Chapter 1 Three and four excellent defenders
January and February are the most popular time for major sports events in the United States. At the end of January, rugby is playing the Super Bowl, which has great influence in the world. The NBA regular season is also in the middle, and it is the time when [-] teams from the east and the west are fighting. At the worst time, Li Shihao chose such a time period, and there was naturally a reason for him to come to his alma mater Syracuse.
Due to the restrictions of the league's regulations, the management of NBA teams cannot contact NCAA players in private during this period. If such a thing happens and is made public by the pervasive media, it will definitely suffer from the league's top management immediately. the punishment issued.
The league issued such regulations mainly because they were afraid that teams and players would sign secret agreements in private before the draft, and make some obscure secret agreements in private, which violated the fair competition between teams.
Timberwolves general manager McHale would not dare to do such a strictly prohibited thing. This kind of incident of crossing the line of fire has always been thankless, and it is a double-edged sword. Not something that never happened.
During this period of time, not only the NBA competition is intensifying, but the NCAA is also brewing. Most colleges and universities in the United States are brewing strength, and many colleges even have the urge to rush into the championship and take a gamble in March Madness.
During this period of time, it is the time when many players in the NCAA show their strengths. Who will be likely to participate in this year's draft, and what kind of benefits the Timberwolves can get from it, all these need to be sorted out by McHale.
And Li Shihao came to his alma mater Syracuse with such a purpose!
Since the management cannot come forward, it is perfect for Li Shihao, who has the status of a player, to investigate. Moreover, Li Shihao still has the identity of the core of the team. Can be more sincere.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned to Syracuse, former competitor Wesley Johnson was the first to issue a provocation.
In the season of last year, Wesley Johnson was always dissatisfied with Li Shihao being designated as the core of the team by head coach Jim. Being able to become the core of the team is only because of the ridiculous basketball IQ of the head coach Jim?
This sentence is not half persuasive in Wesley's heart. When Wesley started playing basketball, I don't know how many people praised him for his excellent basketball intelligence. Even last year, Li Shihao led the team to play a historic six-overtime match , In Wesley's view, luck is more important than strength. He even thinks in his heart that if he was on the court and defeated an opponent like the University of Connecticut, one or two overtime games would definitely be enough, and six overtime games would be enough. Pure waste of time and energy.
There is a reason for Wesley to be so confident.
During his sophomore year, Li Shihao once had a bullfight with Wesley Johnson. At that time, although Li Shihao made some progress, he still couldn't win the bullfight.
Although he scored three or five goals in that duel, he still swallowed the bitter fruit of failure and was severely laughed at by the cronies around Wesley.
Know your shame and be brave, the ridicule and discrimination of others will never defeat Li Shihao.
On the contrary, Li Shihao's desire to become stronger became more and more intense, which led to the amazing transformation of the junior season.
Maybe Wesley Johnson himself didn't know that behind his hostility to Li Shihao, there was also a deep fear, which he didn't even realize, and even hindered his progress.
His disdain for Li Shihao has risen from the beginning to the point where it is enough to pose a huge threat to him, especially when Li Shihao is flourishing in the NBA, Wesley's heart is undoubtedly rotting secretly, an indescribable feeling Emotions take root and grow in his heart, and the blessings and misfortunes are unknown.
…………
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the game between the two teams started on time, Syracuse University played against Marshall University.
Li Shihao sat on the sidelines, watching the players of Marshall University intently on the court, with a hint of curiosity in his heart.
Syracuse University is his alma mater, and he has maintained regular attention. When exchanging emails with head coach Jim, he will often talk about the strength of the players in the team.
This year, Syracuse University did not add any potential rookies. Even if there are outstanding rookies, they will rarely perform crazy this year. Without outstanding exposure, it will be difficult to be selected by the league's 30 teams this summer.
All the young players who can be selected are the ones with high talent and potential. Such players often don't have enough playing time and tactical status in the first year, and they can't play impressive statistics. Even if they participate in the draft, they are soy sauce It is better to accumulate more game experience in the NCAA arena.
After all, those super rookies who have been famous all over the United States in high school often choose some prestigious schools, or college teams with vacant core positions. The former can bring them education, contacts, exposure and other factors. , and the latter can allow them to obtain a higher tactical status and enough playing time, which can save a lot of time hanging around on the bench.
Today's Syracuse Oranges clearly don't fall into either category, and won't be the college of choice for those super rookies.
To be honest, Li Shihao looked through the Marshall University team lineup, but he couldn't find the "surprise" that the head coach Jim said.
In comparison, Syracuse University led by Wesley Johnson is indeed very strong. This year's record has not dropped much compared to last year. Wesley's strength perfectly filled the gap in the lineup after Li Shihao left school.
Whether it is from the team lineup or tactics, Marshall University has no chance of winning.
Syracuse University has Wesley Johnson at the helm. On the other hand, there are no famous rookies in the Marshall University team. Most of them are well-known players in the state. I am afraid that they will be inconspicuous on the stage of college students in the United States. .
And Marshall University itself is not a well-known university in the United States. It is not as good as Syracuse in terms of teaching conditions, faculty equipment, etc. It is difficult to achieve the profound influence of Syracuse in the United States. Under such conditions , Marshall University's basketball head coach can also be imagined, it will not be a famous coach, and I am afraid that it is not as good as Jim's tactical quality.
In this way, Li Shihao became more curious about Marshall University. What kind of player would make his college mentor Jim praise him with a "surprise"?
