Chapter 205 Friendship
Coach George already had a rough idea of ​​Han Ziqi's preliminary evaluation in his mind.In his heart, Han Ziqi belongs to the type of player who has excellent offensive ability, has his own singles skills, and is very confident.However, due to his limited physical fitness, he will send more points on the defensive end. If he plays now, although he can score, the points he loses on the defensive end will far exceed the points he gets. We will definitely take advantage of his defensive loopholes to target.

"Hey, kid, how old are you this year?" Coach George shouted towards the court.

"Coach, I'm 17 years old." Han Ziqi responded to the coach on the sidelines.

"17 years old? That's right. Although you can't compare with our talented high school students in the United States, your offensive talent is already very good." Coach George said silently in his heart.

"Okay, boys, enough of the trouble, we're about to start today's training." Coach George directed to the players on the field.

At this time, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a big black man walked in and said to the coach, "Coach George, hello, I am a freshman this year, and my name is Paul."

"Oh, warm up quickly, we are about to start training." Coach George ordered.

"Hey? Paul? You also joined UCLA?" Han Ziqi was surprised. It turned out that he met his only acquaintance and friend in the United States here.

"Wow, Owen, what a coincidence, do you also go to school here?" Paul was also very surprised.

"No, no, I'm just training with the team. I'm not old enough to go to college, and no school is willing to take me, hehe." Han Ziqi patted his head and said embarrassingly.

"It's okay, I think you played well, and you will always have a chance later." Paul encouraged.

With Paul training together, Han Ziqi immediately felt very happy. Here, he finally felt the long-lost friendship and trust. Although this is slightly different from his teammates in his distant hometown, it still makes Han Ziqi feel very satisfied.

A day of training was coming to an end. Before the end of the training, Coach George organized a practice match within the team. The two sides were the freshman team and the veteran team who had just joined the team.Han Ziqi won a starting position because of his outstanding performance in the heads-up before the training started. He will play with Paul and fight side by side.

Before the start of the game, Han Ziqi tested the ability values ​​of both sides. Among the freshman players, Han Ziqi had the lowest ability value, while Paul had the highest ability value. Paul's ability value has reached an astonishing 59 points, which is almost comparable to that of the players in the team. The strongest player. UCLA's head star is the junior Stephenson. His ability value has reached 61 points. He participated in the NBA draft before and has been selected and signed by the Charlotte Hornets. Therefore, the team's current head star has naturally changed to the current Stephenson.

The development of this practice game was beyond Coach George's expectations. The starting team with an average ability of around 57-58 should have far outperformed the freshman team with an average ability of 53-55, but the freshman team was under the leadership of Han Ziqi and Paul. Under the leadership, the score of the veteran team was tightly bitten, until the end, the game came to a final result. Although Paul scored 35 points and 18 rebounds, he was still powerless to prevent the team from reaping a loss. They only lost by two points, but judging from the expressions of Han Ziqi and Paul, they are not satisfied with this. In this game, Han Ziqi scored 17 points and 8 assists, and his performance was also very good. Coach George felt the most. To my delight, the freshman team lost only 2 points to the veteran team in the end, and the combat effectiveness shown by the combination of Han Ziqi and Paul also greatly exceeded my expectations, but it is a pity that Han Ziqi is not an official student of this school , cannot appear as an immediate force in the upcoming NCAA game.

"I must recommend this Chinese kid to the coach in a while, and try to win him now. This way I can build a young golden team." Coach George thought silently.

After training, Han Ziqi and Paul went to have dinner together. Not surprisingly, they ate burgers together again.

"Paul, don't you get tired of eating these every day? I used to love hamburgers when I was in China. After I came here, I ate these almost every day. I almost threw up." Han Ziqi gnawed on the hamburger wanting to cry without tears.

"No, it's normal for us to eat these since childhood. What do you eat in China?" Paul asked curiously.

"Eat fried vegetables, Chinese food, have you tried it?" Han Ziqi responded.

"I have eaten Chinese food, and I ate it in China Town, and I don't think it's very tasty." Paul showed embarrassment.

"Haha, that's because it's not authentic enough. When I have a chance to go to China in the future, I'll treat you to authentic Chinese food, such as BJ's roast duck, hot pot, and big plate chicken. You won't be disappointed!" Han Ziqi patted Paul on the shoulder.

"Okay, when we become famous, we will definitely have the opportunity to go to China together." Paul said expectantly.

"Yeah!" Han Ziqi laughed.

During his days in the United States, Han Ziqi finally reaped the happiness brought by friendship, which made him not feel so boring in the subsequent training.During this period of training, Han Ziqi and the freshmen got along very well. As newcomers in the team, they would naturally be "bullied" by the old students. and sometimes being teased by old students, but Paul will always show up to rescue Han Ziqi at the right time, which also makes Han Ziqi feel very warm.

Coach George's suggestion was not accepted by the principal. The principal didn't understand where an ordinary Chinese kid got such great magic power, and he wanted to make an exception to admit an unknown person. This is impossible.Coach George had no choice but to walk out of the principal's office regretfully.

Han Ziqi followed the team for more than half a year of training. During this period, Han Ziqi spent his 18th birthday, and also witnessed the team's regretful fall in the top sixteen of the NCAA. As a freshman Paul looked very seasoned in the NCAA field. His fiery performance quickly attracted the attention of countless scouts. Paul, who could have announced that he would participate in the draft, did not decide to go to the draft because Han Ziqi finally got an invitation from UCLA. At the beginning, Han Ziqi will compete for UCLA in the NCAA as a freshman.
