Tryout invitations from top universities didn't have a real impact on the usual competitions and training of martial arts.

In the end, it's just an invitation to tryout, which means that for Duke University, the current level of martial arts is only just entering the inspection period of their team.

Such an invitation not only did not make him proud of Wudao, but gave Wudao an inexplicable sense of urgency.

He thought that his strength was already quite outstanding, and he could clearly feel that he had not continued to improve his martial arts training during this time.

If you want to say when martial arts is the happiest time for him to play, you must say a time period, that is, when Kunaka first came to this world.

At that time, after each day's training, Martial Arts could feel his progress. And that feeling of becoming stronger is also constantly motivating Martial Arts, making Martial Arts more immersed in training.

But since he entered his sophomore year, he could clearly feel that his progress had stalled, or that his progress had slowed to the point that even after a few months, there was still no noticeable feeling.

Wu Dao felt that he had developed his talent to the top, but in the end, he only received an invitation to try out at Duke University.

It's not the kind of formal invitation to get in, it's not the kind of coach who promises you that if you're willing to come to Duke, you'll be able to get a full scholarship to our school.

It's just an invitation to tryout.

It's just that the family has developed a little bit of interest in Ling, so let you go and train.

Even college didn't have that "you have to have" feeling about martial arts, let alone any NBA team that would look at martial arts today.

At least that's what Takeshi thought in his heart after that day.

He felt that he had a huge flaw in some aspect, which led to his inability to make Coach K have that strong interest in him.

It's just that Wu Dao has never been able to find out where his flaws are.

The NFHS league schedule continues, and Oak Hill High School, led by Martial Arts, is also singing all the way, and after playing a winning record in January, it is also an eight-game winning streak at home.

The front and back have reached a terrifying 21-game winning streak, and Wu Dao leads the team with terrifying statistics of 37 points, 8 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks per game.

And with the progress of the NFHS league, the reputation of martial arts has gained a lot of fame in the state with the blessing of consecutive victories and the promotion of the media.

ESPN's scouts and reporters also noticed that Oak Hill High School's ace player, who had disappeared for a year, was back on the field.

During the NFHS league, scouts were also specially dispatched to inspect the current strength of martial arts, and finally ranked martial arts back into the top 100 high school students in the United States.

And his rank has also come to 14th, although he is also a five-star high school student, but among all the high school small forward players, Martial Arts is only ranked 4th.

The few small forwards before the martial arts, the martial arts basically never heard of the name, those people, in the future, either entered the NCAA and disappeared after the end of college, or, after entering the university, they were unknown.

When Wu Dao heard from his teammates that he was actually in the 14th place in the ESNP rankings, his mood was also low for two days. Then when he readjusted, his performance on the field became even more terrifying.

Halfway through the schedule, several of the state's favourites have already emerged.

There is no doubt that Oak Hill, which has led the way in terms of record, is the team with the most demand this year.

Finally, on this day in mid-February, Oak Hill High School met its 22nd opponent in this conference, the opponent is the third-ranked basketball school in Virginia, and the team has several top 100 high school players released by ESPN, including the team's small forward, who is also a 5-star high school student, ranked 45th.

And this day's game also attracted many fans and scouts to watch the game. The first and third high school teams in Virginia will definitely be a battle for the best, and after today's game, it will be clear which team will have the championship.

In this game, Wu Dao also exerted 100% of his strength, without any intention of retaining physical strength to deal with the subsequent game, and completely pinched the opponent he was facing at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.

And in this ball, Wu Dao played very alone, and when faced with two or three people, he often chose to force his own shot.

Although the choice of attack is very poor in the eyes of others, Wudao's court is in very good condition today, and all kinds of fairy balls can be scored if they want to, and the bag of the three people can't stop his attack at all.

At the end of the game, Wu Dao's personal score reached a terrifying 67 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists, accounting for the vast majority of the team's shots, and the shooting rate reached 64%.

led the team to a 112-67 victory over the opponent.

On the other hand, the opponent of Martial Arts, the small forward ranked at 45 did not show his true strength at all under the defense of Martial Arts, or in other words, his strength was not enough under the defense of Martial Arts.

played the whole game, only scored 6 points, 2 rebounds, and 6 assists. Whether it is the performance of the field or the game data, it has been completely exploded by the martial arts.

