Chapter 103: Sworn Enemy North Carolina

Since his friend didn't have to practice today, Thomas lost interest in staying in the arena. After he and Sun Yi finished dinner outside, they went straight back to the dormitory.

Many book friends may ask, the protagonist plays well and is so handsome, why don't you play a few soft girls in college. Let's not talk about the impact of the protagonist's unsuccessful emotional experience on him. The team's training takes up a lot of class time, and every Blue Devils player spends most of their spare time catching up on their homework.

Damn, are you so well-behaved? Another book friend said that when I was in college, I never saw those sports students in the classroom and library. Sharp Knife has never been a foreigner, but I have to say that there is indeed a problem with education in our country. When I was in school, because I was a member of the school team (football), I was exempt from all PE subjects, and my grades had to be excellent. Students who join the party must score more than 80 points in each cultural course, and we only need to pass. Since our school is under militarized management and we have to sort out the housekeeping every day, I can ignore it under the pretext of training. Having said all this, I am not here to brush up on my presence, but to give an example of my own personal experience.

To get back to the point, the first team rule of the Blue Devils is that all homework must be good in order to be eligible to stay in the team. The sword of Damocles hanging over his head is fair to every member of the team.

Thomas is holding an Introduction to Logic on the sofa in the living room, exploring the logical relationship between chickens and eggs. After Sun Yi returned to the room, he turned on the computer and entered the mailbox as soon as possible. Sure enough, the highlight video from Coach Voy has been received.

After opening the video, the scene in the picture made Sun Yi feel very familiar. That's right, it was the '04 NBA Finals Pistons vs. Lakers game. A thin figure was circled by Coach Woy with a red circle during the editing. Haha, by the way, it's Hamilton, the king of the CIC.

I saw him accelerate from the penalty area to Billups, who was holding the ball at the top of the left arc, to ask for the ball, and his experienced teammates found that Hamilton did not throw off the Lakers players who were following the defense, and made a feint and handed the ball to Ben on the inside. Wallace. When everyone thought that this attack had nothing to do with Hamilton, he had already run outside the three-point line, and immediately turned on the spot and hit the box again. And 'Big Ben', who was being watched by O'Neal, smashed the ball to the floor with a sharp heart. Hamilton, who cut away from the defense, scored an easy layup after winning the ball......

When Sun Yi was high-fived Masked Man's deceptive, elusive running ability. The protagonist in the picture has become another famous NBA superstar - Ray. Alan.

Compared to Hamilton, Ray. Allen has a longer range and a very different way of running off the ball. His movement looks a little more 'smart', using every obstacle he can get out of defence as he runs, whether it's teammates or opponents. He is accustomed to using the wide body of the post player to slow down the pursuers behind him during lateral runs from the baseline. Then run along the arc and go to the three-point line to catch the ball and shoot.

There was a clip that opened Sun Yi's eyes, in a game against the Heat, 'Flash' Wade was in opposition to him. Thunder. Allen first took advantage of teammate Reggie in the three-second zone. Evans' cross-run shook off his opponent like a plaster and ran towards the touchline. Wade is obviously not a vegetarian either, and he used his strong explosiveness to instantly close the distance between the two.

Thunder. Aaron immediately circled the arc towards Rashad at a high of 45 degrees. Lewis, who made a well-understood off-ball screen, and although Wade did his best to dodge the obstacles, his speed dropped noticeably as he dodged. In such a short moment, Ray. Allen catches the ball and shoots three-pointers and hits! Although the delay of Evans and Lewis in this goal cannot be erased, his intelligent running makes Wade, who is much more physical than himself, have nothing to do......

The video of more than 20 minutes was watched by Sun Yi several times. The Chinese guy was completely mesmerized by the creative and agile running of these two off-ball running masters.

……

At the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, 20 kilometers away from Duke University, the North Carolina Blue Devils' training hall is brightly lit. THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA BASKETBALL TEAM IS CALLED TARHEELS, BUT PEOPLE PREFER TO CALL THEM NORTH CAROLINA BLUE DEVILS. Unlike the dark blue of the Duke Blue Devils, their blue is a light blue.

These two NCAA traditionally powerhouses, their relationship is similar to the 'derby' in the football world. It's like a Milan derby, a London derby, a Liverpool derby, a Manchester derby, a Spanish derby, and so on.

And interestingly, the two sworn enemies entered a period of reconstruction at the same time this year. But it looks like the North Carolina Blues are clearly doing a better job of recruiting and retaining the team's core last season, the interior Raptors Tyler, who averaged 19 points and 8 rebounds per game. Hansbro. Three more basketball prodigies who appeared on this year's McDonald's All-Star Arena in American High School were recruited by point guard Ty. Lawson, quarterback Wayne. Ellington, center Brandon. White. I have to say that in the case of not outstanding grades, the name of Jordan's alma mater is still very popular. Especially this generation of players, most of them grew up watching Joe's gang play.

Silver-haired Roy. Williams crossed his arms and looked at the boys on the field who were chasing me with a high-spirited expression. The North Carolina veteran is also legendary, having entered the University of North Carolina in 1968 at the age of 18 and was selected for the varsity team. After graduating from college, he worked as a high school basketball coach for 5 years. In 1978 he returned to his alma mater and became the famous coach Dean Brown. Smith's assistant coach.

He is the god of basketball, Jordan, the real Bole, and Hauge of Pittsburgh. Gfinkel's "Basketball Five-Star Camp" was the most desirable place for high school basketball talents in the United States at that time, just like today's ABCD training camp. At that time, Jordan, who had just graduated from high school, was not well-known and wanted to enter this coveted basketball temple, but was turned away by the manager of the training camp. If it weren't for Coach Williams' strong recommendation, there would be no legend of Jordan winning the training camp MVP for three consecutive weeks and a scholarship invitation to the University of North Carolina.

Williams, who had been an assistant coach for ten years in 1988, received the transfer of the newly lost Larry Coach. Brown's invitation to the University of Kansas head coaching position. It is unbelievable that he, who took over the whip in the middle of the season, led the team to win the NCAA championship that year when everyone was not optimistic.

In 2003, the University of North Carolina brought back Williams, who had the blood of the North Carolina Blue Devils, back to serve as the team's head coach. He lived up to the expectations of his alma mater, leading the team to the NCAA's top honor in 2005 after a 12-year absence.

It seems that the performance of the players on the field has made this highly decorated veteran coach very satisfied. Williams gave a rare smile and looked in the direction of the north. Dark blue neighbors, are you ready?
