A residential neighborhood in Chicago, an ordinary dormitory. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The room is small, but clean, with posters of NBA stars hanging on the whitewashed walls. On the extended version of the single bed, a slightly dark-skinned young man closed his eyes tightly, sweating profusely on his forehead, and his body trembled from time to time. A pot of green cacti was placed on the windowsill, and outside, the crescent moon quietly lit up the dark night sky.

Suddenly, Yang Di opened his eyes, and a bright light flashed in his dark eyes.

"45 offensive rebounds, 47 defensive rebounds!"

"Rebound rating D-!"

"I didn't expect the template training to improve me so much, which almost exceeded my usual months of hard training, it was like an epiphany." Yang Di's heart was on fire, after spending all the villain points, in the system template training, he followed Popaye Jones to train for an hour, the two of them stuck each other to grab rebounds, Yang Di for the first time to appreciate what an NBA-level player is.

Popeye Jones is about the same height as Yang Di, and may be a little shorter than Yang Di in real height, but his strength, reflexes, speed, agility and positioning ability completely crush Yang Di.

Especially in judging the rebound landing point, Yang Di is a layman at all.

As a fierce man who once averaged more than 10 rebounds per game in a single season, Popeye Jones has an unusual sense of predicting the landing point of rebounds.

At the beginning of training, Yang Di basically couldn't grab any of his 10 rebounds, and was stuck outside the three-second zone every time. After that, Yang Di fully figured out the essentials of the card position, and under the pull of various means, he finally picked up 1 of the 10 rebounds occasionally, and when the intention was still unfinished, an hour of training passed.

After retiring from the training space, the familiarity of rebounding instantly skyrocketed by one quarter, and even directly hit the NBA's rating standard, to the lowest level of D-level.

If you go down at this speed, you will soon be able to reach the NBA's water cooler level player.

Yang Di glanced at his current overall evaluation of basketball skills, and it also skyrocketed to 44, only a little short of the NBA's minimum rating standard, and the systematic evaluation has also become "a young short rebounder with potential".

……

The second division has a relatively short cycle, and in the case of semi-professional and semi-amateur situations, the game time is not fixed.

There is no such thing as a knockout tournament, just a three-month intermittent start from November, and the Wind Birds have their own set of technical stats within the team.

After Yang Di entered January, he helped the Wind Birds defeat teams from neighboring states such as Iowa and Anna, Indonesia, and grabbed 17 rebounds in a game, you know, the game here is held according to the 15 minutes of the first and second halves, counting the rest time, Yang Di only played more than 20 minutes.

Yang Di got a new main quest to dominate the second-tier league. Description: Players who climb up from the bottom always have to step up to the top, and the host is a key step on the road to professional football, beating all the other teams at least once to become the best player in the second league. Mission Completion Time: End of Season, Reward for Mission Completion: 150 Villain Points, 3 Free Attribute Points.

At this time in the NBA, Yao Ming, as the champion show, is playing well.

In the game against the Heat, he contributed 5 blocks and 8 offensive rebounds, and in the game against the Spurs, he grabbed a career-high 18 rebounds, NBA Western Conference Rookie of the Year in November, and NBA Western Conference Rookie of the Year in January. He is like a red nova rising in the land of this capital. Everyone looked at Yao Ming with admiration, and invariably remembered that yellow people could also play basketball well.

On the last day of January, Yang Di defeated the powerful Tiger Cats in the same city, grabbed 13 rebounds and completed 6 dunks, receiving the first championship trophy in his life.

The crystal clear trophy is engraved with the names of Yang Di and the other players, and the trophy remains at the headquarters of the Wind Birds, who have won the league championship for the first time since the founding of Chicago Union Division II the year before. Smith, a player, coach and owner, invited everyone to a party for dinner.

"Thank you, Dick Young!" Smith looked at Yang Di, who had just cut his head, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

"There's nothing to thank you for, I've learned a lot from playing and training here, and if I want to say thank you, it's me who thank you." Yang Di put his hands in the pockets of his jeans, and his feet were still the same pair of Qiao Seventeen.

"That's it, Dick Young, you're making so fast." Jimmy said with a smile.

"yes, yes, that's a terrifying ability to learn." Everyone nodded, and the speed of Yang Di's progress in the past two months was really visible to the naked eye.

From the wrong position on the court at the beginning, he has basically become the best player in the Wind Birds' sense of helping to defend and retreat, and the most exaggerated is the rebounding ability, it seems that I don't know when it started, all the rebounds jumped to Yang Di's hands, and Yang Di often rushed to get rebounds in the front court and completed the second offensive score.

"I think you're very talented, and you should be on the right path to get the most formal and advanced basketball training in a major league like the NCAA. With your talent, you shouldn't waste playing such a low-level and irregular game with a bunch of people like us. Smith said sincerely.

Yang Di sighed, "To be honest, I actually spent time at the University of Wisconsin at the beginning. ”

Everyone was in an uproar, no wonder it was so powerful.

"But I was actually a sparring partner for the University of Wisconsin Badgers, not an official college player, and then I had a big falling out with the team's assistant coach, and then I came to Chicago to make a living." Yang Di shrugged his shoulders and said.

"You have such a good talent and potential, the coach actually only let you be a sparring partner, this coach is really blind." The University of Wisconsin is in Madison, not far from Chicago, and the University of Chicago here also has an NCAA team, which is not as good as the badgers.

"I know a couple of friends who work part-time as NBA scouts, and I can help you contact them if you can," Smith said. ”

"Scouts?"

"That's right, it's scouts, well, their task is to search for basketball seedlings all over the world, and then pass them on to the home team of the NBA, make a table, put it on the general manager's table, and hand over a cup of coffee by the way."

"It's such a laid-back job, it's enviable."

"Actually, a lot of them work part-time and just do the job as an incident, but there's no denying that this is the NBA, and if you have enough strength and amazing potential, no matter how far-reaching it is, they're going to find you."

"My dream was to be an NBA player, and I wanted to be able to participate in the NBA draft, but unfortunately I didn't get into college." Yang Di sighed, it has always been his regret that he failed to enter the university to study, not only to play basketball, but also to study other things, that kind of cultural atmosphere.

"It's okay, we're sure you'll be in the NBA one day." Jimmy patted Yang Di on the shoulder and comforted.

"Come, drink." Garcia poured a glass of whiskey for Yang Di, and the transparent pale yellow amber-like liquor was poured into the glass, swirling gently.

"No, no, no." Yang Di hurriedly pushed, and then took the large glass of beer on the side.

"I'd better drink this beer, I really can't drink whiskey."

"That's fine." Garcia boldly clinked glasses with Yang Di and said with a smile: "If you become an NBA star in the future, remember to invite a few of us to watch the game on the spot." ”

"Definitely." Yang Di also smiled, the players of the Wind Bird team are very friendly, everyone usually trains and competes, and they also have part-time jobs, which may be more difficult in life, but their personalities are sincere, and they are friendly to each other, and there is no interest exchange, so he enjoys such an atmosphere in the team.
