Chapter Twenty-Four: How Did They Know!
Woody and Stephen Curry showed up on the training ground on time.
It was their second day in the team. But after yesterday's battle, they successfully became the focus of the whole game, and several players took the initiative to nod to them before the "Akron Brothers" did not enter the field.
Especially when he made eye contact with Woody, a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
Yesterday, this guy stiffened Joyce and Romeo, and "sprayed" them so much that they didn't dare to fight back, which was really handsome.
Woody also gave the team members a friendly smile and the image of a sunny and cheerful big boy, and he felt in two words:
Comfortable!
It's just that this comfortable atmosphere didn't last long, and with the entry of the "Four Sons of Akron", the atmosphere went down at once. When Joyce saw Woody, his face was unhappy, he snorted indignantly, his hand unconsciously covered his chest, and his mouth made another "hiss", as if he had encountered something unspeakable.
Woody's elbow yesterday, he still hurts!
But after a while, this guy was going to make a fool of himself in public, and Joyston felt a lot less pain.
Wait for you to die!
Soon, Drew walked out of his office, and before the training camp, he also informed everyone that he was going to play a friendly match against Clifton J. Ozen High School.
When a member of the team standing next to Woody heard that the opponent was Clifton J. Ozen, he whispered to Woody: "Wu, you have to prepare well, the top card of this high school is Kendrick Perkins, a star high school student, just like you, is also an interior player!" ”
When he first heard "star high school students", Woody's heart "Gordon" for a moment, although he easily handled two "star high school students" in the AND1 training camp.
But that doesn't mean he will be in vain when he meets all the "star high school students".
At least if he is a "star high school student" of LeBron James' level, he will be a little vague in his heart.
After yesterday's training game, Drew arranged their own training, and Woody watched LeBron James' individual training for a while, and after watching it, he had a feeling:
What is this special 17?
Not only his appearance, but also all aspects of his body......
Can this be 17 years old?
Now, he understands why he pressed Perkins to the ground and ravaged him, and this guy still ranked him second.
The physical fitness of the first one is really perverted enough!
The kind of pervert that even he's a pervert thinks is perverted!
If he really meets a "star high school student" who ranks about the same level as LeBron James, Woody will definitely feel the pressure.
But when the team member said the name, Woody immediately stopped nervous.
Who did he think it was?
Dare is his old friend!
By the way, I didn't seem to say that I was teammates with LeBron James in the new season, and I don't know if Perkins would be surprised to see him when the time comes......
During the afternoon session, Joyce kept an eye on Woody.
Seeing that he would sit on the bench next to him in a daze after practicing for half an hour, I was even more happy at that time.
In his opinion, Woody is just scared!
"Hmph, just beat us up a few trash, aren't you really scared when you meet a 'star high school student'?" Joyce scolded viciously.
Romeo next to him looked embarrassed.
The "Four Akron Brothers" have played together since childhood, and he knows very well that his buddy is a ruthless person.
But I didn't expect that now I am so ruthless that I even scold myself!
That's too ruthless......
Drew also noticed this situation, his thoughts were the same as Joyce, thinking that Woody was worried about the alignment with Perkins, and he chatted with Woody before the end of training: "Man, take it easy, with your current situation, it will definitely be a little difficult to meet Kendrick Perkins, but it's nothing, it will get better and better, I believe in your growth rate!" ”
Woody looked at him with a look of "no matter what the result is, I will always give you enough trust", knowing that Drew misunderstood, but he didn't explain, he still likes to surprise others!
In order to make this surprise more thorough, Woody also asked "uneasily": "Is he very good?" ”
"Of course!" Drew probably talked about Perkins' strength and rank, "He, like LeBron James, is a senior in high school this year, and he was already in the top 80 last year, and this year he is only afraid that he is the top 40 'star high school students', which is the best group of high school students this year!" ”
Woody didn't expect Perkins' market to be so good.
However, in this way, Woody has a relatively clear understanding of his ability.
Unexpectedly, one summer, I was already one of the best high school students in American High School!
Talent is such a thing!
"Relax, buddy!" Seeing that Woody was silent, Drew tapped him on the shoulder again to let him relax.
After Drew left, Woody continued to sit in his chair in a "daze".
Well......
Wrong!
It should be said that in the eyes of outsiders, he is very much like a daze.
