Chapter 19 The Unannounced Stranger
Chapter 19 The Unannounced Stranger
In April 2002, Wesha was invited to join the Sonny Hill League in Philadelphia.
Regardless of the lack of reputation in the Hill League, the history in Philadelphia can be traced back to the 60s.
That era featured various leagues filled with top local high school players.Before the advent of the Hill League, the best game was the Narberth League, played in a stadium in the suburbs of Philadelphia.What makes the Hill League stand out is that it's a citywide game and it's played indoors.
In that troubled era, the Hill League helped Philadelphia basketball regain its pride.
Philadelphia in the 60s was full of anger.In the period after Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated, there was also a riot in Philadelphia.Going out has become a very dangerous thing.The atmosphere was tense between whites and blacks.But basketball is a game that brings everyone together.
Hill started the Sonny Hill League in a sense to counter the street gangs that were devouring Philadelphia.With numerous local gangs closely guarding their respective territories, it can be difficult for kids to commute from block to block on public transportation.If they try to travel, they often end up in land disputes and in trouble.However, if a player is carrying a Sonny Hill league sports bag, gang members usually do not step forward and let them pass.This means that players can travel to and from all over Philadelphia to participate in the league.The witty Hill had mixed parole officers and public safety officers into the league's coaching corps and adult cadre, so gangs everywhere figured out quickly that they shouldn't mess with Hill League players.
The first Philadelphia star to become famous in the Hill League was called "Sweet Bean" Joe Bryant.
Wei Xia is like the historical stars produced in Philadelphia. He joined the Hill League. Half of his team are adults.
Some people say that his playing style is very similar to that of Dr. J.
This view was quickly refuted by old fans who had seen Irving play with their own eyes: "Unless Wish can do ten moves in the air one day and then put the ball in the basket, don't compare him with 'Dr.J'!"
Well, when the aliens invade Earth, we should be able to see the shot of doing ten maneuvers in the air and putting the ball in the hoop.
It's not impossible for Wei Xia to do it. If you can hang Wia during the game, let alone 10 moves, show them 20 moves.
At the same time, the NBA playoffs are in full swing.
Due to the farce of Iverson and Larry Brown, the 76ers, who were the runner-up last season, quickly lost their competitiveness and were out early.
Wei Xia doesn't pay attention to the 76ers, he prefers to watch the Pacers.Yes, it's the Pacers.If he can't watch the Pacers, he'll watch the Sonics.
Although he likes Kobe very much, he has to proceed from reality.
John Havlicek's style of play requires him to run all over the court. Can you expect Kobe to run all over the court?He'll do it if he needs to, but there's probably no coach who'll let him run wild.It's as if the Zen Master would not let the Sharks be used as a space insider, would not let Jordan be a three-point shooter, and would not let Pippen shoot a lore with Jordan.Oh no, even if Jordan is not there, he may not vote for the lore, and Tony Kukoc is not.
The question Wei Xia has been thinking about is, if Havlicek plays in the contemporary era, what will happen?
He thinks that it should be close to Richard Hamilton, whose defense has been greatly upgraded.
Maybe he should find a way to practice one-handed shooting. His current scoring points are concentrated in the penalty area, and he will be targeted in higher-level games.
However, Havlicek in the old days has not yet reached the time to practice shooting.
The things experienced in the old days will be reflected on Wei Xia, so even if he wants to practice shooting, he will be backlashed by the old days.
After Wei Xia participated in the Hill League, the major universities are more enthusiastic about him than before.
DePaul University had previously invited Wei Xia to visit, but he only said to think about it and there was no follow-up.
Wescha's approach would normally be seen as rejection.
And DePaul did not give up on this, they provided Wesha with two scholarships in a row.
One from the DePaul basketball team and one from the DePaul track and field team.
Wei Xia's participation in the school's track and field training is only for physical exercise, and he has no intention of developing into track and field. Any school that knows him should know.DePaul University has shown sincerity by doing this.As long as Weishaken goes, he can get two scholarships.
At the same time, they issued a formal invitation to visit Wecha.
There are two types of visits by high school students to universities: informal visits and official visits.When DePaul University invited Wei Xia for the first time, it did not specify whether it was an official visit or an unofficial visit, but this time, they publicly announced that they officially invited Wei Xia to visit the school, just like an announcement to the outside world: "We are going to decide on this child!"
DePaul University was full of sincerity, and Wei Xia couldn't refuse. Even if his heart didn't belong to them, he agreed to go and have a look.
July is the Pennsylvania 4A Basketball Tournament, and Wei Xia will visit DePaul University in early June.
Just before he set off—
Wei Xia finished training as usual and went home with his friends. Dick Long and Li Zhongxian made an appointment to have dinner at his house and watch Game [-] of the Western Conference Finals by the way.
As soon as they got home, Wei Xia's sister Wei Chun trotted to the door and said to him, "Go and wash your face and change your clothes!"
"Sister Annie, what's the matter?" Li Zhongxian asked (Wei Chun's English name).
Wei Chun said in a soft voice, "Here comes a big man!"
As a result, Dalong and Li Zhongxian were sent to Wei Qiu's room by Wei Chun's superiors on the grounds that they were not allowed to be on the table.The two of them were kicked out as soon as they entered Wei Qiu's room, so they rushed to Wei Xia's room and found a pile of snacks on the table. They immediately forgot the negligence of Wei's family and ate happily.
Wei Xia has an unknown hobby: he likes to buy snacks, but he doesn't eat much.Since he doesn't eat much, his snacks often expire.He didn't know what to do with expired snacks, so he left them in his room.One day he noticed that those expired snacks that he didn't know what to do with disappeared.He thought that God took away the harmful items, so he insisted on putting the expired snacks in a conspicuous place so that God could not find them.It wasn't until a few years later that he discovered that the God who collected the expired snacks was his brother.
So, what are the ingredients of the snacks that Dalong and Li Zhongxian ate, needless to say?
Wei Xia just washed his face and hands, not as well dressed as his family expected.
He went into the living room to find some casually dressed stranger having a good time with his parents.
"Philip, come quickly!" Mei Chen called Wei Xia to him, and introduced him to the stranger who came without warning, "This gentleman is"
"Mrs. Wei, let me say it more formally."
The stranger smiled faintly, interrupting the enthusiastic Mei Chen.
