Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

"Ah, this, this, this..."

"Oak Hill High School is really an offer you can't refuse."

Dean Derek and Mr. Hibbert touched their chins and looked at each other, clearly seeing the light in each other's eyes.

If we only look at basketball prowess, Oak Hill High School is undoubtedly a much higher choice than Stuyvesant. It can be said that in the American high school basketball world, no one should be able to refuse the invitation to play and study at Oak Hill High School. If you can go

As for Oak Hill High School, Stuyvesant will definitely pass.

Mr. Hibbert and Mr. Derek originally hoped that Zuo Li could enter a better high school. After all, street basketball is popular in Harlem, but the school is too poor. There are almost no basketball teams that can win, and this is true for all age groups.

It is almost impossible for Zuo Li to be noticed by the good high school basketball teams.

So they hope that Zuo Li can enter Stuyvesant High School. Although the basketball team is not strong, the school is good. This can be regarded as leaving a way out for Zuo Li. If he can't play basketball, he can still find another way.

"But, is this possible?" Hibbert asked. You can't get in by just getting in. The selection is not as strict as Stuyvesant's cultural exam.

"I have applied before, and they should have received my application now. If everything goes well, there will be a response this week." Zuo Li continued. He naturally knew what Mr. Derek and the coach wanted. To be honest,

He was still very touched.

However, he had planned to go to Oak Hill High School for a long time, so when he graduated from the 7th grade at the age of 14, he wrote an application. Of course, he also worked hard to make a videotape of his training.

After mailing it, Zuo Li put a lot of thought into it. Just trying to find a way to get a usable handheld camera was already a big deal.

There is no way, in this era, this is also the best way to prove one's strength. After all, Oak Hill High School is far away in Virginia, and it is not practical to go there.

As for why I chose Oak Hill High School instead of a local high school in New York, it is naturally because it has a long history of basketball, cultural heritage, brilliant team results, ample exposure, and an extremely rigorous school spirit.

There are no mobile phones, no cars, you are not allowed to go home for the whole semester, you are only allowed to wear uniforms, you have classes on Saturdays, and there are ward rounds at night, and you turn off the lights and go to bed on time, there are no buildings, and there is no nightlife.

This is absolutely a hellish life for most precocious American high school students, but for Zuo Li, it is simply the best place to improve his skills.

Of course, the most important thing is the basketball strength there.

In one of the few ESPN national high school annual game live broadcasts in 2001, super high school students James and Anthony performed a hot performance of Mars hitting the earth.

Zuo Li watched the entire live broadcast. While watching, the cat-and-mouse duo expressed their incomprehension. After all, a high school league could be so fun to watch. Why bother climbing up the wall to peek at other people's TVs? How tiring it is to squat down!

However, during the game, the two of them couldn't care less about being tired. They even learned to do Asian squats in order to watch the game. Zuo Li was stunned for a while, and he felt that the game was indeed very charming.

The final result was that James, who is now regarded by everyone as "the strongest high school student in history," contributed an all-around performance of 36 points, 12 rebounds, 7 assists and 6 steals, while Anthony scored 34 points.

More importantly, Anthony's Oak Hill High School defeated St. Mary's High School led by James 72:66. This game was the only game that James' St. Vincent-St. Mary's High School lost this season, and Oak Hill High School was even more terrifying.

to remain undefeated throughout the season!

The myth of Lao Zhan's undefeated season has been shattered, which is enough to show the overall strength of Oak Hill High School.

Moreover, this is the second time in three years that they have maintained an undefeated season.

The strong men of Douzong are so terrifying.

Although the total number of students in the school is only 164, including 22 teachers, it does not affect this boarding school with a sparse population and extremely rigorous school spirit. It has become the most famous and powerful basketball high school in the United States, and has trained 122 NCAA players.

, 22 McDonald's All-American high school star players, and more than 20 NBA players.

It can be said that as long as you enter high school at Oak Tree, you have basically obtained admission to a prestigious NCAA school or even the NBA.

In recent years, Oak Hill High School has undoubtedly seen an explosion of talent. Anthony, who led Syracuse University to win the NCAA championship this year, was the top player at Oak Hill High School.

And as far as Zuo Li knows, future Eagle King Josh Smith will transfer to Oak Hill High School during his senior season this year. Of course, Durant, Lawson and Jennings, who are one year older than Zuo Li, will also be there.

Joined Oak Hill High School in the past two years.

And ‘Martial Saint’ Jackson, who had already joined the NBA, had already shined in the NBA at this time. Of course, it was not big enough and he had to wait for a wave of Auburn Hills.

Being able to be teammates with people like "the top three point guards and the top five forwards in the country" is the most ideal environment from both a competitive perspective and a winning perspective.

It has to be said that Zuo Li's idea is still perfect. If he can enter Oak Hill High School, Zuo Li will definitely be greeted by a bright road.

However, who would have thought that sometimes fate is so magical...

"Okay, since you have made the plan, we will wait for your good news!" Hibbert happily patted Zuo Li on the shoulder. If it really happened, then he would have taught him how to break into Oak Hill.

A high school man.

Mr. Derek also looked at Zuo Li with satisfaction, as if his child had grown up at this moment.

"Then let's talk about the title contract." Now that the school matters are over, it's time to talk about the contract. After all, 150,000 a year plus various terms is definitely a lot for Zuo Li.

The money is also a guarantee for his future development.

…

While Zuo Li and the other three were chatting in the coffee shop, the Oak Hill High School Basketball Office received letters from all over the United States and even from Asia. These letters were basically for applying to join the basketball team. Zuo Li's application

It is also mixed in and is inconspicuous.

However, the person in charge of sorting out the envelope immediately picked out Zuo Li's envelope. After all, it contained a video tape, which looked very conspicuous. They would also give priority to the applicants who sent the video tape. After all, it is much more intuitive than a piece of paper.

.

And there was no surprise. Zuo Li's application successfully passed the preliminary review and made it all the way to the final list of six people. It has to be said that several assistant coaches at Oak Hill felt that the people in the video had a very solid foundation and their own conditions were also very good, even though they were from Asia.

We are still far away in Harlem, New York, but that doesn't matter. Strength on the basketball court is what matters.

In this way, Zuo Li's video tape was placed on the desk of Oak Hill High School head coach Steve Smith. He is considered the most legendary head coach in the high school basketball world. He has been working at Oak Hill High School for 19 years and has achieved a total of 687 points during this period.

With an impressive record of 28 wins and 28 losses, he is also a well-known figure in Oak Hill High School.

In the afternoon, Steve Smith returned to the office and picked up the information on the table as usual. The new semester is about to begin. He has been selecting fresh blood for the team. Now, the 12-man roster already has 11 people. These

He has carefully selected everyone, and now there is only the last spot left.

As expected, the quota will be chosen from the 6 people on the table, and soon, he eliminated four of them, leaving only the last two, and Zuo Li was on the list.
