The Road to Stardom: Start as a Slam Dunk Master.

Chapter 206 The eve of the peak battle

Lin Dong feels a little dependent on McDavid's first-generation knee pads these days. It's so useful...

Not to mention preventing disability, I hope that function will not be used, but just reducing fatigue by 10% according to the function description has already made Lin Dong feel extremely valuable.

I don’t know if this is a bug, but while it makes Lin Dong feel 10% less tired, it also seems to mean that your fatigue will never reach the upper limit.

This is a bit like the famous Achilles paradox, which says that if you let the tortoise start a race with yourself 100 meters in front of you, and assume that your speed is ten times that of the tortoise, then when the race starts, you will run At 100 meters, the tortoise is 10 meters ahead of itself. When it catches up to this 10 meters, the tortoise has climbed out by 1 meter. When it catches up to this 1 meter, the turtle is still 0.1 meters ahead. If the pursuit continues, Then you will never be able to surpass the turtle, because no one can explain clearly what happened at the moment you surpassed the turtle.

Of course, this is just a medieval paradox. Modern physics has long proven that time and space cannot be divided infinitely. Therefore, in a tiny period of time, both myself and the tortoise will advance by one unit of space at the same time, thus completing the battle between the tortoise and the tortoise. of transcendence.

But this paradox seems to be very applicable to my magical knee pad...

Because of this 10% reduction in fatigue, Lin Dong can smoothly enter a state where he does not feel tired after extreme fatigue, and will not suddenly collapse after reaching the limit. This not only helps in Performance at critical moments in the game also helps to temper one's physical limits.

Physical fitness was not originally his strongest point. Although it was definitely not weak, it was only above average. But with this knee pad, physical strength and endurance seemed to have become an advantage for him, and the upper limit of this advantage also increased with the Every day, I continue to break through the limit state after extreme fatigue, and it is increasing slowly and orderly.

Therefore, rather than saying that it is a BUG, ​​it is more appropriate to say that it also has training functions.

On April 4, the U.S. youth team flew to Seattle and checked into a hotel. Reporters from all over the world swarmed in like cats that smelled something fishy, ​​making Seattle, a usually peaceful city, suddenly lively.

On the international team side, Yunus had to attend a press conference, and there was a game tomorrow, so the team did not train in the afternoon, giving everyone a half-day vacation.

The European team and the Asian team have become very familiar with each other in the past few days, and they have gone from looking down on them before to now being thoroughly educated and convinced by Lin Dong, and the atmosphere is very harmonious.

But now there are reporters everywhere outside, and these players are so big that it would be too conspicuous to get together, so when they go out to relax and unwind, they all act individually and there is no intention of getting together in a group.

Zhu Fangyu has felt the gap recently, and the gap is quite big. He took Sakuragi Hanamichi, who has made great progress recently, to play at the Sonics' auxiliary hall. Rukawa Kaede was sitting in the dormitory wondering what he was doing, and Lin Dong had something else. arrange.

It was an invitation from the Lakeside Middle School Board of Trustees, inviting him to visit the Lakeside Middle School campus.

This kind of invitation is actually a deliberate solicitation.

Unlike those NBA team scouts who all focus on the American team, those guys have already been recruited by famous schools. Therefore, if high school schools want to strengthen their own NSAA teams, they can only focus on the international teams.

However, according to common sense, even if these high schools intend to recruit some international players of the right age, they should wait until the Nike Summit is over before making contact with them. After all, if the game has not started yet, who knows whether these guys are really capable ?

But this Lin Dong is an exception to Hubin Middle School.

Mainly because of Glove Payton’s recommendation.

On one side is a representative figure in the Seattle basketball community, and on the other side is the most famous private high school in Seattle and even the United States. Naturally, they have a good relationship with each other.

The sports level of Lakeside High School has always been very strong, but it is mainly strong in baseball and football. As for basketball, as Jordan has become popular in the United States in recent years, although it has begun to take it seriously, it started relatively late after all. The school team The results in NSAA are really hard to describe. In last year’s interstate AA basketball game, Lakeside High School actually only achieved a record of 2 wins and 25 losses...

Frankly speaking, for a well-known university in the United States, even if basketball is an area that they have not paid much attention to, it still makes the school board feel a bit too embarrassed.

So this year I am determined to make a big rectification. The Nike Summit happens to be held in Seattle. So I have to find one or two super strong guys from the international team to expand the appearance. Not to mention leading the school to win the championship, at least not to be at the bottom. So shameful.

So they had been paying attention to the Nike Summit, but the International Team was closed for training in the SuperSonics Arena, and they had nowhere to contact them, so they asked Payton to inquire first.

Payton took a look and felt that this posture was just right!

