Chapter 992 991. Go to NCAA

Going to college in the United States?

Yi Jianlian has been deeply impressed by the basketball strength of the United States.

He once represented the National Youth Team and played with a group of high school students and freshman in the U.S. National Youth Team, losing by more than 40 points...

It is not that Yi Jianlian has never played with current CBA players and even national team players, but he found that most CBA players are not as good as high school graduates.

This is a big blow to Yi Jianlian. When he met the United States team in the Olympics, he could not withstand the opponent's second-tier NBA star team. He could only rely on Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, and Liu Mang to win. He could accept it, but the National Youth Team had He was already over 20 years old and could not beat American freshmen and high school students. The blow was too great and made Yi Jianlian full of desire for the NBA.

Yi Jianlian also learned that the CBA may not be as good as the college basketball league in the NCAA in the United States.

"Lianmei, you are only 18 years old, how about you play in the NCAA for two years? Then when you are 20 years old, you participate in the draft. I think it will be much more useful than playing in the CBA." Liu Mang suggested.

Liu Mang mentioned this matter, which was quite attractive to Yi Jianlian.

Not only are the opponents stronger, American college basketball has a more scientific training method, more reasonable training, and more complete infrastructure, which cannot be compared with the CBA.

This can be clearly seen from the income. NCAA basketball is more profitable than CBA basketball.

"Boss Ace, I also want to play in the NCAA, but my high school grades..." Yi Jianlian said with some helplessness. There was no comparison between him and Liu Mang. Liu Mang was admitted to Georgia Tech.

Liu Mang thought for a while, and realized that the admissions process of the two universities was relatively loose, and said: "It doesn't matter. Georgetown University and UCLA have special admissions for basketball. Your ability is no problem. You should study English well in the past few months. These things Dayao and I can help you, these two universities are very suitable for you, they have a tradition of centers."

"Really? Thank you so much, Boss Ace!" Yi Jianlian said excitedly.

"But you have to think about it first. If you go to the NCAA, you won't be able to have extra income, and you won't be able to get endorsements from the national team. You also need to terminate the contract with your agent. During college, you can only be an amateur. Players cannot make money from basketball, and your English is a very important issue, so you have to study hard," Liu Mang reminded.

The only thing that makes NCAA players inferior to CBA is that NCAA players have no income.

But for Yi Jianlian, this is not a problem!

He is not in a hurry to make money now. As a member of the national team, he does not need to spend his own money to study abroad. This kind of thing only needs to be taken care of by the United States and applied for. Wei Yuan, who now focuses on the national team and does not pay attention to the CBA at all Li, in order to get a better national team player, this is not a problem.

Once an emperor and a courtier, the current basketball management center pays more attention to political achievements. Although it has hindered the development of basketball across the country, because of Liu Mang's existence, the World Series record is guaranteed. For Yi Jianlian, a talented player, basketball is Life has better opportunities.

"Boss Ace, let me call my parents to discuss it first." Although not making money for two years is not a big deal for Yi Jianlian. He is still young. According to the current domestic situation, 18 years old is still a child, but He didn't respond hurriedly and went to make a phone call. .

Liu Mang nodded. He was just giving a suggestion. As for Yi Jianlian's choice, it was his own business.

Looking at the bun-faced man next to him who was envious of studying in college, Liu Mang thought it was really interesting and joked: "Ying, you haven't finished your secondary school yet? Do you want to continue studying?"

Liu Mang remembered that this steamed stuffed bun girl seemed to have only become popular after 2011 when she acted in a Qiong Yao drama. She didn't even know there was such a person for many years before.

"My family is in a difficult situation and I can't continue studying." The girl with the bun face felt a little depressed.

"It's okay. I'll lend you money. Remember to pay me back when you get rich!" Liu Mang emphasized the word 'borrow'.

"Well……"

The girl with the bun face is a little dizzy, how can a big NBA star be so stingy? Aren’t we supposed to help selflessly when we meet a poor girl who dropped out of school?

But I feel quite comfortable in my heart. I am borrowing money, not giving money. It would feel like I am being given alms, or the other party has some bad intentions. I will always feel uncomfortable, but if I am borrowing...

