So just like that, Andre Iguodala, who ranked 68th in the U.S. high school class in 2002, joined Yu Fei's Emerald team.

Why is it so difficult for Iguodala, who is ranked 68th, to join the veterans? There are two main reasons, Iguodala himself does not have the immediate combat power to fight beyond the level, otherwise he would not be ranked 68. Secondly, in the adolescent stage, even if there is only one grade difference, that is, the gap in combat power is very obvious.

This is also the reason why athletes are changed in age in order to pursue youth performance under China's national system.

At this stage, 1 year older will have a clear advantage, what about 2 years older, 3 years old or even 4 years old?

Since ancient times, there have only been a few super geniuses who can leapfrog and fight monsters.

Just when Yu Fei was about to take Iguodala to see how many people Roy had recruited, a mature and steady young man suddenly walked in front of him.

Because this face was so recognizable, it suddenly made Yu Fei's DNA beat in the form of a facial shock.

Yu Fei suddenly turned his head and looked at the man—he was wearing number 155.

"Hey!" Yu Fei shouted.

At this moment, Yu Fei was like Tang Ren who went to the police station to make trouble in the first part of "Detective Chinatown", and the loud "Surprised~~~" made the eyes of the audience focus on him.

Number 155 turned, despite his thick hair, even though he didn't have the appearance of a king, even though he was now only one of the few 10th graders in the training camp... But this face is already one of the most unforgettable faces in his previous life for Yu Fei.

LeBron James!

Yu Fei didn't expect to see him here!

Which is more disobedient to Yu Fei, Kobe Bryant, who has short hair, or James, who has an enviable hairline?

The answer is the latter.

Again, Kobe Bryant didn't leave anything behind Yu Fei's youth, and James, who no longer wore a headband after 2015 and pushed his war with the hairline to the stage, is the most impressive basketball star of all those who are interested in basketball.

"Do you know me?" James asked.

Yu Fei said: "I don't know, but isn't this platform just for us to get to know each other?" ”

James smiled, "You're right, I'm LeBron James from Akron, and I'm number one in the class of 2003. ”

Reporting his national high school rankings when introducing himself is an unspoken rule of training camp, and James is not here to show off.

He doesn't need to show off.

"My name is Yu Fei and I'm from Kent." Yu Fei said, "I was ranked 16th in the class of 2001... LeBron, since you're number one, I think you're already on the team, right? ”

James nodded, "I have my own team. ”

Since James is in the class of 2003, an ironclad junior, Yu Fei can neither be a teammate nor an opponent with him.

After a brief acquaintance, Yu Fei took Iguodala and walked away.

"Fulai, do you know that kid?"

It's funny, Iguodala calls James a child.

But Xiao Zhan is only 15 and a half years old now, and he can indeed be said to be a child.

Although he looks old, his face is still childish.

"Don't you watch the news, Andrey?" Yu Fei said, "Mr. Vaccaro has always said that he saw a child in Akron who would be better than Kobe, T-MAC, and KG in the future, and that was him. ”

"Him?"

Better than Garnett, Kobe, Maddy?

Iguodala was skeptical.

It's normal to have doubts, even in 2003, when James entered the NBA with the halo of the only grade in history, if someone said to you at that time that 20 years later, this man would break Abdul-Jabbar's total scoring record, would you believe it?

It's really rare for something like James to not only live up to the hype, but also greatly surpass the pre-draft hype(1).

After a while, Yu Fei finally took Iguodala to Roy.

As a result, Yu Fei was surprised, and after only a while, Roy really fooled three people into the team.

Moreover, there is a person Yu Fei is familiar with.

It was a white man.

"Captain, my name is Francisco Garcia SG/SF, I was born in Dominica but grew up in the United States and am currently ranked 77th in the 2002 class."

Yu Fei vaguely remembers Garcia playing for the Rockets during the Harden era.

As for what he was going to do, he didn't know, he wasn't a star anyway.

But if the person who debuted at this time, if he was still playing in the NBA until the Harden era, he must also be a qualified role player who has played in the NBA for many years.

The other two are the same level students of Yu Fei and Roy.

They are B.J. Elder, a two-way guard who did not enter the national rankings. Elder PG/SG) and Wes Wilkinson C, a white center ranked No. 100 in the 2001 class.

When he heard that Wilkins was ranked 100th in the United States, Yu Fei said funny: "It seems that you grabbed Brandon's position, and you still dare to join my team, don't you know that Brandon is my good brother?" ”

"I've always wanted to find a chance to get out of the rankings, and I'd be grateful if I could help Brandon get back into the top 100 in the nation at this training camp, because the top 100 is so boring for me," Wilkins said happily. ”

This suspicious Versailles behavior was not pleasant to hear from Roy and Elder to hear.

