In the cafe, three people sat down by the window.

Chen Junhao picked up the coffee and took a sip of it gently to taste the pure American coffee, and praised: "This coffee is good."

"This is the best coffee near the university." McCarman said.

Jason Anthony asked: "Looking at your spirits, did you not suffer from insomnia last night? There is a jet lag between China and here a dozen hours."

Chen Junhao smiled and said, "My biggest characteristic is that I can eat and sleep. I fall asleep at 10 o'clock in the evening and I never dreamed until dawn all night."

Jason Anthony and Mike Carman looked at each other and smiled bitterly: "I can only say I admire it. The two years ago we went to Beijing to adjust the jet lag in just two days."

After such a start, the dialogue officially began. Three sentences remained in line with our industry, and the topics of three basketball players were naturally inseparable from basketball.

Chen Junhao asked: "Have you ever joined the basketball team when the Thomas who faced me on the court today?"

"Did you see anything?" asked Mike Carman.

"First-class physical fitness, first-class ball control, poor defense but very distinctive offense. One-on-one can only see so much, but there is no reason for Coach Smith to see his development potential. If he was also a Columbia student, why was he not a basketball player?"

After Jason Anthony and Mike Carman looked at each other, Jason nodded and signaled to Mike. Mike said: "You have a very accurate vision. Thomas was indeed a member of our basketball team before, but he quit after a month in college."

Chen Junhao said in surprise: "Why?"

Mike shrugged: "He felt that he had the strength of a first team of players, but Coach Smith divided him into the second team. He felt that he had been treated unfairly and left the basketball team in anger."

"He has this confidence, so he should have some basis."

Jason said: "When the basketball team was training, the basketball team captain at that time also lost to him in a one-on-one single challenge. He was indeed outstanding in terms of personal offensive ability."

"But once it reaches the formal practice game, it's not the case. He has no concept of basketball tactics at all, and he thinks he only knows how to attack with the ball. As for defense, he is even worse. You have also seen his defense in today's duel. One-on-one defense is still what he is best at. His defense in the five-man team game makes people wonder if he is with his opponent."

"Is that so?" Chen Jun sighed, "But it's still a pity. With his ability, if he receives regular training, the Columbia University basketball team will not need to be cramped by the guard problem in a year. Coach Smith doesn't need to go far to China in Asia to find players."

Jason smiled and said, "That's wrong. As long as a player like you is conveying his desire to study in the United States, schools with basketball teams across the United States will compete to invite you. Even if your team is well equipped, you won't want you to become an opponent. Even if Thomas stayed with the team that day, Coach Smith will also strive for your joining this year."

Mike said: "Putting aside your supplement to the team's strength, commercial benefits alone are enough to make any school's heart beat. The annual income of the NCAA University Sports League is calculated in billions of dollars, but these will not flow to student-athletes. The players of the school basketball team have no income except for a little scholarship subsidy, and commercial sponsorship is not allowed. If you participate in the University of Missouri basketball team, at least there will be a lot of Chinese American audiences. Compared with a little scholarship, the school will definitely make a fortune. If your Chinese TV station purchases the right to broadcast the TV, the entire NCAA will be a big winner."

Chen Junhao opened his mouth in shock and smiled bitterly for a long time: "I saw the apartment yesterday and felt a little ashamed when I received the credit card from Coach Smith. Now I look like I should be confident." The last sentence is in Chinese.

Jason smiled and patted his shoulder and said, "It's not necessary to be justified, but it should be true. If a star player in the college league abandons school and enters the NBA, his annual income will be at least one million yuan, and nothing is a scholarship. Why should the college basketball teams keep their players without these discounts? You, me, Mike, and many of the teams enjoy the same type of subsidy. In comparison, you, the number one genius in Asia are not particularly taken care of."

Chen Junhao smiled and said, "I feel much more at ease when I hear you say this. When will the team start training in the afternoon?"

"Except for game days and holidays, the basketball team trains for three hours a day, starting at 2:30 p.m. and ending at 5:30 p.m.."

"Didn't it mean that basketball players will not attend classes in the afternoon?"

Mc said: "It is generally said that, but the main subjects of Columbia University are generally concentrated in the morning, and the classes that are missing in the afternoon can be adjusted to morning or evening by themselves. However, few people will consciously make up for the lessons. Whether in China or the United States, unless they are particularly serious or expect to continue their studies after graduation, there are very few students who will really devote themselves to their studies. Especially for the school to have a very tolerant policy towards basketball team members, such as those who contribute to the school. In the United States, as long as most basketball players are not particularly bad, the professor will give him a B or C to pass. (Photogue, the college performance of the King Jordan back then was probably not very good.)

