The day before Christmas, there were no more people in the school.

After all, in Ugly Country, this Christmas is like the Spring Festival, and most students will go home during the Christmas holiday.

And Li Ang must be unable to go back. As a Chinese, he has no habit of celebrating Christmas.

Moreover, this trip is a waste of money.

Because most of the employees in the school are already on holiday, Li Angxi brings out a new piece of equipment - the key to the gate of the basketball court!

This prop allows Li Ang to enter and exit the basketball hall for training at any time when needed.

Of course, it's not just training. Li Ang also uses it casually. He wants to do anything in it. No one cares about it.

So, Li Ang was very bold...

Turn on the air conditioner to the maximum in the locker room.

Because it's really boring, Li Ang will practice alone until evening these days.

Li Ang, who used to be extremely despised by Dou M, is now becoming more and more like Dou M.

He even seriously considered the feasibility of getting up at four in the morning to practice football.

To be honest, if there was no system, Li Ang might not have worked so hard.

But with the system, you can see real-time feedback on your own strength changes, which makes you feel like you are addicted and you think about upgrading every day.

But today, Li Ang put away the basketball and walked out of the stadium early in the afternoon.

It’s not because Li Ang’s three-minute popularity has passed, three minutes? Who can I eliminate? It’s all starting in thirty minutes.

I left early, mainly because someone asked him to have dinner together this afternoon.

After arriving at a Chinese restaurant in Cleveland, a middle-aged man wearing glasses stood up and greeted Li Ang.

"Li, here!"

After hearing the shouts, many people in the restaurant turned their heads and looked at Li Ang and talked a lot.

"It's him, he looks stronger than in the newspaper!"

"20 wins and 0 losses, amazing!"

"If I were the general manager of the Cavaliers, I would choose him this year!"

Faced with people's comments and smiles, Li Ang was a little proud.

In Ke Village, our Lao Li is also a famous young man now.

"Li, I'm so glad you can come. Come on, order whatever you want." The middle-aged man greeted Li Ang politely, and looked at Li Ang's body.

So long, so thick, so greedy!

Li Ang also greeted the other party politely, and then looked at the menu of this Chinese restaurant.

Fried noodles sandwich, Tianjin rice...

You can't even find a serious Chinese dish on the menu at this Chinese restaurant.

Forget it, get used to it.

Since I came here, have there been fewer inappropriate things?

After ordering two dishes, the two sides stopped talking and got to the point.

The man in glasses leaned over to Li Ang, his eyes becoming serious: "Li, you know, no one can refuse the summons of Duke Blue Devil!"

The middle-aged man did not beat around the bush and brought Duke's name out of the way.

That's right, Duke.

This middle-aged man is a Duke University scout, specializing in NJCAA scouting activities.

After reporting Li Ang’s situation to coach K, he sent a scout to get in touch with Li Ang first.

That's the famous old coach K would not make a special trip for an NJCAA player.

When Li Ang received the call a few days ago, he was also very surprised.

He never expected that a wealthy family like Duke would come to him.

But after that excitement, Li Ang fell down and analyzed it carefully, and found that things might not be as beautiful as he thought.

Duke at this period had a luxurious lineup known as the "golden generation".

Bathir + Elton Brand + Mageti, bringing Duke infinitely close to the national championship.

These three have made a name for themselves in the NBA in the future, and their strength can be seen.

So, Duke is not short of stars now.

Instead, there are no screws to assist the stars.

Li Ang has gone here, I am afraid he has to talk about life with the water dispenser.

Duke came to find him, probably because he was attracted by his defense, rebounding ability and strong enthusiasm, so he wanted to be a blue-collar engineer.

Although Li Ang is not a person who is too ambitious, one thing is to say, if you are a blue-collar worker in the NCAA, which blind NBA team will choose you?

Duke's team culture is comparable to a dog's piercing, so the screws can only be screws.

So, after the other party said the words "No one can refuse the Duke Blue Devils", Li Ang asked casually: "Does the team have my place?"

The scouts were also frank: "You can start with the substitute, but even so, you are still an important part of the team. You know our goal, we fight for the national championship!

How many opportunities do people have to play in their youth in this life?

Even if you have enough college, you will only have four chances at most. As for the chance to win the championship, it is even more slim.

And now, you have the opportunity to pursue dreams that many people cannot realize.

Think about it, Lee. The great years of youth, wearing Duke jerseys, fighting on the battlefield. Cruelty, passion, tears, regret, ecstasy, passion and victory, what else is more meaningful than such youth!?”

The scout was so excited that he believed that any young man would be excited when he heard such a speech, and he yelled that I would play for Coach K.

But Li Ang was older than his physiological age after all.

Moreover, Li Ang used to eat too much of this kind of cake in the country and vomited!

When reading novels, the author of the shaved crumbs would draw cakes and say that he would like to make more money every day, but in fact he would be gurgling every day.

Only the few such as Lao Ge have true conscience.

Li Ang was already immune to these cake painting techniques.

Mature people will not listen to what others say, but will always be clear about their needs.

What Li Ang needs is not only passionate youth, but also the favor of the NBA.

Duke is indeed a prestigious basketball school, and they have produced countless NBA players.

But there are also many blue-collar workers who disappeared after Duke's four years of fighting.

It’s not that you will definitely be selected if you go to Duke.

Scouts thought Li Ang heard: passionate, youth, victory, good!

In fact, what Li Ang heard: Dear, there is no full scholarship here, there is not necessarily a chance to perform, and may not be selected by the NBA. As a screw, you have no ball rights and can only smoke at the bottom corner.

So Duke has to think twice about this.

After dinner, the scout also gave Li Ang a Christmas gift.

According to regulations, NCAA teams do not allow money to interact with student players, which will be considered illegal recruitment.

But there are policies above and countermeasures below. Scouts to fund players such as being free from gray areas is the norm in the NCAA circle.

Holding the gift, Li Ang walked alone on the empty streets of Ke Village.

Although Li Ang is just a foreign festival, he feels a little lonely when he sees every household wearing socks and tinkering with Christmas trees, but he can only go back alone.

When he returned to the dormitory, Li Ang put down the gift and found that there were several missed calls on the landline.

Li Ang dialed back and answered the phone an old woman: "Hey, who do you want?"

Just as Li Ang was confused, a familiar voice came out: "I'm looking for me, give me the phone number. Hello? Li, what did you do just now? The phone number was blown up and didn't answer."

"Oh, why didn't you do? I had a meal with a scout from Duke University. He also gave me a pair of sneakers, although it was not the style I like."

"Du...Fuck, they're blind!" Boss Fu said on the other end of the phone that it was unfair.

As one of the two NJCAA demons, why didn’t Duke come to me, a genius?

What can Old Li do? He can beat people. He knows nothing about basketball! Go to Duke to play basketball? He Li Ang doesn’t have the ability to do this yet!

Through the phone, Li Ang could smell the sour smell coming from Maryland.

"But don't worry, I haven't considered it yet. They said, let me play as a substitute."

"Fuck, then it seems that they are really blind. What kind of substitute is it? It would be great to just let you play the opponent's star."

By the way, I passed the exam before the Christmas holiday!

I, Francis, studied for so many years, and have never passed all the exams!"
