International Sports Culture and Performing Arts Center, Shuiyun Basketball Hall.
The venue, which can accommodate about 20,000 people, was packed with seats and was buzzing with people.
On the central field, a performance before the start of the game was taking place.
The cheerleaders, dressed in cool clothes and with hot bodies, are showing off their enthusiasm.
Every corner of the stadium was filled with discussions about this game.
At the top of the stadium stands, scouts, data analysts and others from various domestic professional league clubs sat.
Next to Zhai Haihua of the Nanguang Golden Tigers, a slightly immature face appeared today.
"Yi Li, your Zhenzhong team reached the finals this year. As the captain of last year's school team, how did you feel?"
The game hasn't started yet, Zhai Haihua asked with a smile.
Sitting next to him was Yi Li, the captain of last year's Zhenzhong school team.
The future star who was also killing everyone in the league was eventually discovered by Zhai Haihua and signed to a powerful club in the professional league - the Nanguang Golden Tigers.
Yi Li, who has a cropped haircut, has thick eyebrows and big eyes with sharp edges and corners.
Since being signed by the Nanguang Golden Tigers and promoted to the first team.
The greenness of a high school student gradually faded away from him, and he gained the stability of a professional player.
Hearing Zhai Haihua's words, Yi Li recalled his campus life in Zhenzhong in the past two years and said with a smile:
"Mr. Zhai, of course I am happy that our Zhenzhong can reach the finals."
"Had I not met Tsinghua High School in the semi-finals last year, I might have led the team to the finals."
Having said this, Yi Li suddenly shook his head helplessly.
"wrong."
"Being inferior to others in terms of skills means being inferior to others in terms of skills."
"Last year, even if we passed the semifinals, we still had to face Tsinghua High School in the finals."
"The final outcome will not change."
"The High School Affiliated to Tsinghua University, which has been able to dominate the high school league for more than ten years, is really a big mountain that weighs on all high school teams!"
Even someone as strong as Yi Li couldn't help but sigh.
Last year, he served as the main center and captain of the Zhenzhong school team.
You can get whatever you want under the basket, and it's hard to find an opponent.
During the league, he ranked second in the five-star high school rankings for several consecutive months.
But in the semi-finals, Zhenzhong met Tsinghua High School ahead of schedule.
Except Yi Li.
The rest of Zhenzhong's matchups were completely defeated by Tsinghua Affiliated High School.
In the end, it can only be defeated sadly.
Zhai Haihua smiled slightly when he heard Yi Li's emotion.
"The school team of Tsinghua High School is indeed the dominant player in the country."
"Whether it's junior high school or high school."
"Whether it's men's basketball or women's basketball."
"Almost monopolizes all domestic championships."
"Do you know why they are so strong?"
Yi Li shook his head. As a player, he was certainly not as familiar with the stories behind these teams as professionals like Zhai Haihua.
Zhai Haihua smiled and said:
“All the male basketball players in Tsinghua High School come from John Ma’s sports specialty class.”
"Ma John's sports specialty class?" Yi Li frowned.
This name sounds weird.
Zhai Haihua knew that Yi Li was full of doubts and continued to smile:
"Yes, it's John Ma's sports specialty class."
"This class was established in 1986."
"Open to the whole country and recruit top sports students."
"The famous brand effect of Tsinghua University is undoubtedly strong."
"Ma John's sports specialty class has thus recruited top talents in various sports from across the country."
"Liu Qingwen, who steadily dominated you last year, is actually our genius in Nanguang!"
Speaking of Liu Qingwen, even though Zhai Haihua was mature and prudent, he couldn't help but sigh helplessly.
Hearing Zhai Haihua's sigh, Yi Li's pupils suddenly shrank.
Liu Qingwen.
Last year's five-star high school students ranked first.
The main center of Tsinghua High School.
The top basketball talent who steadily suppressed Yi Litou.
He is actually from Nanguang?
Yi Li was horrified in his heart.
"High school admissions, even for students with sports specialties, are generally recruited within their own city."
Zhai Haihua said again:
"Those who are slightly stronger may enroll students in their own provinces."
"There are only a handful of people in the entire Dragon Kingdom who can recruit students nationwide in junior high schools and high schools."
"That kid Liu Qingwen, we have been paying attention to him since he was in junior high school."
"Even our Nanguang Golden Tigers team had contact with his parents early on."
"But Tsinghua's reputation is really too big."
"His parents finally chose the High School Affiliated to Tsinghua University instead of staying in Nanguang."
Yi Li originally didn't know these secrets.
At this time, I heard Zhai Haihua talking about it.
Only then did Yi Li understand how great the advantages of Tsinghua High School were!
Ordinary high school teams, that is, local basketball geniuses gather together.
But the school team of Tsinghua High School is the genius among the geniuses selected through the efforts of the whole country.
How do you compare with school teams from other places?
No wonder it has been able to dominate the high school league for so many years!
Just when Yi Li was sighing with emotion, Zhai Haihua said again:
"Actually, the High School Affiliated to Tsinghua University is more than just enrolling students nationwide."
"Whether they are in the junior high school or high school, they all have international classes."
"The Qiao Wen who faced you last year is actually a mixed-race Chinese and African."
"His physical fitness and his offensive ability with the ball, you saw it last year."
Yi Li frowned slightly.
Qiao Wen, of course he was impressed.
The small forward of Tsinghua High School last year.
Explosive physical fitness and extremely strong scoring ability.
There is no player in the Zhenzhong team who can compete with him physically.
Last year, Yi Li only thought Qiao Wen was quite dark.
But I didn’t expect that he turned out to be of mixed Chinese and African descent?
Is this okay?
Enrollment is available not only domestically but across the country.
There is actually an international department that recruits those of mixed race, or even the second, third, and fourth generations who have changed their nationality a few generations ago?
Wouldn’t that mean recruiting students all over the world?
How can other schools in the country match such advantages?
Yi Li fell silent.
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and turned around and asked:
"Mr. Zhai, why didn't I see Qiao Wen this year?"
Both Liu Qingwen and Qiao Wen were in the same class as Yi Li.
After graduation, Liu Qingwen not only successfully entered Tsinghua University, but also became a member of the Imperial King Kong team.
They will definitely meet in the professional league in the future.
But now Yi Li, after being nurtured and trained by a professional club, no longer fears Liu Qingwen at all.
Regarding the possible collision in the future, Yi Li only felt excited.
But what makes Yi Li strange is that he has not heard about which professional club Qiao Wen has joined.
Zhai Haihua sneered.
"Qiao Wen is proud and arrogant."
"I thought I had no rivals in the domestic league, so I went to Beautiful Country after graduating from high school."
“I didn’t accept the olive branch offered by Tsinghua University.”
Yi Liyi raised his eyebrows.
He actually went directly to Beautiful Country?
This was something he didn't expect.
Just when Yi Li and Zhai Haihua were chatting.
Where the scouts were, two more people arrived.
Wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and a casual suit, Yu Bowen led a tall white man into everyone's sight.
When I saw this tall white man.
The scouts from various professional clubs who were sitting and chatting changed their expressions one after another.
