Chapter 5

Mader returned home after the day's race and looked at his list of systems, which didn't seem to work. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Ma De used his diary to copy all the numbers on the system list, ready to continue researching the role of this list.

With the passage of time, Indiana's high school league has been more than halfway through the game, and Laureus North High School has won all seven games, and the victory of more than 30 points per game has made the whole team more and more confident.

We are the best.

December 7, 2005 is the day to change the life of Mader.

At 7 p.m., after a day of training. Mader returned home to start doing his homework, looked at his system list as usual, and suddenly found that his power in the list had increased by 1 point to 68 points.

Ma De began to analyze his data comprehensively, and the other numbers did not move, only the strength increased a little, is it because the coach has worked on his own special strength training in the past two months?

Mader wasn't sure what his number was, but luckily he wasn't the kind of person to break the casserole and ask for the end.

Put aside your doubts and start finishing today's homework.

The next morning, for the first time, Ma De went to the stadium instead of going to the classroom to start training.

You must know that most of the players on the team are not able to eat professionally, so except for Oden and Connie, who have the opportunity to play in the NCAA and NBA, everyone has to take classes to learn including Mader.

Although many people think that as long as Ma De practices well, he will naturally be given a full scholarship by the university, and now even the media says that he has the ability to play in the NBA.

However, as a good boy in China, Ma De has a very tight grasp of his studies, and almost all of his A grades are a result every year, so that Ma De, who is concerned about others and thinks that he can be literate and martial, will definitely have something to do as long as he goes to a team that attaches importance to tactics.

After seven games, Madder is averaging 21.6 points, 6.1 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game, and he is now simulating a lottery finish in this year's BNA draft.

Even people who are still prejudiced against the race have begun to change their attitude towards yellow basketball, after all, there is a successful template that has been playing in the NBA for 3 years, yes, it is Yao Ming, the pride of Chinese---.

Ma De is now ready to give up his studies for the time being, and start training with all his strength to see if his attributes can really improve.

He also has an NBA dream, he doesn't want to wait for his good friends Oden and Conny to go to the NBA and he can only cheer off the court, he has to go all out.

Years of training have brought him close to the best he can achieve at this stage, and he must invest more time in training if he wants to break through the current bottleneck.

In fact, Mader has always been not very confident in himself, he is afraid that he will become a waste player after leaving Oden, the media and everyone expect too much from him, he is afraid that he will not meet everyone's expectations of himself and disappoint those who like him. I have to say that Ma De has been in the United States for so many years, and he still has traditional Chinese thinking in his bones.

The physical fitness of the black people is too strong, and in these years of competition, Mader has seen too many players who are better than him, and they are all unknown and he has become a superstar just because he stands behind Oden.

Mader began to change. Maybe it's the system, maybe it's the media, maybe it's the dream .... In short, Mader wants to make himself a better and stronger Mader.

After training with all his might, Mader began to become terrible, and after quitting sugar, oil, and fat, he began to get irritable after training for more than 10 hours a day, even if he had only started for three months.

Of course, the results are also outstanding.

Name: Mader

Age: 18 years old

Height: 198 cm

Weight: 89 kg

Team: Lawrence North High School Raccoons

Role: Small forward

Strength: 72 (5 points), up to 79 capped attribute 99

Speed: 76 (4 points), up to 83 cap stat 99

Bounce: 66 (5 points), up to 74 cap stat 99

Flexibility: 76 (1 point), up to 88 cap attribute 99

Stamina: 80 (4 points), up to 89 cap attribute 99

Within three months, Mader's stats began to grow explosively, increasing his total stats by 21 points. Let Mader also feel more and more comfortable in the game.

(The 18-year-old body combined with scientific and rigorous training might have been able to add more if it weren't for the fact that Mader's ceiling talent was too low.) )

This year, all three Trident received invitations to the All-Star Game for McDonald's high school students.

April 2, 2005 is the main day of the McDonald's All-Star Game for high school students.

