018: The first victim to come
"Doot toot!"
The moment Shay's dunk was successful, John. Thompson immediately blew the whistle in his mouth and ended the practice.
And rushed to Shay for the first time to check Shay's situation.
Although playing basketball in the 90s, it was normal to elbow and be elbowed.
Unlike in the last decade of the 21st century, a foul will be blown at the slightest touch.
But that's Ewing after all, and Thompson knows very well how powerful Ewing is.
He was really afraid that Ewing had just broken Shay's nose bone with that elbow.
Shay looked at Thompson running towards him, but just smiled and said, "Coach, we won, let Patrick go and practice for half an hour!" ”
Shay, it seems, is fine.
Although the wrestling team is not like fighting, it directly punches and kicks each other.
can fall around normally, and the resistance to blows is much stronger than ordinary people.
So, that elbow didn't do any real harm to Shay.
At this time, Ewing also walked up and threw a clean towel to Shay:
"You won, good job, boy, are you alright?"
Especially because of this, it seems that he has completely changed his person, without the rage of the game just now, and his tone is a lot softer.
"It's okay, it's normal to have a little confrontation."
"Hahahaha, worthy of being a member of the Georgetown University basketball team. Coach, our young players are getting stronger and stronger. ”
Ewing laughed, and smiled with satisfaction.
He's glad to see his veteran coach have a big guy like Shay under his roster.
It's not just Shay, in the confrontation just now, Mo Ning was also very tough.
Next season, there is a lineup of Mourning + Mutombo + Shay...... Ewing feels that his mentor may be able to lead the team to climb to new heights!
"Keep it up and you'll be able to make a difference in the new season. Later, when we get to the NBA, let's learn slowly. ”
Ewing patted Shay on the shoulder, and in his opinion, Shay is fully capable of playing in the NBA.
It may be an exaggeration to say that Shay is the next Magic, but judging by his performance in the past 20 minutes, Ewing doesn't think Shea has a problem playing in the NBA.
Shay also didn't expect to be appreciated by Ewing, which is a good sign.
Moreover, if Ewing could say a few words to himself in front of the media after he returned......
Mourning also came up at this time, looking at Thompson and Ewing with a grin.
He also worked very hard just now, so he thought he could get a few words of praise.
As a result, Thompson stared at Mourning for a few seconds, but only said, "Okay, that's the end of today's training." ”
Alonzo:???
Have you forgotten something important!?
I thought that Mutombo's new season would be the last dance of the university, and he would immediately get the position of the team leader.
Who knows that the more dancers this is, the lower it is!
I couldn't grab the boss before, but now the second child is almost gone!
In the future, he will be called Third Brother Mo.
Amid the compliments of Thompson and Mourning, Shay made a beeline for the bathroom.
I can't help it, I really can't help it, I have to go to the toilet to solve it!
Shay must now go to the toilet to claim the quest reward!
After turning on the faucet and washing his face, Shay opened the system interface and began to claim the reward.
Three player essence shards are in hand, plus two shards obtained after completing the mission after playing Duke before.
Shay has now collected five shards that can be combined into a player essence to draw a hand.
Opening the lottery interface again, Shay looked at the system description.
There is no guarantee for a single draw, and a five-draw is still guaranteed to produce a gold-quality thing.
But now there are no player templates in the draw pool, which means that player templates are unique to the first draw.
Shay scolded secretly, this system is a real dog.
Because if you draw a player template, you can have dozens of chances to add points, and Shay also thinks that as long as he draws two or three more times, he can reach the full level.
Sure enough, there was no such good thing.
At the beginning, the player template was drawn, and it was estimated that the system needed to quickly raise Shay's lower limit, so that Shay would not be too wasteful.
But the upper limit has to be Shay's own slowly liver.
Shay shook his head, didn't think much more, and prepared to smoke.
He also wanted to save up for five and then draw again, after all, five consecutive draws would give out a gold-level reward.
But on second thought, this new season is about to start, and we must quickly improve our instant combat power.
Save five consecutive draws, and you know how long you have to save.
When the strength is strong in the future, maybe you can slowly save five consecutive draws.
But now we have to improve our instant power as soon as possible, because if we can't make it to the NBA next season, it will be useless to save up a five-game draw.