But in fact, he was watching the training of the "Akron Brothers".
Returning home yesterday, he made a special effort to study the St. Mary's High School basketball team last season for the sake of the mission.
St. Mary's High School last season, or St. Mary's High School for the past three years, has been a "4 plus 1" starting lineup, with the "Akron Brothers" plus a pendant.
In the first and second years, St. Mary's High School won the "state championship" for two consecutive years with this set of starters, and Romeo said: "As long as there are 4 of us, just stand on the field and you can win the championship!" ”
Last year's "pendant" was Travis.
It is also the strongest "pendant" in the past three years.
Not surprisingly this year, this "pendant" is him.
Also, Woody looked at LeBron James' stats.
No wonder it was blown like that by the American media!
In the past three years, he has led the team to the state finals three times and won two of them, while the results are remarkable, LeBron James's average points, rebounds, assists, blocks and steals per game are the first in the team.
Such people are born to be successful!
After studying these data, Woody found that task two: breaking LeBron James's monopoly on the list of five basic data is relatively easy, at least in terms of rebounding, Woody is confident enough to get better data than LeBron James.
He can't give up on his defenders and rush to the basket to grab rebounds, right?
Compared with task two, task one: let at least two members of the "Akron Four" go from starters to substitutes, this task is more difficult to complete.
It's true that Woody beats the "Three Akron Brothers" like a dog, but yesterday he observed that the rest of the St. Mary's High School basketball team was no better than them. At most, it's half a catty and eight taels. But the "Akron Three" also has a good understanding with LeBron James.
So, even if Stephen Curry can replace one of them, the other one is really hard to handle.
But with 5,000 achievement points, Woody doesn't want to give up, no, take advantage of the gap in training to observe the playing style of the "Akron Four" here.
Perfect as Michael Jordan, the three-point shot has also been criticized, and there are always some technical shortcomings in the "Akron Four". Woody thought about trying to see if he could find a breakthrough in these aspects!
***
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is September 14th.
It's been two weeks since the start of school, and it's the day of the St. Mary's High School basketball team's friendly match against Clifton J. Ozen High School.
The competition was held at St. Mary's High School.
An hour before the game, the players from Clifton J. Ozen High School entered the court early to warm up, and LeBron James and the "Akron Three Brothers" sat on the bench on the sidelines early, and when they saw Perkins, LeBron warmly greeted them.
"Man, you can see that you are even more fierce!" After Perkins hugged LeBron, he couldn't help but sigh.
LeBron James smiled and patted Perkins on the chest: "Man, you're not the same, you're stronger!" ”
Joyce next to him looked at Perkins's appearance of five big and three rough, and was even more convinced that Woody's death time had arrived!
In this game, he will definitely be beaten badly by Perkins!
After the pleasantries, Joyce touched LeBron James with his elbow, who understood and said to Perkins: "Man, be careful in this game today, our interior line is very good, you better be mentally prepared!" ”
"Could it be that you switched to playing inside?" Perkins asked jokingly, with a slight apprehension in his eyes, and to be honest, if LeBron James was playing inside, he would be a little drumming in his heart. Seeing LeBron shaking his head, he immediately relaxed, "Who is that?" ”
As long as it's not LeBron James, it's all well said.
And, because of LeBron James's words, Perkins' temper also came up.
He has been teammates with LeBron James for two years, and he admits that he is not as good as LeBron, but he thinks that LeBron should also know his ability, why should he be careful with any person?
"Who's that man?"
Joyce sensed the unhappiness in Perkins's tone, almost couldn't hold back a laugh, and was about to say his name, but saw Perkins speak first: "Woody? ”
"yes, that's him, man, and you've studied our list?"
Joyce wondered how Perkins could have known Woody's name. But Perkins stopped talking to him, and even LeBron James was pulled away by him.
Coincidentally, the "Akron Brothers" were standing with their backs to the players' entrance, but Perkins' eyes could see that position, and he spotted Woody as soon as he came out of the tunnel.
Running towards Woody in a hurry, Perkins shouted, "Hey, man, what a coincidence, Woody, how did I meet you here!" ”
Compared to just saying hello to LeBron James, it's much more enthusiastic!
His reaction made the "Four Akron Brothers" suddenly "petrified" in place.
How could they ...... Acquaintance?
