Super Evolution of Basketball

Chapter 72 Secret Weapon
Yuan Qingshan buried his head in the pool, calmed down for a while, held it for a full 20 seconds, then raised his head abruptly, looked at his wet face in the mirror, and was stunned for a while.

"Hurry up, Xiaoshan, I've packed everything." Downs kept urging outside.

Yuan Qingshan shook his head, throwing away all the negative thoughts from last night.

After the two packed up, Downs turned around and locked the door, just as Lyles and Booker in the next bedroom had just left.

"Towns, I've been promoted again!" Lyles yelled excitedly when he saw his teammates.

Downs laughed loudly: "Really, congratulations, how much is it now?"

Lyles took out his mobile phone: "Sports Illustrated predicts that I will be selected by the Utah Jazz at the [-]th pick."

Towns is already a well-deserved No. [-] pick. Caulistan is predicted to be the sixth pick, Lyles is the [-]th pick, and Booker should be around the [-]th. What an excellent teammate. No matter how you look at it, Kentucky will have a bumper harvest this year. It would be even more perfect if they can win the championship.

The four walked down the stairs together, and Towns touched his chin as he walked: "I haven't watched many Jazz games. I feel that they play quite well, with a good offensive and defensive system and team atmosphere. No matter how much they are worth, everyone can show their energy."

Yuan Qingshan was surprised: "You know quite a lot."

Downs opened his palm with a smile, revealing the mobile phone in his palm, and the screen displayed the Wikipedia page.

Lyles yelled, "You cheated!"

At this time, he had already walked out of the building door, and Downs ran towards the arena with a smile. Lyles chased after him, wanting to beat him up.

The two live treasures ran away, leaving Devin Booker and Yuan Qingshan.

"Thank you for passing the ball." Booker said suddenly.

Yuan Qingshan was stunned: "Ah."

Booker continued: "How did you develop your rebounding?"

Yuan Qingshan was taken aback again: "Huh?"

He really didn't know how to answer, this was not practiced, it was all because of Da Ben's purple skill, it's almost like picking it up.

Booker himself was so cool that he didn't like to talk all the time. Seeing that Yuan Qingshan didn't answer twice, he stopped talking.

Yuan Qingshan felt a little awkward, people finally wanted to chat with him, but he didn't know where to start.

Fortunately, building No. [-] was not far from the training hall, and the awkward atmosphere did not last for too long.

Yuan Qingshan walked into the arena and found that some teammates were already warming up. It seemed that yesterday's victory had greatly boosted the team's morale, and the players were full of energy.

"Qingshan, come here!" Coach John waved from the sidelines.

"coach."

"How was your rest last night?" the coach twisted his waist and exchanged a warm greeting.

"Very good." Yuan Qingshan replied calmly, but the actual situation was not good at all. That annoying dream lasted all night, and the whole world laughed at him for joining the Lakers through Kobe's back door.

The coach nodded and got to the point: "After yesterday's game, a team contacted me to ask about your situation."

"Huh? Which team?" Yuan Qingshan was surprised. He thought that only talented youngsters like Towns and Caulistan would be picked up in early April. After all, there are still nearly three months before the draft at the end of June.

"Don't you guess it?" The coach made a trick on purpose.

"I can't guess." Yuan Qingshan shook his head, could it still be the Lakers, would that female scout play so many roles?

"Cleveland Cavaliers."

As soon as the name was uttered, Yuan Qingshan was stunned. Isn't that the little emperor LeBron James' team?
Yuan Qingshan's stunned expression at this time was completely expected by Coach John.

He patted Yuan Qingshan on the shoulder: "I told you this to tell you that you should be full of hope at all times, as long as you are willing to work hard, then there will be rewards. You have played very well in these few games. After that, haven't you already started to get the attention of NBA teams?"

Yuan Qingshan nodded thoughtfully. He was still belittling himself last night. Coach John's words really lifted the thin fog in Yuan Qingshan's heart.

Today's training has a lot of content, but the players have done well. There are still four days before the NCAA Finals. Everyone is very excited and high-spirited.

After the team training, Coach John arranged a special project for Yuan Qingshan, but it was not about rebounding, but how to make a pivot and play a good pass from inside to outside.

All the starting players of the team were retained, and everyone took turns to cooperate with Yuan Qingshan. This allowed Yuan Qingshan to better adapt to the speed and running style of each teammate, so that he could pass the ball more comfortably and create offensive opportunities in the first place.

The same is true for the next two days. After three days of training, Yuan Qingshan and the other four formed a certain degree of tacit understanding. Needless to say, Downs, even Caulistan can fight with Yuan Qingshan.

After training on the last day, Coach John gathered the five of them together, emphasizing that this trick is a secret weapon and should only be used at critical moments. It is code-named "Tactical No. 8", which is the number of Yuan Qingshan's jersey.

His mysterious arrangement made Towns inexplicably excited: "Secret weapon, it's so exciting, think about how we surprise our opponents in front of fans all over the country, hahahaha!"

"I think you are a fool now!" Yuan Qingshan complained, and Downs scratched his head embarrassedly.

Everyone left the training hall amid laughter, and the door was locked heavily by Coach John.

Regardless of tomorrow's success or failure, tonight is the Wildcats' farewell practice.

Coach John deliberately walked very slowly, looking at the vigorous figures of the five young people in front of him, he was a little choked up.

……

The Finals are scheduled for April [-], still at Lucas Oil Stadium.

Tickets were sold out as early as a week ago. Judging from the purchase of IP, Kentucky and Duke fans are evenly matched.

The Kentucky Wildcats played against the Duke Blue Devils. This is a game that is enough to cause a sensation in the world of basketball. It really hit the earth.

The Wildcats returned to Polis a day early, and this time they found a place away from the arena so there would be fewer reporters around.

Coach John raised the alert to the highest S-level. All players are strictly prohibited from entering and leaving the hotel without permission. They must be accompanied by the team's staff when they go out.

Downs and Yuan Qingshan just nestled in the room and watched TV. The most popular these days is TNT's old-fashioned program "Inside the NBA", but the name was changed to "Inside the NCAA" according to the situation.

The guests the day before yesterday were Billups and Mourning. Today is the last day before the game. The guest lineup has been upgraded to include Shaquille O'Neal, Shaq's old partner Barkley and General Stockton.

"Wait, what is Barkley, Shark's old partner, why did I mention this guy in my title!" Barkley took off his ears and protested.

O'Neill adjusted his neckline and said proudly: "It's not easy, of course it's for the effect of the show, I guarantee the ratings!"
