Woody's words came true. He really didn't get any playing time in this game.
He was very happy for Woody's outstanding performance, but he...
Don’t forget, Dell Curry told him when he was flying out of Akron: “Stephen, I believe you can do it!”
He didn't want to disappoint his father.
He wants to prove his ability!
Woody stole the show this afternoon, but he was also keenly aware of Stephen Curry's somewhat depressed mood.
On the way back from the arena, Woody patted Stephen Curry, who was still a little listless, and said to him: "Man, believe me, when the new season starts, you will definitely have a lot of playing time!"
"Really?" Stephen Curry looked up, with a look of anticipation that soon turned into full of doubt. He thought it was unlikely.
Woody said: "Of course it's true! When Drew was chatting with the assistant coach, I secretly listened to a few words. He said that you are the 'secret weapon' of St. Mary's High School in the new season! You will bear a lot of responsibility in the new season.
Important role!"
"Really?" Stephen Curry asked again. The difference was that he actually believed it when he saw Woody looking so serious.
So I am the "secret weapon"?
Cough~
Um……
Children are so easy to coax!
This was naturally made up by Woody. He had never heard of Drew's chat with the assistant coach.
However, it is not considered nonsense.
Stephen Curry's abilities are actually more than enough for him to be an ordinary starter.
Since he has already planned to get rid of two of the "Four Akron Brothers", there is still a high probability that Curry will get one of the starting positions in the future.
It’s just that Woody needs to try to make some situations happen so that his probability of entering the starting position becomes 100%!
Don’t ask why, the question is that Stephen Curry has the best relationship with him. LeBron James and his three good brothers who grew up playing together are in the starting lineup. Of course, he can also be with Stephen Curry.
help each other.
Most importantly, Woody has not forgotten that Dell Curry trained him for half a month, which greatly accelerated the improvement of his shooting ability. This favor must be repaid!

"How's it going, Xiaodi, did you perform well in today's game?"
When Woody got home, Wu Erzhuang impatiently posted. He knew that Woody had a friendly match to play today. This was Woody's first official game. He was really worried that Woody would not perform well today.
When I go to work, I tend to be a little distracted.
"It's not bad, anyway, after the game, an NCAA scout handed me a business card!"
"Really?" Wu Erzhuang suddenly became excited, his face flushed, and he urged to see the business card.
Woody took out the business card given to him by a scout from the NCAA Division I League, and Wu Erzhuang spelled out the letters on it word by word in his broken English: "Kang~Nie~Di~G... This is good
School!”
Hearing his comment, Woody was happy: "Hey, uncle, I can't tell. Do you know anything about American universities?"
"That's..." Wu Erzhuang said a little sarcastically, "Xiao Di, after all, your second uncle has been living in the United States for so many years. Let's put it this way, apart from not making any money, there is nothing wrong with him!"
Hoo~
I don’t know what I’m so proud of!
But yes, without the energy to shout, how could you have been struggling in the United States for so many years and still have the "American dream"?
Wu Erzhuang returned this card to Woody and told him to put it away, maybe it could come in handy in the future. Woody thought so too, so he put all the business cards of scouts from the second-tier league.
The only thing in the locker room that he brought back was this business card.
Then Wu Erzhuang happily continued to prepare dinner.
Today's dinner was much richer than usual, and even steak was served.
Although meat and dairy products in the United States are very cheap, if you buy at a certain time, you may still be able to buy more favorable "discount meat". This is the reason why many NBA stars born in slums can grow tendons.
, this place really has no shortage of meat.
But even so, tonight's dinner is much more luxurious than ordinary.
While eating dinner, Wu Erzhuang habitually turned on the Akron local station, and happened to see the news reporting on this friendly match. To the right of the host was a picture, which showed the moment Woody completed the dunk.
Extremely domineering.
Below the picture is the headline of the news: "The next 'Chinese No. 1 pick' will come from St. Mary's High School?"
Wu Erzhuang, who was holding a big bone stick and chatting with relish, saw the news. His eyes immediately straightened and his bones stopped chattering. He moved the stool under his butt towards the TV and watched the TV attentively.
, listening to the host’s report.
When he heard that Woody scored 20 points and 15 rebounds in this game, and saw that almost all reporters gathered around Woody after the game, Wu Erzhuang could not hide his inner shock and turned towards
Woody looked over with a puzzled look on his face. Do you call this "okay"?
"You are really good!"
Wu Erzhuang discovered that his eldest nephew had a very serious problem:
too humble!
If it had been him, he would have blown it to the sky!
"Stop being so humble with your second uncle in the future, do you hear me?"
As he spoke, he got up and walked towards the house. As expected, he was going to announce the good news to Wu's parents again.
"Second uncle, please take your time and brag before you scare my parents again!" Woody looked at his excitement, rolled his eyes, and shouted at his back. Wu Erzhuang didn't reply, Woody
He shook his head speechlessly and continued to eat the steak.
However, the impact of this friendly match was far from that. Early the next morning, Wu Erzhuang knocked on Woody's door like crazy, woke him up, and handed him a newspaper.
The big title above:
"The "biggest dark horse" in this year's high school class? The "super newcomers" from one to five are actually from China? "
Wu Erzhuang also pointed at the title of the newspaper: "The Ohio State Journal, the Ohio State Journal, this is a big newspaper for the entire Ohio and neighboring cities! Xiao Di, now you are really famous!"
Half an hour later, when Woody was walking on the campus of St. Mary's High School as usual, he also realized this:
He is really famous!
Students from St. Mary's High School who were coming and going would shout loudly whenever they saw him, especially some girls, who boldly ran around and stuffed notes into his hands, which said "See you in the school woods tonight".
"I have the key to the school rooftop" and the like are words that make people think they are not serious at first sight.
Woody doesn't have these thoughts. It's not that he can't do it down there. His sexual orientation is normal, but he is only 17 years old and his body is still developing. He doesn't want to squander his talent casually.
There is a saying that goes well: when you are young, you don’t know what is expensive, but when you get older, you forget about it and shed tears!
and……
They can't even afford a room!
But want to take away his "first time"?
What a shame!
Um……
It can only be said that Woody, who has not experienced certain things, thinks like this about certain things...
