Chapter 6: Meeting Compatriots in a Foreign Land (Part 1)
Chen Junhao came to Missouri Columbia University for a long time. He went to classes in the morning, training in the gymnasium every afternoon, and went back to the dormitory in the evening to review his homework or surf the Internet and talked to Chen Yunyun, who was far away from the other side of the earth. Unlike other students who have just come to the United States, he does not have the freshness of ordinary people who first come to the United States. This is not the first time he has visited the United States. Missouri Columbia City does not have anything particularly worthy of Chen Junhao's attention than other American cities.
Chen Junhao firmly remembers the reason why he came to the United States: he came to study abroad, not just basketball but also study. Apart from participating in basketball training, learning occupied almost all his free time. In the team, he got along well with his teammates, but he never went out with his teammates in his spare time. In the past half month, there were many beauties who were flirting at this handsome and handsome young man but never received any response.
As for Coach Smith, Chen Junhao is really a very good player. Needless to mention basketball skills, his ability to understand skills and tactics is extremely high, and he quickly integrated into the team to become an indispensable figure in Columbia University basketball team. And what is commendable is that Chen Junhao is upright in his style and has no bad habits. Like most Chinese students studying in the United States, he is a good player and good student who truly devotes all his energy to his studies.
As for players such as Mike Carman, Jason Anthony, Chen Junhao is really a very good teammate. He is humble and polite. In addition to showing his sharp edge on the day he joined the team, he performed very modestly in both the team training and the players getting along with each other. In addition to these most importantly, Chen Junhao's appearance made up for the shortcomings of the team's staffing and performed unparalleled in the position of point guard. He can cooperate with the players the most skillful, he can pass the most comfortable ball at the most suitable time, and he can use the pass to guide the team's attack. Mike Carman just grabbed the position under the basket and found that Chen Junhao's pass had already come.
Yes. Jason Anthony was even more happy. Many times he and Chen Junhao only needed a look on the court, so they could understand each other and cooperate with each other. Their cooperation could be more skillful than Mike Carman who had played with three years. Two players who grew up in different countries and backgrounds only knew each other for less than half a month, but their cooperation seemed to have been training together for more than ten years. This was completely impossible to explain with reason. Even Smith had to praise: tacit understanding was born. Jason Anthony was sure that he had finally found the best partner in basketball life and truly experienced the pleasure of playing basketball between players of the same level.
One thing that must be emphasized: it is to cooperate with the ball, not to compete with each other. Chen Junhao carefully followed Geng Tianfang's teachings to him that day: be reasonable and concise, not humble or arrogant, and not compete for the position of ace players. Chen Junhao, a master of point guard, cooperated with Jason Anthony as a supporter. In this way, his light is naturally much dimmed compared to Jason Anthony's performance, and even slightly worse than Mike Carman, but no one in the team dares to underestimate him. On the contrary, everyone has this perception in their hearts: in addition to Jason Anthony, the ace, there is also Chen Junhao who is not inferior to him. Occasionally, when Jason Anthony and McCarman fall into a low point, Chen Junhao always stands up, and his performance is always as stable as a decisive needle and very stable.
Silent, silent, but also shines dazzlingly. This is the result of Chen Junhao's basketball team at the Missouri Columbia University in half a month.
Of course, Chen Junhao cannot satisfy everyone. There are still some people who hate him, but these are not enough to shake his position in the team.
In this half month, Chen Junhao is the first to go to the basketball hall and the last to leave. He is always the most diligent during training. When he sees him sweating profusely but still doing these dribbling and shooting basic training, everyone understands why he can be so outstanding. This also makes it difficult for those who hate him to continue to jealousy - you can be jealous of other people's talents, you can be jealous of other people's birth and family background, but you can't be jealous of others' harder than you, right?
Let’s talk about Zhou Xianya. After the two broke up that day, Chen Junhao always had a gentle and kind smile in his mind for several consecutive days, and the heroic posture of running and jumping on the court. It turned out that Chen Junhao’s figure had been deeply imprinted into her heart. When the two broke up, Zhou Xianya left her phone number, but every time the phone rings, she quickly grabbed the phone and heard it was not Chen Junhao’s call.
Did he forget it completely?
Zhou Xianya was angry and disappointed, angry that she was still as anxious as a little girl. The disappointed person was naturally because Chen Junhao didn’t come over. Unlike Chen Junhao, who was new to him, she already had her own study and life circle at Columbia University. The Taiwanese Student Union, composed of international students from Taiwan at Columbia University, held frequent gatherings. Within half a month of school, it was the most lively time for the class reunion to welcome the new and send off the old. Zhou Xianya’s loss and abnormality quickly fell into the eyes of those who are interested.
"What's going on, Xianya?" A girl from the Eastern Kong Kong hugged Zhou Xianya's shoulder and said with a smile, "Are you in love? You look like a little girl waiting for your boyfriend's call."
Zhou Xianya's face heated up and she said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense. I'm not like you who walk there are flower protectors around you."
The Xiumei woman smiled and said, "But it looks like you are in love. How about it? Tell me, I will help you with the staff, is it a prince charming or a muscular man?"
Zhou Xianya spat lowly and said, "Stop making trouble, your brother Haonan is here and why don't you go quickly."
At that time, it was the reunion welcoming the new party. Zhou Xianya and Xiumei were the person in charge of the party. Xiumei looked at the door after hearing this. A handsome young man was walking towards this side, with long hair draped over his shoulders and a bit of the style of Brother Haonan in "Young and Dangerous". In fact, the name of Yingtai young man is also "Cheng Haonan"!
Although the Xiumei woman raised her hand and greeted Cheng Haonan, Zhou Xianya was not unfamiliar with him. She smiled and looked towards the door, but her eyes seemed to be trapped in this look, and she could not turn back for a long time.
Chen Junhao!
A handsome and handsome young man walked out from behind "Brother Haonan". It was Chen Junhao!
After the Xiumei woman ran over to have an American kiss with "Brother Haonan", she held her lover's arms intimately, stared at Chen Junhao with beautiful eyes, and asked Cheng Haonan with a smile: "Who is this handsome guy? Is this new member this year? I remember there is no such handsome brother among the members this year?"
Cheng Haonan smiled and said, "My junior in the same department has just arrived in the United States this year. I invite him to have fun together at the party today."
"On the mainland?"
"Um."
"Welcome." Xiumei's woman handed over to her hand, "My name is Guo Caini, a senior student in the Department of Journalism at Columbia University."
Chen Junhao smiled and said, "Hello, senior sister, my name is Chen Junhao!"
"There are not many international students in Missouri. If you have any questions in the future, you can find us. Are you all descendants of Yan and Huang?"
"Then thank you for your senior sister first." Chen Junhao pulled his hand back and looked up, but he was seeing Zhou Xianya looking here in a daze. Zhou Xianya was the first compatriot he met in this foreign land, and now he felt very friendly when he met again. Chen Junhao happily raised his hand and shouted, "Sister Zhou!"
Zhou Xianya was just staring at Chen Junhao in a daze, and now she suddenly felt inexplicably panic when she heard this. She covered her mouth and coughed twice to calm down, and walked over and said in surprise: "I thought I was wrong, it turned out to be you."
Chen Junhao smiled and said, "Long time no see."
