Chapter 19: The Four Little Ones of Akron

Drew still didn't do any other testing on Woody.

With so much progress in the physical aspect of the summer, he believes that the rest of Woody, especially the basket he has pinned on him, must have changed a lot.

As soon as he came up, he tested the results of Woody's summer training, but he showed some distrust of him.

Drew, as the head coach, focuses on two words:

Trust!

Although there are times when it costs him something......

Satisfied, the results were stacked, and Drew took Woody and Stephen Curry to pick out the jerseys. He didn't have the idea of letting Curry show it as well.

One and a half years ago he just tried out for Stephen Curry; Second, for how to use Stephen Curry, Drew also has to observe his performance in the team's training games, and concluded that if he can't adapt to the intensity of the high school league, then he should spend most of the new season on the bench.

Children are very perceptive.

Stephen Curry could sense that Drew was deliberately distancing himself from him.

Originally, he was ready to accept Drew's tryout at any time after Woody, but he immediately felt a little lost in his heart. But before he could lower his head, Woody gently patted him on the shoulder, calming his emotions in time.

I'm only a freshman in high school, I look so thin, it's normal for Drew to have some concerns, as long as I play well in training, I can definitely change his mind!

His thoughts also changed at this moment and became much more positive.

Well......

Children are so coaxing!

Drew took them around the arena, the locker room, the game field, and the training field, and after introducing them one by one, he asked, "guys, do you have any numbers to wear for the new season?" I've got to get you guys new jerseys as soon as possible! ”

When Stephen Curry heard the choice number, he didn't hesitate at all, and directly reported the jersey number he wanted to wear: "No. 30!" Coach, I want to wear a size 30! ”

The reason he chose this number is simple, his father Dell Curry has a jersey number of 30 in the NBA. While Stephen Curry loves dunks and has an obsession with dunking, he really respects Dale Curry.

"Hmm...... What about you, Wu, what number are you going to choose? Drew looked at Woody.

When Woody heard Stephen Curry choose a particular number, he began to wonder if he should pay tribute to a wave of Rodman, after all, he was using the Rodman template now.

He knew that Rodman went through the 91st, through the 10th, through the 73rd, through the 70th......

Forget it, don't pay tribute!

With so many numbers, how to pay tribute!

Woody's final pick was No. 9.

The ancient Chinese culture is honored by 9. It's not that he has to be the best person in the NBA, whether it was two or three months ago or now, Woody's purpose in playing basketball has not changed from beginning to end, it is to make a lot of money, make his family proud of him, and let them all live a good life. It's just that with the system turned on, Woody felt that if he couldn't gain a foothold in the NBA and play dominant, it would be a bit low!

With his character, he certainly could not accept such a result.

The choice of number 9 can be seen as his self-motivation.

Drew didn't ask Woody why he chose No. 9 like a reporter, he just repeated the number the two men wanted to choose, and led them to his office.

At the same time, Akron's famous "Akron Brothers" also entered the locker room.

In the just-concluded junior season of high school, LeBron James had a very unsatisfactory time.

First, his mother gave him a Hummer as his birthday present, and the National High School League intervened in the investigation, but fortunately, his public relations team packaged the incident as a "star sponsorship effect" and allowed him to escape without serious punishment such as a ban.

He has always wondered why the alliance wants to stop him when he has the ability to let his family live a prosperous life in advance?

Isn't this a perverted form of exploitation?

Black people still don't stand tall enough!

In the middle of the season, despite the advice of the coaching staff, he insisted on participating in the high school football intercontinental game, injured his left hand, and in order to maintain the "perfect image", he chose to hide the injury and deceived the coaching staff, and as a result, in the finals, the injury broke out, and the form dropped significantly, causing the team to miss out on the final state championship.

After this incident was exposed, he was questioned like never before.

In this matter, he admitted that he had made a little mistake, didn't the team and the league have a little problem?

If the team agrees to play rugby, will he still play under pressure?

If the league doesn't want to see something like this happen, shouldn't they explicitly ban players from "double cultivating"?

Unable to hold his breath, he applied to the league with the help of the team, wanting to make history and participate in the NBA draft early at the age of a high school junior, but was rejected by the NBA official, and he had to play in the high school league for another year.

This means......

In the new season, he can't afford to fail! - How can a man who doesn't even rule in high school believe that he's ready to be the absolute heart of the NBA, the world's highest basketball league?

Therefore, on the first day of St. Mary's "school day", he brought his thick rice to train.

During the change of training clothes, Joyce, one of the "Four Sons of Akron", said: "Unexpectedly, Travis really transferred to another school!" ”

When he said this, his dark face was full of mockery.

It's like saying: this soft egg really can't hold on and leaves!

What he didn't notice was that when LeBron James heard this, a little ugliness flashed on Lao Cheng's face.

Travis was the second-highest scorer at St. Mary's High School last season and the second-strongest player at St. Mary's High School, and his departure is an absolute loss for St. Mary's High School.

Especially when they want to regain the state championship trophy in the new season, this matter is even more serious.

He was silent and didn't say a word, the other three didn't notice anything unusual, Romeo, one of the "four sons", answered disdainfully: "Let's go, let's go, we're not bad for him, before he came, we had already won two high school league state championships, he came, we became runners-up instead, such a guy is a burden, ha~ What do you say, Joyce!" ”

As he spoke, Romeo also revealed his true nature. He also looked down on Travis.

This guy can't tell the "big and small" of this team at all!

It is also for this reason that Travis has been played with by them a lot during his year at St. Mary's High School.

The coolest time, they beat Travis together on the bus.

"I still say the same thing, as long as there are four of us, we only need to stand on the field casually, we are invincible!"

His wild words caused the other two guys to scream.

The more LeBron listened, the more irritated he became, and he slammed the cabinet door shut, and the muscle lines on his arms became more pronounced with this movement.

And this is a body that has not been exercised at all.

The exploding physical talent was undoubtedly on display at this moment. - It is also this talent that makes ESPN, an authoritative sports media in the United States, give the nickname of "Little Emperor".

The locker room fell silent for a moment, and LeBron walked out without saying a word. The excited three automatically shut down, stared at LeBron with wide eyes, and looked at each other.

"That's a lot of pressure!"

Joyce stuck out his tongue, as a brother who grew up playing, he knows LeBron James's temper very well, and probably knows some things about his summer, and the state championship in the new season is a must. But he really didn't expect LeBron James to be under such pressure.

LeBron walked out of the locker room and headed for Drew's office.

The footsteps are unusually heavy.

After the revelation of his injury from the coaching staff last year, his relationship with Drew has taken a subtle turn. In the past, after bringing in new people, Drew would always call him, but this year there was not even a text message.

There are many more similar changes.

But this season's stakes are about whether he can regain his former high school dominance, and he must know what the team is like for the new season.

Different situations require different operations.

This is something that his team has repeatedly stressed to him.
