002: You kid knows basketball!(1/3)
5 p.m., Georgetown University Basketball Arena.
Xie Yi raised his head and looked at this huge building, feeling extremely uneasy.
I wonder if I can play here in the future?
With an uneasy feeling, Shay walked to the door of the arena.
The doorman took off his reading glasses and looked at Shay.
Realizing that Shay was not on the basketball team, he stopped him.
When there is no game, people other than the basketball team are not allowed to enter or exit the arena at will.
Except for cheerleaders who need to rehearse.
But no matter how bad his eyes were, he knew at a glance that Shay couldn't be a cheerleader.
Which cheerleader has thicker arms than my legs?
"There is no game today, kid, go back."
"I'm not here to watch the game. Kevin Butch is your scout, right?" Rorschach asked.
"Kevin what?"
"Kevin Butch!" Shay saw that the doorman seemed to have bad ears, so he turned up the volume.
"What Butch?"
"Kevin Boo...forget it, uncle, just cool down first."
Shay was speechless. He finally experienced what life is like a drama.
His embarrassment at this time was exactly the same as in the play!
When Scheidt was troubled, a black man with glasses and gray hair walked to the stadium door carrying a briefcase.
He glanced at Shay, looked up and down for a few seconds, and then showed a coquettish smile:
"Are you really here? Come on, let's go in and chat!"
After saying that, he couldn't wait to hold Shay's hand.
After Shay stared at the opponent for a few seconds, he realized that he no longer needed to find the scout.
The head coach of Georgetown University's amazing team was standing in front of him!
As a walking "World Basketball Encyclopedia", Shea recognized the man in front of him. He was none other than the legendary coach of Georgetown University, John Thompson!
This guy started coaching at Georgetown University in 1972. In 1984, he led Ewing to defeat Olajuwon and win the NCAA championship.
He is the first black coach in NCAA history to lead his team to a championship.
However, his most talked-about deed was not leading the team to win the championship, but in 2001, a plane he was originally going to take was temporarily canceled because of his seat, causing him to miss the flight.
And that plane ended up crashing into the Pentagon.
This is a man who joked with death.
John Thompson laughed and led Shay into the gym. It looked like he had been looking forward to Shay for a long time.
When passing by the doorman, Thompson proudly introduced:
"Old Andy, remember this young man's appearance, he may become our secret weapon next season!"
Shea felt that John Thompson might have made a mistake somewhere.
There’s also a secret weapon. My attributes are so low that I feel terrible looking at them!
No matter what, let's join the basketball team first.
If the coach really makes a mistake, then try to correct the mistake!
Joining the basketball team is the only way for Shay to get a rookie gift package without transferring to another school.
Entering the gym, walking through the halls and corridors, Thompson pushed open the door to the basketball court.
There was a "bang bang" sound from the basketball hitting the wooden floor inside, and a dozen tall and strong men were shooting freely on the court.
Shay just casually glanced at the people on the field and immediately spotted two incredible guys.
One of them, No. 55, who has long arms and legs, is tall and powerful, will be the four-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year, a finger-wagging performance artist, Dikembe Mutombo, known as the roof of Africa!
Of course, Dikembe Mutombo is just his abbreviation. If you want to write out his full name, you can write a chapter directly.
Next to him stood a muscular man who was a head shorter than him but with a strong build.
He is the future soul of the Heat, the "Kidney Fighter" Alonzo Mourning who is still powerful even after losing his waist!
Xie Yi was shocked. A small college basketball team actually had two young players at the same time.
Georgetown University is indeed a famous basketball school!
You can easily pull out two Hall of Fame centers.
Mutombo and Mourning also noticed Shea following the coach. The two stared at Shea and whispered about something.
It was the first time for Shay to see an NBA star so close, and he was still a little excited.
Although Shay is not a star-chasing person, he suddenly saw someone he usually only saw on TV, and it was inevitable that he would be a little curious.
Shay was even more excited when he thought that he might fight side by side with these two in the future.
Playing with NBA players is something I never dreamed of before!
But without bothering to say hello to them, Shay hurriedly followed the coach into his office.
"The office is a little messy, don't mind, sit down, kid." John Thompson was very friendly, in sharp contrast to the self-important old man on the wrestling team.
Invisibly, Thompson narrowed the distance between him and Shay.
"Shay, I think Butch has told you, we want you to join the basketball team.
You are in such good physical condition, it would be a pity if you do nothing for the next year.
And our basketball team just needs someone like you.
By the way, have you ever played basketball before?"
"I played for a while in high school and practiced for two and a half years!"
"Well, not bad. But from the information I read, you seem to be a sporadic high school student, right?"
"Uh... this may or may not have stars, but actually... uh...
Although I am only a high school student, I am a five-star good citizen!" Shay hesitated and prevaricated.
"Hahaha, don't be nervous. It doesn't matter what high school star you are in high school. What I value is who you are now.
Come on, let’s go to the basketball court and I’ll see what you can do.”
Thompson picked up the whistle on the table and led Shay back to the basketball court.
He urged all the players to go to the other half, leaving an entire half of the court for Shea, and then threw a basketball over.
Shay caught the basketball with one hand. With his current body, he can easily catch the ball with one hand.
"Come on, let me see how you usually play."
Shay looked at the basketball in his hand, so, this is considered a trial training, right?
Sure enough, the coach called me here because of my outstanding physical condition.
Now, the coach has to see if he can play ball.
Shay didn't know how to show himself. To be precise, he didn't know what he had to show.
Shea had no choice but to walk to the basket and dunk.
This is the thing he is most confident about at the moment.
Although Shay's jumping attribute is only 65, with a height of 2.06 meters and a wingspan of 2.28 meters, it is easy to dunk without the need for strong jumping ability for support.
Moreover, in the first two days after Shay traveled through time, in order to fulfill his dream of dunking that he could not realize in his previous life, he dunked on the school's dam court.
Therefore, Shay still has a certain degree of proficiency in dunking and will not dunk the ball.
Thompson nodded, well, this guy dunks easily and his physical condition is really good.
And the dunk is very powerful. Georgetown University needs this kind of strong man.
Then, Thompson discovered that Shay had been dunking and had done nothing else...
Shay: He probably didn’t realize that I only know this, right?
Thompson: Isn’t this kid just good at this?
"Shay, like this, you dribble and break through from outside the three-point line." Thompson directed.
Shay swallowed, it's over!
My own dribbling attribute is only 55. If I don’t do this well, my secret will be exposed!
But there is no other way. We have to stabilize the situation no matter what, and we have to bite the bullet.
To be continued...
