Chapter 5 System Tasks
Early the next morning, Woody showed up at the training ground on time.
When he arrived, everyone else had almost arrived.
Among them, the two most famous guys among the five guest high school students: Travis Otlo and Kendrick Perkins.
Outlaw's height looked a little taller than Woody's, so he looked tall and thin, like a bamboo pole. There is no smile on his dark face, and he just stands like this, which makes people feel like a killer with feelings;
Kendrick Perkins is about the same height as him, but he is much more aggressive than Outlaw, and his stout figure is at least 3 plus sizes larger than Outlaw. When he looked at Otero, his face was a little unconvinced, as if to say, "Why is such a little chick in front of me".
Woody also made many students look sideways, but more because of his skin color.
Yesterday, a Chinese man just became the "champion" of the NBA draft!
This morning, Yao Ming also caused controversy, some media said that "Yao Ming can become the first Chinese champion in the NBA, which is related to the league president David Stern's desire to develop the Chinese market, otherwise Yao Ming's ability alone will definitely not be selected in the first round of the first pick." ”
Woody also saw the report.
Even "CBA Chamberlain" has borne such a big doubt, and he knows that every step he takes in the future will be spent in doubts, until all these doubts are trampled under his feet.
The evaluation of Yao Ming by the American media has aroused heat, and it has also made Woody, who is in the training camp at the moment, particularly conspicuous.
They just looked at Woody curiously, and didn't come up to provoke Woody for no reason.
The main Woody is taller than most of them, and the whole scene, and the height of Otlaw and Perkins can steadily overpower him. Most of the others were inferior to him in height.
The coercion brought by his height made him look very difficult to mess with.
After a while, another person entered.
The conspicuous explosive head, strong muscles, and burly figure look even bigger against the backdrop of the gray elastic vest.
He appeared, and there was a commotion at the scene.
It's none other than the NBA's new "inspirational story" Ben Wallace!
From the undrafted in '96 to the winner of this year's "Defensive Player of the Season" award, his face is full of two words:
Vicissitudes!
Otlaw and Perkins' eyes also changed when Ben Wallace came out, with a bit of longing.
Every year, 100 high school students in American high school basketball become "star high school students". But each year the NBA picks only 58 rookies.
Coupled with the fact that some "starless high school students" will be born in the NCAA, this means that even the 45th-ranked Oterlo will not be able to make the NBA in the future.
They looked at Ben Wallace and hoped that if they really encountered the worst in the future, they could be like Ben Wallace and be reborn from the ashes.
The eyes of all the students in the audience were focused on Ben Wallace, Ben Wallace was also looking at them, looking around, he nodded slightly with satisfaction: "guys, I like your eyes very much, full of momentum, I hope to see you in the NBA in the future!" ”
Ben Wallace has a fierce appearance, but he is very good at saying things that make people angry.
Or rather, he knew exactly what these sixteen or seventeen-year-old high school students wanted!
Without exception, they are all sprinting vigorously towards the NBA.
His words made the atmosphere of the entire training camp obviously hot, and the faces of each student, more or less, showed enthusiasm.
The trainers were in place, and the first day of training began in earnest.
The trainees first warmed up under the guidance of the trainer, and after about 40 minutes, they were gathered again, and Ben Wallace appeared in front of them again, looking like he had just warmed up well.
"guys, everyone knows what kind of player I am, here, unfortunately, I can't teach you fancy dribbling skills, I don't have flashy scoring skills, all I can share with you is endless hand-to-hand combat and ferocious fighting skills!"
"It's a very shocking fact, but it's real, in addition to superstars, there are more in the NBA, and it's all green leaves!"
"However, there are many ways to change the game, and sometimes, a successful defense, a desperate rebound, can change the situation of the game, and it can also be a hero, the key to the game!"
To understand the importance of rebounding, Ben Wallace chose "Animated Illustration" in order to explain some of the basket operations more vividly, and he pointed to Outlaw: "Boy, I heard that you are the highest-ranked high school student in this gang, come on, let me try your strength!" ”
Otlow's body stiffened slightly.
When he first received a special invitation from AND1, he deliberately chose Ben Wallace as a mentor, just to challenge his weakness: rebounding and confrontation.
But that doesn't mean he wants to be like a monkey and let Ben Wallace play in public.
However, at this moment, as Ben Wallace called him by name, all eyes of the audience were on him, including Perkins, and he could only stand opposite Ben Wallace.
"Come on, boy, I'll tell you how far you're from the NBA!"
Ben Wallace smiled fiercely, revealing his white teeth, but it made Outlaw even more nervous.
