The two went to eat at the tulip restaurant and ordered a weight loss package.

When Carman first arrived at the University of Michigan, he was overweight, his style of play was stuck and slow, his blue-collar stats and his defense couldn't keep up. He managed to lose weight with the help of Davy, and only hit a nearly double-double in his second season.

Carman was able to participate in the NBA draft at the end of last season, but the team's poor record made it difficult for him to be drafted with a high pick, so he stayed in school.

Wang Jun asked: "Chris, there is still a week, what do you think of that bet?" ”

'Last season they had a communication problem, they just didn't make it clear. Of course I support David, otherwise I wouldn't be the centerpiece. When I help you, I help myself. ”

"I'm relieved to have you say this." Wang Jun said with a smile. Talking to straightforward people is a matter of convenience.

Carman opened the conversation. "You really played badly before, Adamson thinks he has a good chance to win, all I can say is that this guy is so stupid that he doesn't know if he's completely caught the trap."

"What do you mean by that?"

"In the past, even if we were on the first team, David didn't arrange for me to pull out and block for you. This hand must have been kept by him on purpose, wanting to wait for you to lose weight and try again. It's like last year when I had a poor mid-range shot, he never let me play high pick-and-roll, he just kept letting me practice, and the second half of the game increased the pick-and-roll cooperation. Now that I'm shooting better, how can he not play the pick-and-roll and let me keep attacking the basket? I think he has at least two main sets of tactics. ”

This guy really knows basketball, and he's much more proficient in tactics than I am, so it's no wonder Abby said he could play in the NBA. Wang Jun just wanted to interject, but was interrupted by a wave of his hand.

"One is the combination of inside and outside during this time, you move in a small area in the bottom corner and on the side, I attack in the low post, as long as the opponent does not have a strong inside line, I can blow the opponent. Very simple. You just have to wait for the pass. ”

"The second is me and Bobby pulling out to give you double cover, the defender breaks through with the ball, the small forward cuts in the air, and you take the ball on the perimeter. It's a tactic you're the most important one, and you're the only one on the team who can do it. It's already obvious that David has been letting Bobby practice his mid-range shots. When you're not around, Mike also specializes in air cuts. How's it going, isn't it much less stressful? ”

Wang Jun didn't even say a "yes", and Carman continued to chatter.

"If you want to play well, it's mainly about your speed and defensive strength, and if they prevent you from shooting, you're still going to pass the ball well. I see that you are in average consciousness, just pass the ball to me if you don't have a good chance, don't give it to anyone else. I'm going to try to play good numbers this season and go to the NBA draft, and my goal is 20+10 ......"

Wang Jun sighed in his heart.

This guy is good, but the chatter is too annoying, and with Carman, can he only be an audience? Let him say something and die!

Listening to Kaman talk about football, Wang Jun learned a lot of new knowledge.

For example, college basketball is not like the NBA, you don't need to fly around every week, and the top ten league teams are not too far away, and you can get it by bus. You may only need a plane to make it to the NCAA Championship. Only tournaments receive big media attention.

Carman's goal is an NBA lottery show, and the higher the pick, the better. Signing a four-year rookie contract in this way will not only make more money than rookies outside of the lotto, but will also be focused on training in the team, which has many benefits. One step away could change an entire career.

Kaman began to settle the already cold food, and Wang Jun finally had a chance to interject: "If you are selected in the second round, what contract will you sign?" ”

"Unless the priority is very high, it is generally a one- or two-year contract, and the second year may not be guaranteed. Personally, I think that if the second-round rookie has the strength, it is better to find a team to try out by himself, at least he can go to the team he likes, and there is no guarantee anyway. Carman paused, and immediately reversed his opinion. No, don't listen to my nonsense, those who can be selected in the second round are also elites, and it's too difficult to join the NBA after losing the selection. ”

Wang Jun sighed: "It seems that time is pressing, I have to work harder." ”

"You want to be in the NBA Draft, too?" Carman doesn't look at his speed on the field, but his reaction is amazingly fast. He had a big mouth open, and he forgot to chew his food.

Wang Jun can't play well in the team now, and participating in the draft seems like a fantasy.

"Of course I want to, play in the NBA and make more money."

Wang Jun knows what the net worth of NBA players is.

In the 90s, the salaries of players were not too high, and second-rate stars like Hornacek could accumulate tens of millions of dollars only if stars were paid high salaries. In today's NBA, a middle-class player can get a contract of tens of millions. Even the basic salary is hundreds of thousands of dollars. You can live well for five years.

Carman didn't pour cold water on Wang Jun, and said very seriously: "Man, then you have to participate in the draft with me after this season, if I graduate, can the Wolverines still play well?" ”

Wang Jun can better understand why David is so optimistic about himself and hopes that he will improve quickly. This is the team's best chance to produce results, and the Wolverine's other interior strength can't compare to Carman's.

After eating, the two went home, and Wang Jun continued to practice the training methods given by the three systems.

Breathing and exhaling he is getting more and more experienced, he used to just exhale and hold his breath, but now he can vaguely feel it, and mobilize the breath that pressed into the dantian, this is the performance of the first Xiaocheng.

Iron plate bridge, lying flat on the book, he couldn't bear it from the first twenty seconds, and now he can hold on for ten minutes.

He felt that his waist and abdomen were getting stronger and stronger, but the powerful muscles were surrounded by more powerful fat, so he couldn't see it.

The next afternoon, the Wildcats, members of the Big Ten League, arrived.

The game was played at Chrysler Center, and there were many fans in attendance, even though it was just a warm-up.

The two teams are evenly matched, having both exited in the first round of the playoffs last season, so the Wildcats chose Wolverines as their first warm-up opponent in the hope of boosting their confidence with a win.

David didn't take the wildcats seriously either, and this time he shouted the slogan of victory. Although it has the same name as the prestigious Kentucky Wildcats, Northwestern University is far behind.

When arranging the lineup, the two coaches quarreled again.

David wanted Wang Jun to start, Powell came off the bench, and first-year point guard Gordon Solo put Luke Barnes, who was the fastest and best at launching counterattacks, on the bench. The offense is mainly positional warfare, with blocking and demolition cooperating.

Adamson's favorite perimeter is Luke, and David is bullish on Gordon, although he is average, shoots well, and doesn't possess the ball.

Adamson hated Gordon, presumably because Gordon also had a scholarship spot.

He shouted: "How can you play with such a lineup? In the first game, let the opposing defender suddenly play? I can't stand a Wolverine losing at home. You're ruining the team's traditions. ”

"What could be more humiliating than you yelling here?" David didn't bother to talk to Adamson.

"You won't win like this." Adamson has a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder, unable to act on what he thinks in his heart, and his whole body is uncomfortable.

David no longer showed weakness, and said equally loudly: "The team has played five years of rapid counterattacks, has it ever won?" You shut up! If Wang Jun plays well today, I suggest you resign quickly and go to other teams to fight back, and see if they use you. ”

The team hasn't made it to the tournament for years, and Adamson is too embarrassed to mention tradition. Looking at the performance of previous seasons, losing is the tradition of Wolverine.

David then arranged defensive tactics. "Joint defense, Wang Jun guards the low position on the left side, you must carry the opponent's big man, don't let the opponent easily enter the penalty area. Bobby in the middle. Pay attention to the contraction of the formation. After grabbing the rebound and landing on the ground, don't worry, understand? ”

"Understood!" The players shouted together.

David called Gordon to his side again and instructed, "You pay attention to the king's movement, Chris will cover him, and pass the ball to him when he has time!" ”
