Chapter 10 New Jobs
"I'm sure Dick Young isn't that kind of person. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Carol raised three white fingers, unprecedented solemnity.
"He was forced to have a holiday with the local Madison gang in order to protect the innocent people of Middletownham's restaurant, and there was a brawl on the basketball court on Pine Street, and Sheriff Freeman had ruled that Young Di was justified in self-defense, and he was innocent."
Carroll quickly explained, and Luke chuckled: "But his detention is an indisputable fact, and if he is not guilty, he should be released." ”
"You ......" Carol raised her eyebrows, her phoenix eyes widened, and her towering chest continued to rise and fall, obviously angered by Luke.
Yang Di took a step forward at this time, his chest was straightened, and he faced Bo Ryan with a straight face: "Head coach, it's true that I have been in the police station, and it's true that I have a fight with the gangsters, but I promise that I am a serious and down-to-earth person, there is a saying in China called "seeing is believing, hearing is false", I hope you can give me a chance, if you still don't trust me, then I can't help it." ”
Yang Di stared at the thin old man with embarrassed eyes, clear and bright without impurities.
Luke said meaningfully: "This is just your wishful thinking, once you get involved with a gangster like Blackskin, how can it be so easy to get rid of the relationship, our University of Wisconsin badger team will not want a staff member like you, you should die." ”
Yang Di didn't speak again, just looked at Beau Ryan.
Ryan pondered for a long time, the air around him became solemn, Carol's request, Yang Di's promise, and Luke's reminder all flashed through his mind. Finally, I recalled the previous quick shots of Devin Harris, and Yang Di's meticulous and serious defensive appearance, if he always had that kind of concentration......
Ryan said earnestly, word for word.
"Stay, lad."
"Ding, congratulations to the host for being approved by the head coach for completing the instant task "Disrupt the Shooter", the straight arm interference ability has increased, and the current defensive attribute of holding the ball is 34. ”
Yang Di showed a happy look on his face, and quietly improved his defensive attributes with the ball, and he didn't care at all.
Luke, on the other hand, was pale, a little incredulous, and even said to Ryan in a questioning tone: "Coach, you have to think clearly, this guy is going to bring endless trouble to the Badgers!" We're on the rise right now, and if something happens, there's probably a lot of responsibility. ”
Luke said again and again that Yang Di was a dangerous person, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was targeting Yang Di. So Ryan was a little angry by what he said, his tone became cold, he glanced at Luke and said: "You don't have to worry about this, in short, from today onwards, Yang Di will be the sparring partner of our badger team, you just need to do your job." ”
Luke wanted to say something, opened his mouth, his face turned red, but he didn't say anything after all, and after glancing at Yang Di gloomily again, he turned around and left here.
Carroll and Yang Di thanked Ryan in unison: "Thank you, head coach. ”
Ryan waved his hand and left the court: "Good work lad, I hope you can stay focused every day, I hope you don't let me down." ”
Carol and Yang Di glanced at each other and laughed again.
......
On the way out of the school gate, Yang Di asks about Luke.
Carroll isn't very clear, either, "I just know that Luke is the youngest coach on the school and has been an assistant coach to Coach Ryan since last year, so it's not clear which part he's responsible for. I don't know why he's targeting you like this, anyway, you have to be careful when you're in school. ”
Yang Di grinned and said jokingly: "It is impossible for him to hire someone to beat me, and the person he invited may not be able to beat me." ”
Carol was amused by his pretended flirtatious tone, and laughed wildly.
"By the way, where do you live now?"
Speaking of the residence, Yang Di felt a little gloomy in his heart, but on the surface he still didn't care, "I, I live not far from Pine Street, don't worry, if I go to work, I won't be late." ”
"You still have some formalities to go through tomorrow, anyway, Coach Ryan will arrange all this by then, so you don't have to worry."
"Well, thank you, Carol."
"Thank me for what to do, you still have to work hard yourself."
"You're right, hahaha."
Yang Di touched his head, swept away the fierce beast on the street, and became unprecedentedly docile. Catherina Carroll looked at Yang Di's not-so-handsome but angular side face, her tall body was draped in the golden sunset, as warm as the Italian autumn breeze, and her snow-white pretty face turned red all of a sudden.
......
Naturally, Yang Di would not tell Carol that he lived in the dirty, messy, poorest, and darkest slums. In his heart, the beautiful and kind Carol is like an angel, pure as a crystal stone, and he himself is like a mouse in the night, just an insignificant little person at the bottom in the vast society, and she can help herself, which is already something he can't think of.
