Henry Bibby angrily left the words "Trying at 9 o'clock on Saturday morning" and left.
Li Ao asked Dean Teng: "He only said 9 o'clock on Saturday morning, and didn't say where the trial training would be. If I couldn't find a place, he wouldn't use this as an excuse to report me for fighting, would he?"
Dean Teng really felt that Li Ao was easily targeted by gangsters in the school, and a large part of the reason was that this kid was too talkative.
If this kid hadn't really been able to hit, he would have been beaten a hundred times.
He even wants to hit someone!
Vivian responded excitedly: "I know the trial location! I'll take you there on Saturday!"
"That's right, Aunt Vivian, you are a fan of the basketball team," Li Ao complained: "Aunt, you said it was wrong to say what team you like, but you actually like the Trojans."
Vivian said dissatisfied: "What's wrong with the Trojans? This is our school's team... at least it's better than the Clippers!"
"That's true..."
Li Ao agreed with Vivian's statement. Although the Trojans basketball team was mediocre in the entire Trojan Legion, which was considered great, generally speaking of the powerful basketball team at the University of Southern California, the women's basketball team was referred to as the Trojans Women's Warriors.
But it's still okay to step on the Clippers.
If nothing else, let’s just say that the two teams have used the same arena for the past ten years. Tickets for the Trojans, a college basketball team, are more expensive than those for the Clippers, a professional basketball team.
In the entire Los Angeles basketball world, the Purple and Gold Army must be the pride of pride. In the minds of many people, the Bruins are not much different from the Lakers, followed by the Trojans.
After that, the most popular was not the Clippers, but Inglewood High School and Southern California High School, and finally the Clippers.
"Okay, Vivian, go and solve Leo's trouble. Leo, go back to class!"
Seeing that these two guys were about to start chatting again, Dean Teng chased them away.
The two stepped away decisively, Vivian went to work overtime, and Li Ao put on his schoolbag and came to the classroom.
The students who were already in the classroom had long been used to seeing Li Ao come to class like a good boy with his schoolbag on his back like a normal person.
Although the threat of force saved him from many troubles encountered by international students, it affected his popularity among his classmates.
But he still had a good relationship with him. As soon as he entered the classroom, a white young man who behaved like a street kid came up to him and said, "Leo, is everything okay again this time?"
Li Ao responded angrily: "It's okay."
"I knew you would be fine! Your backstage is the dean!"
"When the hospital assistant came to catch me, you ran faster than a dog? Those who didn't know better thought it was a dog-catching team."
"God, if I am regarded as an accomplice who fights with you and is sued to the old man, he will not beat me to death... And my brother is prepared. If the dean cannot save you, even if the old man beats me, I will say yes. I will fight with you and let him save you too.”
"You still have some conscience..."
This young white man was Li Ao’s best friend in the class and the first classmate he met when he came to USC, Liam Peake, who was two years older than him.
He entered the school relying on letters of recommendation from the dean and professors from other schools. Liam Peake was simple. He scored first in the entrance exam and was the son of the school director.
The two met at first just because of the politeness of their elders. Later, because they had similar interests and both liked to play games, they met at the arcade several times and had a fight with a nonchalant person, and they became best friends.
The good relationship between the two has been maintained for a long time because it does not involve money. At most, I will treat you to a meal and you will lend me a newly released game cartridge to play.
However, this is also one of the reasons why Li Aofeng has a bad reputation. Although he always fights for a reason, and rarely takes the initiative, every time he fights, it is okay. A blind person can see that there is a backstage, and he even has sex with the school director. The dandy son of the Ke family plays together, and animals of the same kind gather people into groups. His classmates have to go around him even if they don't tell him to look down on him.
And like other Chinese international students, he has a characteristic that is generally disliked by his classmates - he has good academic performance and occupies the scholarship quota.
But two or three friends are enough, and he doesn't care what other classmates think.
Some things won't matter once you graduate and enter the society. Even if the relationship within the school is not good, as long as there are no real grudges, you might be able to take advantage of the relationship between classmates.
As the saying goes, college classmates may be the best group of people you can meet in your life; college professors may be the best social people you can come into contact with in your life.
