Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

After Wu Dao gave Tian Tian a big hug, he began to take a serious look at the young man in front of him.

When watching the opponent play on the court, Wu Dao could see that this young man was much stronger than he was in high school. But watching from the sidelines and standing next to each other up close, the feeling is quite different.

The most intuitive thing is that martial arts can use one's own body shape to compare with the opponent's body shape.

Martial Arts' own physical talent is quite outstanding, and he is still the type with a relatively large rack that can hang meat. His figure, even in an environment like the NBA, is quite competitive. When ordinary players stand in front of him, they look relatively small.

But even so, Tian Tian standing in front of Martial Arts, the muscle dimension is still larger than that of Martial Arts. Tian Ye had just finished playing the game, and his body had not completely cooled down. There were fine beads of sweat on his skin, and his veins were like dragons, which were unusually conspicuous.

It can be seen that Tian Ye is not only heavy, but also does not have a high body fat rate.

Combined with the athletic ability displayed by the opponent on the field, Wu Dao couldn't figure out how this guy practiced for a while.

In other words, the opponent's physical talent even exceeds the martial arts' understanding of the players.

From Budo's point of view, people like Tian Tian are really showing off their talents by playing basketball. Playing rugby will definitely attract the attention of many, many people.

While Wu Dao was looking at Tian Tian's figure, Tian Tian was also looking at Wu Dao. If Tian Tian can astonish Martial Arts now, then the staged achievements that Martial Arts has achieved in the NBA now make Tian Tian envious.

After coming to the United States, his basketball path was not smooth. The opponents in high school have now become the absolute aces of NBA teams, and just a few days ago, the Timberwolves led by Budao actually defeated the Bulls led by the God of Basketball.

Being able to play in the NBA is a common goal pursued by almost every basketball player, and the same goes for Tian Ye.

It's just that even though his martial arts skills are already well-known in the NBA, he is still playing amateur basketball for a basketball team like Boston University. This gap inevitably makes Tian Tian feel embarrassed.

Seeing an old rival, the joy of an old friend was diluted. The smile on Tian Ye's face faded a little, and then he smiled and joked: "How about it? It must be great to be able to play in the NBA, right?"

"There are strong opponents in every game"

Tian Ye's brain circuit is somewhat different from that of ordinary players. Others wish they could abuse food every day, play basketball easily, win honors easily, and live a comfortable life.

But Ye Ye is the kind of person who "enjoys climbing". The stronger the enemy, the more he desires to conquer.

The NBA attracts him not because of the salary he can get as an NBA player, but because the NBA brings together the best players in the world. He can play against all kinds of opponents and has the opportunity to do so. Able to defeat powerful enemies one by one and satisfy one's desire to fight.

"Does it feel good?"

"A little bit."

"I think you'll have a chance to experience it for yourself soon."

"Do you have any thoughts about entering the NBA draft?"

"The coach of our team is very interested in you." Budao said, squinting at Philip who was communicating with the coach of the Boston University basketball team not far away, with a faint smile on his face.

"A talent show?"

"I think so, but my draft prospects are really average."

“Fame is never big enough after all.”

"Sometimes I really admire you for being able to play in such an environment and being able to enter the NBA with a high pick."

The social environment in Boston is much more serious than in many other places in the United States. Many people here have received higher education, but in many cases, the more they receive higher education, the more severe the discrimination becomes.

ZZ discrimination is often the strongest among people who are more "highly educated" and those who are more "low-intelligence".

The mentality of the high-minded is to view other ethnic groups from the perspective of "rulers" and "masters of society", while the "low-intelligence" people are those who have no ideas of their own and are most easily coerced by the "high-knowledge".

On the contrary, the middle group is more rational than those two groups.

The first stop of his field trip to the United States was Boston. It must be said that his experiences in recent years were not wonderful.

However, his size and his status as the "ace of the Boston University basketball team" saved him from a lot of trouble, otherwise, his experience would be even worse than what he is experiencing now.

