013: Rumors in the rivers and lakes (ask for recommendation and collection)
After an unusual trip to Portland, Wayne and Cody finally made it back to Stillwater at noon the next day.
Cody fell asleep last night when he returned to his dorm room due to overindulgence.
But if Wayne went to help him take the pressure off last night, Cody wouldn't have done that.
However, after seeing Cody's state today, Wayne was only glad that he didn't go yesterday.
He knew that the girls in Cordieo were not fuel-efficient lamps.
It seems that Cody won't be able to go to class all day today.
Wayne took a nap and arrived at the classroom on time in the afternoon.
Wayne knew that it would not be easy for his family to support himself to study abroad, so he still had to take the classes he should take.
In the afternoon, when Wayne went to class, as soon as he entered the classroom door, he vaguely felt that something was strange.
After sitting in the position, I still felt uncomfortable.
Eventually, Wayne noticed that the people in the classroom seemed to look at him every now and then muttered something to himself.
Wayne couldn't help but touch his face, there was nothing on his face.
When Wayne first entered the school, there was a time when he was really eye-catching because of his height and skin color.
But as time went on, the classmates gradually became less and less surprised by Wayne.
But today, Wayne felt like he was back in his freshman year, as if the whole class was quietly discussing himself.
Are you all amnesia? How can you see me like you're meeting a stranger?
Frustrated, Wayne went straight to the training gym after class, but as he walked along the way, Wayne felt as if everyone around him was staring at him.
Is it a psychological effect?
No, Wayne doesn't think he's a narcissist.
Of course, Wayne has always felt that he is very good looking now, but ...... It's not narcissism, it's a fact!
"Damn, I'm not dressed strangely today. Haven't you ever seen a handsome Asian? Labor and management have been in this school for a year, and it is the first time to see me? Wayne complained in his heart as he walked.
It's still quite uncomfortable to walk on the road under the eyes of others.
As he passed an open-air basketball court, Wayne noticed that the people who were playing inside had stopped their movements and looked at him.
One of the black buddies also strode to the sideline and waved at Wayne through the barbed wire.
"Hey, Way! You're amazing, you're going to be able to lead us to the league championship next season, right!? ”
Wayne:???
What's going on? Why is everyone inexplicable!?
Shouldn't it be Mr. Tony's task to lead the team to win the championship?
Also, when did you become so powerful in the eyes of alumni? Isn't there still a game left this season?
"Hey, is he Way? I remember he was just a substitute last season, huh? ”
"You're stupid, people can grow, maybe that guy's potential hasn't been tapped yet!"
"That's it, look at Yao, didn't he play badly in the first few games when he first entered the league? If you look at it now, even Shaq has to fight him with all his might. ”
Listening to the discussion of passers-by, Wayne became more and more confused.
Could it be that the thing that has become stronger has been exposed?
But the training in recent days has been closed, and it is impossible for alumni to know their level.
In this inexplicable atmosphere, Wayne walked to the door of the Gallaher-Abba Arena and happened to see Tony. Aaron came from the other end.
"Tony!" Wayne said hello, and he finally didn't have to be alone in the face of everyone's strange stares.
As everyone knows, after Mr. Tony saw Wayne, his eyes were different from usual.
"Wayne, you're awesome, buddy! Really, really? What the hell was going on last night? "Tony. Aaron ran to Wayne like a little fan, his eyes full of admiration.
"Uh...... Last night...... What's wrong? Wayne was dizzy.
"Last night in Portland, don't you know? You defeat Rashid. Wallace's story has spread throughout the school! You're low-key, Wayne. ”
"Huh? Spread? ”
I see!
Wayne said why it was weird today, and it felt like everyone was staring at him. It's been a long day, and it's this thing that makes trouble.
However, in 2003, online media was not very developed. Wayne was curious to see what had happened last night......
As we all know, in this era of underdeveloped networks, rumors can spread, and it is very likely that a Portland fan called his cousin in Jingshui City to tell him about it, and then spread ten, ten and hundred.
If it is often passed on, the story will become very different from the facts.
Charlatan rumors Grant. Hill once led a sparring team of college students to defeat the Dream Team, but only God knows if it's true.
Garnett was rumored to be able to touch the top edge of the rebound, and many people still believe it.
It is rumored that Carter's death buckle in Sydney directly deducted the family, but in fact, that guy has been playing well all the time.
There are still people who believe the rumor that Mutombo is less than 40 years old, which is even more unreasonable, no matter how you look at it, it is 50!
