Chapter 208 Prospects for the World Youth Championship
a week later.

The reporters who gathered at us finally dispersed, and Li Changgeng never showed up. The reporters could only leave sadly with the report that "Li Changgeng is being treated in the hospital".After all, Li Changgeng is still just an NCAA player, no matter how good he is, it is only his performance in NCAA level competitions.Just these are not worth these reporters continuing to wait.

On the tenth day of Li Changgeng's hospitalization, the enthusiasm for the NCAA league in the media finally subsided.Reports about Li Changgeng and Li Changgeng gradually became scarcer and eventually they were no longer seen.Even the most enthusiastic Min Hangyu and Tom had to turn their attention to other news.

After all, he's just an NCAA player.

On this day, Li Changgeng was discharged from the hospital.With a bandage on his right hand and a slight limp, Li Changgeng appeared in the school.He still had a peaceful smile on his face, he still greeted his classmates kindly and gently, and he was still in his usual school uniform. Except for the bandage on his right hand and slightly limping footsteps, it was impossible to tell that he had returned from participating in the NCAA.Compared with Mozart and Paul, who walked so lightly, he was like a rock——he didn't feel the admiring gazes of beautiful girls all around him at all.

Sitting down in the seat, Li Changgeng's gaze involuntarily drifted to Selena's seat, where Selena was turning around to look back, the two looked at each other, and a sweet smile flashed across their faces at the same time.

Although the two have not had the chance to meet each other in the past ten days, they still miss each other on the phone. Every day when Selena leaves school, the phone on her body always rings on time, reminding her to be careful on the road; At that time, someone wished her good night; she was woken up on time in the morning by the ringing of the phone, and a gentle voice told her on the phone: Selena, it's time to wake up!Li Changgeng was naturally on the other side of the phone.Although not a single sentence touches on lovesickness, it conveys such a message all the time: I miss you!

The class bell rang and the students began to return to the classroom.A heavy slap on the shoulder woke up Li Changgeng from his sweetness, and Mozart said in surprise, "Boss, you are back!"

Turning his head, he saw Mozart's surprised expression. Li Changgeng was about to open his mouth. The teacher had already walked into the classroom with the bell ringing, so he could only smile and nod his head.

"Student Li Changgeng, please go to the principal's office!" the teacher said suddenly before class started.

Li Changgeng stood up in surprise, pointing at himself: "Me?"

The female teacher smiled sweetly: "Except for the famous young football champion, there is no second Li Changgeng in our university!"

Li Changgeng Li Changgeng's face was slightly hot, and he escaped from the classroom under the eyes of the whole class.

Principal's office.

Looking at the smiling principal Li Changgeng, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.It wasn't the first day he knew this old man with the honorable title of old fox. "Maybe one day he will sell him and he will have to count the money for him." This is considered the most objective and fair evaluation of the principal.

Who knows if his smile is calculating how to sell himself for a good price?Li Changgeng was secretly vigilant.

The old fox was full of joy. He first congratulated Li Changgeng on his outstanding performance in this NCAA competition, and then praised Li Changgeng fiercely.He has been boasting that he is rare in the sky and unparalleled in the earth.Li Changgeng was in a cold sweat, praying in his heart that this was the purpose of the old fox calling him over.Otherwise, Li Changgeng really can't imagine—with such an exaggerated foreshadowing, isn't the theme... Could it be that the old fox is really going to sell himself?
"Principal, if you have nothing else to do, I'll go back to class first. Because I have already delayed a lot of homework for participating in the NCAA, Li Changgeng has to hurry up and review!" Li Changgeng looked like a good student, but the meaning in his words It’s really clear: stop talking nonsense, let’s get to the point quickly, Li Changgeng has no time to listen to your nonsense.

The principal coughed dryly, without any unnatural expression on his face, and even smiled brighter.Really worthy of being an old fox, Li Changgeng said inwardly.

The principal took out a document from the drawer, which was a fax.Pass it to Li Changgeng.

"What is this?" Li Changgeng asked vigilantly, but did not take it immediately.The headmaster motioned for him to see for himself.Li Changgeng took it.

"This is a fax I just received this morning from the basketball management center, officially recruiting you to participate in the training camp of the national youth team, and asking you to report to the training base of the national youth team within a week to start the training camp." The old fox blushed. Guang excitedly said, "This is a great honor. You are the first in China to be selected for a national team as a college student!"

