003: Aim for the starter(1/2)

Tony Allen is definitely not a superstar in NBA history. In fact, in Wayne's previous life, Tony Allen was never selected to the All-Star team even once until he retired.

His statistics in the NBA were mediocre, and he only averaged double digits in points per game once in his entire career.

But such a seemingly ordinary guy is actually a ruthless character that almost all basketball fans know. His statistics are seriously inconsistent with his reputation.

He is such a role player who has not even been selected for the All-Star team. The Grizzlies are even willing to retire his jersey.

Tony Allen does not have the statistics and honors of a star player, but he has a reputation that is not inferior to that of a star player.

Therefore, Wayne was still very excited when he saw Tony Allen.

Although he was a senior basketball fan in his previous life, Wayne did not have the financial means to watch NBA games live, and he had never seen a real NBA star.

Now, a future NBA quasi-star player appeared in front of him, and Wayne's mood suddenly became excited, and his face went from confused to bright-eyed in an instant.

"Is this...a real NBA player? And, shorter than me?" Wayne said, standing up and touching Tony Allen's arm.

This steely touch, this strong figure...yes, yes, it's really him!

"Wayne, why are you acting weird..." Tony Allen felt that the air around him seemed to have become ambiguous, so he quickly threw away Wayne's arm.

Gay is angry, what's going on?

Tony Allen doesn't know yet that he will meet a teammate with a gay name in the future.

"It's great to see you, Tony." After trying to control his emotions, Wayne smiled and sat back on the hospital bed.

A new memory told Wayne that he and Tony Allen were not only teammates in college, but also very good friends.

Tony Allen is now a senior player. He will participate in the draft next summer and is logically Wayne's senior.

But in fact, both of them are new players who just joined the team last season.

Tony Allen studied and played basketball in a junior college for the first two years. Later, he came to Oklahoma State University through the "junior college to bachelor's degree" program and became teammates with Wayne.

It is worth mentioning that Tony Allen majored in education in college. Therefore, he is really a veritable teacher Tony...

Since both were new to the team, Tony Allen and Wayne got along quickly and have always had a good relationship.

As a good friend of Wayne, Tony Allen rushed to the hospital as soon as he received the news on the training field today.

I have to say that Tony Allen really values ​​his friends. It is not without reason that he will be able to establish deep friendships with most of his teammates in the NBA.

"Are you okay? How could something like this happen? Did the other party drive drunk?" Seeing that Wayne finally returned to normal, Tony Allen began to ask about the situation with concern.

"No, he sent me to the hospital soon after he knocked me down. He didn't look like he was drunk, and he didn't smell of alcohol."

Well, the bearded man doesn't smell of alcohol, but there is a smell that is more pungent than the smell of alcohol...

"Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere now?"

"I just have a headache. I've just had a checkup, and the results should be out soon." Wayne looked at his body. He was moving freely now, and there was no sign of a fracture.

The next step is to wait and see if there are any problems with the brain CT scan.

"Huh... It's okay, Wayne. The new season is about to start. If you can't participate in training because of this, it will be troublesome. This season, you have to fight for the starting position.

Yes, we are going to kill everyone in March Madness together!"

When Tony Allen said this, his eyes were full of longing.

After all, as a senior player, this is his last chance to prove himself to the NBA.

Last season, the Oklahoma State University Cowboys team of Wayne and Tony Allen already reached the March Madness championship.

It's just a pity that we were eliminated in the first round.

This year, after Tony Allen and others have become more mature, the team's goal is to reach the Sweet Sixteen of the tournament!

Although the Oklahoma State University Cowboys are not as famous as North Carolina, Duke and other top NCAA traditional powers, the last time the team won the NCAA championship was in 1946!

However, the Cowboys, who have participated in the March Madness tournament many times, are still a traditional powerhouse, so they still have certain requirements for performance.

However, Wayne is not too concerned about whether the team can achieve its goals next season.

Tony Allen is right. Right now, the most important thing for him is to break into the starting lineup.

If you can't become a star in the NCAA, then don't talk about the NBA.

In the future, Mario Chalmers, the tool point guard next to James, was only selected in the second round and his NBA resume is mediocre.

But he was the Final Four MOP winner in college, and it was he who led his team to overthrow the University of Memphis, led by No. 1 pick Rose, in the finals.