Are you working for yourself now to provide food and clothing and survive? Or should you use your future money to continue learning, improve yourself, and work hard for a better future?

The bun-faced girl who dropped out of school and worked hard in society for half a year was more decisive than Yi Jianlian and made a decision quickly.

"Ace, lend me money! I...I will definitely pay it back to you in the future! I'll write an IOU!"

"Well……"

Seeing the hopeful expression on Baozi's face, Liu Mang was just joking, but he didn't expect that the other party would respond, and he didn't expect that the other party would be so excited.

But having said this, Liu Mang is not stingy. He can just lend it to a future big star without fear of default.

A person who dropped out of technical secondary school to work and achieved success through hard work could still fail if he had better opportunities.

Consider it an investment!

…

…

Leisure time always passes quickly. After playing in the imperial capital for a few days, Liu Mang boarded a plane to Shanghai to pick up his parents to go to the United States.

Liu Mang's main job these days was to lend a sum of money and ask people from the agency to help the girl with the bun face find a training school to learn English and basic knowledge, and contact preparatory classes at American universities.

There is a difference between universities in the United States and universities in China. Chinese universities are strict in admission and strict in exit, while American universities are strict in admission and strict in exit. University connections with bun-faced students are relatively simple.

Regarding Yi Jianlian's university, Liu Mang called Yao Ming, who was in Los Angeles and had not yet returned to China. Yao Ming was very excited when he heard that Yi Jianlian wanted to play in the NCAA.

Yao Ming, who has played in the United States for three years, knows the NCAA better than Yi Jianlian. It is not at the same level as the CBA. He actively helped Yi Jianlian promote his decision to play in the United States. Yao Ming also helped contact the National Basketball Association.

The owner of the Guangdong team is also a person who loves basketball, which is very different from Aoshen. He heard that Yi Jianlian wanted to study in a higher basketball hall. Although he was reluctant to give up, he gave him support.

Yao Ming took advantage of the fact that he had just joined the Lakers and had not yet renewed his contract, and the whole of Los Angeles was trying to please Yao Ming, so he helped Yi Jianlian contact UCLA and enter UCLA through special sports admissions.

The process was actually relatively troublesome, but that was what Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian were busy with, Liu Mang showed the way, and it was Yi Jianlian's own business to work hard or not.

…

When Liu Mang returned to Jiashan, his parents had already prepared to take care of their pregnant daughter-in-law, and they were even more proactive than Liu Mang.

"Mom, why did you buy so many things?" Looking at the large and small bags piled up in the living room, Liu Mang checked helplessly. There were no liquids, no metal tools, no living things, and no prohibited seeds or melons. Wait...

"Hey, we asked Schwarz a long time ago. We didn't bring anything we shouldn't have brought. These are skin care products for pregnant women and things that the children will use in the future." Liu Mang's mother, Tong Xiaoying, looked at Liu Mang. With that look, he smiled bitterly.

I didn’t realize it when I was buying something, but only after I finished buying did I realize I had bought so much.

Liu Mang's mother herself felt that it was too much, but she bought everything and could throw it away.

After buying everything, Liu Mang didn't say anything, he just checked it to avoid trouble going through customs later.

Fortunately, with the certificates provided by Schwartz, the National Basketball Association, and the NBA, etc., it is not a problem to have a few extra items, and there is no need to worry about being regarded as a smuggler.

Since the family is already prepared, Liu Mang doesn't need to worry too much.

…

On July 26, Liu Mang took his parents and boarded a direct flight from Shanghai to Los Angeles.

San Niu and her bodyguards had already arrived in Los Angeles and were waiting. Liu Mang didn't know that other sports star wives or girlfriends liked to come to Los Angeles to raise their babies when they were pregnant. Anyway, everyone was like that, so he followed suit.

Before returning to China, Liu Mang had made an appointment to train in Los Angeles with James, McGrady, Iguodala, Korver and others on August 1.

But something unexpected happened. The day after arriving in Los Angeles, when McGrady came to Liu Mang's villa in Los Angeles to find Liu Mang, he also brought a very arrogant No. 8 player.

The next chapter is still ten minutes around 7 o'clock, but I just have time to write another short and concise chapter.
