Chapter 81: Change
(Speed up, high school years are coming to an end!!!!!!! )
Years later, a member of the team from Timothy's glory days in high school recalled: The Chinese player Sun Yi had a huge change in personality in his senior year of high school. I still haven't figured out what happened to him that changed him so much.
What the? Is this change good or bad? Belch! As a friend, I don't think it's a good thing. The previous Sun Yi was a very gentle oriental gentleman. He'll always smile nicely at you or make some oriental jokes. In short, you will find it very pleasant to be with him. After the change, although he still smiles at you a lot, you can feel that it is different from before, with a feeling of rejection. He became unapproachable, except for one person in the team, of course.
From a teammate's point of view, I think it's positive. In his sophomore and junior years of high school, he was a little too kind to his teammates and opponents on the court. For example, he can always find a teammate who is in an open position and get the ball to you accurately. I remember one game where I missed a lot of open shots. But he never complains, and smiles at you. The next time the opportunity comes, the ball will still be in your hands. It's a good feeling to be trusted, but I think people always live up to his trust.
We were strong then, really. There isn't a single high school team in the country that can beat us. Even, many games go into garbage time at half-time. He tends to be too merciful to these teams who are powerless to resist.
In his senior year of high school, he became a completely different person in the competition. Belch! How to say, yes, ruthless! His enthusiasm for the game is much higher than before. If someone misses a very simple shot, they will keep their eyes on you. Yes, it's like that. This kind of silent reprimand can stimulate our potential even more. Because, everybody is a little afraid that he will stare at you again.
The opponent is much worse, hehe! He shot a lot more resolutely than before, took more shots and hit more shots. In the game, he is everywhere, rebounding, stealing, blocking, assisting, scoring, etc., he becomes omnipotent. is also more ruthless, as long as he is still on the court, as long as the game time is not over, Sun Yi will keep attacking the opponent's basket.
I remember that in '06 there was a regional championship final with Simeon High School, and his good friend Derek . Rose is playing against him, yes, that very famous NBA superstar. I still remember very clearly the statistics of the two at half-time. Sun Yi scored 25 points and 6 rebounds. 6 assists. And Rose, under Sun Yi's defense, only got 6 points, 2 rebounds, and 3 assists. You know, Rose that year was also a top player in high school. Over the course of the season, he averaged 28 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists per game. It's a pity that I met the reborn Sun Yi. It stands to reason that after a big lead. You should save some face for your friends, at least have a slightly more decent statistic. But do you know how many points Rose scored in the end? 8 points, yes, I remember it shouldn't be wrong. In the entire second half, Sun Yi only scored 2 points against his friend. Hehe, you say he's not very cold and ruthless. I like it, though. When I think back to that time now, I feel like my blood is boiling......

It's the spring season of the year again, and the Murray Park open-air court, which has been silent for a winter, is full of vitality again.
"Dude, aren't you still mad at that game?" Sun Yi quipped as he put his arm around his friend.
Rose gave a blank look, this dead-faced guy. "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
"False. I'm a cheap person! Haha" Although after the breakup with Anna, Sun Yi became unapproachable. However, after that heart-wrenching breakup, he cherished his few good friends even more, Derek. Ross is certainly one of them.
"Lie, okay. I'm really angry, do you know how many scouts sat on the field that day? Rose faked an angry expression.
"Okay. Next, let me hear the truth from you. "In fact, that game was an accident, and the difference between the real strength of the two people was only a millimeter. can only blame Ross for having a poor outside touch that day, and after Sun Yi found out, he didn't shoot out. In addition, under the careful training of Mr. Snyder, Sun Yi's physical fitness has been higher than that of his friends, and he is not afraid of Rose's breakthrough at all. For various reasons, there is that disparity in data.
After pondering for a moment, Rose said with a sincere face: "Thank you, in fact, I know that you respect me and treat me as your best friend before you do your best." Because of this, I will continue to grow stronger. ”
"Okay, after listening to the truth, don't be sentimental. Tell me about Jenny, how is she doing? Sun Yi was most afraid of others confessing his true feelings to him now, so he quickly changed the topic.
"Sister Jenny has rarely shown her face lately, and I heard that someone is going to be bad for her." The two have not seen each other since that abduction. It's not because of Anna, but Sun Yi, who puts all his energy into basketball, really doesn't have the time or the mind.
"Oh! I haven't seen her in a long time, and I miss her dinner. Sun Yi joked.
In fact, Ross also vaguely knew that Sun Yi's breakup with his girlfriend seemed to be related to Sister Jenny. He didn't want to wade into this troubled water, "When are you going to the newspaper office to receive the award?" ”
The Chicago Tribune has named Sun Yi, who just led the team to win the state championship, as the 2006 Illinois Basketball Man. This is the first foreign basketball man in the history of American high school basketball. As a result of Glenn's accidental injury. In order to commemorate this basketball genius who fell due to injury, last year's selection was deliberately vacant.
"Huh! You know, I'm not interested in any of that. But don't worry. When my brother goes to college, next year's Mr. Basketball must be you. ”
"Humph! What's the point of not winning this honor from you. By the way, are you sure which university to go to? ”
"I don't know yet, if I pass the SAT, I want to go to Duke."
"Oh, wouldn't it be like I'd have to wait a long time before I had a chance to defeat you?"
"Yo he! Out of thee, arise. Brother teaches you to be a man and treats all kinds of disobedience. ”
……
After a-for-tat heads-up against Mai Mang, two sweaty guys sat on the sidelines.
"Haha, you still can't." After winning, Sun Yi smiled proudly.
"It's just one ball, is it necessary to laugh so exaggeratedly?" Rose loosened the laces of his sneakers to make it easier for his feet.
"If you're still not convinced, I'll continue." ……
