knife point guard

Chapter 7 [The Buzzing Bug]

Su Xi and McNabara quickly became friends. McNabara is a devout Catholic. He is rigorous, humble, sincere, and progressive, and Su Xi also has such qualities.

They are also fans of Eminem at the same time. Eminem has won a lot this year. He has undoubtedly become the best-selling singer of this year and the man of the year in 2002.

McNabara likes Eminem because he is white and his rap is better than black.McNabara hopes to earn his place in the predominantly black basketball league.

Su Xi simply likes Eminem's cool attitude that no one disdains.

It didn't take even one night for two young people with common topics and hobbies to become good friends.The next day, they showed up in the cafeteria together and went to training.

It is still McNabara's main offense and Su Xi's main defense.

It was like this for two weeks in a row.

In this high-intensity training mode, Suzy's super explosive talent from Reggie Weems has been increased to 70%. His defense against McNabara is becoming more and more effective, and his entanglement is improving.Out of ten balls, he has been able to defend three or four.

This is a remarkable achievement.

You must know that McNabara is Mr. Basketball in Pennsylvania. His offensive skills are very good. His total score in four years of high school ranks seventh in the history of Pennsylvania.

Although Boham has not spoken to Suzy so far.But in his heart, Su Xi is already a good player who is hardworking, inspiring and hardworking.

He made a decision in his heart to keep this player and put him in the first team.

This is not the NBA, the NBA is about talent.

This is the NCAA, and this is Jim Boeham's Syracuse Oranges.Fuck his talent, people who work hard should be given a chance.

Jim Boeham is sensual.

Time quickly entered September, and Carmelo Anthony finally came to Syracuse University.

From the moment he entered the school gate, people from the school board were there to greet him, and the New York media also followed him to report.

Coach Jim and two assistant coaches also greeted them in the past.

Suzy and McNabara and some other returning players remained in the arena, waiting for Carmelo Anthony to 'review'.

This is a courtesy from Syracuse University to Carmelo Anthony. On the basketball court, superstars have privileges.Even in college basketball.

This situation will become more prominent after entering the business alliance.It can be seen from salary, exposure, and commercial value. The guaranteed basic salary contract in the NBA is only a few hundred thousand dollars, and superstars can get an annual salary of more than 2000 million dollars.The pursuit of superstars and commercial contracts are also unprecedented.

In college basketball, at least everyone has the same food, clothing, and housing.

"Gerry, you are also a five-star player, why did you come to the school for training silently in advance with a bag?" the team's starting power forward Hakeem Varik joked about McNabara.

Hakim came to the school on August [-]th, and he started training very early.He is a relatively talented black forward. He is considered to have a chance to enter the NBA, but the probability will not be very high, because the NBA has very high requirements for talents, and his height is not dominant.

"People are different." McNabara shrugged, he didn't have much emotion.He is not a jealous person, he prefers to improve himself silently.

"Also, I am a five-star player because I have met the standards of a five-star player. Cameron is a five-star player because the highest evaluation system in high school basketball is only five stars."

McNabara was especially humble.

This is why Su Xi made friends with him.

Carmelo Anthony came to the arena in a crowd. He combed the furrows and wore exaggerated oversize hip-hop clothes.He was a baby face with a smile all over his face.When I came over, I greeted everyone warmly: "Hey, guys, it's a pleasure to meet you. Let's unite and do something big!"

He shook hands with the coaching team and his teammates one by one, very street, very hip-hop.

When Su Xi saw this scene, his memory was a bit shifted. He remembered that Reggie Wilms walked into this arena for the first time, and it seemed that it was such a grand treatment, and both of them were so high-spirited.

The two figures overlapped in sight.

When Carmelo Anthony came over, Su Xi shook hands with him and bumped his chest, and patted his back twice with his left hand. This is the unique way of greeting Su Xi and Reggie Weems.

Anthony, who was touched twice, was a little surprised.

Su Xi stood at the end of the line. After Anthony finished greeting, he looked at Su Xi and said, "Are you Chinese?"

"Yes." Su Xi nodded.

"Your compatriot Yao just became the No. [-] pick in the NBA. You must be very good too, right?" Anthony greeted.

"I don't know how to play basketball yet," Suzy said.

