NBA: I'm really not a point guard god

Chapter 50 After the Semifinals

This final is over.

Lady Joseph Memorial Secondary School won.

Coach Stephen Ross is happy.

At the beginning, he promised the school that he would lead the team to the semi-finals this year.

Now, the school team has reached the final.

Regardless of the result, he has already exceeded the task.

This year is Stephen's contract year.

Soon, the big contract is coming.

And he led the team to the final.

Even if you go to another school, the salary will not be bad.

As for next year, both John Gordon and Zhou Yao will graduate.

Especially Zhou Yao, most of this year's games were directed by Zhou Yao.

There are very few things that Coach Ross can really get involved with.

But mind him!

So what if the results next year are not good.

He was the one who led the team to the final.

Moreover, the current Stephen doesn't have to stay.

Among other things, at least in North Carolina, there are not a few schools that are willing to give him a big contract.

A happier John Gordon than Stephen.

UNC has made it clear that his full scholarship is no longer in question.

For John who was born in a poor neighborhood, most of his peers hang out on the streets, and his grades are not good.

It would be nice to go to a community college like my girlfriend Rebecca did.

From an early age, John knew that his life was completely different from that of the middle-class kids on the next block.

Fortunately, there is basketball.

John's game skills are the highest among those around him.

But that seems to be all there is to it.

Wanting to rely on basketball to win a scholarship and enter an ideal university, he had already given up this dream at this time last year.

Over the years, NBA salaries have grown substantially.

Although the exact amount is not clear, John has heard of it to some extent.

In the nba, becoming a millionaire seems to be an easy task.

It was hard for John himself to convince himself that one day, he could also join the NBA.

All along, John has been said to be very talented in basketball.

However, what are these talents, and my own talents have reached that level again.

No one ever told John.

He couldn't quite figure it out himself.

He will practice as the coach arranges.

Sometimes I will take the initiative to train myself.

However, all this cannot be said to have no effect.

It's just that as he grows older, John only feels that he is getting farther and farther away from his goal.

Until I met Zhou Yao.

Whether in the Bad Boys or the basketball team, John was the first to stand up and support Zhou Yao.

This includes Zhou Yao asking him to strengthen his endurance training, and to play more off the ball in the game.

Originally, John was the absolute core of the team.

However, the core of the team has been unknown.

No higher than John's current status.

At least, he is now the second in command of the state league final team.

And he is still the second leader of the scoring champion level in the team.

Even if you look at the entire North Carolina high school.

The only player with a higher score than his opponent in the final, Jose Lopez of West Forsyth High School.

Jose averaged 32.1 points per game, and John also averaged 31.7 points per game.

almost the same.

Behind them is Chris Paul, also from West Forsyth High School.

Averaged 26.1 points per game.

But in John's own opinion.

Whether he himself or Jose, they are not as good as Zhou Yao.

The only regret is that Zhou Yao won a full scholarship from the University of North Carolina in order to help herself in the semifinals.

Almost completely forgoing scoring.

It was just a 2+1 layup before the intermission.

If Zhou Yao could score more points in the last game.

Perhaps, the debate about who will be the No. [-] high school student in the United States should be over now.

……

Coach Stephen Ross was delighted.

John Gordon was also delighted.

But in the finals, Zhou Yao was the happiest.

Zhou Yao gained a lot in the semi-finals.

Unlike John.

Before the competition, John's scholarship was not yet secure.

The University of North Carolina also hopes that John can perform better in order to grant a full scholarship.

Before that, Zhou Yao had already received invitations from many universities.

For them, whether Zhou Yao is good enough to play in the NBA is not in their consideration.

And a point guard who can pass the ball accurately and grab rebounds is what they need.

As for Zhou Yao's scoring ability, it is also dispensable for them.

What's more, this year is only in North Carolina, and Zhou Yao is the only one who got double-double data.

Of course, Zhou Yao's double-double looks a little strange.

But Zhou Yao himself has no ambitions.

Playing college basketball meant nothing to him.

And Zhou Yao had contact with David Stern.

The nba president also meant that he hoped that Zhou Yao would not play college basketball.

Instead, directly participate in the draft.

However, Stern can't guarantee the draft pick.

It just means that it should not fall to the second round.

In the first round of the show, Zhou Yao was already very satisfied.

After all, Zhou Yao knows his current strength best.

What really pleased him was that the game accomplished two tasks at once.

The first thing to complete is of course the main task six: lead the team to the state finals.

Get a chance to draw a star card pool.

The recommendation card in the card pool is still the 4-star Pau Gasol star card.

Zhou Yao decided to continue waiting.

The newly received tasks were as expected.

Main task seven: Lead the team to win the state championship.

At the same time, there is also side task four: help John Gordon get a full scholarship to the university.

This time the reward is no longer something new.

Instead, the existing skill "I can see the hit rate with my left eye" has been upgraded from level 1 to level 2.

Zhou Yao checked it out.

I found that this time I can not only see my shooting percentage when I am on the field.

At the same time, even off the court, you can see the fluctuation of the hit rate in the future.

Not particularly precise though.

However, it is also possible to infer the approximate best shooting time based on the fluctuation law of the hit rate.

Zhou Yao immediately went to the basketball court to try it out.

It seems to be useful, but it seems to be of no use.

Maybe it's because I'm not skilled enough to use it.

Zhou Yao decided to increase his shooting practice before the final.

Although I don't expect to improve my shooting level in the past few days.

At least make yourself more proficient in this new skill.

Members of the Bad Boys Gang also expressed their willingness to join Zhou Yao's practice.

Thus, a simple shooting drill became a game.

Everything is no different from the regular game.

Except that neither side has a coach.

Rebecca, as the only girl, acted as the referee.

However, an accident occurred only in the second game of the game.

John sprained his foot.

When John was carried off the field, his face was in pain.

Zhou Yao almost thought that he was wrong.

John even winked at him...