Li Changgeng looked at the fax in his hand, slightly surprised.National Youth Team?I almost forgot about it!Geng Xiangzhi once told himself, but he asked himself to give up the NCAA at that time, but he refused.National youth team?Is it the World Youth Championship?Li Changgeng looked at the fax in his hand indifferently, he was not at all excited when he heard the news for the first time, and even a faint melancholy rose quietly in his heart.

"What's the matter? Don't you want to participate?" The old fox was surprised.The student in front of him wasn't even a little bit happy, but he didn't look surprised when he was so happy.The old fox suddenly felt very depressed.

There is a reason for the principal to be so excited. It is already an unexpected surprise for the NCAA to win the championship.Therefore, our university has become a model for the comprehensive development of morality, intelligence, and physical education in the province's education circle. During this period of time, the continuous media reports on our university are really beautiful.As the principal of the school, I felt proud when I walked there.Goddess of Luck seemed to be particularly fond of us. Just when the media died down, I suddenly received this fax that China's first national player college student would be selected from his own school.This is a great honor.The headmaster couldn't help but appear to be deep.

However, the protagonist of the incident does not seem to have any special surprises.The protagonist is not particularly happy, so why is he so excited as a supporting role?Not depressed?No wonder.

But the principal couldn't help but asked curiously: "Don't you really want to participate? It's such a great honor!"

Li Changgeng raised his head and sighed, "I have to go back and think about it. Can I reply tomorrow?"

The principal nodded, "Go back and discuss it with the dormitory people first!" Li Changgeng responded respectfully and walked out.

Staring at the back of the principal's office, the old fox couldn't help showing a confused and curious look.

Walking out of the principal's office, Li Changgeng looked up at the sky and sighed.National Youth Team, can I really participate?The first time Geng Xiangzhi personally said such an invitation, he was indeed overjoyed and excited. I believe anyone would have the same reaction.But to this day, Li Changgeng no longer had that kind of excitement and excitement, replaced by a touch of melancholy.

.

Participating in the World Youth Championship does not necessarily mean stepping into the professional football world and becoming a professional basketball player.But how convincing is this statement?Not to mention whether it will affect a lot of studies that have already been delayed, "the dike of a thousand miles is destroyed by an ant's nest", once he breaks through this bottom line and sees the high level of the world class, who can guarantee that he will not give up everything one day What about pursuing a higher basketball world?

But, I really want to participate!Looking up at the blue sky, Li Changgeng's eyes were full of fiery look.

When Li Changgeng returned to the classroom, a faint melancholy shrouded his face involuntarily. Even if he was as dull as Mozart, he felt that the boss was a little different after he came back from the principal's office.Among them, the one who cared the most about Li Changgeng was naturally Selena. From the first moment Li Changgeng stepped into the classroom, she felt a faint sadness.

get out of class is over, the stairwell.

Selena asked nervously, "Li Changgeng, did something happen?"

With a slight sigh in his heart, Li Changgeng thought that he still couldn't hide it from Selena's eyes.He took out the fax from his pocket and handed it to her.Looking down, a trace of melancholy flashed in Selena's eyes—naturally, a first love lover is unwilling to separate.Looking up, the melancholy in her eyes had disappeared, and she gently handed the fax back to Li Changgeng. Selena asked softly, "This is a good thing, don't you really want to participate?"

Li Changgeng sighed softly, and asked an irrelevant question: "Has Coach Major returned to school?"

"Still cultivating at home. By the way, Beethoven is leaving the team to prepare for next year's entrance exam. He has been waiting for you to come back before retiring. Are you going to the gym today? Coach Majoro may come too!"

"Retired?" Li Changgeng turned his back to Selena, and looked out the window quietly, "Retired, is he leaving too?" The melancholy in his bleak tone was undoubtedly exposed.

When the class bell rang, Li Changgeng turned around gently, took Selena's hand lightly, and said, "Let's go, class is over!"

After the third class in the afternoon, the basketball team's routine training time.

There was a lot of noise in the gymnasium, and the stands on the sidelines were full of onlookers.After winning the championship, the basketball team became famous, and the previously deserted stands are now overcrowded.Among the onlookers, girls accounted for a large proportion.Among them, Kuge Harris has the largest number of fans.The gentle and elegant Beethoven is also the object of pursuit by many female students in the school.

"Touch!" Mozart dunked coolly, and the basket slammed.Thunderous applause sounded all around at the same time.After falling to the basket, Mozart looked around with a cool face and a smug look.Turning his gaze to the entrance of the gymnasium, his cool expression could no longer be maintained.He grinned and shouted excitedly, "Boss!"

