Chapter 615: Cousin, Can We Go to Purdue? (The first update of the fifth watch)
When the referees blew the whistle for the end of the game, the Buccaneers won the Eastern Supremacy on their home court.
Of course, it can be seen that the Pistons did not exert their strength in this game, their main lineup has four players on the injury list, and several players on the court did not work too hard.
This bit of face still has to be given to Richard......
If it's the playoffs right now, then this kind of thing will definitely not happen, everyone is running for the championship, how can you want to.
But at the moment it's the regular season, it doesn't matter, it's not a big deal to win one more game or one less win.
……
After the Pistons game, the next two months were a pretty good schedule for the Pistons.
There are very few teams in the league at the top level, and it is foreseeable that the Pirates will definitely play well in the next two months.
The next home game, Beasley took Durant to watch the game again, and it happened to be the weekend, and these high school students didn't matter.
Naturally, the coach of the team turned a blind eye to this, Beasley and Durant, who are now the signature stars of Oak Hill High School, and the coach is still counting on them to lead the team to win the state championship......
If these two boys are upset, it is not impossible for the two of them to defect to other schools en masse.
Beasley really did this kind of thing, and the two of them ran away to other schools in their senior year......
……
Last time, because it was the opening game, Richard had a lot of things to deal with after the game, so he didn't have time to talk to these two kids.
This time there was plenty of time, and the two arrived in Charlotte in the afternoon.
In Richard's office, the two boys sat nervously.
"You're Kevin, aren't you?" Richard looked at Durant and asked with a smile.
Durant is slightly taller than Beasley, but he looks thinner than Beasley.
Durant smiled and nodded, clutching his cuffs, his face flushed.
In the face of Richard's god-like existence in the basketball circle, Durant is quite nervous.
"That's right, cousin, he's Kevin Durant, my good friend."
"He told me before that his dream was to play at Purdue."
"Cousin, can the two of us go to Purdue together then?"
Beasley and Richard have met a few times, and now they are gradually letting go.
Richard was happy, these two boys were going to come to Purdue, so naturally they couldn't ask for it.
Needless to say, Durant would have been a proper champion if the '07 draft had not been for Oden.
It's really Oden's performance in the NCAA that is too buggy, plus he is an inside player, so he got the status of the top pick.
And Beasley, in fact, was also the favorite when he participated in the '08 draft.
Although Rose is said to be very good, at the time of the draft, he did not have an absolute advantage over Beasley.
But Beasley's terrible personality can be said to be notorious, which is why he is subservient to Rose.
If it weren't for the personality issues, no one knows what kind of achievements Beasley would have played.
This thing's talent is so strong, so strong that even Durant is ashamed of himself.
"Of course, when you graduate from high school, you can sign up for Purdue directly, and I'll say hello over there."
Richard said with a smile.
"Michael, there's something I need to talk to you about."
"Cousin, you say, I'll definitely listen to you." Beasley said solemnly, with a small face.
"Be patient and don't give up halfway."
"Also, learn the tactical system well in Oak Hill, don't always mix in street basketball, that will not do you any good in your future career."
"You have to learn from Kevin, he should be a role model for you."
Richard reminisced about Beasley's career and gave him a rather important piece of advice.
If there are too many differences between Beasley and Durant, there are so many differences, and in terms of style of play, the two are also very different.
Durant can be said to be the kind of good boy player that the coach likes the most, he can strictly implement the tactics assigned by the coach, and of course, he can also use his lethal attack to save the situation in some special moments.
But Beasley is different, this thing is a complete wild way to play......
Tactical system? Inexistent.
The word tactics didn't come to his mind at all, and he played completely on his own consciousness.
If such a player is a top superstar, then some coaches can put up with it......
It's just that some coaches can tolerate it, like some meritorious veteran coaches, they definitely can't bear it.
For example, now Richard can't stand this kind of wanton player on the field.
Beasley has never been given the opportunity to become a supergiant, and naturally no coach can tolerate such a player.
Richard's advice to Beasley now is to ditch the wild path and study steadily at Oak Hill, a basketball school, which will definitely be good for his future.
Oak Hill High School's status in the American basketball community is almost equivalent to that of UCLA, the mecca of NCAA basketball.
Of course, Purdue University is also improving, and it may not take long to snatch the title of basketball mecca from UCLA.
These veteran basketball schools all have their own mature tactical systems, and there may even be more than one, with several mature tactical systems.
If Beasley can calm down and study hard, his career may not be so miserable in the future.
……
Durant was dumbfounded, Richard actually mentioned his name?!
Could it be that he has been keeping an eye on himself? Otherwise, why should Beasley set an example of himself?
Whether it's Beasley or Durant, they are the best of the high school players, and even if Richard pays attention to them, it's actually quite normal.
Durant's little heart is now pounding, and the whole person is trembling with excitement.
Richard, a god-like existence, has been paying attention to himself, and has given himself a good evaluation, even making his cousin think of himself as an example.
For a moment, Durant felt himself floating, and it was a wonderful feeling.
……
Beasley was stunned, how could his cousin know so much about himself?
The coaches who have coached him must have been aware of the problem Richard was talking to about it more than once.
But Beasley's unruly temperament could not have listened.
In his opinion, if you can win, it's over, you don't care how I play......
But now that Richard has raised the issue again, Beasley has to pay attention to it.
"Cousin, don't worry, I'll pay attention to this, I won't let you down." Beasley said with a determined face.
Richard nodded, I hope so, Beasley's own look at it is a pity, if his words can really save Beasley's career, then he can be regarded as a great achievement.
"By the way, cousin, can you make this relationship between us public?"
Beese looked at Richard expectantly.
"Yes, of course, it's not something to be seen ......"
"Unless you think it's a shame to have a cousin like me......," Richard said with a laugh.
He could understand Beasley's current thoughts, although Beasley had a father and a mother, but the life he had lived as a child was basically no different from that of an orphan.
Now that there was such a relative as Richard, and such a prominent relative in basketball circles, young Beasley had the urge to make a statement to the world.
He could imagine how shocked his teammates and coaches would be when he made the news public.
Durant, on the side, looked at Beasley with envy.
He wondered in his heart, why didn't he have a cousin like Richard......
No, I have to go back to the old photo album, and maybe I can have something to do with Richard.
