As the second half of the game progressed, Wu Dao, who had not been able to receive basketball for a long time, finally realized that he was too young.

He thought that as long as he put on some performances and shocked these black players, they would pass the ball obediently. Of course, in fact, they do pass the ball to the martial arts.

But the assistant coaches of the white team ignored the inside martial arts when they faced Kobe Bryant for the ball, and instead gave the ball to Kobe.

In the confrontation with Grant Hill, Kobe Bryant was also beaten a little up, and after receiving the ball, he frequently made a single breakthrough, wanting to prove his ability. But under the NBA-level defense, the young Kobe Bryant did not immediately adapt to such intensity, and his offensive success rate was quite low.

And under the bag of Duke University candidates, Kobe Bryant also made several mistakes.

A player like Kobe Bryant is the kind of player who can withstand being talked about as a lone in Da Yao's mouth.

This kind of player is very competitive, even in such an unfavorable situation, he still dares to play after getting the ball. Of course, for professional players, this style of play is beneficial, but this benefit has to be based on a strong individual technique.

If it is the peak Kobe, there is no problem with playing like this, but for the current Kobe, although it is not a problem to play like this, at least, it is quite unfavorable for the team.

As the game progressed, the white team fell behind by more and more points, but Kobe Bryant just went his own way, full of desire to crush the opponent in front of him.

With that exuberant fighting spirit, Grant Hill couldn't help but be secretly frightened.

He did have an absolute advantage in the confrontation with Kobe, but Kobe's strength also left a deep impression in his mind.

In the confrontation with Kobe, Grant Hill also understands why this player was called by Coach K to the team for a tryout. In his eyes, Kobe Bryant will definitely become an excellent arrow player after several years of training.

Coach K was watching the game on the court from the court, and he was not angry at all when he watched Kobe Bryant playing crazy singles on the court, but watched the confrontation between Grant Hill and Kobe Bryant with great interest.

No matter how good a coach is, it is inevitable that he will have preconceived notions.

What do you mean by that? Love is blind.

In the heart of Coach K, he loves Kobe very much, and now Kobe's independence is a manifestation of winning and losing in his eyes. Although he is still lacking in ability at the moment, he has the same idea as Grant Hill, and in time, Kobe Bryant will definitely become the brightest player on this court.

He is quite satisfied with the quality and fighting spirit that Kobe Bryant has shown at this stage.

On the court, Kobe Bryant also abandoned all distractions and focused on the game. Towards the end of the game, Kobe Bryant finally regained his long-lost touch and hit consecutive mid-range shots.

In the next attack, Bryant successfully deceived Grant Hill after the shooting was shaky, and rushed directly to the basket to score a dunk.

scored six points in a row in just over a minute, attracting the attention of the old coach K on the sidelines and the players on the field.

At the end of the game, the white team lost 77-104.

Bryant scored 34 points in the game, accounting for almost half of the team's scores. He scored 19 points in the first half and 15 in the second. Looking at the stats alone, Kobe Bryant's play in the second half seems to be similar to that in the first half.

But in fact, in the second half, Bryant took a crazy 22 shots. He alone occupies almost all the shooting rights of the whole team.

In addition to those two highlight performances in the second half, Martial Arts became a little invisible to others.

Grant Hill also used his passing skills to connect his teammates after eating a big hat covering the sky in Martial Arts. The center assistant coach on the white team was very slow to move.

Every time Takeshi left the basket, he couldn't make up for the opponent's big forward in the first place.

This allows Grant Hill to always have an open pass.

After being passed by him a few times, Wu Dao had more worries when defending, and it became easier to take pretense.

This allowed Grant Hill to seize the opportunity and play martial arts well.

And Wu Dao is also bitter and can't say, the teammates on the inside are unreliable, he has to make up for Kobe's "colander", and he has to take into account the defense of the inside, and the opponent is either the starting power forward of the NCAA's strong school.

Either it's an NBA star like Grant Hill, and the martial arts guard two by one, which really can't be done.

On the defensive end, a lot of energy was involved, and on the offensive end, Wudao could hardly catch basketball, and in this practice game, he played unprecedented sadness and pain.

After the game, Coach K was very satisfied with the result of the game, he saw the possibility of Kobe Bryant and decided to include this player in the team.

And Grant Hill played very happily, not only did he move in 20 minutes, but also blew up the opposing Kobe, and at the same time "played" the high school student who blocked him.

Grant Hill's mood was also relaxed.

