Legendary Basketball Tycoon

"Ms. Li, I still decided to go to Duke first and then to Georgetown!"

After listening to Li Qiuping's persuasion, Yao Ming decided to do what he had considered before.

The stubborn Yao Ming is also very character, isn't it? !

He did not accept the best plan given by Li Qiuping, but chose the most difficult path to move forward, perhaps because of his unyielding heart.

Why can't Asian players start in elite schools? !

Yao Ming just wants to see if he can do a miracle for the entire Asia and even the entire China Expo!

Li Qiuping saw that Yao Ming was determined to go to a prestigious school, so he didn’t say anything. He told Yao Ming what he should say and persuade him. He is already an adult when he turns 18 and he should be responsible for himself. .

"Well, since you have chosen, I won’t say anything. You are not yet 18 years old. According to the school age in the United States, you are still in the high school stage. Bruce means to see if you are with him. Go to Seattle to study at Lakeside Middle School? Or is it at Garfield High School, where Wang Zhizhi has studied? Or is it at high school in New York?" Li Qiuping asked.

Because Yao Ming will only stay in high school for one year, Bruce didn’t prepare the information about famous high school basketball schools, and after graduating from high school, Yao Ming would take the initiative to go to the university to participate in the trial training, so even more There is no need to spend more money to collect information!

However, Li Qiuping specifically asked his acquaintances here in New York to see if there is any "suitable" for Yao Ming to attend high school.

"What kind of high school options does Mr. Li have?!" Yao Ming asked questioningly while looking through the information provided by Bruce.

Because Yao Ming looked through it for a long time and couldn't find the high school information. It was all from the university. How did you make him correct? !

You must know that Yao Ming is only 17 years old now, and will be 18 years old next month. He is destined to adapt to high school in the United States before going to college to play NCAA.

"Dayao, it depends on how you choose?!"

"If you want to adapt to the basketball atmosphere in the United States in advance, then I can recommend a few good high schools for you."

"And if you choose to settle down and learn English well, then Bruce will have a good introduction."

"Anyway, it depends on your own choice in one sentence?!" Li Qiuping replied calmly.

Yao Ming's choice must be his own decision. This was also explained by Brewster. Li Qiuping felt that it would be better not to overtake it, even if the big man is his fellow.

Originally, according to Li Qiuping's own intention, Yao Ming went directly to a prestigious high school. Anyway, he was studying English. Isn't it going to study there? !

right!

But Bruce didn’t think so much. Yao Ming will be the chairman of LX in the future, and his level of education must not be too low. NCAA always has to run around to participate in competitions. After Yao Ming enters college, he definitely has no time to study seriously. Therefore, it is necessary to learn more cultural knowledge in advance. After all, the culture of the old and the United States is still quite strong, and you may be able to apply what you have learned in the future!

"This, is there any difference?!" Yao Ming scratched his head and asked honestly.

After all, Yao Ming is only 17 years old. Coupled with the fact that he is unfamiliar with his life in a foreign country, it is also a good thing to have a fellow who can help himself analyze.

"Well, Bruce said it mainly depends on yourself. If you choose to adapt to the basketball atmosphere here, then we will choose a few high schools where basketball is not bad, so that you can adapt in advance. The basketball atmosphere here also lays a solid foundation for you to go to college and play NCAA in the future."

"On the other hand, if you want to learn English well, that's okay. After all, English is the best way to communicate in the future, whether in college or in the NBA. If your English level is still like yours now, then It definitely won't work."

To be honest, Yao Ming's current level of English will be good enough to have simple conversations with people, and if he meets those who speak extremely fast, then Yao Ming will be completely confused.

After deciding to let Yao Ming come to study in the United States to play NCAA, Yao Ming has spent a period of time practicing English, but it is still not enough. The main reason is that there is not enough time. In just a few months, he wants Yao Ming to pass CET-4 or above. This is obviously not. possible.

Everyone knows that basketball coaches usually speak very quickly when they pause tactics, because the timeout is only one minute. To lay out the tactics, they must also analyze and explain the whole team's players. The speed of speech is certain. It is fast, otherwise there is not enough time.

This is also the reason why Li Qiuping asked Yao Ming to choose one of the two. Whether it is Yao Ming's choice, it is actually for his own good. The former can make Yao Ming adapt to American basketball faster, while the latter can make Yao Ming able to live in the future. Easy.

Yao Ming thought for a while and then raised his head and asked, "Ms. Li, do you think I should choose the one?!"

Bruce also chatted with him about college on the plane, and Bruce didn't talk about high school matters either. This made Yao Ming a little bit blind for a while, and he didn't know what to do.

"I think you should choose the second way and find a high school with good academic performance. After all, if you do not pass the English level, then it will be very difficult for you to live in the United States. You will never let future teams I have an interpreter specially for you!" Li Qiuping replied firmly.

Because this is Yao Ming’s best choice, there is nothing more important than language communication, even if you have a different talent, and if you don’t speak the language, you don’t know the tactics of the team and you can only rely on brute force to play singles. Live it.

Yao Ming nodded after listening. He also knew his problem. At first, he had a few words with Hans General Manager Mitch Kupchak in the airport waiting room. He didn't quite understand some of the words. , Can only nod his head vigorously and say YES!

This shows how important language communication is!

But here comes the question, so I came to the United States to go to school? !

Didn't he let him play the NCAA game? !

How can I play basketball after I have read books? If you want to know, why don’t you go back to China and study there? Why come here so early to learn English? !

"Then Teacher Li, can I not adapt to the basketball atmosphere here in advance?! (I can't play basketball in advance Yao Ming didn't want to understand either!

"How is this possible? The purpose of letting you come in advance is to adapt you to the environment here. Whether it is basketball atmosphere or English level, these are things you have to learn in advance."
