Budao began to officially participate in the team training of Oak Hill College.
In the United States, the team training tasks of strong basketball schools are quite heavy, and Coach Smith himself is a coach sent from a traditional school. The amount of training he assigns to the players is the best among similar schools.
Although the training volume is heavy, the training plans formulated by the coaching staff for the players are also very different.
As one of the top basketball colleges in the United States, Oak Hill College has a coaching staff of more than ten people. In addition to the team doctor and nutritionist, the rest are various assistant coaches.
Most of these assistant coaches have NCAA competition experience. Some are good at physical training, some are good at player performance, and some are good at ball skills and technical tactics.
There are many high-level teaching assistants in various fields.
As for Coach Smith, he is the one who coordinates the overall situation and allows the corresponding players to conduct appropriate training.
On the first day that Budao came to the team, he did not participate in training with other players.
Although Wu Dao played basketball at Oak Hill High School for a while before, it was almost a year ago since he last played basketball in front of the coaching staff.
Coaches need to develop a personal training plan for martial arts based on the current comprehensive performance of martial arts.
After yesterday's practice match with Lower Merion High School, Wu Dao's "declaration" has already been widely circulated within the small circle of the basketball team.
Some people didn't take Wu Dao's words to heart at all, just like hearing a joke and forgetting it.
But the members of the coaching staff listened to what Wu Dao said. When Wu Dao came to play at Oak Hill High School, the team's head coach and a group of assistant coaches had a deep understanding of Wu Dao.
The well-informed assistant coaches feel that martial arts really has the ability to impact the NBA. Even if they cannot achieve many outstanding results in the NBA, at least they feel that there is no problem in using martial arts skills to impact the NBA. .
Coaching an NBA-level player, even just a rotation player, is a pretty good resume for these assistant coaches.
Even if Wu Dao can make a start in the NBA in the future, these high school assistants must be the people Wu Dao trusts most. Joining an NBA star's personal training team or an agent team in the future will definitely be a good job for these assistants.
Since Wu Dao has the intention to impact the NBA, the assistant coaches will do their best to help Wu Dao achieve this dream.
After the team assembled, Coach Smith led the other players to start today's training, but his training only occupied half of the field, while the other half of the field was specially reserved for martial arts.
On the edge of halftime, seven or eight assistant coaches were surrounding Wu Dao. In the stadium, there were two assistant coaches setting up the court, preparing to give Wu Dao the most comprehensive physical test.
The content of the test is diverse. In addition to the measurement of the most basic physical data, there are also return runs, touching heights, self-shooting and grabbing within one minute, confrontations with assistant coaches, and dribbling tests around obstacles, etc. wait wait wait.
The ultimate purpose of testing various projects is to know what the shortcomings of martial arts are, and subsequent training is to help martial arts make up for these shortcomings.
There is no need to say much about Wu Dao's physical data. The sophomore Wu Dao is 203.7cm tall and weighs 101kg, and his wingspan is terrifying, 221cm, which is almost 17cm longer than his height.
The physical statistics of martial arts are absolutely explosive among yellow people. Generally speaking, yellow people have such big men, but not many big men can have such an excellent wingspan.
Not only that, Wu Dao is also very fast. He ranks first in the entire team in half-court turnaround data, and is two seconds faster than the team's fastest defender, Jamel Stannie.
The teaching assistants carefully photographed the martial arts test process and found that the explosive power of martial arts is terrifying, and the acceleration is also very fast. The speed peak can often reach about three or four seconds during the turnaround.
This is something that players with poor explosive power do not have. In the 50-meter return run, many people often spend several seconds accelerating back and forth in the 50-meter return run.
For martial arts, it often only takes a split second or two or three steps to go from standstill to complete acceleration.
Not only that, Wu Dao's running height also reached a terrifying 373cm. This kind of jumping data ranks first among the entire team.
Of course, the assistant coaches have heard that some players on some teams can achieve such terrifying statistics, but combined with other martial arts data, this is the first time they have seen a player with such talent.
Except for the bench press, which was not tested, the data of various tests of Martial Arts have been released one after another. Compared with the previous test data of Martial Arts at Oak Hill High School, Martial Arts' various abilities have been steadily improved this year.
Although the improvement is not huge, it is indeed an improvement.
The assistant teachers who noticed this were extremely excited. You must know that the physical test data of martial arts itself is already quite terrifying. It is actually possible to improve on such a basis. This is what makes the assistant teachers excited.
This means that there is still room for improvement in the potential of martial arts.
After almost two hours of testing, the team doctor led Wu Dao out of the arena. Under the arrangement of Coach Smith, Wu Dao needed a full-body CT examination.
Many times, high school players' strong athletic performance is often accompanied by injuries. Strong athletic performance cannot just fall from the sky; it often requires rigorous training.
Coach Smith was afraid that Neon's mediocre coach would overwhelm the physical talent of martial arts with massive "training". At the same time, he is also afraid that there are any "hidden injuries" in martial arts that will explode in subsequent training and competitions.
Therefore, whole-body CT examination is quite necessary.
The final CT examination results obtained by Wu Dao were also quite gratifying. He was in good health, and even the degree of cartilage wear was much less than that of his peers, which was similar to ordinary people who did not exercise often.
Coach Smith was in disbelief when he got this result, thinking that the team doctor had taken the wrong CT when he came back. After all, players of martial arts level have deeper cartilage wear than other players. Coach Smith can understand that, but unlike ordinary people almost.
This was the first time he had seen this situation.
In the end, Coach Smith could only attribute his martial arts situation to his "extraordinary talent."
