After seeing off Anna at the airport on her flight to Miami, Timothy High School and her party boarded a flight back to Chicago. In the bitter cold of Lake Michigan, what awaits Sun Yi is a three-week devil training.

On January 15, 2004, Simeon High School hosted Emwood Park High School. This game is for fifteen-year-old Derek. Rose had a special significance, and after a semester of being hidden by Coach Hambrick, it was finally time to release the tiger from the fence.
Rose's mother Brenda, eldest brother Dwayne, second brother Reggie, and third brother Allen all came to the scene to cheer him on. Oh! Of course, Derek's number one fan, Jenny. Ford, and Inglewood's little brother Anthony. Davis.
Derek, who made his debut for the first time, didn't feel any nervousness at all. Emwood Park High School's defense was like paperwork in the face of his sharp breaks, seasoned balls, and perverted physicality.
Derrick, who played 25 minutes, was very efficient and put up beautiful statistics of 22 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists, leading Simeon High School to a 20-point victory. Since then, this basketball star from Inglewood has gradually come into people's sights.
Timothy High School, which has been honed by the Nike Tour in Los Angeles, has shown an unstoppable form in the competition after the new semester. On January 16, they won by 32 points against Regis Wood High School, on January 20 they won by 23 points away to South Colombard High School, on January 22 they continued to win by 35 points at home to Notre Dame High School of Chicago, and on January 26 they won by 9 points away to Wheaton Middle School. On January 29, they beat Iriana Christian High School by 25 points at home, and on January 30, they defeated Fulton High School in overtime.
In just half a month, the Trojans won 6 games and 6 wins, with an average net win of more than 20 points per game. The performance of rising stars Glenn and Sun Yi has made the high school basketball section of Chicago's major media crazy.
On February 2nd, this made Derek. Rose's long-awaited day has finally arrived. On this day, Simeon High School will host the Trojans of Timothy High School, which is popular throughout Chicago.
Derek, who has been preparing for this game for nearly a year, still hasn't withstood the onslaught of Glenn and Sun Yi. Since there is no right-hand man, Derek. Ross is struggling to stand alone. At 55:65, his team also lost by 10 points, and he didn't get frustrated for long after losing the game, because the Chinese boy invited him to play with him during the summer vacation.
Competing against two opponents of equal strength always makes people progress faster. Snyder arranged a training plan for Sun Yi this year's holiday early, and this holiday can be said to be the most important physical training for Sun Yi. Through the results of the follow-up test, Snyder believes that Sun Yi's muscle tissue has reached the expected standard, and it is time to improve muscle capacity. He even made an appointment with a well-known physical trainer through a relationship early for this summer's training.
Two hours of high-intensity physical training in the morning is not over. Sun Yi was asked to find a child of comparable strength to conduct confrontational heads-up training in the evening.
Sun Yi was struggling with Snyder's request, and there was originally a ready-made candidate for Glenn. It's a pity that he has to participate in a lot of training camps during the summer vacation, and this year's training camp is especially important for him who is preparing to graduate from high school and participate in the draft directly.
Thomas is willing to improve with Sun Yi, but his strength is not enough. He can improve, and when the time comes, Sun Yi's level will be fine as long as it doesn't drop.
Thinking about it, the only one who can compete with Sun Yi in Chicago is the No. 1 Derrick of the Broncos. Ross. When I was worried about how to contact the boy, I was really sleepy and someone sent a pillow. In this match with Simeon High School, two rivals who cherish each other meet again. Although there is no suspense about the outcome of the game, the two teenagers are also very happy to be able to compete with such an opponent during the holiday.
After exchanging contact information, the two children left the venue with their respective teams. It's just that Derek wonders how Sister Jenny, who must be there every game, is strangely absent from his game today.
After their victory over Simeon High School, the Trojans continued their hurricane journey. On February 5, they beat Gueling Preparatory High School 75:46, on February 6, they beat Pinoa Christian High School by 8 points, on February 9, they beat Emwood Park High School by 15 points, on February 13, they beat off their old rival Reichswood at home, on February 16, they beat off the powerhouse ****** Christian High School, and on February 19, they defeated Chicago Christian High School, the last opponent of the qualifying round, with a hearty victory.
In the end, the Timothy Trojans won the No. 1 seed in the Chicago area with a super record of 26 wins and 1 loss throughout the qualifying round.
