I just want to play healthy basketball

Chapter 5 Crazy Ideas! (for collection)

"Mom?" He Li was walking home and unexpectedly met his mother in this life.

Mother He was carrying several bags of plastic bags, which contained various vegetables and meat ingredients. Perhaps the ingredients distracted her, or she was thinking about something while walking. At first, she didn't notice that it was her son who came face to face.

When Mother He heard He Li's voice, she came back to her senses and looked up.However, after seeing He Li, he suddenly turned his head to dodge.

He Li sensed that something was wrong, so he looked carefully and found some bruises on the side of his mother's forehead.

Obviously, this was not caused by accident.

"Oh, Xiaoli is back?" Mother He didn't know what to say, so she just exchanged greetings like this.

"Mom, I graduated from high school, why don't you come back and live with me, and I will support you for the rest of your life!" He Li stopped to think for a moment, and then replied.

He Li's trial training for the Nets is indeed over, but with He Li's current physical talent, there is still hope for him to play in the NBA.

And to enter the NBA, even if you only sign a rookie contract, at least you will have hundreds of thousands of dollars to support yourself and your mother. This is still possible.

Even if there is no game here in the NBA, wouldn't it be possible to return to China to play in the CBA?
As long as the mind does not slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties!
However, He Li thought so, but He Mu didn't think so.

"Xiao Li, I'm sorry for you! I'm not a competent mother.

I just want you to take care of yourself right now!Just don't worry about me!
It's getting late, I have to go back.

Xiaoli, if you have any difficulties, you can come to me, and I will... also save some private money. "

"Okay, I know, I'm leaving too." When He Li said the words before, he also thought of such an answer, and now that he heard it with his own ears, He Li didn't leave any regrets for himself.

Everyone has their own aspirations and cannot be forced.

In the 90s, a group of people tried their best to go abroad, but after going abroad, some people succeeded, while others failed.

He Li's parents in this life originally had some status and resources. After going abroad, they started on the road to success, but because their father took possession of things they shouldn't have, he passed away early, and the He family fell into ruin.

At that time, He Li was in junior high school, and the United States did not provide social welfare to foreign residents, so He Li was under a lot of financial pressure when he was in junior high school.

At this time, Mother He chose to marry an American, half of which was considered to be out of the sea of ​​suffering, and half of which was helpless.

He Li continued to enter high school under the support and care of He's mother.But because mother He had a new family and a new child, her feelings for He Li gradually faded.

Of course, there may also be situations that He Li does not understand. For example, He's mother has been under pressure from her family over the years.

In short, after He Li was 16 years old, He's mother almost cut off contact with He Li.The last help He's mother gave He Li was to help He Li pay the rent for two years at once.

If He Li hadn't become a substitute player for the school's basketball team in his sophomore year of high school and started receiving scholarships from the school, He Li would not have been able to graduate from high school.

However, there are not many sports scholarships in high school. Even if it is a full scholarship, after the tuition fee is waived, it is only more than 1000 US dollars a year.

The scholarship is enough for He Li to study and play seriously, but it is not enough for He Li to go on to college.

It is also because of this pressure that He Li immediately chose to participate in this year's NBA draft after he initially contacted NCAA universities and found that he had no chance of getting a full scholarship.

He Li once heard domestic public figures brag that American students don't need to spend a penny from their parents to go to college.At the beginning, He Li really thought that the welfare of the United States was good, and it didn't cost money to go to college.

However, after combining the memories of this life, He Li discovered that the tuition fee for college is more than 1 dollars a year. If the parents stop paying at the age of 18 and the university does not provide full scholarships, how can ordinary college students earn more than 1 dollars by working part-time for three months during the summer vacation?

Nowadays, there are not many jobs with a weekly salary of [-] (that is, a monthly salary of [-]), let alone a job with a monthly salary of [-] to [-].

As for student loans, there are two types of student loans in the United States, one is federal student loans with low interest rates, and the other is usury private student loans.