But for Chen Junhao, the situation is different. In his heart, he still retains the idea of ​​returning to China to inherit the family career in the future. At least he cannot let Chen Yunyun bear such a burden alone. Therefore, in addition to honing his basketball skills in the few years he stayed in Missouri, Chen Junhao also longed to get an MBA degree.

Nodding, Chen Junhao said: "I will report to the basketball team at 2:30 in the afternoon."

...

Two and a half years in the afternoon, Missouri Columbia University Basketball Training Hall.

"This is Chen Junhao, an international student from China, a new member of our basketball team - I told you yesterday." Smith introduced to everyone, and Chen Junhao was standing next to him.

More than 20 basketball players stood in two rows, and everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Junhao who was standing with Smith. His sportswear, slender figure, black bangs hanging on his forehead, and his handsome face was perfect. A pair of black eyes seemed to be emitting light. Except for his handsome appearance, the faint smile on the face of this oriental young man was noticeable. He was humble but not humble, confident but not arrogant, and his faint smile seemed to be full of gentleness. After looking at his Chinese teammate, most people's first feeling was: a person with such a smile should not be a difficult person to get along with! After all, "the best player in the World Youth Championship", "the first genius in Asia", and "the team aces strive to promote characters", these are still very important. Joining a heavyweight player is of course a good thing for the team, but it is unreal for other team members to have no psychological pressure.

"I am Chen Junhao, I'm very happy to be a teammate to fight side by side with everyone." Very standard British English.

Smith said: "Today is the first training session this semester. In addition to Chen, there are six new players. Everyone knows the summer training camp, but today I'm going to introduce myself."

"Jason Anthony, team captain." Jason Anthony took the lead and introduced himself, followed by Mike Carman, and then others stepped forward to introduce themselves one by one.

All members of the Missouri Columbia University basketball team plus 26 Chen Junhao, which are divided into the first team and the second team. The first team can represent Columbia University in the NCAA, while the second team players are the team's substitutes and the first team players' sparring team, and are not qualified to represent the university.

That's why Thomas quit the team so angry.

Of course, the first team players will concentrate the best players when playing on behalf of the team. Chen Junhao will undoubtedly enter the first team. Some people enter, some people will naturally withdraw and fall to the second team. Before Chen Junhao stood here today, the players at the defenders were already quietly competing. No one hoped to fall to the second team, but no one thought they could beat the best player in the World Youth Championship. No matter what, Chen Junhao's arrival intensified the team's competition, so it is reasonable that there were a few people who were not kind to him in their self-introduction.

Chen Junhao knew it well, but he could only smile bitterly. There is no right or wrong in this kind of thing, and it is impossible to avoid it. He stole other people's position and could not blame others for their resentment.

After some introduction, Chen Junhao officially joined the team. However, if you want to participate in the team's training, you must complete the physical test.

"Chen and I went for a physical examination, and Jason led everyone to train." Smith said.

The physical examination is very simple. The University of Missouri School Hospital has complete equipment and can handle everything within 20 minutes. The test is nothing more than 100-meter running, jumping, etc. However, when the final result came out, Smith, who received the report, felt that he was unbelievable.

Chen Junhao's muscle fat content only accounts for 3% (usually, muscle fat accounts for 5% is known as a sports genius), with a speed of 10 seconds of 3, a long jump of 7.6 meters, a steady jump jump of 123 cm, and a running and jump jump of more than 150 cm.

This is an amazing report.

"Incredible!" Smith murmured, "Is he really a yellow person?"

"Or should I say, is he really a human?" said the assistant coach who submitted the test report. "I have never seen such an excellent physical examination report. His body is a miracle of humanity."

Smith sighed: "Or Chinese people don't know that they missed an excellent sprinter or high jump champion. No track and field coach would let him go easily with such physical fitness. Fortunately, he chose basketball at the beginning."

After completing the physical examination, Chen Junhao didn't know that his physical examination report had caused the two coaches to express so much emotion. He had already returned to the basketball hall.

Jason Anthony asked, "The physical examination is over?"

"Um!"

"No problem, right?"

"Everything is OK."