This game brings together the best high school players of the class of '06, like the NBA's All-Star Game, divided into the main game, slam dunk contest, three-point contest, skill contest, etc.

This is the 29th annual McDonald's All-Star Game for High School Seniors, which divides the best high school seniors in the country into East and West teams.

The main members of the eastern team are,

Center: Greg Oden

Power forward: Brandon White

Small forward: Jamie Ma

Shooting guard: Ty Lawson

Point guard: Mike Conley

Subs: Scottie Reynolds, Defender Lance-Thomas, Forward Vernon Macklin, Forward Daquin Cook, Guard Wayne Ellington, and 12 other players

The main members of the Western team are:

Center: Brooke López

Power forward: Robin López

Small forward: Kevin Durant

Shooting guard: Chase Badinger

Point guard: Grevis Vasquez

Substitutes include Gavallis Critanton point guard, Augustin guard, Darrell Arthur small forward, Yi Jianlian big forward, Earl Clark small forward and 12 other players

What's very interesting about this game is that the Eastern team has the very famous trident, forming a center-small forward-point guard line led by Lawrence North High School, while the western team has the interior duo of Lopez and Montrose Christian High School on the outside, Durant and Vasquez.

This game has attracted the attention of the whole country, and to be honest, just looking at the lineup of this game is legendary.

Super center Greg Oden vs. the Lopez family on the inside, and Lawrence North High School on the outside vs. Montrose Christian High School on the outside.

Many college coaches and NBA scouts across the country have come to the present early, ready to examine their favorite objects.

Even the Chinese media have come a lot, on the one hand, Yi Jianlian's influence. The Chinese media who arrived early found that one of the main players in the east was a Chinese young man who could speak Chinese, which aroused the interest of the entire Chinese sports media, and they came to the United States to dig up Mader's first-hand information at the start of the main game.

2 hours before the start of the game, there was an hour of his own interview time, and Ma De was surrounded by Chinese and American reporters, and some American reporters couldn't interview top big-name players like Oden and saw so many Chinese reporters around Jamie, just to join in the fun.

"Mader, when did you start playing basketball and how is your level? Can you beat Yi Jianlian? Do you know Yi Jianlian? Do you think he didn't become the main force because of the color of his skin? ”

Ma De was still very excited when he heard the question in Chinese, this was the first time he faced a Chinese reporter, but after listening to the reporter's question, he instantly became embarrassed.

Who the ghost knows who Yi Jianlian is?

Before Mader could reply, he heard the Yankees protest and demand that Chinese reporters interview in English, otherwise they would not understand and would not be able to write the news.

After hearing the protest of the American reporter, the Chinese reporter asked another question in English, but the reporter changed the question with a face.

"Jamie, when did you start playing basketball? What are you good at? Offense or defense? Do you know Yi Jianlian? ”

"I've been playing basketball since I was 11 years old, after all, I like to score, and Yi Jianlian is not very familiar with it. I know that he and my good friend Oden have played in the Under-16 youth tournament and they are said to be good. ”

Ma De replied modestly, in fact, he had never heard of who Yi Jianlian was. However, in front of American reporters, it is not good to brag without giving face to Chinese buddies.

"When did you move to the United States? Will they be able to play this game well against the Western Force today? Looking forward to fighting Yi Jianlian? Do you have the confidence to face him? ”

Mader was also stopped by this reporter, the opponent Badinger? Or Yi Jianlian? Is it good to get rid of a position where I am not playing with Yi Jianlian?

When Mader was in a dilemma, Jeff, a reporter from Sports Illustrated who had several friendly interviews with Mader, immediately helped Mader resolve the embarrassment.

"Jamie is one of the best high school players in the United States, he moved from China to Indiana at the age of 11, he is a member of the best trident in the country, and this year they have a chance to be the strongest high school team ever, averaging 20+5+5 players per game, do you think he has what it takes to play this game? And the big forward can't play against Jamie. ”

Ma Deda is grateful to the reporter named Jeff, who not only resolved his embarrassment, but also helped him fight for face in the Chinese media.

