God of basketball

Chapter 1 0001: [If everything starts over]

February in California is like a child's face, changing at will.

In the afternoon, the sea was still blue and cloudy, but in the evening it suddenly darkened, and the dark clouds piled up in mid-air, oppressing the people who were in a hurry.

Li Chen was lying on the sofa in a small apartment in the southwestern part of Palo Alto, exhaustion and panic were written on his pretty fair face.

He just woke up from a long nightmare.

He dreams of the rest of his life.

The track of the dream is: After I transferred from Stanford to Harvard again, I was ridiculed by many people.Under great pressure, he gave up his studies and set out to build a social networking site like his friend Zuckerberg.But it turned out that the company burned through $100 million of its own savings.

After failing to start a business, he had no choice but to return to the Bay Area and join an Internet company.However, due to the company's infighting and the failure of his parents to return to China to do business, he returned to China from the United States.Spending time in a modest Internet company, day after day, year after year: this is definitely not the life he wants, because he doesn't even have a girlfriend.

It was terrible!

Li Zhen rubbed his already very bad hair vigorously.

He knew it was because he had been under too much pressure recently.

Was it really a mistake to transfer from Harvard University to Stanford six months ago?My basketball dream is just like what my mother said: Is it a joke? ?

Li Zhen sighed helplessly.

As the only four-star Chinese point guard in the history of American high school basketball, he was very confident before transferring to the Pacific Division.When he was studying at Harvard, he was once the Ivy League's assists and steals king: but later, he found that the Ivy League was completely incomparable with other NCAA leagues.The Ivy League represents the world's highest academic level, not athletic level.

He got up slightly and reached out to turn on the TV. The Chinese channel on the TV happened to be broadcasting the basketball park.

"...The god of basketball, Michael Jordan, married his wife Juanita in 1989 and raised a son and a daughter. But in 2002, Juanita filed for divorce. The reason she gave was that "I couldn't stand Michael's repeated cheating, and there were irreconcilable conflicts between the two parties." For this reason, she even wrote a 6-page divorce lawsuit document."

"However, due to the property and compensation relationship involved, the Flying Man's divorce case took 4 years. Yesterday, the two parties finally reached an out-of-court settlement agreement. It is rumored that Michael will pay his ex-wife a breakup fee of 1.68 million! I have to say that this is one of the most expensive divorce breakup fees in sports history..."

Scumbag!

Li Zhen muttered subconsciously.

Ok?

The words that came out of nowhere made him both strange and familiar... This word seemed to be brought out from a nightmare.

He shook his head.

The news on TV was still on.

"...This morning, we interviewed Stanford's head coach, Coach McHearney. Due to the injuries of two main players this season, in the remaining three divisional games, the possibility of the Crimson team breaking out of the Pacific Division is almost zero. Therefore, he regretfully announced that the focus of the team's work this season will shift from fighting for a spot in the top 64 to recruiting for the new season. In addition, we interviewed him about the topic of Chinese defender Li Zhen."

As soon as the screen turned, Coach McHani appeared in front of the camera.

McHaney once served as an assistant coach for the NBA Lakers for a long time and made great contributions to the Lakers dynasty.Three years ago, he began to take charge of the crimson team coach, and in the 2004 season, he helped the team reach the top 16 of the NCAA.

At that time, the ace Childress of the team also entered the NBA as a lottery pick by virtue of his outstanding performance in the round of 64: this is one of the few NBA players at Stanford.

"Bruce is a smart, passionate, cautious and very hardworking player. His ball control is the most incredible I have ever seen. He has amazing creativity and talent, just like his GPA results. On the training ground, he often makes all the players Jumping and applauding are amazing assists."

"But, we have to admit. His body doesn't match his mind, he's too small compared to other players, he's only 1.8kg despite being 68m tall, that's why I couldn't keep him on the pitch for a long time."

"In the last three games, I will give him some chances. But next season... well. You know, a person who is less than 16 years old can be admitted to Harvard with a super smart brain. He should focus on his studies. He will definitely achieve shocking achievements..."

Snapped!

Li Zhen turned off the TV.

For him, this was not a heavy blow.

He has already put all his eggs in one basket to play basketball.At first, he transferred from Harvard to Stanford in spite of his parents’ opposition, which angered his powerful mother. Ms. Wang Junzhu, a professor of biology at New York University, was very angry and said that if Li Zhen did not return to Harvard and choose a life science major, she would refuse to pay Li Zhen any tuition and living expenses.

At that time, Li Zhen, who had played all the invincible Ivy League players, had great ambitions. He thought that he could make a career with his own ability without relying on his parents.

But now... alas!

As the crimson team will no longer register him as a player next season, he can no longer enjoy the high living allowance from the school.

Over the years, although he has saved some New Year’s money, and earned almost 15 US dollars through scholarships, competition awards, and developing web pages for others, all of them have been invested in the website created by Zuckerberg. He now has less than [-] US dollars in his bank card account, and he has to pay rent next month.

and so…

Can I really just bow my head, admit my mistake, and go home obediently to be a rich second generation?

Ding Dong!

At this time, a voice came from the laptop next to the sofa. It was an email from Zuckerberg.

He opened it, and it said: "Dear Li Zhen, are you sure you want to transfer the 15 US dollars equivalent to 12.00% of the preferred equity that the angel invested in us before? Now Mr. Peter Thiel of PayPal and several other investors are willing to invest in us in their personal capacity, and their investment amount will reach the level of tens of millions of US dollars. If you want, we can transfer your shares right now, which is about 190 million US dollars according to the current valuation. shares."

Zuckerberg's guy has a very soft tone, and Li Zhen has a very good relationship with him.

Li Zhen likes this introverted guy very much, and he also has a Chinese girlfriend who is not very beautiful.This creates more common topics for their getting along.

But now that he is really in distress, he must cash out these shares.

But just when he was about to type yes in the email reply, he suddenly remembered that in the dream he had just had, what he did was to convert all the shares into cash, pay the full amount of taxes, and return to Harvard to start a business.Unfortunately, his venture was unsuccessful and the money was quickly spent.

Boom! !

There was a sudden lightning and thunder outside, and a pair of AJ sneakers he was hanging on the balcony were blown to the ground by the strong wind.

This scene made him more familiar.

Because that's the beginning of that long nightmare.

In that nightmare, he ignored the pair of basketball shoes in the wind and rain, and he thought his basketball dream was completely shattered.So, bow your head and reply to the email on your laptop: YES!All for sale.

But now, he raised his head inexplicably and looked at the sky outside. Under the dim light, layers of dark clouds were piled up, and every dark cloud seemed to be inlaid with golden edges, which was very beautiful.

So, there is sunshine behind the dark clouds, right?

Li Zhen lowered his head and pondered for a while, then strode over in a strange way.

That was the first pair of AJs in his life, the AJ10 generation, which was the shoe Michael wore when he announced 'I'm-back'.

When he grabbed the sneakers that fell on the balcony with both hands, his eyes suddenly became bright, and the most intense white lightning instantly enveloped his whole body.

Boom!

He felt that he was hit hard, and then the pain filled every cell in his body.

fell to the ground.

And for a moment when he had a trace of consciousness left.

He heard an echo in his head: "Hee hee, I finally escaped from that demon's body."

"I didn't disappear? Is there a crack in time?"

"I can speak. I speak English?"

"The remaining 20.00% of the energy can't completely transform the body. Only one of strength, speed, bounce, agility, and body shape can be improved..."

"..."
