Chapter 22 He's here for a reason

Sonny Vacaro has a well-known eye for fire and can tell the difference between real money and silver on the field.

Actually, this can't be regarded as an ability, because true geniuses are very easy to discern.

Vacaro is confident in his vision, even though he is not a perfect shot.

About a decade ago, he fell in love with a high school student at ABCD training camp and persuaded Nike to offer him a $500,000 endorsement contract, only to see the kid fall at the speed of light after making a lot of money.

This incident taught Vaccaro a great lesson, and since then, when he observes high school students, he pays attention not only to talent and skill, but also to character and heart.

People with bad character will not know how to be grateful and are not worthy of help.

It is difficult for people with poor temperament to become a big thing, and it is not worth making angel investment.

The quintessential example of Vaccarlo's favorite "this is not a thing in the pool" is Kobe Bryant in 1995. Bryant, who was still in his youth at the time, struggled to be the best player in ABCD's training camp, but he told Vacallo on the closing day: "I'm not the best player in training camp right now, but I will be next year." ”

Vacarro still remembers Kobe's demeanor at that moment, when he predicted the future of a basketball superstar.

After so many years, Vakkaro knows countless people, but he can't understand Yu Fei.

It can be seen from the fact that he dared to ask Bryant the question of crossing the line, but he didn't seem to be very smart, because his team had several junior students, which was not good for his team's competitiveness.

Just when Vacaro thought that Yu Fei was going to suffer a big loss, he sent an empty pass to the junior students at the beginning.

Then, he went to play against the shortest player on the other side.

As far as Vaccaro knows, Yu Fei is an inside line.

"Chris, where the hell is that kid named Frye playing?" Vacaro asked, confused.

Chris Dennis, who originally recommended Yu Fei to enter the training camp, was also dizzy.

"Frye has always played center on the varsity team, he's an interior player with guard skills..."

'But he's playing against the opposition defenders right now, and from his defensive point of view, he's moving very quickly and can keep up completely.'

Then, Yu Fei gave Will Bynum a big hat.

"If the scouts see how he's doing now, maybe he can go up the national rankings." Vacaro began to suspect that Yu Fei was forced to play the inside line.

Because his school is weak, as the tallest man on the team, it's normal to play as a cameo as a center forward.

To be honest, it's not surprising that you can dribble like a defender as a center or as a center.

Youth basketball is originally a circle of demon stars.

It's just that there are many demon stars who lose their spirituality after entering the adult-level college competition.

However, the agility that Yu Fei showed was enough to change defenders, which was not something that the demon star could summarize.

It's a real talent.

A big man who can switch guards has endless possibilities on the defensive end.

Vaccaro looked at it and began to feel that something was wrong.

Yu Fei is not just a defender? He's totally playing at back.

With Will Wilkins on the team, Yu Fei didn't need to play center, and then, he also asked Iguodala to play the No. 4 position, and he controlled the ball with great fanfare.

This time, he stopped passing.

In the face of Bynum's big fight, he chose to run over directly with his body, rushed into the interior and hit the board with his signature throw.

Half a minute later, Yu Fei intercepted the opponent's pass, and a dragon counterattacked and scored a violent deduction.

Assist in defending the inside, make the opponent miss the opportunity ball by interfering, grab the rebound ball and break quickly, and make a stop-and-go jump shot on the free throw line in the front court.

In addition to low-post offense and three-pointers, Yu Fei used his offensive skills all over again.

"He's not much like Lamar Odom now." "He reminds me of another person." ”

Dennis asked, "Who?" ”

Vaccaro laughed: "The kid who was overly enthusiastic about Mr. President at the draft. ”

It's pretty much the most popular draft joke since last year.

2000's No. 4 show Darius Myers was emotionally charged after David Stern's name was read out, and walked up to the stage to give the stunned Stern an extremely intimate full body hug.

This led to Stern's detailed instructions on how players and the president should hug at the draft immediately after the draft.

Poor Darius Myers' career was clouded before it even began.

At the time, Vaccarro also believed that Myers would become a new superstar who would be even better than Garnett.

As a result, a year has passed, and Miles' talent shows no signs of materializing.

However, Miles still has time, the so-called rookie looks at three years, if the first three years of his career do not show the possibility of growing into a star, then it can be concluded with 95% certainty, it is impossible for a lifetime.

Now, is it a positive sign that Vakkaro says Yu Fei reminds him of Miles?

Chris Dennis is at a loss.

When Vaccaro saw Yu Fei's team finish the half with a 19-point advantage, he decided to walk away and watch the game on other venues.

