Rekindling the dream of becoming a star

Chapter 120 Metdeyi High School
"What are you doing?" Zeng Fanri asked Zhao Rui.

Zhao Rui was watching Chen Fang play and learning, but his learning was very abstract and looked laughable.

"Stop making noise, learn it too!" Zhao Rui ordered.

A strong person will encourage others to learn from him consciously. Now Chen Fang's morning punches, double exercises, and single-leg push-ups have become the main events of the national youth team.

Chen Fang did not hide anything. If you asked, he would answer and explain the advantages of the three points very clearly.

Unnoticed, the training quality of the national youth team has improved. Fan Bin noticed all of this and submitted an application to the bureau. Two days later, the team had two more trainers. Although they were both recent graduates of Beijing Sport University, it was better than having nothing.

In May, the weather in Beijing was already slightly warm. After finishing his personal training, Chen Fang walked outside the gym to get some fresh air, but saw a familiar person walking towards him.

Shan Shaoxiong, head coach of BJ No. 4 Middle School.

"Do you still recognize me?" Shan Shaoxiong asked.

"Hello, Coach Shan." Chen Fang greeted him respectfully.

"Not bad, you're so strong now, and it's only been a few months." Shan Shaoxiong circled around Chen Fang and praised.

"Coach Fan is inside." Chen Fang felt a little uncomfortable and quickly pointed to the gym.

"I'm here to find you, not him," Shan Shaoxiong said.

"Uh, looking for me?" Chen Fang was surprised.

"Come, let's find a place." Without further ado, Shan Shaoxiong pulled Chen Fang away.

A few minutes later, Chen Fang shook his head speechlessly: "Coach Wang, I rejected your idea last time. I will not transfer schools."

"Don't worry. Last time I was just daydreaming, but this time, I have the capital to trade." Shan Shaoxiong said slowly with a smile.

The two of them sat in a pavilion. There was no one around, which was a good place to talk.

"Then you say." Seeing this, Chen Fang knew that if he didn't talk it out today, there might be a next time.

"You transferred to No. 4 Middle School in your senior year. You can play in the national competition if you want to. It doesn't matter if you don't want to."

"Then what do you want, coach?" It was Chen Fang's turn to be confused.

"You may not believe it, but if you ask, I'll tell you." Shan Shaoxiong straightened his shirt and said, "With your level, it will be helpful to us even if we play a team training match."

"And there is still a slight chance that we can beat Tsinghua High School in various competitions."

"Finally, it also serves an advertising purpose. Perhaps this is the biggest prize." After saying this, Shan Shaoxiong became proud of himself.

"What's the prize?" Chen Fang was really confused.

"The possibilities are endless. Maybe you'll become a national team player or get another title. Whenever the media mentions you, they'll mention No. 4 Middle School."

Chen Fang finally understood, but he was still very curious: "But coach, I still don't see the capital you mentioned."

"BJ No. 4 Middle School has a place in the United States."

Just this sentence made Chen Fang stunned. Shan Shaoxiong, who had been paying attention to Chen Fang's expression, understood that he had found the key to open the door.

"So what?" Chen Fang asked patiently.

"Do you want it?" Shan Shaoxiong asked deliberately.

Chen Fang had calmed down at this moment. He realized that this old man was very mean and actually kept him in suspense.

"Not just any high school in the United States, that's what I was thinking."

"BJ No. 4 High School is one of the best high schools in the country. How could it possibly cooperate with any random American guy?"

Seeing Chen Fang was very calm, Shan Shaoxiong became anxious instead. He directly threw out his trump card: "Mettedei High School, the number one sports and arts high school in California."

"Have you heard of it?"

Chen Fangxin was startled. California? Number one? A sports high school?
Each of these three keywords made him salivate.

But he still held back. Chen Fang shook his head: "I know nothing about American high schools."

"But you really want to go, right?" Shan Shaoxiong asked.

"Yes, this is my hope, but it may require greater effort." Chen Fang answered calmly.

"Then now is your chance. As long as you transfer to BJ No. 4 Middle School next semester, which is your senior year, I will give you the place to study in the United States."

