Chapter 28: I came to your city
After Jiang Yuntao said that, he walked out of the arena alone, leaving Texas teammates and coaches staying in place with shock.
A tall black figure stood up and followed out.
"Oh, I'll go, I'm scared." Jiang Yuntao was about to go out to find Xiao Li for a midnight snack. When he turned around, he saw a dark figure, only his teeth and two eyes were white. He was so scared that his heart almost jumped out and he quickly patted his chest.
"Jiang, I just want to say to you. Thank you very much today. I respect your choice. I hope I will see you when I go to the NBA next season." The scary black man behind him was Bamba. The black man is quite straightforward and said something directly.
"It's definitely possible. You'd better be the No. 1 pick, otherwise it would be boring to beat you."
"I enjoy being a teammate with you very much, brother." As the boss of the team, Bamba naturally knows who is the biggest contributor to this game tonight, and also knows how much role Jiang Yuntao can play on the court, especially for an inside player like him, so he is a little reluctant to let it go, but if your brother can go to the NBA team for a trial, that may be one of the few opportunities in life for Chinese people, so he chose to be tolerant.
In his opinion, Jiang Yuntao was not a deserter at all, but a charge warrior who challenged higher places!
"I apologize for my previous behavior. The Chinese are really a bunker." Bamba tilted her head and smiled awkwardly.
"Don't say so gay, although I think you are good." Jiang Yuntao's words made Bamba stand in place without moving. For a moment, he felt that the leader of the yellow man in front of him was very strong.
Perhaps, he is more suitable to be the boss of this team? Unfortunately, he didn't have the chance to see him wearing a Texas basketball uniform anymore.
...
"Hey, Xiao Li, go out to eat fruit salad, then stop sleeping, go directly to the airport."
"...Brother, don't you know how dangerous the United States is at night?" Xiao Li, who was playing 2K in the hotel, complained.
"I'm 1.9 meters!"
After having a midnight snack with Xiao Li, Jiang Yuntao simply went back to the team's collective hotel to pack his luggage, and did not say goodbye to anyone. He walked out of the hotel alone and took a taxi to the airport with Xiao Li, who could hardly open his eyes.
Xiao Li's plane flew to Austin: "It's just 100 kilometers apart, I'm going to change another flight..."
Half an hour later, Jiang Yuntao's flight to the Holy City had already taken off. Through the window, he saw the stars in the sky full of the night sky, one person and one backpack, heading to a strange city to work hard for his future.
The road to dreams is destined to be lonely. Jiang Yuntao put on his headphones and fell asleep deeply.
…………
March 11.
University of Texas at Austin.
Department of Painting Arts.
A short-haired girl dragging her big suitcase went to the International Student Affairs Office to report that she was from China and had just gotten off from China's red-eye flight.
Her eyes were pure, and her round thin-edged glasses were held on her delicate face. She stopped when she passed by the Texas Basketball Arena, and saw the poster of the Texas Longhorns in the gate of the stadium, and also saw his photos.
"I came to your city and walked the way you came. We seemed to have become alumni." Her face showed dimples and she thought excitedly.
This short-haired beauty is Li Zixuan. She applied for a two-year exchange student at the University of Texas in the United States last month. Her university major was Guzheng, but that was something her mother forced her to learn, including applying to the Imperial Capital Conservatory of Music to continue studying folk music. That was not what she wanted to do, and she didn't want to be the president of the Student Union.
So after seeing Jiang Yuntao a month ago, she was preparing to secretly apply for a two-year exchange student quota at the University of Texas in the United States. Half a month ago, after seeing Jiang Yuntao's news on Hupu, she became more determined to do what she wanted. With a hint of admiration or affection for Jiang Yuntao, she chose the University of Texas. When her mother found out, she had already boarded the plane.
"Mom, in this life, we should pursue something we like. I want to learn painting, don't worry, I have my friends there."
She came to the long-standing University of Texas at Austin to study painting. She is a girl who likes to draw. The University of Texas is full of places where she can sketch, but she cares about such a person at the first time.
She used her English major level 8 to hold a curly hair girl and asked: "Hello, is there a Chinese student in your school named Jiang Yuntao? Do you know where he usually lives?"
"Oh, China Jiang! He lives in the dormitory of the boys of international students. He is an important member of our school's basketball team!" The curly-haired girl obviously knew Jiang Yuntao when she heard Jiang Yuntao and replied enthusiastically.
"Well, thank you!!" Li Zixuan couldn't help but jump happily. This was her idol.
"But you can't find him now. The team played in Los Angeles last night and probably hasn't come back yet."
"Ah, okay." Li Zixuan had no time to understand the game because she had been on the plane for 13 hours, and she didn't know that Jiang Yuntao's own basketball path had also undergone major changes.
"Are Asian girls so cute? Are you Chinese too?"
"Yes, I'll report it." Li Zixuan pushed her suitcase to the apartment to report, breathed in the wild cold wind of Texas, and felt the smell of freedom.
"So you live in such an environment. Even if we haven't met each other, I don't regret the decision I made."
...
San Antonio.
A Chinese man wearing a white slimming windbreaker and beats headset walked off the plane and took a deep breath to relieve his fatigue.
Jiang Yuntao stepped into the Holy City for the first time! Although it is only more than 140 kilometers away from the Austin campus where he is located, he is not here to pilgrimage, he is here to pursue his dreams!
"Driver, go to the Spurs training hall." When he got into a taxi, Jiang Yuntao rushed to the Spurs training hall and called Uduka.
"I'm going, so early?" Uduka was on a flight 3 hours earlier than Jiang Yuntao and was about to go home to have a sleep, but he didn't expect Jiang Yuntao to arrive.
"Then I'm late?"
"It's okay, I'll come here right away. If you arrive early, you can go in directly. The training hall will open at 8 o'clock."
"Okay." Jiang Yuntao hung up the phone and admired the scenery of the holy city along the way like a devout believer.
This city is so historical. Along the way, there are priest mansions built by the Spanish in the 18th century. The sense of ritual comes naturally. The legendary "San Antonio River" is gurgling. A car that speeds along the riverside road can see that the riverside is a long-distance pedestrian street. Museums, restaurants and other buildings are distributed beside the river. The unique ethnic style of the Mexicans can be seen everywhere.
