"Coach, I'm all right!"

"No, Dwyan, you're not well!"

"Really, Coach, I'm really fine!"

"Actually, Dwyan, you don't understand what I mean, don't read it, you can recuperate for a while, anyway, there is still a game before the All-Star Weekend, I think you can rest a little more and come back with a better attitude!"

"But the coach ......"

"Well, Dwyan, it's decided, okay? You've always been the one who worries the coach the most......"

"Does it give you more peace of mind than Woody?"

"Of course, man, you're the most worry-free!"

……

The phone hung up, and Stan Van Gundy breathed a sigh of relief.

Pat Riley was not wrong, Dwyane, this kid, is really easy to deceive.

Of course, if anything, Stan Van Gundy didn't lie to him.

Because compared to Woody, he is indeed a worry-free child.

Woody's first season showed his growth, and Stan Van Gundy couldn't help but wonder if he could really help the kid and bring out all his potential.

Will I delay this child's growth......

Stan Van Gundy often had this realization:

If Woody doesn't end up being a "superstar", then the blame is entirely on him!

The last game of the Heat team faced the Mavericks again, and the Heat returned to their home court in this game, but it was a pity that the Mavericks played well in this game, and everyone felt great, not to mention, although Cuban's lineup was crazy, but once all of them had enough touch, it was indeed an unstoppable "offensive chariot".

In the end, the Heat lost the last game before the All-Star weekend with a 12-point loss.

But for the Heat, there's nothing to be frustrated about.

The same is true for Woody.

During the time of Dwyane Wade's injury, the Heat achieved a 5-1 record, which was definitely the first time Wade's injury was reported, and the media did not expect.

This team really just watched Woody play!

As for Wade, it's an addition now.

Otherwise, how could Wade be so desperate to make a comeback?

He was afraid that if he didn't come back, there would be no one left!

This defeat can be regarded as a relief for his "urgent need", and the whole person suddenly felt a sense of relief...... It took two or three seconds.

No, now I definitely can't relax!

I have to fight this "comeback battle"!

When Wade thought about his situation, he was extremely impatient.

In such a situation, he completely forgot what the doctor told him to pay attention to rest after recovering from the injury, and his current thoughts are:

I've got to work harder!

He knew very well that after Woody played the game against the Mavericks, he went to Akron overnight to attend LeBron James' jersey retirement ceremony, and then he had to go to Los Angeles immediately for All-Star Weekend.

Then he has at least two more days to train.

It's not enough to get closer to Woody, though.

But the so-called "drop of water wears" and "perseverance", as long as he keeps accumulating like this, seizing every time Woody drinks coffee and devotes himself to training, then he will get closer to Woody little by little.

Just do it!

At that time, he went to the stadium.

At the same time, he called Pat Riley and revealed the news to him, intentionally or unintentionally:

On the first day of the holiday, I didn't relax, but continued to be ruthless with myself~

It's no harder than the guy who went to the ceremony where his former teammate's jersey was retired!

Pat Riley expressed his affirmation of Wade on the phone, but he hung up the phone, and he showed a boring expression again:

I've talked about it, it's too tired!

Woody and his second uncle returned to Akron after 8 months.

Compared with last year, after Woody donated a total of about 250,000 US dollars in basketball equipment, the traces of Woody in this town have become more and more significant.

Wu Erzhuang went back to the original rental house.

Woody received a call from Curry and rushed to meet him in Akron's dorm room.

I haven't seen each other for another two months, Stephen Curry......

No change!

It's still that immature face like a primary school student.

He seemed to be getting taller, but Woody wasn't sure.

His figure is still thin, and there is no obvious change.

It is worth mentioning that St. Mary's high school league journey this season has come to an end, they did not lose a game last season with 27 consecutive wins, this time they barely entered the regional competition, but fell to the "knockout" stage, 8 teams, they only won 1 game, and stopped in the final 8.

Stephen Curry's performance is not bad, as a sophomore, he can average 20.4 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.2 steals per game, and shoot 1.5 three-pointers per game.

"What Coach Drew means is that next season will allow me to pivot and focus on playing the No. 1 position......"

Stephen Curry is a little tangled.

Of course, he hopes that he can become a "marksman" like his father.

However, so far, his height has not shown signs of rising rapidly, and he is afraid that it will be difficult to grow to more than 1.96 meters.

And his dribbling talent is really good......

It seems that the transition to the No. 1 position is a better choice.

Woody thought for a moment: "Otherwise, if you train with me this summer, you'll know if you're suitable for the No. 1 position!" ”

Stephen Curry has his dad to help him teach.

But this summer, Woody's trainer is the famous Grover, Jordan's queen trainer, and he will definitely help Curry more than he does, especially if Stephen Curry really does transform......

Dell Curry still delves into projection a little bit more deeply, and is certainly not as good as Grover in other aspects.

When Stephen Curry heard Woody's words, he immediately showed a happy smile, nodded busily, and thanked him vigorously.

Woody waved his hand indifferently, when he was still a "hidden dragon", Dell Curry helped him a lot, and later on whether he should enter the NBA directly, he also gave very sincere advice, although Woody did not listen to him, but these friendships, Woody still remembers, now Stephen Curry has reached his confused period, can help is a hand.

That night, Stephen Curry pestered Woody and didn't let him go, and the two of them "talked passionately" all night, Stephen Curry asked a lot of things about the NBA, and it could be seen that he was really yearning.

Woody said: "Otherwise, you will be like me, play in the high school league, and go to the NBA!" ”

Stephen Curry was slightly stunned, this is the path he never envisioned, in fact, all his efforts so far are running to enter Duke and become a part of the Duke Blue Devils as his father hopes.

