Chapter 160 Athena drove slowly before asking, "Alaric. I heard that you participated in the National Basketball Tearn's draft training camp and selection event. How did it go?"

Her family had mentioned that Alaric was a basketball athlete with a national first-level athlete certification. He scored above the second-tier line on the SAT, gaining admission to the West End University of Technology, located next to Kitmore University. Although the West End University of Technology was not as prestigious as Kitmore University, it was still a member of the Top Universities Program. It placed a strong emphasis on sports, with its basketball team being the best among the national college basketball teams. Just two months ago, in the finals of the National College Basketball League, the University of Technology's basketball teamn made history by winning their first-ever championship, defeating the reigning powerhouse, Dichester University, by a narrow 2-point margin. Dichester even had players from the national team, making the win even more impressive. Those 2 points were scored by Alaric, in a buzzer-beater at the last moment.

This achievement also helped Alaric pass the selection process and become a member of the national team's draft training

After the school year starts. West End will send substitute players to compete against our school's basketball team to assess my performance. This is my chance to catch their attention."

Hearing this. Athena realized that it was already the end of August, and the university would start in just a few days.

She freed one hand and made a fist, cheering, "Go for it, Alaric! You must have heard from your family that I have a good eye for talent and have never chosen the wrong person. I'm sure you can do it."

Considering his achievements from childhood to now, she believed he would be just fine. Not to mention, just watching how Alaric rushed down the stairs from the second floor with such speed and stability was impressive.
