Coach Alford finally got rid of the black woman.
"Everyone, I'm very sorry. The wife just now really hopes that her son can enter our basketball team. I encounter several similar things here every year. Please forgive me for wasting everyone's time." Alford seemed to I'm worried that everyone's English level is not up to par and they don't understand what they are saying, so they speak very slowly.
Under the leadership of Alford, everyone visited the UCLA basketball team.
UCLA's basketball team is worthy of its long-standing reputation. The training conditions are not inferior to those of domestic professional teams. Of course, the level of athletes is also higher than that of most domestic professional athletes.
After visiting the UCLA basketball team, everyone felt a sense of frustration, especially the head coach of the basketball team. He kept shaking his head along the way, but his eyes were always full of envy.
Compared with the basketball team, the place that everyone visited before was not the essence of UCLA sports. Basketball, baseball and American football are Americans’ favorite sports. They are also the athletes who invest the most and have the highest level at UCLA. It can be said that UCLA The best of sports.
The next day, the visiting group went to their second destination, the University of Southern California.
The University of Southern California is also a prestigious school with a long history. They are very famous in film arts, music, media, etc. Many of the world's top directors and musicians are from the University of Southern California. USC alumni rank first in the world in terms of the number of Academy Award winners.
At the same time, USC's sports program is also very strong and is a competitor with UCLA in many sports. Especially in the NCAA competition, USC met UCLA, which has always been hailed as the craziest rivalry.
The University of Southern California has won a total of 144 gold medals, 93 silver medals and 72 bronze medals in its history. It ranks first among American universities in terms of the number of gold medals and medals. In comparison, UCLA ranks first in this regard. The United States ranks third, slightly behind the University of Southern California.
…
University of Southern California Basketball Arena.
"Coach Babe, thank you very much." The deputy director who led the team expressed his gratitude to the basketball coach of the University of Southern California. The two sides shook hands again, and then the visiting group turned around and left.
At the same time, a black middle-aged woman hurried over.
"Coach Babe, hello, my name is Annie Hampton. I am Allen Hampton's mother. I want to talk to you. Do you have time?" the black woman asked.
"Allen Hampton? Is that Allen Hampton from Beizer High School?" Coach Babe asked.
"Yes, I feel very honored that you actually know my son!" the black woman said.
"Of course I know him. He is the number one genius in Virginia high school, and of course he is also a troublemaker!" Coach Babi paused and then said: "Is Allen Hampton interested in us at the University of Southern California? What?"
"Of course, everyone who wants to enter the NBA is interested in USC!" the black woman said with anticipation.
“But you live on the East Coast, and there are many excellent universities to choose from in the East, such as Duke University, Georgetown University, Wake Forest University, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Their strength is not inferior to ours. USC. And those schools are closer to you." Coach Babe said.
The middle-aged woman hesitated: "Well, actually, because..."
The middle-aged woman hesitated for a long time before finally speaking: "Because Allen has a criminal record. He was once arrested for carrying excessive amounts of drugs..."
"I'm afraid it's more than that, Mrs. Hampton. As far as I know, on February 14th this year, which was Valentine's Day, Allen Hampton participated in a group fight involving more than 50 people. More than 20 people were seriously injured, and the district court sentenced four people to 15 years in prison, and Allen Hampton was also sentenced to five years in prison. Am I right?" Coach Babe said.
"The court's decision is unfair. All the white people were released on bail, but all the black people were sentenced. They are discriminating against black people. We appealed and won the case. My son has been paroled!" the black woman said hurriedly.
"But my team doesn't need a criminal." Coach Babe said sternly.
"Aaron has changed his ways!" the black woman said immediately.
"But he's still on parole, isn't he?" Coach Babe shook his hand and then said: "I'm very sorry, Mrs. Hampton, but your son, Allen Hampton, does not meet the admissions requirements of our school!"
…
"Xiao Li, what are you looking at? Let's go quickly!" Xu Zhongyi shouted at Dai Li.
Dai Li withdrew his eyes from Coach Bebe and the black woman, and took two steps to catch up with the team.
"Xiao Li, what are you looking at? Are you reluctant to leave? Why don't I take a photo for you as a souvenir?" Xu Zhongyi continued to ask.
"I was looking at that black woman." Dai Li continued. "Yesterday at UCLA, it was this black woman who went to see Coach Alford. Today I met her again at Coach Bebe's place."
…
On the third day, everyone finally came to the famous AP training center to witness the world's top sports training with their own eyes.
"Everyone, this is KEISER air resistance equipment. It is a piece of equipment for training athletes' explosive power. Its biggest feature is that it can ensure that users can complete movements at any speed under a certain load and complete many tasks that cannot be done with traditional weighted strength equipment. movement and less likely to be injured.”
"This is a vibration trainer. This kind of training equipment is used a lot in basketball and self-training fields. As an emerging neuromuscular exercise method, vibration training can improve the coordination between neuromuscular systems... "
"This is a liquid nitrogen chamber used for ultra-low temperature cold therapy. After athletes enter, it will be reduced to minus 110 degrees Celsius to minus 180 degrees Celsius. Cold therapy can quickly relieve the pain of athletes' muscles and joints. I think you have heard in many news reports I have seen it before. This equipment has been popularized in the four major leagues in the United States... "
The commentator introduced it eloquently, like an advertising salesman, while the coaches below were talking quietly.
"It's so advanced. I've only heard of these things before, but today is the first time I've seen the real thing!"
"That ultra-low temperature cold therapy liquid nitrogen warehouse is great. I really want to buy one. It must be quite expensive."
"As far as I know, the price of this thing is barely acceptable. You can buy it cheaper for less than 100,000 US dollars. However, it is expensive to use. Just three minutes after entering, the cost of liquid nitrogen is 60 to 70 US dollars. Well, that’s not counting other consumption and equipment depreciation.”
"The cost of using it once is $100, which is equivalent to seven to eight hundred yuan! It's so expensive, we really can't afford it."
"Why are you worried about that? We are here to visit the pig farm as cabbage eaters, but we can't afford to eat pork after watching it!"
While everyone was talking in low voices, Dai Li looked at the sets of advanced equipment, his eyes shining.
"It would be great if I could have such a big training center and have so many advanced equipment!"
At this moment, Dai Li knew that he had another dream. He wanted to have his own training center!
