Although he knew that training alone was not the most efficient way, but mosquito meat was also meat, that night, Wayne returned to the dormitory with 90 growth points satisfied.

Of course, Wayne didn't get the points by repeating the mid-range shooting training 9 times.

If he relies on mid-range shooting training, it means that Wayne has to shoot at least 1,350 times a night to get 90 growth points. This is still the most ideal situation.

In actual practice, you will definitely not be able to win even 1,500 shots.

For Wayne, who is in his current physical condition, shooting more than 1,500 shots in one night can exhaust him to death.

However, in fact, Wayne only took less than 700 shots tonight to get 90 growth points.

Because after the first mid-range shooting practice, Wayne tried another three-point shooting practice.

What surprised Wayne was that the growth points gained from completing a round of three-point shooting training were actually as high as 40!

Although the shooting rate of three-point shots is definitely not as good as that of mid-range shots, Wayne took about 220 shots to reach the requirement of hitting 100 goals.

But after completing a round of training, the points earned are four times that of mid-range shooting!

This is simply a huge profit!

After tasting the sweetness, Wayne later tried another three-point training, and finally returned to the dormitory with 90 growth points.

As a big player who is 2.11 meters tall, it seems a little strange to practice three-pointers all the time.

What's more, this was still 2003, and shooting from the outside by big men was not yet mainstream, and even somewhat unpopular.

But... there are so many growth points to get, who cares!

When Wayne returned to the dormitory exhausted, his roommate had not returned.

The dormitories at Oklahoma State University, like those at most other American schools, are double rooms, so Wayne naturally has only one roommate.

Wayne's roommate is a rough-looking white boy named Cody Brandt.

Because he was good-looking and his family had a little money, not many girls in school could resist his temptation.

Cody himself is also a "player", partying one after another, often staying up all night for three days.

In two weeks at most, Wayne will find that the female companion next to him has changed again, and she is an out-and-out prodigal.

Of course, this guy was very nice to Wayne and did not display the arrogance of most white people because Wayne was an international student.

In addition, Wayne is on the basketball team. Although he is only a substitute, Cody still admires Wayne very much.

Cody is one of Wayne's few friends in school besides Teacher Tony.

Seeing that Cody hadn't come back after ordering this, Wayne shook his head. He probably wouldn't be able to come back all night long.

He might be sleeping next to a newly admitted freshman girl right now...

"Asshole, you are really not a thing. Envy? I am not envious. I have lofty ideals and want to play in the NBA. Why would I envy him..."

Thinking of this, Wayne cursed secretly, the world is really in decline!

But that's fine. If Cody doesn't come back, Wayne can rest undisturbed tonight and prepare for the formal training the next day.

Lying on the bed, looking at the white ceiling, Wayne began to think about ways to obtain growth points.

One round of mid-range shooting training only adds 10 points, while one round of three-point training can add 40 points...

Does it mean that the more difficult the shot is, the more points will be added?

Before Wayne could figure it out, he fell into sleep exhaustedly.

In the dream, he stood on the NBA court and competed with the familiar stars to compete for honors.

Kicking the golden generation of 96 and punching the still immature Four Heroes, his life will become very different.

But as soon as I opened my eyes, the reality that hit me was-how to capture the heart of the team coach first and become the starter?

The road has to be walked step by step.

※※※

The next day was the weekend and there were no classes, but Wayne still got up early and couldn't wait to go to the Oklahoma State University Cowboys' training facility.

Needless to say, the hardware facilities of American college basketball are indeed luxurious.

Gallagher-Alba Arena, home of the Cowboys, is named after the school's famous wrestling coach Ed Gallagher and legendary basketball coach Henry Alba, and has nearly 14,000 seats.

When the arena was built in 1938, its cost broke the national record at the time.

In 2000, the school spent US$55 million on a comprehensive upgrade of the arena.

It can be said that there is no difference between this arena and the arenas used for NBA games that Wayne saw on TV in his previous life.

Looking at the dark pile of seats around him, Wayne swallowed.

What does it feel like to play in front of nearly 14,000 people?

The cheers alone can probably knock people over.

In his previous life, he was playing ball ball at school, and Wayne was extremely nervous when there were two more girls sitting on the sidelines.

Just when Wayne was sighing at the luxury of this arena, the sound of footsteps broke the silence.

"Wei, shouldn't you be resting in the dormitory now?"

When he heard someone calling him, Wayne quickly turned his head.

I saw an old man with a sallow complexion, gray hair and a serious expression walking towards me.

The old man looks to be in his 60s, but he is energetic and has a strong aura.

"Good morning, coach." Wayne greeted the old man.

Past memories told him that this old man was the head coach of the Oklahoma State University Cowboys, Eddie Sutton!

Eddie Sutton?

Wayne vaguely felt that he had heard this name in his previous life.

"Didn't I text you last night to tell you to rest for a week before reporting again? You still have a bandage on your head, kid." Sutton walked up to Wayne and looked at Wayne's head with concern.

