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

Chapter 209: It’s you who gets cut!

Compared to Gwyneth, who left the scene crying like a rain of tears after reacting, Yang Dong had already sat at the VIP table at the invitation of Schulz, looking like a boss.

The war between women was obviously won by motherhood, and by the way, I got to know a few business tycoons in Seattle.

When Lin Dong returned to the team, the teammates around him looked at him with complete envy.

No wonder Lin Dong plays so domineeringly, it’s because of his good genes...

Lin Dong's performance in the international team training during this period has undoubtedly established his core position, so for him to have such a strong family member, no one will feel that he is being robbed of the limelight, and the rest can only be envious .

Who doesn’t envy having such a strong backer behind him when he goes out to work hard?

Rich second generation has never been a real derogatory term, let alone the United States. It is the same anywhere on the earth.

The only person who is not envious may be Sakuragi Hanamichi, because this guy's eyes are full of admiration: "Brother Takato, your mother is so handsome!"

Lin Dong smiled and pressed his head: "It's time to compete."

Yunus has not announced the starting lineup of the international team before. The main purpose is to let everyone have a performance that they can strive for during training. But through this period of training, who is strong and who is weak? Everyone has a rough idea of ​​whether he might become the starter.

Unexpectedly...

Captain Lin Dong, No. 3 small forward, center is 210cm Darko Milicic, power forward Mazi Lampe, shooting guard Alexander.

There is nothing much to say about these four positions. It was as everyone predicted. The only thing I didn't expect was the starting point guard-Rukawa Kaede.

"Ah ah... the dead fox actually started the game." Sakuragi Hanamichi cursed quietly from behind, with a depressed look on his face.

Coach Yunus had talked to him alone two days ago, praising his defensive level. Sakuragi thought that he might get a starting opportunity, but unexpectedly, he was rejected by Rukawa Kaede, the most disliked player in the entire international team. Got it.

It was a pity that facing Yunus, a European, he did not dare to run and pat his chin like he did to Anzai Mitsuyoshi. Speaking of which, the old man was full of bones and seemed to have no chin.

Yunus obviously heard Sakuragi Hanamichi's chatter. Although he didn't understand Japanese, he roughly guessed what he was talking about from his tone and name.

Yunas ignored it.

In his eyes, Rukawa Kaede is the kind of player who has no obvious shortcomings in all aspects, but also no special advantages. At the level of Asian high school students, he may be considered very powerful, but when it comes to the international and even the American team, he is It’s really not enough.

To be honest, Yunus doesn't think he can play any role for the international team in such a level competition, and it may even be a side effect.

But this is the Nike Summit after all. The original intention of holding it is to give players from all parties a platform and opportunity to showcase themselves. He came all the way from Japan. It is really unreasonable to say that I will not give him any chance to play.

The intensity at the beginning of the game will not be too high. It is a process of observing and testing each other between the international team and the American team. Lin Dong's scoring ability and topic popularity are enough to attract all the attention and firepower of the American team at the beginning, and let Rukawa It was relatively safe for Feng to go up and show his face at this time.

But if the performance is not good, maybe three minutes or five minutes, when the US team discovers that he is a loophole and starts to attack him frequently, then he will immediately replace him, and then use the real main lineup of the international team to compete with the US team. A win or a loss.

He has always been given the opportunity to express himself. As for how much of himself he can show, it only depends on himself.

The lineup sent by the US team quickly appeared in everyone's eyes.

Center Kwame Brown, the No. 1 high school student in the United States last year, was officially announced as early as the beginning of the year that he would participate in this year's draft and was recognized nationally.

The power forward is Chris Bosh, a talented student from Lincoln High School in Texas, and the shooting guard is Dwyane Wade, a player from the NCAA.

The point guard is a five-star high school student from Texas who also came from Texas. He led Willowridge High School to 75 wins and 1 loss in two years, including a 62-game winning streak, and won two Texas Class 5A interstate championships. TJ Ford.

In fact, if it weren't for LeBron being younger and more topical, then TJ Ford and Anthony should be the real contenders for the No. 1 high school student in the country this year.

As for the last position, of course it is No. 3, LeBron James, who became a popular target in the United States with his inspiring remarks yesterday.

Both sides quickly got into position.

The faces of several people on the international team obviously did not have the nervousness or stage fright that the American media expected.

Although the American media has praised this young American team to the extreme, even Yunus has repeatedly warned everyone how ferocious they are.

But to be honest, who can come here who is not a talented young man who is invincible in their respective territories?

No matter how good you are in American professional basketball, we are all young people aged 17 or 18 who have not officially entered the professional world yet. Who is afraid of whom?

Everyone has arrogance, if they hadn't been a little autistic after being beaten by Lin Dong during training these days, which finally made them have a little bit of the concept of "there is a sky outside the world".

nervous?

They should be arrogant!

Compared with this group of European players who are a little ignorant of the situation and overconfident, Lin Dong is rare and already excited when he steps on the court.

Can't help but be excited.

In the eyes of Lin Dong, a time traveler, every name in the US team's lineup is a dazzling existence, and when put together, it becomes even more star-studded.

The Big Three of the Heat, who were once famous in later generations, gathered directly, and of the other two, one will become the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft selected by the God of Basketball in two months.

The other one was not ranked high in the 03 Platinum Generation draft, with the eighth overall pick, but after entering the league, he was once hailed by the American media as a combination of Magic and Big Bird. Even Iverson commented in amazement: TJ Ford is probably the only guy in the league who's faster than me.

Even sitting on the bench below are the other two of the two heroes, Melo and the immature Paul, and Chandler, an inside defender who has won the NBA Defensive Player of the Year.

