Drew still did not conduct other tests on Woody.
Having made such great progress physically in just one summer, he believed that Woody must have also undergone great changes in other aspects, especially around the basket where he had high expectations.
As soon as he came up, 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 the physical test results with satisfaction, Drew took Woody and Stephen Curry to choose jerseys. He had no intention of letting Curry show it 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 come to the conclusion that if he still can't 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 prepared to accept Drew's trial training at any time after Woody, but he immediately felt a little disappointed in his heart. But before he lowered his head, Woody patted his shoulder gently, calming him down in time.
I'm only a freshman in high school. I look so thin. It's normal for Drew to have some concerns. As long as I perform well in training games, 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, including 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?" Really? 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 he chose this number is simple. His father, Dell Curry, wore No. 30 in the NBA. 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.
Woody heard that Stephen Curry chose a special number, and 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 wore No. 91, No. 10, No. 73, 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 respected the number 9. He doesn't 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 the beginning to the end. It is all to make a lot of money and let his family regard him as a player. 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 be dominant, he would be a bit low b!
With his character, he would definitely not be able to 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 unhappy time.
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 figure this out. 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 during the finals. , the state declined significantly, causing the team to miss the final state championship.
After this incident came to light, he faced unprecedented doubts.
He admitted that he made a little mistake in this matter. Don'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 early 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 convince others that he is ready to become the absolute core of the team in the NBA, the world's highest level basketball league?
So on the first day of "school" at St. Mary's, he brought his Homies to practice.
While changing into training clothes, 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 hold on and leaves!
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 will not send 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 spoke, Romeo also revealed his true nature. He also looks down on Travis.
This guy can't tell the difference between the "big and small kings" 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'm still saying 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 wild words caused the other two guys to scream strangely.
LeBron became more and more irritated as he listened, and slammed the cabinet door. The muscle lines on his arms became more obvious with this movement.
But this is a body that has not been built by any exercise.
The explosive physical talent is clearly displayed at this moment. ——It is this kind of talent that earned ESPN, the authoritative American sports media, the nickname "Little Emperor".
The locker room fell silent for a moment, and LeBron walked out without saying a word. The three excited people automatically stopped talking and looked 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 that LeBron James would be under such pressure.
LeBron came out of the locker room and walked towards Drew's office.
The steps were extremely heavy.
After it was revealed that he hid an injury from the coaching staff last year, his relationship with Drew changed subtly. In the past, when a new player was introduced 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 emphasized to him time and time again.
