I’m Really Playing Basketball

Chapter 19: Tom Klien's shock

   On April 18, 2001, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening Eastern Time, and Marquette University head coach Tom Crean was still in his office.

   As May approaches, the reporting time for freshmen is over, the new semester is about to begin, and the other veterans of the team are about to return, Tom Krien feels that he is getting busier.

   The time now is that the NCAA finals have just ended, and the NBA playoffs are about to start. It's just half a year from the beginning of the NCAA next season, and there are still five months before the team training camp starts next season.

   Logically speaking, this period of time is still very easy for him.

   In NCAA, as long as the training camp is not open, students still focus on learning and practice as a supplement.

   Their coaching work will not be so busy.

   Most NCAA coaches are indeed like this.

   But he can't.

   The Marquette Golden Eagles are really clueless now.

   The former boss of the team, Vardel, graduated from his senior year and has now gone to the NBA to participate in the draft.

   And the future core player of his favorite team, the rumors of the intellectually retarded genius, I don’t know if he can pass this make-up exam.

   Fortunately, if he fails, he needs to continue to find a core player for the team to lead the team next season.

  In the NBA, it’s easy to get confused by the core players. In the NCAA, the players are younger and more aggressive, and this is even more so.

Marquette University seems to be full of talents next season. There are new super genius Travis Dina on the guard line, second-year point guard Cod Henry, plus the guy who makes people a headache. , The outside line of the team next season, unprecedented strong.

   The team's center Scott Merritt and power forward Omara Ennamaka are also a very good combination.

   Three years ago, he was the assistant coach of Michigan State University's famous coach Tom Aesop. He came to Marquette University as the head coach. Next season will be the third season.

   In the past three years, his staff has never been as surplus as next season.

   It seems that next season seems to be the time for him to justify himself.

   But Tom Crean is not so optimistic.

  Because the team seems to be strong, except for the guy who caused him a headache, the other four people couldn't hold back the formation.

   The man who is called a mentally retarded genius by Marquette University basketball fans is tied to the hope of him and the team.

   A person who has never played in the team before, with the hope of him and the team, is this a bit too exaggerated?

   is not an exaggeration at all.

  Although he did not play a game last season, his evaluation at school is also very bad. Most people in the school have never seen him before, and they have full malice towards him. I want them to go out together.

   In the Marquette University team, he has high prestige.

  Although he could not play, Tom Krien saved a place for him on the team last season. After a year of getting along, everyone was conquered by him.

   Including him as the head coach.

   Although he can't play, he has done too many other jobs and contributions for the team.

   When the team is training, he and the assistant coach can assist him as the head coach to train the players, arrange tactics, and record the tactical points of the players' games and training.

   At the same time, it can also point out where the teammates are not doing well enough.

   Although his learning IQ is very low, his basketball quotient is unusually high.

   This is definitely the player with the highest quotient he has ever encountered in his coaching career.

   And he is not only a high player, his strength is also extremely good.

   In the Marquette University Golden Eagles’ annual "Midnight Madness", his outstanding athletic talent and rocket-like instantaneous explosiveness are horrible to suffocating.

On the usual training ground, today he can play the core guard of the opposing team, tomorrow he can play the star small forward of the opposing team, the day after tomorrow he can also play the inside player of the opposing team, and even the opponent’s three-point shooter can be the day after tomorrow. Play.

   Although his three-point shooting is not strong, he runs very well off the ball.

   Therefore, whether he is playing the opponent's defender, forward, insider or shooter, he is a comprehensive and powerful player who can even be stronger than the one he plays.

   With a person like this in the team, it is impossible to have low prestige.

   The people outside have not seen him, and they are quite understandable about him.

   Inside the team, as long as it is not blind and stupid, no one will dissatisfy him.

   So when the team played away games last season, because he could not be with the team, he could not appear in the away locker room, the team specially equipped him with a mobile phone.

   allows him to continue to coach the players like the team leader and captain during the intermission.

   Yes, the Marquette midfielder training last season was not the team's nominal core Vardell.

   It is the intellectually disabled genius who has a very low evaluation in school and is almost the biggest taint of his coaching of Marquette University, Dwyane Wade!

   Dwyane Wade, this mentally retarded genius, is the only core candidate in the hearts of him and the team next season.

   Even Dina persuaded him, because Dina was recruited by him with Wade.

   is also true, if Wade's can't continue, what will happen to the team next season?

   Tom Krien can't imagine it.

   Thinking of this kid's incredible learning ability, he got a headache.

   This kid’s terrifying ball quotient, wouldn’t it be obtained by sacrificing his IQ?

   "Tom!"

   Just when Tom Crean thought of Wade's daily headaches, the door of his office was pushed open.

   Tom Crean looked up and saw his assistant coach, Tim Buckley.

   Seeing Tim Buckley's excitement, Tom Crean was a little surprised.

   He rarely sees his assistant like this.

   In fact, his assistant is a very gentle person.

   Unlike his professional coach, Tim is not a professional coach.

   Tim is also a teacher at Marquette University and a part-time team assistant coach.

   "Tim, is there something urgent?"

  Excited Tim Buckley did not speak, but turned on the office TV and put a videotape into the recorder.

