Chapter 8: Meeting with the head coach

ten minutes later.
　　Smith found Li Shengli, who was resting on the sidelines, stated that he was the chief assistant of the school team, and told him that his head coach Eddie was waiting for him in the office.
　　Looking at Smith who was excited to be crazy, Li Shengli thought that he had run into a lunatic. Fortunately, John knew Smith, which avoided a misunderstanding.
　　……
　　 Bishop's Office.
"Li Shengli, hello! I'm the team's head coach Eddie Payne." Head coach Eddie tried to make his tone as plain as possible. "I just watched your game and performed very well, so I represent the team, You are welcome to join."
　　 is different from the self-confidence and domineering on the court, and Li Shengli under the court has become the kind big man.
When he learned that he was called to the coach's office, he was very excited and felt that the coaching staff must have taken a fancy to him, preparing to let him serve as a sparring, but what he didn't expect was... The head coach Eddie said to join team.
　　Join the team?
　　What kind of joke?
　　Although he played very cool in the previous game, he was physically exhausted and felt that he could not make up for two or three meals. If he had been playing, he would not be able to withstand such tense food expenses.
　　 "Wait, Coach Eddie, I didn't say I want to join the school team."
what?
　　 This guy refused to join the school team?
　　Eddie was a little ignorant.
what happened?
　　 does not match the plot set in the script.
　　 Hearing the team’s invitation, this kid shouldn’t be excited and can’t help himself, and then wept bitterly, and then showed that he would definitely work hard in the future?
　　Does this kid rely on his physical condition to be abnormal and want to make some excessive demands?
　　 That's right, it must be so!
　　 Eddie quickly determined what he had in mind, and also expressed understanding.
　　Because the more talented players, the more appetite, and those players who dare not mention anything, are often salted fish on the bench.
　　 His only thought now is to hope that Li Shengli's appetite is not too big. Although he is the team's head coach, but NCAA and NBA are different, he really can not give the conditions.
　　 "Dear Li, it doesn't matter. Say, what are your requirements?"
　　Li Shengli touched his head and said with a smile: "It's a bit embarrassing to say, I participated in the trial training for... money, I hope I can become the team's sparring, $10 per hour sparring!"
　　Is there a request for it so soon?
　　 Hearing Li Shengli's words, Eddie's face showed such a look, but a moment later he noticed something was wrong.
and many more!
　　 He said... Sparring?
　　 This guy actually wants to be a team sparring?
　　Eddie felt that he was going crazy. He was ready to open the mouth of Li Shengli, but he never expected that Li Shengli’s request would be so low...
　　 "Li, I think you misunderstood? You know, the team has never recruited sparring." Eddie explained.
"Never hired a sparring partner? But John... wait, ohshit, this guy dared to lie to me." Li Shengli suddenly realized that he was fooled by John. It is estimated that this guy just wanted to pull himself to accompany him for training. .
　　 "Yes, we have never recruited sparring, nor do we need to recruit sparring from outside!"
　　 "Well, it seems that I misunderstood. Coach Eddie, if there is nothing else, I will go back first." Li Shengli was annoyed and turned to leave to find John to settle the bill, while Eddie sweated anxiously.
At present, the situation of the East Carolina University Pirates is very bad. The team’s recruiting is in a mess. It is impossible to find a suitable high school student. On the other hand, there are a few players who are starting the team and are about to graduate. .
　　He desperately needs a strong player to save the field, and Li Shengli is obviously more suitable. If Li Shengli is let go, then...The regular season that will start in November, the Dongka Pirates still can't take off the cap of the fish belly team.
　　 "Wait again!"
"Lee, as long as I don't talk about money, I can try to satisfy you with other requirements. You should know that the NCAA has a clear stipulation... All players are not paid, and any act of privately promising players compensation is also illegal. Yes, if found, the punishment is very severe. I don’t want to make a joke about the careers of the two of us.
Coach Eddie can only give Li Shengli Science a NCAA rule in desperation.
　　However, Li Shengli didn't care about the NCAA's regulations at all. He said that a good $10 per hour sparring sparred, which made him frown, and he was very unhappy. "Coach Eddie, you don't need to explain, I think I should go back."