And it was this game that made the media and scouts who watched the game have a strong interest in martial arts. Compared with before, the attention of martial arts is obviously a notch higher.

Even though Oak Hill High School has not successfully won the state championship, Oak Hill High School led by Martial Arts has also refreshed the pages of various media in the state.

The fame of martial arts is widely spread in Virginia, and many college teams have also heard of this NO.14 crushing N.45 game, and have sent scouting teams and coaching teams to Virginia to inspect martial arts games.

Since then, Oak Hill High School has continued to go on a high stride, winning all of its games except for one back-to-back away game in late February.

At the same time, Budo's stats have swelled to an average of 41 points per game, leading all players in Virginia.

In the end, Oak Hill High School won the 1995 NFHS League Virginia state championship with a near-total victory.

After the NFHS league ended, Wu Dao also rose to No. 6 in the national high school rankings released by ESPN as a sophomore, and there was only one outside player who could be ranked in front of him, except for some talented centers and power forwards.

That's the leading player at Philadelphia's Raul Merrion High School, Kobe Bryant.

This year, Kobe Bryant was a senior in high school, leading the team to a terrifying record of 31-3, and he personally averaged 30.8 points, 12 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 4.0 steals and 3.8 blocks per game. At the same time, it is also the first in the national high school student rankings.

Although Kobe's average points per game are not as high as Wu Dao, his other rebounds, assists, steals and even blocks are much higher than Wu Dao.

Bryant's Raul Merrion High School also won the first weekly championship in the school's 50-year history.

led the weak team to win the weekly championship, and he personally played a comprehensive statistical performance, and the gold content of the state championship won by Kobe Bryant.

It is even higher than Budo leading a team of such a historic level as Oak Mountain to win.

Of course, there is a more critical reason, that is, Kobe Bryant is a black player, and a yellow player in martial arts. In the current American basketball environment, black players are far more recognizable than yellow players.

Because in the current NBA league, or even in the NCAA, there are no successful yellow players.

All things considered, Wudao's ranking is lower than Kobe's.

But due to the terrifying data played by the martial arts, ESPN has no way to ignore this trump card of Oak Mountain. Generally speaking, the position of the martial arts is still relatively reasonable.

The NFHS league ended, and high school students entered the so-called "offseason".

Despite the fact that there have been no major events in recent months, this off-season is crucial for high school students with dreams.

In addition to the ABCD training camp that will be held in the United States, the tryouts of various universities are also in full swing, because in mid-to-late March, the NCAA will usher in the so-called March Madness.

As the season approaches, college teams tend to train a little less intensively, and the most common way to train during this time is to play practice matches, which is also the best time to try out the promising high school students, because the outstanding high school students and previous graduates can form a team to act as opponents in practice matches.

Many of Duke University's assistant coaches and trainers today are actually excellent players who have gone out of Duke University.

Although after helping the team win the state championship, the scouts and coaches of the ABCD training camp have mailed an invitation to participate in the training for Wudao.

But in March, Wu Dao still kept his promise of a tryout at Duke University and left for North Carolina.

Duke University is a private, comprehensive university located in the southern United States.

Basketball is just one of the university's many strengths. When Takeshi got into a taxi and came to this university, he was also shocked by the level of construction of this school.

Wu Dao thought that he still had some knowledge, but when he saw the campus of Duke University, he could only sigh that he was short-sighted.

Wudao has also visited some of the top universities in China, and I have to say that the same university, not to mention the education level for the time being, there are few domestic universities more than 20 years later, and there are few schools that can compare with the hardware facilities of Duke University.

After entering the campus, the tall and sturdy martial arts also attracted the attention of many people, and under the guidance of some people, martial arts walked towards the stadium of Duke University with a backpack and a suitcase.

Duke University has a semester system, which is divided into two semesters, the first semester is from August to December, and the second semester is from January to May.

In fact, martial arts will also enter the third year of high school in the summer of this year.

Duke University's arena is a separate building from the academic building, and the basketball hall is quite large, with a terraced grandstand in addition to the court.

When Wu Dao entered the arena with a big bag and a small bag, Coach K was leading the basketball team to a practice game.

Wu Dao didn't bother the team's game, carrying his suitcase, he found a random seat on the sidelines and sat down, watching the practice match in the field.

