0007: [Take him! Tick him!]
At 10:00 a.m. on February 28, the Stanford men's basketball team arrived at the UC basketball hall for training and warm-up.
Scott was very excited about the upcoming game. He kept dunking, dunking, and dunking. As he said, he could not wait to show his talent. He hoped that he could get attention through this game and get into the NBA's sight.
As a basketball player, who doesn’t want to enter the highest hall representing the world’s basketball world?
Compared to Stanford's active efforts to warm up for the game, the University of Southern California had no response and their half was empty. Although the game was held at 3:30 this afternoon, they didn't look like they were going to warm up.
"Arrogant usc, really doesn't take us seriously." Thomson said angrily.
Li Zhen patted his shoulder and comforted him with a smile.
He couldn't say much, after all, it's hard for people to take seriously the situation at Stanford now. After all, Stanford was not strong at first, and the two core main players were injured and the head coach ran away. How could they look down on you?
After lunch.
The team practiced together for a while.
While everyone was about to take a break to regain their energy for the upcoming competition, Li Zhen was hungry again... His appetite exploded violently in the past two days.
When he walked into the restaurant next to the gym, he quickly ordered five burgers.
During the meal, he obviously felt a man sitting opposite him looking at him. This man was a white man in his 30s, who looked gentle and very well-educated.
Li Zhen thought he was surprised at his appetite. He quickly smiled and nodded to him, and then whispered: "I don't eat so much every day, don't be surprised."
After he explained this, the man opposite him laughed.
He asked: "Are you a Stanford player?"
Li was really surprised at how he knew, and the man pointed to Li Zhen's jersey and jacket.
Li Zhen quickly understood, and then introduced himself generously: "Hello, my name is Bruce Lee, and I am the point guard of the Stanford Crimson team."
"Hello, Kevin George! Full-time scout at the San Antonio Spurs Club." The white man also reached out and shook Li Zhen.
This shocked Li Zhen.
He didn't expect to come out for a meal and meet the NBA scout that Scott was looking forward to, or the San Antonio Spurs scout. Oh my God! This is too young.
However, surprise is astonishment.
Li Zhen did not follow the trend to boast about himself to gain his attention because he knew that professional matters were left to the profession. It is not a good thing for everyone to meet by chance and being too enthusiastic.
Kevin George was a little surprised that Lee was really calm. In many cases, as long as he showed his identity to NCAA players, most of the other party would immediately change color, treat himself with a passionate and even flattering attitude, and talk about his life experience and his basketball experience.
And the boy in front of him gave him a completely different feeling.
His curiosity couldn't help but improve.
Kevin George appeared in this fast food restaurant because he made an appointment with USC point guard Pruitt. He was very interested in the player. He believed that this guy had the opportunity to enter the NBA with his physical fitness. If he knew his personality and personality through further understanding, and was sure to match the atmosphere of San Antonio's locker room, he would recommend it to the management and coaching staff.
But now, it seems that Pruitt doesn't fit the Spurs standard. He made an appointment to meet at 10:30, but now it's almost a little bit.
Not being punctual and disrespectful to agreements can seriously challenge Greg Popovich's patience.
"So, are the burgers here really that delicious?" Kevin George started talking with Li Zhen while bored.
Li Zhen had just swallowed the second burger. When he picked up the third burger, he replied: "Frankly, I can't tell whether it is delicious. I just had a sharp increase in appetite these days, so I had to use these things to suppress the protests in my stomach!"
This is an interesting statement, Kevin George smiled and said, "You eat so much but you are so thin. I really envy your digestive ability."
Li Zhen had already stuffed the third burger into his mouth at this time, and he had no time to reply to his questions.
"I wish you a great performance this afternoon, and hope these burgers will become your spinach and make you extremely powerful." Kevin George stood up and said goodbye to this interesting Stanford player.
He decided not to wait for Pruitt anymore.
However, at this moment, a tall black player stepped in from outside. He was wearing a UC training suit and was about 1.9 meters tall. His figure was already very strong and had a clear muscle compared to the NCAA players.
However, judging from the expression on his face, he was very tired, even with sleepy eyes.
"Hey, brother. You're here!"
He walked over quickly, then hugged Kevin George very enthusiastically, and continued, "I'm really sorry. Our coach has been doing pre-match training. He explained a lot about today's game. I can't go to your date in time. It's really bad!"
He spoke very quickly, but he was not sincere at all.
Moreover, the smell of alcohol coming out of his mouth clearly showed that he was lying. He might be unable to get up because of a hangover.
The most important thing is that Li Zhenke did not see any usc players training in the stadium.
This is really a low-level lie.
However, neither Kevin George nor Lee Jin intended to expose him.
At this time, Li Zhen had already eaten the fifth burger. He planned to speed up and finish this... and leave immediately.
He has no habit of intervening in other people's conversations.
But just as he was about to finish his burger and leave, Pruitt said in a strange tone: "Kevin, have you even made an appointment with a Stanford player?"
His tone was questioning and dissatisfied, but more of it was disdain.
Just as Lee Jin was about to answer ‘We just happened to sit together’, Kevin George said in a gentle voice: “Yes, we just had a pleasant conversation.”
Kevin expressed his dissatisfaction with Pruitt in his way. In fact, he no longer planned to continue communicating with Pruitt.
And Pruitt thought so too.
When he met Lee Jin, he had great doubts about Kevin George's professional ability and was angry. He felt that Kevin George put himself together with the unknown Stanford substitute guard as a great insult to him.
Just as Pruit was about to get angry.
A voice suddenly appeared in Li Zhen’s mind: Pick him! Pick him!!
"This guy was drunk and sucked, and... he was such a shameless player. I want to deprive him of his talent. You hurry up and I will seize his talent!!"
ah???
Li Zhen, who was swallowing the burger, choked. He was selling him? How about selling him?
"I don't think we need to continue talking, Mr. George. I don't trust your professional vision. You can't find a player from anywhere and put him on the same table. I'm the point guard of Usc, I'm the first team player in the Pacific League! Goodbye!"
Pruitt left this sentence hard and turned around and left.
Kevin George did not try to keep him, he didn't even pretend to be polite, because he was sure that the Spurs would never need such a player.
He just looked at Li Zhen who was choking at the burger with a sorry voice: "I'm really sorry to let you participate."
Li Zhen took a sip of water and forcedly swallowed the burger in his mouth.
Then he raised his head and told Kevin George very seriously: "The next thing is the war between me and him."
This sentence made Kevin George even more blameless. He felt that his words that had pulled Bruce in were too irresponsible. He was thinking in his heart how to compensate the poor Stanford defender.
But what he didn't know was that the Stanford defender had a "positive energy baby" in his mind teaching him how to dispose of Pruitt!
Chapter completed!
