On the day before Christmas, there was no one in the school.

After all, in Ugly Country, this Christmas is just like the Spring Festival, and most students will go home during the Christmas break.

And Li Ang will definitely not be able to go back. As a Chinese, he has no habit of celebrating Christmas.

Moreover, it is a waste of money to go back and forth.

Since most employees in the school have also gone on vacation, Li Ang likes to bring a new piece of equipment - the key to the basketball gym!

This prop allows Li Ang to enter and leave the basketball gym for training at any time when needed.

Of course, it's not just training. The locker room is also available to Li Ang, and no one will care about what he wants to do in there.

Therefore, Li Ang very boldly...

Turn the air conditioner to maximum in the locker room.

Because he is really bored, Li Ang will practice alone until night these days.

Li Ang, who used to despise the pussy-shaker, is now becoming more and more like a pussy-girl.

He even seriously considered the feasibility of getting up at four in the morning to practice football.

To be honest, if there was no system, Li Ang might not be so desperate.

But with the system, you can see real-time feedback on changes in your own strength. It feels like an addiction, and you want to upgrade every day.

But today, Li Ang only practiced until the afternoon and put away the basketball and walked out of the gym early.

It's not because Li Ang's three-minute heat has passed, three minutes? Who should be eliminated? It should start at thirty minutes.

He left early mainly because someone invited him to have dinner with him this afternoon.

After arriving at a Chinese restaurant in Cleveland, a well-dressed middle-aged man wearing glasses stood up and said hello to Li Ang.

"Lee, here!"

After hearing the shouting, many people in the restaurant turned to look at Li Ang and started talking about it.

"It's really him, he's stronger than he looks in the newspaper!"

"20 wins and 0 losses, amazing!"

"If I were the general manager of the Cavaliers, I would choose him this year!"

Facing people's comments and smiles, Li Ang felt a little proud.

In Kecun, we, Lao Li, are now also famous as outstanding young students.

"Li, I'm so glad you can come. Come on, eat whatever you want." The middle-aged man greeted Li Ang politely and looked at Li Ang's body at the same time.

So long, so thick, so greedy!

Li Ang also greeted the other party politely, and then looked at the menu of this Chinese restaurant.

Fried noodle sandwich, Tianjin rice...

You can't even find a decent Chinese dish on the menu of this Chinese restaurant.

Forget it, get used to it.

Have there been less inappropriate things since you came here?

After ordering two random dishes, the two parties stopped chatting and got down to business.

The man with glasses leaned close to Li Ang, his eyes became serious: "Li, you know, no one can refuse the call of Duke Blue Devil!"

The middle-aged man didn't mince words and mentioned Duke's name right from the start.

That's right, Duke.

This middle-aged man is a scout for Duke University and is responsible for NJCAA's scouting activities.

After reporting Li Ang's situation to Coach K, he sent scouts to contact Li Ang first.

That is, the famous coach K will not make a special trip for an NJCAA player.

When Li Ang received the call a few days ago, he was also very surprised.

He never expected that a wealthy family like Duke would come looking for him.

But after the excitement passed, Li Ang came down to analyze it carefully and found that things might not be as good as he thought.

During this period, Duke had a luxurious lineup known as the "golden generation."

Shane Elton Brand Maggette brought Duke closer to the national championship.

These three will all have great success in the NBA in the future, and their abilities are evident.

Therefore, Duke has no shortage of stars now.

But there is a lack of screws to assist the stars.

Now that Li Ang is here, I'm afraid he won't have to talk about life at the water cooler.

Duke came to me, probably because they took a fancy to my defense, rebounding ability and strong enthusiasm, so that I could become a blue-collar engineer.

Although Li Ang is not a very ambitious person, there is one thing to say, if you are a blue-collar worker in the NCAA, which blind NBA team will choose you?

Duke's team culture is like a thorn in a dog, so the screws really can only be screws.

So, after the opponent said "No one can refuse the Duke Blue Devils", Li Ang casually asked: "Is there a place for me on the team?"

The scout was honest: "You can start as a substitute, but even so, you are still an important member of the team. You know our goal, we are fighting for the national championship!"

How many times in one's youth do people have the opportunity to play in the national championship?

Even if you finish college, you will only have four chances at most. As for the chance of winning the championship, it is even slimmer.

And now, you have the opportunity to pursue dreams that many people cannot achieve.

Think about it, Li. The great years of his youth, wearing a Duke jersey and fighting on the battlefield. Cruelty, blood, tears, regret, ecstasy, passion and victory, what is more meaningful than such youth!?"

The scout was very excited when he said this. He believed that any young man would get excited when he heard such words and shouted, "I want to play for Coach K."

But Li Ang, after all, his mental age is older than his physical age.

Moreover, Li Ang ate so much of this kind of cake in China that he even vomited!

When reading novels, the authors often tell me how many updates they need every day, but in fact they do it every day.

Only the few like Lao Ge are truly conscientious.

Li Ang has long been immune to these cake-painting skills.

Mature people will not listen to what others say, but always know their own needs.

What Li Ang needs is not only passionate youth, but also the favor of the NBA.

Duke is indeed a famous basketball school and they have produced countless NBA players.

But there are also many blue-collar players who disappeared after playing at Duke for four years.

It doesn't mean that just because you go to Duke, you will be selected.

The scout thought what Li Ang heard: passion, youth, victory, great!

In fact, what Li Ang heard: Dear, the substitutes here do not have full scholarships, they may not have a chance to perform, they may not be selected by the NBA, and as a screw, they have no ball rights and can only smoke in the corner.

So you have to think twice about Duke.

After dinner, the scout brother also gave Li Ang a Christmas gift.

According to regulations, NCAA teams are not allowed to have financial transactions with student players, which will be regarded as illegal recruitment.

But there are policies and countermeasures. It is normal in the NCAA circle for scouts to fund players, which is in a gray area.

Holding the gift, Li Ang walked alone on the empty streets of Kecun.

Although Li Ang was not celebrating the Western Festival, he felt a little lonely when he saw that every household was hanging socks and playing with the Christmas tree, but he could only go back alone.

Back in the dormitory, Li Ang put down the gifts and found that there were several missed calls on his landline.

Li Ang dialed back, and the person who answered the phone was an old woman: "Hello, who are you calling?"

Just when Li Ang was confused, a familiar voice came out: "They're looking for me, give me the phone. Hello? Li, what were you doing just now? The phone was so loud that you didn't even answer it."

"Oh, I didn't do anything. I had dinner with a scout from Duke University. He also gave me a pair of sneakers, although they are not the style I like."

"Du...fuck, they are blind!" On the other end of the phone, Boss Fu said it was unfair.

As one of the njcaa's two worst players, why doesn't Duke look for a genius like me?

What does Lao Li know? He knows how to hit people. He knows nothing about basketball! Going to play at Duke? He, Li Ang, doesn’t have this ability!

Through the phone, Leon could smell the sour smell coming from Maryland.

"But don't worry, I haven't thought about it yet. They told me to play as a substitute."

"Fuck, it seems they are really blind. How about playing as a substitute? It would be great if you can directly play the opponent's star player.

By the way, Li, I actually passed all the exams before the Christmas vacation!

I, Francis, have been studying for so many years, but I have never passed everything!"
