Chapter 47: Colin
Look at yourself in the mirror. Zhou Yang still had some doubts about whether he had chosen the wrong school. It's 2004 now. The first year of college is coming to an end. Now he doesn't know what to do other than cultural lessons.
This year, although North Carolina State University did not win the championship. But the team led by Bud is much stronger! They ended up being the runner-up this year!
The main idea of the head coach when he came to the school was that the players who joined the team in their first year would not get too much playing time. So Zhou Yang's average playing time in this year's games was only 5.1 minutes.
This playing time allowed him to average only 3.2 points, 1.5 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game...... Whether it is the team, the alumni, or the voice of the outside world, the most said is that they have ushered in a parallel Mr. Turquoise.
Some people just look at Zhou Yang's data and speak, but don't pay attention to his playing time! As a result, he felt a sense of powerlessness. So far, I haven't saved enough Awakening Stones needed to break through!
At that time, Zhou Yang saw that after the high school finals, he saw that the expectation value was 320,000+! But this still can't buy enough Awakening Stones! 1 Awakening Stone costs 1000 Soft Coin Coupons. And to break through to D-, you'll need 50 Awakening Stones!
Compared to the 5 Awakening Stones required to break through to E-, the number of Awakening Stones required for this breakthrough is still too large...... For this reason, Zhou Yang returned to the training hall immediately after finishing the day's course!
Training at school, training by yourself sometimes during the day and training at night in the house! But even so, he was overwhelmed by the NCAA when he fought so hard. The team that eliminated them this time was none other than North Carolina led by Boud!
Everything was calm now, but this calmness made Zhou Yang feel uncomfortable. Do you want to go to Penn State until you graduate and then look for a job? This question often crossed his mind.
At night, I suddenly dreamed that I was wearing a Blue Devils uniform. And at this time, Bud came over and said to him with a gloomy face, "Do you think I will still let you play?" As soon as this sentence came out, Zhou Yang immediately woke up!
Did you make a wrong decision by not agreeing to Bud at the time? Look at the nitani Lions jersey that has been washed. Zhou Yang sighed deeply, it was already morning.
"Didn't sleep well last night?" Linda had already returned from outside by this time. In the morning she would go out for a walk.
"It's okay, I'm thinking about when this semester will end" Zhou Yang's tone of voice at this time was a little unstable. He was a little tired of going to class day after day and then leaving class. What he wants to do most is wait for the next NCAA to start!
The head coach is not in school right now. He wanted to talk to the manager and give him more minutes.
"There are still some ready-made meals in the refrigerator, I'll warm them up," ignoring Zhou Yang's words, Linda opened the somewhat dilapidated refrigerator by herself, took out a few slices of bread in it, and then skillfully smeared a layer of butter on it.
"How are you feeling this semester at school?" Zhou Yang had already sat back in his chair at this time. The light in the room is a little dim now.
"It's not bad~ New partner~ The teacher is also good~ It's been a good semester~ Look at you, the two of us don't seem to be very different~" The little girl smiled at Zhou Yang, and then began to eat bread.
"I can't hide it from you. Sooner or later, I'm going to have to talk to the coach about it. Let's eat."
......
After watching Linda disappear from his sight with the school bus, the room returned to peace. Seeing the little girl's happy appearance made Zhou Yang's state relax a little.
Since that finals, my daily expected income has slowly decreased from nearly 12,000+ a day. By this season, there is only a sporadic income per day on average.
There are only two classes today. After finishing the game, Zhou Yang still came to the basketball hall. There are a lot of people who come here to play basketball, and Zhou Yang picked an empty field to start a day's training with a trainer who is already a good friend!
At this time, the players of the varsity team are basically either going out to play or playing games. Exams, games, falling in love, choosing some of your favorite classes to listen to, etc. They also want to go back to training. But that's until notice. After a day's training, they are not in much mood to do anything else~
"Look, that parallel Pennsylvania basketball gentleman is here again~ Do you want to be together?" Some of the students laughed and then spoke to someone who looked like a student of their age.
"No, I'll do it myself," Colin smiled lightly.
"I've seen him for a while, is he a newcomer in the arena or a teacher in which department?" The student on the other end asked inadvertently.
"I've only seen him in this arena anyway. The school is so big, whatever! Play Ball Play Ball! ”
Colin watched the sweaty Asian student train there vigorously. He has also been observing for a while. Every day he seems to come here to train when he has time!
"Hey" Colin was going to go over and say hello to him today. It's quite special to have only one student training in the whole arena. He learned from someone else that this guy used to be Mr. Pennsylvania Basketball!
"Hello! Forehead...... Sorry I didn't see you just now. If you don't mind, I still have a few minutes to finish," Zhou Yang was a little gasping when he spoke at this time.
"Well, I'm fine~ I have more time today~" Corey easily said hello to the trainer next to Zhou Yang and sat on the bench next to him.
......
"I'm sorry. I was just doing training. What did you just ask me? Zhou Yang had already wiped the sweat off his face at this time and took two bottles of mineral water. A bottle was handed to this guy who looked like a teacher.
Some of the teachers in the university now look younger than the students. So he didn't know what this person did.
"I haven't told anyone about it yet. I'm neither a teacher nor a student~ I just came here. My name is Colin. I asked, why don't you play with them? ”
"I'm training. Last season, I didn't feel like we were playing well, and our team was eliminated early. This upsets me. The coach didn't give me the time to do so...... Let's not talk about this, my name is Zhou Yang. You are...... Other schools? ”
The two of them know each other.
"You're referring to the National Collegiate Basketball League, right? Putting that aside, what do you think is wrong with your team? Colin ignored Zhou Yang's question. He is now interested in Zhou Yang, who is known as Mr. Parallel Basketball.
It can't be said that he can't play in the game. After all, with only about 5 minutes of playing time per game, how do you get him to play well?
"In the game, the opposing team still has fierce people. At this time, you can't always blindly play tactics. It is also necessary to develop some corresponding strategies for the opponent's strong players. Also, I feel that the team's form is still a little less positive. Coming here is like clocking in and out of work. The point is that it's still the kind where there's no money to be made~ It's just my own opinion"
"It's a little different from what I thought. I'm not from another school. Actually, I'm ......," Colin said, and suddenly his cell phone rang. So he made a "I'll take the phone" gesture. And Zhou Yang immediately made a gesture of "I'll continue training over there". Both of them nodded and went about their business.
"Since you're an ordinary person, let's continue to train yourself." Zhou Yang picked up the basketball while thinking about it and began to shoot the basketball.
"Well, I'm fine right now. It's still early for the national competition. I'd like to say upfront that I can join at any time if there is no problem with the salary. Haha, yes, if you want your team to become stronger, then you need more blood~"
