Chapter 38: Holland's News

(Thank you for the confusion of the stars, the brocade clothes and the guard, and the great god ruler for their continued support.) )

Thomas, who was promoted to the main point guard of the school team in the new semester, looked at Glenn and Sun Yi who were entangled together, and his heart was very shocked. Obviously, the physical strength of the two has run out, but neither of them chose to give up, and they are gritting their teeth and persisting in this fierce battle.

Glenn pouted his ass and dribbled with his back to the ball, at this time he was no longer able to make more offensive moves, relying entirely on instinct, using his strength and height, trying to push under the basket to complete the attack.

Sun Yi was hit by the opponent's huge buttocks and kept retreating, and he had little physical strength left, so he relied on the breath in his mouth to support his defensive movements.

Finally, Glenn, who squeezed under the basket, stretched out his left arm to protect the ball he was holding in his right hand. Throw the ball with a hook that resembles a child's beginner's move.

The tired Sun Yi watched the ball fly past his fingertips, but he was powerless to stop it. Boom! Swish! Glenn's shot goes to the basket.

Call! Call! Call! …… After Glenn's winning goal, the two teenagers lay on the floor gasping for air.

"Hey! Dude, what did you TM eat? The physical strength is too good. Glenn, who drooped his eyelids, said weakly.

"Damn, it's worse than your animal." After Sun Yi finished speaking, he took the water bottle handed over by Thomas and poured it violently, huh! Satisfied, he burped.

Glenn didn't laugh angrily, and split his wide mouth, "Boy, don't try to beat me. Glenn. Sampson's invincible ......"

Sun Yi, who pouted, ignored the friend who entered the YY state, got up from the floor and walked straight to the locker room.

Whoa! Bath water at the right temperature squirted out of the shower head and slowly flowed down the boy's muscular body. The stiff muscles gradually relaxed, and Sun Yi's mind recalled the process of going head-to-head with Glenn just now.

At the beginning, Sun Yi's combination of throwing and breaking was very good, and Glenn had to be wary of his long shots and his sharp breakthroughs, and often took care of one and the other. Sun Yi focused on guarding against Glenn's breakthrough and allowing the opponent to play a long shot that he was not good at.

At the beginning of the confrontation between the two, Sun Yi took the lead all the way.

As one's physical fitness begins to decline, the efficiency of shooting and breaking through gradually decreases. Glenn changed his attacking style, taking advantage of his height and weight, and approached the basket to hit Sun Yi. Constantly expanding the score, the two formed a tug-of-war.

Until his physical strength was exhausted and he was unable to attack, Glenn was still able to use his strength advantage to score under the basket, causing Sun Yi to lose the final score.

Thinking of this, Sun Yi already knew how he lost this heads-up. In the crucial stalemate stage, I didn't have more effort and grasp the means of higher scoring.

You can't use your physical advantage like Glenn to get closer to the rim and shoot. His mid-range is also under the interference of the opponent, and he cannot guarantee a stable hit rate.

Glenn's strengths are obvious, height and strength. What about yourself? I guess it's the shooting feel. If you can avoid the opponent's strengths, playing to your own strengths is the key to defeating your opponent.

After filtering the killer features of those famous stars in my brain, I found that the only thing that suited me was the god of basketball - Michael. Jordan's turnaround and step-back jumper.

However, people know that there is no solution to this trick. But there are a few people who can practice to the level of freedom of Qiao Dashen, maybe Kobe Bryant is half.

Anyway, go home and look for videos on the Internet. Let's practice first, at least I have one more weapon in my hand to deal with Glenn.

I have to say, Glenn. Sampson's existence forces this competitive Oriental teenager to constantly challenge his limits. It also made him stronger and laid a solid foundation for his future blockbuster.

In the basketball hall of the University of California, Los Angeles, the players are explaining the tactics of Ben. Coach Holland suddenly received a phone call, and after seeing the number of the caller, handed the team over to the assistant coach.

Leaving the noisy arena, Holland answers the phone. "Hello, this is Ben. Holland. ”……

“……”

"Huh? What the? ”

“……”

"Really? Are you sure? ”

After receiving an affirmative answer from the other party, Coach Holland looked excited. Instead of returning to the stadium, he walked straight to his office.

Dhoni. Bowers was sitting in front of his computer, sorting through the contents of the notebook. Bell bell bell! A pleasant ringing of the mobile phone rang.

When he took a closer look, he muttered, "This guy is so free to call me." The caller's name is none other than UCLA's head coach Ben. Holland, the two met a few years ago when Holland was still a head coach at the University of Pittsburgh.

Because of Bowers' status in the national high school basketball world, the connection between the two has never been broken. However, shouldn't Holland be busy tuning his team of minions?

