In the youth basketball training base, Zhi Xin and Da Dong were working hard to train themselves. They had been at the training base for more than ten days, and they were a little stronger than the last time they came. On October 15th, the two of them began to train themselves after the cultural class as usual. However, after the training ended, Wang Zhe invited the two of them over.
After the training ended, the two of them arrived at Wang Zhe's office early to wait.
" Brother, why do you think Coach Wang called us here?" Dadong Chen asked in confusion.
" I don't know. Maybe it's something in the team," Zhi Xin replied.
" Hey, isn't the person on the table Shao Jian?" Dadong asked as he flipped through the information on the table.
" It's not good for Dadong to peek at other people's information. Will Assistant Coach Wang be angry if he finds out?" Although he had doubts, Zhi Xin still pointed out Dadong's rude behavior.
" Brother, I know. I won't do it again," Dadong said.
" You two are here. I have something to tell you," Wang Zhe said.
" Ring, ring." Wang Zhe was about to say something when his phone rang.
" Wait a minute, I have to take a call first," Wang Zhe said helplessly.
"Wang Zhe, there's been a video recently (the video of Zhou Shaojian and that black man's duel, it's been very popular recently). Have you seen it?" A serious voice said on the other end of the phone.
" Yes," Wang Zhe replied.
" The International College Basketball Tournament will start soon. I would like to trouble you to find the person in the video. With him around, our performance this year will definitely be quite good," the person with a more serious voice said.
" Okay, I understand. I'll go tomorrow," Wang Zhe replied.
" Sorry to trouble you. We've investigated and found out that he's currently at Hangzhou's Zhejiang Arts and Media College," the person on the other end of the phone said.
"Zhixin Dadong wants to tell you that in five days, our three selection bases will conduct an assessment. From each base (the three national youth basketball training bases are in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangdong), five people will be selected to form the World Youth Basketball Competition on December 1st. I hope the two of you will work hard to understand. I believe that you will have no problem," Wang Zhe said after returning.
" Okay, we understand. We will work hard," Zhi Xin and Da Dong replied.
" I'm going out to look for someone tomorrow. Call me if anything happens," Wang Zhe said.
" Who did the good coach ask you to find this time?" Zhi Xin and Da Dong asked.
" Didn't you guys watch a video of a basketball match? This video has been trending online recently," Wang Zhe said.
" No," Zhi Xin and Dadong replied.
When they returned to the dormitory at night, Dadong and Zhixin called to search for the most popular basketball video that Wang Zhe had mentioned. A video popped up on the search interface. In the video, an Asian man and a black man were having a basketball match. Soon, the two of them recognized the Asian man in the video as Zhou Shaojian.
" I didn't expect it to be Shao Jian. It seems that the coach will be looking for him tomorrow. Brother, maybe we can join forces to participate in the Olympic Games in the future," Dadong said.
Dadong was right, but what he didn't expect was that a few years later, he, Zhixin, and Shao Jian would not only team up on the national team, but also dominate the Olympics. Many years later, the three of them would become legendary figures in the history of basketball in China.
As for Shao Jian, he was about to go to class as usual today when the teacher called to inform him that the dean wanted to see him.
" Okay, I got it," Zhou Shaojian said after hanging up.
" What happened to Shao Jian?" Zhou Lindong asked.
" It's nothing. The teacher said that the dean is looking for me. He probably has something to do with me. Lin Dong, help me tell him that I might be late," Zhou Shaojian replied.
" Alright, I got it," Zhou Lin Dong replied.
The teacher was taking attendance in class.
" Zhou Shaojian." The teacher called out Zhou Shaojian's name.
" Teacher has been called to the dean's office. He'll be a little late," said Zhou Lindong, who had saved Zhou Shaojian a seat.
" I say, Dongdong, why was Shao Jian suddenly called by the dean?" Xu Ruolin, who was sitting in the front row, asked curiously.
" I'm not sure either," Zhou Lindong said. Many people in the class were also very puzzled as to why Zhou Shaojian was called by the dean.
In the dean's office, Zhou Shaojian knocked on the door and walked in after receiving permission.
" Hello, Director. What can I do for you?" Zhou Shaojian asked a chubby and easy-going man.
" Student Shao Jian, it's the person next to me. He's from the national basketball team," the dean said. The person standing was wearing a white short shirt. He looked very tall and looked very energetic.
"Hello, Shao Jian. My name is Wang Zhe. I'm from the National Youth Selection Team. I'm here to invite you to join our country's university basketball team to represent our country in the International University Basketball Tournament that will be held from December 1st to December 18th."(The dean was very excited when he heard this.)
" Of course I'm very honored to be able to represent the country in the competition, but I don't know why they suddenly came to me. After all, I haven't had any experience in the competition before," Zhou Shaojian replied calmly.
" It's also a coincidence this time, because the basketball match between you and a black man attracted us," Wang Zhe said.
"I'm really honored to be selected for the national team, but if I want to go to the competition, I have to take leave first," Zhou Shaojian said. I didn't expect that fight with the black man to make me famous.
" Student Shao Jian, I approve," the dean said.
" Thank you, Director," Zhou Shaojian said after bowing.
" Remember to report to the base in Beijing in ten days. We'll have to undergo a month of special training for the selected members," Wang Zhe said.
" Okay, I understand, Director. I hope you can approve of my special training leave," Zhou Shaojian said to the Director beside him.
" Shao Jian, it's our school's honor for you to represent the country in the competition. I'll approve it," the dean said.
" Thank you, Dean. I'll go back to class now," Zhou Shaojian said.
" Dean, I'm leaving too. Sorry for disturbing you today," Wang Zhe said.
Shao Jian and Wang Zhe walked side by side out of the director's office.
