Chapter 1: Li Shengli

In a villa in the suburbs of Greenville, North Carolina, USA, a construction team is in full swing to decorate the villa.
　　 "Hey, Li Shengli, if you concentrate, you can hang the ceiling. Yes, that piece should go to the left." Old foreman Zhao tilted his head and directed Li Shengli's work.
　　 Speaking, Lao Zhao, as the foreman of the construction team, is usually a very strict person. However, in front of Li Shengli, he has to be cautious even when speaking, just because Li Shengli's size is really scary.
　　The height of a normal adult male is generally about one meter seven or five to one meter eight. However, Zhao Zhao made a visual inspection. Although Li Shengli was not very young, this guy's height was definitely more than two meters, and even higher.
　　The height of this terror makes Li Shengli look like a humanoid beast. The middle-aged big men of the construction team are like a group of children playing with mud in front of him.

　　 This year is 1991.
　　Because of the surplus labor, there is a wave of labor services abroad, whether it is legal labor or illegal smuggling, anyway, a large amount of labor has been transferred abroad.
The same is true of the construction team where Li Shengli is located. All of them are Chinese. Most of them are black workers without legal status, so they can only choose to work at night to avoid some troubles. Starting at 6 pm and closing at 10 pm, An hourly salary of $3 plus a lunch box.
　　 However, Li Shengli and his coworkers are different.
　　Don’t look at him, he is only 19 years old, but his head is very bright, his academic performance is excellent, and he just caught up with the country’s opportunity to cultivate talents, so he became a serious student.
Although there are state subsidies and tuition fees don’t bother him, he still needs to pay for it in other aspects. He is a child from an ordinary rural family. He usually clinks poorly and doesn’t even want to buy one piece of clothing. Even food and clothing is a big problem. After all, the size is so big that the amount of food is two or three times that of ordinary people.
　　 There is no way, he can only rely on part-time work to maintain his livelihood.
　　 Due to height problems, the restaurant waiter, back kitchen, and dishwashing workers were totally out of touch with him. In the end, they could only apply for this construction team. With the advantage of height, they became a mobile scaffolding, which was responsible for hanging the ceiling.

　　 "Lao Wang, how much money do you have to spend to buy such a large villa? This decoration is not enough, right?"
　　 "You have nothing to think about this. I don't know how much it will cost, but I know... people like us can't afford it for a few lifetimes."
　　Just when Li Shengli was bored to work, a few of his coworkers were busy and chatted.
　　 "Hey, what the is the owner of this villa, so rich?"
"I heard Lao Zhao say something, it seems to be a basketball player named David. Cough... The name of the foreigner is too difficult to remember. People like this star can make millions of dollars a year. ."
　　 "A few... millions, or dollars? My mother, I can make so much money from playing, then we..."
"Oh, save yourself. I heard that the stars are very strong, they are all big guys, just because your head is not even squeaky." The person who spoke suddenly thought of something and glanced at the side. Li Shengli joked: "Speaking, Li Shengli, you can try it, ha ha ha!"

　　Can you make millions of dollars by playing basketball?
　　 This is too profitable.
　　 Li Shengli didn't answer the worker's joke, but he felt a wave in his heart, but after a while he shook his head and shook off his unrealistic thoughts.
　　 Speaking of basketball, Li Shengli is one of the few hobbies.
　　Because of his height, he joined the school's basketball team in high school. It was just that domestic basketball was not popular at that time. In addition to his busy schoolwork, he could only take time out to play with his classmates.
　　 Later, he studied in the United States. Although he had a lot of spare time, he was always running around his stomach, and the basketball he once loved could only be left behind.
　　 "David?"
　　 "Although I don't know who this person is, it should be a very powerful star."
　　 did not take the science and technology friends, but Li Shengli remembered David's name in his heart.

Ten p.m.
　　The working hours of the construction team ended, and it was the supper time that Li Shengli was most looking forward to.
　　 ate three lunch boxes in a row, and after the foreman, old Zhao, turned blue, Li Shengli only had a hiccup.
　　 Having eaten, he didn't rush back to the school's dormitory. Instead, he walked to a public basketball court next to the villa, because there was an'old friend' waiting for him.
　　 "Hey, Mr. Thompson, you came very early today." Li Shengli greeted enthusiastically.
　　 Some time ago, he accidentally discovered the stadium, because it was ten o'clock in the evening after the work was finished, so the stadium was empty. Except for him, there was only one middle-aged black uncle, Mr. Thompson.
　　 Then Li Shengli, who had itchy hands, played a bullfight with Mr. Thompson, and then the two could always meet here every night.
　　 "You finally came, I thought you wouldn't come if something happened today." Thompson was very happy to see Li Shengli appear.
　　 "How could it be that yesterday's loss was so miserable, I said that I must win back today. Let's start quickly, I can't wait."
　　Li Shengli didn't say anything. He took off his shirt and showed his solid muscles. This action is accompanied by Chinese subtitles ‘I can’t wait any longer’.
　　 Fortunately, the two didn't think much about it. They picked up the ball and started playing the bullfight.

　　 Thompson is only a little over nine meters tall, a head shorter than Li Shengli, but I have to admit... his level is very high, not only the speed is amazing, but the shooting rate is also terrible.
　　 However, Li Shengli is not an ordinary person. He standing on the court would judge two people in peacetime. UU reading books www.uukanshu. Com's extra focus, although the technology is a bit rough, but has an absolute advantage in height, and Thompson played back and forth.
　　 After half an hour.
　　 "Thompson, are you sure you are just an amateur player? How do I think... your level has reached the level of professional players." Li Shengli wiped a sweat while sitting on the ground.
　　 "Professional players? Just kidding, those professional players you said are only worthy of my shoes. Oh, yes, speaking of it, your strength has improved a lot recently, and you can almost give me shoes."
　　 Thompson's face hung with an unsmiling smile, and no matter how Li Shengli looked, this guy seemed to be bragging.
　　 "Okay, it's almost time, I'm going back to school." Looking at the time, Li Shengli got up and patted his butt, "Thompson, I'm in a bad state today, waiting for tomorrow... I won't lose tomorrow.
　　 "I remember...you said the same yesterday."
　　 "I have figured out your routine, don't try to shoot in front of me."
　　 "Oh, God, you seem to have said this the day before yesterday."
　　 "I... I... goodbye!"
　　 had to say that Thompson was definitely an embarrassing chatter and a topic terminator. Li Shengli was uncomfortable. He picked up his clothes and slipped out after saying goodbye, while Thompson looked at Li Shengli's back and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Damn it, I'm exhausted. What this guy grew up eating, it's getting harder and harder to win him." Thompson panted slightly, far less relaxed than Li Shengli saw. "His physical fitness is too It’s terrifying, and it’s not worse than that of Jabal’s old kid, that is... the technology is too bad. If you can learn from Jabal, few people can fight against him inside, right?