"Look again, this kid is not ordinary."

Either way, Yu Fei made it to Vaccarlo's daily watch list.

※※※

Yu Fei didn't know how many people around him were paying attention to him, and in the game against the Oscar team, in addition to playing his own level as much as possible, he was thinking about who Bynum was.

Finally, when he came down from the second half, he remembered.

Will Bynum is a CBA foreign player, but Yu Fei is not very impressed with him, as his active season may be between 2012-2014. At that time, Yu Fei in his previous life was not yet 10 years old, and the reason why he remembered Bynum was because he watched the Guangdong team with his father at that time. Although none of them are from Guangdong, since there is no CBA team in their own province, if they have to watch CBA games, at that time, the Guangdong team was an ideal choice, because they had the first star Space Yi.

And Bynum is the foreign aid of the Guangdong team.

It's just that Yu Fei was too young at the time to remember it very clearly, and he "picked the lock" with Bynum's face again and again, and finally pieced together the memory fragments in his mind into a complete picture.

This made him sad, after the crossing, he had avoided thinking about the events of his previous life, and practiced hard with his head down, just trying to live up to his talent, but now, Bynum made him forced to think of many things.

A few minutes later, the game ended with Team Emerald's first match ending in victory.

Yu Fei wiped the water droplets from the corners of his eyes, and once again strengthened his belief. In the past, he even wanted to play professional basketball in China, but now, he can even see that the NBA has opened its doors to him.

If there really is a God in the underworld, then there is a reason why God let him be here.

He's going to go down this path, and he's going to go farther than anyone else.

"You're amazing, Fry."

After the game, Bynum said to Fei.

Yu Fei didn't appreciate this compliment, but said: "You should apologize to Andre, you misread him, he is very powerful and can help." ”

"I will." Bynum said as he walked over to Iguodala.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise not far away.

All eyes looked at the field, and D'Angelo Collins grabbed the basket fiercely, and two people sat under him, apparently knocked down by him.

Obviously he had already dunked and scored, but he didn't forget to humiliate his opponent by dragging the basket, "You dare to stop me?!" ”

After Collins finished trash talking, the doglegs on the sidelines echoed loudly, and he was definitely the only player on the scene who played with a home feeling.

"That big brother is also very good, but I don't like him." Bynum's big head shook, "It's not that I don't like him as a person, I just don't like his clumsy imitation of the 'Five Tigers', it's not the same thing at all." ”

Yu Fei spread his hands and did not answer.

He didn't like the Michigan Five Tigers, especially after learning about them, and he felt that the legacy of the Five Tigers was basically negative.

They brought the street-style ball ruffian style to college basketball, and since then, everyone has been keen to humiliate opponents when they are ahead, spew unfriendly trash talk, and pull the basket every time they dunk to provoke;

The five people who were selected for the McDonald's National High School Invitational Tournament formed a team, not to mention.

The problem is that the Five Tigers have made a cowhide but have no substantive results.

After playing the Oscar team, Yu Fei and they rested for 20 minutes before entering the second game.

This time they met a mixed formation led by 11th graders, and Yu Fei had a poor pitching hand, so Roy took over the offense and worked directly to help the Emerald team win a streak.

In the final game of the day, the Emerald met Inglewood, who had also rejected Iguodala's arrival.

There is resentment and revenge, Yu Fei combined with sudden shooting, while feeding Iguodala cakes, he once again found his touch in shooting, and the result was naturally unmatched.

On the first day of ABCD training camp, the Emerald team won all three games.

Yu Fei was selected to the first-day best team with an average of 16 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists per game.

Moreover, compared with the school team period, the biggest difference between Yu Fei and Yu Fei in the training camp is the registration position.

His first position is point guard, second is small forward, and third is power forward.

This has led scouts to rate him from one extreme to the other.

The NBA scout at the scene, Yu Fei, wrote in his observation log: "It's hard to have an accurate assessment of Frye Yu. He can protect the basket like a center, attack the position like a small forward, and advance with the ball like a guard. He can also hit three-pointers at the top of the arc, is very confident in his mid-range jumpers, and although he doesn't have a good shooting percentage, he seems to be able to do anything, and the ABCD training camp version of Frye is more like an intermediate version of Darius Myers and Scottie Pippen than Lamar Odom. The question is, can these skills he has work in college? Even, if he had gone straight into the NBA, would he have been able to do what he did today? If the answer is yes, then he should be voted the 2001 No. 1 Pick of the Year. If the answer is no, then his future will largely depend on the development of the team and individual efforts. ”
