Chapter 35 Someone else wants to trick me into giving birth to a daughter
Wang Zhizhi was greatly encouraged by the support of Liu Yudong, who is also a member of the Nanjing Military Industry Corps men's basketball team.
However, thinking of his recent experience, Wang Zhizhi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I think it will be difficult for me to successfully leave. The Basketball Association does not want me to leave, and the leaders have not agreed yet. I am a soldier and must obey orders... And I am worried that even if I go to the United States, the Basketball Association will go to the NCAA and say that I am a player in the A-League. I have asked, if I successfully register in the A-League, I will not be able to play in the NCAA."
Hu Weidong and Liu Yudong knew that what Wang Zhizhi said was really possible... No, as long as they didn't have the support of the Nanjing Military Region, that group of people would definitely do such a thing, and they were very good at using moral kidnapping, using the word "official" to cover up the truth... The most important thing was the current international situation. The Blue Association was absolutely right to use this to make a fuss.
If the gangsters are right, no one can defeat them even if they come.
Compared to Liu Yudong's maturity and stability, Hu Weidong, also 25 years old, has a more outgoing personality. He asked, "Big Liu, do you think it's okay to go directly to the NBA tryout? Didn't Zhang Hao enter the NBA at the age of 18?"
Liu Yudong shook his head and said, "You've seen the video of the Adidas training camp, right? Zhang Hao is only 18 years old, and his level is no worse than you and me. Bibby, Billups and others who are comparable to him are playing in the NCAA. Zhang Hao is a special case. He is at the level of Bibby and Billups purely by his athletic ability and shooting, so he can enter the NBA directly. I think it should be roughly like Zhang Hao said, to train in the NCAA for a few years, and maybe he can enter the NBA after graduating from school! In China, it is probably difficult, and once he really plays in the A-League, I am afraid it will be difficult to leave. Haven't you seen the player contract?"
Hu Weidong felt a little discouraged when he thought of the contract which was like a bonded laborer's contract, but there was nothing he could do. If he wanted to play, he had to sign it. After all, the salary would be good after the establishment of the league.
He was not complaining. He was willing to contribute to the country, but after playing for the national team for many years, he really didn't save any money, so he had to consider the future.
Wang Zhizhi really wanted to go to the NCAA, and his compatriots who knew of his existence in a foreign country all suggested that he go...
However, he was only 18 years old. He ran to the leaders to discuss this matter with excitement, but was blocked by various excuses. Now he doesn't know what to do.
Seeing that Wang Zhizhi was silent and looked depressed, Liu Yudong said, "Don't worry, I will go with you to talk to the leaders! I believe they will make the best choice..."
…
As for Zhang Hao, he didn't know that his casual mention of Wang Zhizhi brought such a big change to the starting point of Wang Zhizhi's career, giving Wang Zhizhi a clear direction to work towards instead of wasting a few years in China and then deciding to go to the United States as in the original time and space.
With each day of training, Zhang Hao is constantly improving.
There seems to be little improvement in shooting, but as strength continues to increase, the mid-range shooting level has not been affected, and there is even some improvement in long-range shooting, which is actually a huge improvement.
After breaking through the 80 strength rating barrier, his strength rating increased rapidly. In just half a month, it reached 84!
In the summer of the lockout, the NBA seemed to have disappeared from the world. The Internet was not well developed in those days, and there was not even any news via text messages. Apart from talking about the failure of labor-management negotiations after the lockout, there was not much coverage of the NBA on TV, newspapers, and radio.
He is occasionally interviewed by the Imperial TV station, and his training was recorded once, but that's about it. The NBA has no way to use the players' images for hype. During the offseason, apart from the players themselves, there is no other news. In fact, a lot of news about the players is made up by the league. Even some negative news, as long as the impact is not very bad or has no impact on the league, the league will even take the initiative to hype the players' negative news.
On July 20th, Zhang Hao temporarily interrupted his training as he had something to do today.
April Clark passed the art exam of the University of Southern California yesterday. Combined with her recent SAT score, she received an interview invitation from the University of Southern California. Today, Zhang Hao will also go to the University of Southern California for an interview. He is also planning to apply to this university.
On the way to USC in a taxi, April Clark asked, "Why did you go to USC, Axe? You could go to New York University, right? It's so close to New Jersey, and it's one of the top ten universities in the United States."
“USC’s biokinesiology and physical therapy program is great and I like it.”
“……” April Clark found the name of this major difficult to pronounce and didn’t know how to respond.
Is there anyone who would study this major?
In April Clark's opinion, it would be better to learn how to repair cars. She likes to tinker with cars. Unfortunately, ever since she broke her father's only beloved sports car in her first year of high school, she was kicked out by her family and had to rent a house. Otherwise, her father would have another car that he drove to and from work, and she would definitely continue to work hard and break another one.
