During this time, Wu Dao also tried to adjust his mentality, and joined the team's training according to the instructions of Coach K.

Although in terms of Budo's own standpoint, he doesn't want to play power forward, but in the past two days, Budo himself has begun to realize that his height conditions can't focus on developing outside skills as before.

After all, growth and development is such a thing, who can say clearly, with the trend of growing taller and taller in recent years, it has become smaller and smaller, but after all, it is only the second year of high school, and it has to be guarded against.

How do you say that, men are still jumping in their 20s, aren't they?

The power forward position can exercise the martial arts' awareness of defense and position, and these things are still quite helpful if you take the forward swing man route in the future.

Moreover, the intensity of college basketball and high school basketball is different, and playing against opponents of this level is conducive to martial arts to adapt to higher-level events in advance.

Martial arts, who began to calm down and train, soon showed excellent training results. When he first came to Duke University, Coach K often found that a big forward in the martial arts was specifically in a position where he should not be, such as outside the three-point line at the horn position.

However, with the progress of training, Wudao has begun to gradually adapt to the style of play of the big forward, whether it is the card position work or the auxiliary defense work, it is quite good.

His athleticism is mobilized by the martial arts, making his range of defense quite large. In the face of the opponent's breakthrough, Wudao is often able to assist in defense one step ahead of his teammates.

And the defensive effect is also quite good, often able to force the opponent to stop, or force the opponent to pass the ball back to the outside.

Even these top players at Duke University rarely have the opportunity to break through Wudao's defense and get under the basket to attack the basket. For example, Kobe Bryant has also tasted the cover of martial arts several times in his usual training.

But even so, Kobe Bryant still storms the basket at every opportunity, and is not afraid of martial arts defense.

Of course, his head is not so iron, and he will not rush when he doesn't have the opportunity, but will choose to pass the ball to his teammates, or choose a mid-range jumper.

This has to mention Kobe's idol.

Although Kobe Bryant shouted every day after entering the NBA that his idol was not Jordan, he never imitated Jordan when he played basketball.

But the mouth will deceive, and the technical characteristics will not deceive.

Bryant, like Jordan, wants to sit in the low post at every opportunity, and his favorite finishing method when he is in a mid-range back-to-back single is to roll over and lean back.

And during the usual practice game, Kobe Bryant also uses this method most often when he wants to hard-connect. When there was a talent monster called martial arts to guard the inside line, Kobe Bryant turned over and leaned back more times.

It's just that at this stage, his skills have not yet been "perfected", and the interference of defenders still has a considerable impact on him.

Therefore, when Kobe Bryant was on the court, he always played iron, and even his practice game statistics dropped significantly.

In these games of the trial and practice games, Kobe Bryant's average points per game dropped to 11.4 points and only 5 rebounds, but the average assists per game can reach 6.4, which is a pretty good level.

On the other hand, the martial arts, which has settled down to play power forward, has an average score per game that is rising.

Playing practice games with Kobe Bryant on the same team, the ball of martial arts is well guaranteed. Takemichi only played two or three practice matches before his teammates trusted him.

In each game, martial arts can occupy at least 1/5 of the team's shooting rights.

After a game, the whole team can almost make 90-110 shots, and Takeshi alone occupies about 20 shots.

At the same time, Wu Dao, who plays power forward, often sits in the low post to receive the ball, and in this position, his scoring efficiency is very high.

Skillful dribbling, superb mid-to-low footwork, and the big forward that Wudao beats Duke University is completely a dimensionality reduction blow.

Relying on excellent footwork and archery, he will not be able to find the north of the opponent's front.

The big forward at Duke University is also a technical power forward, but in the face of martial arts, he can't pose a threat at all.

Because Wu Dao's breakthrough speed can be compared with the top players in the guard line, coupled with footwork and excellent shooting, he already has an advantage in the position of power forward.

And then again, with the current physique of martial arts, he also has an advantage in the small forward position.

Often teammates only need a simple pick-and-roll, and Takedo has enough space to shoot three-pointers. Even if Wu Dao doesn't choose to attack with a three-point shot, a block can also give Wu Dao a chance to misplace and single the opponent's guard line.

