Chapter 8 The beautiful coach is back
"Coach, here is the application form for new recruits who want to join the basketball team during the three days you were absent."
In the coaching room, Li Gangjian respectfully handed several forms to Wen Jing.
Wen Jing, who was sitting behind the desk, looked a little tired on her pretty face. It seemed that she had been really busy during the three days of leave, and she looked listless.
Covering her mouth and yawning, Wen Jing half-opened her beautiful eyes and took the application forms, placed them on the table, and looked through them casually.
The Deming High School Basketball Department has a rule that every new player who wants to join the basketball department must submit an application.
Moreover, all submitted applications must be handed over to the coach for personal review, and then they will decide who can participate in the entrance examination.
In fact, the requirement of the application letter is also a test of whether the newcomers who want to join the basketball team are serious. If they fail to take even an application letter seriously, then there is no need to participate in the entrance assessment.
Because if you are not serious, you will be dismissed even if you take the assessment. Instead of doing this, it is better not to waste time.
It is precisely because of such strict and careful selection that the Deming High School Basketball Department has such strong strength.
If you want to play in the Deming High School Basketball Club just because of interest, that is not enough!
After flipping through several applications in a row, Wen Jing's beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly. It seemed that none of these applications made her very satisfied.
However, when she turned to the last page, she suddenly froze.
The handwriting on this last application form seemed a bit sloppy and crooked, giving people a very careless feeling, like the handwriting written by a primary school student.
However, Wen Jing's eyes fell on the name column and could not move away for a long time.
"Huang Dong?" A cry of surprise escaped her lips.
"Coach, this person... I think it's okay, although his application is a bit..." Li Gangjian said hesitantly at this time.
Ever since Huang Dong defeated Hao Wenqi, Li Gangjian was actually very interested in this boy, but the rules must not be broken. If he wanted to join the Deming High School Basketball Club, he had to submit an application and wait for the coach to come back and review it in person.
But after Li Gangjian received Huang Dong's application form two days ago, he almost spit out blood because the words were too ugly.
With such careless handwriting, Li Gangjian was really afraid that the coach would just "pass" him, so he opened his mouth to intercede with Huang Dong.
But who would have thought that after reading the name, Wen Jing looked at the one-inch photo posted on the application form.
After seeing the appearance in the photo clearly, a look of shock appeared on her face that Li Gangjian had never seen on her face during his three years of high school.
With a snap, the tired look on Wen Jing's pretty face disappeared, and she stood up from her seat excitedly.
"It's really him! He's back from the United States!"
It was the first time to see such an excited expression on the coach's face, and Li Gangjian was really confused.
What's going on? Does the coach know that kid?
Before Li Gangjian could ask any more questions, Wen Jing said to him excitedly: "Where is he now? Let him come over right away!"
Half an hour later, the lazy Huang Dong appeared in the basketball hall again.
When Huang Dong appeared, all the players who were training stopped, and dozens of pairs of eyes looked at him.
Especially Takagi, the look in his eyes that stared at Huang Dong was full of jealousy.
"Everyone, keep training! Don't stop!"
Li Gangjian's thick voice rang out, and everyone quickly picked up the basketball in their hands and continued training.
Huang Dong was taken to the coach's office by Li Gangjian. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Wen Jing coming up to him with excitement on his face.
"Oh My God! It's really you! I thought I admitted my mistake that day, but I didn't expect it was really you who came back from the United States!"
Huang Dong was stunned when he saw Wen Jing being so enthusiastic, and then thought for a moment and said, "Oh, you are the woman I met the day I first came to school."
Bang!
Li Gangjian next to him hit Huang Dong on the head with a heavy punch, and then said in a deep voice: "What do you mean that woman! This is our coach!"
Huang Dong covered his head and glared at Li Gangjian, and said angrily: "Big bear! Don't think that I won't dare to hit you because you are tall and strong!"