   "Tom, look at this, this is a video of an amateur game recorded by a student of mine who is a part-time reporter of the school newspaper yesterday."

  A video of an amateur game?

  Tim, have you found a good seedling again?

   If this is the case, it is understandable. After all, recruiting the Chinese student into the school team is a stain that Tim has always been ashamed of, and he has always wanted to make up for it.

Ok?

   After the video started playing, Tom Krien was a little dumbfounded.

   Although the recording equipment is not very good, coupled with the light problem, the picture is not very clear, but he can still see clearly who is in focus in the middle of the picture.

"List?"

   "Yes, this is a half-time five-on-five match between Chen and Joe Gordon!"

   "Joe Gordon? This name is familiar."

   "He came to the team last year to recruit new players and was selected, but Tom, you insisted on leaving a place for Dwyane, so..."

   Tim Buckley didn't say anything later, but Tom Crean remembered it.

   "A very good defender."

   Now it's Tom Crean's turn to be surprised.

   Chen actually competed with Joe Gordon?

  Tim is so excited. It is not that Joe Gordon abused Chen in the game. Chen's strength was exposed throughout the school. Wouldn't Tim ask him to expel Chen from the school team and wipe out his stains?

   Tim, shouldn't be such a person?

   "Tim..."

   "Tom, you continue to look down, the game has started."

   Tim Barkley didn't give Tom Crean a chance to convey the spirit of the Golden Eagle to him, so he blocked Crean's mouth first.

   Seeing Tim Barkley like this, Tom Crean had to continue watching the game, with curiosity, to see how badly Chen was abused, that made Tim so excited.

   Two hours later.

   I watched the video of Tom Klien, who didn't know it several times, and the look on his face at this time was exactly the same as the look on Tim Buckley's first time watching the video.

   Shocked, unbelievable, incredible.

   "Tom, do you want more?"

"want!"

   Repeat it again.

   The totally amateur dribble appeared again on TV.

   Although dribbling is an amateur, the next scene is enough to shock any basketball coach.

   "The way of dribbling is very amateur, but you can come and go freely and score points in a small space, full of enemy space."

   "Not only that, the enemy who defends him can't even spray him, all defenders, in front of him, are like wooden stakes!"

   If players like Jay Williams have treated these people as stubs, he might not think so.

   But, this person is a beginner who has just learned basketball for less than half a month!

  He doesn't have the skills of Jay Williams.

   He used all his extraordinary predictions!

   On TV, there was once again a clear sound of a successful layup.

   "This is not the best layup, nor is it the most unstoppable and powerful layup!"

   "This is the most intelligent layup!"

   "He looked down on the whole earth like a god!"

   "He, predicted everyone's prediction!"

   At this time, Tom Crean had clenched his fists tightly, and he could no longer control himself to stand up with excitement.

  ...

  ...

   "Brother Luo, these are the new brothers I met last night, Tai Long and Xiao Tai."

  "Xiaotai, this is the Luo brother I told you, Ron Howard, the future boss of the Marquette University Golden Eagles. After listening to Xiaotai yesterday, Luo brother also really wants to meet you."

   Ron Howard looked up and down Wade.

   Black frame, big eyes, big cheeks, gentle and gentle.

   is the same as Chen said to him.

   Such an alternative among blacks has the super high IQ and super athletic ability that can be seen at a glance that Chen is the school team and the power that can knock Joe Gordon into the air.

   "Xiaotai, don't look blindly, come and call Luo Ge."

  "..."

   is watching Ron Howard, wondering whether he knows Wade, who knows him or not, hearing Chen Xiao say this, he can't wait to kick him.

   In fact, Ron Howard thinks that Chen Xiao’s names invented by him are a bit weird. UU reading www.uukanshu.com, but he can’t correct it, just ignore it.

   There is no need for others.

  Chen said that he has its own national conditions in China, which is the habit in their country.

   Then he, of course, Great America can also have its own national conditions here.

   "You don't need to listen to Chen, just call me Ron. My name is Ron Howard. I am glad to meet you. Since you are Chen's good brother, then you are my good brother."

   Ron Howard's words made Wade a sigh of relief.

   "Hello, my name is Tyrone Vaughan, I am glad to meet you."

   This person's bearing is indeed extraordinary.

   Wade nodded secretly in his heart.

   "Your eldest brother is much stronger than you!"

   "That is, how else would he be our big brother?"

   "That's your big brother, not my big brother!"

   "Xiaotai, wait a minute, you won't say that right away."

   "Hmph, wait a minute, even if you wait for a year, wait for a lifetime, this is what I said."

   Chen Xiao and Wade, who were behind Ron Howard, kept communicating in low voices.

   Soon, with a click, Ron Howard opened the door of the dormitory and followed the two young people behind him. Among them, the one with the larger cheeks, his legs softened, and he almost knelt directly.

   "Luo, Brother Luo, this, is this your dormitory?"

  "..."

  Look at it, just now, how are you doing now? Kneel, hahahaha...

"Ugh…"

   Another young man who did not speak martial arts and attacked him suddenly...

   Looking at Ron Howard who was caught off guard by the name Luo, Chen Xiao almost laughed in his heart.