Don't look at Duke University as a top NCAA school, their guard line can't withstand the martial arts.

Martial arts, which have absolute strength and height advantages, often only need the most unpretentious emergency stops and pulls, and can easily score on the heads of opposing players.

During training, Takedo only swung a few offensive rounds to the small forward position, and his teammates realized Takemichi's advantages, and sometimes helped Takedo cover and make the ball on the court.

Sure enough, the place that can prove the value of the players is on the pitch after all.

After a few days of training games, Wu Dao averaged 33.4 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks per game. Compared with Kobe Bryant, who was seen the most at the beginning, the performance of martial arts blinded the eyes of many people.

A sophomore in high school played an NCAA All-Star caliber in a training match against college students.

At this time, no one will doubt that Martial Arts already has the ability to participate in the draft. Not only does he have the strength to participate in the draft, but with the personal ability and talent that martial arts are currently showing, he may even get a relatively high position in the draft.

It is not excluded that some teams have taken a fancy to the talent of martial arts and want to gamble on this high school student.

Those who are in the consolidation phase, or who have been at the bottom of the league for a long time, will be interested in players like Budo.

For Wu Dao's outstanding performance in the trial, Kobe Bryant wants to say that he is not jealous, it must be fake.

It's just that jealousy is jealousy, and Kobe Bryant is still patiently honing his skills.

Kobe Bryant has never been the kind of person who is afraid of strength and jealousy. He recognized the talent of martial arts, recognized the ability of martial arts, and even more recognized the efforts of martial arts.

In Kobe's opinion, martial arts and him are actually the same kind of people.

Kobe Bryant is a different kind of person for those who work hard, whether they are strong or not.

It is worth mentioning that the main reason for the locker room conflict during the Lakers' OK period was not the so-called 1.2 brother dispute.

At first, it was just because the young Kobe Bryant couldn't get used to O'Neal's training attitude.

And Kobe's words also made O'Neal feel unhappy, and at this contradiction, it expanded into a 1.2 brother dispute. Later, with the nagging "Shaq is also dry", the conflict in the locker room completely broke out and was irreconcilable.

And the Lakers' management ultimately chose the younger Kobe.

Admittedly, O'Neal still proved his dominance after leaving the Lakers and won the championship.

But history tells us that the decision that Lakers management ultimately made was not wrong.

Kobe Bryant will not have any psychological imbalance because of the emergence of martial arts, he will only focus more on himself, focus on basketball, in order to surpass martial arts who are younger than his age.

The emergence of martial arts also made Kobe Bryant aware of the importance of outside offensive means, although he will not immediately change his style of play, but in the future training, it is certain that more training time will be given to the skill of shooting.

It can be said that with the advent of martial arts, the transition from No. 8 Nag to No. 24 Nag is accelerating.

In the future, the No. 8 may become tougher and more adaptable to the NBA.

Tryouts at Duke go by very quickly, and for busy people, no matter how much time in a day, it's not enough.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for Martial Arts and Kobe to leave Duke University.

Before leaving, Coach K sent letters of recommendation to Wudao and Kobe Bryant for the ABCD training camp. He was very satisfied with the tryout performances of both players, and the talent and ability of the martial arts, and Kobe's focus and hard work left a deep impression on the old Coach K.

This ABCD training camp is also a letter of recommendation from Coach K who hopes that Kobe Bryant and Wudao will have a better development.

At this time, Coach K would not have thought that Kobe Bryant would attract the attention of the NBA in high school, nor would he have thought that Kobe would skip college and join the NBA directly after graduating from high school.

After taking their respective letters of recommendation, Wu Dao and Kobe Bryant left Duke University one after another after a brief goodbye.

Kobe Bryant actually didn't really need a letter of recommendation from Coach K, because in '94, Kobe Bryant had already participated, and in the season after training camp, he averaged 31.1 points, 10.4 rebounds, and 5.2 assists per game.

Even ESPN did a separate highlight show for Kobe Bryant that year.

This kind of treatment, Wu Dao has never encountered, and his data performance in the state competition is a little more explosive than Kobe.

Maybe it's because Oak Hill High School is a wealthy family.