I don't have a girlfriend, and no matter how long you grow, you won't have room to play.
Taking advantage of the fact that he had just washed his face now, Shay decided to use up this lottery opportunity!
After clicking on the lottery once, Shay's heart was in his throat.
Sure enough, the lottery is the same feeling as hearing the sound of high heels slowly approaching when you go to a massage.
No matter how many times you have been there, you will inevitably feel a little apprehensive in your heart, not knowing whether you will be surprised or frightened next.
After a burst of white light, Shay received a new bronze badge - Tough Finish.
Effect: Slightly reduces the distraction effect of the body against the mid-layup.
It seems that the role of this badge is to improve the shooting percentage when forcing a layup.
Shay waved his arm happily, this badge was just right!
Shay's current most relied on scoring means is to hold the ball and rush to the frame, and with this badge, his shooting rate for baskets will undoubtedly be higher.
With his height and reach, plus 78 strength and tough finishing badges, Shay will have a more consistent scoring tool next season.
While Shay was still happy alone in the toilet, Ewing and his mentor John Murphy were happy alone. Thompson was chatting about the game.
"This season, we are strong and have a good chance to challenge for the championship."
Ewing looked at the energetic young people on the court, and then at the '84 NCAA championship championship pennant hanging in the training hall.
That pennant represents not only the glory of Georgetown University, but also the glory of Ewing.
After being killed by Jordan in the NCAA Finals in '82, Ewing was actually very disappointed.
Therefore, Ewing in 84 defeated Olajuwon in the final to win the championship, which is somewhat of a sense of nirvana rebirth.
Ewing is no longer at Georgetown University, but he still hopes that the team can return to the top of the year.
Shock Champion ...... John. Thompson actually thought the same thing in his heart, but he was still modest:
"It's easier said than done, last season's champions UNLV are still going strong. Their star Larry. Johnson averaged 20 points per game in his freshman year and caused us a lot of problems, and this season is definitely even more ferocious.
There's also Duke, who lost in the finals last season, and this season they have added Grant. Hill will definitely make a comeback.
And don't forget our old rival North Carolina, their small forward Rick. Fox was selected as one of the top 10 NCAA handsome guys by Sports Illustrated.
Believe me, he's not just a vase that eats by his face. What's more, he also has George by his side. Lynch, the defensive gate.
The situation next season is still very thrilling.
Well, I'm still pretty confident in our defense! ”
Thompson said, and couldn't help but laugh.
Today, without Mutombo, Mourning + Shay actually restrained Ewing slightly.
If you add Mutombo, then the team's defense next season ...... It's sure to be a pain in the ass for all the teams!
Georgetown's offense may not be strong, but John. Thompson believes that the team can rely on defense to keep the opponent's score lower.
Even, it may be unimaginably low.
From the outside to the inside, the Georgetown brand defensive meat grinder is about to make a big mess in the league.
As for the first unlucky guy to be hanged......
John. Thompson had already received the Big East Conference schedule for the new season a week ago.
The opening game was against last season's Great East Conference champions, Syracuse University.
The main reason why Syracuse University is so competitive is that they have Billy, who just won a bronze medal at the World Championships with the ugly national team and is one of the top three favorites in this year's draft. Owens!
Billy. Owens is definitely an NCAA superstar, averaging 18.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 2.2 steals per game as a sophomore last season.
can dribble, shoot, attack the basket and defend, he is simply an all-around king.
And to be able to stand out from so many players in the NCAA and be called up to the national team to play in the World Championships, his strength can be known.
It's fitting to test Georgetown University's defensive prowess for the new season with a team and a superstar like that.
Last season, George Town was killed by Syracuse University in the playoffs of the Great East League.
That game Billy. Owens blasted 21 points and 8 rebounds, and Mourning and Mutombo set up a net on the inside, but Owens didn't get inside at all and killed the game with a mid-range shot.
But this season is different, and Owens doesn't want to score easily even if he doesn't make it inside.
Because Thompson has decided to hand over the task of defending Owens to Shay!
Little did Shay know that in his first official NCAA game, his coach had arranged a perfect stepping stone for him to finish in the top three picks in the draft.
As for whether he will trip over this stone or step on the stepping stone to shine all ugly, it depends on Shay's own ability.