After he felt relieved, Liam began to ask how the fight was handled.
In fact, Liam felt that this fight was a bit unreasonable. In his understanding, although Li Ao often fought, he basically never took the initiative. It was mostly 'legitimate defense', so the dean's handling of it did not count. trouble.
But he didn't ask why, he just remembered one thing - you can't ask Chinese people, 'Are you Japanese?'
Li Ao originally wanted to study the system he just got, but Liam was too annoyed. There was still a while before class, so he talked about the process of receiving the dean's 'education'.
The way the dean dealt with it was not biased, and he had no intention of dealing with Li Ao at all, but this seemed normal to Liam. In a capitalist country, the powerful have privileges. This is not the benefit of being a rich person. Yam's understanding is the normal state of the entire society. In the college, the dean is the most powerful and the school director is the most powerful.
Instead, Liam's eyes lit up when he heard the head coach of the basketball team came to his door: "Leo, are you going to join the school team?"
Li Ao shook his head: "I'm just participating in the trial training."
Liam patted Li Ao on the back and said, "I have confidence in you! You are the best basketball player in our department!"
Li Ao's balls hurt when he mentioned this, and he said with a twitching corner of his mouth: "There are only seven people in our team, and two of them are fat guys who dribble and shoot with their palms. I, the number one basketball player in the whole team, have really high gold content! I'm such a brain. I was squeezed by the door, so I was deceived by you and Vivian into representing the department team in the college competition, but I was abused by the art department. And you, a point guard, are you okay with dribbling and kicking?"
Li Ao didn't want to think about the two games that time. It was another lifelong shame that he couldn't bear to look back on.
Just as Liam was about to refute, the professor came and he could only take out his book and listen to the class angrily.
Regardless of Liam's normal appearance, he is a real rich second generation who has received elite education since childhood. His studies from childhood to adulthood have been as arduous as possible, which also makes him particularly indulgent outside of studies.
Li Ao knew very well that the most basic purpose of coming to the United States was to learn knowledge and get a diploma, and he studied hard.
Both of them have very good academic performance, which is one of the reasons why they can play together.
After the professor's lecture was almost finished, he started telling stories about chicken soup and how difficult it was in the early days of his business. If Li Ao hadn't heard Liam complain about the real version, he would have really believed it.
Liam had already taken out his mobile phone to send text messages. Li Ao estimated that this guy had changed his female partner again. Only when he met a new female partner would he contact her so actively. There was a high probability that the other person’s mobile phone was sent by this guy. Yes, easy to contact.
Li Ao pretended to listen to the story enthusiastically and gave instructions in his heart. A faint screen that did not affect his vision but could be seen clearly appeared in front of him.
"Name: Li Ao, English name: Leo.
Age: 18 years old (August 1, 1981).
Height: 197 cm, wingspan: 211 cm.
Weight: 89 kg…
Activation task: Participate in the school team trial and be selected. "
To pursue your basketball dream?
This was the first thing he thought of after the previous system appeared, and it will be very popular for some time in the future.
He closed his eyes and could still see.
He repeatedly chanted 'turn on the system' and 'turn off the system' in his mind. After playing with it for a while, he was still a little unsure.
So he pinched Liam next to him...
"ah……"
Everyone's eyes were focused on Liam, and the professor seemed to squeeze out a voice from between his teeth: "Young boy from the Peak family, did I say something wrong somewhere?"
Liam ignored Li Ao and responded quickly: "No! Of course not! I was so moved that I couldn't help but make a sound."
Others only think that the person on the podium is a teacher. How could he not know that this is a business giant who comes to give lectures just as a hobby and just likes to see the clear and stupid eyes of college students.
Seeing that this second-generation rich man gave in and had good test scores, the professor didn't dig into it and continued to tell his story.
Liam breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked Li Ao angrily in a low voice: "Why are you pinching me?"
"I'm a little sleepy and afraid of falling asleep." Li Ao switched to innocent eyes as he spoke.
"Then pinch yourself!"
"I fear pain."
Liam almost broke the table with his hands. If he couldn't defeat this killer, he would definitely have a fight!
Last year, when the Thousand Sword Killer was shorter than him, his combat prowess was already off the charts. He had a deep memory of that one-on-seven battle that made him famous.
