"Sink your shoulders and hold the ball with both hands. Tentative step, yes, tentative step. Okay, now, speed up, break through!"
According to instructions, also made a breakthrough suddenly after a beautiful probing false move. He has been training on the basketball court since he was a child at an amazing speed, almost instantly, he passed by his father.
Yi Guoli looked at his son who hit the basket and layup easily, and smiled with satisfaction. This kid might be able to eat basketball in the United States in the future.
In the future, he must make good contributions to this kid to go to college. Even if he can't become a professional basketball player, he is more than enough to be a trainer or something.
"How dad! How am I doing!?" Yiyang picked up the basketball that leaked from the net and ran to his father excitedly.
"It's not bad. Next time, the probing step should be more realistic. Okay, it's getting dark. Let's go for a few laps around the beach, and then go home for dinner!" Yi Guoli touched his son's head , His dream of a professional athlete came to an abrupt end due to injuries. But Yiyang seems to be able to continue all of this.
Yiyang ran away, yelling, "Dad, you can't catch me today!"
Gradually, my father got farther and farther away from Yiyang. Obviously it was evening, but suddenly a dazzling white light shot. Yiyang's father was completely swallowed by the white light.
"Dad!" Yiyang stood up suddenly, sweating profusely! He looked around him, the basketball court, the beach and the white light... there was nothing.
The scattered documents, the dark computer screen and the self lying on the sofa reminded Yiyang that he was in the office of the head coach of the Bulldogs of Butler University. Just now, I just had a dream...
Yiyang opened the quilt and drank cold water. For several years, for several years, I haven't dreamt of my father.
If it hadn't been for his father's training of his professional system, he wouldn't be able to stand here now.
Yiyang has been in Indianapolis for a week, and since the first day of physical examination, he has been constantly bringing surprises to Stevens.
Tomorrow morning, taking advantage of the weekend, Yiyang will return to Long Beach City to continue his high school studies. Stevens has already told Yiyang that as long as he has no problems with the college entrance examination, the full basketball scholarship will definitely be his!
Yiyang couldn't help shaking his head. Half a month ago, he completed the first robbery in his life. At that time, how far away the word university was to Yiyang. But then, his life seemed to have undergone an earth-shaking change.
After being invited by Butler University's basketball specialty students, everything is different. Yiyang now sees hope, the hope of taking his mother out of the shady place of Wood District. The full basketball scholarship of Butler University is Yiyang's first goal!
Yiyang lay back on the sofa, and gradually closed his eyes. Basketball... seems to have once again become the most important thing in his life.

Early the next morning, Yiyang boarded a plane back to Long Beach under the leadership of Hapi. This time, Harpy no longer travels with Yiyang. After all, Harpy still has many potential targets that he hasn't contacted this summer.
Before left, Yiyang kept asking. "If I meet the requirements for the college entrance examination, you will definitely recruit me!"
"Of course, your performance this week is amazing. Stevens may have started to develop tactics for you and Hayward!" Harpy knows what kind of environment this kid grew up in. Yes, his suspicion will definitely be much heavier than others. Lies and deception are as common in the Wood District as the grass on the street.
"Um...this is best...that Hayward, is he good? I hear you mention him every day."
"Is he good? Hahahaha, boy, you must never watch NCAA games! Don't worry, I promise he will be a good teammate!" Last season, he averaged 13 points and 6 rebounds, making him the best in the Big Ten. Lineup and became the best rookie in the Big Ten League. Hayward's first year at university was a buzzword, and it is the core of Butler University's current commitment. But Hapi knew that it was useless to talk to Yiyang now. Therefore, he just said casually in an understatement.
"Um...we really don't sign a contract or something?" Yiyang was still a little worried, he didn't want to work hard for a long time, but in the end he was given one. After all, from beginning to end, Harpy and Stevens gave themselves verbal promises.
"I want to sign a contract with you now, but you are not a professional player. The law stipulates that NCAA teams cannot have any contractual relationship with student players. If we are found out of private contracts now, the penalty will hurt us all. ."
Hapi's patient explanation made Yiyang feel a little relieved. Finally, under the urging of Hapi, Yiyang finally boarded the plane and embarked on the way home.
Watching the plane Yiyang was riding in the sky, until it disappeared, Hapi took back his gaze. I hope everything goes well for this kid.

