Chapter 3 Glory and Dreams
. "Okay, thank you." Yang Xiao stood up and said, "I have figured it out. I will go to Los Angeles to see you."
Katherine smiled.
"I hope to see Yang Xiao, who is as strong as in Mayer High School, on the NCAA field, the strongest strength will never come from the muscles, but the soul."
"I can definitely come out of the Ivy League, you can wait." This is what Yang Xiao said to Walton in his consciousness.
――――――――
In fact, Yang Xiao was still deceived. It was not until he entered Harvard that he realized that as a member of the Ivy League, Harvard University could not provide basketball scholarships, so this is also the reason why they cannot recruit good players. However, the Yang family, which is obviously a middle-class member, does not care about basketball scholarships, but more about the quality of the school. Generally speaking, excellent American high school students have two choices: one is to choose a famous basketball school, such as UCL or North Carolina, and the second is to go directly to the NBA.
Walton originally encouraged Yang Xiao to join UCL because this is his alma mater. At least for now, his hopes are about to be dashed. Of course, Walton told Yang Xiao that he and Chamberlain are the greatest players in NCAA history. Even Chamberlain Walton was a little dissatisfied and kept shouting that the killer god would be defeated when he met him in NCAA, but Yang Xiao probably didn't believe it.
One of the earliest private universities at Harvard University. It is a comprehensive university that mainly trains graduate students and engages in scientific research. It is headquartered in Cambridge City, Boston. The total address is byerly-hall, 8garden-street, cambridge, and the zip code is 02138.
Today, Harvard University has developed into a large-scale university with ten graduate schools, more than 40 departments and more than 100 majors. It has officially registered 18,000 degree candidates, mainly graduate students, and also undergraduates. So far, Harvard has produced 8 US presidents, 33 Nobel Prize winners and 32 Pulitzer Prize winners.
In the rankings provided by major newspapers and research institutions in the world, Harvard University is often ranked first in the world.
For high school students across the United States and even the world, this is almost like a holy place. The university in Boston is an institution that everyone wants to study. Of course, except for those sports geniuses. Generally speaking, basketball players who graduated from the Ivy League rarely choose to become professional players. Generally speaking, the gap in strength is still relatively obvious.
And a capable guy will not choose the Ivy League as his springboard.
However, for Yang Xiao, this place is not beautiful.
"Ahh, Tommy, long time no see, I'm thinking if you're going to add a few more pounds, you're really understanding. Although you've gained a lot of weight, we always have ways to control the fat content, right?" By the time Yang Xiao arrived at the basketball hall, Derek Bell was already waiting for him, "Just call me Dere, I'll create a legend with you below!"
"Okay, Derui, why can't I see other team members?" Yang Xiao said angrily.
Derek was stunned for a moment. It was obvious that Yang Xiao’s problem touched some of his worries. He was stunned for a moment and said, “Their training camp has not started yet. In the recent period, I will conduct special training for you.”
Yang Xiao was thinking about whether this basketball team could not recruit players at all, but obviously Derek had seen his doubts. Facts proved that Derek Bale was a person who was very good at observing words and expressions. It was a bit aggrieved to ask him to be a basketball coach.
"I know what you are thinking, I can even guess the frustration in your heart. You must now think your basketball career is over." Derek Bell looked at Yang Xiao and said, "With a group of useless teammates, and then meet a fool coach, he has no competitiveness at all. This is not the path you chose, isn't it?"
Yang Xiao looked at Derek and felt a little fond of him. Although this not-tall and gentle guy was a little annoying, he was not hypocritical. What he said was exactly what Yang Xiao thought in his heart, and Yang Xiao didn't defend himself. He was just trying to see what this guy could say. Obviously, Derek told Yang Xiao that these things were not for self-modestness. They were all like this. It was to suppress first and then Yang to conform to the logic of these orators. Judging from Qiu Zhang's performance, the basketball coach's eloquence was not ordinary.
"I am very interested in Chinese literature. No matter which country or nation, I admire heroes very much..." Derek Shun Shun said, who was already very considerate of his hair.
"Heroes should turn the tide and save the people from fire and water. Only by bringing this bad team to the top can I show my level, right?" Yang Xiao interrupted him and said, "There is no need to talk to me about these principles. I have known this for a long time. Tell me what you think. Don't talk about these useless things with me. I think it's better to be open and honest."
Look at Yang Xiao's attitude, he became an examiner, and Derek Bell was the candidate preparing for the defense.
He prepared a lot of inspirational speeches and was interrupted. Derek Bale's expression was not a trace of anger. He looked at Yang Xiao and said, "You are very straightforward. Then I won't tell you this anymore. Do you know that Jackson met Jordan and Vicky were all unknown guys before he met Duncan, right? For a coach, if he wanted to succeed, it was not just as simple as his own thoughts, but also needed players with execution ability. If he hadn't met Jordan, Phil Jackson wouldn't know where to promote the triangular attack he stole from. If he hadn't received the full support of Tim Duncan, Vicky would be just a lonely man who was so tough that he offended everyone, let alone the championship."
Speaking of this, Derek looked at Yang Xiao with a fanatical look and said, "Now I am extremely sure that you are my Jordan. I have been looking for so many years and finally have the opportunity to realize my dream. Tommy, these guys from NCAA are not very powerful. Everyone will tell you that basketball is a team sport, and what I want to tell you is that basketball is also an individual sport. It is a sport where one person can decide the outcome of a game. So when you pick up your dissatisfaction and follow me, I will definitely make you the greatest basketball player in history!"
Yang Xiao looked Derek's eyes seriously, and his intuition told him that the person in front of him was serious. Not everyone could pretend to be this fanatical expression. To be honest, he was a little moved. He didn't expect that there was such a great ideal in this unknown coach. Thinking of this, of course, it was ashamed of his short-sighted vision. For Hooligan Xiao, this feeling was just a flash of things, and it was very difficult to even detect its existence.
Derek looked at Yang Xiao's expression with satisfaction. Obviously, for these little guys, the messy things such as ideals, goals, and glory are the ones that attract them the most. They have not entered society and have not learned to cheat, and are always alert to others stabbing them from behind, so a few simple words can make their blood boil...
Walton looked at all this, and he was not going to remind Yang Xiao how cruel the reality is. Everyone came from this beautiful stage of youth. It always seemed very cruel to use reality to smash the dreams of young people. Let life do it.
