Chapter 14: The NCAA Begins
,
"Coach, you let me play on the bench, James is more suitable to start than me"
Zhuang Fei looked at the immature big boy in front of him, and he could never connect with the defensive warrior in the future.
"Raja, you know what, your defensive ability is one of the best on the outside, but you're always the worst one in the game, you know why?"
Rajabel shook his head in confusion.
"Aggression, ruthlessness, determination, perseverance, you lack such a jīng god, when you are playing, you can do well in 1 against 1 defense, but as soon as the opponent goes to play cooperation, you will give up your defense, in your subconscious, as if you think you can't do it, you don't have a jīng god like a mad dog, even if the other party gets rid of you, what can you do? Catch up and bite again! Even if you can't bite it, you forget that you still have your teammates, we still have Tim Duncan, what are you afraid of? ”
Zhuang Fei said very vulgarly, he ignored the wide-mouthed surprised Ragabel continued: "You are a player with the potential to enter the NBA, this is not what I say, you also have the ability to gain a foothold in the NBA, but first of all, you have to open yourself, you can't be timid when you play, you always seem to lack a sense of position, in fact, this is not a technical level, but a jīng god level, when your teammates are trying to do something, if you don't follow the hard work, Then you will appear out of sync with your teammates, and it will be obvious on the field that you are different from other people, which is directly reflected in your lack of positional sense."
Ragabel was too cautious, and was directly promoted to the starting point by Zhuang Fei after coming to the team, always thinking about not making mistakes, which caused him to be unable to let go of both offense and defense, and he couldn't keep up with the rhythm of other teammates.
"Raja, I can tell you very clearly now, you will be the team's starter this season, no matter how bad your performance is, you will be the team's starter, I have always been full of confidence in you, if you don't want to be too embarrassed on the court, I hope you can be brave enough to show your xìng" Zhuang Fei looked at Rajabel with a serious face, without the slightest hint of falsehood.
Ragabel looked at Zhuang Fei in surprise, he had never considered himself a basketball genius, and like Duncan, he was born in a place with no basketball tradition, the Virgin Islands. He came into contact with basketball earlier than Duncan, and at the age of thirteen, he and his father left the Virgin Islands and went to Miami, where he really started his basketball career, like Carter and James Posey, Ragabel's high school is also a very ordinary high school, not a prestigious school, but Carter can lead an ordinary team to win the championship, James Posey is also a little famous in the American high school world, and what is he? He was too far from Carter, James Posey, and even Szzambiak, when he was about to graduate from high school, no team in the NCAA Division I was willing to ask for him, and when he received an invitation to Wake Forest University, he had been excited for a few days and couldn't sleep, in his heart, he just had low self-esteem and was afraid of losing. Even if his strength is not weak.
"Can I really do it?" Ragabel asked himself more than once, especially when he was bad in the first few friendly matches, he also cared very much about Zhuang Fei's thoughts, he wanted to know what Zhuang Fei thought of him in his heart, what kind of player he was, and he could see sincerity and trust in Zhuang Fei's eyes. This made his nose sour.
At this time, Lagabel didn't know where he got the courage, so he first bowed violently to Zhuang Fei, and then shouted loudly; "Coach, I won't let you down" After speaking, he turned around and left Zhuang Fei's office.
"I hope that's the case," Zhuang Fei muttered as he looked at Ragabel's thin back
NCAA is a special term for college sports in the United States, basketball is just one of them, up to now, the NCAA basketball team division I has a total of more than 300 teams and dozens of large and small leagues. Zhuang Fei's Wake Forest Devils Deacons is one of the six major NCAA league teams, the league is the abbreviation of the Atlantic Coast League, the league, the Great East League, the Southeast League, the Big Eight League, the Pacific Ten League, the Big Ten League, these six leagues are called the six major leagues, it is the fierce battle zone of the NCAA, and the team strength is generally higher than that of other leagues, such as the league has North Carolina, Duke, North Carolina State, the three teams that have won the national championship, and the University of California, Syracuse University, and Marquette University in the Great East League, University of Cincinnati, Georgetown University, St. John's University and other teams have always been league powerhouses, in Zhuang Fei's previous life, the Great East League can almost be said to be the strongest league of the six major leagues, in addition, the University of Kentucky, the University of Alabama, the University of Tennessee, the University of Florida in the Southeast League, the University of Kansas in the Big Eight League, the University of Arizona in the Pacific Ten League, the University of California, Los Angeles, the University of Michigan in the Big Ten League, Michigan State University, Indiana University, These schools are some of the traditional powerhouses, and they are no less traditional and competitive than Wake Forest, and most of them are even higher than Wake Forest University.
It can be said that the competition in the NCAA in the United States is extremely fierce, regardless of other leagues, just look at the league where Wake Forest is located, and the strength is not worse than Wake Forest.
The league currently has a total of nine teams, the Clemson University Tigers, Duke University Blue Devils, University of Maryland Turtles, University of North Carolina Tar Heels, North Carolina State University Wolves, Wake Forest University Devils Deacons, University of Virginia Cavalry, Georgia Tech Hornets, and Florida State University Seminoles.
Among them, North Carduk is one piece higher, Georgia Tech led by Marbury and Wake Forest led by Duncan are similar in strength, Zhuang Fei is not easy to lead Wake Forest to win the championship, the league champion directly qualified for the national championship, of course, even if he did not win the championship, it does not mean that he lost the qualification to participate in the national championship.
All in all, Wake Forest hasn't had an easy season. If you want to aim for a national victory, you have to work harder.
Zhuang Fei's office has always been the place where he has a meeting with Bill Lambo and Mark Allen, but now Mark Allen and Bill Lambo are training the players in the arena, and Zhuang Fei is lining up the starting list, although this list has been determined very early, but Zhuang Fei will still take it out to see.
"The center position, Tim Duncan, the undisputed boss of the team, has an ability value of 88, currently has NBA All-Star level strength, and his passing ability has also improved recently, and he will be the offensive axis and defensive core of the team this season"
"Power forward Stephen Green, blue-collar, has little offensive ability, defensive ability is 62, so-so, judging from the performance of the game, he is a floor-to-ceiling defensive player, his physical fitness is not strong enough, his defensive rebounding position is good, he is a qualified starter in the NCAA, and he is also the weakest starter in Wake Forest"
"Small forward Vince Carter, strong offensive ability, especially good at breaking, dunking, organizational ability has improved greatly, the team's outside offensive core, is also the team's organizational core this season, but the defensive ability and shooting ability need to be strengthened" Zhuang Fei has always wanted to improve Carter's shooting ability and defensive ability, but recently he has been letting the players make a triangle offense, so there has been no time for Carter to practice shooting and defense.
"Guard Wallis Zebiak, the team's calmest three-point shooter, is extremely strong in shooting, but the pace is a little slow, and the defense is passable"
"Guard Ragabel, a defensive giant, has a good basket, but he can't integrate into the team, so that his sense of position and presence is lacking, and the biggest black hole in the team at present" Zhuang Fei still hopes that Ragabel can grow up early.
"James Posey, the team's sixth man, super sub, offensive weakened version of Carter, can breathe life into the starting lineup, defend sè, outside jack-of-all-trades, but sometimes not calm enough"
These six people are the core lineup of the team this season in Zhuang Fei's heart, if you look at it on paper alone, this lineup is definitely one of the best in the NCAA at present, but the game is not based on the strength on paper, Zhuang Fei still can't grasp the team's prospects.
Zhuang Fei firmly believes that this lineup can be successful, but maybe only after it is really successful, can he feel a little more at ease.