At a glance, Wu Dao saw a familiar figure from the court.

It was a black player wearing a white No. 33 jersey, with a well-proportioned figure and small black curly hair, who was quite focused on the court.

"Kobe Bryant?"

"Why is he here?"

"Didn't he go to the draft in '96? Why is it at Duke University?! ”

Wu Dao was a little confused when he saw Kobe's figure, which did not match some of the information he knew about Kobe. It's just that Wu Dao seems to have forgotten, no matter how awesome Kobe Bryant is, he is just a high school student now, and he is also confused about his path now.

The truth is that before Kobe Bryant won the TOP1 in ABCD training camp, he didn't think about skipping college from high school to enter the NBA, after all, before him, there was no precedent in the NBA for high school students on the guard line to participate in the draft and still be able to enter the first round.

At that time, Coach K Sr. went to watch the game at Oak Hill High School, and then went to watch the game at Raul Merrien High School non-stop.

Compared with martial arts, Coach K actually prefers Kobe Bryant, who has a comprehensive performance.

Guard players like Kobe, "Peter Pan" like Kobe who is good at attacking the basket and has a good waist are the most suitable players for their Duke University in the mind of Coach K!

In the middle of the court, the offense and defense rotated, and the basketball was given to Kobe Bryant, who crossed the midline and approached the corner. The young Kobe Bryant held the ball, and in the face of the defender who was obviously one bigger than him standing in front of him, Kobe Bryant made a simple tentative step and went straight to the ball to break through.

In just one moment, Kobe Bryant dodged directly from the left side of the defender, followed the baseline and killed directly under the basket.

The defender in the black jersey noticed Kobe Bryant and stepped forward to try to stop Kobe, but Kobe, who had already come to the basket, was jumping directly to the basket.

In mid-air, Bryant took the basketball to his chest, skipped past the defender from the left side of the basket, glided to the right side of the basket, and then hooked the ball to the basket from behind the rebound in a very exaggerated gesture.

"Huh!"

As the soft sound of the basketball entering the net sounded, the few spectators in the stands let out earth-shattering exclamations.

“ohhhh！！！！”

"Wow!! Terrible! ”

Seeing this scene, the martial arts couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, straightened his back, and subconsciously touched his waist, and then shook his head with a smile.

This kind of action, if he were to do it, really couldn't do it.

It's not that it's not in the air, it's simply because he can't twist like Kobe Bryant at his height, if this ball is martial arts, it will be directly split on the head of the defender after invading the inside.

His height, his bounce, is able to support him in doing something like this.

However, this does not prevent martial arts from admiring Kobe's ball skills, good waist, and it is also a kind of talent, and he does not have this talent martial arts.

The game in the middle of the court continued, and the black team against Kobe Bryant seemed to be the basketball team of Duke University, because Coach K was standing on the sidelines and reprimanded the players of the black team.

and Kobe's white team, the composition is a little complicated, and Wu Dao can't figure it out for a while.

"This classmate, you. Is it Oak Hill High School's martial arts? ”

Just as Wu Dao was watching the game intently, a figure wearing a vest and a peaked cap suddenly sat down next to Wu Dao.

Turning his head, Wu Dao saw a black man.

As for the appearance, it is not easy to describe, after all, in the eyes of martial arts, blacks and blacks look about the same, with thick lips, a collapsed nose, and the contours and details of the other party's face cannot be seen if the light is a little dim.

"Hello."

Although I didn't know each other, I still had basic polite martial arts, and after saying a word, martial arts looked at the court.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, martial arts classmate."

"Here's my business card."

"If you're interested, we can get in touch."

After speaking, Wu Dao felt that a "small card" was stuffed in his hand, and when Wu Dao turned his head to look, he found that the person who had just spoken to him was sitting far away, sitting with the audience in the stands on the other side.

"Strange people." Secretly saying a word in his heart, Wu Dao lowered his head and looked at the small card in his hand.

"The University of North Carolina? Tutor? ”

When he saw the identity information on the business card, the corners of Wu Dao's eyes couldn't help twitching.

Okay.

got the business card of the North Carolina assistant coach in the Duke University Arena, and the routine between the top basketball universities in the United States is too deep!