There was one thing, Otlaw was wrong.
He was not played by Ben Wallace like a monkey, but like a little chicken, he was "carried around" by Ben Wallace.
His thin body, every confrontation, makes people worry about whether he will be broken by Ben Wallace.
For a total of 5 rounds, Ben Wallace was able to easily grab the basket every time, and Outlaw did not have the ability to respond.
Two people are not at the same level at all.
This has no teaching value at all.
Scratching his own explosive head, Ben Wallace let Outlaw back on the line, and he was also a little embarrassed.
Actually, he wasn't serious at all.
But these 45 high school students in the United States still can't stop it.
Are all the current "star high school students" so watery?
"Who else wants to try it!"
Ben Wallace knew that a total of 5 "star high school students" were invited to this training camp, but Oterlo's performance made him lack interest in these "star high school students" and did not want to continue to call their names.
Perkins laughed out loud as he watched Outlaw scramble Ben Wallace on the court.
Can this be ahead of me?
He was ready, and when Ben-Wallace called him by name, there was a strong contrast.
But Ben Wallace didn't name him.
A little impatient, he hurriedly spoke: "I, I, I, choose me, Ben, I want to try it!" ”
He screamed loudly, and the other people next to him, who had also wanted to try it, quietly retracted their little hands.
The results were obvious, and Ben Wallace naturally recognized his face and knew that he was one of the "star high school students". Looking up and down at his physique, looking at his sturdy body like a little calf, he nodded with satisfaction, with a little expectation in his eyes: "Then come on, let me see, your ability!" ”
The confrontation under the basket does require physical conditions.
Although Perkins is not much taller than Otlow, his stocky body is not comparable to Otlow.
Ben Wallace also felt the solidity in the first confrontation.
A smile appeared on his face.
You have to have such a body, and it tastes good enough!
And Perkins himself does this, which belongs to the professional counterpart.
In the first round of the competition, the trainer next to him threw the ball towards the rebound, and the ball began to bounce back, Ben Wallace didn't get rid of Perkins, but because the latter was eager to grab the rebound, Ben Wallace seized the opportunity, pouted his ass and destroyed his center of gravity, and successfully protected the rebound.
"Smack!"
Ben Wallace turned his head to Perkins and said, "Boy, I have some basic skills, but I lack experience and I am not stable enough!" ”
These words made Perkins even more combative.
It's just that Ben Wallace, as the NBA's "rebounding king", has the ability to compete for rebounds is the top one in the NBA, even if Perkins riveted his strength, he couldn't snatch even one rebound from Ben Wallace's hands in the final five rounds.
However, Perkins was much better than Otlow, enough for him to return to the team with his head held high. But when Perkins came off the court, he was still a little annoyed, as if to say, there are a few rounds, and the rebound should be mine, hey~ It's still a little unlucky.
At the same time, he secretly looked at the others, observing their expressions, and when he noticed the slightest hint of surprise in the eyes of the group, his heart blossomed. Although he was tired enough, he was able to harvest these surprised eyes, which made his vanity greatly satisfied.
"But...... This NBA's rebounding king is really bullish! Perkins muttered to himself that he had tried his best, but he still hadn't grabbed a rebound from Ben Wallace's hand, and he was sure that Ben Wallace hadn't used his full strength, maybe only 70, no, half the level.
In this matter, Perkins overestimated himself a little, let alone half of it, his five-round confrontation was at most to arouse Ben Wallace's interest. As Perkins walked off the court, his eyes began to sweep across the court, looking for people who might be causing him difficulties, and soon his eyes lit up and he had a catch:
"Wow, not a common face, hey, man, I didn't mean anything else, but, come on, let me see what you're capable of!"
It was none other than Woody who was named.
As one of the few students in this training hall who is more than 2 meters tall, coupled with this skin color, Ben Wallace has actually noticed him a long time ago and wants to see his ability, but he doesn't want to be too targeted and misunderstood. After trying Outlaw and Perkins in quick succession, he was finally able to satisfy his curiosity and try different skin tones.
The eyes of the audience were focused, and even Otelo and Perkins cast curious glances at him. And at this time, Woody's expression was also slightly stunned, not because Ben Wallace called his name, but because in his mind, there was a long-lost system prompt:
"Genius debuts like no other, try to impress Ben Wallace before training camp is over!"
At the same time, the virtual screen that only Woody himself can see automatically appears.
It reads:
"Mission Progress: 0%.
Reward for completing missions: 2000 achievement points.
PS: Achievement points can be used for system upgrades, as well as to enhance instant combat power; ”
Woody:!!!
