Lian Dao saw a white-skinned middle-aged man extending his right hand to him and shaking hands to express welcome. Lian Dao mechanically grasped the hand extended to him. That was the hand of Tim Freund, who is also the head of Lian Dao University.
Coach of the period basketball team.
"How did I come to USC, wasn't I at home in New York, and how did Tim become so young?"
Lian Dao looked confused, his mind filled with all kinds of small questions.
At this time, Lian Dao did not realize that he would be reborn as a college student. He thought he was sleepwalking back to his alma mater, the University of Southern California.
"Hey, sickle, are you too excited?" Tim guessed with a smile, looking at Lian Dao's dull expression.
Tim had seen too many high school students' expressions of surprise after being admitted to a famous basketball school. He thought Lian Dao's dull expression was due to the excessive surprise after being admitted.
Sickle is the English name Lian Dao gave himself, and it means sickle in Chinese. This is the name Lian Dao gave himself after he first came to the United States to go to school. He really couldn't accept the pronunciation of it when they called his name before.
Lian Dao corrected their pronunciation over and over again, but found that it was of no use. Chinese pronunciation was too convoluted for Americans, so he named himself "sickle" because the Chinese name means "sickle".
It has the same pronunciation as Lian Dao's name.
"I, how can I... yes, I'm a little excited!" Lian Dao was suddenly stuck in his throat when he was halfway through his words. At this time, he realized something was wrong, but he could only answer along the way. He originally wanted to ask Tim how he could
When I came to USC, I found that my voice became much younger and I lost some weight. Well, I felt a little shorter in height.
The skin also turned white!
"Huh? What? Why is my tan gone? It was the result of spending a summer sunbathing on the beach in Miami."
"Huh? No, the focus is a bit off."
"How come I'm at the University of Southern California, and how come I've become younger? Am I reborn? I shouldn't be. I don't meet the conditions for the rebirth army." Lian Dao was startled and started brainstorming in an instant.
, and constantly ask yourself in your mind, searching for the memories in your brain.
Before his rebirth, Lian Dao was already a well-known basketball trainer in the United States and a slightly famous director. It can be said that he was not lacking in money or status at all.
After graduation, through the introduction of friends, Lian Dao worked as a basketball trainer for many NBA stars and was quite famous in the circle. The training plans he formulated were recognized and praised by many NBA stars.
Some NBA teams even offered high prices to invite Lian Dao to be the team's exclusive basketball trainer.
But at that time, Lian Dao felt that becoming the team's exclusive trainer was very restrictive and free, so he declined the invitation.
This is also directly related to Lian Dao's considerable income at that time. When he had both freedom and money, Lian Dao would not give up freedom for more money.
In fact, he is lazy.
Moreover, the script "Dark Night" he wrote was spotted by a Hollywood director and made into a movie. It swept the global box office in 2022 and was sought after by the media as a "genius screenwriter".
The reason I showed up in Harlem before was to avoid the media, and also to visit my master in Chinatown, New York, but I didn’t expect...
It can be said that before Lian Dao was reborn, he had a house, a car, savings and fame, but the key was his handsome appearance. This was a typical example of a rich and handsome man.
And his parents are still alive. They came to New York in 1998 and founded a company in New York. Later, they moved to San Francisco and Silicon Valley due to the transformation. In 2007, his father Lian Guochang saw the rapid development in the country, so he discussed with his mother Zhao Ruoyun, and the two chose to
The company's headquarters moved back to China and developed domestically.
Then, he left Lian Dao alone in the United States, in the name of cultivating his son's independence.
Haha, the key is that I actually believed it at the time!
Before his rebirth, his father Lian Guochang wanted him to return to China to inherit the family business, but Lian Dao's stubborn character never agreed. For this reason, the father and son had several quarrels. Until his rebirth, there was very little communication between the father and son.
I guess my parents didn’t expect it either. They originally planned to release the animals, but they accidentally turned out to be free!
Mother Zhao Ruoyun was in a dilemma between father and son. In fact, Lian Dao knew that her mother had always wanted her to return to China. How could a mother not miss her son? But before she was reborn, she had never thought about the problem from her parents' point of view.
