034. Surprise not surprise, thorn not exciting
When John Wooden heard Ye Zheng's sincere words, he immediately smiled with relief: "Boy, you can even say such touching words."
David and Fick stood up, bowed to Ye Zheng and said, "I'm sorry, we misunderstood you."
"However, I still have to say something. The Wizards urgently need to strengthen now. If you miss this opportunity, then there will be no next time. You have to think about it seriously." David said with a serious look on his face.
Hearing this, John Wooden couldn't say anything. After all, it was very rare to be able to enter the NBA's main position and give such a high annual salary.
"No need to think about it!" Ye Zheng said firmly.
Seeing the Wizards walking out of the office, Ye Zheng's face was still very calm, without any regrets.
"Ye Zheng, you have lost a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." John Wooden said.
"Even if I don't enter the NBA this time, I can enter the draft with my own strength." Ye Zheng said confidently.
"What's wrong, head coach, don't you have confidence in me?" Ye Zheng said to John Wooden intently.
"Of course I have confidence, and it doesn't matter who brought you back from China!" John Wooden said proudly, and finally couldn't help but pat Ye Zheng's shoulder a few times, and his eyes also showed gratitude.
"Ding, because the host rejected the Wizards' signing, he received the sincere friendship of head coach John Wooden, and rewarded a Super God Card Time Limiting Skill Card."
When Ye Zheng heard the sound of the system, his eyes lit up. He really didn't expect that he would receive such an unexpected reward.
After returning to the dormitory, Ye Zheng immediately opened the "Basketball Super God System" and saw a card with silver light flashing.
The Super God Card Time Skill Card (Silver Level), a disposable consumable, lasting for a game, allows the host to have unparalleled card skills during the game and can judge the landing point of the basketball in advance.
The levels of cards obtained are divided into four levels, namely: bronze, silver, gold, and star diamonds!
At the same time, Ye Zheng found that the data of his panel attributes had also changed a little, but it was still not helpful to the overall progress. So far, Ye Zheng has not felt that the basketball ability has been qualitatively improved.
Now that the game has reached the semi-finals, Ye Zheng is eager to improve his strength. Seeing the 200,000 reputation value obtained in this game, which is equivalent to two thousand skill points, he doesn't know whether to continue to obtain new ultimate skills or strengthen his existing ultimate skills. "System, do you have any good suggestions?"
"Enhance the ultimate kill skill and step back three-pointer." The system suggested.
"Why?" Ye Zheng asked in confusion.
"The most outstanding ability of the host now is to shoot far, continue to strengthen this ability, and make this ultimate skill a super ultimate skill that determines the competition." The system said leisurely.
Ye Zheng frowned, wondering whether to follow the system's suggestions.
"Host, now spending 2,000 skill points to enhance it, which can improve the hit rate, attack time, reaction speed, etc. of this ultimate skill." The system explained.
"Then continue to strengthen the retreat three-pointer!" Ye Zheng said.
"Start to convert reputation values...90...80...50..."
"The reputation value is successfully converted, two thousand skill points!"
"Consuming the host's two thousand skill points and starting to strengthen!"
Ye Zheng saw that the basketball panel was rising in the distance, and it stopped until 90, and the mid-range and near-range shots also improved a little.
After putting on clothes in the dormitory, Ye Zheng planned to go to the basketball court to experiment with his touch.
At this time, Ye Zheng was standing outside the three-point line. Facing the basket in the air, Ye Zheng obviously felt some changes. His body had a very big improvement in his ability to shoot long shots. In the past, he always had the suspicion of taking chances. Whether to enter or not is left to fate. But now he can always feel that this ball can definitely be entered.
After he took a step back, the basketball came out.
"Swish!"
The basketball fell into the net bag, and even Ye Zheng's shooting speed this time was faster than before. Of course, this one is very difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, and it can only be based on the long-term feeling of pitching.
This is like a person's basketball skills. Some people are born to be much more accurate than others in shooting, and they shoot much faster. It is difficult to reach this level in acquired training.
This is the difference between a star and an ordinary player.
Ye Zheng took out a basketball from the basketball cart again, and this time the distance was longer.
He did not make any moves, and directly shot a three-pointer from his hand with a long three-pointer.
"Swish!"
The basketball entered the frame again. Before the ball was shot, Ye Zheng felt that this ball should be entered, and he did go in without any suspense.
"Papapapapa..." A warm applause sounded.
