Almighty Coach

Although the hotel where Li Dai lives is not an expensive big hotel, the public security nearby is still very good. At least you do n’t have to worry about being robbed when you go out at night.

The place where Allen-Hampton took Li Dai was completely different. It was a black gathering area and a slum. The public security environment was poor. Even if it was in the daytime, someone might take out a gun and rob it. . Drugs, guns, and various crimes are nothing new here.

The houses here are very broken, it looks like they are in disrepair, some houses have broken glass, and then they are covered with plastic paper, and the dark gray walls are all kinds of graffiti, highlighting the culture of African Americans . There was a very old car parked on the roadside. Li Dai even suspected that the car was older than his own. The car glass on one side was gone, and a few black children were playing beside them.

Li Dai was a little scared and looked around curiously, and Alan Hampton said from the side: "The blacks in Los Angeles are not high. This neighborhood is much better than the Mideast, if it is in Detroit You do n’t even dare to drive in many poor neighborhoods, because there may be a gun at you anytime. "

On the roadside, a group of black young men with tattoos were gathered in a pile. One of the big fat men, who had nearly three hundred kilograms, saw Li Dai's expression, staring at him.

Lee Dayton suddenly had an urge to escape, and Allen shouted at the fat man: "Martin, put away your scary expression, this is my brother, don't hit him!"

After hearing the words, the fat black man grinned and did not scare Li Dai anymore. Other blacks did not pay attention to Li Dai when they heard Allen say this.

"See it, I didn't brag, I'm very tasty here!" Allen said proudly.

"Do you live near here?" Li Dai asked.

"No, my family is in Virginia, and I grew up in Virginia. I came to Los Angeles. I wanted to join Adidas basketball training camp. By the way, I found a university that can provide me with scholarships." Allen Hampton Speaking of which, the expression becomes a little unnatural.

"Then why didn't you join Adidas' basketball training camp?" Li Dai asked.

"I missed the confirmation time." Allen continued: "Adidas basketball training camp sent me an invitation, but I did not confirm within the specified time, so they disqualified me."

"Why?" Li Dai then asked.

Allen hesitated and said, "Because I was imprisoned at the time."

Li Dai did n’t continue to ask, but Allen took the initiative to explain: "In the school football team, I am a quartile, I am the best quartile among all high schools in Virginia, and I also won the state for the school. Champion. On the day we celebrated the championship, we went to bowling and then quarreled with a group of white guys, those guys called us 'black ghosts', they discriminated against us black guys, then we quarreled, and then we fought ! "

"The white people couldn't beat us, so we called more people, and we called more people, and eventually developed into a group fight of more than 50 people. As a result, of course, we agreed, they had ten Several people were taken to the hospital for rescue, and we also injured seven or eight people. Then the court ruled that my four companions were imprisoned for 15 years, and I was sentenced to five years in prison! "

"However, the leading white man who fought with us was only sentenced to community reeducation, while our black people did not even allow parole. We chose to appeal, and some black groups were also helping us. In the end, the lawsuit reached the High Court, and we won the lawsuit. But because of this matter, I also spent four months in prison. "

"I see!" Li Dai nodded.

Although everyone advocates equality every day, racial discrimination is very serious in the United States. Compared with white people, people of color are discriminated against in all aspects of school enrollment, employment, and even life. When faced with racial discrimination, Chinese people often choose to swallow their voices, while black people prefer to speak with their fists.

Allen went on to say: "The four months in prison made me miss a lot of opportunities. There were several college football coaches who wanted me to join. In fact, I like football more. I like that kind of thing. Compared to the excitement of rushing the ball out of the crowd, basketball is too soft. "

"I think most Americans like football more." Li Dai said with approval. The football they call is of course American football.

Compared with other sports, American football is indeed the largest sports in the United States. In the United States, American football is the real national sport. As long as it is an American, there is no dislike of playing American football.

"Because of this fight, I can't get a college football scholarship anymore. No university is willing to ask for someone who has been in prison because of a fight." Allen sighed.

Going to jail is indeed a big stain. People with a previous history will be discriminated against whether they go to school or in employment, even in the US Guy.

And American football is originally a fiery sport. The athletes collide with each other. The scene is very hot. Fighting incidents on the court are also very common. Even in the top nfl professional leagues, there are group fights.

Such a violent sport obviously does not welcome athletes such as Allen who have a history of fighting. The coach will think that Allen is an absolute instability factor, even if the quartile is the core of the stadium, even if Allen is Virginia The best quartile in high school, and no college coach is willing to ask him.

Speaking of which, Allen ’s mood is somewhat depressed: "My football career has ended early, so now I can only pin my hopes on basketball, hoping that the university can provide me with a basketball scholarship and let me go I played in college for a year or two, and then I'm going to participate in the NBA draft! "

When referring to the NBA draft, Allen's eyes showed a hint of fineness.

"I believe you will be selected by NBA." Li Dai said very confidently.

After all, Allen is an athlete with s-class talent. It is estimated that there are few players in this talent. Li Dai feels that as long as the manager of the nba team is not blind, Allen will definitely be able to enter the lottery area.

"But I have to find a person who is willing to ask for my school. In the east, my reputation is not good. No university wants to ask me, so I can only come to the west to try my luck. If there is no scholarship, I ca n’t afford the money. University. "Allen shrugged and continued," Getting a scholarship and then going to university has become my only chance. "