Participate in the draft right out of high school......

It seems like only a super genius like Woody would do it.

It's crazy for him!

He asked, "Woody, do you think I'll make it to the NBA?" ”

Woody said: "Of course, boy, you're going to be a great player, and if you believe that, then you're going to be able to do it!" ”

He didn't know if Stephen Curry would make it to the NBA, but the recent improvement in mid-range shooting efficiency has made him discover one thing:

Self-confidence can improve a person's ability level!

When he believes that the ball can go in, then his shot will be more determined than usual, and the process of shooting will be more fluid.

So......

"Stephen, there will always be doubts from the outside world, but you have to believe that you can be a player!"

Curry just looked at Woody like this, and listened to his words, his eyes were a little uncontrollable.

Is this the professional player in the NBA?

It's so cool to talk to!

Early the next morning, LeBron James showed up at St. Mary's High School with his team, dressed up in elaborate costumes.

A group of reporters at the scene were already waiting here.

It's just unfortunate that ......

When LeBron James appeared, Woody also arrived at the gates of St. Mary's High School.

Although these reporters knew that LeBron was the protagonist today, many of them subconsciously turned the "gun" and rushed towards Woody.

Compared with LeBron, who retired his high school jersey, interviewing this year's All-Star starter Woody seems to be more topical.

You know, not everyone has the opportunity to give Woody an interview before All-Star Weekend.

Well, it's a showdown, in fact, most of the reporters who came today have many reporters who came spontaneously without accepting the invitation.

LeBron James' team also found out about it, but gave them passes anyway.

I thought it was LeBron's personality charm that conquered these reporters.

Now it seems that these guys are clearly "drunkards don't mean to drink", and they are running for Woody.

For a while, you can't tell whose home ground this is!

But this is also normal, the promotion of Adidas and "Sports Illustrated", coupled with the recent successive victories of the Heat, Woody's popularity has reached a new height, and the original kind of super rookie is the "supergiant" level exposure treatment.

Now add to that the overwhelming propaganda he brought with himself.

The entire NBA media circle seems to be shouting the same name:

Woody!

Woody!

Woody!

An ESPN "King", where can he compete with him?

It's really ......

Wherever my brother goes, it's my brother's home field!

LeBron James, who was in a good mood, looked at Woody, who stole most of his limelight, and the expression in his eyes changed and changed, and he finally suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and did not express it directly.

However, this is a reminder for him:

In the future, you must not appear in this kind of place that may be robbed of the limelight, even if it is the Hall of Fame ceremony of your "good brother"!

What he wants......

The eyes of the audience are focused!

This feeling of resonance lasted until the end of the jersey retirement, and during this time, whenever he "rubbed" with Woody, those reporters turned the camera and gave Woody a close-up. So much so that LeBron James didn't dare to "wipe the edges" later.

A retirement ceremony that was completely different from what he imagined was over......

What's even more infuriating is that after the jersey retirement ceremony, the first question the reporter asked him was: "St. Mary's High School will retire Woody's jersey in April, will you be on the scene like Woody?" ”

LeBron James resisted the urge to trash-talk and said: "You know, we are all professional players, in terms of arrangement, we need to see the itinerary after that, I hope I have time, this is my good brother's retirement ceremony, we had a very good time!" ”

He finally decided to maintain this "brotherhood"!

But the next day, to his heart, most of the media chose to report on Woody, and only a small number of media did not forget their original intention of going to Akron, which was to report on LeBron's jersey retirement ceremony.

If you look at the heads of these media outlets, oh, it's all the media that Nike and their own team arranged.

Just Woody stealing the limelight from him doesn't count.

The Heat also had someone stealing the limelight from him.

That person is ......

Dwyane Wade!

The "Big Cheeks" had just recovered from injury, only to have the news that he would miss the All-Star Rookie Challenge with a muscle strain that morning.

This is special, it's a "wolf extermination"!

Use this way to grab traffic for your brother.

You guys won, all right!

LeBron James is very painful, and he is still counting on this jersey retirement ceremony to make fans resound what kind of "pride of the sky" he was back then!

It turned out to be so rough*!

The Heat team doctor saw Wade with a painful expression, especially when he heard him say that he was practicing again, and he was also a little tired: "No...... Didn't you say it all? If you pay attention to rest, why don't you listen? ”

He felt the need to have a good conversation with Pat Riley and let the "spiritual guide" persuade the child.

He could keenly feel that Wade was under a lot of pressure.

Sources of stress......

It's likely to be the Heat's winning streak this time.

"Anyway, in the next month, you have to take a good rest, don't practice like this again!" He was afraid that Wade would forget, so he specially wrote every letter squarely.

Seriously, looking at Wade like this, he almost thought about teaching him to read it by hand to make sure he could understand the meaning.

Then I called Pat Riley.

The "God Operator" still doesn't care.

If you say "stupid birds fly first", then you have to "stupid birds fly first".

If you have cramps in your wings, don't you fly forever?

How can that work!

Wind and rain rainbow, sonorous roses, don't you understand!

He called Wade, inquired about his condition with concern, and openly and secretly recognized Wade's injury.

This made Wade's heart as sweet as eating bee feces~

The mind is getting more and more perverted!

Therefore, when this player enters the NBA, he must know how to protect himself, and he must not meet an "old pervert" like Pat Riley, otherwise, you may become what he wants.

When Woody learned the news, he also called Wade and asked him to rest well before he could come to Japan.

But the call was considered a "sweet bomb" by Wade!
