Chapter 89 A New Dream
"Ah?" As soon as Yan Lingfeng's expression relaxed, he immediately turned into a bitter gourd after hearing Zhu Yao's shouting. He slowly turned around and looked at Zhu Yao innocently.
"Come on, come on, come and sit down. Let's have a good chat today." Zhu Yao bent down and wiped the edge of the flower bed, then sat down and waved to Yan Ling with a smile. The expression on his face was like a wolf grandmother who lured Little Red Riding Hood to open the door.
"Oh." Yan Lingfeng reluctantly nodded, shrank his neck tremblingly and carefully sat down beside Zhu Yao. At the same time, he raised the alarm danger in his heart to the highest level, because according to his memory, Zhu Yao was the most sinister time at this time. As the so-called knife hidden in the smile, Zhu Yao is the battle in the laughing tiger. Fighting tigers.
"Ling Feng, tell me, what is your ideal?" Zhu Yao put an arm on Yan Lingfeng's shoulder and asked with concern.
"Is it ideal?" Yan Lingfeng narrowed his eyes and looked at the sky and replied, "In the past, my ideal was to have a hot kang head for my wife and children, and the farmer's mountain spring was a little field, but now I don't know what my ideal is."
"Well..." Zhu Yao was obviously swallowed after hearing Yan Lingfeng's great ideals. After swallowing a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, he asked, "Do you want to see American basketball culture?"
"American... basketball culture?" Yan Lingfeng has never thought about this problem. Although he has not been muddle-headed since his rebirth, he is also very confused. Of course, the most important thing in front of him is to make money, but Yan Lingfeng, who lacks start-up funds, can't turn into silver even if he has a golden finger, so he has never taken action. As for the rest, Yan Lingfeng really has no systematic plan.
"Yes, American basketball culture is a real culture. In the United States, college basketball and street basketball have their own unique culture. Personally, I think that unlike the NBA, which is very commercial, NCAA and street basketball can truly represent American basketball. The full name of NCAA is NationalCommittee AssociationAmerica, which translates to mean the American University League Championship. It is an association of more than 1,000 universities in the United States. It includes basketball, rugby, ice hockey, baseball and other sports, but because basketball is the most popular and successful, NCAA basically refers to the NCAA basketball league, especially the NCAA basketball league. In the United States, the popularity of the NCAA actually far exceeds that of the NBA. When the NCAA enters the final four stage, the heat will reach a very high level, even comparable to the momentum of the U.S. election. ESPN and other sports TV stations will also temporarily put the NBA aside and track and broadcast special reports throughout the day, and the ratings are always high. The American people, including upper-class people, are happy about the forward-looking analysis of the game, predicting the outcome and other things, because at this time they will find a sense of belonging. Compared with the commercial league NBA, NCAA players are not yet mature in mind and body, but they will go all out for every game. In college basketball, the tactics and coach's ideas should be more strict and meticulous, which also causes the suspense of victory and defeat in a final game system, and the game will be more intense and cruel. NCAA is young, sincere, crazy, and has unparalleled charm, but because domestic TV stations rarely broadcast According to the report, domestic basketball fans don't know much about NCAA. Only when you go to the United States and experience it in person can you feel the excitement brought by American college basketball.
Zhu Yao said so much in one breath. Like several treasures, Yan Lingfeng was also fascinated. He really knew little about NCAA. He knew that the two generations of flying people Jordan and Carter were from North Carolina, and he also knew that Duke's "K coach" became a dream. The head coach of the team, but he still knows little about the NCAA.
Zhu Yao paused for a moment, then looked at Yan Lingfeng and asked with a smile, "Listen to so many of me, is there any impulse to experience NCAA basketball?"
"That's true." Yan Lingfeng nodded honestly. He was really moved. If his life plan was still CUBA and CBA before that, then Zhu Yao's words undoubtedly opened another window for him. He remembers clearly that his fellow countryman Zhang Chaoxu became famous in the NCAA and was selected for the national team before returning to the domestic arena, but now Zhang Chaoxu should still be polishing the basketball team of Yantai Sports School.
