Chapter 19 Virginia Tech's Sincerity

Jason left Warren County on the second day of Christmas. The meeting between them this time was not harmonious. After he left, Zhou Lin stayed at Misha's house for New Year's Eve and stayed until the [-]rd. It was Misha's grandfather Layton who drove Misha and Zhou Lin to school, and promised to watch his game when the time came.

The vacation is not over, the reason why I went back early is because Coach Jim called himself.

An assistant coach of an NCAA team wanted to talk to him, and he was very sincere.

"Hi, I'm Miller, Essieby Miller."

The tall, thin black man in front of him was an assistant coach of Virginia Tech, a graduate of Flint Hill School, and one of Coach Jim's disciples.

Zhou Lin took Miller's hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Miller."

"Zhou, I have been paying attention to you, you are a good basketball player."

This is the third prestigious NCAA school that Zhou Lin has come into contact with, and this Mr. Miller's attitude is far more humble than that of the University of Miami and the University of Maryland, which makes Zhou Lin feel flattered.

Maybe it's because of the alumni relationship.

But this is also an opportunity for Zhou Lin.

Although basketball is not the first ball game in the United States, there are at least tens of millions of children who love this sport. With the double blessing of absolute talent and systematic training, how many basketball talents can emerge in the United States, Zhou Lin is going to Compete with these children, under the environment of colored glasses.

What's more, he has been unknown for three years, but Zhou Lin is very confident that he is a late bloomer, as long as he is given a little more chance, he will be able to shine as he should.

And Virginia Tech seems to be the best opportunity.

Miller is a very polite black man with good conversation and admires Zhou Lin very much.

"Virginia Tech has always been a strong competitor in the NCAA league, and it is also in Virginia. If you come to Virginia Tech, I will take care of you."

Miller finally said: "I will try to convince the head coach, so please, don't make any commitments to any team during this time."

"Then how sure are you?" Zhou Lin asked.

Miller said: "If you can win the state championship, with your current performance, I can guarantee that the Virginia Tech Blackbirds will have a place for you."

After Miller left, Jim asked Zhou Lindao: "How is it? Do you have any thoughts on joining Virginia Tech?"

"Whichever NCAA team needs me, I will go."

The teams in the NCAA league will receive more attention from the NBA. Zhou Lin needs such a platform, but Zhou Lin doesn't have any ideas about which team to go to. It seems that they are all the same.

Jim smiled and said: "This is a good idea, but you have to know that Virginia Tech will be merged into the ACC this summer, and will compete with Duke, North Carolina, Maryland and other outstanding college basketball teams for qualifying spots. , Joining a good team will be very important to your future development, even though Miller is my student, and you have not received any commitment letter from any university yet."

The ACC league is a place rich in stars.

The famous Duke University has produced a large number of outstanding NBA active players such as Grant Hill and Elton Brand in recent years. alma mater.

And the most famous player in Virginia Tech history?

Three-point shooter Dell Curry!

It can be seen which is better and which is worse.

The NCAA has hundreds of teams, split into dozens of small leagues such as the ACC League is one of them, the outstanding teams in each league can enter the top 64 places before March Madness, and carry out a single elimination system, and finally Aspire to the championship.

This exciting and tense game system even has higher ratings than NBA games.

And some players, who were originally unknown, were suddenly recognized by NBA teams because of the few games in March Madness. Things keep happening.

So choosing a good NCAA team is also very important.

"Of course, first of all, you have to be the best among high school students in Virginia in order to attract more attention, from being selected to being selected."

Jim is really a good coach and he thinks Zhou Lin is good enough to pick an NCAA team.

At the beginning of 2005, Flint Hills had a terrifying record, a wave of six consecutive victories. At the beginning of February, the record reached a terrifying 22 wins and 1 loss, ranking first in the league. If Zhou Lin was not absent from it One game, and maybe Flint Hills will make it to the playoffs with a clean slate.

In the six games of the new year, Zhou Lin's data has been further improved, and the overall data has been raised to an average of 35 points, 7 assists, 6 rebounds, 2 blocks, and 3 steals per game.

And Zhou Lin's patient waiting, and the data that can be called epic level, finally paid off.

Virginia Tech officially made an offer before the finals, and waited for Zhou Lin to sign the letter of intent, but Coach Jim suggested that Zhou Lin wait.

In addition to Virginia Tech, including the University of Virginia, Wake Forest University, University of Maryland, North Carolina State University, etc., they will send scouts or assistant coaches to watch Zhou Lin's finals live.

Of course, Zhou Lin wasn't the only one being investigated.

With Zhou Lin's score and connection like chopping melons and vegetables, eight into four, four into two.

On February NO.15, the Flint Hill Brown Scorpions ushered in the most powerful enemy in the finals, the George High School Blackwolves, the overlord in the Virginia State Tournament, and their leader, Melt, has been pre-selected by the University of Miami Income under the command!
And the only loss given to Flint Hills was this team.

Of course, Zhou Lin did not play in that game, so this is also the first time he will face off against quasi-NCAA player Melt for the first time.

According to the video, Melt is a super talented player, with a height of 2.01m, a wingspan of 2.15m, and a weight of 250 pounds.

This game will be simulcast throughout Virginia.

There will be a short interview before the game, and Melt speaks out: "Zhou? He can't score 35 points on me, and he can't even do half of it. I can guard him, and the Black Wolves, will It's the winner of the game, you'll see."

And this sentence also reached Zhou Lin's ears. Zhou Lin smiled and said: "I don't care if I can get so many points, but this championship is not something he can win if he wants to."

And these two scenes were also edited and placed in the warm-up of the live broadcast.

"Zhou, my father is here too."

Before the game started, Misha told Zhou Lin the news.

And the person who offered Melton was Jason. This year, the University of Miami has recruited three first-year players in advance. In addition to the old players in the team, it is impossible for the University of Miami to recruit the same position as Melt. Overlapped Zhou Lin.

"I'm here to inspect the goods!" Zhou Lin said with a smile.

After a certain player is admitted in advance, it is normal to come and see it.

"My father didn't give you any bad impression before. He has always been like this, and he doesn't care too much about other people's feelings."

Zhou Lin shook his head and said, "Okay, the first thing I learned when I came to America is to get used to setbacks."

Misha looked at him, Zhou Lin smiled and said: "The second thing is to learn to overcome setbacks and break doubts."
