are really too much!"
Pieces Four
"Rogue Xiao, someone saw Coach Leto rush over with murderous intent, you can run away quickly!" Seeing Yang Xiao strolling on the road, a junior couldn't help but say.
Yang Xiao was about to get angry. He didn't have much affection for the title of "Rogue Xiao", but when he heard the words behind him, he immediately jumped up like a frightened rabbit and asked non-stop, "Where, where is he?"
"I'm here!" Jim Leto looked fierce, holding a baseball bat in his hand, as if he wanted to eat people, appeared behind Yang Xiao, "You actually dare to sleep with my daughter!"
"Oh my God..." Yang Xiao shouted and fled. He didn't even have time to pick up his shoes when they fell off. He ran away. The benefits of long-term running training were revealed at this moment. Coach Leto could not keep up with him at all.
"Boy, I'm going to beat you to death, you can wait..."
Although he obviously couldn't keep up with Yang Xiao's footsteps, Jim Leto still chased after him with a bat.
Fragment Five
"I'm sorry, you guys who want to beat me have no chance, at least in high school." Yang Xiao said after winning the state championship again.
"Jim Leto's level is not very good. He just grabbed a good hand." - Christie Yeal's words were quite sour.
"You must be able to play even if you catch a good hand, otherwise you will still be defeated." Jim Leto replied.
**
In the summer of 2002, Yang Xiao graduated from Carson City Mayer High School.
In the same year, Yao Ming, a center from China, became the first Chinese No. 1 pick.