Wound.

In fact, Sutton is planning to take the whole team to visit Wayne after training this afternoon.

Unexpectedly, Wayne showed up on his own.

"Text message?" Wayne took out his Nokia phone and took a look. Sure enough, there was an unread text message.

But Wayne slept too hard last night and didn't see it.

"Oh, the doctor said I just suffered some skin trauma, nothing serious. So I'm here. The new season is about to start, and I don't have an extra week to waste, coach."

Wayne didn't say he didn't see the text message, but changed his story.

What coach doesn't like active players? Wayne thought this was another way to impress Sutton.

Generally speaking, coaches in college basketball have much greater power than coaches in the NBA.

In most NBA teams, the team bosses are players. Sometimes, the coach even has to curry favor with the players.

But in the NCAA, the authority of the head coach cannot be challenged. No matter how talented you are in high school, you have to listen to the head coach in college.

Whether Wayne can start or not is only a matter of Sutton's words. So there is absolutely no harm in leaving a good impression on him.

"You are quite motivated, boy, but after a holiday, you are still so thin... It seems that I need to arrange some strength training for you this season."

"No problem, I will work hard!" Wayne is indeed very motivated, because he needs growth points!

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Sutton walked into his office, while Wayne continued to shoot baskets.

Gradually, there were more and more people in the training hall. Wayne also discovered that in addition to Tony Allen, there are two figures on this Cowboys team who will appear in the NBA in the future.

The first is John Lucas III, the team's main point guard. In Wayne's previous life, Lucas was briefly teammates with Yao Ming on the Mosaic team, so Wayne knew this little-known guy.

Another one is small forward Joey Graham, who just transferred from the University of Florida this year.

Graham, like John Lucas III, has not achieved any dazzling results in the NBA.

But because he was called the "poor man's version of James" by the media during the draft, Wayne still has some memories of Graham.

Both of these guys are insignificant figures in the history of the NBA, but Wayne knows very well that anyone who can play in the NBA, even if he is just a water cooler keeper, is a killer in the NCAA!

It seems that the Cowboys are indeed quite strong this year.

Fortunately, these two guys are not insiders. Otherwise, it would be much more difficult for Wayne to break into the starting lineup.

In fact, due to the graduation and departure of the team's starting power forward last season, the Cowboys' starting fourth position is still vacant for the time being.

Therefore, as long as Wayne can find a way to quickly gain growth points, he still has a great chance of being able to get into the starting position.

"You came really early today, Wayne, how are you feeling?" The first thing Tony Allen did after arriving at the training facility was to go up and ask about Wayne's physical condition. After all, he was a man who was hit by a car yesterday.

The guy in the hospital...

Although Wayne is Chinese, most teammates still call him by his full name instead of his surname.

Because the pronunciation of Wayne's name is similar to the English name Wayne, yes, it is very similar to the name of the wealthy man in Gotham City.

Over time, everyone became accustomed to calling him Wayne directly.

"Much better, by the way, Tony, before training starts... let's play one-on-one!"

"Ah!?" Seeing Wayne suddenly make such a request, Tony Allen was a little unexpected.

Wayne was not like this in the past. As a power forward, he had never been interested in fighting in a one-on-one fight.

In fact, Wayne is not interested in bullfighting now. He just wants to try to see if there will be more growth points than before when there is an opponent.

Moreover, Tony Allen now basically has quasi-NBA level strength. According to the system prompts, a one-on-one duel with this intensity and level will definitely give you a lot of growth points!

"Come on, only by summing up experience in actual combat can we make progress. Let's do it, Tony."

Seeing Wayne's enthusiasm, Tony Allen smiled and shook his head. He had obviously felt Wayne's enthusiasm.

"I really can't do anything about you, but I promised Wayne that I won't let him go." Tony Allen said, picked up the basketball, and shot it casually, and the basketball jumped into the net.

You may not believe it, but Tony Allen, who can't attack in the NBA, was the Cowboys' scoring leader last season.

Although Wayne is much taller than Tony Allen, Tony Allen is not weak at all.

Don't forget, in Wayne's previous life, Tony Allen also made it difficult for Durant, who was much taller than him. He was never afraid of opponents who were taller than him.

"Then let's play 21 points. The score inside the three-point line counts as 1 point, and the score outside the three-point line counts as 2 points. If you don't grab rebounds, if you miss the shot, the ball will automatically belong to the opponent. Let's get started!" Wayne can't wait!

He stood in front of Tony Allen and prepared to start the game.

At this time, the system really responded.

"Game intensity: quasi-NBA level. Opponent's comprehensive ability: strong. Opponent's defensive ability: quasi-NBA level."

"When an increase in competition intensity is detected, all growth points obtained during the competition will have additional difficulty bonuses."

Looking at the prompt in front of him, Wayne swallowed.
Chapter completed!
