The Point Guard is Here

: Fifty-four: [Rick Pitino]

"...Allen Iverson was tried for participating in the bowling fight that took place in March this year. This morning, the star guard Allen Iverson of Bayzer High School in Virginia was found guilty of participating in a gang fight. The court sentenced Iverson to accept 5 Years of imprisonment..."

   The voice on the TV made Fan Xi tremble. He never dreamed that Iverson would be sentenced to a heavy sentence for participating in a gang fight. It was originally 15 years in prison, of which 10 years were suspended for execution and 5 years in prison.

   "This is definitely an unjust case. There are only three of them. Have you ever seen a three-person gang?"

   Fan Xi's emotions got out of control, and his voice became rush and agitated like never before.

"I would rather believe that Iverson will beat a gang member, never believe that he will attack an unarmed white girl. His family is made up of women, his grandma, mother, two younger sisters... are all he respects most. People. How could he be a killer to women!"

   Fan Xi felt extremely absurd and unreality.

   Then, he said, "I have to go back, I have to go back to Virginia."

Stephen Marbury stopped, and he forced him onto the bed, staring at his eyes fiercely: "What are you going crazy? Jack. What can you do when you go back? The judge will listen to you as a hairy kid. Suggestions? Can you do things that lawyers can't do?"

   Marbury is very angry. He felt that Fan Xi had lost his former wisdom.

"You should play the next game now, when the media run to interview you. You can help Iverson. Believe me, what a sensational basketball genius in the United States said in New York is definitely better than what you said in a Virginia court. The roar at the door is more useful."

   Marbury shouted at Fan Xi.

   Fan Xi gradually calmed down.

   Under Marbury's face-to-face suppression, his IQ began to return to the high ground.

really. It's useless to return to Virginia at this time. Any member of Bayzer High School can do what he did when he returned to Virginia.

   "Okay, you can let go of my hands, you hurt me."

   Fan Xi said to Marbury.

   Marbury just let go.

   Fan Xi got up from the bed and walked out.

   Marbury hurriedly asked: "Do you still want to leave?"

   "I have to call Virginia."

   Fan Xi replied.

   Marbury breathed a sigh of relief.

  Chauncey Billups stood by and watched the whole process quietly, and then he said a classic saying: "Could you two be..."

"no!"

   Marbury firmly denied: "I like women, and he likes women too."

   Chauncey Billups said ‘oh’, and then said, "Then he must be your best friend."

   The proud Marbury thought for a while, it was true. There was an inexplicable mumble in his mouth: But I am definitely not his best friend.

   Billups has pointed ears.

   He heard the content and tone clearly, but he still felt weird. Moreover, he thought he shouldn't be with Fan Xi often in the future. It was obviously a friendship of three people, but he felt that he was light-hearted.

   Fan Xi made three calls. He called Iverson’s grandmother, the head coach of Beze High School, and Uncle Van Le.

He comforted Grandma Iverson, and then chatted with Uncle Sam for a while. Uncle Sam told him that the black community in Virginia took to the streets angrily. They were rebelling against the court's sentence and hoped that the governor would use his right to amnesty. Iverson.

   Fan Xi told Uncle Sam that if he had the opportunity to face the media, he would definitely defend Iverson on TV.

  Uncle Fanle didn't answer the phone. Fan Xi was a little strange. At eight o'clock in the evening, he would watch the TV’s beautiful legs at home. Why is it missing today?

  ...

   The next morning.

   Kentucky Wildcats coach Rick Pitino appeared in the arena and chatted with Fan Xi for a while.

   Rick Pitino is a very proud, but also very frank person.

  He is a typical academic coach, and a white marshal who became famous very early. His resume is very rich, not only has a series of NCAA records, but also had a good record in the New York Knicks. He led the New York Knicks to gradually revive...but now it seems that Pat Riley has picked the peach.

   And when he arrived at the Kentucky Wildcats, he immediately made drastic reforms.

   He is the head coach who attaches the most importance to "three-pointers" in basketball today. (In the 1980s and 1990s, neither NCAA nor NBA paid much attention to three-pointers tactically. People still believed in the ‘truth’ that the closer you are to the basket, the more dangerous it is.)

   In fact, Pitino has been widely recognized in the past two years because he was the first coach to fully utilize the NCAA's 1987 three-pointer rule. The University of Kentucky where he coaches is known as Pitino's Bombinos, and a large part of its offense comes from three-pointers.

   Fan Xi made up some video of the Kentucky Wildcats game last night. He already has a preliminary understanding of the Wildcats.