Since Zhang Chaoxu can walk out of his life through this road, why not? Thinking of this, Yan Lingfeng's eyes flashed a hot light. He believed that with his good basketball talent and unremitting efforts, he could completely receive invitations from American universities.
Zhu Yao noticed Yan Lingfeng's eyes, and the light of the successful conspiracy flashed from the corners of his eyes. He gently patted Yan Lingfeng on the shoulder and said meaningfully, "There is one more thing I forgot to tell you. In the NCAA, if you want to play, your average academic score must be above 2.0. As long as you fail, you will immediately Don't go out to the game. These regulations are mainly to declare that universities aim for education, so athletes should still take education as their main goal. And compared with college students in the United States, foreign monks like us face much more difficulties. First of all, there are differences in language and living habits. If you can't speak fluent English, it will be difficult for you to integrate into the team. In fact, in my opinion, Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi's talent conditions are almost the same, but why did Yao Ming become the first-class center of the NBA in a short time, and Wang Zhizhi is still just a bench rotation player? There are many reasons, but I think one of the main reasons is that Yao Ming's English level is much higher than that of Wang Zhizhi. Do you understand what I mean?"
Yan Lingfeng nodded slowly. He really understood that the reason why Zhu Yao wasted so much saliva was actually to change the soup without changing the medicine. The fundamental purpose was to urge him to study hard, but Yan Lingfeng admitted that Zhu Yao's change of soup moved him very much. In order to taste the taste of this bowl of soup, he might really do it. Endure the bitterness of the smell of medicine.
"Teacher, can you tell me your story?" Yan Lingfeng only knew something about Zhu Yao's past. Hearing that he knew so much about American basketball, he couldn't help but be curious.
"Me?" Zhu Yao shook his head with a wry smile and said, "What do I have to say? The past is over, and it doesn't mean much to turn it out again. But if you want to hear it, I'll tell you. Do you know Song Tao?
Yan Lingfeng nodded gently. Of course, Song Tao knew that he had been the flag bearer of the Olympic Games. It seems to be the first player in China to be selected by the NBA, but unfortunately, less than two months after he signed the NBA contract, his knee fractured during a domestic training, and the road to basketball ended.
Zhu Yao closed his eyes and sighed slowly, "Song Tao and I are a group of people. At that time, the two of us, known as the Shandong youth basketball team, were invincible in the domestic arena. But later, the two of us chose a completely different development path. He took the career trajectory of most domestic athletes, the youth team, the provincial team, and then the national team. At that time, I insisted on going abroad to play, which was undoubtedly a very deviant behavior at that time. Therefore, after my trip, the national news media coincidentally blocked me. After I arrived in the United States, I finally won the favor of Vic Forest University with my own efforts. At that time, Vic Forest University was only known for business. The atmosphere of basketball was not so strong, and the Devil Deacon Team of Vic Forest University was not known. After all, we did not have Tim Duncan at that time, but I I like my team very much. Although I am not the starter of the team as a point guard, I am still very happy because I have learned a lot from the team's starting point guard Bug Boggs.
"What happened later?" Yan Lingfeng asked eagerly that he was only 1.6 meters tall, but he also knew that Boggs, who was bigger than the "gorilla" Ewing. Zhu Yao played a substitute for such a person, and it was not too much.
"Later..." Zhu Yao smashed his mouth and smiled bitterly, "Later, Song Tao was injured, his knee was fractured, and I was also injured, and the cruciate ligament of the knee was also torn. The two of us chose different basketball paths, but the result was the same. Because of our knees, we had to say goodbye to our sports career.
"Teacher, do you regret it?" At this moment, Zhu Yao is no longer a head teacher who can eat people in Yan Lingfeng's eyes, but more like a forgotten relationship, so he asked such a thing.
"Regret?" Zhu Yao frowned and shook his head gently, "Why do you ask that?"