Today's field is more eager for the NBA than in high school, which is more or less affected by this environmental factor. At least in the professional basketball arena, the relationship between players and coaches will be much simpler. If basketball is to be honest, he feels that he can gain a foothold in such a society.

To be honest, if he didn't have a suitable place to go, he wouldn't want to stay in a place like Boston. Even "Boston Round Face" couldn't stay, let alone him.

Between the words, Tian Tian revealed a strong expectation and yearning.

Hearing this, Wu Dao could feel some of the other party's mood and smiled: "Your situation will change soon."

"I see that many spectators are videotaping it, and your team is also videotaping it."

"Then you send those videos to NBA scouts and coaches and managers of each team."

"I think your current situation can be easily changed."

"I'll give you my agent's contact information, if you don't have that access, I think I can be of some help."

Budao said, asking for paper and pen from the assistant coach of the Tian Tian team, and leaving the contact information of himself and his agent to Tian Tian.

After all, they are acquaintances, so I can still help with these small favors when martial arts can help.

After he became somewhat famous in the NBA, his agent was also relatively busy during these times.

Although Wu Dao himself is still in his rookie stage, judging from his status in the Timberwolves and the data he produced, he must be "not for sale" to the Timberwolves. But this does not prevent other teams from contacting martial arts agents and becoming familiar with them in advance.

The NBA is a business league, and everyone knows some things tacitly.

Who knows when your team's "not for sale" will conflict with the management, giving other teams a chance.

If you send someone to contact you when the opportunity arises, it will be too late!

Therefore, there are indeed certain channels in martial arts, and the channels he has now are even wider than the coaches at Boston University.

With the value that Wu Dao currently plays in the NBA, if he puts it out, if any team can accept Tian Ye in the future, he will be willing to play for that team.

Presumably, many teams will prepare a contract for Tian Tian.

It's just that the relationship between martial arts and Tian Ye is not that good yet, and it is impossible for martial arts to put his own future in order to help Tian Tian in this way.

"Thank you, I won't be polite to you if I need it."

"I hope one day we can meet in the NBA." Tian Tian took over Wu Dao's contact information and did not reject Wu Dao's offer of help.

We are all adults, and things like self-esteem should not be used in this kind of place. There is no need to refuse the kindness of others.

Let’s not talk about whether Ye Tianye needs help from martial arts. Even if he does accept help from martial arts, it is not a big deal. He can just return it in the future. Why are friends called friends? It’s not just you helping me, I will help you. Put it?

"If you had to choose, where would you like to go?"

"I can see that Coach Philip is very interested in you. How about it? Do you want to come to the Timberwolves and join forces with me?"

Martial Arts asked with a smile. If the Timberwolves come to the field, he actually has no objection at all. If his team status will be shaken by the addition of the opponent...

Then it means that he is just that kind of man!

"Timberwolf?"

"If I really didn't have a choice, I would go."

"But if possible, I still hope I can have a team of my own!"

"Actually, I am quite interested in the Celtics. If possible, I hope to join the Celtics!"

Tian Ye did not hide his ambition at all and said openly. He had complicated feelings about the city of Boston. On the one hand, he didn't like the social atmosphere here and wanted to leave this place.

But deep down in Tianye's heart, there is a greater ambition. He hopes to use his basketball to completely conquer the people here and the fans here.

The Celtics are the home team of the city of Boston. This team is also a wealthy team in the NBA. It has won an unprecedented eight consecutive championships in history and has many stars.

If you can conquer this team...

After hearing what Tian Tian said, Wu Dao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, somewhat surprised. Thinking about it carefully, he did not express his opinion on this matter, he just smiled and said: "Then I hope you can get your wish."

"Come on, I hope to see you on the field in the future."

Wu Dao stretched out his hand, Tian Tian also smiled, stretched out his hand and held Wu Dao's hand tightly. After the two briefly exchanged a few words, Garnett came to inform Budao that he could practice on the field. After Garnett left, Budao also said goodbye to Tian Tian, ​​went to the sidelines to change clothes, and met his teammates. Enter training together.