And Kobe Bryant is also very happy, he met a strong opponent like Grant Hill, and Kobe himself can perceive that after this game, he has become stronger, and if he meets an opponent like Grant Hill again, he will definitely be able to play better.

At the same time, Bryant also felt that he could fully adapt to the intensity of the competition in college.

What if someone says he's not fit?

Then Kobe Bryant will tell the other party that he scored 34 points alone in the practice match with the Duke University finalists!

The only person who is not satisfied with this practice match is probably only Wu Dao alone.

He played the entire second half, scoring 11 points, 6 rebounds, 3 blocks and 1 steal. The data is very good, as a sophomore in high school, being able to hit this kind of data on the head of Duke University at half time is that everyone can see the talent and ability of martial arts.

But even so, Martial Arts still felt very uncomfortable.

Because he felt like he wasn't playing to his full strength in this game.

It's not that he doesn't want to play to his full strength, it's that the team doesn't have the right system to match his ability.

In the junior high school era, when Takeshi became the absolute starter, Mitsui Shou had just retired, and the entire team of Takeshi Middle School was built around Takeshi.

And when I got to high school, I went to Xiangbei.

Mitsui Shou directly gave up the position of the first core of martial arts, and the entire Xiangbei can also be said to revolve around him.

When he was in the United States for the first time, Martial Arts showed terrifying strength in the usual training matches after running in with the team for a while. Teammates all pass the ball to Martial Arts after seeing Martial Arts' strong individual ability, and in Oak Mountain, Martial Arts is also the kind of big core style of play.

But in today's practice match, Wudao really had a good understanding of what it means to be a second master.

Oh. Wrong.

It's not the second master, after all, the second leader still has a lot of ball possession, and he is at best an NPC grabbing rebounds in this game. This kind of ball, martial arts for so many years, is the first time to hit it, it's really not suitable.

However, after the game, Coach K did not forget to say a few words of encouragement to martial arts.

In his eyes, although there is no way to compare martial arts with Kobe, in his opinion, with the talent of martial arts, he may be able to grow into Pippen next to Jordan in the future.

So who is Jordan?

Do you need to ask?!

After the training match, the way the players at Duke University looked at martial arts also changed a little. If they were originally naked colored glasses, now they have at least learned to look at people with their eyes.

It's just that the rejection of martial arts is still very strong, and martial arts can feel this.

"That player. There's definitely the potential to become a superstar! ”

"Now it seems that Duke doesn't seem to take that player seriously!"

On the side of the court, the North Carolina scout, who had watched the normal practice match, stared at the martial arts who were sitting "calm" on the sidelines at this time, and said secretly in his heart.

Compared with the old Coach K, this North Carolina player is more optimistic about the martial arts with explosive talent.

Although there were not a few martial arts highlights, those outstanding performances were deeply engraved in his mind.

Compared with the old Coach K, North Carolina scouts' desire for martial arts is much stronger.

After the afternoon practice match, Budo did not stay on the court to train with the other college students. He just came here today, so he needs to settle down first. Old Coach K casually called a substitute player and asked him to take Wudao to the dormitory to live first.

And Coach K himself started the team's training.

Before training, Coach K called Kobe Bryant to his side, and talked about some of Kobe's problems on the court before. Although he likes Kobe, Coach K didn't get used to Kobe after the game and talked about his problems.

After Kobe Bryant calmed down, he also knew that he had a problem playing today, and calmly accepted the coach's criticism.

This pair of "master and apprentice" get along quite harmoniously.

And after Takemichi settled down in the dormitory, he also stood by the window, looking at the campus of Duke University, and fell into deep thought.

"Even if I didn't have access to the draft, I wouldn't be able to join Duke."

"There's no way I'm going to grow in this team."

After this afternoon's practice match, Martial Arts has already ruled Duke out of his own option.

For a player of his age, the strength of the team is not critical, the most important thing is that the team has a suitable way to develop the players.

Wu Dao obviously felt that Coach K was planning to train him as a power forward, but Wu Dao knew that his height did not have enough advantages, and his strength was not outstanding in this position, and he did not have a big ass like Barkley.

If Takedo wants to play power forward, he must gain muscle, but if he gains muscle, Takedo will lose his current mobility, and even his shooting touch may be affected by muscle gain.

This is something that Martial Arts does not want to see.

If he is allowed to fight the Frontguard Swing Man, maybe Martial Arts will still be able to accept it, but this kind of cultivation method is definitely not what Martial Arts wants.

