unfinished glory

Chapter 4 Heading to Duke
Half a month later, Li Chongxiao performed another body side, and really felt the strengthening of his body. This was the result of his lack of formal training.

Holding this side report, he began to think about the future.

According to the previous plan, he would go to university in China, so he rejected his mother's proposal to study in the United States.

His father arranged for him to take a foreign exam, and then he will study in a 985 university in China.

Study hard in school, strive to play CUBA in college for a few years, and pass the addiction of basketball competitions.

After graduating, he naturally wanted to join his father's company and take over the family's business step by step. In the end, he couldn't escape getting married and having children.If possible, pass on the dream of the road to professional basketball.

But now, I can be a generation, so why throw it to the next generation.

So from now on, what do you need to do to prepare to embark on the road of professional basketball?
Li Chongxiao has the answer in his heart: since the hard conditions are met, then it is necessary to improve the soft power.

First, improve yourself through scientific training to stimulate your greatest potential; then absorb advanced basketball concepts and improve your basketball IQ.

The high school league does not require much cooperation and tactics, and there is a high probability of winning with an arrow character.

But professional basketball does not rely on pick-and-roll offense, and defense is done with zone defense. Players need to be able to read the game and understand tactics.

The training that Li Chongxiao had been exposed to before was already better than most people, and it could only reach the level of a basketball player.

As for technical and tactical knowledge, what he knew was given to him by his grandfather.Now that he has the strength to embark on the road of professional basketball, he wants to get the best basketball training in the next few years.

Where is the best basketball training method?USA!

However, if Li Chongxiao dared to abandon his studies and go to the United States to pursue his illusory basketball dream, his grandfather and father might hesitate for the sake of his new body data; but if his mother knew Fried meat with bamboo shoots is served.

Then in the name of studying abroad.My mother mentioned it a few times before, and I didn't want to, so I just pretend to change my mind now.

As for school, it's Duke.Famous coaches, famous teams, and prestigious schools, as long as they enter the NCAA, relying on this qualification, after returning to China, they can operate it and then enter a CBA team. Wouldn’t it be great? !

Li Chongxiao thought happily, and immediately wanted to take out the phone to call his mother, but fortunately he held back, he had to discuss this matter with his grandfather first.

After brewing for a while, he came to the old man's study and started a conversation.

"Grandpa, some time ago my mother proposed to study abroad, I thought about it carefully, and I think it's okay."

"Oh? Have you thought it through?"

"Well, I've been thinking a lot recently. You can go out for a walk while you're young."

"That's fine, you can think it through. Any plans?"

"I'm going to Duke. Good school, good basketball."

"Oh, you still don't give up. Forget it, you have made up your mind since you were a child. Now that you have decided, just call your parents and say that I agree."

"Well, then I will prepare according to this." After Li Chongxiao said this, he gritted his teeth and made a new request:

"One more thing, then I'm going to Duke. I want to improve my playing level while there is still more than half a year left. Grandpa, can you help me find a high-level trainer to train my body and Practice your ball skills?"

Li Guangfu put down the book in his hand, sighed, and was silent for a while.

"Okay! Since you still have this idea, it's okay to give it a try. Anyway, you are rich, so you can indulge yourself. I will retire when you graduate from high school, and your father will use some contacts. It can help you a little."

After confirming the goal of studying abroad, Li Chongxiao began to prepare. Other chores were handled by his mother, and he was only responsible for the cultural examination.

Both TOEFL and SAT pass easily.Coupled with the results of his own basketball game and various awards from the school, Duke University quickly passed the application for studying abroad, and the time came to March 2003.

Li Chongxiao has been training systematically for nearly half a year, following a trainer and a nutritionist.

Both of them are high-end talents who have undergone orthodox training abroad. Li Guangfu invited them here through his contacts, and Li Guoqiang waved money.

Li Chongxiao is now 1.9 meters two, and his whole body has grown stronger, with great progress in strength, speed and reaction.The vertical bounce reached 85 cm, which is higher than many NBA players.

Li Guangfu also got this body profile data, which made him call it unscientific, and he was extremely optimistic about his grandson's professional basketball career.

In August, Li Chongxiao came to Duke University with a height of 1.9 meters 90 and a jump of [-] cm.

Founded in 1838 and located in Durham, North Carolina, USA, Duke University is a world-class research university.

It is one of the best universities in the United States and the best private university in the southern United States. It has long been ranked among the top ten in the United States and the top twenty in the world in various rankings.

Duke University's basketball team is called the Blue Devils, founded in 1906, the current coach is the famous "Little K" - Mike Krzyzewski.

Under the leadership of Coach K, since the 84-85 season, Duke has won three national championships, consecutive championships in 3 and 1991, and the most recent NCAA championship in 1992.

In addition, it also achieved 9 final semi-finals, among which from 1988 to 1992, it entered the semi-finals 5 times in a row.

Duke University has produced many NBA players, the most famous of which is Grant Hill.

There are also many players who were selected in the high picks. In addition to the 1994 prospect Grant Hill mentioned above, like the 1992 prospect Christian Laettner, he was selected for the Dream Team that year.There is also Elton Brand, the No. 1999 pick in 2001, and Sean Battier, the sixth overall pick in [-].

However, the above has nothing to do with Li Chongxiao. He is quite self-aware and his ambition is in the CBA, so being able to enter the Blue Devils is the biggest victory.

He came to Durham in advance, made all preparations, and submitted an application for admission.

After the Blue Devils won the NCAA championship in 2001, they failed in the top [-] for two consecutive years.

The only members who won the championship that year were Chris Duhon and Nick Holt.Later, players like JJ Redick, Daniel Ewing, Sheldon Williams, and Shaverick Randolph were added one after another.

This season, he even recruited Luol Deng, a member of the best first team selected by Parade magazine and USA Today and a member of McDonald's national high school star lineup.

In addition, there are Sean Ducre, Lee Melchioni, Patrick Johnson, Andy Borman and Michael Thompson who stayed from last season, so there are actually not many places left on the team.

While Li Chongxiao lamented the difficulty of qualifying for the American university team, he accompanied his mother, Ms. Wang Caixia, who sent him to school, to visit the small town.

Originally, Ms. Wang was excited to help Li Chongxiao buy a house and live off-campus, but unfortunately the school didn't allow it, so she had to give up.