Think about it a little bit, since there are private student loans, can ordinary people apply for federal student loans?

Private student loans are a big pit!Poor students want to change their fate, so they can only bite the bullet and jump in.

The existence of private student loans makes the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, and it breeds a lot of crimes, making the campus atmosphere worse and worse.

Not only in the United States, but in the university campuses of many capitalist countries, a kind of easy girl called "sugar baby" is popular. They need to rely on "sugar daddy" to repay the high private student loans, so as to continue to study in school and live a decent life.

Of course, there is also a situation on campus where God rewards me with food, and I don't want to work hard and find a "nanny".

The emergence of domestic XX loans is also the result of cultural invasion.

When foreigners come to China, the stereotype of domestic girls is easy girl, and it is also because of this reason.Of course, some people are indeed due to distorted values, and this has nothing to do with it.

Closer to home, He Li met his mother in this life by chance, and He Li's refusal also made He Li let go of a worry.

He Li inherited his predecessor's identity and should have inherited his obligations. Now that he doesn't need to travel, He Li is also happy.

He Li stayed at home for two days. Every day, apart from collecting the draft information of each team this year, he would call to sign up for training camps of other teams, and then refer to the map to study how to go to tryouts.

But at this time, He Li entered the field of vision of some people.

"The New Jersey Times: The Kung Fu Boy Appears in the Army Aviation Arena, Staged a Blockbuster Action Movie!"

"East Rutherford Sports News: The future star of the Nets!"

"Newark Advocate: Chinese Kung Fu, one fights ten!"

Nets general manager Rod Thorn sat in his office and browsed through these newspapers. As a white man, Rod Thorn smiled unkindly when he saw these reports about what happened when he managed the Nets' trial training.

It's nothing to do with yourself, and the Asians beat the blacks, and the blacks fell to the ground in embarrassment. In the eyes of white people, this kind of picture is so funny.

However, as the general manager of the Nets, Rod Thorn still needs to find someone to understand the situation at the time.

It's obviously just a trial training camp for rookies, why is there an action blockbuster staged?
Rod Thorne asked the person in charge of the trial training at the time to understand the situation, and then thought for a while.

"So, his physical fitness is very good? Is there a video? I want to take a look at this Asian kid." Rod Thorne said.

"There are videos recorded during his physical test, and there are also data recorded after his physical test." The person in charge of the trial training replied.

"Please bring it here for me! After finishing these, please help me confirm whether this Asian boy is Chinese!"

Rod Thorne spoke very politely, with a calm look, but the person in charge of the trial training knew very well that a boss like Rod Thorne was obviously very interested in He Li.

Nets coach Byron Scott, also in Rod Thorn's office, sensed this.

Byron Scott instinctively wanted to say: "Choose an Asian high school student? What a crazy idea!"

But halfway through, Byron Scott shut up.

Five years ago, the Clippers, holding the No. 7 pick in the first round, made a decision to reject Kobe Bryant immediately after the trial training for Kobe Bryant. They also said: "If we pick a high school student with the No. [-] pick, other teams will laugh at us."

However, Kobe had already won the championship ring last year, and entered the finals again this year. The finals will be over soon, but it seems that he can easily get a championship ring again.

And this year, the Nets happen to hold the seventh pick in the first round.

Byron Scott knew very well in his heart that no matter who Rod Thorne selected with the seventh pick, he was unquestionable!

You must know that Rod Thorne is a big man, but he personally selected the "God of Basketball" Michael Jordan!

And before Rod Thorn became the general manager of the Nets, this big guy served as the executive vice president of NBA basketball operations for a full 14 years!
Even Byron Scott has heard that NBA President David Stern attaches great importance to the Chinese market. In order to open up the Chinese market, NBA officials send a set of game highlights to the capital for free every week.

In addition, before the annual All-Star Game and the finals, Stern paid out of his own pocket to invite CCTV's broadcast team to do live broadcasts.

After hearing Rod Thorne mention the word "Chinese", Byron Scott knew it.
