Chapter 8 Isolation
"This kid is cruel enough!" Emperor Wu's fierce block this time completely changed Gibson's impression of him. This seemingly gentle guy had a sense of ruthlessness in his body.
DeRozan fell to the ground in a mess, and Emperor Wu directly pressed him out of the air, just like slapping a fly, which was the most humiliating way to cover him.
Red team center Mohammed grabbed the basketball, and Wu Huang ran to the frontcourt first and reached out to ask for the ball.
Mohamud threw the basketball at Emperor Wu, and the Red Team made another quick counterattack!
Wu Huang received the ball and went to the frontcourt. Only Mugajin followed him, but Wu Huang was firmly blocked by his body and could not break the basketball.
Mugajin sighed secretly in his heart. Wu Huang's dribble was not good, but it was very practical and smart. He used his body to separate him until his final layup. If he forcibly blocked, it would definitely be a foul. Maybe he would be beaten into two plus one. Mugajin could only watch Wu Huang advance the basketball.
Wu Huang’s ball control skills are really good. Yesterday, what he improved was the ball sense, and the passing and control skills were still at the same level as before. However, the improvement of the ball sense made him more proficient in the use of his original skills. Only after his hard practice has truly seen the effect, his basic skills are so solid that it is unreasonable.
Before his sense of ball was improved, he might lose the ball if he was hit. But now even if Mugajin kept using his body to interfere with him, Wu Huang could still control the basketball steadily. This was the memory brought to his body by countless boring trainings, and it was a treasure buried in his body. He had not opened the key before, because the key he opened was the feeling of ball.
Floyd took Wu Huang's performance in his eyes. He had three years of NBA coaching experience, so he knew the most. Although Wu Huang's ball control is not fancy, it is this simple dribble that is truly practical. This kid's basic skills are very solid. It is impossible to do without boring training day after day. Only this technique can be used after entering the NBA.
This is Wu Huang's first score in this game. Then he focused on connecting the team and defense, and his performance was in sharp contrast to DeRozan on the opposite side.
DeRozan was slapped from the sky by Emperor Wu. This time the blood cap made his mentality completely unbalanced, and his disgust towards Emperor Wu quickly increased to an unparalleled level. In this training game, DeRozan always wanted to get back the block just now, and he turned into a lone wolf on the offensive end. He had to shoot when he got the blue ball, break through, and attack.
With such a mentality and such performance, it would be strange if DeRozan could perform well. His opponent is a college player with many battles and is no longer a high school student who is surrounded.
Wu Huang performed deliberately in this game, which was completely opposite to DeRozan. He deliberately suppressed his desire to shoot, rarely took action, and helped his teammates score with all his strength. In this way, DeRozan seemed even more mature than him.
Nathan Bowch is the happiest player of the Red Team. With the help of Wu Huang, he completely put DeRozan under his offensive end. The latter's uncalm mentality also allowed Nathan to interfere with DeRozan's shots on the defensive end, causing DeRozan to only hand in an embarrassing report card of 2 of 11 shots in the 15-minute training game in the first half.
This training match was only 15 minutes, and Floyd directly canceled the second half.
DeRozan's poor performance in the first half made him no longer want to watch it, and he also became suspicious of this first-grade genius. If DeRozan's training in the next half month does not meet his requirements, Floyd would not even plan to let the genius start directly, and exercise for a while before talking about it.
The contrast between the two first-year players today is very clear. In the 15-minute game, Wu Huang scored 8 points, 2 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, 1 block and 1 turnover. DeRozan only scored 6 points, 2 rebounds, 0 assists, 1 steal, 1 block and 4 turnovers.
Even if he doesn't look at the performance and only looks at the data, DeRozan is already several levels short of Emperor Wu. If he looks at the hit rate, Freud would feel a little reluctant to look at it.
Emperor Wu made 4 shots, one missed the middle distance, one layup, and two three-pointers, with extremely high efficiency.
DeRozan made 11 shots, hitting only one slam dunk and one layup, and only made 2 of 4 free throws, and all the other shots missed.
"Good job, the Trojans welcome you." After the training match, Gibson took the initiative to step forward and patted Wu Huang on the shoulder.
"Thank you, I will continue to work hard." Wu Huang was very happy. Gibson's attitude showed that he really accepted himself. This is very important. Gibson is the soul of the University of Southern California and the leader of the locker room. Even if he becomes the core of the team, he must listen to the captain on and off the court.
DeRozan is blushing and not talking alone. He has suffered more blows today than he has in his four years in high school.
Other players of the Trojans also came up to greet Wu Huang and praised his performance, but no one comforted DeRozan.
