Chapter 8 Isolation

"This kid is ruthless!" Wu Huang's fierce cap this time made Gibson's impression of him completely change, this seemingly polite guy, there is a ruthlessness in his body.

DeRozan fell to the ground in embarrassment, and Emperor Wu directly pressed him down from the air, like swatting flies, which is the most humiliating way to cover the quilt.

The center of the red team, Mohammed, grabbed the basketball, and Wu Huang ran to the front court first, reaching out for the ball.

Muhammad threw the basketball at Wu Huang, and the red team fought back again!

Wu Huang received the ball and dribbled it to the front court, only Mu Jiajin followed by him, but Wu Huang was firmly blocked with his body and couldn't break the basketball.

Mu Jiajin sighed secretly in his heart, Wu Huang's dribbling is not good, but it is very practical and smart, using his body to separate him, until the final layup. If he forcibly blocked, it would definitely be a foul, and if he didn't do it, he would be beaten into two plus one, and Mu Jiajin could only watch Wu Huang score the basketball.

Wu Huang's ball control skills really can't be said to be good, yesterday's improvement was only the ball sense, and the passing and control skills were still at the previous level, but the improvement of the ball sense made him more proficient in the use of his original skills, and his hard work is now really seeing the effect, and the basic skills are not like words.

Before his ball sense improved, he could have lost the ball when he was hit, but now even if Mujagin doesn't stop interfering with him with his body, Wu Huang can still control the basketball steadily. This is the memory of countless boring training sessions that has brought to his body, and it is a treasure buried in his body, which he did not have to open before, because the key to opening is the ball sense.

Floyd saw Wu Huang's performance, he has 3 years of NBA coaching experience, so he knows best, don't look at Wu Huang's ball control is not fancy, but it is this unpretentious dribbling that is really practical. This kid's fundamentals are solid, and it is impossible to do without boring training day after day, and only this technique can be used after entering the NBA.

It was Wu's first score of the game, and he then focused on tandem and defence, and his performance was in stark contrast to DeRozan on the other side.

DeRozan was slapped from the sky by Emperor Wu's head and face, and this time the blood cap made his mentality completely unbalanced, and the antipathy for Emperor Wu in his heart quickly rose to the point of no return. In this training game, DeRozan has always wanted to get back the block just now, and on the offensive end, he is a lone wolf, and when he gets the blue ball, he has to shoot, he has to break through, and he has to attack.

With such a mentality and such a performance, it is no wonder that DeRozan can have an excellent performance, but his opponent is a seasoned college player, no longer a high school student who has been circled.

Wu Huang deliberately performed the opposite of DeRozan in this game, he deliberately suppressed his desire to shoot, rarely shot, and tried his best to assist his teammates to score, which made DeRozan even more mature as him.

Nathan Booch was the happiest player on the red team, and with the help of Wu Huang, he completely pressed DeRozan under him on the offensive end. The latter's uncool mentality also allowed Nathan to interfere with DeRozan's shooting in a row on the defensive end, making DeRozan only hand in an embarrassing 2-of-11 shooting in the 15-minute training game in the first half.

The training match lasted only 15 minutes, and Floyd cancelled the second half.

DeRozan's poor performance in the first half made him not want to watch it anymore, and he also had doubts about this first-year genius, if DeRozan's training in the next half month did not meet his requirements, Floyd did not even plan to let this genius play the starter directly, and he would work out for a while.

The contrast between the two first-year players today is very stark, in the 15-minute game, Wu Huang got 8 points, 2 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, 1 block and 1 turnover, and DeRozan only got 6 points, 2 rebounds, 0 assists, 1 steal, 1 block and 4 turnovers.

Even if you don't look at the performance, just look at the data, DeRozan is already several levels behind Wu Huang, and if you look at the shooting percentage, Floyd can't bear to look at it directly.

Wu Huang made 4 shots, one mid-range miss, one layup, and two three-point shots, which was extremely efficient.

DeRozan made 11 shots, hitting only one dunk and one layup, and only made 2 of 4 free throws, missing all the rest of the shots.

"Well done, welcome to the Trojans." Gibson took the initiative to step forward and pat Wu Huang on the shoulder after the training match.

"Thank you, I will continue to work hard." Wu Huang was very happy, and Gibson's attitude showed that he really accepted himself. It's important that Gibson is the soul of USC, the leader of the locker room, and even if he becomes the heart of the team, he has to listen to the captain on and off the court.

DeRozan would be blushing, alone on the side, sulking and silent, suffering more today than he had in all four years of high school combined.

The rest of the Trojans also came up to greet Wu Huang and praise him for his performance, but no one comforted DeRozan.

Gibson was more mature, and found DeRozan standing alone, and went up to comfort the black guy who was behaving badly, which made DeRozan's face look better. However, after this training match, DeRozan no longer took the initiative to talk to Wu Huang, and the eyes looking at him were also very unfriendly.

