Chapter 9 Who is the second player in heads-up

"Of course" Su Yang blurted out the answer.

"Then why do you want to be the boss?"

"I want to give it a try, I've never been the boss before."

Su Yang's thoughts are flying, thinking that when he was a primary school student, he followed the boss in the next class to fight in groups, and when he went to work, he followed the leader into the elevator, and when he was dating, he always let his girlfriend decide what movie to watch, whether to choose Pepsi or Coca-Cola.

"Very well, then do you know what it takes to be the boss?" David asked again.

Su Yang thought for a while, "Help your teammates to become better and lead them to victory."

"These two things are very easy to say, but they need to solve a lot of problems. You don't have to worry, I will help you all the time, but everything has to be a process. Your situation is special, and you have to follow the steps." David said .

"I believe in the process."

Su Yang knows that even if David approves, he cannot directly use the coach's authority to arrange himself to become the boss of the team.

The reason is very simple. First of all, I have not shown super strength before. Even if the video is widely spread, there will be many teammates who have not watched it. Secondly, I am a foreigner and have no mass base. If I suddenly want to be the boss, I will easily encounter resistance.

If it is a local black like Kevin Durant, even if he transfers from university, he can immediately become the boss.

"You can say that, I am very happy."

David smiled, "Then let's talk about the next question, what role do you want to play in the game?"

"It depends on the needs of the team. It's not enough for the center to grab the basket and block the position. I am very adaptable."

Su Yang had observed carefully before, among the ten or so teammates in the school team, only one was over 190 centimeters tall, and he wore 183 shoes, so except for the center position, he could play in the other four positions.

"You don't have the mentality of being the boss."

David chuckled, "You are super strong, and you should let your teammates play around you. You can either be a shooting guard like Iverson and Kobe, or a point forward like LeBron, or a Baron Davis. Point guard, get it?"

Su Yang thought for a moment, then nodded to express his understanding.

Many facts have proved that LeBron can play the most powerful role in the main control. Kobe is also very good off the ball but does not help the team that much. The value of super powerful players is to improve the team's strength to a higher level.

"So what do you think now?" David asked.

"I want to be LeBron + Curry"

Su Yang clenched his fist subconsciously, "With the strongest shooting ability, the strongest off-ball ability, super defensive ability, super organizational ability, both speed and strength, agility and flexibility are equally excellent, simply put, it is perfect and invincible!"

"Curry? Who is Curry?" David looked puzzled, "Dell Curry from the Raptors?"

"Um...yes, the best sixth man, he is very capable of three-pointers. I have seen him play before." Su Yang scratched his head, thinking that Curry's father still has about 40% three-pointers at the end of his career. The hit rate is not nonsense.

"You are really different!" David looked excited. "Nowadays, children like LeBron or Kobe, and occasionally a few like Jordan. Like a niche player like you, which reflects your unique observation ability."

"It's not bad." Su Yang was quite embarrassed, but unexpectedly received praise by mistake.

"Since you want to control the entire court."

David opened the drawer and took out a notebook, "Then you must understand all the tactics. This is the tactic that our team will use in the future. If you memorize it first, you will be able to cooperate with your teammates faster during training."

"Okay." Su Yang took the notebook, opened it and glanced at it, and found it to be quite simple.

"Also remember to keep shooting training, I will arrange for you to show in the next training." David said, "That will be the first step for you to become the leader of the team. If everything goes well, I will show you to participate in streetball later. Video of the game."

"Don't worry, I will definitely get it done."

Su Yang knew that the previous 4 consecutive shots made his teammates feel that he was a rookie, and he had to complete the transformation under the witness of many teammates in order to re-establish a good impression, otherwise the teammates would always have doubts.

"Also, I have a piece of advice."

David's tone became serious, "You are about to usher in the first peak of your life, and many people will contact you for various purposes, both good and bad, and they all hope that you will follow their arrangements. You have to stand firm in your beliefs.”

Su Yang listened silently.

As long as a person is famous, all kinds of temptations will follow, and there may even be traps.

Apart from other fields, as far as the NBA is concerned, many players have not resisted the temptation after becoming famous, such as Sean Kemp, a lot of mistresses and illegitimate children, all kinds of unrestrained consumption, and in the end they are still looking for games when they are 40 years old. .

"I heard that you also won a luxury car, I suggest you don't drive it to school." David said, "Don't be misled by the handsome pictures in the movie, high school students driving luxury cars will bring A lot of unnecessary trouble."

Hearing this, Su Yang felt a little entangled in his heart, how cool and cool it is to drive a luxury car to school.

But right now, it is true that I am entangled with this issue. The core idea of ​​the coach is not to be distracted by trivial matters.

"Many scouts are paying attention to you now, and they think it is possible to enter the NBA." David continued, "If you think so, you'd better make a plan as soon as possible, because there are many players like you in the United States. Compete with them."

"I will."

Su Yang knew that what David said was true. Every year in the NBA draft, except for the lottery picks, those people are basically determined, and the subsequent picks are extremely variable, especially in the second round. The difference in strength is very small, and the probability of losing is extremely high.

"Don't fall behind in your coursework, don't skip classes, try to improve your GPA, this will increase your choice of universities, and at the same time help you get a full scholarship, and if you fail to enter the NBA, you will also have professional knowledge."

"Understood." Su Yang nodded. This means don't put all your eggs in one basket. Many NCAA players are like this. They train hard while taking classes seriously. After all, entering the NBA is a small probability.

The two chatted for a while, David left the arena, and Su Yang stayed to practice shooting.

I practiced until noon before returning to my residence with a tactical notebook. On the way, I seriously thought about what Coach David said, mainly about whether to enter the NBA. It seems that there is no factor that can stop it.

Even if you don't succeed in the end, try it.

...

After lunch, Su Yang glanced at the mailbox, but neither Kobe nor the Lakers responded.

The shooting video has only about [-] views, while the video posted on Mr. Zhao's streetball website has nearly [-] views. The two videos are also mainly about him, and the feedback is very different.

There is no way. At the moment, there is no correlation promotion algorithm like Douyin, and users have to manually find videos to watch.

With a little depression, Su Yang decided to take a nap, but he was woken up shortly after lying down.

There was a lot of movement outside the room, as if people were coming and going, so I couldn't help but get up and open the door to check.

It turned out that someone moved in, and there was a tall and fat child who was directing with his hips on his hips.

According to what Aunt Li said last night, this person should be the high school international student.

Su Yang was about to say hello, but the child ran up to him first, with a joyful expression on his face.

"You are Su Yang, right? I've seen that video. You play basketball very well!"

"It's average." Su Yang was subconsciously humble.

"Don't be humble, they all say you can make it to the NBA." The kid talks like a machine gun, "By the way, my name is Zheng Xiang, I'm from the Northeast, I just came to the United States for a month, and I plan to study here until the end of college..."

After Zheng Xiang finished speaking, Su Yang withdrew his thoughts and said casually, "Very good, you are welcome."

"I hope you can help me answer a basketball question that has plagued me for many years." Zheng Xiang's small eyes showed anticipation, "I have been arguing with my good brother about this for a long time. You are a professional, and you will definitely have a good interpretation."

"Tell me?" Su Yang was curious.

"Among the slam dunks, who is the second one in heads-up?"
