"I just said, I want to win with you, Aix, you are so awesome..." Marbury turned on the chatterbox mode again, and inadvertently offended a stingy 16-year-old high school student next to him.

"Although I'm not your opponent yet, you have to be careful. I'm 1 year younger than you, and I'll catch up with you soon!" This is Hamilton.

"I want to try the feeling of playing with you, too..." This is Jamison.

"That's bad. You dunk on my head while I wasn't paying attention..."

Zhang Hao was speechless when he heard others' words, but when he heard Odom's words, Zhang Hao was speechless.

That dunk, he even looked at Odom before rushing in and taking off. Who knew that the guy was distracted the next second. He was ready to miss the dunk.

Zhang Hao conquered not only his teammates in this game, but his opponents also recognized his strength. Moreover, this time he recognized Zhang Hao's strength in the game!

In their opinion, Zhang Hao's strength is at the level of a professional player!

It is true that Zhang Hao has many flaws and has nothing to do with all-roundness. However, with such height, athleticism, and such shooting, just combining these three, it is already the strongest in the game in the eyes of other players!

Of course, there are also people who don’t think so, and some people firmly believe that they are the strongest.

Adidas Training Camp allows this group of teenagers who can represent the pan-96 generation to gather together.

After the depression of losing, the 18 players from both teams gathered together, hugged, took a photo...

Perhaps, after today, many of them will never see each other again.

The older they are, the more they know how difficult it is to become a professional player. Except for a few people, most of them have no clear plans for what they will be and what they want to do in the future.

After a while, after the players' exchanges were over, the head of Adidas Pacific region came to the stadium and it was time to present the awards.

There is no bonus for the prize. Each team has a trophy, and everyone has a certificate from Adidas training camp. Although it has no effect, before Adidas expanded the Elite Championship, 18 people could get the certificate every year, which is still worthy of the collection of these high school students. If they didn't play well in the NCAA and were unable to enter the professional league in the end, this certificate is one of the most precious memories of their basketball career.

In addition to these two, there is one of the most important awards tonight!

Kobe, who scored 30 points, 11 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals and 1 block, had no chance to win this prize, Odom, who had 11 points, 13 rebounds and 3 assists, and Hamilton who had 18 points...

This is the individual trophy that only the best performer of the winning team has the chance to win - the most valuable player of this game!

I said a series of opening remarks... In fact, after the soft advertisement, the person in charge of Adidas was preparing to present the award: "...Thank you for bringing us such a wonderful game. I hope this training camp will help you in your basketball career.

OKOK, I know you can't wait. I announce that the most valuable player in this Adidas Training Camp Classic is... Aix Zhang from Inglewood High School in Los Angeles!"

Zhang Hao, who scored 31 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 steals, beat Garnett, who had 14 points, 14 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks, and became the MVP of this Adidas Training Camp Classic Tournament!

There is no big suspense. Garnett performed well, but anyone can tell who their team can win the game.

There is no so-called commercial reason for this game itself, it is to give the one who performed the best. And considering commercial reasons, the training camp held in San Francisco, California should be even more for Zhang Hao. At least half of the fans on the scene bought shoes, equipment and got free tickets because of Zhang Hao!

Garnett had no choice but to do this, he was willing, but in this case, he was powerless...

This time he was really convinced!

The 1995 Adidas Training Camp Elite Tournament, which was 1 hour and 12 minutes in the whole process, ended with Zhang Hao enjoying the cheers of fans on the scene...

...

...

"Congratulations, Aix, you won the MVP and you also won the event held by McDonald's. Which one do you think is better, Adidas or McDonald's high school event? "

"I have only participated in McDonald's slam dunk contest, and I don't know much about other games. I must be very good. I have experienced the Adidas training camp throughout the whole process. I am very professional. I have learned a lot. I think it will be of great help to my summer training."

"You have proved with practical actions that you are the strongest high school student, but I heard that no university is willing to provide you with basketball scholarships so far. Is this true?"

"I think it may be that Los Angeles is too remote. They have never heard of me. This time they should be able to get them to notice me."

"There is news that it is because of your skin color that those universities are reluctant to provide you with scholarships?"

"It would be awful if it was as you said, but they actually provided me with scholarships, but just study scholarships."

“Study Scholarship?”

"Yes, at the end of last season, I went to take the SAT in advance because I had nothing to do. I remember that I scored almost 1,400 points. At that time, my class teacher wanted to recommend me to graduate early and go to college."

“…”

“…”

...

After the game, Zhang Hao was taken to be interviewed alone. This time, Zhang Hao was much more relaxed, no matter how he was in the dunk contest, this time his answer was quite organized.

But when it is time to show his confidence, he still needs to show his confidence.

In terms of sensitive topics, he avoided them in time and changed the topic very well. After all, the goal is to enter the NCAA first-level alliance university, so he can't offend the school, right?

But it was just a high school student competition and had not encountered the extremely aggressive problem. Zhang Hao felt very lucky, but he was a little confused. Why did these media seem to deliberately want to run those universities? He almost dragged him into the water. He also asked him to have experience this time and thought of avoiding answers to those universities, otherwise he would have really offended those universities.

