Chapter 506: The Type of Player Who Gives the Coach the Most Headache!

Allen Iverson, the familiar face of martial arts sitting in the stands behind Betel High School at this time, is the same Allen Iverson who will be called the answer by fans in the future.

Today's game between Iverson's alma mater, Bethel High School and Oak Hill High School, not only attracted fans and scouts, but also brought back Iverson, who was studying in college.

"It's Iverson, by the way, I remember Iverson's alma mater is in Virginia."

"He's going to be here, is Bethel his high school alma mater?"

"This coincidence. It's a bit of a surprise! ”

Wu Dao's eyes looked at Iverson who was sitting in the crowd, and Iverson leaned forward slightly, smiling and talking to his high school coach.

He seemed to feel Martial Dao's gaze, and suddenly turned his head to look in the direction where Martial Dao was.

"Coach, that yellow man, is that the ace of Oak Mountain you are talking about?"

"Lead the team to win 12 games in a row, averaging 40+ per game?"

Iverson obviously noticed the martial arts, and after looking at the martial arts from a distance, Iverson asked his old coach.

Iverson was quite controversial in high school, and one of the most famous things he did in high school, in addition to joining the football team and winning the "Most Valuable Player" in football in that year's game, was also the detention and sentencing for group fights.

It is estimated that only the parties involved in the incident knew about the whole incident, but Iverson was found by the court to be "leading the trouble" and was sentenced to 5 years in prison.

Later, with the help of the American Society for the Protection of Colored People, Iverson insisted that he was innocent, and under social pressure, the court reversed the sentence, so that Iverson was successfully released on parole after only four months in prison.

There is no way to know who is right and who is wrong, but judging from the fact that Iverson was able to successfully enter Georgetown University despite the "court sentence", Iverson's fight back then was really a bit of a doorway.

I heard that many colleges don't like Iverson with a prison background, but Georgetown University, a prestigious university, was able to accept Iverson, in addition to his mother's unremitting efforts, I am afraid it also shows that the truth of the incident back then was not what everyone knows.

Otherwise, a famous school must not give up its reputation for a player.

No matter how talented Iverson is, he will definitely not be able to compete with the "reputation of a prestigious school".

Iverson had a good relationship with the team's coach in high school, and the credit for digging Iverson's play is also due to the high school coach.

So when Iverson heard that Oak Hill High School had a super talent, he immediately returned to his alma mater to watch Bethel High School and Oak Hill play.

Virginia's school basketball circles are big and small.

The news of Wu Dao's 12-game winning streak has long spread with the progress of this round of the series. The coaches and players of any high school team have more or less heard the name of martial arts.

And the previous physical test data of martial arts at Oak Hill Academy was also deliberately "leaked" by Coach Smith. The exaggerated physical test report card has already attracted many scouts and college team coaches.

Bethel High School, which performed well in the weekly competition in the first two years, is undoubtedly a "strong school". For Oak Hill High School, Bethel High School is also a very strong opponent, and it is precisely this opponent that can test the gold content of the "trump card" of martial arts, so in today's match with Bethel High School, there were more spectators than in previous games.

Even on the sidelines of the court, there are scouts who are starting to assume a video recorder, preparing to record the martial arts matches as a reference for future evaluation of martial arts abilities and potential.

Soon, the players from Oak Hill High School were ready to play one after another, and Coach Smith looked around the lively court with a smile, slowly got up from his seat, walked in front of the players, and said to the players:

"Today is your last game of the month."

'After today's game, you'll have two days off and for the next few games, we'll be playing at home and the opposition won't be very strong.

"In other words, after gnawing the difficult bone of Bethel High School today, you will be able to relax a lot in the next half a month!"

"So, now you have to tighten your nerves and don't let up."

"There's a break! But not now. ”

As he spoke, Coach Smith looked at Martial Arts and continued with a smile:

"Wu, do you see that? Those who assume cameras, those who are in suits, are basically here to see you! ”

"Aren't you going to break into the NBA? Put your best foot forward and prove you're the strongest, scouts, they'll see you! ”

"That's it! If you're ready, warm up! ”

After Coach Smith finished speaking, he clapped his hands and shouted. The players stood up tacitly, hugged each other's shoulders around Coach Smith, shouted a few "win" slogans, and walked towards the stadium.

