A conversation directly burned LeBron James's CPU. He didn't know what PUA was, but he knew how much he had the letters on it.

Obviously, it is impossible to increase the number of rebounds.

Unless he has a fish with Woody to break the net.

But if he really turns his face, he can't even guarantee the ball, and now it's still evenly divided, and the devil knows what kind of data he can play after the trouble. Woody is not good at stubble, and the coach is not on his side, in the starting lineup, the "Akron Four Brothers" have long been broken up, and in the current situation, he doesn't dare to bet, it's better to maintain the status quo.

The "regional race" continues.

After Game 2, LeBron James gradually adapted to the league and began to crush opponents' defenses with his domineering physicality.

There is indeed a big gap between the Ohio Level 2 High School Alliance and the Level 1 High School Alliance, but it is not big enough to change qualitatively.

LeBron James' first game was a bit like Yao Ming, who was in the NBA for the first time, facing a faster-paced, better teamwork, and very targeted Fuli High School, he couldn't play at his own pace and play slowly.

In addition, Woody's performance was too eye-catching, which caused him to be too anxious.

If he is asked to play Fuli High School again now, LeBron James believes that he will definitely not be so badly confined to it.

It's just that although his performance has picked up, he is still the external signature of St. Mary's High School, and his reputation has long spread throughout the United States, and he is more likely to be targeted by opponents than Woody, who has recently become famous.

He was targeted, and Woody was given a relatively relaxed offensive and defensive environment.

Thus......

With a wave of 5 consecutive wins, St. Mary's High School entered the Ohio Division I High School Conference as a "wild card" team, and still maintained a strong momentum, and even the "defending champion" Dracula High School of the Division I High School League suffered its first defeat, but they still maintained a "winning attitude", with an average net score of 13.4 points per game!

LeBron James averaged 26.4 points, 6 rebounds, 7.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 1 block per game, shooting 52% from the field, 30% from three-point range, and 76.4% from the free throw line.

It's just that in the eyes of the media, the reason why St. Mary can still be so strong after "skipping" is not only LeBron James, but also Woody!

Entering the "regional competition", Woody's average performance per game has not decreased but improved, averaging 27.8 points, 17.2 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game, shooting 72% from the field, 0% from three-point range, and 78.5% from the free throw line.

After breaking LeBron James' monopoly on rebounds per game, Woody broke his monopoly on points per game.

Now St. Mary's High School, Woody is the average scoring champion and rebounding champion per game, LeBron is the average assists per game king, steals per game and blocks per game king, plus the "three-point per game king" Stephen Curry, it is no wonder that this time the media did not put all the credit for the team's win on LeBron James.

After playing these 5 games, the time has also come to the beginning of February, and there are still 3 games, and the second stage of the season is coming to an end, and St. Mary's High School has locked in the final "Elite Top 8" after 5 consecutive wins.

LeBron has seven games left until the end of the season......

But his team wasn't going to wait any longer.

"Man, I think we're going to have to do something different!"

LeBron James was puzzled when he heard this, he has been really trying hard to perform during this time, but at the moment, with his ability, he can do these things at most.

He deliberately suppressed his desire to pass the ball to Woody, but if he didn't pass the ball to someone else, the ball would still go to Woody's hands.

Especially Stephen Curry, this guy is just like a and seems to have only his "Woody Giegie" in his eyes!

There were many opportunities to reluctantly shoot on his own, and when he got the ball, he immediately communicated with Woody and gave the ball to Woody under the basket.

This kind of indirect pass to Woody is all counted as Stephen Curry's assists, so there are two or three games in which Curry averages a particularly high number of assists per game, with five or six assists per game.

And James's assists in those games fell to an average of about 5 per game.

Seeing that this was done, Stephen Curry was cheap, and Woody's score was not less, and LeBron James could only obediently bow his head and resign himself to giving the ball to the empty Woody.

He wanted to tell the team that I still wanted to try it, but he knew in his heart that he couldn't suppress Woody's LeBron, and finally agreed to the team's change of publicity in a silent way.

The energy of LeBron James' team is indeed strong, and about 2 days later, ESPN columnist Bill Simmons published an article titled "Woody is too strong to be without LeBron James!" 》

This article highlights two main points:

The first is that Woody, as a rookie, can continue to give brilliant performances, which is inseparable from LeBron James attracting a lot of defense for him;

"LeBron James, as the top name of St. Mary's High School, is the object that other team managers will try their best to study before every game, and he has made the opponent's defense pay a huge price, which makes the Chinese newcomers have a more relaxed playing environment!"

