Starting with 2006

Chapter 5 Join
A month later, West Forsyth High School.

"Hey, An Li, good morning."

"you are so tall"

An Li was a little surprised, her face was slightly red, her Huaxia classmate was usually very silent and introverted, but today she took the initiative to say hello to her, he seemed to have grown a lot taller, and why did she feel that he had become so handsome, before Why didn't I find out?

Walking on campus, Gao Tian would occasionally say hello to familiar classmates. Seeing other people's surprised or astonished eyes, he felt a lot of emotion. During these three months, he went to train after work, and almost everyone At night, he slowly dragged his tired body back to the room. With such efforts, his progress was not insignificant.

"Name: Gao Tian
Current team: none

Age: 17
Position: Small Forward/Shooting Guard
Height: 198cm (205cm)

投篮：63（88）进攻：59(85)防守：53(85)

Suggestion: The host has the potential to become a first-line player or even a superstar in the NBA, but now it only has the strength to rotate among top university teams. The host should work harder! "

Feeling that my progress in the past month is not as obvious as before, Gao Tian rubbed his head, it is really troublesome, it seems that he must receive formal training, his previous half-baked training can only improve himself to this level up.

Thinking of this, Gao Tian no longer hesitated, and walked directly to the school basketball hall.

After a while, Gao Tian saw the school basketball team in training, and looked at those peers who were sweating profusely on the court. Suddenly, a familiar figure came into view.

It's him? !
Gao Tian's eyes shrank, no matter what, it's coming, Gao Tian clenched his fists, secretly encouraging himself, it will definitely work.

Gao Tian didn't look at those strange eyes anymore, but walked straight towards the old man in training clothes standing on the sidelines.

George Topher is the basketball teacher of West Forsyth High School and the head coach of the school basketball team. He has been in this school for nearly 20 years. Under his leadership, the West Forsyth High School basketball team is in the high school league. He once achieved quite excellent grades, but his grades have gone from bad to worse in the past few years, and there are only a handful of games he won. Recently, the principal has even talked to him, expressing the dissatisfaction of the school board with him, and he may be dismissed by the school. After all, I should have retired two years ago, but I insisted on staying because I loved basketball too much. The current situation made him very worried. Looking at the team lineup in front of him, he couldn't help but sighed and shook his head .

Except for the team's main point guard who is very good, the rest of them really can't meet my requirements. Now I can only pray to God that this year's results will not be worse than last year, or I will leave this one next year and stay here for 20 years. , a place full of emotions, but can I lead such a team to victory?
"Hello, Mr. Coach."

When George Topher was worrying, a greeting interrupted his thinking, making him turn around and look at the tall Chinese young man in front of him.

"Well, hello, what's the matter?"

"Uh, it's like this. I want to join the school basketball team. I hope you can give me a chance."

George Topher frowned and looked at the person in front of him. His height was okay, but he looked too thin, and he didn't look like a freshman or sophomore. I didn't have this person in my impression.

"What grade are you in, new here?"

"I'm a senior in high school. I haven't participated in the selection before, but I have also played for several months and have been training hard. I hope you can give me a chance."

Gao Tian stood straight, looked at the old man in front of him who could help him and shook his head, his heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, he would be rejected easily if he wanted to join the team in his senior year. There is a problem with the running-in of the rookie team. .

"Sorry, you're a great lad, but there's enough in the team right now."

The team members who were eavesdropping beside him couldn't help laughing out loud. They wanted to join the team after only playing basketball for a few months. Do you think you are a genius?
"Excuse me, Mr. Coach, I hope you can give me a trial training and see how my strength is before making a decision."

Gao Tian looked a little anxious. After all, if he couldn't play in the high school league and he didn't know anyone, it was almost impossible for the college team to invite him to join, so even if he participated in the draft, it was impossible for the NBA to select him.

George Topher thought in his heart that there are too many people who want to reach the sky in one step, are they all sleepy?There are so few real geniuses, how could it be you?

So he turned around, stopped looking at Gao Tian, ​​and shouted dissatisfiedly to the team members watching, "Why don't you go to training, do you want to run laps?"

The team members immediately dispersed.

Just when Gao Tian secretly sighed and planned to give up and look for other opportunities, a sentence that seemed familiar came to his ears.

"Mr. Coach, I think you should give him a chance, he is great!"

Gao Tian stared at the person in front of him, a little unbelievable, he could actually speak for himself?
"Oh? Jen, you know him?"

"I've met him once. I believe he has the strength. You should carefully understand him before making a decision."

George Topher turned around again and looked at Gao Tian carefully. It seemed that he had no other suitable place to play except his height!But Zhan En is the most powerful player in his team. Since he thinks that great people should have advantages, let's see for himself, what if there is a miracle?

"Okay then, do you need a break? If not then let's start now."

"unnecessary!"

Gao Tian was ecstatic, his body felt great, and the coach didn't look too good, he probably felt that he was wasting his time.

Maybe he was right most of the time, but today, he was wrong!And I will use my strength to tell him how wrong his idea is!
"Let's take a look at your take-off height first, which are standing take-off and run-up take-off."

He brought Gao Tian under the backboard, "Let's start when you're ready."

"Huh", Gao Tian looked at the rebound, sighed, and took off.

With a "snap", Gao Tian's hand hit the backboard directly.

"Oh my God, jumping half an arm over the backboard on the spot, and that's when he didn't warm up."

The crowd of onlookers exclaimed, this bounce is incredible, is he really a high school student?

Coach George Topher was also stunned, as if he couldn't believe it, "Next, run up and take off."

"Next... one, 100-meter run, full-court switchback... next... next..."

George Topher later recalled, "When Gao Tian and Zhan En chose their teammates to finish the team match, I was stunned at the time, my mind went blank, and I couldn't say anything. There is no doubt that he is The genius I have been looking for, he is my savior."

"You are very good, but I will not admit defeat. Next time, next time I will definitely beat you." Zhan En supported his knees, looked at Gao Tian, ​​and murmured.
