As a Catholic Jesuit university in Philadelphia, St. Joseph's University's EMBA program is ranked 20th in the country. Graduate programs in Marketing, Accounting, Finance, and Management are ranked 20th, 23rd, 23rd, and 24th in the country, respectively. In 2011, it was ranked 19th in the undergraduate program of Marketing. It is a prestigious school in the country and is very competitive. But basketball is a different story, it has not reached the round of 64 of the NCAA basketball league for the first time in 32 years, and it is also the bottom of the Great East League.

Things have changed now because the varsity team has recruited a high school genius this time, and he is Kyle Lowry. In addition to Kyle's high school teammate, Smith Cowai, a big interior man who is nearly seven feet tall and has great potential, and Larry Bergratz, a 6.6-foot-tall pitcher, is also very good, with the body, the confrontation and the defense. Coupled with the original team, Martelley is confident that he will leave the vice-president seat and move towards the middle or upstream. By next year, the lineup will be well connected, with a good record, and a few more good players will be attracted to enter the NCAA Championship.

Today is the first day of the training camp and the day of the school opening. Martelley was in a good mood right now, looking at the young lads, he smiled, cleared his throat and started his first lecture of the new season.

"It's the beginning of a new season, we're back together, we're going to forget about the misfortunes of the past, we're going to take on new challenges, everything will be different because we've added a couple of new looks with a lot of potential, and I need you to stick together, do your best, try to improve, and play every game. So now, let me introduce you to our new people this year. "Matleley doesn't have a high voice, but he has a different kind of contagion." Kyle Lowry, our new leader, I'm sure you've all heard of him, he's very strong, he's strong, he's tough, he's got an elite level defense, he's capable of anything, and I'm sure he'll get us out of this situation. ”

The audience applauded thunderously. The name of a man, the bark of a tree! As a talented high school student in Philadelphia, everyone has heard of it, and the fame shows that his strength has been tempered repeatedly, and his skills can stand the test. For this team of mediocre half-people, Kyle is their tranquilizer, his arrival has regained their confidence and belief, he is the backbone of last year's league vice squad leader, his fame has successfully helped him determine the position of leader, no one will be unconvinced! At least they didn't have disbelief written on their faces.

After introducing the new students, Martelley gave another impassioned speech, the young men responded neatly, with a momentum like a rainbow, and the old man nodded secretly, and then disbanded the free activities, so that the young people could get to know each other.

The first few days were just a simple warm-up, and the time passed quickly, and Kyle basically got an idea of the strength of the group. Now there are twelve people on the roster, except for the three new students, only three of the old team members have the strength of his magic eyes. Kelly, the captain of this year's senior year, plays as a power forward, is 6.7 feet tall, tall and powerful, explosive, and fast, and is one of the five starting tigers last year. But his offensive skills are rough, dunks are his only offensive means, and he is good at defense and blocking, especially chasing blocks.

Martin, last year's starting point guard, a junior this year, is 6.4 feet tall and is also a defensive player, fast, athletic, average offensive ability with the ball, poor basic skills, cutting dunks and layups are his strengths, and he also does a good job on the counter-attack.

Last year's playmaker guard, 6.1 feet tall, physically sluggish, and weak, is a white guy, a sophomore this year, with the advantage of being good at three-point and pull-up jump shots, and qualified playmaking. The disadvantage is that he is extremely unstable, and his biting close defense will often make him at a loss, with poor confrontation, many mistakes, and difficult breakthroughs. His starting spot will be replaced by Kyle this year, and of course, the bench role may be more suitable for him.

As for the rest, it's pretty ordinary. Rookie Larry Bergratz is a projection player who can run, jump and defend, but he has poor ball handling, many turnovers, instability, and a hot head, and is an emotional player.

Smith has a hand shot, but his confrontation is poor, his athleticism is poor, his strength is poor, he can't dribble, he makes mistakes, his feet are slow, and his shortcomings are a basket. But his height is there, a natural barrier to defense.

Overall, the strength of these teammates is very poor, and the top starters are at an average level in the entire university, and even the strength of the substitutes in those elite schools. This conclusion was reached because Kyle knew his own strength very well, he didn't belong to the top group in high school, and he could only be at the upper middle level in college.

As the brain of the team, the leader of the team, he must do more and better, he must first be familiar with and observe the strengths, weaknesses and characteristics of each teammate, so as to facilitate the tacit understanding in the game and strive to win. Now this team will be led by him, and the NCAA tournament is his minimum goal. Given the limited strength of his teammates, he always has a sense of urgency, coming early and leaving late every day to practice shooting, especially three-point shooting. Kyle knows his shortcomings, the three-point difference is ridiculous, the jump shot is inconsistent, and after two months of special training, it's time to deliver on the results, but it takes a long time to ponder and practice.

In two months, he has cultivated a sense of qi, his wrists and fingers are no longer so stiff, but he still can't completely grasp the feel of the ball, the shooting feels very awkward, and the unguarded three-point shooting rate still stays around 50%. Of course, there are also a lot of gains, he has more strength, more explosiveness, higher bounce, faster speed, better flexibility, longer endurance, etc., although the changes are very small, but he really feels it. The most important thing is that he has actually grown taller, originally wearing shoes is 6.0 feet, that is, 1.83 meters, and now the net height is the same as wearing shoes before, this change makes him very happy.

The cultivation can't be stopped, the training must be strengthened, and the group competition will start tomorrow, and it's time to show your strength. Everything seems to be very normal, Kyle has basically been in the arena since he came to St. Joseph's University, accompanied by basketball, and his life is simple and fulfilling, eating, sleeping, and training every day. But most of the people in the school team are not so well-behaved, especially those old fritters, usually training is hard enough, they allocate more spare time to women's belly, as for the extra training, there is no door, not late and lazy, it is a blessing to invite heaven. Kyle secretly shook his head in his heart, how can there be such a good thing about these people, poor talent and hard work, but they want to enter the NBA to make a lot of money? But he can't control it, everyone has their own life choices, he can only be himself.
