Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

ten minutes later.

Smith found Li Shengli, who was resting on the sidelines, and revealed that he was the chief assistant coach of the school team, and told him that the head coach Eddie was waiting for him in the office to "receive".

Looking at Smith, who was so excited that he was a little crazy, Li Shengli thought he had encountered a lunatic. Fortunately, John knew Smith, so he avoided a misunderstanding.

...

bishop's office.

"Hi, Li! I'm Eddie Payne, the head coach of the team." The head coach Eddie tried to keep his tone as calm as possible, "I watched your game just now, and you performed very well, so on behalf of the team, You are welcome to join."

Different from his self-confidence and overbearing on the court, Li Shengli off the court has become that kind big man again.

When he learned that he was called to the coach's office, he was very excited. He thought that the coaching staff must have taken a fancy to him and planned to let him be a training partner. team.

Join the team?

What are you kidding?

Although he played very well in the game just now, his physical strength was exhausted, and he felt that he couldn't make up for it after eating two or three meals. If he keeps playing, his tight food expenses can't afford such a toss.

"Wait, Coach Eddie, I didn't say I wanted to join the school team."

What?

This guy actually refused to join the school team?

Eddie was a little confused.

what happened?

It doesn't match the plot set in the script.

Hearing the invitation from the team, shouldn't this kid be so excited that he couldn't help himself, then wept bitterly, and then he just showed that he will definitely work hard in the future?

Could it be that this kid wants to make some exorbitant demands because of his abnormal physical condition?

Yes, it must be so!

Eddie quickly confirmed his thoughts and expressed his understanding at the same time.

Because the more talented the player, the bigger the appetite, and those players who dare not ask for anything are often salty fish on the bench.

His only thought now is to hope that Li Shengli's appetite will not be too big. Although he is the head coach of the team, the NCAA is different from the NBA, and there are really not many conditions he can give.

"My dear Li, it's okay. Tell me, what do you want?"

Li Shengli touched his head, and said with a silly smile: "It's a bit embarrassing to say, I participated in the trial training for... money, I hope I can become the team's training partner, with an hourly salary of 10 dollars!"

Is it time to make a request?

Hearing Li Shengli's words, Eddie had such an expression on his face, but after a while he noticed something was wrong.

etc!

What he said was...a sparring partner?

This guy wants to be the team's training partner?

Eddie felt that he was going crazy. He was ready for Li Shengli to open his mouth, but he never expected that Li Shengli's requirements would be so...low.

"Li, I think you have misunderstood? You know, the team has never hired a training partner." Eddie explained.

"Never recruited a training partner before? But John...wait a minute, oh shit, this guy dared to lie to me." Li Shengli suddenly realized that he had been fooled by John, probably this guy just wanted to drag him to accompany him for trial training That's all.

"That's right, we have never recruited sparring partners, and we don't need to recruit sparring partners from outside!"

"Well, it seems that I have misunderstood. Coach Eddie, if there is nothing else, I will go back first." Li Shengli was a little annoyed, and turned to leave to settle accounts with John, while Eddie was sweating anxiously.

The current situation of the East Carolina University Pirates is terrible. The team's recruiting is in a mess, and no suitable high school players can be found. On the other hand, the team's starting players are about to graduate, and the whole team is completely in a mess. .

He urgently needs a strong player to save the field, and Li Shengli is obviously the most suitable one. If Li Shengli is let go, then... the regular season that is about to start in November, the Dongka Pirates still cannot take off the hat of the big team.

"Wait a little longer!"

"Li, as long as you don't talk about money, I can try my best to meet your other requirements. You should know that the NCAA has express regulations... all players are not paid, and any behavior that promises remuneration to players in private is also illegal. Yes, if found out, the punishment will be very severe, and I don't want to make fun of our careers." Coach Eddie had no choice but to popularize the NCAA regulations once for Li Shengli.

However, Li Shengli didn't care about the NCAA's regulations at all. The $10-per-hour sparring partner that he had agreed to pay fell through. This made him frown and felt very upset. "Coach Eddie, you don't need to explain. I think I should go back."

