Chapter 216 Prospects for the New Season
Han Ziqi has to fly from Hami to Shanghai first, and then fly from Shanghai to Los Angeles. This long-distance travel is very torturous for him, but fortunately, he has a passionate heart for basketball, so he will continue to No amount of difficulties and obstacles can stop him from continuing to yearn for the future.

A day later, Han Ziqi's plane landed at the airport in Los Angeles. Mr. Robinson was already waiting for him at the airport. After Robinson took Han Ziqi to Thomas' apartment, he explained a few words and left again. Han Ziqi received the The training notice was the day after tomorrow, and at this time, Paul was sending him a text message asking Han Ziqi out for dinner. He hadn't seen this friendly and powerful friend for more than a month, and Han Ziqi thought of him strangely. How well the NCAA performs depends to a large extent on whether you can hold on to Paul's thigh. Paul was already a favorite in the lottery area of ​​​​the NBA draft last year. After a year of polishing, his strength will only become stronger. (Lottery show: Every May, the NBA will hold an annual lottery draw ceremony, which is to put together the bottom 5 teams (not advanced to the playoffs) in each season. Draw lots in the form of "table tennis" to choose who can get the No. 14 lottery. Although each team has different chances of getting the No. A chance to pick a rookie and change the future of the team.)
"Hey, Paul, long time no see." Han Ziqi gave Paul a high five as soon as they met.

"Hey, brother, I seem to have gained a lot of weight after going home." Paul kept looking up and down at Han Ziqi.

"Haha, that's a must. Who made our XJ's food so delicious? I've been holding it back for a year. I want to kill those big fish and meat." Han Ziqi said drooling.

"Come on, I invite you to eat our western food today." Paul waved his hand, and the two entered a western restaurant.

"I talked to the coach and he said you will be the starter this season." Paul said suddenly at the dinner table.

"Oh, that's pretty good. I think I should be able to cooperate well with you if I start the game." Han Ziqi said after taking a bite of steak.

"I didn't go to the draft this year. First, I wanted to compete with you in the NCAA for one year. Second, last season we stopped at the top 2003 in March Madness. This really annoyed me. I want to win the championship and then enter NBA, just like Carmelo Anthony back then." Paul said seriously. (In 2003, Anthony led Syracuse University to win the NCAA championship and won the final Most Valuable Player award. In the same year, he participated in the [-] NBA draft and was selected by the Denver Nuggets with the third overall pick in the first round. The No. [-] pick that year was LeBron James, who had never played in the NCAA.)
"Well, Anthony won the NCAA championship as the absolute main force back then, which allowed him to be selected with the third overall pick. I think if it was you, there should be no problem with the top five, because I will still send you away Part of the performance!" Han Ziqi laughed as he spoke.

"Hahaha, I believe you, brother, we can cooperate very well. The revival of UCLA depends on us, come on." Paul raised his glass and said to Han Ziqi.

"Cheers." The two wine glasses clinked together.

The two basketball teenagers had nothing to do after eating, so they came to the school gymnasium to start training again. The two played heads-up. Of course, Han Ziqi lost to Paul, but Han Ziqi still let Paul rely on his own skills. I have suffered a lot.

"FUCK, I've already guarded those shots of yours to death, why are you still able to make those fairy shots! I'm so mad." Paul complained.

"Haha, this shows that I have talent, Kobe Bryant's kind of killer talent." Han Ziqi said triumphantly.

"You're right, brother." Paul didn't refute Han Ziqi's words. In his heart, he always believed that Han Ziqi was indeed that type of player. This can be seen from Han Ziqi's training and games. "By the way, brother, can you help me find the video of you playing in the national competition last year, I want to see it." Paul continued.

"Okay, this is easy to find, I can send it to you right now." Han Ziqi said with a smile.

The two then went home separately, and they had to go to bed early to prepare for the next day's training.

Today, Han Ziqi met his long-lost "new" teammates. Since it is still during the holiday, the freshmen have not come to the team to report. Only the current sophomores and juniors are left in the UCLA training team The senior players are the main force to play in the NCAA this year.

"Coach, long time no see." Han Ziqi extended his hand to Coach George.

"Oh, Owen, I haven't seen you for more than a month and you have become so fat? It seems that I have to train you well." Coach George smiled sinisterly.

"Coach, calm down, the devil's training will make me too tired to move. I still remember the foolishness I made when I first participated in the team training last year." Han Ziqi patted his head embarrassingly.

"Haha, I remember you were carried back by me." Paul leaned forward and smiled.

"To be honest, you two are our ace weapons in the new season. Paul will definitely be targeted by various teams this year, and Owen has not officially played a game yet, so other teams don't know you well enough. Owen was used as our secret weapon," Coach George said.

"Coach, do you mean to hide Han Ziqi as much as possible?" Paul asked.

"Yes, we can let Han Ziqi restrain his desire to attack as much as possible on the court. Anyway, we will continue to enter March Madness this year. As long as we use Han Ziqi's secret weapon in the key stage of the knockout round, we will definitely You can get unexpected results." Coach George continued.

"However, coach, I think this is unfair to Owen. I think he must also want to play. If he is not allowed to play or paddling on the court, he will not be happy." Paul said.

"Well, you're right. Let's study this matter slowly. I believe in you. We will definitely get good results this year." Coach George smiled at the two of them.

"Coach, I still want to play on the court. I think we still have to take every game seriously, because anything can happen in a basketball game, and we must always remain in awe of it." Han Ziqi said seriously.