Therefore, if you want to enter the field of vision of NBA scouts, you must at least be a college star.

The first step to becoming a star is to break into the starting lineup.

It's September now, and the regular seasons of various NCAA leagues start in November.

This means that Wayne now has two months to figure out the specific method of obtaining growth points and improve his strength.

Two months is still a bit tight. He must find the fastest way to gain growth points before he can make a splash in the new season.

"That's right. We have to seize the time to train in the past two months, Tony. In addition to the team's regular training, it is best for us to do some additional training in private. If we can lead the team to the Sweet Sixteen, the NBA

The scouts will definitely be impressed by you."

Wayne nodded in agreement.

Of course, his real purpose is to attract a quasi-NBA level player to train with him, which will definitely help to some extent.

As for the Sweet Sixteen, NBA scouts and so on...well, in Chinese, those are called "paintings."

But Tony Allen doesn't think so.

Seeing that Wayne was so motivated and even offered to practice more, Tony Allen looked full of admiration.

"You can't get out of the line of fire even if you are slightly injured. Wayne is indeed a tough guy!" Teacher Tony said in his heart.

He still doesn't know that he has become Wayne's tool without knowing it...

While the two were chatting, the bearded Diaz walked into the ward with a pile of Wayne's examination reports.

As soon as Diaz walked in, Wayne smelled a strong and pungent smell.

The guy hasn't had time to change his pants yet!

"Thank God, the doctor said you only suffered some superficial injuries. Your body bones are really strong. If everything goes well, you can be discharged from the hospital after being observed in the afternoon."

Diaz was ecstatic and looked even happier than Wayne.

Keeping big issues down is the best outcome for both parties.

After receiving the test results, Wayne also breathed a sigh of relief. This way, training time would not be delayed.

"Be careful when driving in the future, uncle. You are lucky this time. Also, your pants..." Wayne pointed at Diaz's pants, and Diaz then remembered that he had just been scared.

The urine thing.

"Uh...I'm really sorry, kid. Let's do this. If you write down my phone number, and you eat at my restaurant in the future, I'll give you a 50% discount! It's compensation."

Seeing how enthusiastic the bearded man was, Wayne was about to take out his cell phone and write down Diaz's phone number.

As soon as he took out his mobile phone, Wayne realized that he was holding a brick-shaped Nokia...

I almost forgot, this is 2003.

"Hey, I'm going to buy a new pair of pants first. In the afternoon, a nurse will take you to go through the discharge procedures."

After exchanging numbers, Diaz left the ward with a smile.

"Are you sure that guy didn't drink..." Tony Allen was speechless. Would a normal person forget to wet his pants?

"Okay, leave him alone. I will return to the team for training tomorrow. Time is tight." Wayne waved his hand. He couldn't wait to explore how to obtain growth points.

The road to becoming a star starts now.

After being discharged from the hospital smoothly in the afternoon, Wayne and Tony Allen went back to school directly.

Oklahoma State University is located in Stillwater, Oklahoma.

Stillwater is not a big city, because almost the entire town is a college town designed to support Oklahoma State University.

Therefore, high-rise buildings and the like are no longer visible.

And the biggest feature of Oklahoma is that you can hardly find a hill, it's all flat.

There are no high-rise buildings and no mountains. Standing on the street, you can't see the end at a glance, as if you are in a desert.

In addition, Jingshui City itself is sparsely populated and is full of large lawns and open spaces, giving people a very desolate feeling.

In the past, I always saw how prosperous the United States is on TV, and it turns out that it is all an illusion created by the evil capitalism.

This place is not as lively as the small second-tier city where Wayne lived in his previous life.

There was nothing around, and Wayne, who was "going abroad" for the first time, had no interest in walking around at all.

After returning to the dormitory and resting for a while, at night, he walked to the basketball court downstairs of the dormitory holding a basketball.

He is going to train tomorrow, and Wayne wants to get used to the feeling of playing basketball with this new body in advance.

Moreover, in this era where the Internet is underdeveloped and mobile phones are like bricks, Wayne really has nothing else to do except play basketball.

As soon as he stepped onto the basketball court with a basketball in his arms, a prompt appeared on the system "Do you want to enter training mode?"
To be continued...