He didn't mean to cater to Anthony, he looked straight up and even looked down at the highly sought-after superstar player in front of him.

After all, Su Xi has already regarded herself as a quasi-basketball god, and there is no need to show a tamed look to this super five-star high school student.

Anthony's mind is also not normal. After a few seconds, he stretched out his thumb: "Cool! I like your rebelliousness."

He's not being sarcastic, he really likes it.

Head coach Jim Boham came over and he highlighted Carmelo Anthony and McNabara.

After a burst of applause, Boham emphasized the rules and discipline of the team.

Then, he asked the assistant coach to distribute the playbook for the new season to each player.

He updated the tactics manual in the past summer vacation, mainly modifying the tactics of the backcourt.Last season, the team's ball-handling core was Reggie Wilms. Wilms was in charge of the ball as a swingman, and the point guard was overhead.

This season, after McNabara joined, part of the ball returned to the point guard.Moreover, Carmelo Anthony’s style of play is not the same as Reggie Weems. Reggie is happy to hold the ball from the backcourt and cross the half court. Carmelo Anthony’s style of play is a classical small forward style of play.

When the players were looking at the playbook, last season's starting point guard Karl Joseph hurried in with a bag on his back.

He came a step late.

He quickly put the bag aside and returned to the team.

Jim Boham glanced at him, stepped aside, and called Carl Joseph over.

The players all went to the other side tacitly. Boham is a strict coach, and Joseph should be cleaned up.

"I bet he's going to do at least 20 switchbacks."

Hakim muttered there.

However, Carl yelled loudly soon: "Why? Why? Why?"

This surprised the team members, and they all looked over there.

What kind of stimulation did Karl have to dare to yell at the head coach.

Su Xi was not interested in the movement over there at first, but he soon heard his name, and his brows frowned.

"...Why? You would rather keep that fragile lamb Su Xi than throw me into the reserve team? Am I even inferior to him?"

"I'm not convinced! I want to compete with him!"

Carl yelled loudly: "This is not in compliance with the rules. I want to complain to the sports committee of the school board."

Jim Boham didn't expect Carl to have such a big reaction.

However, he has made a decision.He wants to clear out Karl, a defender who was mediocre and extremely lazy in training last season, and give his position to Su Xi, who is active in training and working hard.It's good for the team's chemistry.

Now that the team already has McNabara, it doesn't matter whether Suzy is stronger than Karl, what matters is the internal atmosphere of the team.

"I've made a decision. You don't need to shout here." Boham said coldly, and he issued an order to evict: "I won't come here for training in the future."

However, Karl has already run to Su Xi's side.He pointed at Su Xi and yelled loudly: "Little Su Xi, you little trash who came in to eat and drink with that bastard Reggie Weems, do you dare to challenge me?"

"Reggie Weems that goddamn guy got hit by a car and you shouldn't be here. You don't deserve to be in my place!"

Carl spoke violently.

His posture is ferocious.

Everyone was dissatisfied with him.Especially when he criticized Reggie Weems. When Reggie Weems announced his participation in the draft, he licked the most on the team, and he also said that he would go to the NBA to carry bags for Reggie.Now, actually say such a thing.

Even Carmelo Anthony, who just arrived, thinks Karl's words are too much.

McNabara even walked over and said, "First of all, you have to respect the authoritative decision of the head coach, not here to yell. Second, you have to respect Reggie who helped the team reach the Final Four. Finally, if you want to single-handedly, I will play with you."

"Who are you?" Carl glared at McNabara.

McNabara was about to introduce himself when Suzy stopped him with her hand.He came out, "Okay, since you want to single out, come on."

Su Xi stood up.

This is beyond the expectations of many people.

Everyone knows that Su Xi's basketball ability is mediocre, including McNabara who has trained with Su Xi for so long. McNabara thinks Su Xi can only defend.

"Jack..." Hakim tried to persuade Su Xi: "Let the coach handle it."

"No!"

Su Xi shook her head.

He said in his heart: If I don't get rid of this bastard's provocation, it will be difficult for me to calm down and understand my thoughts.I'm the guy who wants to be the god of basketball.

He said coldly to Carl: "You are really disgusting buzzing bugs."

"Five balls!"