In fact, Jeff just can't get used to these Chinese media always praising that Yi, and today he doesn't even put Jamie, who may become one of the histories of high school basketball, in his eyes, which makes Jeff very angry, Jamie is American, although he is yellow-skinned.

Ma De rushed to get rid of the harassment of these Chinese media and entered the venue to start warm-up practice.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the game officially began.

Oden easily jumped to win over Brooke, and the East team got the ball first.

Canny dribbled the ball to the outside of the three-point line, and Mader immediately ran up to make a block and dismantle cover for Canny and then dismantled to the right baseline with the trend.

At the free-throw line, Oden helped himself block Durant and then pulled it off the left interior to draw Brook back, who was ready to rotate the defense, and Madder was empty, and Conley passed the ball between Battinger and Vasquez.

Mader's hand qi knife fell 2:0

After Vasquez dribbled the ball to the three-point line and gave it to Durant, he pulled Conley to run to the baseline, making room for Durant to single Mader.

Durant is not the one who will win at 206? (or 2.10 meters tall) is a small forward Durant, at this time 2.01 meters tall is only 3 centimeters taller than Mader, but the arm span is nearly 5 centimeters longer than Mader.

The two are also on the thin side, and Durant's strength is relatively not smaller than that of Mader.

Mader had a pre-game defense against him, which was to squeeze him with his body and disrupt his balance when he was shooting.

Seeing Durant take the ball, Madder immediately stuck to him and began to squeeze him with his body, making him move out of shape.

Mader isn't too afraid of Durant breaking him with speed, everyone is a speed-type small forward, and you can be a little faster than me at most.

However, Mader took it for granted, and Durant shook off Mader's defense with a change of direction and hit a one-step shot from outside the free throw line. 2:2

It's not that Mader's defense is too scummy, it's that Durant's first step is too fast, and Mader chooses to defend closely.

When Durant's first step came up, Mader didn't have a chance to make up for it.

Canny continued to dribble the ball outside the 3-point line, and when Mader was about to step forward to block and dismantle, he was blocked by teammate Lawson as soon as he ran in the direction of Conley.

The scene was very embarrassing, and Mader and Lawson bumped into each other.

However, Ma De is still smart, and immediately turned around and ran against the bottom line, Kangli is not a good friend, and immediately understood Ma De's plan, and a pass full of advance flew to the bottom line 3 minutes and 0 degrees.

This ball Ma De received very comfortably, directly took the ball in the air and half turned to face the basket to shoot, at this time Durant was still 1 step away from Ma De, which did not affect Ma De's shot at all.

It seems that this ball is a very difficult shot, but in fact, anyone who has played the ball knows that this kind of very comfortable pass is used as a catch-and-shoot shot, and the shooting rate is very high.

5:2

Mader hits again.

Durant took a closer look at Mader, who was defending himself in front of him, and Jamie Ma's name has appeared countless times in the high school basketball world this year, in newspapers, in the mouths of coaches, and in the mouths of teammates.

They all felt that Mader, who was about the same size and shooting style as him, was their biggest opponent at the best small forward position.

In fact, Durant never felt that Jamie Ma was qualified to challenge for his position as the best small forward.

It's just the yellow-skinned kid standing behind Oden.

It wasn't until this moment that Durant found out that this was an interesting opponent and really treated Madder as an opponent.

Durant received the ball and shot without Mader in one step.

This time, Mader was not completely out of position, and secretly pushed down the belly that jumped in the air with Durant's hand against him.

Although Durant's body was a little deformed, the ball also bounced into the frame.

Mader found that Durant was not as weak as the media said, at least Mader pushed up Durant in the air, even if his body was a little deformed, he could still keep the gesture of shooting unchanged.

It's a tough opponent.

5:4

Mader continued to block and dismantle the bottom line, Oden was blocking and dismantling, and Conny rushed directly into the interior to attract Robin, who switched defenses, to divide Mader again.

Mader misplaced singles Badinger.

The 197-centimeter-tall Bardinger did not suffer a loss when he let go of Marder.