Why in the 80s, 90s and early 21st century, the NBA gave birth to so many classic trash talks, as if every NBA player could make witty words.
And after that, the classic trash talk is becoming less and less?
Because most of these subtle trash talk in the process of dissemination have been reprocessed or simply carefully fabricated.
But because the network is underdeveloped and undocumented, most fans will believe it.
All in all, in this day and age, most of the rumors have an element of being exaggerated.
"Rumors...... What to say about mine? Thinking of this, Wayne cautiously asked Tony.
"Rumor has it that you put Rashid. Wallace was so suppressed that he couldn't lift his head. And in a defense, he also covered Rashid! Is this true, Wayne? What's it like to play with NBA players? ”
"Rub, sure enough......." Wayne was speechless, when did he crush Wallace so much that he couldn't lift his head......
and Tony. After Allen walked into the training gym together, several Cowboys players also gathered around Wayne.
From them, Wayne learned several more versions of the story.
"What, I heard Wayne is in Rashid. Wallace dunked a basket on his head. ”
"Your news must be fake, I heard that two were deducted!"
"Nonsense! Wayne hit a three-pointer and then gave the ball to Rashid, but then blocked Rashid. ”
Listening to the strange stories in the mouths of his teammates, Wayne had to sigh at the imagination of fans in this era.
These rumors are outrageous!
It's a waste of talent not to go to China to write online articles.
In the end, everyone looked at Wayne expectantly, hoping to hear the truth from him.
Wayne was a little embarrassed to break their illusions in front of everyone.
"Well, it's not as exaggerated as you say, although I did defeat Rashid, but ......"
Wayne hadn't finished speaking, but as soon as he heard "I did defeat Rashid", everyone had a collective orgasm.
"Look, I'll just tell you it's true! He really won, Wayne he really pressed Rashid to the point where he couldn't hold his head up! ”
"Wocao, it's too good, so he really deducted Rashid!"
"It's incredible, that's Rashid. Wallace, how did he make such a big fuss? ”
What the hell am I ......
Wayne is messy, hey, are you listening to me say it well......
It's easy for the rumors to spread, but it's very difficult to take them back.
Yes, there is another century of unsolved cases in the history of basketball.
From today onwards, a new rumor has begun to spread in the basketball circle.
An unknown NCAA player defeated All-Star forward Rashid in a one-on-one heads-up. Wallace.
For a while, even the general managers of various teams heard about it.
In the stands of the Gallaher-Ayba Arena in the new season, there will definitely be a lot of NBA scouts.
At this time, Sutton and his son were looking through the office window, looking at Wayne who was surrounded by his teammates.
"You really believe he beat Rashid. Wallace? Sean stared at the Chinese student in disbelief, almost thinking he had something wrong with his ears when he heard the rumors this morning.
"Of course it can't be, Sean, that's one of the best power forwards in the league." Old Sutton smiled, he knew better than anyone how good Wayne was at the moment.
The rumors must have been exaggerated.
Even if Wayne did win against Wallace, the process would definitely not be as divine as people had rumored.
But whether Wayne won Wallace or not was not the point at all in Sutton's view.
The point is that Wayne's progress over this period of time is indeed visible to the naked eye.
His level has improved by leaps and bounds compared to last season.
If Wayne can succeed in gaining muscle this month, then, in Sutton's mind, Wayne is fully capable of playing as the starting power forward next season and competing in the Division I games!
While Wayne's current low-post offense is still almost meaningless, Sutton Sr. doesn't mind letting Wayne shoot beyond the three-point line when attacking.
This is indeed a very bold idea, but Sutton has thought about it carefully, if Wayne can pull the offense outside the three-point line, he can still give Toney. Aaron has enough room to break through.
One inside and one outside, it's simply a golden combination!
"Sean, you're going to contact a couple of teams these days. Starting next month, we will have to play a few warm-up games one after another. ”
"Okay, what are the requirements for the invited team?"
"The requirement was to be able to test the quality of our new starters. It's best to have a strong point on the inside and in the second position. I wanted to see how far Wayne and Tony could go. ”
"Tony and Wayne? Have you really decided to put him in the starting line-up? ”
Old Sutton rubbed his hands, "Or else? Now, it's not just us who expect from him. After that rumor spreads, the new season will be very lively. ”
With Sutton's cowboys, it's time to go out and do a big job.
As for the biggest stumbling block, the P.J. Tucker from the University of Texas...... Well, Sutton felt that the other party had become less scary.
