I am Really an Insider

Chapter 8: Wayne in Transformation

   Eddie Sutton was sitting in front of his office computer with a cup of coffee.

   On the computer screen, a video of the game of the University of Texas Longhorns last season is playing.

   The University of Texas Longhorns were the Big Twelve League championship last season, and they also got the best record in team history of 26 wins and 7 losses.

   In addition to winning the Big Twelve League championship, the Longhorns also reached the final four as a dark horse in the March Madness Championship!

   This is the first time they have reached the semi-finals in 56 years. This shows how terrifying the Longhorns team last season.

   There is no doubt that the Longhorns are the biggest stumbling block on the road to success for the Cowboys who are aiming for the Big 12 championship this season.

   Although the Longhorns' star star last season, Naismith and Wood Award winner T.J. Ford left the team in the draft this summer.

   But they are still a tough team to deal with.

   In addition to T.J. Ford, the Longhorns also have second-year star guard Roy Ivey.

   This guard from Queens, New York, like most kids on the streets of New York, is extremely tough on defense.

   When the two sides played against each other last season, he created a lot of trouble for Tony Allen.

   After T.J. Ford left, Ivey is undoubtedly the leader of the Longhorns.

   In addition to Roy Ivey, Sutton has another problem. That is the fresh blood who just joined the Longhorns this year, the talented player P.J. Tucker from Enno High School.

   P.J. Tucker’s most famous performance in high school was that he used to be a high school third-year player and restrained Carmelo Anthony, who was a senior in a game.

   Carmelo Anthony, who is he? That was the winner of the NCAA Championship last season, and this year's draft is a guy who was compared with LeBron James!

   Coincidentally, the Longhorns were eliminated by Anthony in the Final Four last season.

   Many experts believe that if the Longhorns had P.J. Tucker last season, maybe the champion would not be Anthony.

   Tucker's defensive ability is undoubtedly, he has been as tough as a professional player in high school.

   Although the height is average, but the power is very scary.

   Terrifying power and strong athletic ability allow him to blow up the restricted area with his height disadvantage.

   In high school, Tucker seemed to be the next Charles Barkley.

   Although Tucker hasn't played an NCAA game yet, Sutton has no reason to underestimate such a guy.

   What's more, this season the Cowboys just lacked a strong forward who can match Tucker, which made Sutton even more devastated!

   Thinking of this, Sutton paused the game video.

   The reason why he told everyone before the start of the season that the starting position may be reorganized is to stimulate the full energy of those players at the fourth position.

   Sutton knows very well that if he doesn't find a fourth position that can compete with P.J. Tucker, it would be idiotic to win this year.

   But for now, he really doesn't have a good candidate.

   Wayne was his most optimistic at the beginning, because Wayne has a huge advantage over Tucker in height.

   But in yesterday's training, Wayne's performance did not make Sutton feel that dazzling.

   His habit of shooting from outside has not changed.

   Although Wayne's ability to cope in a high position has made Sutton's eyes bright, but rather than coping, Sutton wants to see an unyielding inside defense.

   However, the preparatory training before the new season has just begun. Sutton told himself that he must be patient.

   Those children still have room for growth.

   "Boom, boom, boom, boom..."

   Sutton was thinking, but he, who was in the office, vaguely heard a sound from outside.

   It sounded like a basketball hitting the wooden floor.

   "Someone came so early?" Sutton looked at the clock on the wall in astonishment. It's only six forty!

   Since today is Sunday, the training time is relatively late, starting at nine o'clock.

   Under normal circumstances, the players are grateful for not being late on Sunday morning.

   But today, there is actually the National People's Congress training in advance during the weekend?

   Sutton opened the office door curiously. On the empty training ground, he saw the Chinese student who was practicing three-pointers.

   "Ah!? Are you the coach too!?" Seeing Sutton suddenly appeared, Wayne was startled.

   He always thought there was no one in the training hall.

"Um... I couldn't sleep at home, so I came over." Sutton nodded. He was so devastated by the Longhorns that he couldn't sleep at 5 in the morning, so he went straight to the office to see The video started.

   "Are you very hardworking, don't you sleep late on weekends?" Sutton looked at Wayne's skin and found that he had sweated a lot.

   "I can't sleep too much, and I don't want to waste time when I think that I am still far away." Wayne tilted his head, and then continued to shoot three-pointers.

   Because of the increase in the three-point ability value yesterday, Wayne's shooting percentage during the three-point practice has increased a lot.

   It stands to reason that the three-point ability value of 68 is not high. But the NCAA's three-point line is closer to the basket than the NBA.

   Therefore, Wayne 68's three-point ability is already very strong in the NCAA.

  Mirai Lonzo Ball, the crooked blacksmith, has an estimated three-point ability of 60 in the NBA.

   But in the NCAA, his three-point shooting percentage is as high as 41%.

   Now, Wayne can complete the three-point training faster and easier, earning growth points crazy.

   Watching Wayne hit consecutive shots from various positions, Sutton began to seriously consider the possibility of Wayne as a space power forward.

   Wayne shot more from the middle distance last season, but the three-pointer Wayne showed in the past two days has made Sutton shine.

   Although Sutton does not expect Wayne to kill the game by three points, he still firmly believes that an inside line should be used in the penalty area.

   But the emergence of the space-based fourth position at least enriches the Cowboys' tactics next season.

   Just imagine, if Wayne can open the space, the breakthrough of Tony Allen and Graham will be easier.

