Chapter 12 The Team's Secret Weapon



Soon, the day of enrollment arrived. Stephen drove his own Camaro and came to the school. After completing all the registration work, according to the above requirements, Stephen came to the basketball hall and reported to Coach Benjamin.

Benjamin was very happy when he saw Stephen coming. He pulled Stephen into the office alone and began to discuss with Stephen. It turned out that he thought that although Stephen was very talented physically, his basketball foundation was poor, so he hoped that Stephen could Basic training first, and he will specially arrange a coach for Stephen to conduct individual training, and Stephen also has to participate in the team's usual tactical training sessions, but he doesn't need to leave the field like those half-cheerleaders. On the one hand, it is necessary for confidentiality. Sometimes let Stephen act as the team's secret weapon. On the other hand, it is also considering that Stephen's foundation is too poor. What else can a person who can't even shoot do on the basketball court except run empty, and occasionally go up to bluff people.

Stephen thought about it for a while and agreed. He happened to carry out basic training under the guidance of the coach, saving himself the cost of hiring a coach. As for playing, Stephen didn't have a strong desire to play, because he knew his own business and couldn't perform well on the court. Function, what to do up there.

After agreeing, Coach Benjamin called a young coach named Punicatu, and told him that there was a small training ground at the end of the basketball hall, where Stephen could train with Capnicatu, and When I was in the tactics class, I came over to participate together.

Then I met with the players of the whole team. Except for Nick Young who met that day, there are nearly [-] members of the USC Troy basketball team. In addition to Yang, there is a guy named Gabe Pruitt, who also looks like a good basketball player. As for the other two freshmen, they are both white. If there is Ruowu's arrogance, you will know that they are here purely for their academic qualifications.

And they looked down on Stephen and the others, with their heads held high, the thick nostril hairs in their nostrils clearly exposed, they stood far away, saying nothing, and people similar to them were probably taller. The students in the grade also stood in two groups with such a clear distinction.

After getting to know each other, Coach Benjamin began to tell the glorious history of the Trojans of the University of Southern California. Unfortunately, most of the honors were created by other teams and had nothing to do with the basketball team. The Trojans of the University of Southern California can There are only a few who have entered the NBA league. The most famous one is Bill Sharman, one of the components of the Celtic dynasty, but this is already a few decades ago.

Among the active players is Crawford Robinson, who plays for the Golden State Warriors. He is nearly 40 years old and is still struggling on the court, just an ordinary role player; there is another one named Scalabrine, who plays for the For the New Jersey Nets, the role in the team is not as good as that of Crawford, so Benjamin didn't introduce much, he just talked about the spirit of the Trojans.

The University of Southern California is the university that has won the second most ncaa championships among American universities. However, there is another school in the Pacific Ten Schools Alliance, that is, the University of California, Los Angeles, also known as UCLA. He won the championship The school with the largest number is also the sworn enemy of USC.

However, the competition between the two sides is mainly on American football, and the winner of each year can have a one-year victory bell. Outside the league, USC’s mortal enemy is the University of Notre Dame, but it is also American football. As for basketball, forget it .

When Benjamin himself said above, he didn't have much confidence. The goal of this season is just to get into the ncaa championship. The qualification for the ncaa championship depends on the strength of the school and the team's status, except for the first place in the league. Whether the performance on the court can win the favor of the judging committee.

It was said that Nick Young and Gabe Pruitt, who were planning to do a big job this year, were immediately a little discouraged. The coaches did not have this confidence, so how could the players below have confidence, but looking at the senior players, it seems I'm used to this situation, and nothing happens when I sit there.

"As long as we can enter the championship, with our strength, we may not be able to go further, and we may not have a place in the Sweet Sixteen and Elite Eight. Anything can happen in a single elimination system, so don't miss it Confidence, this year we have added a few new players, especially Nick and Gabe, who are well-known elite players in high school, I believe that the Trojans who have added new blood will definitely surprise people who look down on us."

In the end, Benjamin finally revealed his ambitions this season, albeit in a tactful way, and then he called Nick Young up again to introduce his performance in high school.

Only then did Stephen know that this unattractive guy was selected as the seventh national player of the year when he was in Cleveland High School, and he was also one of the top 50 hopeful teenagers in the United States. The three-point shooting rate is 27.2%, and he has completed the feat of 10.8 points or 57.3 rebounds in a single game.