After finishing the interview and returning to the hotel, Zhang Hao looked at the Adidas 1995 Training Camp MVP Trophy thrown on the bed...a bit surreal!

The final result of participating in the training camp this time was also expected to be completely different at the beginning!

For a moment, Zhang Hao was a little confused...

It’s not that things are too bad, but that good things come too quickly.

This feeling is similar to not knowing how to deal with the current situation after getting rich overnight. Fortunately, it does not involve money, it is not really a fortune from heaven, and you will not lose your normal thinking.

Seeing that there were 405 days left to live, Zhang Hao quickly came to his senses. He knew that everything had just begun!

Bibi, who was sitting on another bed reading, was paying attention to this magical roommate and found Zhang Hao's confusion just now. He was very surprised, why Zhang Hao was confused when he looked at a trophy...

Being called a basketball genius since childhood, Bibi, who was smooth sailing during his student days, could not empathize with Zhang Hao, a roommate from China who had encountered so many ups and downs on the basketball road.

After resting for a while, it was past 6 o'clock, and the knock on the door sounded.

Zhang Hao went to open the door, it was Marbury.

"Aix, hey, Mike, go and have a party together, Sharif treats you!"

Marbury said and walked straight into the room.

"I don't want to..."

"No, you want to!"

Marbury directly pulled Bibi to deal with awkward people like Bibi. Marbury, who was slums, was very good at dealing with him.

Zhang Hao will definitely not refuse...

Follow Marbury to the hotel entrance, and the other 15 talented high school students came, and even the other awkward monster Kobe was not absent.

The training camp is over! Tomorrow they will go back to their homes. Rahim, who is the best family environment and the richest, treats guests, rents a few cars, and takes everyone to a high-end restaurant to get together.

The Rahim family environment is really good. The church family was born and counted several generations as a minister. Everyone in a town with more than 50,000 people followed his father from the church level. A town with more than 50,000 people is not small in the United States. Inglewood City is about this size, and their family also has a charitable foundation... His generation is his younger brother who is expected to take over as a minister.

His lack of competitive personality has caused him to be criticized for media evaluation, but his gentle personality has made him look good with everyone... The ability to make money is always useful.

Many of the 18 people here came from slums and had never entered high-end restaurants. Fortunately, the blacks said it was nice and "no matter" and they were having fun, but Rahim didn't mind.

Although I can't drink alcohol, the whole process is enjoyable.

Finally, there was a time when the song ended and people parted. Some people didn’t have much concept, but Marbury was a delicate person. After eating and drinking, he leaned on the chair and sighed: “We people may only have this opportunity to get together for dinner in our lives, right?”

Some people didn't take Marbury's words seriously, but many people also felt the same.

Although it was not long, we trained together, advanced together, and played the highest level of high school today. This friendship is rare and worth remembering.

"It's not just that, maybe many of us will not even have the chance to meet in the future." Bibi said this quietly.

When Zhang Hao heard this roommate's words, he knew that Bibi was right. Nowadays, the only way to communicate remotely is to call and letters, and the Internet is not convenient. However, he heard another meaning in Bibi's words - this is why I don't want to have a good relationship with other people.

Yes, that's it, because many people may only be in contact with this in their lifetime, and may not meet again in the next ten or eight years or even see each other again in their lifetime. So for Bibi, there is no need to communicate too much with others. People are emotional creatures, and they make good friends and then never see each other for many years. If they happen to have a good relationship with this friend, they will have negative emotions.

Zhang Hao thought for a while and said, "No, maybe we will have many opportunities to meet in the future."

There are 10 people here who are the future NBA stars Zhang Hao remembers. The situation is not the same as making friends in ordinary games, right!

Bibi looked at Zhang Hao, smiled rare, and said, "If it were you, we might have fought in colleges... Now those colleges will not be blind anymore, right?"

Bibi is really happy that Zhang Hao played well this time, but unfortunately he was a teammate in this elite game. However, with Zhang Hao's strength, Bibi believes that Zhang Hao will soon become a star in an NCAA team.

But Zhang Hao shook his head at this time: "Is NCAA? That's just a process... In college, we may not have the chance to meet. I think our goal should be the same as Kevin."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes focused on Zhang Hao.

Isn’t what Zhang Hao just said exactly their dream?

Like Garnett, that is to enter the NBA, the highest stage in basketball!

When others say this, they may feel too arrogant. There are so many geniuses entering the NCAA every year, and there are so many basketball players participating in the draft every year, but now, there are only more than 50 people who can be selected for the draft every year.

After reaching the peak of high school, they knew how strong those stronger were. Although they were all geniuses with strong confidence, compared with Garnett, Kobe, and Odom, three guys with over-exaggerated talents...

However, everyone thought it was normal for Zhang Hao to say this.

During the training camp, they felt Zhang Hao's admirable confidence.

Everyone began to look forward to the scene of being called during the talent show.

Garnett rarely criticized Zhang Hao, but smiled and said, "I'm waiting for you in the NBA."
Chapter completed!