Mader turned around and elbowed Battinger to the left back flank to make a small throw at Robin, who came over to make a move, and scored on the board.

7:4

Mader had a very smooth hand today, scoring seven points in three consecutive attacks after the opening game.

Vasquez dropped the ball to Robin on the inside, and Brooke immediately pulled away Oden and let Robin single White.

One step back from the dribble, half-turned small hook hand, Robin's inside movement was very beautiful, and then the ball hit the basket directly into the hands of White, who turned around and prepared for a strong rebound.

Mader, Conley, and Lawson quickly went down, and White launched a long pass directly from the backfield and threw the ball into the arms of the spectators on the bottom line.

Vasquez organized again and dropped the ball to Robin, the same action, the same way, the same result.

This time, White didn't dare to make a long pass with the ball, and waited for the positional battle after handing it to Kangli.

Mader took the ball near the free throw line again, faced with Durant's step-back shot, with a small back-to-back shot, Durant couldn't block it at all, although his height and long arms interfered with Mader's vision, the ball still hit.

Today, Oden faced the All-Star level Lopez brothers, and after the trident discussed, he consciously opened the opening to let Madder play first, after all, Durant's defense is not very good.

9:4

After Durant and Brooke made a pick-and-roll, Madder was blocked by 2.09m Brook.

Oden defended Durant alone, and was cleaned up by a change of direction, and Durant took the ball into the restricted area and jumped in 3 steps.

Although Oden's speed and power on the inside are top-notch, Durant is still too slow to face guard-level speed.

The morale of the Western All-Star team, which was originally suppressed by Mader's consecutive scores, rose again, and it was a very beautiful dunk.

9:6

Lawson singled Badinger and missed.

After coming back, he was chased by Vasquez and Durant 2v2.

9:7

After another double block with Oden, Mader slipped into the interior, and a half-turn hook feint with his back to Brooke under the basket attracted Brooke to jump, and then stepped back to shoot.

11:7

Mader hit five consecutive shots to score 11 points.

The legendary head coach of the Western All-Star Team at National Christian College, Stu Witt, called a timeout.

"After Durant is blocked, Badinger you have to pay attention to the fill-in, Robin you also save from the inside, even the bag can't make Jamie score, the boys he scored 11 points in a row. Tell me, you're not going to let him score under his nose. Brooke, after Robin gives up the inside, Jamie may pass the ball to the inside, be sure to withstand Oden's singles, Durant, although White's basket skills are not outstanding, but you also have to prevent White from eating strongly. ”

The 30-second timeout quickly passed, and the two teams were back on the field.

Brooke continued to pull away from Oden, allowing Robin to single White.

To be honest, Robin's technique is not as good as Brooke's, but White is too rough and Sora has a good body.

was tricked into flying by Robin, a blue-throwing that looked fake.

11:9

Mader continued to take the ball with his back to the right 3-point line, and Mader could feel that Durant's elbow against his waist was not very strong.

Mader chose to force Durant with his back, dribbled to the back, and after a single or two strokes of the standard interior play, he felt that Durant's strength was a little dissipated.

Mader leaned hard for the third time and easily completed a back-to-back jumper with the help of the rebound.

Durant's strength was obviously a little broken, and when Mader turned around for a jumper, he couldn't adjust his center of gravity to jump interference, and could only symbolically wave his hand as defense.

13:9

After Durant used the pick-and-roll, he quickly passed Mad's pull-up jumper.

13:11

Mader forced Durant with his back again, faked a turnaround jumper, deceived Durant, and then jumped up and rubbed Durant's arm to shoot, and the ball went out of the frame.

This is the mind of the A test every year, and the true and false actions make Durant very uncomfortable.

Tricked Durant into a foul, and Mader hit two free throws.

15:11

The first five minutes of the game became an exhibition game between Mader and Durant.

Mader, in particular, is obviously a bit of a pressure on Durant.

However, Durant was simply cleaned up by Mader, and he was not Durant.

The race has just begun.
