006: Genius and scumbag(2/2)
He really didn't expect that the old oak tree would help him make suggestions.
Li Ang is just one of the many students in his training camp, and he is probably the poorest one.
Oakley: It doesn’t matter if you are poor, the key is that you can fight! I will be happy when I think about you beating that flying pig~
Oakley has this kind of character. As long as someone he thinks has potential, he doesn't want to be buried.
This was the case with Da Ben back then, and it is also the case with Li Ang now.
If it weren't for Oakley, Ben might still be giving haircuts at some hair salon.
Unexpectedly? Apart from playing basketball, my best thing is haircutting.
njcaa sounds very low-level, but in fact, Li Ang really knows a few stars who came from njcaa.
The first person to bear the brunt is Jimmy Butler. This guy has an inexplicable relationship with the old gangster. He played from NJCAA to NCAA Division I, and then entered NBA to become a star.
Jae Crowder also had the same mental journey. After winning the NJCAA championship, he entered Marquette University and then successfully gained a foothold in the NBA.
In addition, Teacher Tony, whom Li Ang is familiar with, is also from NJCAA.
It was also mentioned in Lao Ge's book "The Insider" that Tony was known as the No. 1 junior college player in the United States at that time.
In short, the probability of entering the NBA from NJCAA is indeed much higher than the probability of entering the NBA from the second-level league.
"You think about it and discuss it with your family. If you think it's good, I can arrange a school for you right away.
But remember, kid. There are all kinds of kids in NJCAA. There are probably three reasons why people go to junior college. First, they are poor academically. Second, they are poor in sports. Third, they are bad kids.
Do you understand what I mean?
You have to keep your mission and purpose in mind at all times, and don't learn from it.
Okay, that’s all I’ll tell you. Go take a rest, we have to train in the afternoon.”
Li Ang nodded and left the locker room. He knew that he had reached a crossroads in his life.
This choice is extremely important to him.
At this time, far away in Maryland, a middle-aged man looked at a report card handed over by his assistant and sighed.
"So, he failed the exam again?"
"Yes, it's just a little bit off, but still not up to par."
"Hey, the best, the best scumbag." The middle-aged man sighed.
Why are the results of talented players so poor these days?
Genius players like Duncan who are both good at character and academic and can chat with an admiral about quantum mechanics are becoming increasingly rare.
It's been a year, he's been waiting for this guy for a whole year.
Do you know how he spent this year?
And failing the grade means...
He has to wait another year!
"Oh, that's fucked up!" The middle-aged man slammed the table angrily and smashed the report card on the table.
This person is Gary Williams, the head coach of the University of Maryland Terrapins.
He took office in 1989 and started producing results in 1994.
Since 1994, the team has led the team to the March Madness Championship for three consecutive years, but the team has been unable to make any further progress in the championship.
The reason is that the players are simply not strong enough.
The division where the University of Maryland is located has well-known basketball schools such as Duke and North Carolina.
Talented players have all been attracted to them, and it is really difficult for Maryland to achieve anything with these two powerful players.
So, Gary Williams decided to strike first and nip the genius in the cradle... Well, no, he held the genius tightly in his hands before they even went to college.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Don’t tell me, such a genius has really appeared.
So Gary asked the guy to attend the University of Maryland's preparatory school, play on the University of Maryland's reserve team, and did his best to train him.
As a result, guess what? This genius didn’t even get into college!
Williams had a voice in his heart at that time - hold the sun!
I've reserved the scholarship for you, but you tell me you can't pass the exam?
There was no other way, Gary could only send him to NJCAA to play for one year.
In the first year of njcaa, the performance of that genius really lived up to expectations, and he was a complete killer.
His team lost one game in one season!
With his strength, he will have no problem playing in NCAA Division I games.
Just when everyone was looking forward to him entering the NCAA, he failed to pass the exam this year...
Facts have proved that studying really depends on talent. That guy probably focused all his talent on basketball.
"It doesn't matter, it's good to let him play for another year. He had an impressive record of 36 wins and 1 loss at San Jacinto Junior College last season. If he works hard for another year, maybe he can be greatly improved.
When that happens, what you get will be a complete version of him.”
Gary's assistant comforted him.
Gary nodded, he had no other choice but to wait.
Who makes him a genius?
Known as the "self-disciplined version of Allen Iverson", there's no harm in waiting for him for another year.
Of course, next season, I must tell that guy to study hard.
Knowledge changes destiny, genius!
Gary has begun to look forward to next season, but at this time, he would never have imagined that next season's NJCAA would be unexpectedly exciting... I would like to add one, but I don't know how to invite you.
Chapter completed!
