Chapter 2: Odom's Worries

In the office of the head coach of the Vic Forest Devils Deacons, Coach Odom and Bill came to the office after leaving the training hall together. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Coach Odom poured a cup of coffee for the two and sat down together, Odom said first.

"To be honest Bill, after watching Tiger's performance in the final, I wasn't optimistic about his arrival. When I met in Atlanta, I was deeply impressed by the confidence he showed when I met him, but I was afraid that his arrival would affect the team's unity and tactics. You know he's playing too alone in the final and it's not for us, but now the tactical core of the team is Thiem and we need team players. ”

'I don't think you have to worry about that, Thiem is the tactical core, but he's an interior player and he doesn't need to attack with the ball. And I watched all of Tiger's games in his final year of high school, and throughout the process, he was more often tandem and organize the team's offense. Just like he did in the first half of the final. In the second half he took over the game, more often without the support of his team-mates, and he did it the most at that time. "Watching the performance of high school players is part of Bill's scouting job.

"So the question is, if there is a problem with the team in the next game, will he still do this? And Beal, I forgot to tell you, Tiger wants to change his position this summer and switch to shooting guard. He believes that his height is more suitable for the position, rather than a small forward in high school. ”

Bill also frowned and asked, "Is it because of Jordan's successor?" ”

"I asked him that question at the time." Coach Odom shook his head at Bill and said, "Guess what he answered me?" He said, 'I'm not going to be Jordan, I'm Tiger, Tiger Washington!' A tiger, I don't need to be anyone, I am who I am. He seemed so confident and calm that I was completely stunned. ”

Bill held his chin in his hand and thought for a moment. "Odom, I think we may have met a player who is unbeatable, his self-confidence, his ambition. Thinking about some of his performances, I think his mind is more mature than we thought. ”

"It's too early to say that, Bill you know that there is no shortage of talent in the world, and there is no shortage of ambitious players, but not every talent can succeed, and their ambition may affect the mentality. Tiger is very different from what we first thought, so the next summer will be key. Bill nodded in agreement.

"By the way, Odom, have you heard the rumors? Outside the college coaching circle, it is rumored: Tiger chose us because he wanted to be teammates with Tim. I heard that he said it when he personally rejected Georgia Tech. Bill was about to leave when he came to the end of the conversation when this rumor suddenly came to mind.

"Yes, that's what he told me, and he doesn't shy away from it."

"Look at the old man, the problem you are worried about is actually not there at all, he appreciates Tim, so he desperately wants to be teammates with Tim, and Tim is in the third grade, after Tim leaves, he will become the absolute core of the team, and Jason and he have been friends since childhood, Jason has no problem assisting him at all."

Coach Odom looked at the old friend in front of him who was about to become a Tiger fan, and felt that he couldn't cry or laugh, so he could only hit him and said: "Old man, how can you be sure that he will be like Tim, who went to college for four years before going to the NBA draft?" You also said that he has what it takes to join the NBA right now. ”

After listening to Coach Odom's words, Bill turned into a deflated balloon. "When you say that, I also think it's hard for him to finish four years of college like Tim."

"Don't be discouraged, man, at least if there are no major problems, we will have what it takes to challenge for the NCAA championship this year."

"This is the best news I've heard from you today, it's so tiring to chat with you, I'm going to the training gym, you can worry about it here!" Bill felt that some of Odom's ideas were too pessimistic to have fun together.

Tiger trained for an afternoon under the guidance of Coach Mark, and with Mark's help, he had a clearer understanding of defense and a deeper understanding, which is more advanced and scientific than the training in high school. After the training session, the coaches all left, and the players, except Jason, were all inked in the stadium and were not in a hurry to leave. They remember Jason challenging Duncan on his first day last year, and they were waiting to see Tiger challenge Duncan! They wanted to see if Tiger was as powerful as the legend had and how he would behave in front of Duncan.

Everyone was disappointed until Duncan finished his extra work, left the arena, went to the locker room to clean up and go home, and Tiger was still practicing free throws. Free throw training is the training that Tiger insists on every day, and this seemingly inconspicuous part sometimes plays a big role in the game, otherwise there will be no shark cutting tactics in the future. So he has always insisted on making free throws every day and maintaining a good shooting percentage so as not to become the next shark.

Tiger, who was concentrating on training, had no idea of his teammates, they were all waiting for him to bravely challenge Duncan, and even if he knew, he would only smile. He never thought about going head-to-head with Duncan, and it didn't make sense for an outside player to go head-to-head with an inside. He is not Jason's IQ arrears and impulsive guy, how could he, who knows Duncan's terrifying strength, do such a sadistic thing.

Everyone was anxious when they saw that Duncan was leaving. Don't go, boss! You're gone, who's the new challenger? A group of people chased Duncan to the locker room, and when they saw Duncan taking a shower and changing clothes, they leaned over to say something.

"You're waiting for that new guy to challenge me?" Duncan knew too well what these teammates were thinking.

"That, that boss, we just want to see if he's as good as the legend."

"Your wish has been disappointed, and he has no idea of challenging me at all. You don't have to wait, let's all disperse! ”

"Why?" Everyone asked together.

"He's different from Jason." Seeing that everyone looked at him puzzled, Duncan continued: "After a year of getting along, don't you know Jason's character?" As long as anyone with a higher IQ than him doesn't challenge me on the first day, it obviously doesn't do any good, it will affect the perception of him and make him not fit in. If it were you, would you do it? Everyone shook their heads neatly.

"It's all gone!" Duncan picked up his things and left the gym to go home. And the rest of the team members, looking at each other, found that everyone has been affected by Jason's IQ recently.
