Chapter 13: The Orange People

When Li Hai filled in the information, he indicated that he could play several positions, No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4, but the main report was still No. 3, and he felt that his physical and technical characteristics were more suitable to play No. 3. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Just because Anthony is in this school, he can't say that he plays as a striker.

However, there is no Carmelo Anthony among these freshmen who report the forward position, and it is estimated that their role with a scholarship does not need to prove their strength in advance.

The three men in front of him were all tall white men, two were about the same size as him, and the other was taller than them.

Unlike what I remembered, there were still quite a lot of white players at Syracuse University.

After the warm-up, Coach Jim Boihan put them in a two-on-two direct confrontation.

"Hey, boy, don't pull my hind legs, or you won't be able to stay in the school team." Placed in a group with Lehi was the strongest of the four, with a fierce face, named Gary Hall.

The other two, one looks more elegant, just showing his shooting ability, the basket is not bad, named Josh Brooks, and the other is the tall man, about 2.06 meters, his athleticism is very good, and he dunked a few beautiful ones in the warm-up, called Matt Gorman.

Against the power to use free throws to decide the first offense, Lehi took the initiative to stand on the free throw line and hit steadily, all four people scored in the first round, and Lehi was still very stable in the second round, but Josh Brooks made a mistake to give up the ball.

Gary Hall, who was in the same group as Lehi, was a strong shooter, and he had no intention of passing, so he forced a shot by squeezing the opposing opponent directly.

Matt Gorman, who was opposite Lehi, wanted to use his excellent height to guarantee the rebound, but he was stuck behind by Lehi with his strength, Hall's shot did not hit and bounced out, Lehi grabbed the rebound steadily, and a feint pointed up Gorman, and the step forward was to smash the dunk vigorously.

It was Lehi who served the ball just now, and after scoring the goal, he threw the ball directly to Hall and asked him to go to the center circle.

Lehi's dunk still had an imposing bonus, and Hall went to the center circle to give him the ball.

Lehi rushed to the defender and was directly a cross step, and it was a dunk to shake off the opponent, compared to the speed, he was definitely the fastest of the four.

His performance made the other three like big enemies, and the opponent didn't dare to defend the third ball, and Li Hai hit a three-point shot directly.

After his performance, he did not forget his teammates, and the fourth ball came with a breakthrough goal.

He's played in the professional league before, and he knows exactly what to do this two-on-two, with a strong body, excellent singles, three-point range, and the ability to create opportunities for his teammates, positive, confident and stable, and fully showing anything a forward player can do.

After winning this small confrontation, the coach didn't say anything, just asked Lehi to go to the team management to officially register, and did some simple tests, so he officially came over the next day.

Holt Eddy also filled out the registration form, although there are only a maximum of 15 players who can represent the school team in the NCAA, but the fat man is not here, and he is not directly eliminated, which makes him happy.

"Listen to me, buddy, you play the ball well, but to mix well in the varsity team, someone has to cover it, and generally in that kind of place, white buddies and black buddies have to follow the right people."

Lehi said in a joking tone, "It's better for me not to follow anyone, because whether it's a white buddy or a black buddy, I probably have to be ranked last." ”

The basketball team left about 50 people, mostly freshmen, and from the second day, the team began a week-long, three-hour daily physical reinforcement training.

Training physical fitness without touching the ball is extremely hard for students who have never experienced it, but Lehi is very used to it.

Freshman high school stars Carmelo Anthony, Gerry McNamara, and seniors, including Hakeem Warrick, one of the team's key nugscars, have all been on display.

Maybe it's because I'm not familiar with it, just like Eddie said, most of the time white buddies and black buddies are clearly distinguished, and foreigners like Lehi are even more lonely, basically burying their heads in hard work.

But as the U.S. team lost again and again in the World Men's Basketball Championships, the young people on the varsity team gathered together to express their dissatisfaction.

"Their performance might as well be to send players from our university directly to the game."

"Nick Collison of the University of Kansas is not going to help the team, and if we have the opportunity to play against the University of Kansas, we have to teach them a hard lesson."

"If it weren't for the NBA's superstars, the U.S. wouldn't have lost."

"It's that they should have fought for their country, because they have lost pure basketball because of money."

Lehi also took the opportunity to join in, and only basketball was a familiar topic.

He asked with interest, "Hey, Anthony, if you were to join this American team, would you be able to help the team win those games?" ”

"Of course." Anthony said confidently, "I'm going to make those crucial shots, and to be honest they're just missing a player like me. ”

"It's the same with the Oranges, where I and I go into March Madness and win game after win."

Lehi secretly said that now Anthony is full of confidence and is looking forward to playing against such a top player.

On the last day of physical training, they began to learn about basketball and did some simple shooting and dribbling drills.

At this time, a few people have already taken the initiative to leave, and after class every day, they train for three hours, which is really a bit hard for some people who want to be in the limelight.

At this time, Li Hai felt that a major with Xia Weiliang was the most correct choice, and there was a scholar here, and he also benefited a lot from his studies.

On the eighth day, Coach Jim Boihan divided them into 10 teams for full-court drills, and after three days there were only 25 left.

The real meat drama is coming, and Lehi estimates that the team will start to determine the main lineup, after all, with a big name like Anthony joining, the team's lineup will definitely have some changes with him as the core.

The Orange People's biggest names right now are first-year students Carmelo Anthony, Gerry McNamara and sophomore Hakeem Varik, who are No. 3, No. 1 and No. 4 respectively.

So now the Orange People team is likely to change is the No. 2 and No. 5 positions, there are big men over 2.10 meters, and Lehi will definitely not be able to compete for the center position, so he should be able to give it a try.