Coach Smith was very satisfied with the results of a series of martial arts physical tests, and he also made several copies of the video tape in private, preparing to give martial arts a pass.
Of course, a talented player should be known to more people. Increasing the exposure of the team's "star" is also very important for coaches like them.
From Coach Smith's perspective, as long as martial arts continues to develop on its current path, he will definitely be able to enter the NBA in the future, and I'm afraid it will also attract competition from many teams.
By then, not only martial arts, but also his head coach will be in a better position.
Whichever team wants to get this player will probably need the help of his head coach to say good things, and saying good things is not free.
McGrady was valued by Adidas. In order to convince his high school coach to sign McGrady with Adidas instead of Nike, Adidas' executives promised to give McGrady's high school coach a fee of 150,000 US dollars a year. After McGrady signed with Adidas for several years, the coach would be able to earn several Year.
Therefore, when a star player breaks into the NBA, the "economic benefits" he can bring are unimaginable by others.
Only people in the circle know how beneficial it is to train an NBA player.
This can also explain why these high school coaches are keen to go to various places to discover outstanding players. There must be love and talent, but the most affordable things are also indispensable.
This principle is the same no matter which country in the world you are in.
For a whole morning, Wu Dao did not participate in training with the players.
In the afternoon, Coach Smith organized a team practice match to allow the martial arts and the players to get familiar with each other.
Of course, what he said was to make the martial arts and team members familiar.
But Coach Smith's inner plan is to establish Budo's status as soon as possible and let players who don't know him know him.
The martial arts performance in yesterday's match was so-so, and not everyone was convinced.
The afternoon practice match was a stage specially set up by Coach Smith for martial arts.
Although the martial arts after a night of adjustment has not adjusted its own state to the best, it is enough to compete in practice matches.
One afternoon, Wu Dao played freely on both offense and defense. Charles, who was facing him, was beaten terribly by Wu Dao. He only scored 6 points in one game and was completely suppressed by Wu Dao.
Martial Arts scored 67 points in a single game, leading a weaker rotation to win the game, beating the starters by 11 points.
After more than an hour of rest, Coach Smith let the main lineup and rotation lineup play another game. In the second game, Wu Dao did not play.
The final result was that the main lineup won the practice match with a huge advantage of 24 points.
Although the winning or losing of the two practice matches does not mean anything, the players have all played against martial arts and know the huge sense of oppression that martial arts can bring when on the court.
Moreover, there are two different levels of teams with and without martial arts in the rotation. The players also see this.
Although no one said much, everyone knew that Oak Hill High School officially welcomed their super ace today.
In mid-January, while other high school students were still immersed in their happy holidays, Oak Hill High School ushered in the second stage of the NFHS league.
Virginia, where Oak Hill is located, has nearly 400 high schools eligible to participate in the NFHS league.
The first stage of the competition is a knockout round. Nearly three hundred high schools will be eliminated in this stage, and the remaining teams will compete in a round-robin competition.
During the round robin stage, Oak Hill High School players need to travel to various regions and schools in Virginia to play away games, and sometimes need to return to their own schools for home games.
High-intensity round-robin tournaments will take place in January, February, and March.
The players of Oak Hill High School will experience dozens of games, large and small, in two and a half months.
Some of these games are away from home, and some are at home. In short, the competition is very intense, and these games often attract many fans and scouts to watch.
There are many famous high school basketball powerhouses in Virginia, but none of them can be said to be a threat to Oak Hill High School, one of the top high schools in the country.
If you were in a place like Florida, California, the competitive pressure would be much greater.
With the start of the NFHS league series, Oak Hill College directly ushered in a strong 12-game winning streak on the road in January.
And on the last day of January, Oak Hill High School ushered in their last opponent of the month, Bethel High School, also in Virginia.
Just mentioning the name Bethel High School, most people will probably find it very strange.
But when it comes to a star from this team, I think everyone will know him.
Allen Iverson, the "short man" known as the answer in later generations, his high school alma mater is Bethel High School!
Of course, Iverson is no longer in Bethel High School today. He was promoted to Georgetown University a year ago and has become a college player.
That is to say, when Budo went back to Neon to play basketball, Iverson once led Bethel High School to teach Oak Hill High School a good lesson.
However, in today's game, Oak Hill not only lost its most feared opponent, but also had a new leader.
In the previous 12 games, Budao led Oak Hill High School all the way with an average of 41 points per game.
In the series of games, Martial Arts has already established its absolute majesty among the team, and Oak Hill has also been transformed in this short period of half a month, becoming unprecedentedly powerful.
Regarding today's game, the players of Oak Hill were all holding their breath, and they must express this breath on the head of Bethel High School!
"I'm coming!"
"The Oak Hill High School players are here!"
"That's Oak Hill's trump card, that yellow guy!"
Coach Smith led the Oak Hill players into the Bethel High School gymnasium. Today's game attracted many fans to watch the game. The small players of Bethel High School were still being watched at this moment. The audience was packed.
When Wu Dao and others entered the arena, the arena suddenly became lively.
Oak Hill Academy performed very well this year, and the presence of martial arts has gained some reputation in the state through previous games. Many people who came to watch the game today came for martial arts.
A yellow man who averages 40+ points per game. Everyone is curious about this "novel species".
After briefly greeting the referee and the coach of Bethel High School, Coach Smith returned to the team and instructed the players to prepare for the game.
Wu Dao was sitting on the bench, binding his feet before the game with the help of his teammates. In his spare time, Wu Dao was also observing today's opponent, and he also saw a slight figure in the auditorium behind the rest area of Bethel High School. A familiar figure.