Coach Smith stood on the sidelines, patting the players on the back one by one, shouting "fighting!" ”。

As the Oak Hill Academy players entered, there were some cheers on the sidelines.

After sending the players in, Coach Smith also returned to his rest area, and at this time, a slightly chubby middle-aged man squeezed into the front row and whispered to Smith: "Smith! Hey, Smith! ”

Hearing the shout, Smith turned his head to look at the comer, looked overjoyed, and shouted in surprise: "Mr. Mike! Are you really here? ”

"Or in person?"

Coach Smith saw the middle-aged man who was crowded into the front row, hurriedly got up from the bench, and trotted towards the other party, and then in the surprised eyes of the people around him, Smith held the middle-aged man named Mike tightly, and was quite excited.

"I was a little curious about that Asian kid, so I came to see for myself."

"How's it going, in today's game, do you have confidence in Oak Hill?"

"Also, how's that kid doing?"

Mike shook Smith's hand and went straight to the point, raising his chin and signaling to Martial Dao, who was warming up at this time. Hearing this, Coach Smith nodded confidently and said:

"Look at it, our Oak Hill Academy will definitely not lose, and Wu's performance will definitely not disappoint you!"

"Your ticket, it's definitely worth the money!"

Hearing Coach Smith's confident words, Mike nodded with a smile, then waved his hand and said, "You go and get busy, I'll wait to see how you perform." ”

Mike noticed that the people around him seemed to be paying attention to his side, pressed the brim of his hat slightly, and then sat back in his seat, and Coach Smith nodded when he saw this, and then sat back in his seat.

However, when he returned to his position, Coach Smith seemed to have not been able to calm down for a long time, and kept looking back at Mike to confirm whether the other party was there.

Seeing that the other party was still sitting in the rest area, and even gesturing to himself not to care about him, Coach Smith was relieved, but after seeing Mike, Coach Smith's mood couldn't calm down for a long time, stood up, and paced back and forth in the rest area.

Mike, whose full name is Mike Shashefsky.

Just saying this name, most people may feel a little unfamiliar, but some people may know his other identity.

Old Coach K.

Coach of the basketball team at Duke University, he was one of the most prestigious coaches in college basketball, and later even became known as the godfather of basketball.

Don't look at Coach K as a college coach, but in fact, compared to those NBA coaches, he is not far behind. Coach K Sr. even took over the coaching whip from Larry Brown as a college basketball coach and led the U.S. men's basketball team.

And changed the decadent performance of the U.S. men's basketball team in the 02 World Championships and the 04 Olympic Games.

During his coaching career, he was voted the National Coach of the Year 12 times and was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in '01. After the 16 Olympics, Coach K also retired from the U.S. national team, but has been playing the role of basketball consultant.

Coach K is the "connection" that Coach Smith has put a lot of effort to get through.

Although Wu Dao said that he would participate quickly and break into the NBA after high school, as a coach, how could Smith let Wu Dao go and fight? He has already begun to find a "way out" for martial arts, and in the eyes of Coach Smith, martial arts even has no way to skip college and go directly to the NBA.

But getting an invitation to an NCAA super-elite school is definitely more than enough.

Smith thought that if the martial arts hit the NBA failed, or if the prediction was too low, he would send him to Duke University and refine it under Coach K Sr. Smith believes that Coach K can make martial arts a "finished product".

Before Coach K, Coach Jim Berheim of Syracuse University was also in contact with him privately, and the two had already agreed to meet.

However, I didn't expect that before Coach Jim Berheim came to "inspect the goods", Coach K came non-stop.

It seems that the physical test materials mailed by myself to Coach K made Coach K very satisfied.

The warm-up time on the pitch was brief, and after more than twenty minutes, the referee blew the whistle.

The players returned to their respective lounges to make final pre-match adjustments.

"Take! How is it today? ”

As the players warmed up, Coach Smith asked Takemichi.

