Chapter 48: The Beginning of a New Season

S-Rank Player Growth Template Card: Deacon Bey. Mutombo!

Who is Mutombo?

A well-known defensive center in NBA history, a master of blocks, his most classic move is to shake his fingers after completing the block on the opponent.

No. 2 on the all-time block list! He won 4 NBA Defensive Player of the Year, 3 NBA Defensive Teams, 8 All-Stars, and averaged 9.8 points, 10.3 rebounds, and 2.7 blocks per game in his career.

Such a brilliant resume does not disappoint the S-level player evaluation given by the system.

Not blowing or black, just looking at the defensive ability, Mutombo can definitely be considered at the historical level, and if it weren't for the poor talent in attack, his achievements could have been even higher.

At present, the strongest defense in the Harvard team is Jeremy Lin, who uses the Kidd template card, and Plain, who uses the Battier template card, and it is with the two of them that Wang Xiao has built the entire Harvard defensive system into a solid one.

But compared to Mutombo, neither man's defense is nothing.

Battier won't mention it, although Kidd has defended more times than Mutombo, but he has never won the best defensive player with the highest gold content, and the selection conditions for the defensive team are the best defensive players in each position, and Kidd competes with the point guard of the entire league, and the defensive team that competes with Mutombo is Duncan, Garnett, these historical interior lines.

A defensive team of Mutombo, Kidd and Battier? OMG......

In the past two days, in the daily training, many players were surprised to find that the coach always grinned when he had nothing to do, as if he had encountered something particularly happy.

Jack is also strange, because Wang Xiao's focus in the past two days has always been on some big players.

Harvard's NCAA runner-up finish immediately attracted the attention of many high school students, but since the school still has special athletic scholarships, the truly talented players are more likely to choose those colleges with generous scholarships.

Although this year's recruitment work has also recruited a few big men over 2.10 meters, they are all stupid big men, with very good skills and slow moving speed, which is not as good as Wang Prian continuing to make cameo appearances in the inside.

Jack naturally didn't know that Wang Xiao was paying attention to these big men because he wanted to find a suitable candidate for his Mutombo template card.

Since the template card can directly change the potential of the target, it doesn't matter how talented the player is, what matters is whether he is serious about his training attitude.

After all, after using the Player Development Template Card, a player will not immediately become a top defensive player like Mutombo, he will need a lot of practice, play and study to develop his potential.

The more diligent a player is in training, the faster he can develop the potential that the growth template card gives him.

Jeremy Lin and Plain are the most direct examples.

After a week of observation, Wang Xiao targeted a black guy.

John. Dunn, a freshman, is 2.13 meters tall, has good physical fitness, has always been very motivated on the court, trains very hard, and most importantly, ...... Wang Xiao found that this young man was very humble, somewhat similar to Plain, not at all like many black guys, who smoked marijuana with gangsters at a young age.

After determining the good candidate, Wang Xiao made a separate appointment with Dunn in the office, and expressed that he was very optimistic about him, hoping that he could train seriously, and if he performed well, he would not rule out making him the main force of the team after the start of the new season.

Not surprisingly, Dunn was very surprised, even a little ecstatic.

Choosing Harvard University, Dunn was actually quite unhappy.

Because his family conditions are not particularly good, it is very similar to him getting a scholarship to support his family.

However, he has been to many schools with scholarships, and basically none of them are willing to ask for him.

In desperation, he came to Harvard University, which is currently recognized as the strongest among the universities without scholarships.

Unexpectedly, not long after he came here to join the school team, he was valued by the head coach.

Wang Xiao has long since lost the nickname of the madman he was at the beginning, and the three examples of Durant, Jeremy Lin, and Plain have made many people realize that Wang Xiao's vision is actually very good.

can be valued by Wang Xiao and prove that he still has potential!

Dunn actually didn't know that the reason why Wang Xiao took a fancy to him was not his talent, but his character and hard-working and serious attitude.

But it doesn't matter anymore, with the S-Rank Player Growth Template Card coming into effect, the teenager named Dunn is about to start his illustrious basketball career.

Mutombo's potential, hard-working and serious character, with a little bit of luck, makes Dunn a Hall of Fame-caliber basketball player in the future!

With the use of Mutombo's growth template card, Wang Xiao's staff already has three NBA players.

Jeremy Lin, who used the SS-level Kidd growth card.

Dunn of the S-Class Mutombo Growth Card.

B-level Battier Growth Card of Plain.

Judging from the lineup, Wang Xiao's Harvard varsity team has completely lost to those top NCAA teams, and if he plays another game against Rose's University of Memphis, Wang Xiao is confident that he can beat the opponent without using any system props.

However, the current strength of Memphis is not as good as before.

Rose was declared a draft pick in the NBA and became the top pick.

And with his partner at the University of Memphis, Roberts also ran for the NBA Draft.

It's a pity that although Roberts, who is the strongest duo in Memphis with Rose, and has an average of even higher points per game than Rose, is not high in the NBA draft.

Unlike Rose, who had unlimited potential, Roberts didn't have much potential to rise in the eyes of many scouts, and he was eventually drafted by the Nets with the 40th pick in the second round.

Without these two cores, the strength of the University of Memphis fell a notch in an instant, and the league has not yet started, and it has fallen out of the top 20 in the national college rankings ranked by major media.

Correspondingly, Harvard University, which has soared all the way to the fifth place in the United States.

Almost everyone thinks Harvard, who retains their runners-up squad, will be the favourites to win next season.

And so it is.

Time flies, and soon, summer and autumn pass in a blink of an eye.

A new round of league games is in full swing.

Harvard, as many expected, is invincible in the Ivy League.

In the first round of the league, facing the second-place team in the league last season, Harvard handed over a jaw-dropping answer to the nation.

At 36:83, Harvard beat its opponent by 47 points!

Such a huge point difference set a new record for the largest point difference in the Ivy League, and the 36 points in the whole game also broke the league's lowest scoring record in a single game!

The whole United States is shocked!
