Chapter 6 Changeable Personalities
As soon as Wu Huang's physical test data came out, he was immediately praised by his teammates.
They all know that they have underestimated this yellow person, and they all say that the dog that bites people does not bark, and it is true.
DeRozan's mood was a little low, originally he wanted to accept Emperor Wu as his younger brother, but the development of things was beyond his expectations, this little brother is not easy to accept!
Emperor Wu also guessed the thoughts of these people, and only felt that they were rare and strange.
What is the NCAA place? What is the NBA? Even in the high school league, if he didn't have two brushes, how could he get the name of Mr. Basketball in Southern California?
The NBA is the top of the basketball pyramid, and every season, there are only about 450 people in the world who have the opportunity to step onto the NBA court and try their luck. According to the basketball talent training system in the United States, from junior high school to high school to college to the draft, I don't know how many rigorous selections have to go through, and each so-called genius needs to go through countless tests before he can finally be lucky enough to be on the NBA hall.
Just looking at the NCAA, there are 3 levels of leagues, of which only the Division 1 league, which has the highest level of athleticism, has as many as 347 colleges. Even if each institution only counts 12 players (many schools have teams for each grade in addition to regular varsity teams, far more than 12 players), there are already at least 4,164 elite athletes.
So let's take a look at it again, what are the NBA draft slots each year?
The answer is that there are only two rounds of 60 players, and that takes into account the international players who have reached the top of their country at the top of their game. So if you don't have two brushes, or your physical fitness is not strong, and you still want to play in such a high-intensity league, it can only be a fool's dream!
Those who can squeeze across the single-plank bridge in the midst of thousands of troops must have their own merits, don't underestimate the global population base of 6 billion, so the players who can play in the NBA are all geniuses, but geniuses also have to be divided into three, six, nine and so on.
Many fans think that Nash, Nowitzki, Gasol, Parker and other international players are not in good physical condition, but in fact, this is all delusion. The physical fitness of these people is definitely not low, they are like monsters in front of ordinary people, including the current Wu Huang.
Wu Huang's speed and explosiveness are stronger than DeRozan's, and his bounce is almost the same, but he is rarely seen sprinting at full speed or jumping and dunking with all his strength in the game, because he will always retain some strength, which can reduce the risk of injury. Or rather, Wu Huang and these international players are more protective of their bodies than black athletes, and they know how hard it is to be talented.
"Hugo, I've seen you play, and I think we'll have a great time working together." Gibson, as the leader of the team, stepped forward to exchange a few words with Wu Huang after the body ended. He did watch Wu Huang's high school games and was deeply impressed by his overall view of the game and his accurate three-point shooting.
"I chose USC because there's a great leader like you, and we're going to make it to the finals this year, right?" Wu Huang knows that when talking to his teammates, he doesn't need to be too polite, just maintain proper humility, otherwise he will be bullied if he is too late.
Gibson was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Of course, our goal is the championship." ”
DeRozan felt that he was being slighted, but he felt that he was not wrong at all, and soon came to the team training session, where Floyd deliberately placed him on the blue team, but Wu Huang and Gibson on the red team, and I don't know if the little knew the meaning.
Wu Huang saw the deep meaning of such a grouping, he was looking forward to his first team training in college, and he also wanted to know what kind of level his teammates were at?
On the red team, the main point guards: Wu Huang (188cm, 172 pounds, freshman), shooting guard: Nathan Bozzy (193cm, 195 pounds, senior), small forward Edmund Tamar (198cm, 205 pounds, sophomore), power forward Ty Gibson (203, 225 pounds, senior), center Mohamed Atrab (206cm, 240 pounds, junior).
For the blue team, the main point guards: Mukinga Barkley (185cm, 170 pounds, senior), shooting guards: DeRozan (195cm, 205 pounds, freshman), small forward Bart Bligh (200cm, 200 pounds, junior), power forward Andrew Agnes (205cm, 220 pounds, junior), center Barnard Benham (208cm, 240 pounds, senior).
Floyd's grouping is fairly fair, except for Wu Huang and Gibson in the red team, the rest are all substitutes for the team; Except for the big forward position, the blue team is the main force of the team
DeRozan secretly held his breath, since he was a child, he had not been compared to his peers. But now in terms of physical test data, he actually lost to a yellow person, which made him really feel aggrieved, and he secretly made up his mind that he must perform better than Emperor Wu.