He is much stronger than himself. I was not so good in high school. When I looked at Nick Young, I couldn't help but have a hint of admiration. When I saw Stephen looking at me, Nick Young gave Stephen a very kind smile. Nick Yang is also very envious of Stephen's explosive body.

"Is this the Stephen you mentioned who can jump and dunk from the free throw line?" After the introduction, Gabe Pruitt brought Nick Young to Stephen and asked.

He is only a little taller than Stephen, and he has always been very proud of his jumping ability, but he still doesn't have much confidence in taking off and dunking from the free throw line, so he doesn't dare to underestimate Stephen.

"I only finished it occasionally, but don't talk nonsense." Stephen was broken when he heard it, and Nick Young's big mouth was talking nonsense, isn't it just asking for trouble for himself?

"Who jumped and dunked from the free throw line?" Suddenly a big bald head stretched over, and a big black man with a height of more than two meters squeezed over and asked. Stephen remembered that he seemed to be a third-year student, and his name was Coopard.

Seeing everyone's surprised eyes, Coupard pointed to the hearing aid above the ear, and everyone understood why he heard it. This is true, so wear a hearing aid properly.

They later learned that Coopard did this to apply for a bursary for the disabled, and the tuition fees at USC are not generally expensive.

"We're talking about how many people can complete the free throw line to take off and dunk." Gabe Pruitt glanced at Stephen, feeling that he didn't want this matter to be publicized, so he took the initiative to cover it for Stephen.

"Tch, don't lie to me, who of you can complete that action, buddy treats you today." Coupard really didn't hear clearly who was able to complete that action, but his strong curiosity made him very inquisitive.

"Is that you? The yellow-skinned kid?" Coupard asked with his eyes wide open when he saw Nick Young and Gabe Pruitt looking at Stephen.

"No." Stephen replied coldly without even looking up at him.

"Although I don't think you, a yellow-skinned guy, can do that kind of action, but your answer makes me very dissatisfied. Why? Want to taste my Coppard's iron fist?" Coppard stretched out his two arms. With mottled arms, Nick Young and Gabe Pruitt moved aside and stood in front of Stephen.

"Really? Then come." Stephen ignored the eyes of Nick Young and Gabe Pruitt telling him to rush for help, and looked up at Coupard with contemptuous eyes.

"Okay, kind, now apologize to me, Coppard, and I admit that you are my little brother." Coppard smiled instead of anger at Stephen's rebellious attitude, and squeezed his fist hard, while grimly He smiled at Stephen.

"Hehe, I also lack a younger brother. I wonder if you would be willing to act as a younger brother?" In the past, Stephen might not have dared to provoke such a tall and strong man, but after his body changed, he naturally became more courageous. In addition, after so many days of acting as a good baby, I have long been aggrieved, and the violent emotions in my heart have long wanted to vent, and when Coppard came to the door, Stephen would hold back.

"Okay, okay, come with me to the bathroom over there if you have the guts, and I'll teach you how to accept someone as a younger brother." Kuppard said yes three times, the smile on his face became wider, and he pointed and asked road.

Stephen took the lead and left without saying a word. Coupard seemed to be very surprised that Stephen dared to go, and he was taken aback before following. Nick Young and Gabe Pruitt looked at each other, not knowing what to do what choice.

To help Stephen, it seems that everyone is not that familiar. He challenged the senior students when he first entered the school, and he is still such a big classmate. , and it's a bit unreasonable, after all, the two of them started the topic.

"How?" Gabe Pruitt asked Nick Young.

"Go and have a look. I guess Coppard won't torture that kid too much. The kid seems to have a lot of background. When he entered the school, he was personally accompanied by the school supervisor to go through the formalities." Nick Young thought about it, and still felt that It's time to check it out, stop it or not, at least help with words, even if it's directed at Stephen's background, you can't ignore it.

But before they got to the bathroom, they saw Stephen and Coupard coming out of the bathroom one after the other. Stephen walked in front very calmly as before, without even breathing, while Coupard It's not so easy, the clothes are very messy, and the expression on the face is also very wrong, grinning from time to time.

No, the battle is over so soon, and it seems that Stephen still won. Is this kid's fighting power so amazing?It’s only been a long time since I entered the conference. I’m afraid it won’t take even 2 minutes, so I made Coupard like this. The two of them looked at each other, and they were even more surprised and curious about Stephen’s ability.