However, at this point, the number of the Emerald team has reached 6, which is barely enough due to the short single game of ABCD training camp.

After about an hour, the teams were basically recruited.

During this period, Yu Fei recruited another point guard named Gary Ervin PG, who was ranked 94th in the United States in the 2002 class.

Because he was in the eleventh grade and his ranking was low, he was recruited into the team by Yu Fei in the end.

It is worth mentioning that D'Angelo Collins has 11 players on the Crash team, and most of them are seniors in the class of 2001.

If such a team were to be released to compete in the AAU, it would be an absolutely devastating force.

No AAU team has as many high school stars as they do.

To make matters worse for the Emerald team, they are in the same division as Team Shock, and according to the rules of the round-robin, the two teams will meet on the third and final day of the round-robin tournament.

Yu Fei didn't feel anything in his heart, but Roy was scared to death.

"That's Shaq, who is known as 6 feet 9 inches, and he has a group of top high school students around him, how can this game be played?"

The first day of the game has not yet started, and Luo Dacong has already begun to worry about the third day of the game.

"Well, Team Blaster is really tough to deal with, but I would like to know who our first opponent of the day is?" Yu Fei asked.

Roy asked, "B.J, you've seen the schedule, you should know who the first opponent is, right?" ”

B.J. Elder said: "It's a team called Oscar. ”

Hearing the name, Iguodala reacted: "That's Big Well's team!" ”

"Big Will?"

"It's the one who rejected me." "Will Bynum PG, a high school player ranked No. 53 nationally in the Class of 2001 and captain of the Oscar team," Iguodala said. ”

Will Bynum? Another familiar name.

"Shouldn't you be happy?" Yu Fei said to Iguodala, "The opportunity for revenge is coming so soon!" ”

Iguodala, who reacted, also smiled: "Yes, I will prove that he is blind!" ”

"No, you don't have to prove anything to him, you should prove it to me, I didn't look away." Yu Fei educated Iguodala like a leading big brother.

Iguodala nodded like a chick: "Fulai, I will definitely not let you down!" ”

Ten minutes later, the staff came over to remind Yu Fei that their match with the Oscar team was about to start.

So Yu Fei took the players to the competition venue, and they were arranged in Hall 10 of the Rothman Center.

Will Bynum was surprised to see Iguodala playing for the Emeralds.

He didn't know why a top 20 high school student like Yu Fei would agree to let such an eleventh grader join his team.

"You're not worried that he's going to pull you back?" Bynum asked hurtfully.

Yu Fei suddenly hated crossing a little, why did everyone feel very familiar, and then he couldn't recognize people?

Will Bynum? Even the name of this guy is a little familiar.

"You're too short, Will." Yu Fei said impatiently.

Bynum asked displeasedly, "What do you mean?" ”

"You are like a frog at the bottom of a well, short-sighted and unable to see Andrei's future." Yu Fei said in front of Iguodala, "I bet that Andre can enter the NBA, and you, with all due respect, going overseas to be a mediocre American foreign aid is your ultimate destination!" ”

Originally, Bynum was quite in awe of Yu Fei, the top 20 in the United States, but since Yu Fei came up and put on a posture of stepping on his head and humiliating, he couldn't care about anything else.

The smell of gunpowder on both sides was strong from the start.

Then, Wilkins helped the Emerald team win the opening ball, Yu Fei caught the ball and brought it to the frontcourt, as if he knew that there were countless eyes staring at him, he showed off his control luck, and was not nervous in the face of Bynum's forced defense, pushed the opponent away with his buttocks, and asked lightly: "Anxious?" Isn't it that you won't be able to play in the NBA in the future? Not really, right? Hey, Andrey! ”

As soon as Yu Fei's words fell, Iguodala ran to the basket with all his might.

And Yu Fei easily put away the ball, just like those villains in martial arts novels who like to hurt people with hidden arrows, and threw the ball into the air like a dart with a mocking face.

Bynum was too short for him to stop Yu Fei at all.

The basketball flew into the air, and Iguodala jumped up, grabbed it in the air, and smashed it into the hoop in an instant.

"Handsome, Andre!"

Roy knew that Iguodala had two hits, otherwise Yu Fei wouldn't have recruited him into the team, but he didn't expect this guy to have more than two hits, he was just... It's four!

(1) What is a big thing? Under simple popular science, if there is a top rookie in the dark world who wants to debut, this kind of person will be called a big thing. Congratulations, you've learned about useless knowledge again.
