knife point guard

Chapter 4 [McNamara]

Jim Boeham is the man on the planet who knows Syracuse University's basketball gym the most.

Since he became a student of Syracuse University in 1962, he only played in the professional league for a few years in the middle, and stayed in this arena most of the rest of the time.

He became an assistant coach at Syracuse University in 1969 and has been the head coach of the Orangemen since 1976.

Coach Jim paid attention to Jack Su a week ago.

It was originally a deal between him and Reggie Wilms that allowed Jack Su to enter the team's roster.

In college basketball, although superstars cannot get material rewards, they have privileges.Reggie Weems named the Chinese point guard on the roster, and the coaching staff and the sports committee had to secure a scholarship for him.

With the unexpected death of Reggie Weems, this 'unfinished project' became a priority that the coaching staff had to deal with.

In the NCAA, each team's official roster has a personnel limit, and they don't want to waste another spot.Because the player list itself is redundant.

This last week when he went back to school and started working.Every day, I can see Su Xi going out early and returning late for training. This child is working hard and improving very fast.

In the evening, he also went to the surrounding courts to play.

Coach Jim went to see it twice. Although it was a relatively low-level game, Su Xi showed abilities that he didn't have last season.

Jim likes hardworking players.

And he doesn't discriminate against skin color, he doesn't think that yellow skin should sit in the classroom of business school and study hard, and work hard for Wall Street's offer.

Interestingly, yesterday afternoon, Jim Boham also inadvertently witnessed the whole process of Su Xi rejecting girls.At that time, he was holding a cup of coffee in a daze in front of the office window.

Then, he saw a beautiful Chinese girl call Su Xi out of the arena.

This beautiful Chinese girl expresses her love to Su Xi with all her heart. It can be seen that she is very brave, and she really wants to date Jack Su.

Jim laughed at the time.

He came from a young age, and he didn't think it was an inappropriate thing.

At that time, he even thought maliciously: This guy Jack should not consume the electricity bill of the arena tonight, he will go to a hotel to train overnight.

However, something happened that he didn't expect.

Su Xi actually rejected the girl.He said firmly: "I can understand your emotions because I have helped you. But, you have to know, I help you because I think you need my help. You just came from China, and your language has problems, and I can speak some simple Chinese."

"It's gratitude, it's not love."

Su Xi calmly rejected Huang Xiaoman.

However, Huang Xiaoman stated very clearly: "No, I am very clear that this is not gratitude. I just like you."

Jim praised this brave girl in his heart. He knew that Chinese girls are usually very shy.

He hoped that little bastard Jack would agree to this brave girl quickly, after all, this girl was so beautiful and outstanding.

Su Xi still shook her head.He said: "You should focus on your studies, you have a bright future. You should not focus on me, as if I am going to focus all my energy on basketball now. I can't give any energy to other things."

"sorry!"

Su Xi finally gave the girl a gentleman's hug, and then he returned to the basketball court, as if nothing had happened, he continued to train, and he was performing his training tasks according to the original plan.

Jim Boham was very shocked. He had seen many restless teenagers at Su Xi's age. He had worked on the basketball team for so many years, and he knew too well what virtue these sports stars had on campus.Girls would often come to him crying and complaining about some irresponsible basketball player.

As a head coach, he tends to push those things down.

This makes many members of the basketball team feel that this is a 'hint' that they can mess around in the relationship between men and women.

This guy actually loves basketball so much?

Coach Jim was shocked at this moment. He thought of himself... In 1962, he also loved basketball so much, but at that time he confessed to the girl he liked and was rejected.

Then he begs his roommate, Dave Bing, to help him get on the school team so that more girls will like him.Even tracked down the girl, alas, that girl ended up marrying the school's rugby star.

In the first grade, he didn't get a chance to play at all.His self-esteem pushed him to train tenaciously, he kept improving, and he reached heights he couldn't imagine.

Then, he forgot about the girl.

In his senior year, he even became the captain of the school team, and then led the team with Dave Bing to the best result in school team history at that time.Then Dave Bin entered the NBA, and he quickly returned to campus and has been coaching the school team so far.

He saw his own shadow in Su Xi... although this shadow was the opposite of his shadow.

But he doesn't mind, people are old, and it's not normal to have a little memory deviation.Is there any difference between me rejecting that girl and that girl rejecting me?Has it affected me as a head coach?

Coach Jim thought to himself: Maybe it would be a good choice to keep this little guy on the school team.He can stay in the reserves, maybe one day like me?

...

When Gray McNamara showed up at the Syracuse University Oranges basketball gym with a duffel bag, no one recognized the Pennsylvania high school basketball player.

He was wearing simple shorts and a T-shirt, and he had come to visit the future home arena.

Unlike other high school stars, McNamara didn't show off his bravado.

Su Xi ran back and forth frantically on the court. He tied sandbags on his legs and kept sprinting.He uses this method to improve his strength and explosiveness.

McNamara stood on the sidelines, watching Su Xi who was sprinting wildly.

I muttered in my heart: different training methods, don't you worry about your knees?

He wandered around the arena for half an hour and spent half an hour.

He is very satisfied with the hardware facilities here, which is similar to what the coaching staff said when recruiting.Definitely the best college basketball team in New York State.

He walked over to Suzy and asked, "Hi, are you a player for the Oranges? I'm Gray McNamara."

Su Xi raised her head, it was an ordinary white boy with a clear smile on his face.

he said yes."

Then, he said: "You can visit as you like. If you want to play a game, there are basketballs and locker rooms in the back. Our summer vacation management is not very strict."

McNamara laughed.He thought to himself that this new teammate must not know his name yet.

That's right, this is not Pennsylvania, and his fame has not expanded to the whole United States.

However, it will be soon.

After all, my goal is not to become an ordinary NCAA player, I want to play in the NBA!
