Chapter 126 Crossroads
In fact, Li Yi is right whether his words are rough or not. Regardless of his emotions and attitudes, his words are indeed facts. This is the truth.
Li Wei himself also practiced sports, how could he not know?
The path of professional sports, which seems to be so bright and glorious, is actually full of thorns and twists and turns. Only one in a million can emerge a superstar. What's more, he hastily switched from one project to another in less than a day. It takes only a few years to prepare for the challenge of entering the professional field.
It’s a fantasy.
However, everything is possible because of the football training system.
Li Wei was not anxious or panicked, but faced Li Yi's gaze calmly, showing his belief with his eyes and gestures, waiting patiently for the tense atmosphere to calm down slightly, ensuring that it was not anger communicating or emotion communicating.
Then, speak again.
"I know how ridiculous things can seem."
"Actually, at the beginning, I did just do a favor for the team coach and occasionally appeared as a substitute. None of us expected this development."
“I fell in love with this sport, from the bottom of my heart.”
"I think rugby is very interesting. In addition to course study and daily training, I will take the initiative to train, learn tactics and watch game videos. The more I understand, the more interesting it becomes. It is like a brand new interest."
"Also, I like to play on the court. I am very excited and enjoy every game. Standing on the court, I like the atmosphere and confrontation."
Li Yi wanted to speak out to refute, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by Jiang Yin, "Listen to Xiao Wei and then talk."
Levi smiled at Jiang Yin.
"And not only do I like it, I'm also very good at it."
"Really, I'm doing great."
Rarely, Levi boasted, and then he looked at Perry.
Because Li Wei knew that relying solely on his mouth would be unconvincing, and he still needed the objective stance of a third party.
Perry, whose brain was in a mess and was trying hard to eliminate his sense of existence, became the focus of attention. Not only Li Wei, but also Li Yi and Jiang Yin also looked over.
A little nervous.
Perry swallowed, but he mustered up the courage to say, "That's true."
"This season, he is the No. 1 running back in college. He is very good, very, very good. He is still the most popular winner of the Heisman Award."
"Oh, the Heisman Award is the highest award in college football. Not just running backs, but all players, Levi is also the best."
"The University of Alabama has remained undefeated all season, and Levi is the absolute core."
Short, but powerful.
Levi gave Perry a thumbs up to express his gratitude, and then looked at Li Yi again.
"Even if you don't believe Jack, you should believe the coaches at the school who thought I should turn pro and asked me for my opinion."
call.
Let out a small breath.
Levi could notice that the atmosphere had eased slightly, at least it was no longer tense, but Li Yi and Jiang Yin still did not waver easily, their eyes full of confusion.
Levi thought maybe he should switch gears.
"It was the same thing when you came across the ocean to New York."
"You don't know English and have no special skills. You don't have any understanding of New York. You have no special goals or directions. You just heard that there are opportunities here, so you set out into the unknown, all just to chase a better life."
"Over the years, I have moved forward step by step. I have had it all from scratch, and I have had dreams. I am still working hard." "You don't know what is waiting in front of you, but you still set foot on it. Unknown journey.”
"Now, so am I."
"I have an idea, some curiosity, some enthusiasm and some expectations. I don't know what will happen in the future, and I can't be 100% sure that it will succeed. The professional arena is definitely more difficult than I imagined, but at the same time it is also hidden. There are more unseen opportunities.”
"I'm looking forward to it and I'm happy. I'm ready to meet the challenge; and I can't wait to start this new journey."
"This is the same as the first time you set foot on the city of New York. There is uneasiness and fear, but there is more joy and expectation."
It’s eloquent, but it’s told in a eloquent way.
Levi is sincere and calm.
Gradually, Li Yi and Jiang Yin also calmed down.
This kind of Levi is unfamiliar. The little one in their impression has quietly grown up. He is neither willful nor foolhardy. He persuades them rationally and calmly, and expresses his thoughts with reason.
Jiang Yin's emotions were mixed, including worry, joy, relief, etc. His eyes were slightly hot, and he looked away in panic to adjust himself.
Li Yi was stunned for a long time, and then let out a long breath, "You know what professional competition means, right?"
"It's different from before. It may be ten times or a hundred times harder. You can't be lazy or slack off. This is a profession; and you will face countless difficulties. Once you start, you can't give up. You may not be rewarded for your efforts."
"Maybe you were a star in college, but everyone who can enter the professional league is a genius and a star. Not every college star can continue to shine in the professional arena. Are you ready?"
The words are serious, bitter and worrying, with a hint of heaviness.
Levi nodded gently, simple but firm.
Li Yi stared at Li Wei quietly. Although Li Wei did not reply, his eyes and expressions said everything, which finally convinced Li Yi.
"Okay. I get it."
"I don't want to advise you. I only have one request. Give yourself another month to think about it carefully and prove that you are not impulsive. If you still haven't changed your mind after a month, then go for it."
After a pause, Li Yi added.
"Mom and dad don't have much ability. They can't guarantee you a lifetime of wealth, but at least they'll have you to eat."
"If you fail as a professional player, then come back and inherit this store. You won't starve to death after all."
"So, when you grow up and want to go out and explore, then go out bravely."
The simple words no longer had the sharpness they had before, but revealed a little warmth in his helplessness, which made Levi's nose feel slightly sour.
He thought that he wouldn't care, after all, there was already another soul in this skin; but at this moment, he could feel the blood connection between the souls, and the warmth in his chest gradually expanded.
Levi didn't say much, just nodded heavily.
Silently, Jiang Yin, who had been sitting next to him silently, sniffed and barely controlled himself, trying to smile and comfort Li Wei, but he didn't expect to speak before he spoke, and his voice trembled slightly.
"Pay attention to your health..."
Jiang Yin took a deep breath.
"I don't know about professional players, but I know that you have to take care of your body and pay attention to injuries. Mom doesn't care about championships. She just wants you to be healthy and stay away from injuries. The most important thing is..."
As he spoke, his eyes became slightly red again. Jiang Yin lowered his head in embarrassment, rubbed his eyes vigorously with the back of his hand, and tried his best to hide his tears.