An "obscure" kid led the really unknown Raul Merrien High School to win the weekly championship, and Kobe Bryant's story is obviously much stronger than that of the "rich talent".

What's more, the ace of Oak Hill is still a yellow race.

Before you realized the Huaguo market, you expected the old beauties with their eyes on their heads to look down at the yellow people? Are you kidding!

Wu Dao, who left Duke University, went back to school directly, and as for the business card given to him by the North Carolina scout before, Wu Dao had already ignored it.

At Duke University, Wu Dao has clearly known his abilities, and has also found his own direction of improvement, that is, to assist in defense and positioning, and the rest of the time, he plans to consolidate his original skills while developing these two abilities.

Tryouts in North Carolina?

Besides, it's only a sophomore year of high school anyway, so there's no hurry.

After returning to school, Coach Smith asked about the trial experience of Takemichi, and in the face of the coach's inquiry, Takedo just said that he wanted to follow the route of the swingman next season, and asked the coach to design a strategy for himself.

Coach Smith, who heard this, touched his chin and glanced at Wu Dao a few times, so he didn't ask more.

However, the next day, the team began to practice new tactics.

Originally, the receiving point of Martial Arts was used to being outside the three-point line.

And once Takedo intends to swing around the two positions of power forward and small forward, it becomes important to create an off-ball block for Takedo to get into the interior.

For the technical characteristics of the martial arts, Coach Smith needs to develop corresponding tactics to allow the martial arts to receive the ball comfortably in the low post.

At the same time, when receiving the ball in the low post of Martial Arts, he also needs his teammates to give way to the offensive space of the inside line, and at the same time give some support and cover for the outside shooting point.

If a player wants to make a name for himself on the pitch, supporting tactics is essential.

Coach Smith is a traditional academy coach, but not a pedantic coach. And if martial arts want to swing up inside and outside, the cooperation of the team is indispensable.

The request of martial arts also satisfies the pleasure of Coach Smith's "coaching".

If the ace player is omnipotent, why not a dog on the coach's bench?

The tactics of letting Wudao enter the low post to receive the ball are actually complicated and complicated, if you want to say simple words, it is also simple, two words "block and dismantle".

Although there are only two words for blocking and dismantling, there are too many tactics that can be derived.

Coach Smith just let the inside power forward be promoted to cover without the ball, let the martial arts interspersed with the inside, and at the same time let the defenders pass the ball to the interspersed martial arts, it's as simple as that.

On this basis, the person covering can be a center or a power forward.

After the martial arts are interspersed with the inside line, the defender can choose to pass the ball at the first time, or he can wait for the martial arts to pass through the inside line and go around to the other side before passing. At the same time, other players can also be interspersed with runs.

The core is very simple, but when it comes to the pitch, the running position is a little complicated.

On top of this tactic, the team's training also added a drill of triangle attack. This triangle offensive tactic was privately proposed by Coach Smith and coaches in order to increase his own ball holding and at the same time give full play to his technical characteristics.

At the beginning of March.

Jordan officially made a comeback, and at the end of the month, just two days ago, on March 28, Jordan scored 55 points in front of the real gorillas in the game with the Knicks, leading the Bulls to a narrow victory of 113-111.

Jordan's appearance also reminded Wu Dao of the triangle attack, so as to consolidate his core position in Oak Mountain.

The triangle offense is complicated and complicated, and it is simple and simple, and after discussing it with Wu Dao for two days, Coach Smith basically understood it and made some arrangements at the same time.

High school students don't have that strong tactical understanding, but it doesn't matter, they just need to know how to run and then know how to give the damn ball to the martial arts.

Others, when the players receive the basketball on the court, they naturally know what to do.

After a period of exercise, the triangular offensive at Oak Hill also had a preliminary "appearance". Although it is a kind of goods, but for martial arts, it is enough.

In June, the sophomore year of martial arts officially ended, and the school also began to have a holiday.

However, the training of the Oak Hill High School basketball team is still ongoing, but the team is missing several players during the holiday training.

And martial arts, also on this day in mid-June, came to the ABCD training camp held in the offseason.

After entering the camp, Wu Dao also received his own number.

Number 170.
