When I arrived outside the stadium, I saw this brand new stadium, which was renovated last summer. Last season, Pierce topped the best high school student in California and received the sponsorship of an old alumnus. The stadium was renovated. This season, it seemed like a happy match and won the championship in one fell swoop. It is said that it received sponsorship again, but it has nothing to do with Zhang Hao. He is about to graduate from high school.

Not big, there are only more than 3,000 seats, but it is here that Zhang Hao and his teammates have gone through two years of competition. He played more than a dozen games last season before he got a substitute, and now he has become the third team in the United States.

When he entered the stadium, Zhang Hao threw out a bunch of small cards and small packages he was holding, which attracted cheers from his juniors.

Although the senior high school season has ended, the semester has not yet passed, and joining the school team will still be carried out three times a week.

In the United States, high school basketball, even junior high school basketball, is not just entertainment and fitness, but the place where many children’s dreams begin. Even if they cannot become professional players in the end, they will strive for state championships and NCAA, which is also everyone’s dream.

It has long been the custom of the teammates who are popular in the senior year to bring "little gifts" to the team. However, in the senior year, in addition to trying to compete for NCAA players, many senior high school students chose to withdraw from the school team and review and take the college entrance examination.

Pierce and Zhang Hao are the only two remaining high school students this season, because they are both one of the best high school students in the state, both of whom are in the top five in California and have the possibility of becoming professional players.

Of course, it is only possible to see at present.

"Aix..."

Zhang Hao heard a shout, raised his hand to catch the flying ball, without saying anything, took off his coat and put it aside with his backpack, and went up one-on-one with Pierce.

In the high school competition, which high school has two top 50 players in the United States, it is basically invincible. This year, it is up to them to win another weekly championship with a record of 33 wins and 2 losses this year.

Zhang Hao averaged 22 points, 14.4 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 2.8 steals, 3.4 blocks per game, Pierce averaged 31 points, 11.4 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 4.4 steals, 2 blocks. The two of them got together, and no one in the state could stop them! The two games lost were because of a conflict in one game. The reason was very simple, discrimination. Then Pierce stepped forward and fought a fight together. Many people were suspended. Although there were only two games, Zhang Hao and Pierce could not play in both games, and then they both lost.

In the past, when Zhang Hao and Pierce were playing bullfighting, they didn’t think too much, just fight was right, but today, Zhang Hao had a lot of distractions in his mind.

At least one can rely on athletic ability to fight back and forth, but this time it turns into a one-sided and crushed.

After playing 20 balls, Zhang Hao and Pierce sat next to the ball rack for a while and Pierce asked, "Aix, what's wrong with you? It's different from you in normal times!"

Zhang Hao fought with Pierce this time. When he saw Pierce's comprehensive skills, he knew almost everything and always thought of himself, so he became distracted several times.

Without saying these worries, Zhang Hao responded: "I'm a little tired today."

"Don't worry so much, there will always be a solution. I'll ask the coach from the University of Kansas and ask him to recruit you too!"

"You want to get a reputation as a football boss before you even graduated from high school? I'll try again. The first-tier league team can't go, the second-tier league can do it, and the tuition is cheaper."

"God, there are not many good universities in the secondary league. You are almost 1,400 points, and the ball is so good. What school can't be reached... Are those dogs XXX blind? "

"You forgot that I'm Chinese."

“…”

When it comes to Chinese people, discrimination or not is secondly. Pierce remembered the one who was recruited by the University of Utah three years ago and said it was from a Chinese genius striker. He doesn't remember the name. At that time, the striker stole a place from the University of Utah and caused quite a stir among college students. Some people who obviously have nothing to do with them think that their chances were snatched. More importantly, the so-called Chinese genius striker played very ordinary, and it is said that the University of Utah regretted it.

Compared with high school students, college students are obviously much more realistic. From high school to college, there are two circles.

Also, information and communication technology is still very backward these days, and the popularity of computer communication and mobile communication has actually been in just a few years. Now, people are still reading newspapers, watching TV news, listening to radio and obtaining external information. Without the California basketball circle, Zhang Hao has no reputation.

Not to mention this, Pierce wanted to change the subject, but suddenly thought of something and said: "Aix, I was invited by McDonald's this morning and they wanted me to participate in the dunk contest."

"..." Zhang Hao looked at Pierce. If this guy said something, he must have been ready to participate, but he still refused to believe it. He replied: "I heard that Vince Carter from Daytona Beach Mainland High School is going to participate in this dunk contest..."

"I'm going to defeat him!"

Looking at Pierce's 196 cm tall, which was nearly 110 kilograms tall, and he was not as high as he jumped, Zhang Hao asked, "Paul, are you talking in your sleep?"

"You also think I will definitely lose? Then I have to participate!"

Pierce is so angry!

When he told his mother, his mother told him not to participate; told the coach that the coach told him not to participate; told the child next door who took him as his idol, and told him not to participate... Now there is another one!

"Come on! Do you need my help passing the ball?"

"Do you think I can receive your empty call? I'm almost the same as sending you an empty call... Wait, I remember they said they seemed to have sent you an invitation letter, but you refused."

"I don't have time to participate in any slam dunk contest. Interviews with those colleges are enough to give me a headache..."

Just as Zhang Hao waved his hand and said he refused to participate, subtitles suddenly appeared.

"Special signing player growth mission: shine! The dunk contest triggers."

"Shining! Dunk Contest:

Goal 1: Zhang Hao, a special signing player in the host team, received an invitation from the 1995 McDonald's High School Student All-Star Dunk Contest, please assign him to participate.

Reward: Lifespan of 15 days.

Goal 2: The host assigned a player must complete at least one full-point dunk in the slam dunk contest.

Reward: Lifespan of 30 days.”

"..." Zhang Hao looked at the newly triggered task and looked at Pierce again. At this time, Pierce started chatterbox mode again...

"Aix, you should go to participate. Look, there are many people who don't know your strength. You are famous locally in California, but you won't be able to go anywhere else. If you show off in the dunk contest, maybe a university will like you..."

When Pierce said this, he didn't believe it. Does Zhang Hao look down on his strength in this situation? Perhaps he is questioning Zhang Hao's strength, but more so, he is despised Zhang Hao's identity as a Chinese player.

This is a very unsolvable question. Zhang Hao played so well in his senior year. Although he was not as good as Pierce in singles, in terms of role in the team, there is no big difference between Zhang Hao and Pierce. The two complement each other, but Pierce is more dazzling. After all, he is a ball-holder.

Pierce knew very well that his friend was very smart, and he didn't believe this statement, let alone Zhang Hao?

But Pierce really has no choice. He really doesn't know how to help Zhang Hao.

After listening to Pierce's words, Zhang Hao nodded: "Paul, you are right. I am going to participate in the slam dunk contest. What about you?"

"Me?" Pierce blurted out: "I don't participate, I'm going to be funny... Uh?"

Suddenly, Pierce reacted and agreed?

"You really promised to participate?" Pierce's eyes widened: "I just said that! If you participate, I won't have any cameras?"

Seeing Zhang Hao nodding, Pierce hooked Zhang Hao's shoulder and said, "Then let's go to participate together! The Los Angeles Flying Group is about to make its debut!"

"I think the reporter is right, you are more like Charles Barkley..."

"You poisonous man, I want to duel with you!"
