Basketball: Starting from the Rodman template

Chapter 31 How old is this kid?It can't be that he hasn't graduated from elementary school yet!

LeBron James can't stand a little excitement.

Mainly, the whole atmosphere today is weird.

There were a lot more reporters than in the last game, and there were also a lot more scouts than in the last game. With such exposure, even he was envious.

If Woody still knows Outlaw, like Perkins, and knows his strengths and weaknesses, wouldn't it mean that he, the "main guy", deliberately gave up the stage to show Woody his talent tonight?

Thinking of this, LeBron James breathed heavily.

Because he looked at the way Outlaw greeted Woody, just like the way Perkins greeted Woody at that time. Although they were not that close, it was certainly not just a one-sided relationship.

no……

Where did these reporters come from?

LeBron James is sure his team didn't contact the media for him.

Only in some important regular seasons, such as the battle between him and Carmelo Anthony last season, or the knockout rounds and state finals, which are higher than the average high school league, his team will contact him with more media, create spotlights, and heighten the heat!
Feeling a bit impatient, he planned to ask Joyce to find out, but thinking that this guy couldn't even find out about Woody, he finally decided to ask Romeo to ask the media and scouts why they gathered together tonight.

Romeo felt more reliable than Joyce, and soon he brought back the answer that LeBron James wanted to know...

"Part of the media was attracted by that headline in the Ohio State Journal..."

After the last friendly match ended, the "Ohio State Newspaper" published an article titled "The "biggest dark horse" of this year's high school class?The "super rookies" who went from one dozen to five came from Huaxia. "

LeBron is aware of this report, and his team told him.

But as far as he knows, this report has caused a lot of ridicule in the industry. Many colleagues have ridiculed that "the reporter of the Ohio State News wants traffic but not face". It's just a friendly match.
When the regular season started, everyone started to fight with real knives and guns, and this kid showed his true colors, that would be too embarrassing!
No, don't wait for the regular season to start, maybe the next friendly match will "explode in situ". Basketball is not a "one game" game...

To prove it, they came to live coverage of St. Mary's second friendly.

"But that's a small part, most of the rest is because of Ben Wallace..."

"Ben Wallace?"

LeBron now knows that Woody participated in AND1's training camp in the summer. The mentor is Ben Wallace, and he and Perkins met in that training camp.

Ok……

It now appears that Outlaw should have been in that training camp at the time.

But he didn't understand, what did so many reporters have to do with Ben Wallace today?
"Yesterday the Pistons held a media day..."

Before the start of the new NBA season, each team will hold a media open day to showcase the team's new lineup. The Pistons' media open day was just yesterday.

"Ben Wallace called him the most anticipated dark horse in high school basketball in the new season..."

Romeo's simple sentence, LeBron James immediately understood.

No wonder there are so many reporters here tonight.

Based on Ben Wallace's status in the NBA, he made this evaluation, only so many reporters and scouts came, which is actually not enough.

After figuring out why so many media were present, LeBron James' expression didn't improve, but became even uglier... He had already begun to feel that Joyce had a bad idea.

Joyce was also dazed beside him.

He also didn't expect that such a match would result in such a big battle!

"It's okay, LeBron, trust our brothers, absolutely..." He hurriedly made a gesture of reassurance towards LeBron James.

For some reason, LeBron became even more restless.

Ben Wallace said I was the biggest "dark horse" in high school basketball this season?
At the same time, Woody, who was being interviewed, also learned from the reporter what Ben Wallace had said about him at the Pistons media open day.

He was also surprised by the magnitude of the media tonight. After knowing this, he was not surprised immediately.

But he really didn't expect that Ben Wallace would suddenly put such a wave of pressure on him...

Of course, this is because Woody is young. As far as the pissing nature of these reporters is concerned, if the gimmick is not made bigger, these people will really not pay attention!

Ben Wallace said that now, Woody will definitely be under pressure, but there will definitely be no lack of exposure.

As for the resulting stress...

Ben Wallace thought about Woody's astonishment in the training camp, and immediately felt that this little pressure was really nothing to Woody!

He still knows his "apprentice" very well. When Woody entered the arena today, he saw reporters on the sidelines and the "star disease" that became more serious immediately. At that time, he yelled in his heart:

Mine, mine, all mine!

Compared to him, Stephen Curry was visibly nervous and started rubbing his hands habitually again.

He was really unlucky, he didn't get playing time in the last game, and finally got his first chance to start this game, but he ran into such a big media battle.

Woody patted him on the shoulder and leaned over to encourage him in his ear: "Dude, play this game well and your dad can see you on TV!"

With just this sentence, Stephen Curry's tension disappeared immediately, and it was all transformed into a steady stream of motivation.

His biggest goal now is to let Dell Curry see his growth and see that he can also walk out of his own path.

Today is such an opportunity!

Drew also noticed that the number of media tonight was a bit exaggerated. Before the game, he specially called Woody and Stephen Curry to let them focus on the game and play: "Just pretend that these people don't exist, this is just a team training game!"

This statement worked for Stephen Curry, but it was complained by Woody:

How can this be regarded as non-existent?

This is the beginning of becoming famous!

Hey~
This damn "star disease"!
Before the game, there is usually a cheerleading dance.

Same as last time, still hot and blatant, full of restless youth.The difference is that this time when the group of female cheerleaders left the field, each of them glanced at Woody with ecstatic little eyes.

How about an American woman!
At such a young age, there are already beakers one after another!

After the opening dance, the competition officially begins.

It was Travis Outlaw who jumped the ball with Woody.

But even if he is a "thin bamboo pole", he has full agility at first glance, in the face of Woody's NBA-level physical fitness, he can only bow down and watch Woody hit the ball first.

Stephen Curry gets the ball in the backcourt.

The big screen at the scene also gave him a close-up.

Many female students in the auditorium immediately showed a "cute" expression, and said "wow" involuntarily.

It's not to blame for their reaction, it's because Stephen Curry looks too tender!
If Woody's handsome figure is full of hormones, they will continue to secrete them.Then Stephen Curry undoubtedly aroused their strong "maternal love".

As for those male students, the first reaction is:
How old is this kid?

It can't be that he hasn't graduated from elementary school yet!
　Good morning brothers, today's first update.
