The genius of the basketball madman is on the left

The basketball atmosphere in California in 2003 was still strong. Although the Lakers lost their hegemony in the playoffs and failed to achieve four consecutive championships, although OK, who ruled the league for three years, was repeatedly exposed to discord, this did not affect them. They are the biggest favorites to win the championship in the new season. The addition of Payton and Karl Malone allows them to sit on a terrifying F4. In the new season, no one thinks that the San Antonio people, who just won the second championship in team history, have any chance to stop the Lakers' hegemony.

Of course, there is still one person who knows, and this person is Zuo Li who just flew from New York on the east coast to San Francisco, California yesterday.

But although Zuo Li was a Lakers fan in his last life, he has no time to take into account the upcoming collapse of the Lakers dynasty. Simply put, the current situation of Zuo Li is not much better than the future Lakers, no, even worse.

To put it simply, Zuo Li encountered a hacker, and he was rejected!

"How should I say it, Boss, it's about what you say, do you want me to rush in and punch that kid right now?" Tom, who came here with Zuo Li, was eager to try at the gate of Palo Alto High School in San Francisco.

"Okay buddy, it doesn't matter, it's because our thinking is too simple." Zuo Li spread his hands, a little helpless.

A few days ago, Zuo Li, who had confirmed the recruitment plan in his heart, couldn't wait to take the plane and set off. Counting the previous life, this was only the second time Zuo Li came to San Francisco, but Zuo Li didn't have the heart to appreciate the local customs , but went straight to his first target.

Palo Alto, that's right, Zuo Li's first goal is Jeremy Lin, who is also a Chinese player, and he is studying in this middle school at this time.

Although Zuo Li got Harry's approval before leaving, if someone is willing to transfer, then Stuyvesant High School will give some compensation and discounts, but Zuo Li still decided to find some top students, otherwise he would not pass the exam. But I lost my adult.

So the first thing that popped up in Zuo Li's mind was the future Harvard University's top student, Jeremy Lin, who was born in 1988, was also very suitable for his age. He once led his high school to win the California local second-level league championship. He can also contribute 15.1 points, 7.1 assists, 6.3 rebounds and 5 steals, which is a proper high school killer, so he was selected here as the No. [-] one stop.

At the beginning, it was quite smooth. In the arena of Palo Alto High School, he easily saw Jeremy Lin who was training. At this time, Jeremy Lin was preparing to enter the sophomore year. According to the rules of most high schools in the United States, he at this time It was a critical period to attack the school team, and Zuo Li didn't talk nonsense, and he showed his intention when he came up.

However, it was rejected by Jeremy Lin.

"Brother, although you and I are both Chinese, it's not that I don't want to help you. You know, this is my hometown, my parents are here, and, Stuyvesant, you know." Jeremy Lin spread his hands.

"I know you, I've seen you on the news, you beat Alstom, it's cool, but streetball is not the same as a real game, so...sorry."

The tone was very polite, but there was distrust inside and outside the words, Zuo Li saw that poaching was hopeless, so he could only leave regretfully.

Standing at the door, thinking about it, Zuo Li only made some fame in the streetball world, but in the regular basketball world, he is still a blank slate. Apart from the embarrassing news of being rejected by Oak Hill High School, he has nothing to show for it. You have such a good record, poaching corners with empty teeth, it's no wonder that people can care about you.

"Maybe I really think too much, huh, I can do it myself." Fortunately, Zuo Li is not a weak-hearted guy. If he is rejected, he will reject it. Adjust the mood.

However, he still decided to continue his journey. He just got a signing bonus of 15 US dollars. Even if he can't find anyone, he can just treat it as a tour.

So in the next three days, Zuo Li and Tom wandered around in various places in California. Unsurprisingly, all subsequent poaching operations also ended in failure.

Zuo Li was not discouraged, instead he visited San Francisco and Los Angeles. After all, he came here, and then Zuo Li chose to leave California and go to North Carolina.

How can anyone who likes to watch football not come here? Zuo Li didn’t have a chance in his last life. Taking advantage of this opportunity this time, Zuo Li finally took a stroll here. After all, Jordan just retired and the atmosphere here is really real. Very strong, of course, Zuo Li's poaching operation has been suspended, after all, he has been rejected many times, those who are not possible simply don't go.

Slipping down in a circle, 12 days passed in a blink of an eye, and the last place Zuo Li wanted to go in a blink of an eye, Charlotte City, Charlotte Christian College, was also the most impossible place Zuo Li thought, To put it bluntly, Zuo Li just wanted to see what the cute god was like when he was young.

Along the way, I have to say that the campus environment is not bad, but the gymnasium is a bit broken. After searching around, Zuo Li couldn't find Mengshen's figure in the team.

"Impossible, did I remember wrongly." Zuo Li came out of the gymnasium and touched his chin. This is unreasonable. The future MVP should be in high school this year, why not.

However, just when Zuo Li was about to give up, he found that not far from the entrance of the gymnasium, a child with a height of about 170 and a baby face was standing there wearing a wide jersey. Putting on a pajamas, and he was anxiously talking to someone who looked like a coach.

Moving over silently, Zuo Li heard the full version.

"Coach! Give me a chance! I will prove myself!"

"Steven, listen to me, it's not that I don't want to give you a chance, it's not that I let you enter the school team, but you are too thin now, and, you are only 171 cm, although you shoot well, it is difficult for you to adapt to the court The intensity, listen to me, go to the gym and work hard, next year, when you are in your third year of high school, come to me again."

"But Dave is only a sophomore in high school, so he just went in!"

"Listen to me, boy, although he is rough, he is 188 centimeters and weighs 200 pounds. We need such a barrier to make up for our inside line, and we don't know the outside line, but you can only shoot three-pointers... ok Come on, why am I talking so much to you, I'm leaving first, and you should go to training quickly."

After a short conversation, the man who looked like a coach left in a hurry, while Mengshen stood there looking a little depressed. It seemed that this was not the first time he was rejected by the coach.

Zuo Li and Tom looked at each other, and Tom spread his hands, indicating that it could be him, right?Is it okay to be so thin?

Zuo Li rolled his eyes, you know der, gold always shines last, and why did he forget that Curry was not valued at all in middle and high school, and almost no university wanted him back then, even he His father's alma mater rejected them all, and he was so miserable. Not to mention that he was inferior to Durant, Oden, James, and even Jeremy Lin.

Isn't such a person exactly what Zuo Li needs!

So stand on the left three steps and do two steps, and go straight to Curry: "Stephen, do you desire power!"