Brad Stevens was already working in his office when Harpy sent Yiyang to the airport.
It's the offseason now, and the recruiting matters are all scouts running. It stands to reason that as the coach of a team, Stevens should now enjoy his vacation. What's more, Butler University has never been a famous basketball school, and he doesn't have to toss himself so much.
But the appearance of Yiyang made Stevens full of ambitions for Butler University next season.
Stevens's computer screen is the video of Anjie's trial training this week.
is playing at this time, is the scene of Yiyang holding the ball and continuously bypassing obstacles and then making a layup.
The ball is like life in Yiyang's hands. Wherever Yiyang makes this orange basketball go, it will go.
His innate sense of the ball makes Stevens envious. Of course, this kid may have been on the street basketball court for a long time, and there are irregularities in many places. These things will become what Stevens must grasp after the start of the new season training camp.
Yiyang, who was as fast as lightning, passed all the obstacles easily, and then made a layup easily. Speaking of scoring, Yiyang's shooting test is perhaps the most unsatisfactory of all items.
This guy has a strong impact and good ball control skills. But shooting is not stable enough. Yiyang's shooting hand is a bit too stiff, the farther away from the basket, the lower the hit rate.
Although the current Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo, who is now well-rounded, is also a first position without shooting ability, Stevens does not want his shots to restrict Yiyang's hands and feet. This guy has a lot of room for improvement!
Stevens has never looked forward to the start of a season so much. Last year, they owned Hayward, so the team successfully entered March Madness. This year, the more mature Hayward is coupled with the monster of Yiyang. Stevens' ambition seems to be greater than he thought.
"Come on boy, you will become a star. We, maybe we can do something together..." Seeing Yiyang running wildly on the screen, Stevens seemed to see Butler University's Rise.

The month after Yiyang returned home, it may have been the happiest month for his mother since the death of Yiyang's father.
Yiyang, who is always troublesome, is no longer involved in any trouble. Even if someone provoked, Yiyang just clenched his fists and walked away.
He goes to school early, and always goes home early in the afternoon, and never fools around outside. Even Yiyang's teachers were surprised by the changes in this child.
Yiyang is not a stupid child, but he always thought about how to make money and how to help his mother share the pressure, so he couldn't focus on learning at all.
And now, he is studying with all his heart, and his grades are also improving by leaps and bounds.
Of course, apart from studying, the only thing Yiyang does is to train himself on the street basketball court downstairs in the apartment. He doesn't want more than a month to go down, he will feel unfamiliar with basketball.
Reading, playing ball, reading, playing ball... This kind of life lasted for a whole month. Even Yiyang's mother's complexion has improved a lot recently.
Although life is still difficult, at least, this family really sees hope.
On the day when the college entrance examination was over, Yiyang's mother wanted to take her son out for a good meal. But Yiyang refused. He didn't want to increase the family's expenses on such matters.
Even if they didn't go to the restaurant, Yiyang and his mother Wenxue still had a warm night. UU reading www.uukanshu.com Wenxue knows that his son has really grown up this time.

"Didididi..."
The alarm clock sounded continuously, Yiyang immediately sat up and stopped the alarm clock.
He swallowed, even when he robbed Harpy that day, this guy had never been so nervous.
Yiyang turned on the computer nervously and entered his student ID number. When the college entrance examination results appeared, Yiyang's face showed a rare smile.
Although the results are not excellent, but for a basketball specialty student, Yiyang definitely meets the requirements of Butler University.
He hurriedly called Stevens, but the call was immediately connected. Presumably, Stevens had been waiting by the phone.
"The pre-season training camp starts two months later. Butler University's number one jersey, I leave it to you, too!" Stevens did not ask Yiyang's results because he knew that this was strong-willed and eager to do The boy who struggles with the family can definitely do it!
"Thank you...thank you, sir!" Yiyang hasn't said the word thank you for many years, because for so many years, no one is worthy of him saying that except for his mother.
But now, Yiyang said thank you from the heart. Although the tone was a bit cold, for Yiyang, it was already very difficult.
"Welcome to the Butler University Bulldogs team, also. Let us, go and win together!" Stevens looked at the rising sun, it was so dazzling, filling the earth with light.
And now, after searching hard for a summer. Butler University will also be launched.
Yiyang and Hayward, this combination will no longer be just a fantasy!
