This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 25

Zhou Lin's selection is a matter of course. It is not unusual for him to be the core player of the team to win the 4A state championship.

After that, Zhou Lin received two invitation calls from Washington University and Virginia Commonwealth University.

Zhou Lin promised to meet with them separately in the next two days to discuss with each other.

Now, Zhou Lin is very clear about his choice.

Too strong teams, such as Duke, North Carolina, UCLA, Louisiana State University and other schools, are unlikely to throw olive branches at themselves casually.

I don't want to go either.

Then there's Florida, which will win its first national title in 2006.

There were five starters on that team, but they were all drafted by the NBA.

These colleges that are determined to win the championship and have rich backgrounds do have higher player standards than other schools, but they also hoard a lot of sophomores, juniors, and even colleges who continue to stay in order to win a higher draft position or to realize the dream of being a champion. Senior players.

Entering this kind of team, Zhou Lin is destined to be only a substitute.

The matter of seniority is itself one of the unspoken rules.

As for teams that are too weak, Zhou Lin doesn't want to join either. He can't even make it to March Madness, which is not good for his future development prospects.

In fact, only Virginia Tech, the University of Maryland and the University of Virginia were able to confirm the full scholarship to Zhou Lin, and they even only offered training camp invitations.

At least before the end of the New Jersey Invitational, Zhou Lin knew that he would not be able to decide which university to attend.

During the period on February 21st, Misha, the representative of Xueba, had already received the admission notice.

Offer from Westhampton College, University of Richmond.

This is the school she has applied for since the fourth grade of high school, and Zhou Lin is very happy for her to be admitted.

Misha is a girl who doesn't like to be too far away from home, so the schools she applied to are all in Virginia or surrounding areas. As a man and woman who have just entered the first stage of dating, they don't feel so safe with each other.

Therefore, the scope of Zhou Lin's consideration for universities is narrowing, and it is impossible for him to leave Richmond, the school in Virginia, or Washington DC too far.

To be honest, if he had a choice, Zhou Lin would also like to stay in Virginia and come back to see Lao Wang often.

Zhou Lin also figured it out. If it doesn't work, he can only consider going to Virginia Tech.

However, the matter of choosing a school should come to an end in April and May. Now Zhou Lin is going to New Jersey to participate in the invitational tournament. If his performance is eye-catching enough, he may be able to better negotiate with teams like Virginia.

……

New Jersey is not too far from Washington. It is also a state on the Atlantic coast. Its area ranks fifth from the bottom among the [-] states in the United States, but its population density is the highest in the country, because it happens to be in the transitional area between Boston and Washington, surrounded by New York. Metropolitan cities such as Philadelphia and Columbia.

"Registration is complete, welcome to check in."

The team's meals and lodgings are all borne by the event party. The hotel they stay in is less than ten kilometers away from the New Jersey beach. The hotel also provides a free sports training room.

"What a nice place, almost missed it."

Blair really almost couldn't come to New Jersey. Fortunately, in the ACT test in late February, Blair scored 21 points. Although it is not high, it has improved compared to before. Coupled with his basketball results, he may be lucky Joining a good school is also unknown.

"Want to go out for a stroll? I looked at the map and it's only eight kilometers away from the beach."

Blair looked at the scenery outside and said absentmindedly.

"Well, let's go!"

Before it was dark, Zhou Lin and Blair walked around. Although the weather was a bit cold, there were quite a lot of people in the surrounding shops. Zhou Lin looked to see if he could find some souvenirs to bring back to Misha.

After shopping for a while, the two walked to a street cafe, sat down and ordered some food.

"Excuse me, are you guys here to participate in the high school basketball invitational game?"

Suddenly, a small black man came over and asked tentatively.

"Conley!"

Zhou Lin looked at the slightly immature face, but he clearly recognized that it was the future NBA star Michael Conley.

"Brother, do you know me?"

Regarding Zhou Lin's sudden opening, Kangli said pleasantly, "That's great, can you lend me some money? I mean, I'll pay you back when I go back to the hotel later."

Then, Zhou Lin was in a pizzeria next door, and saw Greg Oden, who was only in the 11th grade but was already hulking, and looked a bit like Greg Oden, who was in his 30s, and another tall, thin black man, Dai Quinn Cook.

None of these three fools went shopping with any money, and they didn't know whether they had a tacit understanding or just pretended.

What's even more ridiculous is that everyone thought that one of the other two must have brought money, so they went to the pizza shop openly.

As a result, I was dumbfounded after eating.

The boss looked at the three big men in front of him and thought they were here to eat Bawang's meal, and they were about to pick up the phone to call the police, but Conley immediately begged for mercy and asked his two companions to wait for him to go back to collect the money, but he bumped into Zhou when he just went out. Lin and Blair.

Because of their age and height, he guessed that they were also here to participate in the competition, so he came forward to ask.

"Let me introduce, this is North Lawrence's small forward Daequan Cook, and this is Greg Oden, thank you for lending me money."

A group of five people came out of the pizza shop, Conley introduced.

Blair was puzzled, and whispered: "If it didn't mean that he just turned seventeen, I would have thought he was the coach. I didn't expect him to be Greg Oden."

On the way back, Conley introduced their team.

From Lawrence North High School, Indiana's top-ranked high school team, this year's state champions.

And Indiana's high school basketball championship competition is far more fierce than Virginia's.

Conley is the brains of this team.

Of course, the most famous is his teammate, Greg Oden, who is even a day-to-day figure.

He nearly toppled the Florida Twin Towers of Al Horford and Joakim Noah with one hand, which is what will happen in the next few years.

It's a pity that injuries destroyed him, so that this great emperor never reached the peak.

Back at the hotel, Conley took the initiative to find Zhou Lin and Blair with money.

"Blair, Zhou, after dinner, come to our room and play Texas Hold'em."

Conley invited: "There are many players from other high school teams who will also participate, let's get to know each other."

Zhou Lin doesn't like playing Texas Hold'em very much, but Blair is very interested, and he also wants to see players from other schools.

"Excuse me, where are the rooms of Michael Conley and Daquan Cook, do you know?"

A big black man came up and asked.

Another familiar face.

Wilson Chandler.

Well, the old CBA.