"Looks like I've offended my new teammates." Wu Huang said helplessly next to Nathan Booch, the team's former main No. 2 player.

"Don't care, that's how the game is." Nathan Booch pressed DeRozan down in the training match, and he was in a good mood, which would have regarded Wu Huang as a brother.

"That's right, Hugo, your passing is fantastic." The only two whites on the Trojans, Bart, also gave Wu Huang a thumbs up.

Bart Bligh was in the blue team before, but seeing Nathan Booch scored 12 points in 15 minutes by Wu Huang, he was looking forward to playing alongside such teammates.

Floyd gave the players a break after the game, and then something could be seen from the division of the crowd.

Wu Huang quickly gathered around him with six or seven teammates, most of whom were the team's starters and main rotation players. On the other hand, on DeRozan's side, only Mu Jiajin, who is destined to be robbed of the main position by Emperor Wu, stands with him, isn't this equivalent to being isolated?

Half of these players didn't have such thoughts, but they were unconsciously calculated by Emperor Wu, creating a picture of DeRozan being isolated.

The worst is of course DeRozan, who has left a "selfish" impression in the hearts of these players under Wu Huang's calculations.

At the moment, most of the team's players are willing to be teammates with players like Wu Huang, rather than DeRozan, who has a selfish style of play. Who told him to shoot crazy just now, but the hit rate was a mess, and the players on his team were very dissatisfied at the moment, just these players were the main force of the original team.

"You can't blame me for that, can you? I didn't let him go crazy, and I didn't let him go crazy. Emperor Wu comforted himself, this really has nothing to do with him, he is just a black spot on his belly at most.

But in any case, this training match was like a nightmare for DeRozan, and his future suddenly darkened a lot.

After the players rested for a while, Floyd took out the training plan that had been prepared and handed it to all the players.

The coaching staff of the Trojans knows the strengths and weaknesses of the veteran players very well, and what should be focused on training them, there is no need to slowly investigate, and the only thing that needs to take time to study is Wu Huanghe's DeRozan.

The training environment of NCAA famous schools is much better than the domestic CBA system, of course, this refers to those "famous schools" of NCAA, which is why everyone yearns for these famous schools. Prestigious schools like North Carolina, Duke, and UCLA have professional equipment and coaching staff that are not inferior to NBA teams, and can train players in the most advanced way.

Players at this age are trained to be delicate and long-term, and are not suitable for high-intensity training.

The coaching staff will tailor the amount of training for each player according to their physical fitness. Of course, not all players have this kind of treatment, otherwise the trainers and coaching staff will not be busy, and only the team's main and important rotation players can have this kind of NBA player treatment.

If it is a talented player like Wu Huang and DeRozan, the University of Southern California has also purchased sky-high insurance for the two. According to this insurance, if Wu Huang is injured in training or competition, and the injury is so serious that he can no longer carry out his sports career, Wu Huang will receive a sky-high compensation of about 5 million US dollars.

There are not many scholarships mobilized by the big **, this is to avoid vicious competition between universities in terms of admissions, and the NCAA stipulates that the standards for athlete scholarships are uniform, which also curbs the advantages of financially powerful universities in admissions.

Since there are not many full scholarships, this kind of "insurance" is a reassuring pill for athletes in American universities. This kind of insurance is a must for schools that want to recruit talented students, including football, baseball, and other sports. Otherwise, there is no income for the big ** mobilization, and there are not many scholarships, in case you are seriously injured in the competition and retire, won't you have no guarantee of life for the rest of your life? So these universities will buy high insurance for players, and the more talented the player, the greater the amount of compensation.

Secondly, although the NCAA training program is not as intense as the NBA, it is also much stronger than in high school, and the nutrition that the players' bodies need to supplement must also keep up.

These nutritional supplements are not cheap goods such as Amway, and they cost a lot of money over the course of a season, so, again, this kind of treatment is still only available to a few people.

In terms of training, training in any sport is boring, and the training of NCAA players is more focused on the fundamentals, and the coaching staff will arrange one or two more techniques and strength training according to each player's talent.

Generally speaking, strength, speed, and explosiveness training are the items that each player has to do, and the difference is that the amount of training is different for each person.

Wu Huang should focus on shooting and ball control training at this stage, the former is the offensive skills he relies on to survive, and he needs to continue to strengthen. The latter is what he must have to be the primary point guard in the NCAA, especially to improve his weak hand dribbling and ball-handling penetration.

In addition to these two, Floyd will improve his shooting and passing drills depending on the situation, both of which are also abilities that he should have in his position.

In Freud's vision, Wu Huang's breakthrough ability, if enhanced, coupled with his projection ability and big-picture vision, would make him a star who would be difficult to defend in college.