"Are you worried that I'll be rejected because of my average grades, so you applied to this university with me?"
When it comes to her talent for acting in drama, April Clark feels that she is pretty good. However, she started learning it late after all. She only started learning it in her senior year of high school when her grades were not good enough. Moreover, she barely passed the art exam thanks to intensive training in recent times. Her SAT scores can only be considered okay. The USC City College, which is an art college ranked first in the United States, has high test score requirements. She only barely passed and there is a real possibility that she will be rejected after the interview.
Thinking of this, April Clark's eyes flickered...
Instead of talking about why she chose to go to USC, April Clark took the initiative to change the subject and talked about recent events. She was good at finding topics and Zhang Hao was happy to listen.
When they arrived at the University Park campus, the main campus of the University of Southern California, it was still early before their appointment time, so the two of them walked around the main campus together. If all went well, this would be the main campus of the university they were going to attend in the future.
The two were chatting and strolling, when suddenly, Zhang Hao's knee was hit hard. Just as he lowered his head, he heard a cry of "wow".
A little girl rushed forward and "slammed" his knee with her head, then knocked herself down!
April Clark was the first to react. She quickly squatted down and helped the little girl who had fallen to the ground. "Honey, are you okay? Are you hurt? Be good... don't cry..."
Girls aged eighteen or nineteen are most likely to have an overflow of maternal love. While coaxing the little girl, she glared at Zhang Hao with a reproachful look.
Zhang Hao felt so wronged, he was the one being "attacked"!
But this little Loli is so cute!
Just when the little girl was crying and April Clarke's coaxing was useless, Zhang Hao squatted down, stretched out his hand, and poked the crying little girl's face.
The little girl who has been able to cry all over the world without anyone stopping her since she was a child is a little confused. Why doesn't the boy on the telephone pole coax her like other people?
April Clark was having a headache about how to deal with this little Lolita. It was because they were chatting that they didn't notice the little Lolita rushing in front of them, which caused her to bump into and fall. When she saw Zhang Hao's actions, she was about to get angry, thinking that she didn't know how to coax a child and was causing trouble, but she saw that the little Lolita stopped crying!
“Is this a new way to coax children?”
"How about letting Axe help me take care of my sister during the next summer vacation?" April Clark was confused ...
At least the little girl stopped crying, and April Clark could finally try to communicate with her. She took out a tissue and wiped her tears while asking, "Little sister, why are you here alone? Where are your parents?"
The little girl didn't answer, but looked at the two of them. She felt that the other party didn't seem to be a bad person, and it seemed that her butt didn't hurt anymore... But she didn't accept it! Usually everyone would comfort her when they saw her crying, and this little sister was like that, but this little brother who was whiter than the little sister and darker than her skin color was as tall as a telephone pole, when he saw her crying, he actually squatted down and poked her face!
It seemed like he really enjoyed seeing her cry. I simply couldn't stand it!
No, we can't just give up like this!
The little girl grabbed the clothes of Zhang Hao who was squatting down, looked at Zhang Hao with her big watery eyes sparkling with tears, and began to sob again.
Zhang Hao was a little disappointed at first. Why did the little girl suddenly stop crying? She was so cute when she was crying. Seeing the little girl sobbing again for no apparent reason, he couldn't help but poke her with his fingers... At the same time, he said to April Clark next to him: "Whose child is this? It feels like someone tricked me into having a daughter again!"
"Aix loves his daughter so much?"
This was the only thought that popped into April Clarke's mind. She looked at the confused little girl with tears on her face, and then at Zhang Hao, whose eyes were shining. She didn't know what to say. This was the first time she had seen Zhang Hao in this style...
…
…
A little girl who looked about four or five years old, with a pair of big eyes with light green pupils, light brown hair, and was as pretty as a porcelain doll... an obviously Jewish girl, was sitting in a small pavilion at the Grand Park campus of the University of Southern California, eating an ice cream cone and staring at the strange man and woman warily.
She stopped crying when she was tired, but she didn't speak either. She looked around from time to time, as if she was looking for someone.
Although she was wary of the young man on the telephone pole who liked to see her cry, and was also wary of the pretty young lady who showed her kindness, she did not make a fuss about leaving, and did not even say that she wanted to leave on her own, because compared to the others, these two people seemed more harmless.
She was very happy when she slipped out and ran around just now, but she became depressed after she accidentally bumped into someone and fell down. The main reason was that she met a little brother who didn't comfort her when she cried, which made her very frustrated.
