Chapter 49: Ma Jian who was cheated by UCLA

In the blink of an eye, the time has entered the end of August, and students have begun to return to school one after another.

Richard's great work of fiction, the first volume of his high school career is over......

In almost three months, 5,000 words in three days, this high school paper has a total of 150,000 words, and earned Richard 150,000 US dollars!

The Herald made a lot of money, and in three months, their sales more than tripled, and other newspapers in the state that were directly squeezed lost their living space......

It's not that there are no newspapers and magazines that try to contact Richard, trying to dig Richard to write "Violent Black", and the reward offered is quite tempting, twice as much as the Herald!

But Richard directly refused......

Richard's main purpose in writing this thing is really not for money, but purely to pass the time when it hurts to be bored!

If it's for money, Richard, a time-traveler, has too many ways to make money!

Not to mention anything else, going back to China to buy land, that is the most cost-effective deal!

The rate of return is a thousandfold, and the investment method is extremely brainless and completely risk-free!

Richard is now piecing together and can get together about $1.8 million, and this money may bring Richard a return of hundreds of millions of dollars in 20 years!

This is just Richard's investment of 1.8 million US dollars, in the case of a small fight, if he earns 10 million US dollars in the next two or three years, take it back to invest, think about what a huge income this is!

In addition to buying land, stock speculation, bitcoin, acquisition or investment in potential startups, in the case of predicting the future, which is not the way to make a lot of money......

It can be said that as long as a traverser has a little bit of original capital, he doesn't have to worry about making money at all......

Money is indeed a good thing in Richard's opinion, but if there is too much, it will also become a trouble!

Not to mention anything else, the well-known top rich people are dangerous to engage in a big health care, and if one is not careful, he will give people a jump, is this considered troublesome......

Of course, Richard was certainly not the kind of person who had great health care, he was a man with lofty ideals and detached from low tastes......

……

Therefore, Richard himself didn't want to make too much money, if he became a top head coach, the annual salary of tens of millions of dollars, plus the income from the current novel, was enough for Richard to live the best life......

That being said, Richard may also need a lot of money in the future, so he may also be slightly involved in some more money-making industries......

……

In the training ground, nine young men stood in front of Richard......

To Richard's surprise, all of the four dragon balls he spent more than a month looking for did not break his promise, and they all stood in front of Richard with excitement on their faces.

Answers and truths!

Big Ben and Big Zhi!

Villains and handsome guys!

Jamison and Raheem!

And a flounder......

This is Richard's nine-star lineup......

In fact, in addition to Barry Jr. and Green who graduated from the draft last season, there were two fringe players left......

Both fringe players are not on scholarships, and after some deliberation before the start of the season, Richard made the decision to let them go......

It seemed like an extremely cruel decision, but Richard knew it was definitely for their good!

First of all, they will never get any playing time in this nine-star roster, and if Richard gives them a lot of playing time, there must be a future All-Star player who will have less playing time......

This is definitely unfair to the Nine Stars them.

Secondly, nine out of ten of them have no chance to enter the NBA and make a lot of money in the future, in this case, it is better to focus on their studies and find a job after graduation......

If they continue to stay in the team, I am afraid that they will end up with nothing to ......

……

"Young lads, welcome to Purdue!"

Richard stood in front of Jiuxing and said with a smile.

"Coach, are we only nine this season......" Big Ben saw that there were only nine players on the team, and except for him, Iverson and Miller, who were sophomores, the remaining six were all freshmen!

Originally, last season's Purdue University ten-man roster was enough to be small, but this season it has been reduced to nine.

Richard nodded, "That's right, nine, we're just nine of you this season!" ”

"It's all the same, our Purdue University is not much more expensive, let alone nine people, even if there are only five people, I think we can beat other teams!" Big Ben said with a smile, he was obviously extremely confident in the strength of Purdue University!

"By the way, Coach, let's prophecy again......" Thinking of Richard's magical prediction last season, Iverson suddenly spoke.

Barry Jr. was selected by the New Jersey Nets with the ninth overall pick in the draft at the end of June......

Interestingly, the Nets' initial target was UCLA's star Aubanon, but after watching the NCAA Finals performance and the tryout, they finally chose Brent Barry......

Richard clearly remembered that Barry should have been the fifteenth pick according to the normal historical trajectory, and did not enter the lottery show, and now under the butterfly effect, this kid's order has improved a lot......

What's even more interesting is that Barry Jr. also called Richard before the draft, saying that he had met a draft player from China named Ma Jian......

This came as a surprise to Richard, who was no stranger to Ma Jian, an NCAA trailblazer.

This well-known James of Richard's previous life, his NCAA experience is quite inspirational, and many Chinese fans know some of it......

It can be said that his experience is completely a combination of Dazhi and Daben......

At the beginning, Ma Jian represented the Chinese team in the Barcelona Olympics, scoring an average of 3.7 points per game, and was favored by the basketball mecca UCLA and gave him a full scholarship......

But after arriving in the United States, UCLA said that Ma Jian's sports school degree was not good, and if he wanted to stay at UCLA, he would have to pay for it himself......

At your own expense?! The tuition fees of American universities, especially the top universities, are absolutely terrifying, and Ma Jian has no choice but to join a community college, just like Big Ben......

And because the Basketball Association did not allow Ma Jian to come to the United States, Ma Jian insisted on going his own way, so he was permanently disqualified from the national team, which is very similar to Dazhi......

In Richard's view, UCLA's refusal to grant Ma Jianquan a scholarship on the grounds of poor academic qualifications is simply a bit of nonsense......

The most likely scenario is that UCLA scholarships are full, with only nine full scholarship slots available for an NCAA team, and any more would have to be approved by the Board of Trustees......

Coupled with the fact that O'Bannon entered UCLA at the same time as Ma Jian, Ma Jian's average of 3.7 points per game is really not competitive, even if it is scored in the Olympics......

In this case, it is unlikely that UCLA will directly tell Ma Jian that we have no scholarship for you, after all, they promised Ma Jian a full scholarship before......

We also want you and want to give you a full scholarship, but your academic qualifications are not good, and the fault is not in our UCLA......

In this way, Ma Jian was pitted by UCLA, the mecca of basketball in the United States......

There must be no way to mix in China, what else can I do, continue to stay in the United States and look for opportunities......
