Jim Boham is the person on the planet who is most familiar with the Syracuse University basketball arena.

Since becoming a student at Syracuse University in 1962, he has only played in the professional league for a few years in between, spending most of the rest of his time at the arena.

He became an assistant coach at Syracuse University in 1969 and has been the head coach of the Oranges since 1976.

Coach Jim got his eye on Jack Sue a week ago.

Getting Jack Sue on the roster was supposed to be a trade between him and Reggie Weems.

In college basketball, superstars don't get material rewards, but they do have privileges. Reggie Weems named the Chinese point guard to the squad, and the coaching staff and athletic committee had to secure a scholarship spot for him.

With the unexpected death of Reggie Weems, this 'unfinished project' has become a priority that the coaching staff has to deal with.

In the NCAA, each team's official roster has personnel limits, and they don't want to waste another spot. Because the player roster itself is redundant.

The last week he went back to school and started working. Every day, I can see Su Xi's training of leaving early and returning late, and this kid is working hard and improving quickly.

In the evenings, he also went to play on the surrounding courts.

Coach Jim went to see it twice, and although it was a relatively low-level game, Suhi showed that he didn't have the ability last season.

Jim likes hard players.

And he doesn't discriminate against skin color, he doesn't feel that yellow skin should sit in a business school classroom and study hard and work hard for an offer on Wall Street.

Interestingly, yesterday afternoon, Jim Boham also inadvertently witnessed the whole process of Suhey's rejection of the girl. He was in a daze in front of the office window with a cup of coffee.

Then, he saw a beautiful Chinese girl calling Sushi out of the arena.

This beautiful Chinese girl is very attentive to express her love for Sue, and it can be seen that she is very brave, and she really wants to date Jack Sue.

Jim laughed at the time.

He came from a young man, and he didn't think it was an inappropriate thing.

He even thought to himself: Jack shouldn't be consuming the electricity bill for the arena tonight, and he would go to a hotel to train all night.

However, something happened that he didn't expect.

Suhi actually rejected the girl. He said firmly, "I can understand your emotions because I have helped you." However, you know, I help you because I think you need my help, you just came from China, you have a language problem, and I can also do some simple Chinese. ”

"It's gratitude, it's not love."

Su Xi calmly rejected Huang Xiaoman.

However, Huang Xiaoman stated very clearly: "No, I know very well that this is not gratitude. I just like you. ”

Jim praised this brave girl in his heart, and he knew that Chinese girls were usually very shy.

He hoped that Jack's little bastard would quickly agree to this brave girl, after all, this girl was so beautiful and excellent.

Sushi still shook her head. "You should focus on your studies and you have a bright future," he said. You shouldn't put your energy on me, like I'm going to put all my energy into basketball right now. I can't devote any of my energy to anything else. ”

"I'm sorry!"

Suhi finally gave the girl a gentlemanly hug, and then he returned to the basketball court, and as if nothing had happened, he continued to train, and he was carrying out his training tasks as originally planned.

Jim Boham was shocked, he had seen a lot of restless teenagers at Suhi's age, and he had been on the basketball team for so many years, he knew all too well what these sports stars were on campus. It is not uncommon for girls to come to him crying and accuse some irresponsible basketball player.

As a manager, he tends to put those things down.

This makes many basketball team members feel that this is a 'hint' that can be arbitrarily used in the relationship between men and women.

This guy loves basketball so much?

Coach Jim was blown away at this moment, and he thought of himself... In 1962, he also loved basketball so much, but at that time he confessed to the girl he liked and was rejected.

He then begs his roommate, Dave Bing, to help him get on the varsity team so that he can get more girls in favor. Even chased back the girl, alas, the girl ended up marrying the school's football star.

In his first year, he didn't get a chance to play at all. His self-esteem pushes him to train tenaciously, he keeps improving, and he reaches heights he couldn't have imagined.

Then he forgot about the girl.

In his senior year, he even became captain of the varsity team, and then led the team to the best result in the history of the varsity team at the time with Dave Bing. Then Dave Bing entered the NBA, and he soon returned to school, where he has coached the varsity team ever since.

He saw his own shadow in Suhey... Although this shadow and his shadow are opposite.

But he doesn't mind, it's not normal for people to get old and have a little memory bias. Is there a difference between me rejecting that girl and that girl rejecting me? Did it affect me to become a manager?

Coach Jim thought to himself: Maybe it would be a good idea to keep this little guy on the varsity team. He can stay in the reserves, maybe one day like me?

…

When Gray McNamara showed up at the Syracuse University Orange People basketball arena with a duffel bag, no one recognized the Pennsylvania high school basketball man.

He was wearing simple shorts and a T-shirt and he had come to visit the future home arena.

McNamara is very different from other high school star players in that he doesn't have a bluff of pomp.

Suhi ran frantically around the pitch, sprinting with a sandbag strapped to his legs. He uses it this way to boost his power and explosiveness.

McNamara stood on the sidelines as he watched Suhi sprinting wildly.

I muttered to myself: a different way of training, don't you worry about your knees?

He walked around the arena for most of the time and spent half an hour.

He's happy with the hardware, which is pretty much the same as the coaching staff said when they were recruited. It deserves to be the best college basketball team in New York State.

He walked over and asked Suhi, "Hello, are you a player on the Orange People team?" I'm Gray McNamara. ”

Suhi looked up, it was a white boy dressed in ordinary clothes, with a clear smile on his face.

He said, "Yes." ”

Then, he added, "You can just visit, if you want to play for a while, there's basketball in the back and there's the locker room." The management of our summer vacation is not very strict. ”

McNamara smiled. He thought to himself that this new teammate must not know his name yet.

Yes, this is not Pennsylvania, and its fame has not spread to the whole of the United States.

However, it was also very soon.

After all, my goal isn't to be a normal NCAA player, I'm going to play in the NBA!