Isn't Lin Dong's girlfriend a student of Hubin Middle School? I heard that Asians still value love very much. Two young people are in love, and chatting with Lin Dong during this period, I also know his next plan. When he returns to Dragon Country during the summer vacation to finish the U19 World Championship, this is I plan to come to the United States and find a high school to play NSAA.

And even though Payton last time evaluated him as 'LeBron, whose overall strength is better than Lin Dong', after these few days of special training, Payton feels that he can no longer say such things...

Payton feels that with Lin Dong's current level, if he joins a strong NSAA team, it will neither challenge nor show his strengths, but only joining a weak team can obviously prove his strength! It happened to be the high school where my girlfriend I was passionately in love attended, and it happened to be a weak team ranked at the bottom of the NSAA. At the same time, it was also the most famous private college in the United States. The school's network of connections was so vast that it spread all over the United States. Even the richest man in the world today is here. For those who graduated from the school, such an alumni circle is definitely more conducive to Lin Dong’s future career path...

Therefore, if he puts himself in his shoes, if Lakeside High School sends an invitation to Lin Dong at this time, Payton feels that it will probably happen!

Although I couldn't drag that kid directly to the Supersonics, wouldn't I be able to drag him to Seattle first, right next to Water Tower? This is simply a blessing from heaven.

So Payton turned into a big liar and praised Lin Dong as unparalleled in the sky and underground. It seemed that as long as Lakeside High School recruited this Asian, this year's intercontinental championship would already be in hand!

The school board of Lakeside High School was stunned by the news.

Is this guy sure that he is not introducing the top high school student in the United States, but just an international student?

There must be doubts, but no matter what, after receiving such praise from Payton, the Lakeside High School Board of Directors was quickly interested, so this invitation was made.

The school had already started at this time, and the scene of several big guys from the school board accompanying Lin Dong walking through the campus caught everyone's attention, and the whole school knew about it in a matter of minutes.

After visiting the school, the school board of directors also directly expressed to Lin Dong their intention to invite him to enroll.

Naturally, the tuition is free and the scholarship is full. At the same time, the school will also allocate him a separate studio apartment, the kind where teachers live, as well as a separate basketball training hall, some school privileges, and monthly various training subsidies, etc.

Compared with Xiangyang University, this operation of the Hubin Middle School Board of Trustees can be regarded as clean and sincere.

There is only one condition: lead the Lakeside Middle School basketball team to achieve good results in the NSAA this year, at least top eight, right? Do you want to try for the semi-finals again? After all, everyone else on the Lakeside Middle School basketball team is quite hip.

Lin Dong heard it funny.

In fact, after listening to Payton's introduction to him, Lin Dong was quite satisfied with Lakeside Middle School. Yuya was only a small reason for this. More importantly, there were enough celebrities here and the alumni circle was strong enough. In addition, Seattle and even There are enough Dragons in Washington State to build their own fan base, and Payton of the Sonics is there to take care of them, and they can compete with each other on high-level skills from time to time.

Lin Dong felt that he really could not find a more suitable place for him to study abroad than Lakeside Middle School.

But don't rush to agree. It seems that the people on the school board don't know basketball very well, and certainly don't know themselves well enough.

Top eight in the state, fighting for the top four? If it were me last year, my positioning might not be much different, but now...

Anyway, Hubin Middle School already has this idea, so it’s better to wait until the Nike summit is over before deciding. Although I don’t care about some petty profits, but it should be my own, then I have to match it. Don’t develop it at a young age. The habit of losing one's worth.

And just when Lin Dong was wandering around the school with the Lakeside Middle School Board of Directors, the latest speech from the U.S. Youth Team press conference had directly caused a sensation in the entire Seattle... No, it had caused a sensation in the entire United States. People who are looking forward to this Nike Summit!

"Of course we will win, of course we can win."

The person speaking on behalf of this American youth team is neither Kwame Brown, who is now regarded as the favorite in this year's draft, nor Chandler, who is in competition with him, but actually a high school student from Russia.

He kept a shy smile in front of the camera, which made people feel a kind of innocence, magnanimity and overflowing youth: "Although the US team and the international team have had mixed results over the years, I also know that they are very strong. But this year is different.”

“This year we have the best high school and college students on the planet, and we’re bringing unparalleled talent from across the United States to Seattle!”

"We are stronger than ever, we are more united than ever, and we are more eager to win than ever!"

"We have always been the leader in this world, no matter in any aspect or whatever challenge we face, the result is the same!"

"Beat them by 30 points!" The young man is using his innocent smile and eloquent words to infect all Americans sitting in front of the TV: "This is the lowest requirement we have for ourselves!"

"I love America, long live America!"