The second is LeBron James's excellent character that makes his teammates better!

"He's the best high school kid in the country, and everyone knows how many teams in the NBA are messing around for him this season, waiting for him, but he's still willing to be a green leaf when his teammates play highlights, he's the best team leader, and he already has the qualities that a good leader can have!"

Because of Bill Simmons' huge influence and novel perspectives, this article quickly aroused heated discussions in the media and was unanimously recognized.

Although Bryan is also defending Woody and highlighting Bill Simmons' suspicion of stealing concepts.

For example, LeBron James was targeted, which is indeed a fact, but being targeted is actually related to his lack of personal offensive means, which can have a good limiting effect, and the opponent will naturally do this all the time, Woody is not untargeted, but he can use his physical fitness to crush on the inside, and he can also float in the middle distance to shoot, limiting him from often doing more, but Bill Simmons only emphasized the name of LeBron James;

For example, the league is not entirely for him, many teams are running for the name of "03 Golden Generation", and they don't have to take the "champion sign", which is essentially different from 97.

In the 97 draft, except for Tim Duncan, and the "Bird II Generation" who was blown into the sky by the "Red Leader", there were no particularly famous players. Everyone's goal is very consistent, that is, to go to the "Stone Buddha".

And in the 03 draft, except for Cleveland, no team said that they would definitely choose LeBron James if they got the "top pick".

It's a pity that his reputation is much worse than Bill Simmons, and the limelight has been brought up, and now the praise for LeBron James is rising.

Everyone thinks that this is a "super newcomer" who is extremely talented and knows how to sacrifice, and is the cornerstone of any team's dreams.

Even some NBA executives who did not want to be named recognized LeBron James, bluntly saying: "If there is a champion signing, it is absolutely stupid not to choose LeBron James!" ”

It's only been a week, and it seems that LeBron James's "top spot" in the '03 draft is stable again!

During this time, the "Regional Competition" in February was over, and St. Mary's High School entered the final "State Championship Elimination" as a "wild card" team with an undefeated record!

No surprise, even in the knockout stage, St. Mary's High School successfully won one opponent after another with a strong attitude. March is coming, and the Ohio High School League has also come to the final championship and runner-up battle.

The two teams that made it to the finals were St. Mary's High School and last season's "defending champion" Dracula High School.

The game attracted a large number of media reporters, and even brought together many retired and current NBA players.

Woody was interviewed before the game.

During this time, his performance became stronger and stronger, entering the knockout stage, he averaged 31.2 points and 18.2 rebounds per game, and was completely "high school Chamberlain".

But his performance is getting more and more eye-catching, LeBron James's reputation is getting bigger and bigger, and Bill Simmons's column is really too big!

Now, as long as Woody plays well, everyone will unconsciously think of LeBron James being sacrificed.

Woody is aware of these things, too, and Bryan made a point of emphasizing the potential impact of these voices: "If these voices continue, once you decide to play in the draft this year, then you are destined to be a foil to LeBron James!" ”

Woody naturally didn't want to be a foil for others, but he didn't act immediately, he knew that LeBron James had a team behind him, and the energy was not small, and suddenly such a public opinion appeared, he believed that it was not a coincidence, in order to avoid misunderstanding, he chose to be silent, but now it has fermented to this point, and there is a tendency to intensify, LeBron and his team did not mean to speak to him.

He knew that it must not be a misunderstanding.

Whether it's LeBron James' idea or his team just thinks so.

Woody can be sure that LeBron wants to step on him.

I'm sorry then......

Facing the media camera, Woody looked serious:

"Last year's Ohio Division II High School League finals were St. Mary's High School vs. Bain High School, and the final score was 88-91, when I saw LeBron James sitting on the bench dejectedly, holding a white towel covering his face, that scene, I only saw once, but I was impressed!

At that moment, I was thinking, if I became a St. Mary's High School varsity player, I would have to win them all.

I believe that St. Mary's High School went from obscurity to the hegemony of the second-tier high school league, and LeBron contributed a lot.

Right now, LeBron James is standing not far from me, and I'm also speaking as a Saint Mary's High School varsity player.

We completed the mid-season skip this year, and we're still on the doorstep of the Ohio Division I High School League finals.

This is an achievement that has never been achieved at St. Mary's High School in the past.

I'm already in my senior year of high school, and I have to think about whether this is the only chance in my life to get LeBron James to kiss the trophy again!

It is my duty to recast the glory of St. Mary! ”
