I'm really not a superstar

Chapter 11 The First Pot of Gold
Back at school, Dorsey's schedule was tight.

He has to hurry up and prepare for the final exam.

The NCAA's first league has performance requirements, and major colleges and universities also have their own standards.

In the previous life, both Anthony and Ben Simmons missed the John Wooden Award (NCAA Player of the Year) because of substandard grades; Gao Guohao, "Iverson of Bay Bay Province", was unable to represent the University of Missouri because of poor grades Participate in the NCAA Division I.

Many stars participate in the NBA draft after only one year of college. In addition to rushing to make money, poor grades are also an important reason for repeated failures.

Dorsey majored in educational psychology.

Now it is hard for him to imagine teaching and educating people with his own face, whether the students can accept it.

However, it is estimated that the grades of my students should be good. After all, at that stop, they can be used as goalkeepers, which has an absolute deterrent effect on young people.

He is very fortunate that he majored in liberal arts. If he majored in mathematics like David Robinson, or majored in graphic design and computer imaging like Chris Bosh, or even civil engineering, polymer materials and chemical engineering As a pure science major, I am definitely going to fail!
In fact, the first thing he did after returning to school was to submit an application for changing majors.

He applied to transfer to the "Chinese Language and Chinese Culture Studies Major".

American universities generally do not have majors related to Chinese language, but the University of Memphis is an exception.

The University of Memphis has the first Confucius Institute in Tennessee and the south-central region of the United States, a Chinese language and culture education center, and a number of related undergraduate majors.

Dorsey's reasons for changing majors are very good: I just learned that I have 1/8 Chinese blood, and I am so excited that I can't help myself!
Out of curiosity about ancestral history and culture and a sense of belonging, I made this application. I also hope that through my popularity and influence in the school, more students will know China and understand China. The United States and the United States build a bridge and bond of cultural exchanges...

Laomei is a country without history, so it attaches great importance to ancestors, history, and traditions.

Therefore, Dorsey's reasons are very strong in their view.

And Dorsey's status as a star player in the school can also receive special care in many things.For example, as long as you complete the credits, you can graduate, no matter which major you are in.

The Confucius Institute at the University of Memphis has just opened, and it needs to increase its popularity and influence. Now that a sports star has taken the initiative to join him, the person in charge of the Confucius Institute is of course happy to see his teeth but not his eyes.

The only troublesome thing is that changing majors requires passing the Chinese Language Proficiency Test, but this is not a problem for Dorsey now, and he can pass with his eyes closed.

However, changing majors is a matter of next semester after all, and now I have to deal with the final exam first.

The advantage of majoring in liberal arts is that as long as you are willing to take the time to endorse, your grades will not be too bad.

When it comes to rote memorization, the Chinese say second, but no one in the world dares to say first.

Even though Dorsey has never met the various concepts and statements in the books, he has memorized them by heart after a week of burning lights and nights.

In addition to what is on the test paper, the final exam requires the completion of an essay.

Dorsey naturally came at his fingertips, and the title was "A Brief Analysis of the Differences in Educational Culture and Background between the East and the West".

The argument of this thesis is clear, the arguments are detailed, and the arguments are clear and powerful. What's more rare is that the way of thinking and the angle of view of the thesis are all Chinese, like a person who has lived in China for a long time and can only come to it through practice, thinking and perception. results.

As a student who has been tortured by exam-oriented education for more than ten years, who hasn't thought about it.

These dissatisfaction and complaints brought up in China are deviant and outrageous, but foreigners like to watch them!

After reading this paper, a senior professor from the School of Education called it "amazing" and "unbelievable". He felt that it was more profound than his decades of research on Eastern education!
The paper was also automatically rated as an excellent paper.

While Dorsey was studying hard, the NCAA's "Ultimate Final Four" also moved to Houston.

In the first game, Ohio State University, led by Oden, bloodbathed Georgetown University. Hibbert, who was regarded as Oden's rival before the game, was taught to be a man by "The Great". He only got 6 rebounds, but received 4 fouls .

The match also netted Joey Dorsey $15.

When talking on the phone, Tom Le's face was like a rotten persimmon, and he praised his cousin for being a god.

Joey Dorsey instructed his cousin to put all of his $52.5 into the next game with interest.

Tom was a little hesitant. After all, the $6 he made was not warm enough.

However, when Joey Dorsey reiterated the previous agreement between the two, Tom obediently followed his cousin's instructions and stud all the University of Florida Gators.

As Joey Dorsey expected, the University of Florida Gators defeated championship favorite UCLA 73-57.

Joey Dorsey's disposable funds became $95.55.

The final final was between Ohio State University led by Oden and the University of Florida Gators.

Originally, the team led by Oden was more optimistic, but before the game, news broke out that Oden's old injury had relapsed and his right wrist could no longer exert strength. For a while, the odds of the University of Florida Gators dropped sharply. The previous 1:1.96 quickly dropped to 1:1.28.

Although Joey Dorsey knows that the University of Florida will be the eventual champion, such odds are no longer attractive.

So he decided to change the game!

Regarding this eye-catching final, the gaming company has many ways to play, in addition to the outcome and the score difference, there are also the scores of key players.

Especially after Oden was injured, facing the inside combination of Noah and Horford, how many points he can score has become a hot spot for people to bet.

0 points and 1 lost 7.2,

1 to 5 points 1 to 3.8,

6 to 10 points 1 to 2.2,

11 to 15 points 1 to 3.7,

16 to 20 points 1 to 4.5,

20 to 1 for over 6.4 points
This time, Joey Dorsey has the element of gambling.

He only remembered the story of Oden beating Noah and Horford with one arm in his previous life, but he didn't know exactly how many points he scored.

But since it is a hit, it must be a beautiful data, so Joey Dorsey chose the "20+" option.

To this end, Tom had a heated argument with Joey Dorsey.

"Cousin, you are crazy! Oden is amazing, but his wrist is injured!"

"Even if you know more about the NCAA and understand the true strength of the team, how can you guess the players' impromptu performance!"

"This wave has already earned enough, why take risks!"

But Dorsey was unmoved and insisted on his choice.

Making money is only one of the purposes, and testing the execution and loyalty of the cousin is the most critical!
As a time traveler, it is not difficult to make money, but it is more difficult to find a suitable pair of "white gloves".

In the end, Tom compromised and slammed the next sentence:
"If you lose, the first thing you do tomorrow is to sign with me and sign up for the draft!"

After the betting was completed, Joey Dorsey was also uneasy, it was 100 million US dollars!From the past life to the present, I have never seen so much money!

Although I am very sure that I can win, what if this world is different from the previous life?What if the incitement of the butterfly wings he traveled through caused a chain reaction?

Are you a little impulsive!

Impulsivity is the devil!

Worrying about gains and losses, he couldn't even memorize the books, and finally made it to the NCAA finals.

After 40 minutes of fierce fighting, Ohio State University still lost to the Florida Gators.

But "Emperor" Oden, despite his defeat, beat Noah and Horford with one arm, played a game-high 38 minutes, scored 25 points, 12 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, and 4 blocks. days of data!

And at the moment when the final whistle sounded, the funds in Dorsey's hands became $636.8 million!
After deducting loan shark fees, taxes and Tom's part, the three games of the Final Four netted Joey Dorsey $400 million!
The rest is the time to test Tom.

One day later, when Tom brought two large travel bags containing $1 million in cash to Dorsey, the first sentence Dorsey spoke was:
"Tom, you have widened your path!"