When Sun Yi and the others were nervously preparing for the regional top 8 matches, Helen. Donati is also seriously preparing for the upcoming interview at the Columbia School of Journalism.
Since returning halfway through the Nike Tour, Helen seems to have forgotten the Oriental teenager she loved and hurt her. Devoted to their own careers, occasionally met at school, and only greeted them with a smile from afar, it seemed that they didn't have much in common.
On February 22, he defeated Lyle High School in the first game of the Chicago Finals, defeated Wheaton Middle School on February 24 to reach the finals, and defeated Pinoah Christ High School in the finals on February 26 to easily win the Chicago Regional Championship and qualify for the Illinois State Championship in the last 8.
The Timotai High School Trojans, who are regarded as the top favorites in this championship, almost capsized in the gutter 66:65 against their first opponent, St. Eders High School, on March 1.
The danger of the first game made all the Trojans put away some arrogance. In the semi-finals on March 4th, they successfully defeated Alona Christian High School. On March 8, the state championship finals defeated Southeastern High School from Springfield 76-65 to win the final championship in Illinois.
From November 2003 to March 2004, the Timothy High School Trojans team won the first state championship in the school's history after more than four months of fierce battles under the leadership of Coach Boehly, and they won an astonishing 32-1 record.
Outstanding performance of Glenn. Sampson averaged 28 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists per game this season. He was named the 2004 Illinois Basketball Man by the Chicago Tribune, and the various honors that came to him also doubled the value of this basketball genius. Managers of many NBA teams have sent the most professional scout teams to track and evaluate him.
Sun Yi's debut high school season ended with such a perfect picture, as he averaged 20 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists in 25 minutes per game throughout the season. It has also attracted the attention of many professional media and scouts, who believe that this Chinese boy will be a strong contender for Illinois Basketball Man for a long time to come.
On June 6, 2004, the first game of the NBA 03-04 Finals kicked off on the Staples Center Court, home of the Los Angeles Lakers.
Before the game, major media and ball critics were optimistic about the Lakers with four superstars, and a look at their roster list will show that these speculations are not unreasonable. The league's most experienced champion coach, 'Zen Master' Phil. Jackson, the league's most dominant player, Shaquille. O'Neal, the best scoring guard since Flyer Jordan - Kobe Bryant. Bryant, a long-time veteran of the League and still a strong postman, Carl Brown. Malone, once the league's best point guard nicknamed "The Gloves". Payton, and Super Sixth Man Devin. George, backup point guard Derek. Fisher......
Civilian team Detroit Pistons, in the old coach Larry. Under Brown's leadership, a group of second-rate stars relied on iron-blooded defensive will to unexpectedly walk to the court of the finals.
In the backyard of Sun Yi's house, temporary lighting facilities illuminate the stadium. Two teenagers of the same age were resting under the basket.
After 2 hours of intense physical training in the morning, his legs felt as heavy as lead in the evening against his new friend Derek. Although he was defeated by this former subordinate, he believes that after a period of adaptation, he can still defeat this strong opponent.
"Derek, how many games do you think the Lakers will be able to settle the battle?" Sun Yi remembered the finals that would start in a while, and asked casually.
"I think the Pistons have a show." After thinking seriously for a while, Derek. Ross replied.
"Oh? Your idea is new. However, I don't think what you said is realistic. Sun Yi obviously didn't believe that the Lakers, who had their idol Kobe, would lose the Finals.
"Everybody thinks the Lakers are very strong, but I think it's because their roster is so strong that they rely more on their individual strength." Derrick paused and continued: "Instead, the Pistons are more like a whole, and everyone is serving the whole, rather than the Lakers, who look gorgeous and are actually scattered. ”
Sun Yi shrugged his shoulders undeniably, whatever. "How are you going to get back?"
"My sister will come to pick me up, don't worry."
Jin Feng came to the backyard and shouted to the two teenagers sitting on the ground: "After practicing, hurry up and take a hot bath, sit on the ground and be careful of catching a cold." ”
Hearing his mother's advice, Sun Yi immediately pulled up his friend and prepared to go into the house to take a bath.
When passing by Jinfeng, Derek greeted her very politely, and it was rare that he was so polite every time.
Jin Feng, who has a vicious eye, likes this sincere and kind teenager from the bottom of his heart.