"Excuse me, how is Zhixin and Dadong's training base now?"
"You know them?"
"Yeah, we grew up together."
" They are doing very well at the two training bases. I didn't say anything in the dean's office just now. I wanted to ask if you agree to join the national team. If you agree, I will report it to you when I get back today," Wang Zhe said.
"The national team? "Do you want me to register for the national team?" Zhou Shaojian asked.
" That's right," Wang Zhe replied.
" You can join, but there's a condition that won't be too excessive," Zhou Shaojian said.
" Tell me," Wang Zhe said.
" It's very simple. In the next two years, if I can, I will choose to go abroad for further studies. I hope the country's leaders will agree. When the country has a competition, I will definitely go. Also, my studies. I hope that I can finish my studies in my current school," Zhou Shaojian said.
" I still have to communicate with them about this. If they agree, I will inform you immediately. This is my mobile number." Wang Zhe gave his mobile number to Zhou Shaojian.
Back in the classroom, Zhou Shaojian went to the seat reserved by Zhou Lindong and sat down.
" Shao Jian, what's the matter?" Lin Dong asked.
" It's just a small matter," Zhou Shaojian said. After seeing Zhou Shaojian's indifferent expression, Zhou Lindong did not continue to ask.
After class, the students who had a good relationship with Zhou Shaojian came to ask about the matter of being called to the office by the dean. However, Zhou Shaojian rejected them with the excuse that it was a small matter.
"Ah Jian, did your dean take a fancy to you, so you were called to do that?" Yu Ze's words caused some people around him and Zhou Shaojian to roll their eyes. Yu Ze, you really need a beating.
" It's just a small matter," Zhou Shaojian said.
After lunch, she returned to her dormitory.
" Why did Director Shao Jian ask you to go?" Zhang Mengling left a message on WeChat.
" It's really just a small matter," Zhou Shaojian replied.
" You don't want to tell me?" Zhang Mengling sent a doodle emoji.
" Not really. It's just that if I tell you about this, you'll say that I'm bragging. I'll tell you this. I hope you can help me keep this secret first," Zhou Shaojian said.
"Really?" Zhang Mengling asked in surprise.
" It's true, so please don't tell anyone," Zhou Shaojian said.
" Yes," Zhang Mengling replied. Sure enough, Brother Jian, you can't resist a beauty.
The next day, before the teacher started class, the form teacher came to the classroom and said that he had something to announce.
"Today, I have an announcement to make. Student Zhou Shaojian will not be able to attend classes with me in 10 days until December 19th."
" It can't be. Is Brother Jian sick?" Some people who were closer to Shao Jian asked.
" No way, is Prince Charming Shaojian going to have surgery?" Some girls who liked Zhou Shaojian asked curiously.
" Let me finish first. From next week onwards, Zhou Shaojian will be nominated for the National Youth Basketball Team and will represent the country in this year's International University Basketball Tournament. He will be reporting to the national base for special training next week, so he will be separated from us for a period of time," the form teacher said.
" Brother Jian, you're good. You're our pride!" Zhang Zitao cheered.
" Good job, Prince Charming Shao Jian!" Many girls shouted.
Some students cheered in the class.
" Students, how about we treat Brother Jian to a meal tonight to celebrate?" Shi Yuce suggested.
"Alright," many people replied.
In the evening, some of the students in the class chose a relatively large restaurant near the school to celebrate Zhou Shaojian's selection. At the dining table, Zhou Shaojian, Zhou Lindong, Xu Ruolin, Zhang Mengling, Xu Xiaohong, Shi Yuze, Zhang Zitao, Zhang Ruocheng, Zheng Xiuna, Wei Lingyan, Yu Ze, and Zhou Lingwen sat at a table.
" Brother Jian, let me toast you." The students from the other three tables came over to propose a toast.
" Thank you, everyone," Zhou Shaojian said after finishing his glass.
" Zhang Mengling, let me toast you with this glass of wine," said a slightly drunk and vulgar person in the class after three rounds of drinking.
" Sorry, I don't know how to drink," Zhang Mengling said politely. From her expression, Zhang Mengling looked a little embarrassed.
"Then give me face and have a drink," the man said with some difficulty.
" I…" Zhang Mengling didn't know what to say.
" If you don't drink it, you're not giving me face," the man said with some difficulty.
Zhang Mengling picked up a glass and poured some wine into it.
"You're allergic to alcohol. Don't drink it. I'll help you." Zhou Shaojian took the cup from Zhang Mengling's hand.
" Come, I'll drink this cup for Yang Yao." Zhou Shaojian picked up Zhang Mengling's cup and drank it in one gulp. Brother Jian, you're indirectly kissing me!
"Zhou Shaojian, who the f * ck do you think you are? I let Zhang Mengling drink, what right do you have?" Yang Yao, who was a little drunk, said unhappily (Brother Jian: You want to touch my future girlfriend?
"Who do you think I am? Who do you think you are? You're the one in the class who doesn't deserve to toast."(Yang Yao was one of the less popular people in the class. He liked to secretly take photos of girls behind their backs. He didn't pay attention to hygiene and had some bad habits. Not many people in the class liked him.)
" What did you say? If you're a man, fight me one-on-one?" Yang Yao was so angry that he wanted to fight.
"I'm afraid of dirtying my hands if I hit you."(Fortunately, Yang Yao was still pulled away in the end. It was too easy for Zhou Shaojian to deal with Yang Yao.)
After the small episode, the students returned to their dorms after paying the bill.
" Who's the Asian man in the video? He seems to be a good seedling. If possible, we should try to poach him and train him. You can better observe the International College Basketball Competition this time," some leaders of famous foreign universities said to their basketball team coaches.