"Although Song Tao retired early in his young age, he was successful and will always be remembered in the history of the development of Chinese basketball, but teacher..." Yan Lingfeng asked slowly. Although this question is very unkind, he must ask, because this question is related to the doubts in his heart.
"What do you regret, don't regret!" Zhu Yao was stunned for a moment and shook his head vigorously and said, "Men should be responsible for their decisions. Whether this decision is right or wrong, you have no right to regret it!"
"I think, I understand." Yan Lingfeng nodded heavily, and then looked at Zhu Yao from the bottom of his heart and said, "Teacher, thank you!"
"Ha ha, thank me for what? As long as you don't make trouble for me, it's the best thanks to me. Zhu Yao stood up with a smile and patted his buttocks, and then waved his hand and said, "Go back to class!" By the way, if I expected it well, it should be us who represent Shuiyun in the Yantai regional basketball competition!"
Yan Lingfeng nodded and then turned around and walked towards the classroom. Along the way, he was thinking about what Zhu Yao just said. Although Chinese basketball is not weak and poor, and it can even occupy such a small position on the territory of world basketball, Chinese basketball is far from being strong. In particular, Chinese basketball players have been famous for thousands of years and have been plagued by injuries in their careers. Other figures such as Wang Zhizhi and Yi Jianlian, who are popular in China, are stunned as soon as they arrive at the NBA arena. In his previous life, Yan Lingfeng once had an unreachable dream, which was to become the first defender in China to log in the NBA, but later, as he grew older and Sun Dasheng was born to occupy this place, his dream was naturally shattered. Now Yan Lingfeng has a new dream, which is no longer out of reach or fantasy, because his eyes have shifted from the NBA to the NCAA. There is no doubt that this is also an easier dream to become a reality.
returned to the classroom thinking nonsense. The second physics class had begun. Yan Lingfeng stood at the door of the classroom in a trance and shouted a "report". The physics teacher, who had been nearly a year old, was very rigorous in his studies. He put down the handout in his hand, turned his head to look at him and asked. He said, "What did you do?"
"Well, Mr. Zhu just called me something." Yan Lingfeng didn't expect the physics teacher to ask such a question. After being stunned for a long time, she answered.
"Oh...go in." The physics teacher looked at Yan Lingfeng suspiciously, and then nodded slowly and nodded.
In the eyes of the whole class who were curious or concerned or gloated, Yan Lingfeng quickly walked back to his seat, then pretended to take out the physics class and sat down, staring at the physics teacher who continued to lecture.
For a whole class, Yan Lingfeng maintained this movement and did not change until the physics teacher left the classroom, but he still did not change his posture. Han Dengyun stood up from his seat, came to Yan Lingfeng, shook his chubby palm in front of him, and whispered, "The spirit of heaven and earth are spiritual, as urgent as the law. Taishang Laojun arrived, and the demons from all directions quickly avoid!"
"Get out of here!" Yan Lingfeng reached out and pulled away Han Dengyun's pig's feet and stared at him and said, "What are you doing?"
Han Dengyun said aggrievedly, "I think you are evil, and I will kindly help you cast spells to exorcise ghosts. What a good heart! I spent a lot of real yuan in vain, but I didn't expect to hear the 'Wangwang' cry..."
"Go to hell!" Yan Lingfeng couldn't hear that Han Dengyun was curtly scolding himself as an ignorant mad dog, and immediately raised his leg and kicked it rudely. Han Dengyun hurriedly dodged and asked for mercy with a hippie smile: "Brother Ling Feng, I'm wrong! I don't dare anymore. Be by the way, why did the pig demon call you? Isn't it that you and Xueer's sister had an incident in the east window?"
"Send your sister!" Yan Lingfeng kicked out again. Of course, it was just a show. He would not really kick Han Dengyun. When he was considering whether to leak a point with Han Dengyun, he looked up but saw Lu Yunxue's concerned eyes in the front row. He hurriedly showed his smooth teeth and smiled at her, and then gently shook his head to indicate that he was fine.