"I don't quite understand, Coach Wang. There are so many outstanding players in BJ No. 4 Middle School, and they are all your disciples. Why don't you give it to them?" Chen Fang asked.

Shan Shaoxiong laughed and shook his head, and replied in a calmer tone: "They can't do it."

"The standard of the scholarship offered by Met Dei High School is something they cannot achieve."

"The basic tuition fee of 40 RMB per year plus other fees means you have to pay or RMB. This may not be a big deal in Beijing, but it is much more difficult for those who study sports."

"Also, the standards of Metdeyi High School are very high. If you go there based on academic performance, only a very small number of people can possibly reach this standard."

"The same goes for sports. I looked around and there's no one who's a good candidate. Besides, I know my students well enough to know that they lack the courage to go to the United States."

Chen Fang listened quietly, and he realized that this was indeed an opportunity.

As a person who can be the core of the national youth team and will definitely be able to join the national team in the future, if Chen Fang does not have the ability to win this scholarship, then he should just forget about it.

Even if he can't get it, he can still afford the tuition.

With Wei Lan's current ability to attract money, it is more than enough.

"Okay, I promise. After I finish the World Youth Championship, I will apply for transfer." Chen Fang made up his mind.

"You don't need to trouble yourself. Just tell your family about me. You don't need to worry about transferring schools." Shan Shaoxiong was overjoyed.

“When can I go to the United States?”

"It's best to do it before October." Shan Shaoxiong said, and then he explained: "The US high school league basically starts in mid-October. In early October, each US high school starts to screen players and register."

"I understand." Chen Fang thought about it silently.

"The American High School League basically ends in March of the second year, while the National High School League has its final round in May."

Chen Fang finally understood the old man's operation.

"Then I wish the coach to advance to the finals." Chen Fang stretched out his hand.

"It's so easy." Shan Shaoxiong also stretched out his hand, and the two shook hands together, which meant that the contract was successful.

"I need to tell the head coach about this."

"I'll go talk to him later." Shan Shaoxiong waved his hand confidently: "There should be a day off these few days. Then, come to No. 4 Middle School to play."

"Okay." Now Chen Fang couldn't refuse.

"I should go back to training." Chen Fang stood up.

Seeing Chen Fang's departing back, Shan Shaoxiong hummed a tune.

The number one high school student in the country, captured!

Classmate Zhang, what do you have to fight me, hahaha!

The triumphant Shan Shaoxiong immediately went to find Fan Bin.

Not long after, in Fan Bin's office, Fan Bin looked at the two bottles of 05 Moutai on the table and fell into deep thought.

"By the way, where did you get such good wine?"

"Oh, it was given to me by someone else, why are you asking so many questions!" Shan Shaoxiong was impatient.

"I don't dare to drink. Tell me, what do you want to do?" Fan Bin was very alert.

"What can happen to me? I'm here to share my happiness!" Shan Shaoxiong was so happy that the fat on his face was shaking.

"Chen Fang agreed to transfer to another school!"

Fan Bin was stunned for a moment, then he understood.

"What did you use to seduce me?"

"Temptation? That's a harsh word. This is called attraction!" Shan Shaoxiong chuckled, "A place to study in the United States!"

"Mettedei High School!"

Fan Bin immediately understood and realized that only by going to the United States could he attract Chen Fang.

"Congratulations, but he's already gone to America, what can you get?"

"No need. It's my duty to contribute resources to the country's talents!" Shan Shaoxiong would never easily reveal his little calculations.

"Okay, then why did you give me wine? Do you need me for anything else?"

"I'm coming to see you, can't I be more decent?"

Fan Bin laughed and shook his head: "Big Bear, Big Bear, just tell me straight, don't beat around the bush."

Shan Shaoxiong was unmoved: "I'm just giving it to you to drink. I'm leaving now."

After saying that, he went out quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the sound of his footsteps could no longer be heard.

Fan Bin put the wine away. He didn't mind this and he didn't do anything against his principles, so he was not afraid.

However, the news brought by Big Bear still made him feel a little emotional.

Chen Fang, you want to go to America so much.

In other words, he might leave after the World Youth Championship. From the time he met Chen Fang to now, Fan Bin had witnessed his rapid growth, especially this time, he even began to change his previous tactical thinking.

