There is a direct bus to the community where Woody lives.
When he got home, he found that his second uncle had not gone to work yet.
Woody's second uncle Wu Erzhuang is a typical "American dream obsessed". He is determined that in this place where gold is everywhere, he can become a billionaire even if he picks up garbage.
Even now that he has been washing dishes in a restaurant for seven or eight years, he still thinks so.
90% or even 95% of the reasons why Woody came to the United States to attend high school were because his second uncle kept nagging him in front of his parents.
However, this can be regarded as a microcosm of the times. In this era, Woody believes that his second uncle is not the only one who has similar ideas. Apart from this, his second uncle is still a good person. At least Woody came to the United States to attend high school for three years and he took good care of Woody.
Maybe it’s also because Wu Erzhuang is almost 45, has not yet started a family, and has no children of his own.
"Quick, wash your hands and get ready to eat!"
Woody did as he was told, washed his hands and came out, sat down at the table, looked at his second uncle who looked very similar to his father, and told him about today's trial training and his next thoughts. .
When he heard that Woody said that he had successfully entered the school team and wanted to try basketball in the future, he immediately patted his chest and said: "Hey, my eldest nephew, you have finally thought about it clearly. I will tell you With this height and body, it would be a pity not to play basketball... Don’t worry, your parents, I’ll convince you!”
He is a firm supporter of Woody's basketball path.
Woody has been persuading Woody to take this path for a long time.
As a member of society, he is very aware of social affairs. In the United States, if you play basketball well and get into that BA, you can become a multi-millionaire!
between……
It’s America where gold is everywhere!
It's just that in the past, his eldest nephew was somewhat ignorant, and no matter what he said, he would not waver.
But he was very anxious.
Well now, I finally figured it out...
He was very happy, and his reaction was what Woody expected.
This is also the reason why he informed Wu Erzhuang of this decision.
He needs his second uncle to help him convince his father and mother.
Woody's family is not wealthy. His parents worked hard to send him to the United States, not because they want him to pursue a basketball career, but because they want him to return to China with a diploma from any American university to "bring glory to his ancestors."
In this era, "returnees" are very popular.
In the final analysis, I just hope that he will succeed.
This was the reason why Woody didn't pursue basketball even though he had some talent. He didn't want to disappoint his parents.
Now, as long as he is willing to work hard, he will basically not fail in basketball.
His current talent is too high!
After lunch, Wu Erzhuang went to work happily. He is currently working as a temporary worker in a coffee shop, and sometimes does other part-time jobs. Probably because I feel that I have hope for the future, my legs and feet are floating when I go out.
After Woody finished washing the dishes, he went back to his room and opened the laptop he bought from his part-time job and some living expenses. Although it only cost $500, Woody had saved up for half a year.
Wu's father and Wu's mother are both ordinary employees. Their combined salary is less than 5,000 yuan. They can give Woody 3,000 RMB a month, which is already the limit. It is only through Wu Erzhuang's help from time to time that it is enough for Woody. food, clothing, and school expenses.
Woody would be a bit ignorant if he didn't work part-time to save money to buy things like laptops.
Opening Yahoo, Woody entered the name "Dennis Rodman". As the web page refreshed, a lot of information about him appeared on the web page.
Woody first clicked on his scouting report: he is 1.98 meters tall barefoot, weighs 95kg, has a wingspan of 2.17 meters, a standing reach of 2.69 meters, an in-situ bounce of 87cm, a run-up bounce of 102cm, and a maximum run-up touch. Height 3.7 meters, maximum bench press 215kg...
With such physical talent, it’s no wonder that Woody’s physical attributes have changed so much. His physical test results during the previous trial, which made Coach Drew extremely happy, were simply "pale in comparison" in front of Rodman!
Woody took another look at Dennis Rodman's honorary statistics: 5-time championship, 7-time rebounding champion, 7-time "All-Defensive Team", 2-time "Defensive Player of the Season Award"...
This can be regarded as the "President's Mountain" in the field of defensive players, right?
Only now did Woody truly realize what kind of "treasure template" he had gotten!
Next, Woody discovered another piece of news that made his eyes light up. Dennis Rodman, a "President Hill-level" defensive player, only officially started learning basketball when he was 19 years old.
This age is much later than Woody, but he still relied on his outstanding talent to enter the NBA and gradually became an NBA legend.
This is undoubtedly an incentive for Woody, who played late.
If you have talent, don’t be afraid of being late!
Woody tried searching for Rodman's training methods again, and found...
This girl doesn't train at all!
He retired because he missed too many trainings for no reason and the team couldn't bear it anymore, so he was fired. In the games before retiring, he still averaged 14 rebounds per game!
"It's so perverted!"
When he said this, Woody had a bit of joy on his face.
Because he is very likely to become such a pervert.
wrong!
Rodman's character is so lazy, he is completely squandering his talent. With the same talent, Woody felt he could have a greater career in that league.
But now there is a question before Woody, how should he start training.
The best way is to go to some training camps.
This is the fastest way to improve your basic basketball skills.
But it costs money to participate in the training camp...
Even some basic training camps cost hundreds of dollars, and he simply couldn't afford that much money.
Shutting down the laptop, Woody's eyes fell on the laptop he had just bought a year ago.
How about selling this?
Woody remembered that he also had a Walkman and a bicycle that was worth some money.
If you sell these to a second-hand store, you can probably scrape together a few hundred dollars, right?
If that's not enough...
Then you can only ask your family for some orders.
The thought of asking his parents for money made Woody blush fiercely even though he had just finished his senior year of high school. He threw himself weakly on the bed and turned on the system.
Now this is the only thing that can give him the confidence to ask his family for money.
"Um?"
Looking through his property panel over and over again, Woody quickly discovered a question.
What does level 1 mean?
Is it possible to upgrade?
Woody was puzzled, but no one could answer his questions, and no system notification sounded in his mind.
After flipping through the system page several times and finding nothing new, Woody stopped thinking about it and turned off the system. He got up, picked up his laptop and walkman, and headed towards the second-hand store.
The second-hand store culture is very popular in the United States.
Woody quickly found a well-established second-hand store and successfully sold his laptop and walkman for US$300. This is the result of Woody bargaining with the boss for a long time.
I'll clean the bike tomorrow and update it a bit, and I should be able to sell it for 80 US dollars. By then, plus living expenses, I'll definitely have enough money to attend an ordinary training camp!
No, what should I do with the expenses during the training camp?
I still need a little more...
Woody calculated the expenses.
At around 8 o'clock in the evening, Wu Erzhuang, who came back from get off work, took a leaflet in front of Woody with great energy: "Xiao Di, look, what is this!"
Woody glanced at it curiously, it read "AND1 Summer High School Training Camp is now open for registration"!
AND1 is a basketball shoe brand that has just emerged in the United States in the past two years. It originated from the streets. There is also a special AND1 street league. After signing several NBA stars, it has become a phenomenon-level basketball shoe, and its popularity is close to that of Nike. , Adidas, is the hottest basketball shoe brand right now.
On the poster, there are also photos of the stars they endorse.
Wu Erzhuang pointed at one of the black men with an afro and said: "This guy's name is Ben Wallace. He is the winner of this year's NBA Defensive Player Award, this year's rebounding leader, and the best third team. Xiaodi, don't you mean Does our coach hope that you can practice more protection of the basket this summer? Go practice with him for a while, that’s right... I have already signed up for you!"
Woody:! ! !
