The Legend of Small Steel Cannons in the NBA

Chapter 15 Determining the starting lineup
Ronnie was watching TV in the living room, and his mother, Mary, was busy in the kitchen.

"Kyle, why are you back?" Ronnie stared at Kyle for a while, said dumbly, and then told him, "Don't go out these few days, remember, go to school and practice hard, don't be old during this time." Run home."

"Why?" Kyle asked knowingly.

"Don't ask why! Just go to practice with peace of mind, and I will take care of Mary."

"Gumanti died, just now, on the street in the northwest."

Ronnie rolled his eyes and remained silent for a while, before raising his head and saying. "It's not a big deal, it happens every day on the streets of Luck."

"Any more?"

"What?" Ronnie pretended to be relaxed, "Do you think there is anything else? Why don't I know!"

"Ronnie, stay away from that group of people, I'll be in the NBA soon, and everything will be different." Kyle didn't dwell on that topic. "Also, quit that damn thing for me."

"Wow! Mr. Kyle Lowry is full of confidence. I am looking forward to it. I can't wait for my new life."

"Life is fragile. Father doesn't want us anymore, so we should cherish it even more, shouldn't we?"

"This really surprised me, father, you actually called him father." The two Ronnie brothers have never called their father respectfully, and they always use scum instead. Now that Kyle calls father, Ronnie is very surprised , he felt that his younger brother seemed to be a different person. You must know that the extent to which Kyle hated his father went deep into his bone marrow.

"He gave me life, I am very grateful to him, that's all." Kyle said indifferently
"You've grown up! Kyle. The Black Hawk Gang was blackmailed by others, and some diamonds were lost in the firefight, which was worth a lot of money. Now the entire Luke street is looking for this thing. I witnessed the shootout or the people nearby, There's nowhere to escape, it's at the coffee shop on Solipton Avenue." The male gang that Ronnie said is the largest gang in Philadelphia.

"It's unfortunate."

"Kyle, practice hard."

Kyle nodded and stopped talking, ending the most harmonious conversation between the two brothers in years.Mary Haleway is very busy, with heavy work and low wages. During the two days when Kyle was at home, she basically slept in bed without touching the ground or disintegrating her clothes. Kyle was very distressed.Fortunately, Kyle is considered promising, and he received a full scholarship from the school, which eased his tight financial situation, otherwise his college money might be a problem.

After returning to school, there is endless training.During this period, Kyle and Mattelly had a close and friendly conversation. Kyle asked Matterly to buy more doses of medicine for him, and Matterly hoped that Kyle would work hard to improve the three-pointer.There was a conversation between the right and the wrong, one was about money, the other was about basketball, and finally a deal was made.

Mattelly has really done his utmost to Kyle, and he basically agreed to all reasonable, unreasonable, should and shouldn't requests, and he fulfilled his original promise to Kyle.scholarship!Equipped with caddy!Buy potions!Money, money, everything is money.Kyle may be the most expensive special enrollment in history, bar none.

Of course Kyle knew that the old man was kind to him, but didn't he win it all by himself?In order to recruit talented players, some universities secretly stuff money or sign agreements. It is not uncommon for some universities to resort to all means.As long as they make it to the NCAA tournament, the rewards are huge, especially for the teams that make it to the Final Four, the rewards are unimaginably generous. The NCAA's various sponsorship advertisements and admission fees are enough to make the school earn a lot of money. income.So in Kyle's view, everything is mutually beneficial. He did his best for the team and entered the championship. It should be considered that the school pays a little remuneration.

After finalizing this matter, Mattelly suddenly remembered that the team's starting lineup has not yet been determined!It's been more than a month, and seeing that the regular season has started, he can't delay any longer, so he decided to listen to Kyle's opinion. "Kyle, Smith and Harsh, who do you think is more competent for the starting position?"

"There is no doubt about it, Smith."

"Kyle, this is not the time to be emotional, I need you to give the best answer for the team."

"Smith!" Kyle said decisively.

"why?"

"It's obvious that we need height on the defensive end and pick-and-rolls on the offensive end. Smith has a very soft touch in the mid-range."

"But his speed will affect the defense. You, Martin, and Kelly don't have three-pointers. This will infinitely magnify our shortcomings. The opponent shrinks the basket, and we have nothing to do."

"Is this a problem? Mr. Mattelly, not every team has the ability to defend and counterattack. Even if there is, does it take 5 seconds or 10 seconds for Smith to retreat to the backcourt? As for the three-pointer, can Martin's open space even Not shooting 50% from the field, I'm trying to improve the three, do you think I can't even make open shots?"

Hearing what Kyle said, Mattelly frowned and thought, and then suddenly realized, isn't it!Since you know you can't stop it, why do you have to try your best to block it, you can choose a player with a more obvious advantage.He feels that he has been digging into a dead end all the time, it's too natural, too pursuit of perfection, how can there be anything in the world that is 100% perfect?

In the afternoon training camp, Mattelly announced the starting lineup for the new season, point guard Kyle, shooting guard Martin, small forward Larry, power forward Kelly, and center Smith.This news was expected by everyone. The only ones who were uncertain were Smith and Hash. After this period of training, Mo Lin had been completely excluded.Now that it's done, it's time to rehearse tactics and develop a tacit understanding.

For Mattelly's decision, some are happy and some are sad.Of course, Smith was uncontrollably happy, and Hash was full of disappointment and frustration. The three expressions of baby unhappy, baby very unhappy, and baby extremely unhappy were engraved on his face.Besides, it is certain that old man Henry is upset. What is this called?Originally, Mattelly was very inclined to choose Hash, so why did he suddenly change his mind!Henry was upset, so he asked his friend the reason, and the answer made the old man almost vomit blood. "Smith is Kyle's friend, who should I use if I don't use him?"

It's Kyle Lowry again. Now the more Henry looks at him, the more he doesn't like it. What else does Kyle have besides breaking through him?Arrogant, strong but short, three points is equivalent to a semi-disabled state, reckless attack, don't know how to respect teachers, this is the core figure of the St. Joseph Yale team.Henry's tinted glasses clearly reflected a useless shooting king who would lead the team to destruction, and Mattelly was the driving force behind the scenes. Did he never think that the St. Joseph Yale team had room for decline?