"By the way, I have a small request and I want to discuss it with you." After completing the training task of hitting 100 three-pointers with only 175 shots, Wayne sweated profusely and walked to the thoughtful one. Sutton approached.

   "Go ahead, what's the matter?"

   Sutton thought to himself, Wayne might recommend himself and want to start?

   As a result, Wayne's request was unexpected by Sutton.

   "That...I just want to add ball control training to the original training plan."

   "Possessing the ball?" Sutton looked at Wayne in astonishment. Does this guy really know where he is?

   likes to float on the outside to shoot, like to hold the ball like a defender.

   Now he actually wants to deliberately train the ball?

   Which player with a height of 2.11 meters did you meet to practice ball control?

   That's how you want to be a pentagonal warrior?

   Wayne certainly did not make such a request on a whim.

  Since in the game, doing things that do not fit the players in the position can increase the acquisition of growth points, so training must be the same.

   This also explains why the three-point shooting training is currently the most added training item.

   If you complete the ball control training, you might get more growth points.

   Wayne has gone farther and farther on the road of card system bugs.

   "Is it possible to increase the special training of ball control? It is not impossible, but...do you really need it?" Sutton did not directly refuse, no one would refuse players who actively trained.

   And seeing Wayne so enthusiastic, Sutton really couldn't bear to pour cold water.

   Student players are not the same as professional players. They are students first and then players.

   If a student actively wants to learn, the teacher is not easy to say no.

"Of course I do. I don't want to leave too many shortcomings. Before the start of the new season, I have to try to fill in my disadvantages. Strength, weight, and ball possession are my current disadvantages and my main goal to improve. In the future, in the game, I can't always receive the ball every time, I can only stand in place stupidly?"

   Wayne's eyes were firm, and he was right.

"Look, see, this is what a student player should look like! This enthusiasm, this pure obsession with basketball, this kind of enthusiasm to work hard to improve is rare in young people now!" Sutton secretly admired Wayne in his heart.

   Regardless of whether Wayne finally made a starter or not, Sutton decided to give this hardworking teenager more opportunities!

   But what Wayne thought in his mind was: "There is another way to grow points, so I'm so full!"

   After the morning training started, Sutton really added the ball-handling training for Wayne.

   Following a group of guards, Wayne dribbled the ball through barricades, looking a little bit self-satisfied.

   But when Wayne completed a round of training, he also got the reward he deserved.

   One round of ball control training allowed Wayne to get 50 growth points, which is more than the growth points he got in three-point training!

  Since this way, Wayne has been able to get a lot of points for just completing regular training every day.

   Besides, there are so many skills that you don't have to press down. Although it is for the purpose of scoring points to practice ball control, if you really practice the ball control attributes in the future, it will be beneficial and harmless.

   In a blink of an eye, a week passed.

   After a week of accumulation, Wayne has completely digested the 10 bonus points left from the last upgrade.

   He only spent 2 points on three-pointers. For the NCAA, a three-point ability of 70 is more than enough.

   For the rest, Wayne continued to add all the covers.

   Currently, Wayne's blocking ability has reached 62.

The blocking ability of   62 is also not high, but with Wayne's height and 2.30 meters wingspan, it is still enough to cause great deterrence in the university arena.

   Yes, Wayne's wingspan data is very beautiful, and he was taken aback when he measured his wingspan yesterday.

   This static talent really doesn't have to be said, but it's a pity that the basketball loss is too touching.

   At this time on the training ground, the Cowboys' daily "reserved show" 3 vs. 3 crossover confrontation is underway.

   Sutton and his son both stared at Wayne, because he just rewarded John Lucas with a volleyball hat!

   Don't look at John Lucas III, who is only 1.83 meters tall, but his ability to avoid blocks is very good, and he can't just stand up and risk him.

   When he singled out with Wayne a few days ago, Lucas didn't let Wayne take advantage. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

   But this time, Wayne accurately seized the opportunity to make Lucas defeated.

   And similar things are happening more and more frequently these days.

   People suddenly discovered that Wayne’s recently guarded basket was a bit difficult to play.

   It's not just Lucas, there are only a handful of people on the team who haven't been risked by Wayne these days.

   Wayne's performance made Sutton very happy, because last season, Sutton could not see this in Wayne.

   In nearly a week of training, Wayne has been surprising people almost every day.

   "Did you see his defense, Sean." Eddie Sutton slightly raised the corner of his mouth. He really loved Wayne's violent hot pot inside these days.

   Actually, Wayne still has many shortcomings on the defensive end. For example, the speed is not fast enough, the confrontation is a bit difficult, the position is not accurate enough, and so on.

   But his beautiful covers time and time again, he concealed those shortcomings.

  Marcus Camby's law works.

   As long as you block enough shots, outsiders will have a "good defense" impression of you.

"Wayne seems to have fully evolved. His three-pointers are now stable and the defense is not weak. At the same time, he is one of the most diligent players." Sean Sutton agrees with his father and praises Wayne. Constantly speaking.

   "Yes, the most diligent person will always have good results."

   Sutton and his son were chatting, and there was another "pop" on the court.

   This time, it was Toolman guard Warren who was unlucky. His empty cut layup was directly hit by Wayne on the rebound.

   is simply ruthless.

   Sutton looked at Wayne who finished the block and couldn't help applauding. The appearance of his starting lineup for the new season has gradually become clear.
