Chapter Thirty-Eight: Going to the United States
Thank you for the reward of the helmsman of one person and one heart and one world, and the pink newcomer asks for a reward, a collection, and a recommendation vote~
――――――――――――――
The time on the invitation is the 20th of the following month, which is nearly a month before the start of the trial.
This month was not an easy month for Tang Shuai, and after getting the invitation, he immediately went to find someone with a low-level skill package to fight alone.
After a month, he basically collected the basic skill packs he needed, of course, only basic or white, because there are basically no green skill packs on the CUBA field, and when it comes to the CBA rotation level, it is difficult for him to see, even if he finds a way to make an appointment, he is not 100% confident that he can beat, after all, the average CBA rotation player has more than one skill pack.
After making these final preparations, in mid-May, he took a leave of absence, got his passport, brought his necessities, and got on a plane to Dallas, USA, with He Tianju.
It was the first time in his life that he had taken a plane, and he happened to be sitting by the window, looking out the window at the gradually shrinking buildings, and he couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts in his heart.
Basketball is the most participatory sport in China, there is no one, the basketball court in the streets and alleys, the shouting of those who don't know each other, is a scene of sweating naked, and there are countless people who are on campus like him and have dreams.
However, in such an environment, in the long history of basketball, there are only a handful of people who have the opportunity to have a relationship with the NBA, and only Yao Ming has a foothold in the NBA, and China, with a population of 1.5 billion or more, has left so few traces in the NBA, a basketball mecca, because of the natural sports defects of the yellow race.
When Yao Ming gained a foothold in the NBA, how many people were crazy about it, and there were countless people who skipped classes and skipped classes, and the crazy sports weekly newspaper was more like a concretization of the atmosphere, and the love of basketball was once very popular, but all this gradually disappeared with Yao Ming's retirement.
Many people say that the NBA is not as attractive as before, there is no confrontation, but in the end, these are just excuses, you must know that the Chinese have the concept of calf protection in their bones, and how many people will really care about this league in the NBA without Chinese?
The current NBA, for Chinese fans, needs a person who can gain a foothold and even go further!
He thought of what Xiao Luo said, Dr. Chen Zhaotian must be a person who is keen on basketball, and the doctor must have seen this, so he developed such a system, and he was destined to do it or not, and now this mission has fallen on him.
There is a long way to go, but he believes in himself and believes that he will not let Dr. Chen Zhaotian and all the fans down!
"What are you looking at?" He was in a daze when He Tianju suddenly called out to him.
He came back to his senses, turned his head to look at the Liaoning man, and shook his head with a smile, "It's nothing, it's the first time I've taken a plane, and I'm a little curious." ”
He Tianju patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "It's okay, this Dallas is still far away, you can also lie down and sleep for a while, otherwise you will get airsick when you take a plane for the first time." ”
"Well, okay, thank you." Tang Shuai smiled and said, Liaoning people have a northerner personality and speak more heartily, and he feels good to be able to go with He Tianju.
He Tianju was right, after the plane flew for a while, it entered the clouds and began to jolt, he began to feel a little dizzy, looked at He Tianju who had closed his eyes next to him, he adjusted his posture, and then closed his eyes as well.
……
"Wake up~ Wake up!"
In his sleep, he felt someone shaking him, and when he opened his eyes in a daze, he saw He Tianju's familiar face.
He Tianju stretched out his hand and pointed out the window and said, "Look outside, we have arrived." ”
Tang Shuai rubbed his sleepy eyes and turned his head to look out the window.
The United States, separated from China by the vast Pacific Ocean, is also a country near the sea, but the landforms of the two countries are completely different, China is more lofty mountains, while the United States is more vast plains, even in front of Kansas in the southwest corner of North America, the picture of industry and agriculture intertwined on the plains is a new and completely different style for Tang Shuai, an Oriental.
"It's beautiful." He couldn't help but let out a sigh.
The plane flew over the plain, the grassland gradually disappeared, and cities of different styles began to appear on the plain, dotting this vast grassland, which has a unique flavor.
Entering the airspace of Kansas, the plane began to lower its altitude, and when it entered the airspace of Dallas, the plane began to lower its altitude, and at this time, the panorama of Dallas also appeared in front of Tang Shuai's eyes, enlarged step by step.
Like Chinese cities, tall buildings stand tall, and what was originally seen in the sky has now become a large area.
The plane is still descending altitude.
"That's the American Airlines Center, our first stop." He Tianju pointed to a building outside the window at this time and said.
It was a somewhat castle-like square building, surrounded by vertically built orange high-rises, and inside these towers, a lid resembling a tortoiseshell, and the whole building was imbued with European classical style.
Is that the American Airlines Center?
Looking at the building that has become bigger a little bit, Tang Shuai couldn't help but feel restless, he used to watch games in China, and the broadcast footage rarely gave the overall appearance of the arena, the first time he saw the NBA arena, and it was the place he was about to go, for him, a person with a basketball dream, it was not easy to keep calm in his heart.
"The plane is about to land, please fasten your seatbelts and ...... passengers"
At this time, the flight attendant began to play the reminder of the upcoming station.
After a jolting moment, the plane landed at Fort Worth International Airport in Dallas.
Tang Shuai and He Tianju got off the plane, and after exiting from the airport, they took a taxi directly to the hotel they had booked.
Because it is only a trial, the team will not arrange accommodation for the players, everything is for the players to solve by themselves, fortunately, there are He Tianju and the staff of the Liaoning team, and he doesn't need to worry about these things.
When I departed from China, it was still in the morning, and after I arrived in the United States, I flew for most of the day, but because of the time difference, it was close to noon after arriving.
Although they had been asleep on the plane for a long time, the two of them still felt a wave of sleepiness coming completely uncontrollably, especially Tang Shuai, who had jet lag for the first time, and already felt extremely heavy eyelids in the car, and he didn't fall asleep.
As soon as he arrived at the hotel, he didn't take off his clothes, put the quilt on his body and fell asleep.
This sleep was dark, and when he was full of sleep, he looked at the time, and it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening American time.
Looking at the clock on the wall, he felt that he was in high spirits, and he felt that he had just woken up, and he suddenly felt a big head.
