010 First Impressions
Li Zhe has had experience meeting netizens, and it can be said that he is familiar with the situation, so there is no need to take Xiaofei with him.
According to the agreed location, he rushed to the cafe, but did not see Breer by the window.
He searched carefully in circles, then confirmed, called a cup of coffee and sat down, looking out the window and thinking about life.
After waiting for twenty minutes, the coffee had already reached the bottom. He took out his cell phone and called Xiaofei.
After confirming that the address was correct, he shook his head slightly and was about to ask for a few bread to fill his stomach when a woman suddenly sat opposite him.
"Hey, I'm Breer, sorry for keeping you waiting for a long time."
Li Zhe looked up and looked closely for about five seconds, and smiled and said, "You are more beautiful than in the photos."
"Thank you, I actually arrived half an hour ago and have been observing you in the car."
When Blair said this, he looked at Li Zhe with a smile, wearing a white down jacket, with black hair scattered on his shoulders, and his cheeks were slightly red, as if a peach had just matured.
"Oh? Is this a game that tests men's patience?" Li Zhe was not angry either.
"I'm a little curious and a little nervous. This is the first time I've seen a netizen. I want to see what you look like and whether it will make it difficult to get along with." Blair's mouth raised, and a pair of little tiger teeth were shiny.
"Worry about me being ugly?"
"To be honest, you look a bit like the Korean actor in Fast and Furious, with a smaller face and bigger nose."
Thinking of Cheng Kang's face, Li Zhe couldn't help but shrugging his shoulders.
"What do you want to order?"
"Let's go to the restaurant. Xiao Fei said that you just finished training and need to replenish your physical fitness."
The bread was really hard to fill the stomach, so the two of them immediately checked out and left.
…
After about ten minutes, the two sat down in a Chinese restaurant.
Perhaps because of family influence, Blair skillfully chose a portion of Kung Pao chicken and a portion of cabbage, and told him not to add MSG with less oil and salt. Li Zhe ordered two portions of white-cut chicken.
After ordering good food, Brell asked, "Have you read any books or movies recently?"
"You are reading a novella called "American Tragedy". Have you read it?"
Brell nodded, "A man uses any means to lead to the final self-destruction in order to enter the upper class. There is a description of a prostitute's behavior that violates Massachusetts' laws, which led to the book being banned."
"That's a good book, and it's a big criticism of the concept of money supremacy. What's ridiculous is that this concept has not been curbed, but has spread from the United States all over the world and is proud of it."
“So you object to that value?”
"I don't object, but I won't commit crimes because of money."
"What if it's a billion dollars?"
"no way!"
"Okay. Change the topic, I heard you were selected for the basketball team?"
"Well, I'm going to play with your school tomorrow, and I'll play."
"Then I'm going to see, what are you good at? Dunk or three-pointer?"
"Although I haven't tried dunking yet, I should be able to do it, and three-pointers are OK."
"Then are you considering going to the draft and becoming an NBA player?"
"There are but no decisions have been made, and there are many great players next year."
"If you haven't become an NBA player, would you find a way to stay in the United States?"
“Maybe.”
"Oh." Blair raised his eyebrows slightly.
The two started chatting with each other from the first impression, then talked about values, and then talked about some family matters after serving.
After lunch, the two parted ways and made an appointment to meet in the stadium the next day.
…
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Li Zhe returned to dormitory 301.
"Why are you back?" Xiaofei frowned. "Aren't you supposed to accompany her to go shopping at this time?"
"It's just a meeting between netizens, and it's not yet reached the point of dating!" Li Zhe waved his hand.
"Do you have no feelings for her? Or do she have no feelings for you? Have you shown your identity as a coach?"
"It's pretty, but I'm not a Teddy dog, so I don't feel estrus that fast."
"What are you talking about?"
Li Zhe simply repeated the conversation, and Xiaofei slapped the table after listening.
"My silly brother, others ask you about your three-view questions and future development, but don't you understand what it means?"
"I understand, consider whether you can develop into your boyfriend and girlfriend, let it go."
"You should strike while the iron is hot! Forget it, let alone this, how about the basketball team?"
"I have become the number one substitute point guard and will play tomorrow."
"Ouch? So awesome? Then tomorrow I will take all the international students in the school to cheer you on."
"Don't brag."
"Of course I don't, but you're going to be our representatives right away, and there will definitely be a lot of people supporting you."
…
At 4 pm on the 29th, the Grand Center Arena, the basketball team locker room.
Head coach Tim stood in front of everyone, clapped his hands and shouted:
"In today's game, I specially invited scouts from seven teams including the Lakers, Nuggets, Kings, etc. to watch the game. This opportunity is very rare. I hope you can perform well and conquer them."
After Tim finished speaking, he blinked at Li Zhe.
Soon, DeRozan led the team to play, and cheers suddenly echoed on the scene.
The game is broadcast live by the University of Southern California itself and the video will be uploaded to the school’s official website.
One commentator said: "Today is a little different from usual. Have you noticed it?"
Another commentator said: "The number of spectators present twice, at least 3,000 people."
"I noticed that there are many Asian students. Did they suddenly fall in love with basketball games?"
"I guess it might be that Asian player fan, it's a star effect."
…
After a brief pre-match ceremony, the game officially started.
Riverside University starts with point guard Prit, who is only about 180, but his body is somewhat similar to Byron Davis; point guard Rodridge, former Nick, former Moro, and center Edward.
Riverside is not an NCAA first-tier league, and its strength is too far from that of the University of Southern California. In just 5 minutes, the score difference between the two teams reached 12 points, but Tim took the initiative to request a timeout to replace the substitute.
Li Zhe took off his coat and walked to the technical table, smiling at Blair who was sitting in the front row, who clenched his fists and signaled to cheer.
In the stands, the Lakers scout started writing: he was thin and not focused enough.
The game continued, Li Zhe dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, changed hands and changed directions under his crotch and shook Prit, pulled the ball back and pulled out three points.
With a clang, the Lakers scout made a mistake again: The choice to take action is not reasonable enough?
Riverside's offense, Prett dribbled the ball to the right wing and cooperated with center Edward in pick-and-roll.
Li Zhe made a steal in front, and Edward had a movement to cover the violation, but the referee failed to notice.
Prit took the opportunity to rush to the free throw line and scored with one-handed layup in three consecutive steps.
The Lakers scout curled his lips and wrote: the defensive choice is too risky.
Southern California attacked, Li Zhe dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, broke through in an early cross step, and rushed to the three-second zone to make an emergency stop and shoot in the mid-range shot.
The basketball came out of the box, and the Lakers scout shook his head and started writing: "Impatient!"
Riverside Branch attacked, Prit made a close breakthrough and forced a layup against Li Zhe's defense.
USC attacked, Li Zhe dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, and saw Prit take the initiative to move away from two steps and directly pull out three points.
Chapter completed!
