I'm really not a superstar

Chapter 17
Another week of Joey Dorsey's grueling special training.

Coach Calipari did what he said, and added an hour of low-post attack training without reducing the original training volume.

Through the contest with Yi Jianlian, Dorsey and the coaching staff have made a consensus that Dorsey needs to enhance his ability to take the initiative to attack.

For this reason, Dorsey also quietly changed his sp value distribution plan. Instead of adding all of it to defense and physical attributes, he took out 1/3 of the sp value and allocated it to low-post offensive attributes.

His low post attack value is only a pitiful 35, and a little increase will consume 140+ sp value.

This time, the sp value that was originally not much became even more insignificant.

Therefore, Dorsey cherishes every bit of sp value even more, and tries his best to complete the special training tasks released by the system every day.

But in this way, it takes a lot of physical strength and energy.

Every day, Dorsey is exhausted into a dead dog. Sometimes he is really worried that one day he will die suddenly on the court.

However, his body is also considered to be extremely talented, no matter how tired he is, just take a bath and sleep, and he will be alive and well the next day.

Dorsey had to lament that the physiques of people are really different, and the bodies of black people are hard!
In the eyes of Coach Calipari, Dorsey's life-stricken performance every day has a different meaning in his brain:
Through the contest with Yi Jianlian, Dorsey not only discovered his own weaknesses, but also clarified the direction of strengthening and improvement.

It made him see hope even more.

Since Yi is said to be able to get a high pick in the lottery, there is great hope for the future of himself who is inseparable from him!
Hope is like a carrot in front of a donkey, making him work harder!
In any case, Coach Calipari is very relieved: Dorsey, who used to be stupid and rough, has grown up, knows how to work hard, and is out of control, becoming one of the hardest players he has ever seen.

This kid has a bright future!

Dorsey has also figured out the reason for Yi Jianlian's sudden runaway in the past few days, probably because he really cares about other people's allegations about his age.

This is not just as simple as being 3 or 4 years younger, but also related to the outside world's evaluation of his future.

There is an essential difference between a player who entered the NBA at the age of 19 and a player who entered the NBA at the age of 23.

Potential, mentality, and plasticity are all different.

With the draft looming, and with the debate about his age intensifying, he's under too much pressure.

If he brought up this matter in normal times, he might laugh it off, but at this juncture, this topic is a fatal taboo!
Asking his age meant distrusting him, and the one who asked this question was an opponent who was inextricably linked to him.

The contempt from his opponent touched the most fragile nerve in his heart!
It should be like this!

But having said that, I was born in 83!In any case, he is older than Ah Lian, shouldn't he be more depressed?
No wonder I was only a second-round pick in my previous life. At this age, which team would waste energy and money on training?

Of course, they don't know that they have a system in their life!

Dorsey sent a message to Ah Lian through coach Cui Wanjun, saying that he had just made an unintentional mistake and had no malicious intentions. I hope he doesn't mind and wish him a high pick.

Coach Cui Wanjun came back and told Dorsey that the United Arab Emirates didn't mind. At the same time, he thanked him for his blessing and wished him to enter the NBA in the future.

It's just that it's hard to say how much Director Cui made up this statement.

The special training has finally come to an end, because it is about to come to the day when the team regroups.

Dorsey had three days to rest and adjust. In the past few days, Dorsey did nothing and slept in the dark.

He was really tired during this time!
In a blink of an eye, it was team assembly day.

The teammates all came back from their holidays, chatting together, discussing their travels and experiences during the holidays.

Everyone was surprised at the first reaction after seeing Dorsey, feeling that his face looked thinner, but his body became stronger.

This is all thanks to the high-intensity training during special training, which reduces fat and increases muscle latitude.

Now he has lost 4 pounds (about 1.8 kg) than when he first crossed
Seeing the surprise of his teammates, Dorsey was still very embarrassed, at least his hard work was not in vain.

but.Soon the attention of the teammates was attracted by another matter, because it is said that there is a super powerful guy among the rookies this year.

Point guard Will Kemp, in particular, was rather glum.

As soon as he saw Dorsey, he complained:
"Joy, did you guys already receive inside information? No wonder you said after the game against Ohio State University that my chances are running out this year!"

Of course, Joey denied it, what inside information could he have!

"Hmph, then you are a wizard. If I lose my main position, you will be the one to curse me!"

Dorsey stuck out his tongue,
"My dear Smallville, don't speak so harshly, what am I to curse!

If you want the main position, you can fight for it by yourself. Speaking of which, how powerful that guy is, he is just a freshman!

What, are you afraid? "

Joey's fanning the flames made Will Camp's blood surge, yes, what are you afraid of!No matter how good the opponent is, at best, he has only proved himself in high school basketball!

This is a university, it's the NCAA, it's not a heavyweight at all, I want to let that new guy know what an NCAA Elite Eight-level point guard is!
Seeing Will Kemp's renewed confidence, Joey had the urge to laugh.

I'm just poking a silly dog ​​on the wall!
That new guy is amazing, he knows better than anyone in this era!

Sure enough, when the coaching staff appeared in the arena, Joey saw that amazing guy from the rookies behind Coach Calipari at a glance.

He is not too tall, he is still a little thin at the moment, and there are still some traces of innocence on his face.

But a pair of eyes are piercing, standing there tall and straight, looking serious, his whole temperament is like a brand new and sharp dagger.

Coach Calipari gave a brief lecture first, and then introduced the newcomers one by one.

Put that guy in the finale without a doubt.

"This year we have 4 newcomers in the team, I have already introduced the first 3, and now I will focus on the last one.

He comes from Simon Career Academy and led the team to the Illinois State Championship for two consecutive years. Last season, he led the team to a record of 33 wins and 1 loss.

And his personal total data in high school averaged 25.2 points, 9.1 rebounds, 8.8 assists and 3.4 steals per game.He was selected to the All-American High School Team and was also named the Illinois Mr. Basketball of the Year by the Chicago Tribune.

We fell short on the road to the championship last year. I believe that with the addition of him and other newcomers this year, our last piece of the championship puzzle will be completed!
By the way, I haven't introduced his name yet.

Next, let me introduce him grandly, he is - Derek Rose! "