Not to mention, Li Gangjian, who is tall and strong, really looks like a bear.
"What did you say?!" But the nickname of the big bear really pissed off Li Gangjian. He huffed and puffed more like an angry bear.
"Okay, okay, please stop making trouble." Looking at the two people who were about to start a fight, Wen Jing quickly persuaded them.
Then she looked at Huang Dong and said: "Huang Dong, I know you. A month ago, you won the U.S. Junior Streetball Singles Championship. At the same time, you also set a record for the youngest U.S. Junior Streetball Singles Champion. You can
Said, in the American streetball world, you are the first Asian player to win such an honor! It really brings glory to our China!"
Hearing the coach's words, Li Gangjian was stunned. He really didn't know that Huang Dong had such a powerful title.
But Huang Dong waved his hand disapprovingly and said: "That guy Ors is just too weak. If it weren't for the age limit for the youth group, which requires you to be sixteen to participate, I would never let him win three consecutive championships.
A chance to win the crown.”
Arrogant! Too arrogant!
There is actually an element of Huang Dong bragging in this, because he was really anxious in the game with Ors.
In the end, luck also played a big part in winning.
But in basketball, self-confidence is also very important, that's why Huang Dong said what he just said.
Wen Jing smiled indifferently, and then said: "Then why did you return to China? Although I don't want to admit it, to be honest, basketball is stronger in the United States, and its development and atmosphere are better than in China.
."
Indeed, in the United States, basketball courts can be seen on the streets of almost every city, and the level of professional leagues in the United States is the highest in the world.
Some even say that the American College Basketball League (N) alone is on par with or even exceeds the level of professional leagues in many countries!
What a terrible concept!
The expression on Huang Dong's face became extremely serious at this moment, and the corners of his mouth also curved upward.
"My goal is to stand at the top of world basketball as a Chinese!"
Huang Dong said this resolutely, without any hint of joking.
Except on the court, it's really hard to see him with such a serious expression. After all, he usually looks lazy.
This sentence made Wen Jing stunned for a moment.
Before Huang Dong didn't answer her, she thought of many possibilities, but she just didn't expect Huang Dong to say this.
Standing at the top of world basketball is easy to say, but it is not easy to achieve it!
Although domestic professional basketball has developed well in the past decade or so, its world rankings have always only hovered around the dozen to mid-twenties.
The highlight moment of the Chinese men's basketball team may have been the 2008 Olympics, when they reached the quarterfinals. At the same time, in 2009, FIBA announced that the Chinese team was ranked ninth in the world.
However, in recent years, the ranking has suffered a serious decline, and it has already reached outside the 20th place.
On the other hand, the United States has always been ranked among the top three in the world, and has set an astonishing record of 63 consecutive victories! (Forty-five international matches and 18 warm-up matches)
Such a gap is not small. Huang Dong's words, "As a Chinese, stand at the pinnacle of world basketball!" If it were spread out now, I'm afraid people would still laugh out loud.
Basketball is a team sports competition. No matter how strong a person is, it is impossible for just one person to stand at the top of world basketball!
After a long silence, Wen Jing bit her lip and said, "In that case, then you should follow the Deming High School basketball team and win the CHBL (National High School Basketball League) championship first!"
A confident smile appeared on Huang Dong’s lips again: “That’s what it meant! (That’s what it meant!)”
At this time, Wen Jing regained her usual dignity when facing players. Since Huang Dong was already a member of the Deming High School Basketball Club, she would treat him equally.
Wen Jing picked up a piece of paper from the table and handed it to Huang Dong, saying: "Go back and rewrite the application for joining the ministry. If you haven't practiced Chinese characters yet, then use English first. This time, I want you to write it well!
"
"By the way, there's more." Wen Jing just turned around, then immediately turned around and said: "Starting from tomorrow, in addition to the normal training after class, you have to stay alone in my office, and I will personally tutor you in your homework.
Chapter completed!