Gibson was relatively mature and found that DeRozan was standing alone and went up to comfort the black guy who performed poorly, which made DeRozan's face look better. However, after this training match, DeRozan no longer spoke to Emperor Wu on his own initiative, and his eyes looked at him were also unfriendly.
"It seems that I offended my new teammate." Wu Huang said helplessly next to Nathan Baoqi, the team's original main player No. 2 position.
"Don't care, this is the game." Nathan Bauch suppressed DeRozan in the training match and was in a good mood. He already regarded Emperor Wu as his brother.
"That's right, hugo your pass is great." Bart Leib, the only two white men in the Trojans, also gave Wu Huang a thumbs up.
Although Bart Bry was in the Blue Team before, seeing Nathan Bauch being fed 12 points by Emperor Wu in 15 minutes, I was looking forward to fighting side by side with such a teammate.
After Floyd gave the players a rest for a while, and then some things could be seen from the division of the crowd.
Six or seven teammates quickly surrounded him and talked to him. Most of these people were the team's starters and main rotation players. On the other hand, only Mugajin, who was destined to be snatched from Wu, stood with him. Isn't this equivalent to being isolated?
These players had no such thoughts on half of their bodies, but they were plotted by Emperor Wu to create a picture of DeRozan being isolated.
The worst thing is of course DeRozan. Under Wu Huang's calculations, he has left an impression of "selfishness" in the hearts of these players.
At this moment, most of the players in the team are willing to be teammates with players like Wu Huang, rather than DeRozan, who is selfish in the style of playing. Who told him to take action just now, but his shooting percentage is a mess. The players on the same team are very dissatisfied at this moment. These players are the main players of the original team.
"You can't blame me for this? I didn't let him take action wildly, nor did I let him make a fuss." Emperor Wu comforted himself mentally. This really had nothing to do with him. At most, he was just a little bit of a belligerent.
But no matter what, this training match was like a nightmare for DeRozan, and his future suddenly faded a lot.
The players took a break and Floyd took out the training plan that had been prepared and handed over to all the players.
The coaching staff of the Trojans are very familiar with the advantages and disadvantages of the old players. They should focus on what aspects of training them. They don’t need to be investigated slowly. Only Wu Huanghe’s DeRozan is the only one who needs to spend time researching.
The training environment of NCAA's prestigious schools is much higher than that of the domestic CBA system. Of course, this refers to the "famous schools" of NCAA, which is why everyone yearns for these prestigious schools. Famous schools such as North Carolina, Duke, and UCLA have professional equipment and coaching teams that are not inferior to NBA teams, and can train players in the most advanced way.
Players of this age should pay attention to long-term training and are not suitable for high-intensity training.
The coaching staff will tailor each person's training volume based on the physical fitness of the players. Of course, not all players have this treatment, otherwise the trainers and coaching staff will not be busy. Only the team's main players and important rotation players can be treated like this.
If it is a special talented player like Wu Huang and DeRozan, the University of Southern California has specially purchased sky-high insurance for the two. According to this insurance content, if Wu Huang was injured during training or in the game and was seriously injured and could no longer perform a sports career, Wu Huang would receive a sky-high compensation of about five million US dollars.
There are not many scholarships mobilized by the University of Great Britain. This is to avoid vicious competition among universities in terms of enrollment. The NCAA stipulates that the standards for athlete scholarships are unified, which curbs the advantages of universities with financial strength in enrollment.
Since there are not many full scholarships, this kind of "insurance" is a reassurance for American universities to give athletes. If schools want to recruit talented students, this type of insurance is a must-have treatment, including football, baseball and other sports. Otherwise, there will be no income for the mobilization of the big ** and there will be not many scholarships. If you retire due to serious injury during the game, wouldn’t you have no guarantee of life in the second half of your life? Therefore, these universities will purchase high insurance for players. The more genius the player is, the greater the compensation.
Secondly, although the NCAA's training plan is not as strong as the NBA, it is much stronger than in high school. Players' bodies need to supplement their nutrition. The University of Southern California will buy expensive nutritional supplements for players to take for free.
These nutritional products are not cheap goods such as Amway, and they cost a lot of money in a season, so, as the saying goes, only a few people can enjoy this kind of treatment.
In terms of training, any sport training is boring. The training of NCAA players is more focused on the basic skills. The coaching team will arrange one or two technical and strength training based on each player's talent.
Generally speaking, strength, speed, and explosive training are events that every player has to perform. The difference is that each person's training volume is different.
Wu Huang should focus on shooting and ball control training at this stage. The first one is the offensive skills he relies on to survive and needs to be strengthened. The second one is the ability he must have as the main point guard in the NCAA, especially to improve his ability to dribble with weak hands and ball-holding breakthroughs.
In addition to these two things, Floyd will strengthen his ball-holding and passing training depending on the situation, both of which are the abilities he should have in his position.