   He thinks that joining Kentucky may be the best choice. Because the University of Kentucky does not have a point guard in the true sense.

   Their starting point guard Tony Delk is essentially a shooter.

After halftime, the basketball will be handed over to the team leader Jamal Mashben. Marsh is a brilliant classic small forward. He is proficient in all offensive methods, from the front three threats to the back singles. What you can't do, everything is fine. However, his passing ability did not reach the level of top forward swingers, he relied more on attracting double-teamed shots.

   Pass to Tony Delk from beyond the three-point line and power forward Walter McCarty in the corner.

   or shooting guard Mike Jason for a second single.

   Fan Xi thinks this is a waste of resources. If he joins in and helps Jamal Mash to connect other players more perfectly, the Kentucky Wildcats will definitely be stronger.

   This is a complementary fit of resources.

   "I'm sorry I danced with the people at Duke University yesterday because of my anger." Rick Pitino apologized to Van Hee very seriously.

   "But, in my heart, you are definitely not the worst point guard in this training camp. Actually, I admire you very much."

   Rick Pitino said this to Fan Xi as a well-known NCAA head coach, proving that he is not a person with a higher eye.

   Fan Xi also told him seriously: "I will not let you down. I have the ability and confidence to help you beat Duke, and I beat Duke easily."

   Fanci looked directly at Rick Pitino. He was very sincere and confident.

   Pitino was even a little lost. He didn't expect the yellow-skinned guard in front of him to stare directly at him so calmly and say such affirmative words.

   To be honest, he didn't plan to place much hope on Fan Xi at the beginning. He came over, but didn't want to hurt a teenager's heart, and didn't want this teenager's basketball dream to be broken because of the argument between himself and Duke's assistant coach. After all, he was already on TV.

   But what he didn't expect was that the young man's heart was so strong. Moreover, why is he so confident when he looks ordinary?

   He remembered the previous call with Chuck Daly, when he asked Daly whether the news reported on TV would have a psychological impact on the child.

   "No. You can't influence him." Daly's answer was calm, just like when Fan Xi looked directly into his eyes.

   So, what magic power does this kid have?

night.

   Three hours before the start of the fifth Eastern Conference final between the New York Knicks and the Chicago Bulls, the four teams selected 10 talented players from the training camp.

   The University of Michigan chose Stephen Marbury without hesitation.

   Then the University of North Carolina hesitated again and again. They decided to choose Anthony Johnson, who is strong and ranked first in terms of physical fitness... This is very in line with the tone of North Carolina: North Carolina has always been known for cultivating ‘talented players’.

   Duke University saw that Chauncey Billups had not been selected by the top two, and he was overjoyed and extremely happy, so he quickly picked it off.

  The ability of Billups is what they desperately need. After Bob Hurley left, they have been looking for new answers.

   The University of Kentucky obeyed the agreement and they picked Fan Xi.

   Then, the University of Michigan transferred Randy Livingston. The University of North Carolina picked Mike Carter. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Duke continued to select Ryan Howard, while Kentucky won Cook Williams with an excellent three-pointer.

   The remaining Alstom and George Green were selected by Michigan and North Carolina respectively.

   "I don't think we will have a lot of playing time tomorrow afternoon." Alstom sat in Fan Xi's room and said worriedly: "They should be playing themselves."

   He is the penultimate player to be selected, and his concern is very necessary.

   But Marbury doesn't worry about his playing time in Michigan at all. This kid always has the tune of ‘I’m born to be useful’. He even regards himself as the savior of the University of Michigan.

   "It's like Jordan." Marbury said, pointing to the TV.

   They sat together to watch the Eastern Conference finals tonight, and Chauncey Billups.

   Billups unknowingly mixed into Fan Xi’s circle of friends, and did not attract Marbury’s attention.

   Tonight, Michael Jordan appeared at the point guard position, he took the initiative to stand in front of Dou Grievous.

   This scene made the hotel room exclaimed.

   Billups clapped his hands: "Hey, Jack. Michael Jordan really followed your advice. He actually played a point guard."

"The last time he played point guard was in 1989. At that time, in order to prove that he could easily win a triple-double like Magic Johnson, he played a total of 11 point guard games and won 10 triple-doubles, of which 7 There were triple-doubles in a row, but the record was only 5 wins and 6 losses, so he stopped playing."

   Billups is the data controller among his friends, he has a lot of ‘cold knowledge’.

   And the data he listed made Fan Xi couldn't help but admire: Michael Jordan is indeed Michael Jordan.