Others dare to gamble, so does he.

You must never let others look down on you.

In this World Youth Championship, with Chen Fang, he is not afraid of anyone.

※※※

Chen Fang held Zhao Rui and reached into his arms, and immediately cut off Zhao Rui's ball. After holding the ball, Chen Fang carried it forward and passed it to Sun Minghui, who scored two points with a one-handed slam dunk.

"How many have you picked today?" Fan Bin asked the teaching assistant.

"It's the seventh one!" the assistant coach couldn't bear to say.

Today, Chen Fang was omnipotent on the defensive end, and the previous defensive black hole was completely gone.

He fully utilized the advantage of his arm span, and anyone who dared to match up with him or dribble with him would be mercilessly beaten by him.

Zhao Rui just refused to accept the defeat. This was the third time he was cut off. Even though he turned sideways with his legs spread out and tried to dribble the ball as low as possible, he was still caught by Chen Fang.

The more Fan Bin watches, the more he likes him. What kind of players does the coach like the most?

When you make a request to him, he will correct it immediately and turn his weakness into strengths.

Four months ago, Fan Bin's advice to Chen Fang was to improve his defense. Four months later, Chen Fang gave him the strongest arc-top iron gate.

A training match allowed Fan Bin to see Chen Fang's strengths at the top of the arc and on the wing.

Chen Fang can rotate between the wing and the top of the arc in an instant, which means that he now has the ability of a perimeter defender.

Only those who are good at attacking and defending can be called great generals.

The core is still an organizer.

This kid has a bright future, the only thing that can hold him back is injury.

Thinking of this, Fan Bin's heart skipped a beat and he immediately replaced Chen Fang.

When Chen Fang came off the court, Fan Bin seemed to hear the whole team breathing a sigh of relief. The pressure he exerted on the court was really too great.

Chen Fang sat down to drink water, and Fan Bin asked, "How do you feel?"

"No breathing." This has become Chen Fang's standard answer.

"Rest now. Coach Dan from BJ No. 4 Middle School will be here this afternoon. You can take his car to No. 4 Middle School."

"Yeah." This meant the coach knew about his transfer.

After a training match, Chen Fang deliberately approached Zhao Rui, who had a sullen face, and laughed without saying a word.

Zhao Rui snorted and wiped the sweat off his face.

Zeng Fanri was considerate, and he scolded Chen Fang as soon as he came down: "You are too bullying, relying on your long arms."

He was cut by Chen Fang and had two of his hats eaten, which really made him lose face.

Chen Fang didn't refute, just laughed.

Seeing his guilty attitude, the two of them couldn't really get angry, so Zeng Fanri said, "You'll have to treat us this afternoon."

"Next time." Chen Fang said.

"Next time again! You guy." Zeng was immediately dissatisfied.

"I have to go to No. 4 Middle School in the afternoon and don't have time to treat you." Chen Fang immediately complained.

"What are you going to do at No. 4 Middle School?" Zhao Rui was surprised.

"I transferred to another school and am now a student of No. 4 Middle School." Shan Shaoxiong's execution ability is impeccable. In less than a week, he transferred his student status to No. 4 Middle School.

My parents are very happy. With such a good school, admission to Tsinghua University or Peking University is no longer a dream.

Chen Fang also expected that although he felt reluctant to let go of Dongsheng, people always look forward. He had already persisted once. If the school had not hurt his feelings, this decision would probably be difficult to make.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Chen got off the car in front of the No. 4 Middle School gymnasium.

"I'll park the car first." Shan Shaoxiong said.

Chen Fang stood at the door waiting. The campus was full of students, laughing and talking happily. Everyone looked carefree.

Shan Shaoxiong had already arrived, so Chen Fang asked the question in his mind: "Why do the students in No. 4 Middle School seem to have no pressure?"

"Why should there be pressure?" Shan Shaoxiong smiled.

"Let me tell you about our No. 4 Middle School."

"First of all, except for senior year, we only have seven classes a day, actually only five classes, because there is a physical education class every day, as well as music, art, general technology, information technology, and elective courses."

"Ah!" Chen Fang was shocked. This really refreshed his cognition.

"Only five regular classes a day?" He didn't even dare to think about it.