"Li, this opportunity is so rare, you really don't think about it anymore?"

"Don't think about it, I've already decided."

After finishing speaking, Li Shengli was about to leave, but Eddie racked his brains and tried his best to keep Li Shengli.

"Li, do you know how many people in the school want to join our team? As long as you join us, I believe you will be envied by your friends. This is an honor!"

glory?

It's funny, glory can't be eaten as a meal, and I haven't eaten enough, so it's useless to want glory. Li Shengli took a few steps forward without looking back.

"Li, you don't have a girlfriend, do you? As long as you join the school team, I believe there will be many beautiful girls willing to associate with you."

girlfriend?

Li Shengli pouted, but still didn't look back.

As the saying goes, you can only think about sex when you are full and warm, and you have not yet settled your own food and clothing. Why do you want a girlfriend? Is it to compete with yourself for food?

"Li, wait a little longer." Eddie broke down and could only make a last resort, "If you are willing to join the school team, as long as your grades pass and your training meets my requirements, then I can apply for you A full scholarship for the next semester."

Click!

Hearing the full scholarship, Li Shengli shuddered.

It's not so easy to get a full scholarship from an American university, it's ridiculously difficult, students like Li Shengli can't even dream of it, and now Coach Eddie has promised to apply for a full scholarship for himself.

The $10-an-hour sparring job is gone, but a chance to get a full scholarship comes? Is this hallucination?

You know, the full award can not only avoid some messy expenses such as tuition and miscellaneous fees, accommodation fees, and book fees, but also nearly 20,000 U.S. dollars in tax-free income.

Twenty thousand dollars? !

According to the exchange rate in 1991, 20,000 U.S. dollars is equivalent to more than 100,000 renminbi, and when the per capita annual income in China is less than 3,000, many people will not earn that much money for most of their lives.

Thinking of this, he only felt his brain congested and dizzy.

"The team has a total of 8 full-award spots, and there are a few full-award players who are about to graduate, so as long as you join the team, I can..." Before Eddie finished speaking, Li Shengli turned around. The body and face are solemn and serious.

"Coach Eddie, do you think I'll join the team for a scholarship?"

"You... probably won't." Eddie forced an awkward laugh, thinking that Li Shengli rejected him again in disguise, but Li Shengli's answer surprised him.

"Wrong, I will!"

"Quick, tell me where the application form is, and promise to give me the full scholarship I applied for, you won't regret it!"

"When does the team usually practice?"

"When do we start?"

"Oh, by the way, during training...do you take care of the food?"

"Coach Eddie, I can't wait to play for this team."

What's happening here?

Eddie was confused again.

It never occurred to him that this guy turned his face faster than a book, and he kept refusing it on his front foot. After hearing about the full scholarship, he immediately changed into a different person.

"Lee, listen to me first! According to NCAA regulations, it is illegal for a team to launch a training camp before the start of the regular season, so you have to wait until the start of the regular season before you can officially join the team." Eddie explained.

"Then when will you wait, you won't regret it then?"

"The NCAA regular season usually starts in November, and there is still half a month to go. Don't worry, I will not regret it. As long as you can meet my requirements, I will definitely apply for a full award for you. Believe me, I am the ball The bishop of the team, I have the right!"

"Okay, okay, I agree to whatever you say now, tell me, what am I going to do now?"

"Uh..." Eddie wiped off his cold sweat, "Li, you don't need to do anything now, we will notify you in advance when the team starts its official training camp."

"Then let's talk about it, you can't go back on your word!"

"As I said, I won't go back on my word. If there is nothing else, I think...you should be able to go."

Eddie completely broke down. He never thought that Li Shengli, who was so powerful on the court, would turn out to be such a naughty and rogue-looking guy outside the court.

...

In the end, Li Shengli and Coach Eddie rechecked their verbal agreement.

Under the lure of a full scholarship, he agreed to join the Eastka Pirates. Unlike him, John who fooled him into trying out was dismissed by the team, which made John depressed for half a month.