He is a man who has lived through the small-ball era, and a player of his age can still catch up with the peak of the small-ball era.

Although he had already ruled out Duke University as his option, Wu Dao didn't pack up his things and leave immediately.

Emotional intelligence is something you can be low, but you can't do without.

Next.

Early in the morning, Takedo underwent physical training from Duke University. The content is also the most conventional things, such as switchback running, height touching, bench press, and the measurement of basic body data.

The results of the physical test surprised the other players, the martial arts of the sophomore year, jumped high, ran fast, and the strength was also excellent, just looking at his physical data, he could be called a "hexagonal warrior".

Even in terms of touching height, it is much more terrifying than Kobe Bryant, who is now a senior in high school.

The touch height of 378cm, as soon as this touch height data came out, the entire Duke University arena exploded.

The absolute bounce of the martial arts is not as good as the famous monster Zion Williams in later generations, and the fat tiger can reach an absolute bounce of 114cm with a height of 198cm and a weight of 129kg.

With 20kg more muscle and fat than martial arts, the fat tiger can be said to be a real talent monster.

But the kind of person like Fat Tiger is a minority of the few after all, and the current physical measurement and bouncing data of martial arts are already looked up to by many people.

And after seeing the physical data of martial arts, Coach K also made up his mind to let martial arts turn inside.

In the next few days of tryouts, Coach K pressed the martial arts to the position of the power forward. The most important thing to cultivate is the single defense and auxiliary defense ability of martial arts.

The training intensity at Duke University is very high, and there are many tricks, and many things and martial arts are also exposed for the first time, which feels quite novel. On the first day of training, although he was trained in the direction of a power forward, he practiced martial arts very seriously, and the state of training made Coach K very satisfied.

In the afternoon, Coach K organized another practice match, and in this game, Wu Dao and Kobe Bryant were split into two teams, which also released Wu Dao on the ball.

At the end of the first half, a terrifying 8-of-8 came straight to the field, and he scored a total of 19 points including free throws.

In the second half, Takeshi also played steadily, 9 of 11, and scored a total of 22 points.

After a game, martial arts directly became the team's "absolute thigh", and a group of Duke University players couldn't help but glance at this high school student.

In contrast, Kobe Bryant was also in good shape today, scoring 36 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists.

Just looking at the data of Wu Dao and Kobe, there is no way to imagine that these two players are high school students who come to college for tryout.

But this is just the two of them eating the "newcomer" bonus.

The next day, after the end of the training, Coach K organized a practice match, this game, Wu Dao suffered a no-ball pinch, in this case, let alone play an outstanding performance, Wu Dao was affected by the two black brothers' crazy card position when he was inside, and he couldn't catch the ball at all.

When Wu Dao wanted to go to the outside to catch the ball, Coach K ordered Wu Dao to run according to the tactics, which made Wu Dao choke enough.

And Kobe Bryant is the same, Coach K completely grasped Kobe's competitive characteristics, and asked the players to give Kobe a little "trash talk", which directly made Kobe start the rampage offensive mode.

It's just that Coach K won't be stupid to let Kobe Bryant play alone, he has already arranged martial arts to make up for Kobe.

With his excellent movement and jumping, Wu Dao also made Kobe Bryant suffer.

After a game, Wu Dao and Kobe Bryant "lost both", and Wu Dao scored 9 points in the whole game. As for Kobe, he scored 8 points in the game.

It's a brother and a brother.

After this game, Wu Dao also calmed down and trained well.

Playing power forward, right?

Lao Tzu has to beat these people up when he plays big forwards!

In the evening, after the team's training was over, Wu Dao, who held this belief, invited an assistant coach to help him practice. Although the invited teaching assistant didn't want to "work overtime" in his heart, he gladly agreed when he saw that the person who invited him was actually martial arts.

The reason is also very simple, because he feels that martial arts can come out, that's all.

When Wu Dao and the assistant coach came to the stadium, Wu Dao found that there were already people in the stadium, and when he entered the door, he saw a small blacksmith practicing the art of ironmaking.

Kobe, who was practicing in the stadium, saw the martial arts that came to practice, and he was a little surprised in his heart, but he also cast a kind smile on the martial arts.

After a simple hello to Kobe, Wu Dao practiced his steps around the card position with the help of the assistant coach.

Kobe Bryant and Wudao, who are also seeking higher development at Duke University, both saw each other's efforts in basketball on this night.

In their hearts, both of them admired each other a little.

At the same time, he also regarded the other party as the biggest opponent in this trial.