　　 "Li, this opportunity is very rare, do you really no longer think about it?"
　　 "No need to think about it, I have decided."
　　After finishing the talk, Li Shengli was about to leave, and Eddie racked his brain and tried his best to save Li Shengli.
　　 "Li, do you know how many people in the school want to join our team? As long as you join us, I believe you will be envied by your friends. This is a glorious thing!"
　　 glorious?
　　 It's funny, glorious and can't be eaten as a meal, he hasn't had enough to eat, he wants to be glorious and fart. Li Shengli did not return his head and took a few steps forward.
　　 "Li, you should have no girlfriend? As long as you join the school team, I believe there will be many beautiful girls willing to socialize with you."
　　 girlfriend?
　　Li Shengli pouted, still not looking back.
　　 As the saying goes, you can think only when you are full and warm. You haven't solved your own food and clothing. What do you want your girlfriend to do?
"Lee, wait a second." Eddie collapsed and could only make the final retention. "If you are willing to join the school team, as long as your grades are qualified and the training meets my requirements, then I can apply for you. Full scholarship for next semester."
　　 噔！
　　 Hearing the full scholarship, Li Shengli shivered.
　　Full scholarships in American universities are not so easy to obtain. The difficulty is ridiculous. For students like Li Shengli, they dare not dream, and now coach Eddie promises to apply for the full award for himself.
　　The $10 per hour sparring job is gone, but there is an opportunity to get a full scholarship? Is this an illusion?
　　Know that the full prize can not only avoid some messy expenses such as tuition, accommodation, books, etc., but also have nearly 20,000 US dollars of non-tax income.
　　Twenty thousand dollars? !
　　According to the exchange rate in 1991, 20,000 US dollars is equivalent to more than 100,000 yuan, and in the case of domestic per capita annual income of less than 3,000, many people will not make so much money in most of their lives.
　　Thinking of this, he only felt that his brain was congested and dizzy.
"The team has a total of 8 full prize places. There are just a few players who will win the full prize, so as long as you join the team, I can..." Eddie didn't finish his words, Li Shengli turned around Body, solemn and serious.
　　 "Coach Eddie, do you think I will join the team for a scholarship?"
　　 "You...shouldn't it." Eddie grinned reluctantly, feeling that Li Shengli was in disguise and rejected him again, but Li Shengli's answer surprised him.
　　 "Wrong, I will!"
　　 "Hurry, tell me where the application form is, and promise to give me the full scholarship you apply for, you can't regret it!"
　　 "When do teams usually train?"
　　 "When do we start?"
　　 "Oh, by the way, when training... do you care about rice?"
　　 "Coach Eddie, UU reading www.uukanshu.com I can't wait to play for the team."
what's going on?
　　Eddie was stunned again.
　　 He never imagined that this guy turned his face faster than he turned the book, and kept rejecting his forefoot. After hearing the full scholarship, he immediately became a different person.
　　 "Lee, you listen to me first! According to the NCAA regulations, it is illegal for the team to initiate training before the start of the regular season, so you have to wait until the regular season starts before you can officially join the team." Eddie explained.
　　 "So when will you wait, will you not regret it then?"
"The NCAA regular season usually starts in November, and there are still half a month. You can rest assured that I will not regret it. As long as you can meet my requirements, I will definitely apply for the full prize for you. Believe me, I am the ball Team leader, I have this right!"
　　 "Well, I agree with everything you say now, tell me, what am I going to do now?"
　　 "Uh..." Eddie wiped a cold sweat, "Li, you don't need to do anything now, we will notify you in advance when the team starts the formal training."
　　 "Then we can say it well, you can't regret it!"
　　 "I said, I will not regret it. If there is nothing else, I think...you should be able to go."
　　Edi completely collapsed, and I never imagined that Li Shengli, who is a once-in-a-lifetime stadium, would be such a shabby and rogue guy outside the stadium.
　　……
　　 Finally, Li Shengli and Coach Eddie reconfirmed the verbal agreement between them.
　　 In the lure of the full scholarship, he agreed to join the Dongka Pirates team. Unlike him, John, who flickered him for training, was brushed down by the team, which made John depressed for half a month.