"You're good, but I want you to know that it's not enough to be fast and shoot accurately." DeRozan has never encountered any setbacks in his four years of high school, and hundreds of players in the NBA league have come through like DeRozan in high school.
There are more than one million high schools in the United States, and the highest level of official competition is only a state-level tournament, which is divided into 5 levels according to the different sizes of schools (the classification is based on the size of the school, not the level of basketball, so the five levels of tournaments are not high or low), that is to say, the leagues at all levels will determine the champion, and a total of 5 state champions will be produced.
The California League is divided into 10 different regions, including the North and South leagues, and Wu Huang's Walnut High School and DeRozan's High School are not part of the same league or region, and both have led their respective teams to win their own tournaments.
But to say which of the two is better, it is impossible to evaluate because they have not played each other.
This high school competition system in the United States will allow at least a dozen geniuses to emerge in each state, perhaps intentionally, such a system will make these geniuses in the same state rarely meet during the four years of high school, so they all think that they are the real pride of the sky.
However, when they come to the NCAA, many geniuses will understand a truth, "not afraid of not knowing goods, afraid of comparing goods", when these geniuses really get together and start a fierce fight, some geniuses are still geniuses, and some geniuses have become ordinary people.
It may sound cruel, but this is the reality, the fairest law of nature, and those who can't adapt will be automatically eliminated!
Therefore, don't think that foreign countries are so beautiful, all the laws of nature are implemented all over the world, and they are all survival of the fittest. If you can't mix well in China, then it's the same everywhere you go, and it won't change just because you go abroad.
The United States is leading the more perfect selection system, they make basketball very good in the development of the country's youth, the American high school league has long penetrated into every corner of the country, any young people who are interested in basketball and have a certain strength, can "passively" get the opportunity, the high school league has become the talent pool of American basketball, ensuring that every year there will be DeRozan, Griffin and other geniuses emerging.
And what about China?
China does not have such a selection system, and most of the talented people with basketball talent have been lost. If you want to wait for the government to change the existing system, you must be slapped in the face, and you will not change until you are ridiculed as the "sick man of East Asia".
However, we don't need to blame the country, nor do we have to blame the Basketball Association and the Football Association.
Because of those people, no matter how much they scold, traitors will always be traitors, and corrupt officials will always be corrupt officials!
China started too late, there are too many places to catch up, so we can't expect the country to do everything, we have to take the initiative ourselves, those friends who really love basketball, we have to make ourselves better, we have to work hard to climb up, and wait until we have enough ability to change something, don't forget our dreams, don't forget our own hearts, that's enough.
Wu Huang naturally didn't think about these at the moment, he was wearing his idol Kobe's ZoomKobe 4 generation sneakers, and his heart was boiling!
"Scumbags, wait for death!" Wu Huang was obviously a little overexcited, his personality had always been very gentle, but at this moment, such an arrogant thought rose in his heart, which was not like him at all. Since experiencing his first strange dream, Emperor Wu's personality has begun to change.
The first weird dream did greatly improve his basketball IQ and psychological quality, but it also made his personality begin to change. Especially when he is emotional, he sometimes becomes sharp, and even a little unsightly; But sometimes, he becomes hypocritical again, extremely black-bellied, and has some thoughts in his head that he never had before, and they are all quite evil.
This was not common at first, but after experiencing the second dream, it became more and more. But even if he occasionally loses control, it won't affect his game. At most, it has made Wu Huang's playing style change a little, and when he is emotional, he will rarely come to two trash words that he would never say before.
This is indeed quite amazing, Wu Huang himself can't believe that he still has this hidden skill.
At this moment, looking at DeRozan with a warlike face, Emperor Wu's mentality has changed again, and countless thoughts have arisen in his mind, all of which are insidious and black-bellied thoughts.
Floyd shouted from the sidelines: "This team training is divided into two halves, 15 minutes each, let me see if you are lazy in the summer." ”
Assistant coach Andy acted as the referee for this team training, and the game was about to start, and the five players of the red team got together, and Gibson opened his mouth to say to everyone: "Hugo is playing with us for the first time, and he is not familiar with our system. Speaking of this, Gibson looked at Emperor Wu and said with a serious expression: "Wu, you can cast blue when you have the opportunity and give full play to your attack ability, understand?" ”
Emperor Wu is a smart person, how could he not understand, he immediately patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, that basket can't stop me." ”
As the saying goes, when it is time to be confident, Emperor Wu will definitely not be polite.
