Basketball Dragon

Chapter 11 Forward, the direction of the dream
Xingcheng Mingde was immediately called for a timeout after being overtaken by No. [-] Middle School, but the adjustment ability of high school students is obviously not as good as that of professional players, and it cannot be changed immediately after a timeout.

Li Hai showed amazing outside ability at the last moment, and the opponent was completely at a loss.

No matter how to defend, there is no defense at all. After the timeout, the opponent missed a shot. Yizhong took the opportunity to take the initiative, took the advantage in the final confrontation, and won the game.

The regional champions belong to No. [-] Middle School, and the divisional finals, here they come.

It's a pity that the women's team lost to Star City Yali after a tough battle. The gap inside was too big, and Xia Weiliang tried her best, but there was no miracle.

The regional finals will not be held until after the Chinese New Year, and Li Hai's tense life can be a little easier.

Anyway, Xia Weiliang would turn the anger of not being in the regional finals into a motivation to urge him to study, he was used to it.

However, when the weather turned cold, news came from Xia Weiliang's father that Syracuse University was willing to give him a special basketball spot, the kind that would lower his academic performance without a scholarship, provided that his physical test scores were not faked. , otherwise he will be sued in court.

In this case, Li Hai's grades have reached the minimum standard, which is really surprising.

"Didn't Syracuse University promise to recruit me a special quota? Why did you get so many application forms from schools?" Looking at the stack of application forms from various universities in Xia Weiliang's hand, Li Hai was dumbfounded.

"Do you know if you cast a wide net, if a more famous basketball school takes a fancy to you and doesn't come to make a formal notice, who knows what will happen." Xia Weiliang said plausibly.

"It doesn't matter, I will also apply to other schools. We have to make all kinds of preparations. We must be prepared for good luck and bad luck."

After the grades reached the standard, Li Hai didn't go to Xia Weiliang's house anymore, and his main energy was also put on basketball training, without any relaxation.

After getting acquainted with her better, he felt that Xia Weiliang was a good girl.

But with his current mental age and current living conditions, it seems that he shouldn't think about chasing girls. Li Hai is a little entangled in this aspect.

The winter vacation was spent in a dull and hard-working way, and he was ready to study abroad. Li Hai also did not have the pressure of the college entrance examination. Compared with the rest of the team, he was much more relaxed.

After the second half of the third year of high school begins, the divisional finals of the high school league will also begin.

Every opponent in the regional finals should not be underestimated. The first opponent drawn by No. [-] Middle School was Jinling No. [-] Middle School, which is known as the strongest in the Southern District.

With height, speed, and accurate shooting, it is an extremely severe test for No. [-] Middle School's defense.

Compared with the match against Xingcheng Mingde, No. [-] Middle School's outside line is more painful. The opponent's style of play is based on speed, and even the speed of the center is not slow.

However, Li Hai's speed was faster, and he also took on the task of organizing this game. The score between the two sides has been very anxious. His feet also became fragile.

At the end of the game, Li Hai made a semi-final shot to help No. [-] Middle School win their first victory in the division finals.

In the ensuing competition, the competition at No. [-] Middle School completely turned into Li Hai's crazy performance, and they also played with Kai all the way, unexpectedly becoming the number one in the South District to everyone's surprise.

In late March, No. [-] Middle School played against Tsinghua High School at home to compete for a place in the finals.

This is the best result achieved by the No. [-] Middle School in a basketball game. The teachers and students of the school are full of enthusiasm, and Liu Kai also made a comeback.

In this game, Li Hai ranked first in points, rebounds and other statistics, but No. [-] Middle School was shot dead by Tsinghua High School's three-pointer. No. [-] Middle School's outside defense lasted until now and finally fell down gloriously.

Then Tsinghua High School defeated the opponent in the finals, or became the champion of the high school league.

The time is too short, if Li Hai can go directly back to the first year of high school, Li Hai will definitely lead the team to win the national championship.

This is youth, there are regrets but no regrets, each of them did their best.

The admission notice from the US has already been sent, Xia Weiliang was accepted by ten schools, and Li Hai unexpectedly received one more admission.

However, he chose Syracuse University together with Xia Weiliang without hesitation. In fact, Xia Weiliang had already made a decision that she wanted to be closer to her father. The main reason for filling out so many applications was to accompany Li Hai.

But she didn't know that Li Hai had actually made his decision a long time ago.

Staying in the same school as Xia Weiliang is an important reason, and the basketball team of Syracuse University will recruit several powerful freshmen, one of which is Carmelo Anthony, who was a first-team All-American in high school, and then Syracuse University won their only NCAA title.

Joining the "Orange Men" men's basketball team of Syracuse University, Li Hai will have the opportunity to show his face on "March Madness", and in that case he will be closer to the NBA.

After experiencing the college entrance examination, he will go to New York, USA with Xia Weiliang.

After explaining the situation to the relatives who lived with him all the time, Li Hai went to the District Civil Affairs Bureau once.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, Section Chief Zhang of the social welfare unit is still very kind to him. When he first provided him with life insurance, Section Chief Zhang was still Xiao Zhang. Go to the District Civil Affairs Bureau to find him if you have anything, and it has been ten years now.

Now that Xiao Zhang has become the chief of Zhang, his enthusiasm for work has become dull, and the only job he focuses on is welfare lottery sales.

Hearing that Li Hai said that he was going to study in the United States, Chief Zhang thought he had been cheated. After confirming it, he explained to him the basic life security policy for orphans, and told him that if he went to university in China, there would be subsidies. It's about to be cancelled.

When Li Hai left, Chief Zhang couldn't believe how this man could suddenly study abroad.

In the beginning, Li Hai didn't think that he would become like buddies with those members of the No. [-] Middle School basketball team. After the college entrance examination, a group of people held a farewell party for him and Xia Weiliang.

After drinking a few glasses of beer together, the women's team started whispering around Xia Weiliang, while the men's team pulled Li Hai to the other side.

The team members who have graduated are very excited, especially Liu Kai, who drank a lot.

"Li Hai, you are too despicable, too bad, you pretended to be a pig and eat a tiger, you planned it long ago, and now you are going to study abroad with Xia Weiliang."

"Yeah, yeah, at least three glasses of alcohol... No, it's better to have three hundred glasses of alcohol in the first grade of basketball goddess." Others also booed.

"It's okay if you don't want to be punished with alcohol, tell us how to get the favor of the goddess."

"Li Hai, it's good for you to be careful. If Xia Weiliang is snatched away by foreigners after going to America, we won't let you go."
