Chapter 55 The Battle of the Center
After the game, the players of the Challenger team smiled and bowed to their opponents with undisguised disappointment in their eyes.Xu Hao also felt very unhappy. As a player, no matter what game, losing is always sad.

Harden walked over and put his arms around his shoulders, whispering, "You've done a good job, it's not your fault that you lost the game..."

Xu Hao shook his head and said dejectedly: "Thank you for your consolation, but I think if I can become stronger, maybe I can help the team win the game. Of course, my teammates are not strong enough, which is why we lost. root cause."

Harden rolled his eyes and pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "Hey, brother, you overestimate yourself. Even if you are strong, it is difficult to lead the team to victory directly, because I will be stronger than you after training. At that time, it is not certain who wins and who loses!"

These words were a bit heartbreaking, but Xu Hao knew that Harden was joking with himself, so he just laughed it off.

Suddenly Harden looked around and said mysteriously: "Xu, have you ever thought about going to the United States to study in college? I know that you Chinese have good academic performance. If your scores are enough, maybe we can study in the United States." Fighting side by side in college.”

Xu Hao scratched his head, and said helplessly: "My family's conditions are average, and I don't have the ability to send me to study abroad, unless...unless I can get a basketball scholarship like you! But it's too early to say this, when the time comes Lets see!"

For Xu Hao's statement, Harden felt a little regretful.In his opinion, the other players on this team are certainly good, but Xu Hao is the one who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him. Thinking that he may be wasted in China, Baobao feels bitter!

At this time, Gong Xiaoyang had finished communicating with Pera and started to form the team. Xu Hao hugged Harden hard and prepared to go over and join his teammates.Harden thought for a while, took off his jersey and stuffed it into Xu Hao's hand, and said sincerely: "Let's keep it as a souvenir!"

Xu Hao looked at the shirtless Harden and was speechless for a moment.He looked at the sweat-soaked jersey in his hand, nodded vigorously and said, "Thank you, James, I think we will join hands one day!"

Everyone else is very envious of Xu Hao getting the Harden jersey. As long as his eyes are not blind, he can tell that this little fat man must have a bright future. If he gets a high school jersey he wore, maybe a few years later The value can be doubled.

Of course, Xu Hao accepted the jersey only because he regarded Harden as a real good friend. Although the two had known each other for less than a day, they already cherished each other.If it wasn't for Gong Xiaoyang who only gave everyone a jersey, he probably would have given it away too.

The next morning, Gong Xiaoyang and his coaching team left Lakewood with 15 players. Originally, Pera wanted to lead the team to see him off, but unfortunately they had a game to play that day, so they had to fight this team from China in advance. The team said goodbye.

The bus was running tirelessly on the seemingly never-ending expressway, and Xu Hao and the others almost fell asleep amidst the bumps.The next stop Gong Xiaoyang will take them through Nevada and Utah to Colorado to challenge the next team.

The highway network in the United States is very developed, and Gong Xiaoyang has limited funds, so it is impossible to fly around with a group of people all day.Even so, it took them a lot of time to travel from Los Angeles to Bailey, Colorado. They didn't arrive until noon the next day when they arrived in the town just before lunch time. Everyone relaxed when they saw the sign. in one breath.

Compared with Artesia High School, their opponent Pratt Canyon High School this time is not a strong team, but for the players of the Challenger team, even if the opponent is a full-bodied high school team in the United States, they must Be careful.

However, Pratt Canyon High School is different from Artesia High School. Their core is a handsome white man. To some extent, this game is a battle for the inside. Who controls the basket? Whoever wins.

This made Sun Lianlian jump up and down like a monkey in excitement, completely worthy of his last name.And after returning to the room at night, he couldn't fall asleep for a long time, forcing Xu Hao to listen to his long speech, expressing that he must beat his opponent Yunyun during the game.

Xu Hao was speechless about Sun Lianlian's optimism, and he still maintained a cautious attitude towards this game.Judging from what Gong Xiaoyang introduced to them, the big man named Jason Smith is almost 2 meters tall, which is half a head taller than Sun Lianlian. If Sun Lianlian wants to impress him in the competition, It still seems to be very difficult.

But what made Sun Lianlian feel very helpless was that this time Gong Xiaoyang actually changed the starting lineup, and the starting fifth position was Hao Yikun, who had always been at odds with him.Although Sun Lianlian didn't dare to yell publicly due to the power of Gong's guidance, he still complained to Xu Hao in private. He thought that his own strength was more suitable to be the starting center forward, rather than letting Hao Yikun go first.

Xu Hao patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Old Sun, don't you see that I am also sitting on the bench? Why do you have so many complaints? Calm down and see what the opponent is doing off the court, so as not to You will be blinded when you go on stage."

Sun Lian saw that his good friends did not support him, so he could only sit aside angrily and watch the game with a critical eye.He has made up his mind to keep an eye on Hao Yikun's performance so that he will have a legitimate reason to laugh at him after the game.

But Sun Lianlian soon discovered that he didn't need any reason to laugh at Hao Yikun, because he was blown away by Smith on the field.In the beginning, Gong Xiaoyang let Hao Yikun start because of his huge body. Sun Lianlian had already exposed his lack of confrontation ability when he played against Artesia High School, so Hao Yikun got a chance.

However, what Gong Xiaoyang didn't expect was that Hao Yikun's height and weight didn't hurt him, but his agility was really terrible, and Smith on the opposite side was a player with good footwork at the basket. Unprepared, he was dizzy.Most of the time, when he reacts and completes his turn, the opponent has easily hit the board and entered the basket, and he is powerless to stop it.

Gong Xiaoyang frowned on the sidelines. He didn't expect Hao Yikun to be vulnerable when facing Smith. Then he turned his attention to Sun Lianlian who was sitting on the bench. But he held his hand tightly, obviously eager to get a chance to play.Gong Xiaoyang couldn't help but touch his chin and thought: Should this kid be put up now?
