The Legend of Small Steel Cannons in the NBA

Chapter 4 Making Decisions
Kyle has been discharged from the hospital for several days, undergoing recovery training, and occasionally going to the stadium for activities!The few troublemakers who used to hang out with him were also deliberately avoided by him.Today is the high school graduation ceremony. After visiting this stop, he will go into the comprehensive training that he planned earlier, and he will not go anywhere.

"Hi! Kyle, I heard that you are hospitalized? Are you okay?" Walking towards him was a big white man who was nearly seven feet tall. He looked very old, but he was a high school student and one of Kyle's teammates. , named Smith, was one of the contributors to their school team's third-place finish in the Southeast Conference.Although his skills are not outstanding, he has height and weight!Form a natural barrier inside, the main core of defense.

"Yes! I'm fine." Kyle walked over and gave him a firm hug. They were both in the last semester of high school. We don't know when we will see each other again!
"Come on, Tim is over there." Tim is another main teammate of the school team. He serves as a small forward and is about to graduate just like them.

"Are you doing magic tricks for Mexican girls again?"

"Generally speaking, it is like this."

"This guy is always so open. Hasn't he thought about the worries after graduation? For example, which university to choose."

"This is Tim. That's right! Which school did you choose?"

"It's not confirmed yet, do you have any good suggestions?"

"UConn, this is the right choice."

"That's what everyone says, but man, things didn't go the way I expected, they didn't want to offer me a scholarship, you know, it's important to me, it's frustrating."

"Yes! This is the trouble of happiness, and I don't have this trouble at all. No university has mentioned the heavy topic of scholarship to me."

"Okay! Okay! You'll prove they're all idiots with your actions."

"No! I know what I'm worth. I don't ask for anything. I love basketball, that's it." Who doesn't love scholarships? Smith's family is also very difficult. There are seniors and children. He also grew up in a single-parent family. Life was pretty poor.Of course, whoever wants to enter the NBA represents the highest hall of basketball, and Smith also thinks, but his basketball skills are really clumsy, his physical fitness is unspeakably outstanding, and entering the NBA is really tantamount to a dream.

"You always do, believe in yourself, miracles happen everywhere."

"Okay, stop it. Kyle! My brother, you are not like us, you are destined to be a great basketball player, NBA is your goal, let that scholarship go to hell. UConn, There is no doubt that they have won two championships in six years, Emeka Okafor and Ben Gordon have left, and you will create an era there." Smith restrained his frivolity and said solemnly.

"But I need it badly, buddy."

"Oh! God, Kyle! There, you will get more attention, and your talents will be displayed more. After entering the NBA, you have everything, understand?"

"I shine everywhere, man, trust me. But UConn doesn't give me enough respect. The scholarship is not just about money, it's more about recognition."

"Okay! You win. The University of Arkansas is not as famous as Villanova University. The latter is a good choice."

"Randy Foye has been confirmed to join Villanova University, Aaron Ray is their leader, you know, they are all talents, and they are all in the backcourt."

"Oh my god, it really sucks."

The two walked side by side, Smith was struggling, but Kyle saw someone he shouldn't have seen.Mattelly, the basketball coach of St. Joseph University, the guy he called a dog was walking towards him, his brows were tightly locked, and he looked worried.

"Smith, you go first, Tim should be waiting." Kyle said helplessly.

"Huh?" Smith was stunned, looked up, suddenly realized, and then winked at Kyle. "OK."

Mattelly approached and spoke first.

"Hi, Kyle."

"Are you here to continue persuading me?"

"Yes!"

"Okay! Here, I apologize for my recklessness a few days ago. Then you can list the benefits and reasons I got from joining your school." Kyle smiled.

Mattelly was dumbfounded and apologized!He has a very good attitude and is even smiling. He can't believe that Kyle is so talkative?When we met last time, Kyle heard that he was from St. Joseph University, but he directly called him a dog.At that time, he felt very angry and walked away. This child is too uneducated!But Mattelly knew everything about Kyle, and when he went back to think about it, there was no doubt that Kyle, who lived in a very poor environment since he was a child, never received a good education.Old man Mattelly relieved Kyle in his heart, and it is unknown if the child said something unintentionally that day.In addition, St. Joseph's University is almost at the bottom of every year under his coaching. One can imagine the pressure on him from the school. The next semester is the ultimatum given by the leader. If there is no breakthrough, then he will pack up and leave. Become a solid fact.

The old man was not reconciled, so he tried his best to recruit talented players and acted as a lobbyist himself, but the effect was not good. He was almost famous. All athletes who had the opportunity to enter the NBA were completely rejected, and even players with a little bit of potential were politely rejected.No one wants to fall into this unfathomable quagmire. The poor record shows that there is little attention, and the chances of entering the NBA will drop geometrically. Talented players are even more unwilling to accept invitations, resulting in worse strength, lower competitiveness, and weaker strength. The worse it is, the less good players it gets.A vicious circle has formed, and that's it. St. Joseph University is getting deeper and deeper, and there is no possibility of breaking out.That's why Mattelly took the risk and came to visit Kyle again.

"We will determine that you are the absolute core of the team, set tactics for you, and provide you with a full scholarship. As for the credits, you can rest assured that the school will help you figure it out. There is the best environment here, and everything will be ruled out for you. External factors allow you to play with peace of mind. We will try our best to satisfy all your requirements." Matterly didn't have time to think about it, and immediately had a continuous meal.

"That's all? Sir."

Matterly sweated on his forehead, thinking hard about his own advantages and benefits, but he couldn't figure it out.Other schools can explain the glorious history of their school basketball team, brilliant culture, glorious deeds, lineup depth, former school team stars, etc., but Saint Joseph's University has no one.Really helpless, Mattelly, who is not good at words, uttered a nonsense that made him blush. "We're very cohesive, we're exceptionally united."

"Very good!" Kyle responded. "I am willing to serve you."

"Wow! The good news came so suddenly, I lost my composure, sorry." Mattelly was as happy as a child.Kyle was embarrassed for a while, this is too exaggerated.

"But I have a request. I also need a scholarship. My high school teammate Smith is a good guy." Kyle took advantage of the opportunity to help his friend.

"The tall guy just now?"

Kyle nodded.

"No problem at all."