"You know that guy?! The Timberwolves' legendary star?"

"Can you get me an autograph? Brother."

And just after Wu Dao and the others left, Tian Tian's teammates excitedly gathered around Tian Tian and curiously asked questions.

I don't know when the fame of a young player like Wu Dao spread to Boston, and some people even put the word "legend" on Wu Dao's head.

"Forget it about signing. I'm not very familiar with him, we're just friends."

Facing his teammates, Tian Ye refused lightly and said, he and these teammates are not even acquaintances, but he uses his connections to help these people? What are you thinking about?

After Wu Dao and the team members arrived, they started training under the guidance of the assistant coaches. Being familiar with the nature of the court was of course training. Otherwise, how could it be called familiar with the court? In addition to the most basic warm-up activities, the Timberwolves' players only performed the simplest training.

Dribbling and layups, passing and catching layups, and the most basic and basic things like shooting.

The Boston University players did not leave immediately after the game. After seeing the Timberwolves players arrive at the venue, they also sat on the sidelines and watched the Timberwolves' training.

For many players, NBA team training is well worth watching.

It's just the Timberwolves' training content that disappointed them.

But it was not without surprises. When Wu Dao was training on three-point shooting, the spectators and Celtics players also saw Wu Dao's shooting ability.

100 shots were taken from the three-point line at different points in the half, and Martial Arts was able to make 96 of them. The college players were amazed by the terrifying stability and shooting rate.

This era is different from the league environment in the next ten or twenty years. Even the shooters of ordinary teams do not have the stability and shooting rate of three-pointers like Wu Dao.

Moreover, the peak projection of martial arts is somewhat different from others!

There is almost no adjustment time for martial arts shooting. You will shoot quickly after picking up the basketball, which is different from ordinary top shooting training. Moreover, Wu Dao's "line-up" is obviously different from other players in the team.

Others train with different content in one half, and the space occupation rate is very low.

During the shooting training, Wu Dao not only occupied one half of the court, but also had two assistant coaches pick up the ball for Wu Dao. This "privilege" is actually the most special and conspicuous in the eyes of the audience.

Of course, Martial Arts will not care about what others think of him.

This is his way of staying in shape. If you ask other players to shoot a hundred three-pointers while they are "familiar with the court," they may not be happy with it.

The Celtics left shortly after the game, but the BU students didn't leave the arena until late in the evening.

After training for more than two hours, the Timberwolves players also announced that today's training was over.

The players, led by their coach, left the arena one after another.

The next day, the game between the Timberwolves and Celtics started as scheduled.

Coach Philip didn’t know what he said to the Boston University coach in the arena yesterday. In short, Coach Philip used his connections to get a few tickets and invited the Boston University coach and his family to watch the game.

Also present was Boston University's main core, Tian Ye.

When the Timberwolves players entered the stadium, Wu Dao quickly spotted Tian Tian, ​​​​who was wearing loose casual clothes among the crowd in the front row.

The seating arrangement in the NBA is different from that in the domestic CBA. In addition to the seats in the stands, there are also seats in the outer circle of the stadium, which is a true "front row".

Therefore, Wu Dao's actions after entering the venue also attracted the attention of some media reporters, and the cameras focused on Wu Dao and Tian Tian.

Wu Dao briefly greeted Tian Ye, and then returned to the sidelines to make final adjustments before the game.

Although it was just a "incidental" action, today's martial arts actions still aroused the curiosity of some media reporters.

Wu Dao has played so many games in the league, and this is the first time that reporters have seen such close interaction between Wu Dao and the audience. In the eyes of media reporters, Tian Tian must be Wu Dao's relatives and friends.

Journalists all have something in common. Sports reporters are also reporters. They are very interested in players' interpersonal interactions off the court and gossip news.
