Basketball: Starting from the Rodman template

Chapter 16 Special Training Invitation

"Wu, didn't you say that the trial training at St. Mary's High School was not difficult at all?" Stephen Curry finally remembered the reason why he came here so "huffing".

His "questioning" instead made Woody look puzzled.

Is not it?
Stephen Curry saw that Woody was still pretending to be "stupid", so he told what happened to him during the trial training in the morning, and finally he did not forget to complain: "I thought I was training astronauts!"

Need to test so many items?

Woody was frightened, and he told the truth: "When I was trying out, Drew just arranged some physical tests. After the results came out, he told me that I was already a member of St. Mary's basketball team..."

Stephen Curry was "stunned", and he wanted to rush to Drew immediately and yell at him:
Isn't this bullying honest people?

Am I shorter and thinner than Woody, less explosive?

Is the difference so big!
He really hates this basketball world that only looks at "body". One day, he will let everyone know that even a guy with average physical fitness can have the ability to change the game of basketball!

"Okay, buddy, you came here to find me, you didn't just want to tell me that your trial training was successful, and how tortuous your trial training was today, right?"

Uh……

Woody's question stopped Stephen Curry.

He really came here for this.

But soon!

He reacted and remembered Dell Curry's question: "My dad said he will stay in Akron for a while, and if you need him, he can train us for a while..."

"Of course!" Woody nodded in agreement before Stephen Curry could finish speaking.

It has been half a month since he came back from the training camp. The training during this period made him understand that a good mentor is too important. He can make such rapid progress in the training camp. In addition to his extraordinary talent, it has a lot to do with Ben Wallace's timely correction, which saved him a lot of detours.

Take the shooting he is currently practicing as an example. Although Stephen Curry will help him ask Dell Curry some "difficult diseases" from time to time, the progress is ultimately slow.

The night he met Stephen Curry, he looked up information about Dell Curry online.

The top pitcher in the NBA, won the "Best Sixth Man", and is also the Hornets' team history scoring leader.As far as shooting alone is concerned, he is not much different from Ben Wallace's accomplishments in front of the rebound, and they are both absolute authority.

If Dell Curry can help him train face to face for a few days, he believes that even if his shooting talent is not so exaggerated, the speed of improvement will definitely be much faster than it is now.

After getting the answer, Curry walked away in a hurry. Woody probably practiced until about 5 pm, and packed up his things and went home. When he got home, Wu Erzhuang had also returned, and pointed to the shoe cabinet by the door: "I just signed a package for you. Did your parents send you anything from China?"

"No!"

Woody had a phone call with his parents a week ago.Wu Erzhuang sent the newspaper back. Seeing that his son had appeared in the newspaper, Wu's parents and Wu's mother were very pleased, and their tone of voice became much lighter.When Woody realized this, he hoped that every time he called his parents in the future, he could bring them good news that filled them with hope.

He is working towards that goal.

However, Wu's father and Wu's mother did not say that they would send something over, and Woody was not entangled. He took a knife and carefully opened it. After seeing the shoe box inside, he immediately reacted:
The free basketball shoes sponsored by AND1 have arrived!

He hastened to unpack the package, and there were five shoe boxes inside.Wu Erzhuang was also curious about what was in the package, and after Woody took the things out of the package, he came over to take a look at the first time.

"Huh? Xiao Di, did you buy so many basketball shoes at once?"

Woody explained: "No, at the end of the training camp, AND1 signed a contract with me to send me a few pairs of basketball shoes every month."

When he said this, Wu Erzhuang understood: "This is the endorsement contract, right? Xiao Di, you are really talented! After going to the training camp, you actually got an endorsement contract. The newspaper is right, you are a basketball genius!"

The more Wu Erzhuang talked, the more excited he became. He knelt down to touch his shoes, and got up to get the landline again: "No, I have to call your parents... I have to tell them the good news!"

Looking at his cheerful appearance, Woody also laughed and shook his head, but thinking of his parents' happy expressions when they heard the news, he also felt a lot happier.

but……

There are several levels of sneaker endorsement contracts.

Woody isn't even an endorsement deal.

For a real endorsement contract, at least there is a signing fee, and the official will also specifically contact the media to report this matter.

A higher-level endorsement contract will also provide players with exclusive signature shoes.

And the highest level is Michael Jordan's endorsement contract. Nike has specially given him a sub-brand: AJ!

Thinking of this, the joy in Woody's heart was swept away. He knew that he had just started on the road, and he was still far away from the top of the mountain!
Early the next morning, Woody arrived at the arena on time. After warming up as usual, he saw Stephen Curry and Dell Curry walking in through the gate.

"Hey, buddy, you came early enough." Dell Curry greeted him the same way as last time, but compared to the last time, he was much more enthusiastic this time, and he opened his hands to hug Woody.

After all, Woody and his son will be teammates next.

While embracing, Dell Curry "up and down his hands", and commented: "Well, the height is good, the wingspan can be said to be excellent, but you still need to increase your muscles, but your skeleton is good, this process should be very smooth..."

Originally, when I heard Stephen Curry say that during Woody's trial training, Drew only conducted some physical tests on him and let him enter the school team. Dell Curry was still a little skeptical.

The last time he saw Woody was the last time, and it was only a quick glance, and he didn't take a closer look.

Now that he has experienced Woody's excellent physical condition carefully, he believes it!

Even he is full of praise for this physical condition, let alone Drew who values ​​physical condition very much!
Listening to Dell Curry's evaluation, Woody complained in his heart a little speechlessly:
He also rated it!

Dell Curry's enthusiasm made him a little uncomfortable, and he always felt weird...

Fortunately, Dell Curry quickly let go of the hug and got to the point: "Come on, Wu, I think Stephen has made it clear to you. In the next two weeks, I will give you some special training so that you can better improve yourself!"

Seeing Woody nodding, he clasped his hands together and made a "snap" sound: "Then let's start..."
