015: It doesn't seem so difficult (4k(2/2)
"First of all, what you are most concerned about, let me announce today's starting lineup. Point guard Lucas, shooting guard Tony, small forward Joey (Graham), power forward Wei, and center Holmes."
After Sutton announced the list, he glanced at Wayne and found that he had clenched his fists.
The Cowboys' muscular power forward Randy Carter looked confused.
He always felt that he should be the starter.
But overall, this starting set did not cause too much commotion among the players, and they were basically convinced.
"Great, Wayne!" Teacher Tony, who was sitting next to Wayne, said quietly, and then patted Wayne's arm in celebration.
Wayne smiled and nodded. Although he knew in advance that he would be on the starting lineup, when the moment officially came, Wayne was still a little excited.
"However, I can't guarantee that the regular season starter will be exactly the same as today. Again, my team only speaks with its strength. The purpose of this series of warm-up matches is to test the lineup. I just want to lead a team that can win.
Play the game with the best lineup!”
Old Sutton was extremely serious today, and the goal he conveyed was very clear: "Even if it's just a warm-up match, I want you to win it beautifully!"
That's the Cowboys style.
Desperate to win and driven forward, this team has been deeply imprinted with Sutton's signature.
After the head coach finished speaking, the players continued to put on their equipment.
Wayne opened the locker and took out his No. 11 jersey.
This number was chosen by the previous Wayne. Because Yao Ming had just entered the NBA as the No. 1 pick at that time, which greatly encouraged Wayne, who was playing in a foreign country.
Therefore, Wayne chose the same number as Chairman Yao in the Mosaic team.
"Okay, this is our territory, it's no one else's turn to act wild, let's go!" Finally, Tony Allen stood up and waved his arms, and the young players with high spirits filed out one after another.
The moment he pushed open the locker room door, huge cheers filled Wayne's ears.
He followed Tony Allen and rushed out of the tunnel, and he suddenly got goosebumps all over his body.
Is this...the highest level college basketball league in the world?
Wayne looked around at the dark crowd of fans and was dumbfounded.
This atmosphere is more fanatical than the NBA!
In fact, there are only a few teams with high attendance in the NBA regular season.
Therefore, the atmosphere at NCAA games is really more lively than the atmosphere at most NBA games.
"Wei, why are you standing there stupidly? Go warm up!"
It wasn't until Sutton yelled behind Wayne that he finally came to his senses.
"Yes!" After being reminded by Sutton, Wayne's mood changed from nervous to excited.
Isn’t it my ultimate dream to stand on such a court and play basketball?
So, let this dream become more brilliant!
"Is he the Chinese student who defeated Rasheed Wallace?"
"Oh my God, have you seen his arm? I feel like he can block shots even from a distance of one meter."
"He's a sophomore? Why didn't I have any impression of him last season?"
In the stands, many fans instantly started discussing Wayne.
After Sutton sat on the bench, he looked back at the audience.
He noticed that there were many middle-aged men in suits and leather shoes with serious expressions in the arena today.
Most of these guys should be NBA scouts.
It's really rare. It seems that this year's Cowboys team is also attracting everyone's attention.
During the warm-up, Wayne glanced at the white forward who was practicing post-ups under the basket, his opponent today, Matt Frager.
It doesn't look like much in the picture, but in reality, that guy is really strong.
And that blond hair and mustache... actually look a bit like Dirk.
It seems that a fierce battle is inevitable today.
After a while, the referee signaled the players from both sides to step into the center circle, and the cheers at the scene reached their peak.
Wayne took deep breaths and tried to relax.
Although he is a sophomore player, in a real sense, this game is Wayne's NCAA debut.
At this time, Wayne's system evaluated the overall difficulty level of this game as usual.
"Wait, the intensity and difficulty of the game are just normal?" After seeing the difficulty evaluation, Wayne was stunned.
What about the promised hard fight?
Is the opponent too weak?
