Drew is looking forward to Woody.
But when the game started, a bit of worry emerged in the eyes of anticipation.
Woody's confidence when talking to him, as well as Woody's outstanding physical talent, are the reasons why he thinks highly of Woody.
With another summer, Woody improved his physical fitness again, which made him even more convinced that Woody must have made great progress in basketball.
It’s okay even if there’s not that much progress!
High school basketball, to put it bluntly, is a physical sport.
Let’s just say that the “Three High School Elites” of the 2001 draft, the “No. 1 pick” Kwame Brown’s template before the draft was a combination of Kobe, Malone and Webber; the “second pick in the first round” Tyson Chandler LeBron James is called the "next Kevin Garnett"; Eddie Curry, the fourth pick in the first round, is even called the "next Shaquille O'Neal"!
As a result, after his rookie season, Tyson Chandler, the best performer, averaged 6.1 points and 4.8 rebounds per game, while Kwame Brown, the worst performer, only averaged 4.5 points and 3.5 rebounds per game.
Such a horrible performance is naturally far from their template and is full of absurdity.
But if you look at their performance in the high school league, you will find that they really have a tendency to develop towards the above template.
The reason is that their physical talent can be crushed in the high school league, but in the NBA, when facing players whose physical fitness is not weaker than theirs or even better, their immaturity in all aspects of technology is exposed.
Woody's physical fitness is definitely at the "Three High School Elites" level among other players at St. Mary's High School except LeBron James. At this time, there is no need to care about his basketball-related skills.
But, the truth is this...
What if?
Fortunately, his worries disappeared instantly as the game started.
Drew had never seen the rocket take off live, but the jump ball between Woody and Joyce gave him this feeling.
He straightened his body and leaped high into the air, like a rocket, easily seizing the right to attack with a suppressive bounce.
Woody showed an astonishing bounce at the start, and the sidelines of the court instantly transformed into the AND1 scene of that day. Even LeBron's expression appeared dull for a moment.
He is a person who has seen the world. He not only plays in the high school league every year, but also plays in the AUU amateur league. That league is full of adults. Although it is an amateur league, the intensity of confrontation is higher than that of the high school league. Quite a few, but he has never seen many with Woody's physical fitness.
Woody's teammates looked at Woody's amazing bounce when he jumped the ball, and then thought about what he just said, and now they were even more convinced. After arriving in the frontcourt, in addition to the player in charge of the ball, the other two people began to spontaneously fight for Stephen Curry. Run a pick-and-roll.
Curry looked like he hadn't graduated from elementary school, and his body was still very thin, but on the court, he was as nimble as a rabbit. The one guarding him was Romeo who had just taunted him. Originally, he thought he could easily handle Stephen - Curry, after running two steps behind Stephen Curry, he was almost out of sight.
His agility made LeBron's eyes light up. Drew's expression was not much better than his, and his mouth was slightly open in surprise. Although he had seen Stephen Curry's off-ball movement in the trial training, the trial training was so confusing. Chair running and running away from position on the playing field are two different concepts.
On the field, it is not easy for him to move so freely and effectively at his age.
He truly deserves to be Dell Curry’s son!
The ball is open and Stephen Curry takes the ball and shoots.
His teammate who passed the ball to him did not have that good vision and found him open a little late. When he took the shot, Joyce was in place to defend and successfully interfered.
The ball went slightly wide and hit the frame.
"Rebound!"
Several shouts almost sounded at the same time. The opponent under the basket who was confronting Woody was trying his best to carry Woody, but the moment the ball bounced out of the basket, he felt a huge force pushing him away. , by the time he regained his footing, Woody had already jumped up and grabbed the backboard.
With a wipe in the opposite direction, Woody avoided Joyce's "black hand" and hit the ball into the basket.
2-0!
Excellent confrontation under the basket, accurate jump to grab the ball, and skillful secondary scoring under the basket...
In this short round, Drew saw so many things from Woody.
He sure had a great summer!
"Please put some pressure on me, I thought my opponent had just been weaned!" After finishing the score, Woody returned to defense and shouted in the direction of Joyce and Romeo.
This was what Romeo had just laughed at, and now Woody returned it to these two people intact.
An angry Joyce held the ball and rushed towards the basket, trying to give Woody some trouble.
Woody observed his path to the inside, and his NCAA-level interference ability allowed him to easily interfere with Joyce's final layup.
Joyce felt fierce in his heart, and as soon as the ball rolled out of the basket, he immediately flew towards the ball.
Seeing that the basketball was getting closer and closer, a pair of big hands appeared above his head and grabbed the basketball first. The sound of "pop" echoed in Joyce's ears like thunder.
From the perspective of a bystander, the visual effect of this ball is even more amazing!
This is a complete "picking melons on the head"!
Probably knowing that he was embarrassed, Joyce didn't give up even after landing, and reached out to try to grab the ball from Woody's hand.
But he was only about 1.83 meters tall, which was almost a head height short of Woody. Coupled with Woody's excellent wingspan, he couldn't touch the ball at all. He could only wave his hands around even more angrily, almost scratching Woody. Dee.
Realizing that he was not coming for the ball, Woody took out the hidden elbow he had learned from Ben Wallace and gave him a hard blow on the chest.
Joyce felt a huge pain in his chest and stepped back involuntarily.
Woody controlled the ball to the frontcourt himself, but Joyce hadn't recovered yet, giving them a "five-on-four" opportunity in the frontcourt. Woody scored another 2 points under the basket, 4-0! Joyce, on the other hand, still had severe chest pain.
This Chinese guy is really ruthless!
Joyce can be sure that after this game, his chest will definitely turn blue and purple. Woody's toughness was beyond his expectation.
Romeo sensed something strange about him, and once again it was their turn to attack, taking the initiative to hold the ball and waiting for an opportunity to attack. Woody looked at Joyce and challenged him: "Hey, man, you should continue to attack! Or can you only be tough once?"
Joyce gritted his teeth after hearing this and wanted to pass the ball from Romeo's hand and rush again to avoid being looked down upon by Woody, but the pain from his chest made him hesitate to reach out for the ball.
simply put:
The mouth is still hard, but the body is already soft!
His body is soft, but the body holding the ball is still stiff.
Robinson faced the defender with the ball, lowered his center of gravity and easily passed the defender in front of him with speed. Although he was not tall enough, his speed was indeed sharp enough.
Most people with venomous mouths and arrogant personalities have some abilities.
Romeo is also in this group.
But he is the kind of person who has some ability, but not much.
After successfully breaking through to the free throw line, Joyce's encounter just after breaking through the basket was still in front of him, and Romeo chose to throw.
However, as soon as the ball was released, it was covered by a big hat.
From Woody!
His blocking ability value is not high, only 25 points, but the huge bonus to his physical fitness allows him to perform as if his blocking ability value of 25 points is 55 points when facing Romeo.
Another fast attack was completed.
6-0!
Woody led the team and took the initiative from the get-go.
Later, the other three people on Woody's side had a tacit understanding with Stephen Curry, and they passed the ball to Stephen Curry more resolutely. Curry began to display his precise shooting ability, while Woody continued to dominate. Basket.
The two of them worked together to easily defeat the team led by the "Three Akron Brothers" and win the training match.
"Never play basketball with your mouth again!"
At the end of the training game, Woody sent another "killing" trash talk.
Only this time, the disgraced Joyce and Romeo were speechless at all.
They were completely crushed.
This newcomer from China is so strong!
