Chapter 30 Don’t tell me, they know each other too
LeBron James recognizes Woody's ability.
Otherwise he wouldn't have a sense of crisis.
But if, without him on this team, Woody can lead his three brothers and the rest of this team to defeat a high school team led by a "quasi-five-star high school student", he I definitely don’t believe it!
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Not to mention that his three brothers would not cooperate so well when playing with him, even if his three brothers really cooperated with Woody, this matter would still be full of difficulties...
With him, Woody performed well and the team beat the team led by Kendrick Perkins by 31 points!
Without him, Woody's performance is unknown and the game cannot be won!
Is it necessary to discuss who is the "main player" of this team?
Joyce, the "master", is really good at this!
On September 24, the friendly match against Starkville High School came as scheduled.
That morning, LeBron James showed off his acting skills. He held his stomach and looked uncomfortable. He walked tremblingly in front of Drew: "Coach, I must have eaten something bad yesterday. I have diarrhea." I've had my stomach hurt several times and I might not be able to play in the afternoon game!"
"Have you eaten something bad? Is it serious? Have you seen a doctor?"
When Drew heard that LeBron James was not feeling well, his tone was full of concern. A long-lost "three consecutive words of care" made LeBron very warm.
The coach still loves me!
He almost let go of his hand covering his stomach and responded: "Coach, I'm fine!"
But in order to prove that Woody is an "embroidered pillow", he can only continue to show more "pain": "Not yet, I just came to ask for leave, and... I'm sorry, coach, I should pay attention to my diet yesterday! "
"Oh, no! LeBron, kid, this is not an important matter. You can let Joyce say it. You'd better go to the hospital for a checkup quickly. You don't want to play in the game this afternoon!"
It was just a friendly match. LeBron James' health problems were not as important to Drew's mind. He urged LeBron to see a doctor as soon as possible.
To be honest, at this moment, LeBron felt a flash of guilt in his heart...
After all, I decided to go with the plan.
Subsequently, Drew also informed the rest of the team that LeBron James would miss the friendly game in the afternoon.
Just in this case, there is a problem that needs to be solved:
LeBron James' starting position needs to be filled by someone!
this person……
Drew's eyes swept across everyone's faces, and he was thinking about who should take the lead.
Stephen Ku suddenly took a step forward and stood out from the entire team. At the same time, Woody, who was standing next to him, shouted: "Coach, Stephen said he wants to try playing point guard. I hope the coach can give him a chance!"
Drew looked at Stephen Curry with a surprised look on his face, and met his confused look, as if to say: Who am I, where am I, why did I stand up?
In his impression, Curry is a very well-behaved player, and he will complete any training tasks assigned to him.
But because he does have flaws in some aspects now, such as his confrontation ability.
It is also for this reason that Drew basically "freezes" him and always habitually ignores his existence.
At this moment, Stephen Curry's uncharacteristic "confidence" made him aware of this problem. After a little hesitation, he agreed: "Okay, Stephen, I appreciate your courage. I hope you can let me watch this game." To something different!”
Stephen Curry originally wanted to go back and ask Woody why he pushed me, but when he heard that Drew agreed to him starting, he immediately showed a sunny smile and nodded hastily: "Don't worry, coach, I will definitely not let you down."
!”
Looking back at Woody, he saw an even brighter smile.
Thanks to Lao Tie for the push at the critical moment.
This is a real push!
But Woody said, "The challenge has just begun."
He pushed Stephen Curry, naturally hoping that Drew would notice him.
The most important thing is to make Drew notice the chemical reaction between Stephen Curry and him when they work together, rather than just giving Stephen Curry a "starting experience card."
He put his arm around Stephen Curry and said, "Man, how are you doing with your dribbling practice?"
Since the last time Woody persuaded Stephen Curry to practice dribbling and unlock his "dribbling" talent, Curry has never missed this skill again and has been practicing diligently every day. So far, it has been almost a month and a half.
.
Stephen Curry said very confidently that he would never let Woody down.
"In that case..."
Woody whispered in Stephen Curry's ear and conspired with him.
If the plan goes well, he believes that Drew will definitely be impressed by the combination of the two of them!
***
In the afternoon, it’s game time.
Before that, LeBron also came back from the hospital and said that there was no big problem. The doctor asked him to rest for two days and he recovered. When Drew heard this, he was completely relieved and patted LeBron on the shoulder: "Man, that guy
Just have a good rest! Don’t be burdened, it’s just a friendly match, even if you lose, it’s not a big deal!”
He asked LeBron not to have any psychological pressure.
This is actually another reason why he let Stephen Curry play.
Without LeBron James, he didn't think Woody alone could defeat Starkville High School with Outlaw. The opponent was a long-famous "quasi-five-star high school student", and Starkville's overall strength
It is also very strong. This friendly match is mainly about training and letting Woody and Stephen Curry feel the atmosphere of the game.
LeBron James pursed his lips in great emotion, and silently swore in his heart that this would only happen once, and he would never do it again.
When Woody "reveals his true colors" in this game, he will definitely fulfill his responsibilities as the core of the team and lead St. Mary's High School to win the state championship in the new season.
Give the championship trophy to his old mentor.
Just waiting for LeBron James to enter the arena, he could have frowned.
Not because of the enthusiastic atmosphere at the scene, the entire auditorium was already packed with spectators before the game started.
But because...
Are there too many reporters?
There were quite a few reporters at the last friendly match, including six or seven media outlets. This kind of exposure is rarely seen in an ordinary high school league friendly match.
But the exposure of today's scene is much more exaggerated than that one.
More than ten media outlets!
This is already the exposure that only some state finals can have...
In the audience, LeBron James also spotted more scouts than in the previous game!
This made him frown unconsciously.
This kind of exposure is no longer just because of him.
What went wrong?
He moved his butt left and right to soothe his inner feelings, and then he saw another scene that shocked him:
Travis Outlaw, a "quasi-five-star high school student" in the United States...
When Woody came out of the tunnel, he actually took the initiative to say hello.