Because of Mozart's cry, the other team members turned their heads to look at the entrance of the gymnasium. Li Changgeng, who had been there for more than two weeks, was standing at the door smiling and looking at the players training in the gymnasium.

"Li Changgeng!"

"Boss, are you alright?"

"..."

The team members ran to surround Li Changgeng one after another. Even Harris, who was as cruel as Harris, put down his basketball and stood at the outermost edge of the crowd, looking at Li Changgeng with relief.

The enthusiasm of the team members dilutes the melancholy in Li Changgeng's heart, and he greets the team members one by one with a smile.The left hand held Captain Beethoven's hand at last, and the two were silent for a while, holding both hands tightly.

"team leader……"

Beethoven nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Everyone has been waiting for you to come back, as long as you are fine."

"Do you really want to leave?"

"I am already a senior in high school. I was able to participate in the NCAA and even won the championship. I have no regrets in my three-year basketball career. Now that you are back, I can leave with more confidence!"

Li Changgeng's eyes were a little bit astringent. Since he returned to the basketball team, Beethoven has always taken good care of him. As the captain, he is not only willing to obey his orders, but also firmly stands by his side at important junctures without reservation. support yourself.Captain, no one is more suitable for this position than Beethoven.Taking a deep breath, Li Changgeng tried to calm his tone: "Will you come back often?"

"Of course!" Beethoven patted Li Changgeng on the shoulder lightly and smiled, "Even if he quit the basketball team, Li Changgeng is still our student. It is only natural for him to watch the basketball team's training." He looked up. The students on the sidelines who were watching, "Just like them!"

"Among those people?" Leonard smiled. "Aren't you afraid, Captain, that pretty girls will surround you and carve you up?"

"Hahaha..." There was a burst of laughter.In the laughter, the melancholy atmosphere was diluted a lot.

"Let's take a photo!" Selina got a camera at some point and set up a tripod.The team members surrounded Beethoven in the center, and Selina ran over to lean on Beethoven after setting the focus and time.

"Crack!" A light sound from the camera captured this scene forever.

Captain Beethoven retired, and left the basketball team with a gentle wave of his hand under the attention of all the basketball players.His No. [-] jersey, signed with his and his entire team's name, is displayed in the basketball team showroom.As the first basketball captain of our basketball team to lead the team to the championship, his jersey will be permanently displayed there as part of our basketball team history.

Beethoven's captaincy left behind by Li Changgeng was expected to be filled by Li Changgeng.At Li Changgeng's proposal, Leonard was elected as the vice-captain.

And Coach Majoro still didn't come in the end.

Li Changgeng, who has long been accustomed to the position of acting coach, led the team for training as usual.Because the injury has not healed, he sat on the sidelines to direct.He yelled orders in his mouth and kept waving his arms. Li Changgeng seemed to be a real coach.And the team members who have long been accustomed to his command also enjoyed it one by one.Mozart and Paul's cool performances were gone, and Harris' individual training was also canceled, and everyone was training seriously under his command.

The students on the sidelines were amazed by the situation in front of them.Who is this guy who appeared for the first time in more than ten days?Discussions sounded quietly.

What is the content of the discussion?Li Changgeng didn't hear a word.

It was getting dark and the training was over.Except for Li Changgeng, the students of the basketball team are basically boarding students.After waving goodbye to his teammates, Li Changgeng got on his bicycle and left the school.

But the road he walked was not in the direction of returning to the dormitory.

After crossing the road and alleys, and asking passers-by a few times, Li Changgeng finally stopped in front of a residential building.After settling down on the bike, I climbed a few flights of stairs, stopped in front of a door, and rang the doorbell.

"Who is it?" A familiar voice came from inside.

"It's me, Coach Majoro!"

The door opened, and Coach Majoro's huge body appeared inside.

"Li Changgeng!" Coach Majoro's face was full of surprise.

"Coach Major!" Li Changgeng looked at Coach Major inside the door with a smile, and opened his arms to embrace his huge body.The two have met for the first time since they separated before the NCAA.

The two hugged fiercely for a while, and Majoro looked Li Changgeng up and down with a smile, and patted his shoulder vigorously, as usual, he stopped when Li Changgeng's eyes turned black.

Majoro's granddaughter looked curiously at the young man who was able to stand safely after bearing such a heavy blow from her grandfather. She blushed and looked away after her grandfather gave a soft reprimand, and slipped back to her room.

After receiving the tea from Majoro, Li Changgeng took a sip and put it down.

Majoro said, "Your injury is okay, it didn't cause any major problems."

Li Changgeng smiled shyly: "It's almost recovered. How is Coach Majoro's health?"