A group of future NBA superstars will be able to form a dream team to compete in the Olympics in two or three years, but now they still look immature...

Lin Dong licked the corner of his mouth excitedly, and even couldn't help but shuddered several times in succession.

As early as when he first traveled through time and knew the era he was in, he was looking forward to meeting these people, but he didn't expect this day to come so early.

However, these "cold wars" were keenly captured by many sharp-eyed people on the sidelines. "Is that Lin Dong nervous?"

"Haha, with such a high-profile mother, she is under too much pressure. It would be strange if she wasn't nervous."

"It seems that my mental quality is not good." Cuban said with a smile, and looked at Yang Dong who was sitting next to him: "Not as domineering as my mother."

"Hey!" Yang Dong glanced at him and said with a smile, "Mr. Cuban seems to have never had a fight."

"Does this have anything to do with the fight? I'd like to hear some advice."

"Of course, people who often fight will know that there is nothing to fear from guys who look calm during fights. They are either just talkative, or they know how to measure their strikes. Even if you lose, you may still lose. There is no need to go to the hospital." Yang Dong said with a smile: "But if you encounter someone who is shaking all over during a fight, you should be careful..."

"why?"

"Because such people are either really trembling with fear, or they are trembling with excitement." Yang Dong said coldly: "And if it is the latter, then they will beat you to death... Then Mr. Cuban, you What kind of person do you think my son is?"

Cuban burst out laughing after hearing this: "It looks like he's going to beat me to death."

"Hahaha!" Yang Dong immediately put away his cold face, smiled like a spring breeze, and gave Cuban a thumbs up: "You are truly the most discerning investor in the United States!"

There was a buzz of discussion on the sidelines, and a tall and burly black man also walked up to Lin Dong.

"Hi!"

LeBron looked at his experience gift package today, and naturally noticed the opponent's shoulders that were shaking slightly because of nervousness at that moment...

To be honest, he really liked this guy more and more.

"Don't be nervous, brother." LeBron said, "It's just a game, come on!"

Lin Dong smiled at him: "Thank you."

The unique politeness of Easterners is obviously not understood by Americans. Saying thank you to your opponent is tantamount to showing weakness.

Then LeBron also had a smile on his face.

It looks like it will be an easy fight.

Shhh!

The referee blew a whistle, and the basketball was thrown high into the air. Kwame Brown and Darko Milicic, who were responsible for the jump ball, jumped high at the same time.

One was the No. 01 pick in 03, and the other was the No. pick in .

Kwame Brown is 211 centimeters, while Darko Milicic is 210 centimeters, but in terms of wingspan and jumping, Kwame Brown wins.

With an absolute advantage of at least 5 centimeters, the big dark-skinned hand slammed the basketball into his own half.

The two figures jumped up at the same time.

The Chosen Son of Russia and the Boy of Dragon Kingdom.

At this moment, the two people's reactions, bounces, and explosions were almost the same!

But after all, it occupies a convenient location. When Kwame Brown swatted the ball over, the black figure was innately positioned in front. Coupled with the advantage of physical strength, he grabbed the basketball flying in the air first.

LeBron James!

Wow!

The stadium was suddenly filled with cheers as if everyone had expected him to return home.

Cuban's eyes lit up slightly.

The winner has already been decided at the beginning. I was about to joke about the previous sentence with a smile, but the next second...

The two people who landed at the same time, a smile just appeared on the corner of LeBron's mouth, but a big hand was already directed at his hands protecting the ball.

The action of cutting the ball was really too fast and too sudden. Who would have thought that the opponent who was fighting for the basketball with him in the air a second ago would actually attack him again when everyone was still adjusting their center of gravity after landing. attack?

LeBron was already observing the movement of his teammates ahead of him, but at this moment he felt his hand suddenly empty. At the same time, the Asian who just failed to compete for the ball had already escaped from his left side.

The ball was chipped? !

LeBron was shocked.

Frankly speaking, for these future superstars, and even for the entire league, Lin Dong's biggest advantage does not come from the magical knee pads given by the system, nor does it come from his own super talent.

The real advantage comes from knowing them so well!

As for LeBron, the most controversial figure in later generations, his evaluation report during the 03 draft has already been widely circulated on the Internet in later generations.

Twelve major advantages and six major disadvantages, and among the six major disadvantages, there is one that is particularly eye-catching.

——The ball control ability can be said to be very good at the high school level, but he still needs to strengthen his ball protection ability...

Even when he became the No. 1 pick two years later, he received such an evaluation, let alone two years ago!

That's right, it was you who was cut!

　I originally planned to write two more chapters at night and post one chapter at 8 o'clock in the morning, but I have to slow down a little progress... I really can't write anymore, so I'll continue after getting up during the day.

　　Over the past two days, the chapters have been updated three times, and the game period is no exception. I will continue to update three chapters after getting up. After the game is finished, I will ask for half a day off to adjust the update time of the increasingly underworld.

　　In addition, I saw several brothers leaving messages saying that the glass factory with 5000 people is too small^^. After thinking about it, I changed it to people. Ten thousand people is too exaggerated. My mother has another wonderful use in the subsequent plot. No. It is suitable for someone who is too single-minded in the glass business. Of course, there will be a historical plot that everyone is familiar with to complete this turn. It will not seem blunt. I will not spoil the details first, so the scale of this factory cannot be really too big. .

　　Finally, I would like to thank the Phantom 2023 and the Intelligent Jinlun brothers for their rewards a few days ago^^. I saw it a long time ago. I should have thanked you in time, but I was so busy every time I updated it that I always forgot. Hahaha.