A year later, this guy had lost his head and gained more than 20 pounds. He could no longer confirm how high this guy's combat effectiveness was.
He took out his cell phone angrily and texted someone else. He was a service worker at the nightclub he often went to. He was proficient in all kinds of sex work. He wanted to do some sex work tonight! Angry!
Li Ao's attention returned to the system.
Now he is sure that the system is really here!
4 years! Been waiting for 4 years!
Yes, he is a time traveler.
His original name was Li Ao. He was a wage earner in the 1920s. After graduating from college, he enjoyed the 996 welfare report for several years. He had just bought a small house with a mortgage and became a glorious loan-owner. He started working as a banker. Work part-time, contribute to GDP for politicians, and hope that the blessings will not be cut off despite the bad environment...
As a result, the off-plan property I bought was unfinished!
When he went to protest with other home buyers, he accidentally fell off the roof of the sales office, and his good fortune was gone...
When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to the 1990s and became a 14-year-old kid named Li Ao.
After he traveled through time, he went to the bathroom and looked at the handsome young man in the mirror. His appearance was comparable to his appearance in his previous life... and he quickly accepted the time travel.
It is worth mentioning that when he woke up, he was in the hospital, and the reason for admission was alcohol poisoning.
The memory left behind by his predecessor told him that he was hurt by love. Because of the intervention of his parents and teachers, he was forced to break up with his girlfriend and use alcohol to drown his sorrows... The key point came - after he was sent to the hospital, he died. It's pediatrics.
A dark history that I don’t want to mention again in my life!
When he first traveled through time, he was eagerly looking forward to the system appearing, and thought of many ways to activate the system, such as learning Ultraman's transformation spell, trying all the rings at home to see if there was an old man, running in a thunderstorm, and even Even Balala Little Demon Fairy's spells were used...all failed without exception.
After several attempts, he gave up and accepted reality.
In the mid-1990s, there were many inconveniences in China, and he was not used to them at first.
But as time went by, he fell in love with the slow pace of life... mainly because his family was relatively rich in this life.
In the early 1980s, after the opening of the market economy, his parents decisively abandoned their iron rice bowls and went into business overseas. They had good ability and luck, and the small factory they opened did well, so he had the opportunity to enjoy a slow-paced life.
Later, he helped the granddaughter of the professor next door repair her computer several times. In order to repay him, the retired professor recommended him to study abroad at the University of Southern California.
Until now.
I originally thought about studying hard, studying hard at the age I should study, finding a job or doing business in the future, seizing some opportunities in my memory, making some money, and living a comfortable life... Unexpectedly, the system suddenly appeared!
But playing basketball, he thought about the bleakest era of Chinese and American basketball more than 20 years later, and his future was worrying... But then he thought about it, wasn't that more than 20 years later! Even if he really becomes a professional basketball player, he won't be able to play that time.
Li Ao, who was originally interested in and desperate for this system, became excited.
It is true that basketball will enter the darkest era in twenty years, but now is the era when basketball is booming. Things that will happen more than twenty years later will just give people more than twenty years later a headache.
You can try it now!
He originally liked playing basketball. Almost every week, at most every other Sunday, he and Liam would go to the park to play basketball. He also participated in the intramural competition last semester. Although the result of that competition was that he Don't want to look back.
Now that I have a chance to do it again, of course I have to try a different lifestyle, and playing basketball might be a good try.
If you can compete with O'Neal, Duncan, Nowitzki, Kobe, Iverson... and others... it's a bit too far.
After he calmed down, he felt that this road seemed difficult!
He was pretty good at basketball only within the department. With his height of nearly two meters and decent jumping ability, he could dunk on top of the computer department where most of the fat guys were.
But he represented the department team in an intramural competition last semester and lost both games against the Art Department in the first round. They couldn't even beat a group of painters and were eliminated directly.
He personally also played very poorly when facing defenders who were a head shorter than him. Either the ball was intercepted or blocked and he could only lift the ball to avoid making mistakes...
Let’s talk about it after joining the school team first!
If the school team doesn't make it, the system can't be turned on, so all this thinking is in vain.
