With such great progress being made physically in just one summer, he believed that Woody must have also undergone great changes in other aspects, especially around the basket, which he had high expectations for.
As soon as he came on, he tested the results of Woody's special training in the summer, but he seemed a little distrustful of him.
As the head coach, Drew focuses on two words:
trust!
Although sometimes, this cost him something...
After stacking up the physical test results with satisfaction, Drew took Woody and Stephen Curry to pick out jerseys. He had no intention of letting Curry show them off.
Firstly, he just tried out Stephen Curry half a month ago; secondly, regarding how to use Stephen Curry, Drew still has to observe his performance in the team's training matches and draw a conclusion.
To adapt to the intensity of the high school league, he should spend most of the new season on the bench. Drew's overenthusiastic performance will instead create a psychological gap for him in subsequent arrangements.
Children are very perceptive.
Stephen Curry could feel Drew keeping his distance.
He was originally ready to accept Drew's trial training after Woody, but he felt a little disappointed immediately. But before he lowered his head, Woody patted his shoulder gently and comforted him in time.
his emotions.
I'm only a freshman in high school. It's normal for Drew to have some concerns when I look so thin. As long as I perform well in training matches, I can definitely change his mind!
His thoughts also changed at this moment and became much more positive.
Um……
Children are so easy to coax!
Drew took them around the arena, the locker room, the game venue and the training venue. After introducing them one by one, he asked: "Guys, have you thought about the numbers you are going to wear in the new season?"
?I have to have someone prepare new jerseys for you as soon as possible!"
When Stephen Curry heard about the number selection, he did not hesitate at all and directly reported the jersey number he wanted to wear: "No. 30! Coach, I want to wear No. 30!"
The reason why he chose this number is simple. His father Dell Curry's jersey number in the NBA is No. 30. Although Stephen Curry likes to dunk and has an obsession with dunking, he really respects Dell.
Curry.
"Well... what about you, Wu, what number do you want to choose?" Drew looked at Woody.
When Woody heard that Stephen Curry chose a special number, he also began to think about whether he should pay tribute to Rodman. After all, he is now using Rodman's template.
He knew that Rodman passed through No. 91, passed through No. 10, passed through No. 73, passed through No. 70...
Forget it, it’s better not to pay tribute!
How to pay tribute with so many numbers!
Woody's final choice was number 9.
Ancient Chinese culture respects nine. He does not mean that he must become the best person in the NBA. Whether it was two or three months ago or now, Woody's purpose of playing basketball has not changed from beginning to end. It is all for
Make a lot of money, make his family proud of him, and let them all live a good life. But with the system turned on, Woody felt that if he couldn't gain a foothold in the NBA and dominate, he would be a bit low b!
With his character, he certainly cannot accept such a result.
Choosing No. 9 can be seen as his self-motivation.
Drew didn't act like a reporter and specifically asked Woody why he chose No. 9. He just repeated the number the two wanted to choose and led them to his office.
At the same time, Akron's famous "Four Akron Brothers" also entered the locker room.
In his just-concluded senior season, LeBron James had a very unsatisfactory life.
First, his mother gave him a Hummer as a birthday gift, which led to an investigation by the National High School Association. Fortunately, his public relations team packaged the matter as a "star sponsorship effect" and he escaped without being suspended.
severe punishment.
He has never been able to understand this matter. He obviously has the ability to let his family live a prosperous life in advance, so why does the alliance want to stop him?
Isn't this a kind of exploitation in a different direction?
Black people still don’t stand high enough!
In the middle of the season, he ignored the advice of the coaching staff and insisted on participating in the high school football intercontinental game and injured his left hand. In order to maintain a "perfect image", he chose to conceal the injury and deceived the coaching staff. As a result, the injury broke out in the finals.
, the state declined significantly, causing the team to miss the final state championship.
After this incident was exposed, he faced unprecedented doubts.
He admitted that he made a small mistake in this matter. Doesn't the team and the league have hundreds of millions of problems?
If the team agrees for him to play rugby, does he still have to play under pressure?
If the league doesn't want to see this happen, shouldn't they explicitly prohibit players from "double-training"?
Unable to remain calm, he applied to the league with the help of his team, hoping to make history and participate in the NBA draft in advance as a high school senior. However, he was rejected by NBA officials and he had to play in the high school league for another year.
This means...
In the new season, he cannot fail! - How can a man who has not even dominated the high school court make people believe that he is ready to become the absolute core of the team in the NBA, the highest level basketball league in the world?
Therefore, on the first day of "school" at St. Mary's, he brought his fellow students to train.
While changing into training uniforms, Joyce, one of the "Akron Four", said, "I didn't expect that Travis would actually transfer schools!"
When he said this, his dark face was filled with ridicule.
It's like saying: This weakling really can't bear to leave!
What he didn't notice was that when LeBron James heard this, something ugly flashed across his mature face.
Travis was the second-leading scoring player at St. Mary's High School last season and the second-best player at St. Mary's High School. His departure is definitely a loss for St. Mary's High School.
Especially when they want to regain the state championship trophy in the new season, this incident is an even heavier blow.
He was silent and said nothing. The other three people did not notice the difference. Romeo, one of the "Four Sons", answered disdainfully: "Just go away. We are not sending him away. Before he comes,
We have already won two high school league state championships, but when he came, we became the runner-up. A guy like this is a burden, ha~ What do you think, Joyce!"
As he talked, Romeo also revealed his true nature. He also looked down on Travis.
This guy can't tell the difference between the "Big and Little King" of this team!
It is also for this reason that Travis was teased by them a lot during his year at St. Mary's High School.
The most exciting time was when they were on the bus together and beat Travis up.
"I still say the same thing, as long as there are four of us here and just one person standing on the field, we will be invincible!"
His arrogance caused the other two guys to scream strangely.
The more LeBron listened, the more irritated he became. He closed the cabinet door heavily, and with this movement, the muscle lines on his arms became more obvious.
But this is a body that has not been built by any exercise.
The explosive physical talent is undoubtedly on display at this moment. It is this kind of talent that earned the authoritative American sports media ESPN the nickname "Little Emperor".
The locker room was quiet for an instant, and LeBron walked out without saying a word. The three excited people automatically muted their voices, staring at LeBron with big eyes and small eyes, looking at each other.
"This is really stressful!"
Joyce stuck out his tongue. As a brother who grew up playing together, he knew LeBron James's temper very well and probably knew some of his things in the summer. He must win the state championship in the new season. But he really didn't expect it.
, the pressure on LeBron James has reached this level.
LeBron left the locker room and walked towards Drew's office.
The steps are extremely heavy.
After it was revealed that he hid injuries from the coaching staff last year, his relationship with Drew changed subtly. In the past, after introducing new players in the summer, Drew would always call him, but this year there was not even a text message.
.
There are many similar changes.
But this year's season is about whether he can regain the dominance he once had in high school. He must know the situation of the team in the new season.
Different situations require different operations.
This is something his team has repeatedly stressed to him.