"Yes, No. 4 Middle School puts morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor on the same level and strictly abides by it."

"Then what about studying?" Chen Fang didn't understand, because it was clearly said that No. 4 Middle School was a preparatory school for Tsinghua University and Peking University.

"Learning is very simple. You will understand when you come to class in the future." Seeing that Chen Fang didn't believe him, Shan Shaoxiong had to elaborate: "Our teachers are really good. They will impart real knowledge points to students. In fact, many knowledge points are completely useless and will not be tested in the college entrance examination."

Chen Fang understood. This was the result of predicting the topic with absolute accuracy.

"What's more, our No. 4 Middle School selects outstanding students from the whole city, so we hope that students will be more outstanding in other aspects and develop comprehensive abilities."

Chen Fang finally understood that such a school must be strong.

After a few minutes, the two walked into the stadium one after the other.

In the gym, more than 30 teenagers were training in different areas according to an orderly manner. When they saw the coach coming, they stopped immediately.

Then everyone looked curiously at Chen Fang who was standing next to them.

His tall and slender figure caused whispers.

"Coach, are you new here?" someone asked boldly.

Shan Shaoxiong snorted. Since entering the gym, his face has changed. He no longer looks playful, but instead looks like a majestic and ferocious bear.

"This is Chen Fang from the National Youth Team. I invited him here to show you what professional strength is."

"Don't think you are so great just because you won the Kyoto High School League championship! I think you have been getting too proud recently." Shan Shaoxiong criticized harshly.

Many team members held their heads high in defiance. They were indeed arrogant and brave soldiers, very aggressive.

Shaoxiong put the blanket on the fire to roast. Chen Fang also had a blank expression on his face. He stood with his hands behind his back and his eyelids drooped, as if he was in a trance.

This American cheese is so delicious, and it’s only right to do something for it.

"Yu Yue, Wang Tong, Zhu Mingzhen, Xu Yuan, Meng Jingqi. The five of you go warm up and get ready." After instructing his disciples, Shan Shaoxiong turned to Chen Fang and said, "Teach them a lesson one by one, and let them know what basketball is."

"Whatever you say." Chen Fang sighed. He was destined to be used as a gun today.

Then don't blame me for being ruthless.

People are like this, once they have abilities and know it, their minds and demeanor will change.

Deep down, Chen Fang is proud, yet also vulnerable. Carrying with him the sorrows of his past life, the reborn Chen Fang subconsciously hides these deep within, not daring to reveal them.

But the experience of the past six months has gradually made my pride show.

But he completely returned to his rightful position when he returned to the National Youth Team this time.

He killed the entire team without leaving a single soldier behind. The sweat dripping down his body made him realize that he had mastered both his inner and outer cultivation.

He finally gained strong self-confidence.

It can be said that the current Chen Fang can be described as a young man who relies on his toughness, looks around with pride and looks down on you as nothing.

To put it bluntly, Chen Fang now seems to be looking down on people.

Hearing that it was Chen Fang, many people were excited, but they didn't dare to step forward. They just stared at Chen Fang angrily.

The five people named are the best five forwards and guards in the team. In the eyes of these teenagers, they are the kings.

But the legendary Chen Fang made everyone nervous again.

In this atmosphere, Shan Shaoxiong's words intensified the emotions of the players present.

"Close the door. Don't tell anyone about what happened today."

The door closed and everything became quiet, except for the sound of the five people warming up.

"Aren't you going to warm up?" Shan Shaoxiong asked with a smile.

"I don't think that's necessary." Chen Fang retorted indifferently.

Seeing that Chen Fang had entered the role, Shan Shaoxiong was not angry but happy. He waved for someone to bring a chair and sat down comfortably.

I want to see what your current level is, Chen Fang, and whether it’s worth it for you to go to the United States.

He thought to himself.

　As for No. 4 Middle School, it is indeed as described in the article. Of course, it is not so ridiculously strong now, because the enrollment is divided into districts, there are not so many good students, and not so many students can enter Tsinghua University and Peking University. But I really appreciate the teaching philosophy of No. 4 Middle School, especially their unique hexagonal classrooms. If you are interested, you can search it. That design is so scientific!