Now that I think about my previous persistence, it is still very correct...
Otherwise, I would not have become a basketball trainer, nor would I have become a talented screenwriter, nor would I have woken up and appeared in the training gym of the USC basketball team.
"Sickle, what's wrong with you?" The coach asked with concern when he saw Lian Dao's expression was strange.
"Um, it's okay coach, I'm just excited to play in the NCAA soon." Lian Dao waved his hands immediately, with a very excited and excited expression on his face. The change of expression on his face is worthy of being a top student at the Academy of Film and Television Arts. Good job.
All the stars in the movie theater will be amazed when they see it.
"Okay, young man, you should be excited, but don't forget the meeting in the morning the day after tomorrow. Remember, I don't like guys who are not punctual." Although Tim felt that Lian Dao just now was a little unusual, he didn't think about it.
Too many people just thought that Lian Dao was as excited as other rookie players to come to the college basketball league.
"Okay coach, I will arrive on time," Lian Dao assured Tim.
After bidding farewell to coach Tim, Lian Dao came to the school dormitory based on his own memories.
I arrived in front of the dormitory door in a daze, but the dormitory door was closed, and I suddenly realized that I didn't know where to put the keys. In my memory, I was used to putting keys and other things in my jacket pocket.
He quickly put his hand into his coat pocket. The cold touch and familiar outline were the dormitory keys.
Well, good living habits will prevent you from being turned away.
Opening the door, this is a dormitory with two bedrooms and one living room. The roommate is DeMar DeRozan, another talented guard that Coach Tim mentioned.
However, he has not reported to school yet and should wait until later.
Because DeRozan suffers from mild depression, he seems to have a dull personality and does not communicate with others very much. But the way he plays on the court makes it difficult for people to connect with this quiet big boy off the court. DeRozan has always regarded Kobe Bryant
As an idol, his playing style is very similar to Kobe's. He has an excellent mid-range shot and likes to face difficulties.
Although he has a dull personality, when you really get to know this big boy, you will find that although this big boy looks cold on the outside, he is hot on the inside; he just lacks a fire to melt his cold shell.
Later, Lowry of the Men's Dragons was the fire, and "trash brothers" were what the fans called them, but DeRozan had the biggest smile on his face during that time.
DeRozan is a person who values loyalty very seriously. He has stayed with Toronto for ten years, but he just didn't expect the team to use his loyalty as a bargaining chip in the transaction.
After entering the room, I quickly went to the toilet and flushed my face.
Unfortunately, Lian Dao did not return to his mansion in New York after washing his face.
After washing his face, Lian Dao looked at himself in the mirror and found that apart from his fairer skin, he was still handsome, but a little less mature.
Although it is still sharp and sharp, it reveals the tenderness of youth. Lian Dao supported the edge of the sink with his hands and looked at himself in the mirror.
"Kacha"
The sound of the key opening the door interrupted Lian Dao's self-appreciation.
Lian Dao turned around and went out. DeRozan opened the door and dragged the box to the dormitory.
"Hey, it's you, Sickle, why are you here? You also chose USC?" DeRozan was a little surprised to see Lian Dao, which made him seem a bit talkative despite his relatively silent personality.
"Yes, Deebo, we meet again, and we will be teammates from now on!" Lian Dao held DeRozan's outstretched hand, and the two bumped shoulders in tacit understanding.
Lian Daoshi met DeRozan in high school, when DeRozan was studying at Compton High School. Even though he was not a big muscle tyrant in the NBA later, during his high school days, DeRozan was
He is considered a big guy among high school students.
As a senior in high school, DeRozan averaged 29.2 points, 7.9 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 3 steals per game, and won the Moore League MVP and McDonald's Dunk Champion. He is quite famous among American high school students.
Since Compton High School and Lian Dao's Whitney High School belong to the same state of California, the two teams often play against each other, but Lian Dao's Whitney High School basically loses more and wins less.
At the same time, Lian Dao's three-pointer also left a profound impact on DeRozan.
