Basketball Dragon

Chapter 12 Came to Syracuse University
The United States, Indianapolis, the World Men's Basketball Championship group match, the scene between China and the United States, Li Hai and Xia Weiliang sat in the stands at the back and watched the game with great interest.

After coming to the United States, Li Hai felt like a little boy, spending Xia Weiliang's money all the time.

Thinking of Xia Weiliang's father seeing his vigilant eyes, he was very embarrassed.

Two months earlier, Yao Ming was selected as the No. [-] pick by the NBA Houston Rockets. Xia Weiliang was extremely interested in this game, and managed to buy two tickets.

Although Li Hai knew the result of the game, he and Xia Weiliang shouted hoarsely at the scene.

In the first quarter, China actually led Dream Five by 12 points, and the two were excited to see them. In the third quarter, the two teams still took the lead alternately. The US team scored 19 points.

"Hey, it's such a pity, but it's not in vain. The US team is definitely going to win the championship. We are also 12 points ahead of the champion, right?" After the game, Xia Weiliang still couldn't get enough of it.

Li Hai couldn't help laughing, "It's a pity, but this American team may not win the championship."

"How is it possible? Even if some stars don't come, the opponent is also an NBA lineup. The US team has never been defeated by professional players since they participated in the competition." Xia Weiliang didn't believe it.

"There is always a first time in everything. This time the US team is not strong enough. It can be seen from their performance on the field." Li Hai remembers very clearly that Dream Five was a tragedy. It lost to Argentina, Yugoslavia and Spain, only won No.6.

Rather, it was as if a spell had been cast, Meng Liu and Meng Qi both lost.

"It seems that you are very sure, then you say which team can win the championship, or let's make a bet, I will choose the US team champion, and you also choose a team, whoever wins can let the other side do it Something." Xia Weiliang said in a provocative tone.

Of course Li Hai knows which team won the championship, but he can't be too accurate, "The US team still has a better chance, after all, it is the host. If you bet on the US team, I bet on all other teams to be fair." , if you agree, I will bet."

"No problem, this girl is generous, it doesn't matter if you suffer a little bit." Xia Weiliang felt that she would definitely win, and smiled like a little fox, "Just be mentally prepared, I won't show mercy."

It's the time for the start of Syracuse University, and the first thing to do after reporting is to choose a dormitory.

The rule of Syracuse University is that if you find a roommate by yourself, you can apply immediately. If you don't find a roommate, you will be randomly assigned at the end. Xia Weiliang had a good chat with a freshman named Shirley Percy on the social network before. , things in the dormitory were quickly settled.

After Xia Weiliang left, Li Hai had no choice but to carry his luggage and wait for the final random assignment.

There should also be a Chinese Students and Scholars Association here, but Li Hai didn't ask for help. He hoped to assign an American student to be with him, so that he could practice English so that he could quickly adapt to the language problem.

"Hey buddy, you are a freshman, depending on your size, whether you want to join the football team or the basketball team."

Li Hai stood there bored for a while, and a student actually approached him. He couldn't understand the complete sentence, but he basically understood the meaning, and immediately replied concisely: "Basketball team."

"Great, buddy, Holt Eddie, I also hope to join the basketball team." The 1.8-meter fat man in front of him stretched out his hand to him.

"Li Hai, from China." He shook hands with the other party, and briefly introduced, all he can do now is these short sentences, and some practical words that Xia Weiliang helped him summarize.

"China, I know, Kung Fu, you haven't chosen a roommate yet, how about our dormitory." Holt Eddy said enthusiastically.

This fat man looked very nice, Li Hai immediately agreed to the other party's request.

"Haha, this fat man is really attractive, fat man, do you think you can join the school team if you find a good sports roommate? No school team will want you, yellow-skinned boy, you have been tricked. "

A few guys who got together and looked like freshmen laughed loudly.

Eddie's face was flushed, Li Hai really couldn't hear what those people were saying, he didn't feel good about these whining people, "Eddie, let's apply quickly, or others will pick the rest It's gone."

Seeing that Li Hai didn't mind at all, Eddie became happy again.

The environment of the Syracuse University dormitory is not bad, and the room for two is quite spacious.

Eddie liked to talk, and after putting away his luggage, he chatted enthusiastically with Li Hai. Most of the time, he was talking alone, and Li Hai didn't fully understand.

"It's right to choose the basketball team. The football team and the basketball team are the most popular in college. You will have the opportunity to meet the cheerleading girls, all of whom are hot."

"You know, it doesn't matter if you can't become an official team member. I must find a way to meet some hot girls. This is the real college life."

After a while, Xia Weiliang called and asked Li Hai to have dinner together.

"I didn't expect that you also found a roommate. You adapted faster than I thought. I really don't understand why people called you a fool in high school."

Xia Weiliang introduced Li Hai to her roommate, a blond girl who wears glasses but has a good figure.

Eddie couldn't help but whispered: "Is this your girlfriend? She looks like a model. You are amazing, but I prefer the hot body around her."

"It's just a high school classmate." For women, Li Hai didn't have the aggressiveness on the basketball court.

The main reason is that Xia Weiliang has helped him so much, it is impossible to say that there is no burden.

There are several cafeterias in Syracuse University. Li Hai is not very used to food, but it can fill his stomach.

In the afternoon, Li Hai went to the training hall of the "Orange Man" men's basketball team of Syracuse University, and Eddie followed.

At this time, the basketball team will accept the registration of freshmen. After a while, some talented ordinary students will be selected to join the school team, and those who are specially recruited will directly enter the school team for training. Li Hai is in a special situation, so he has to come here first to prove his ability ability.

The old players of the school team have already practiced on the basketball court inside, and Li Hai immediately saw Coach Jim Boyhan, a tall and thin old man in good shape, who also played in the NCAA when he was young.

After saying hello, coach Jim Boyhan pointed to a strong white player and said, "Li Hai, right? You have to fight with these guys first. You are all freshmen this year, and you are all applying for the forward position. "

"30 minutes warm-up time, get ready."