Curiously connected to the phone, a familiar voice came through the receiver. "Hey! How's it going, old man? "Bowers wondered what happy thing about the UCLA Bruins, who had a mess this year, made Holland, as the head coach, so happy." I think you should still be concerned about yourself and when you will receive your termination contract. In front of old acquaintances, Powers didn't mind tearing open each other's scars.

"I got an inside message." Holland obviously doesn't care about the sarcasm of his old friends, "The NBA will announce a big news recently, and this year will be the last time this league will allow high school graduates to participate directly in the draft. In the future, the NBA will require that you must graduate from high school at least one year before you can participate in the draft. ”

Wow! This is really 'blockbuster' news, "Are you sure?" Bowers asked, somewhat incredulous.

"Absolutely reliable, I believe that it won't be long before your phone will be blown up by my peers." Holland replied in the affirmative.

Bowers took a deep breath and calmed some of his fluctuating emotions. If it's really like what my friend said, then these high school students will face a situation where they have no ball to play a year after graduation. Unless -- go on to college, continue your basketball career in the NCAA, or play in the European professional leagues. However, he believes that most high school students will choose the NCAA.

In fact, the NBA's decision was also a reluctant move. Although in recent years, the overseas commercial development of the alliance has been very successful. Both popularity and business income are growing year by year.

However, most people in the United States still recognize the NCAA more, and it is also a reserve talent pool for the NBA. In recent years, many highly popular high school students have directly crossed the college to participate in the NBA draft, which makes the NCAA very unhappy. Once the opponent is provoked, the impact on the NBA will be unimaginable.

On the other hand, the owners of many NBA teams, in order to reduce their own spending on team salaries, also oppose high school students entering the league directly. If, the younger the age at which a player enters the league. Then these bosses will pay more and more dollars in the future.

Take Kobe. Bryant, for example, just signed a six-year, $70.9 million contract with the Lakers this year. If nothing else, when this contract expired, Kobe Bryant in 2010 was only 32 years old and at the peak of his career. And if it were to renew his contract again, no one would dare to imagine how much the Lakers would have to spend to keep the team's star player.

This is still the Lakers, who are not bad for money, and there are many small teams that can't make ends meet, what should they do?

So, this decision was made. It is the product of the compromise after the game of many interest groups. Because, the NBA is a business field.

"Dhoni, are you there?" Holland, who was on the other end of the phone, didn't hear a response for a long time.

"Yes, I'm here." Bowers came back to his senses, "Say, what do you want from me?" ”

"Profiles of the best high school students in Illinois." Holland spoke to his old friend, very straightforwardly. "Especially those two kids from Timothy High School."

If you want to say the best high school student in Illinois, probably Dhoni. Bowers had to rummage through his crumpled notebook. When he heard about the two kids from Timothy High School, he was all too familiar.

"Glenn, a senior in high school this year. Sampson, I'm sure he's going straight to the draft. And it's very likely that you'll be picked in the lotto area, and your Bruins won't play. Bowers picked up the instant coffee on the table, moistened his throat and continued: "The other, Sun Yi, who is in the third year of high school, I'm afraid you will face a lot of competitors. ”

Without waiting for the other party to ask, he explained directly: "You know, that stubborn Chris. Boehly? "Yes, it's that old stubbornness that made this Chinese genius the main force this year. Do you know what kind of stats the Chinese boy got in the ten games that the Trojans just finished this season? ”

Speaking of excitement, Bowers directly threw away the notebook in his hand and raised his voice significantly. "He played an average of 35 minutes per game and scored 28 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists." After a pause, "Oh! By the way, there were also 2 blocks and 4 steals. ”

Sun Yi's physical fitness has improved greatly since the summer devil training, and he is almost the same as his perverted teammate Glenn. Now, he's playing full matches at a high school level very casually. This improvement is reflected in the fact that he is almost everywhere in the game, both offensively and defensively.

Maybe in the last shot, he also made a wonderful block under his own basket. The next shot could be a wonderful slam dunk in the fast break.

"Oh! God, I didn't expect him to grow so fast. Holland was obsessed with this Chinese boy at last year's Nike Tour in Los Angeles.

"However, I have another candidate here, and it's also very good. If you're interested, you can send someone to take a look. After receiving an affirmative answer, Bowers continued: "Derek. Ross, a sophomore at Simeon High School. Last year's data, he averaged 16 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists per game. This year, it is 24 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists. This kid is currently leading Simeon High School to a complete victory. Of course, they hadn't met Timothy High School yet. ”

Holland hurriedly took out a pen and recorded the basic information of the two children in a rustling notebook.
