Harris had just returned from the VIP stand and pointed out the players with his hands on his hips in a serious tone: "Payton, Malone, you two play in the second half."
This time Ma Long did not refuse the coach's arrangement.
He stood up and stretched his muscles while staring at Zhao Yun in the opposite player's rest area with his cheetah-like eyes:
"I'll show him what NBA strength is."
Compared to the arrogant Malone, Payton was much more low-key and humble. When his name was called, he stood up and went to the locker room to change his jersey.
O'Neal suddenly stood up and said, "I'll play in the second half too."
Harris frowned slightly, as if he felt that it was unnecessary for three main players to play, but he didn't want to offend Oni.
"Then you and Ma Long should take turns. Be gentle and don't scare the newcomer."
When the players heard Harris call Zhao Yun "newcomer", they were surprised and understood.
Obviously, the club's top management are very satisfied with Zhao Yun's performance and intend to recruit him into the team.
On the other side, seeing that the SEAL team would have three main players on the field in the second half, the several students working with Zhao Yun felt a sense of pressure and tension.
If they can be compared to rookies, then the main players in the NBA are experienced veterans. There is a huge gap between the two.
But Zhao Yun’s way of thinking is different from others.
He thought that even if he couldn't make it to the NBA, being able to play a game with the main players in the NBA would be enough for him to brag about for a few years.
Therefore, when he saw the new lineup of the Navy SEALs, he was not afraid. Instead, he was eager to try and looked excited.
The second half begins soon.
Led by two main players, Payton and Malone, the Seals were unstoppable and scored two goals in less than three minutes after the start of the game.
Not only did they tie the score, but they also surpassed Zhao Yun's team by one point.
This competition vividly demonstrated what it means that "in the face of absolute strength, any skill is just fancy moves."
Ten minutes passed.
The SEAL team was leading by eleven points, and Zhao Yun had not scored a single goal from the start of the game until now.
Compared to the frustration of other team members, Zhao Yun, who was born rebellious, became more and more courageous.
"In the last quarter, we will fight them hard. Even if we lose, we cannot let others look down on us! Unless you want to continue to be laughed at and discriminated against by that bastard William when you go back."
As soon as the last quarter started, everyone could clearly feel that the momentum of Zhao Yun's team had changed, and everyone seemed to be fighting for their lives.
Attitude is very important.
The players who were called by Zhao Yun to play in the competition were often bullied and discriminated against by William. One can imagine the depression and anger in their hearts.
Rather than saying they are playing a game, it would be more accurate to say they are fighting and venting against injustice.
call out--
As the whistle sounded, the competition ended.
Zhao Yun's team lost to the SEAL team by seventeen points.
Although they lost, Zhao Yun's performance on the court was quite eye-catching, especially his one-handed three-pointer, which was highly appreciated by Jerry.
As soon as the tryout was over, Jerry invited Zhao Yun to join the team.
The membership signing ceremony and sponsorship cooperation signing ceremony were scheduled on the same day.
night.
Shen Mingzhu booked a 360-degree panoramic restaurant to celebrate for Zhao Yun. Together with several black students from the basketball academy, a total of ten people sat around a six-meter long table.
Pei Tang loves to play. Halfway through the meal, he dragged Shen Mingzhu around to take photos as a souvenir.
It was the first time for several black students to enter such a high-end restaurant. After the meal, they all took their wine glasses to the observation terrace to enjoy the bustling night view of Los Angeles.
Soon, only Pei Ziheng, Zhuang Xu and Zhao Yun were left at the table.
Although he will officially join the Navy SEAL Team tomorrow, Zhao Yun is not as happy as he imagined.
Jerry was willing to sign him, of course, because he saw his potential, but more importantly, it was because of Pei Ziheng's sponsorship.
Mr. Zhao has worked hard for half his life but has not been able to earn so much money. Although he doesn't know how Pei Ziheng earned this money, it must not have been easy.
While he felt sorry for the money, he was also ashamed of his dream that his good brother had to pay for it.
"Actually, I don't think it's that urgent to enter the NBA. Maybe I can hone my skills a little bit. I feel like if I get into the SEALs through the backdoor, I might end up sitting on the bench."
As a childhood friend and brother, how could Pei Ziheng not see the burden and concerns in Zhao Yun's heart.
"I never do business that loses money. I dare to invest so much money because I believe that you will be able to make all this money back for me sooner or later."
This certainly made Zhao Yun flattered, "Hehe, although I think I am very awesome, I can't guarantee that I can make money."
Pei Ziheng said calmly: "Just play well, don't worry about anything else, otherwise..."
He smiled with a fake smile, "I will tear your head off and kick it like a ball."
Zhao Yun: “…”

Zhuang Xu: "I've never kicked a ball made of a human head."
Pei Ziheng: "Me too."
Zhao Yun: No, I'm just joking, but why do you look so expectant? ...
After dinner, Zhao Yun returned to the hotel and was greeted by two strange white men.
"We've seen your tryout performance with the Navy Seals. It was pretty good. Are you interested in trying out at our club?"
It turned out that the two white men were the Taurus team's affairs officer and draft coach. They happened to be doing some business near the stadium today and took a fancy to Zhao Yun.
"Thank you for your appreciation, but I have decided to join the SEAL Team. Sorry."
Hearing this, the other party couldn't help showing regret, but turned around and invited several black students who were with Zhao Yun to try out.
In today's competition, the performances of several players were also remarkable.
For several black students, this was a pleasant surprise, and without surprise, they all accepted the invitation.
Return to the room.
Although he rejected the invitation from the Golden Bulls, Zhao Yun was still very excited. He felt a sense of relief as if "no one cared about me after ten years of hard study, but I became famous overnight and everyone in the world knows me."
Thinking of the days and nights he spent practicing alone on the court over the past two years, he couldn't help but feel his eyes turn red.
"I finally made it!"
Pei Ziheng looked at him and said, "This is just your starting point. You still have infinite possibilities in the future."
Others said that Zhao Yun would only think that they were comforting him.
But he always regarded what came out of Pei Ziheng's mouth as the truth.
If Pei Ziheng says he can do it, then he can definitely do it.
With Zhao Yun officially joining the SEAL Club and becoming an NBA player, Shen Mingzhu and her two sons' summer vacation trip officially ended.
…
After returning to China, Pei Tang started to frantically make up for his homework.
"Mom, I don't want to go to school anymore."
"Why?"
Facing her serious question, Pei Tang hung his head and said, "I can't finish my homework."
For a good girl like Pei Tang, not being able to complete her summer homework was unacceptable to her. It was as serious as if the sky was falling. She felt anxious and ashamed about it.
Shen Mingzhu felt distressed when she saw the bruises under her daughter's eyelids, but she had to make her daughter understand the meaning of "doing things within one's ability."
"Have you forgotten what you promised me in Los Angeles?"
Pei Tang's eyes turned red with grievance, "I'm not lazy, I do it every day, it's just that there are too many homeworks! Why don't Aisha and the others have to do summer homework, but we have to do so much homework?" (End of this chapter)