Majoro shook his head, stared at Li Changgeng, and asked for a moment, "Do you have anything on your mind? But is there anything you want to tell me?"

Looking at Majoro in amazement, Li Changgeng nodded lightly for a while, reached out and took out a piece of paper from his pocket and gently handed it to him.

Majoro took the paper that Li Changgeng handed over - the fax, looked down and looked up and down, his face was filled with ecstasy, and he said happily: "Okay, this is a good thing." He looked up at Li Changgeng Asked strangely: "You don't seem very happy, don't you want to participate?"

"No, I want to participate!"

Majoro put down the fax in his hand, stared at Li Changgeng, and asked, "What's wrong with you? Or something happened?"

Li Changgeng was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Has Coach Major heard of Juyuan Group?"

"Of course I've heard of it. It is also a private enterprise that can rank among the top [-] in the world. Does this have anything to do with you?"

"The chairman and general manager of Juyuan Group are my uncle and aunt!"

Majoro was stunned, or rather shocked.After a long time, he asked in a low voice: "You mean, your uncle and aunt are the chairman and general manager of Juyuan Group."

Li Changgeng sighed, nodded slightly, and said: "Juyuan Group was founded by my uncle and aunt, and I am the heir of Juyuan Group."

Majoro opened his mouth slightly, half of Li Changgeng slowly closed it, his heart was full of shock.I have known Li Changgeng for some time now.The Chang Geng in front of him was the most outstanding Li Changgeng he had ever seen, and also the strongest player.But Majorlo never associated him with the son of the rich.In Majoro's mind, the children of the rich can basically be labeled as playboys.Even if this is not the case, it can be equated with being spoiled and spoiled. No matter how outstanding the children of the rich dormitory are, it is inevitable that they will have a somewhat arrogant temper.Unyielding and never giving up have never been the virtues of rich dormitory kids.Over the years, Majoro has watched Li Changgeng grow up.Although he liked to brag about Li Changgeng when he was a child, Chang Geng basically had nothing to do with the son of a rich man in his mind.No matter how boring the training is, he can persevere to the end; no matter how difficult the game is, he will never give up the opportunity to pursue victory; no injury, bleeding, or great pain can stop his determination to pursue victory.He is modest and prudent, and always treats people gently. The way those unruly guys on the basketball team are convinced by him is enough to prove his usual behavior.Look at his usual clothes - I haven't recognized his identity for a while.

After a long time, Majoro finally recovered his ability to think from the shock.The son of a rich man? He still couldn't believe it.

"Coach Major?" Li Changgeng asked in a low voice after seeing Major remained silent for a long time.

Majoro nodded.He is someone who has experienced it, so he can naturally understand the doubts in Li Changgeng's heart.Thinking about it from another angle, if he were Chang Geng's uncle and aunt, he would probably say "no" to this matter.A basketball superstar is no more glorious than a successful entrepreneur.Aunts and uncles usually choose the latter path for their children.

After a long time, Majoro asked in a deep voice, "What do you want from me. Is it advice or encouragement?"

Shaking his head slowly, Li Changgeng said confusedly: "I don't know, Li Changgeng is very confused now!"

"confused?"

Nodding blankly, "For some time before this, I have been working hard with the goal of defeating the Raptors. After winning the game, I am not as happy as I expected. It is a great thing to lead us to win the national championship." It's a happy thing, but I don't know what to do in the future.

"Getting this fax from the principal, I seem to know what I should do. But I can't make up my mind to do it. I really want to see what the level of world-class basketball is." At the end of the talk, Li Changgeng already had a fascinated expression on his face, "I really want to see it!"

His words sounded a little incoherent and even inconsistent, but Majoro completely understood what he meant, and he was also very able to understand the feeling in his heart.From the first time he took him to participate in the NCAA Majorlo, he has already discovered that he is not as nervous as others when facing a strong opponent, but he can't help showing a look of excitement.That is completely immersed in the fun of challenging powerful enemies.After this NCAA, his strength has completely surpassed the NCAA level. After defeating the last NCAA opponent, the Raptors, the entire NCAA basketball world has no goal to challenge.On the single peak, looking at all the mountains and peeing is his current portrayal.But Li Changgeng is not someone who is used to waiting alone for challenges from others, he is interested in taking the initiative to challenge stronger opponents.And the World Youth Championship gave him this opportunity.

But because of the family relationship, he may only be able to watch the opportunity slip away from him.Under the subtle influence of more than ten years, even he himself is not sure whether to seize this opportunity.