Also, after the excitement of sneaking out to play wore off, she began to regret it. What if she was abducted? There weren't many people in the school right now, just some students taking postgraduate entrance exams and students who stayed in Los Angeles to work and live in the school in the summer. It was empty everywhere. After the excitement wore off, she realized that it was really dangerous to run out alone.
I think that Lelene Isabel Schultz is pretty and cute, and she might be kidnapped by some bad guy who wants to raise her as his wife...
Thinking of this, the little girl began to feel annoyed again, muttering: "I shouldn't have sneaked out earlier..."
Zhang Hao also broke away from the logic that cuteness equals justice, but he and April Clark were both having a headache now. They had to go for a job interview soon, and they couldn't just leave this little girl, whose name they didn't even know, alone, right?
At this time, Zhang Hao heard the little girl mumbling and said, "So you sneaked out. Did you come to school with your parents? Where are your parents? Let's ask someone for directions and send you there."
The precocious and easily distracted little Lolita covered her mouth with her hands and exclaimed: "How do you know what I'm thinking!"
“…”
Zhang Hao and April Clark were both confused. How could her family dare to take such a confused little girl with such a desperate temperament out?
"April, how about we call the police?"
"Just call security, right?"
"No, those security guards are too ugly. What if they scare such a cute little girl?"
Just hand it over to the security guards and leave? That would be too irresponsible. The security guards at the school gate look fierce and ferocious. What if they scare the little girl to tears?
“…”
April Clarke was speechless about Zhang Hao's obsession with appearance, but fortunately, she was very confident about her appearance.
"But we have to go to an interview and don't have time..." Compared to Zhang Hao, April Clark was much calmer.
"How about we take her with us to the interview? We can find a way to find her family after the interview."
"Would she? She looks wary."
"She looks a little stupid. Maybe if we buy her a lollipop, she'll follow us..." Before Zhang Hao could finish his words, the little girl opposite him got angry: "You're the stupid one!"
The time for maternal love to overflow had passed, and April Clarke perfunctorily said, "Okay, okay, you're not stupid, you just don't look very smart. We have things to do, do you want to come with us or stay here?"
April Clark was not heartless, she was just a strange little girl. She thought that she could just take care of the girl and then hand her over to the school security. It was a normal idea.
Because I have other important things to do, it is inevitable that my tone may be perfunctory.
The little girl was so angry! She thought that the little sister was already intoxicated by her cute face, but she didn't expect that the little sister was the one who was only interested for a short time. Instead, the hateful little brother on the telephone pole was worried that she would be scared and wanted to take her with him.
After thinking about it, I decided that this little brother and sister must be good people. I should follow them first and help them find my dad after they are done with their work...
"Take me with you." The little Loli stood up and said.
"Who did you learn this way of speaking from? You have to be polite, okay?" Zhang Hao rubbed the little girl's head.
The little girl slapped the hand that was rubbing her head in disgust. The situation was stronger than she was, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Please take me with you."
Although the word "please" was included, it was said in a commanding tone.
Zhang Hao was helpless. It looked like this little Loli was born in the 90s. People born in the 90s were indeed not easy to mess with. Although most of his memories were of people born in the 90s... But those born in the 90s in China who graduated from school realized how miserable their generation was.
Zhang Hao didn’t know about the post-90s generation in other countries, but his own country’s post-90s generation was miserable. They missed the fastest growth dividend period of the country, and even the demographic dividend period. They were still the only generation of only children. After getting married, the young couple had to support seven or eight elderly people, and they couldn’t afford to raise their own children…
At this time, April Clark noticed the unusualness of this little girl. In addition to her good looks, her clothes were also extraordinary. Her T-shirts were all from Givenchy, which cost at least hundreds or thousands of US dollars.
The main campus of USC is quite large. In fact, there was still half an hour left before the agreed time, but April Clark was busy rushing to the interview location because the road was a bit far. In the end, the little girl asked Zhang Hao to carry her in her arms in a commanding tone because she was tired...
Arriving at the interview location, Zhang Hao went in to meet with the person in charge of the Academic Affairs Office. There was no trouble at all, and he went through the early admission procedures smoothly. He received a full scholarship with no tuition fees, which was higher than the scholarship he would have received if he had actually gone to college to play in the NCAA...
Now the situation is completely different as to which university he wants to go to. As long as his SAT score meets the requirements, no school will reject him, especially American universities, because as long as he is admitted, it means that the school has an extra NBA player student. If he achieves something in the future, he will be a sports star from this university.
After Zhang Hao's interview, it was April Clark's turn.
After cheering herself up , April Clark handed the little Loli to Zhang Hao and entered the enrollment classroom.
Seeing that there was no one around, Zhang Hao couldn't help but poke the little girl's face with his finger and asked, "Little sister, I've known you for so long, but I still don't know your name?"