The evening breeze blows along the four lakes, and the whole Madison is like a girl who has just come out of the bath, crystal clear. To the east, the lights are already on, and the wet streets reflect the light, making the city more hazy.
"Toot ~" Yang Di curled up in the phone booth and dialed the international call.
"Xiaodi, you're finally calling! How's it going, is the work still going well? Is it hard to eat well or not, and whether you are used to living or not? ”
The voice of his mother's vicissitudes echoed in his ears, and Yang Di's eyes turned red all of a sudden.
"It's not hard, it's not hard at all. Mom, don't you know my cooking skills, I cook and eat by myself, and I'm very used to it. It's good here, I basically don't have any problems communicating with them, anyway, you can rest assured. ”
"Be careful when you're outside, don't treat yourself too badly, and remember to wear more clothes when it's cold."
"Mmmm, don't worry, by the way, Mom, I've changed jobs here."
"Changed jobs? Isn't it the multinational construction company that your uncle introduced you? ”
"That company, don't mention it." Yang Di wanted to tell what happened to him, but in order not to worry his mother, he couldn't help but say it, and instead introduced this new job: "I am now working as a sparring partner on the basketball team at the University of Wisconsin, with a monthly salary of 3,000 US dollars. ”
"What university? Three thousand dollars! "Yang Di came to work in the United States, and everyone in the family has an understanding of the exchange rate between the US dollar and the RMB. How did you get this job, you must have suffered a lot, are you tired of sparring? ”
"Sparring is very simple, Mom, you can put a hundred hearts. I'm strong, so I play ball with the University of Wisconsin. ”
"Then you should remember to read more books and learn more knowledge in that university. You were smart when you were young, and your academic performance has always been among the best, if it weren't for the poor conditions at home, you should also ......"
Yang Di interrupted his mother's words in a hurry, and said nonchalantly: "Oh, Mom, it's okay, I'm fine now, I will study hard when I have the opportunity." Dad, brother, and sister are all right, are they on the side? ”
"Your dad went out and hasn't come back yet, your brothers and sisters are here, I'll let them talk to you."
A chaotic voice came from the other end of the phone, and Yang Di's younger siblings rang at the same time, "Brother, how are you in the United States." "Brother, you have to take care of your body more, don't be tired of yourself." "Brother.......
Yang Di covered his mouth, tears flowed out of his eyes unconsciously, he took a deep breath, calmed down, and put on a pretending majestic appearance, "Bin Bin, Tingting, I'm fine in the United States, you don't have to worry about me." You are all older, you should take good care of your mother and father at home, study hard, and strive to be admitted to the ideal university. ”
"Brother, you can rest assured, Tingting and I have very good grades, among the best......"
"That's good, in short, you just have to study hard, and in the future, you will find a good job after graduating from college, and my brother is still waiting to touch your light, okay, let's not talk about it, international long-distance is expensive, so be it." Yang Di didn't wait for the other side to finish speaking, quickly hung up the microphone, and looked at the time, there were still a few seconds left to three minutes.
After paying the phone bill, Yang Di let out a sigh of relief, touched his stomach in hunger protest, and walked to Madison's vegetable market.
......
The Big Ten conference is less than two months away, and usually at this stage, the recruitment of major colleges and universities in the United States has entered the end.
The nation's gift-level high school basketball boys have basically been carved up, and the rest of the states know their own family affairs.
Devin Harris, for example, is a native of Wisconsin, who broke the school scoring record in high school and made a name for himself throughout the state of Wisconsin, and even last year, he was named Mr. Basketball of Wisconsin, and this year is his second year at the University of Wisconsin.
Yang Di also learned later that the guy who was practicing with him looked a little dark and thin, and some of his appearance was not good-looking, and he would be such a powerful character.
Yang Di entered the school the next day and went through the formalities, and Coach Ryan solemnly introduced him in front of everyone.
Everyone knew that this guy who was so tall turned out to be just a sparring partner, and the college students suddenly lost interest in him. Yang Di didn't care about everyone's opinions, and he hadn't seen Coach Luke who seemed to have a deep hatred with him yesterday.
His first assignment of the morning was similar to yesterday, accompanying Devin Harris to train on three-point interference.
After a period of rest in the afternoon, from three o'clock, he accompanied two taller and stronger inside linemen to train back singles......
