Standing pretty old

Chapter 4 It's Not That Simple

Time Out!
A group of dejected Seawolves returned to the bench, wearing home jerseys and being beaten all over the floor by the away team.This is so embarrassing.

"The gap? Of course you are far behind! Who is the opponent? The opponent is the Wildcats. It is not even comparable to any team in the Eastern Conference (the NCAA division of the Stony Brook Seawolves). So you are ready to give up ?"

"Give up this game, give up the countless afternoons or even whole days in the training gym that you have paid for it? Give up those wonderful leisure time? Give up those opportunities to spend time with your girlfriend? Just because of a sick cat? We are Will the devil wolf in the sea be afraid of a sick cat? Tell me, what team?"

When the coach of the Seawolves shouted these words, all the Seawolves players were stunned.

The first person to react was the captain of the Seawolves team. He clenched his fists, raised his hands and shouted: "Seawolves team!"

"What team?" the coach called out a second time.

"Sea Wolves!" at least two-thirds of the players yelled this time.

"What team?"

"Sea Wolves!" This time all the players shouted.

"What team?"

"Sea Wolves!" The loud noise almost knocked off the roof of the arena.

"Very well, kick the sick cat's ass and tell them whose territory this is?"

After the timeout ended, the game changed dramatically.

The Sea Wolves, who had been beaten so helplessly just now, launched an explosive counterattack as if they had gained the power of the wild.

Steals, blocked shots, tough fouls, the advantage of the Wildcats is constantly being eroded.

The Wildcats, who were playing smoothly not long ago, suddenly became confused. They forgot their rhythm and played a more away performance than the away team.

Countless fans were cheering and cheering for the home team. Even Ruan Erniu, an outsider, couldn't help being infected by the atmosphere, shouting excitedly for the home team from time to time.

However, as a professional athlete, Ruan Erniu always inexplicably felt that something was wrong, even though the current situation of the home team is very good.

Do athletes really have such a magical intuition?The answer is not necessarily.Because the human body is extremely miraculous, even today with such advanced science, there are still many unanswered secrets of the human body.

And Ruan Erniu tonight quickly discovered the source of his inexplicable feeling, the Bobcats coaches were too quiet.

Although it's not a single-elimination match like "March Madness", but facing aggressive opponents, he doesn't feel anxious at all. He writes and draws on the tactical board like an artist. Is he a puppet?
Wait, this scene seems familiar!

A certain cartoon?It seems that there is indeed a player-coach guy!
However, Two-dimensional is Two-dimensional after all. After all, the NCAA is still where the head coach of the team is in charge.

The coach of the Wildcats finally finished his writing and drawing, and said to a player with a poker face beside him: "It's almost time, tell them why our Wildcats are regulars in the top 64, and nerds like Shixi are only worthy of playing in the top [-]." The Midstream of the US Eastern Conference goes round and round."

Pokerface, wearing the No. 4 blue jersey, ambled onto the court after a dead ball.

He also didn't slap any player in the ass like he did in Two-dimensional.After receiving the ball from the baseline, he just slowly dribbled the ball half court.He dribbled the ball with his left hand, raised his right hand high, and made a "3" gesture.

The Wildcats center quickly pulled out to set him a pick-and-roll.

Player No. 4 accelerated into the inside line, relying on the defensive player to send the ball into the basket, scoring 2+1.

The sudden turn of the situation stopped the car, and the Sea Wolves had actually lost the best chance to recover the score at this moment.

In the next few rounds, Pokerface continued to use his tough defense, precise passing and superb rebounding (I really can't understand why a short point guard can rebound so much) to control the score , and gradually pulled apart.

His pair of long hands, like a pair of huge pliers, tightly pinched the Sea Wolves who were trying to stir up trouble.

"Rondo, Rondo." Ruan Erniu immediately remembered the name.

After the dust settles, no matter how disappointed they are, the Seawolves, who suffered a defeat, must pack up their spirits and continue the next game.Even if they are farther and farther away from the "March Madness" quota, it does not affect the encouragement of the home fans to them.

This is the NCAA, and this is American college basketball that is not polluted by excessive money.Although it is impossible for most players to continue their basketball career on a higher stage in the future, at this moment, they are the protagonists in the center of the court.

"What are you thinking?" Ruan Daniu came to the arena at some point.

"Brother, I also want to play basketball!" Ruan Erniu said to his brother.

This time it was Professor Ruan's turn to be confused, he was obviously unprepared for his brother's answer.

Ruan Xueba thought for a while and said, "Are you sure? It wasn't just a momentary impulse?"

Er Niu said seriously: "No. Brother, I am not afraid of your jokes. In fact, I have always had an Olympic dream in my heart. I want to wear the national team uniform to fight on the field. My height does not allow me to wear a gymnastics suit. But that doesn't mean I don't have the opportunity to wear other sportswear. Today, I watched this NCAA game, and I thought I should have other possibilities."

Daniel shook his finger and said: "Dreams do not represent reality, and height cannot be equal to basketball. Why do you let others believe that you have such talent? You know, even a Chinese player like Yao Ming who has become a superstar in the NBA is now The CBA has achieved great success, so it landed in the United States. And your professional experience in basketball is 0!"

Speaking of this, Ruan Erniu was also a little discouraged. After all, he was a professional athlete.Of course, I understand the truth that interlacing is like a mountain.

After a while, he still said unwillingly: "Then I have no chance at all?"

I thought that my brother would continue to hit his self-confidence, but Erniu Children's Shoes guessed wrong this time.

Professor Ruan said in a very positive tone: "Who said that? My Er Niu's excellent physical fitness, as long as he refines a little, it is entirely possible to become another Chinese NBA basketball superstar from China after Dayao. However, due to You don't have any domestic league experience or international results, so you don't have that easy access to the NBA to attract the attention of the national team."

Er Niu asked: "Then what should I do?"

"It's very simple! Play NCAA! Take the orthodox American basketball route, and then join the NBA. However, if you want to enter the NCAA, you must first be admitted to a prestigious basketball school with NCAA Division I qualifications." Professor Ruan finally pictured See you poorly.

"So I have to study hard to prepare for the exam first?" Ruan Erniu scratched his head and said.

Ruan Xueba nodded seriously.

Er Niu, who is not smart enough, feels that he may be trapped.

Well, maybe, it seems, it seems, that's the way it is!