"Ye Zheng, you don't have to work so hard. You are still training so late. However, your three-pointer shot is so beautiful." John Wooden said excitedly from the sidelines. Ye Zheng didn't expect that he could meet the coach so late, and he didn't expect that the coach would misunderstand. He just came to try and strengthen the power of the three-pointer after the step back.
"Head coach, it's so late, why haven't you slept yet?" Ye Zheng asked.
"I can't sleep, I'm watching the next opponent's game video. The University of North Carolina basketball team is very strong. This is Michael Jordan's alma mater." John Wooden smiled bitterly on his face.
After all, Michael Jordan is known as the God of Basketball and is an existence that most people cannot defeat in their hearts. Facing his alma mater, there will inevitably be some pressure.
Ye Zheng said seriously: "The head coach, although he is Michael Jordan's alma mater, we don't have Jordan when we play against the University of North Carolina basketball team!"
Hearing this, John Wooden thought for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "Ye Zheng, you're right!"
...
The next day, in the University of California basketball hall!
All the players are conducting the next offensive and defensive drill against the University of North Carolina basketball team. All the players have used all their strength to improve the tactics formulated by the head coach. Although it seems that the operation is still a bit unsuccessful, they have already had some tacit understanding.
John Wooden attaches great importance to the University of North Carolina basketball team, which is related to the final championship and Asian League battle.
After half an hour of regular training, the players' physical strength reached a limit, but for the day after tomorrow, the head coach held his arms and still did not stop, but frowned, looking at the attacking side, feeling that it was always difficult for them to make a perfect attack.
Especially center Clark, his running speed is always half a beat slower than the overall rhythm. As long as the ball reaches him, the overall offense will slow down.
At this time, a basketball was shot from the outside, hit the basket, and bounced.
Center Clark jumped up and hugged the basketball tightly with both hands. When he fell from above, an accident happened. He accidentally didn't stand firmly, and sprained for a moment, and immediately fell to the ground in pain and started to wail.
The team doctor and the head coach who saw this scene rushed forward and surrounded him.
A minute later, the team doctor communicated with head coach John Wooden, which made his face darker.
"Half an hour later, enter the conference room for a meeting." Head coach John Wooden left without looking back after saying this.
John Wooden said seriously in the conference room: "Tell everyone a bad news. Clark was injured in his foot and needed to rest for a week, which means he could not play the day after tomorrow."
This surprised all the players. They did not expect that the team's drills would cause such serious damage. Of course, there are substitutes in the team, but in the center position, substitutes are still very immature. In the past, at most, the garbage time was spent, but now he was a little timid.
"What's wrong, Griffin, do you have no confidence?" Head coach John Wooden could see the opponent's condition at a glance.
"That, head coach, I...I..."
"Okay, stop talking."
"Now we have an important game with the University of North Carolina basketball team. The winner has a chance to win the championship, and the loser can only fight for the third place. Do you want the championship or the third place?" John Wooden shouted.
"champion!"
"Okay, I'll ask, who can get the center position up."
All the players on the court have quieted down. The center position is not just about height, but also requires certain skills, especially when the team cannot start the situation. The center's conduction effect is extremely important.
Although the current trend in the NBA league is a five-minute tactic, that is, throwing three-pointers from the outside, the role of the inside center cannot be denied. With the center, the game can be more visible.
Besides, this game is related to the team's entry into the championship and Asian League battle. It can be said that it is very important, and all players dare not agree rashly.
John Wooden swept around, and at this moment, Ye Zheng suddenly remembered that he had obtained a skill card, which was just used in this game.
John Wooden showed a disappointed expression on his face. Although he could understand, he was still helpless about the fighting spirit of the team players.
"Head coach, I can replace Clark's center position." Ye Zheng's calm voice rang in the small conference room.
Everyone was very surprised when they heard this. Because Ye Zheng has always played the outside pitcher, and this time he actually took the initiative to enter the inside, which is simply incredible.
"What did you say?" the head coach asked in a hoarse voice.
"I can replace Clark's center."
"You have to play No. 5."
"Yes, I can play No. 5." This sentence is firm.
"Ye Zheng, you have strong strength and good physical fitness, but the fifth position is not just enough, but also requires super positioning ability, ability to judge the basketball landing point, etc.," John Wooden said unsure.
Ye Zheng knew all these basic requirements. If he didn't have this card, he wouldn't have replaced the center. With this card, he was very confident to become the best group of centers.
John Wooden was a little worried. Ye Zheng made a big splash in these four games. He played phenomenal data in four consecutive games from a rookie who had just entered the United States. While he was happy, he was also thinking about whether the other party was a little proud. He actually expressed his idea of replacing the center position.