Without waiting for Wu Dao to answer, Charles interjected with a smile: "Coach, do you still need to care about him?" ”

"When did he slack off?"

"Even if the state is not good, the performance will not be bad when you are on the field!"

Charles is right, off-pitch training often raises not the upper limit of the players, but the lower limit of the players.

Because whether the upper limit can be increased or not is the result of both training and talent, but whether the lower limit can be improved is accumulated little by little by relying on the accumulated training.

Except for the players who have been injured so badly, every single player you can see, who has a long career, is an extremely disciplined player.

Domestic players like Yi Jianlian, foreign players like Mamba, orangutan, Carter, the self-discipline of these players is unimaginable to ordinary people.

You can have an ugly shooting posture for chimpanzees, and you can hack him in eight steps, but in the area of self-discipline, it is really black.

Martial Arts is such a player.

Since the full-body CT scan of the physical test, Martial Arts has finally realized the horror of his "system". The system may not have directly improved his strength, but what it gave him was unlimited potential.

That daily reward, that "strain recovery potion", makes martial arts can have no scruples in training.

Not to mention that martial arts itself is talented and understanding.

Just talking about a person with ordinary talent, let him train for 10,000 hours, he can also become a good basketball player. Not to mention that he can definitely play professionally, but compared to people with the same level of talent and 2,000 hours of training, he must be the stronger one.

After the first day of high-intensity training or competition, martial arts can be alive and well on the second day.

His competitive form has always maintained a very high level, and at the same time, there is not much risk of injury in martial arts.

Because of injuries, in addition to the malicious stepping of others, the injuries and illnesses that occur in oneself are often caused by physical fatigue.

Professional players, exchanging their bodies for results, it's not just talking. Maddie's 6 stitches were closed that year, which directly reimbursed his basketball career in advance, and Da Yao continued to play despite a knee injury, which also shortened his professional life.

Sometimes I have to feel that some players attach more importance to honor than even their own practical interests.

"Hahaha, too, it's me who thinks too much!"

Coach Smith heard Charles's words, looked at the martial arts who was in excellent spirits, and said with a smile.

"Let's enter!"

As he spoke, Coach Smith clapped his hands, didn't arrange any tactics, and said aloud directly.

Tactics? After the team has passed the run-in period, tactics need to be played on the spot.

He specially got a set of tactical systems for Wu Dao, and the ultimate goal is to let Wu Dao be able to receive the basketball in the most comfortable place, and then let Wu Dao do it himself.

Or to put it simply, it's to send that damn basketball to the hands of the martial arts!

Oak Hill's previous games have all been won in this way.

"Beep-"

As the referee's long whistle sounded, the players on both sides began to settle in the center circle, and after the referee's signal, a short whistle sounded, and the basketball was thrown high into the air.

"Smack!"

With a soft sound, Oak Hill's center had a slight advantage and pointed under the basketball, and at the same time, Jamel Stanny stepped up and took the ball in his hand, and then he didn't dribble the ball, and directly gave the ball to the martial arts who had just crossed the center line at this time.

Bethel high school players are very high-quality, and they have quickly retreated after the jump ball loss, and when Takeshi received the basketball in the middle, except for the center who had not yet entered the interior line, the other players of Bethel had already reached the defensive position.

After a few quick steps to get the basketball martial arts, he was soon close to the three-point line, and by this time, the vast majority of the players in Oak Hill had just crossed the halfway line.

Without the slightest pause, Wu Dao approached the three-point line, closed the ball, and raised his hand to throw the ball.

In the stunned gaze of everyone in Bethel, the basketball swiped directly over their heads, and then hit the basket accurately, and the crisp sound came into their ears, and everyone was stunned.

On the side of the court, the old Coach K couldn't help jumping out of the corner of his eyes when he saw Wu Dao playing like this, but when he saw Wu Dao scoring a goal, his eyes were also looking at Wu Dao.

Irrationality.

But the ball went in.

There is no doubt that the self-confidence is bursting and I feel that I can play 9.

This player is the type of headache for academic coaches!

This is the first impression left by Wu Dao on the old K coach, at this moment, the old K coach even wants to lift his ass and leave.
