I am Really an Insider

Chapter 15 015 Doesn't Seem That Difficult (4k Recommendations Please)

After getting the materials from the basketball hall, Wayne still couldn't restrain his excitement.

A starter on an NCAA Division I team

A little over a month ago, that seemed like a tough goal for Wayne.

But now, he actually embraced happiness.

This month's hard work and sweat were not in vain. Whether in his previous life or now, Wayne has never felt so fulfilled.

Because this is the first time in his two lifetimes that he has taken a solid step towards something he likes.

The word dream was extremely illusory to the former Wayne.

But at this moment, he is setting sail on the journey of pursuing his dream.

Of course, this is just a small step.

Becoming a starter is not the end goal, it's just a starting point.

If the performance is not good in the next few warm-up games, the starting position is also likely to be replaced.

The most important thing now is to keep the starting position. Then, make steady progress in the direction of NCAA stars!

Thinking of this, Wayne opened the folder he had just brought from Sutton.

Inside, there is a scouting report for a player named Matt Frager, who is the player Wayne will face up against in the next game.

Seeing that the name was so unfamiliar, Wayne let out a sigh of relief.

The name is unfamiliar, at least it proves that this buddy has not played well in the NBA in the future, and he should not be a too difficult opponent to deal with.

After reading the name, Wayne looked down at the guy's profile.

It has to be said that the scouting work of the NCAA can be regarded as quite meticulous.

Basically all of Freger's information is recorded in detail.

He is 2.08 meters tall, a third-year player who serves as a power forward, and has a quarter of Lebanese descent.

"Damn it, I can find out all of this." Wayne shook his head. Now he is curious about what he looks like in other people's scouting reports.

Scrolling down, Wayne saw the column for weight.

From the photo, Matt Frager seems to be a less powerful white player. But his weight reached 101 kg

It is 6 kilograms heavier than Wayne who has worked so hard to gain weight.

"Any one of these is heavier than me?" Wayne shut himself off, 6 kg, the gap is really not small.

Moreover, the other party is three centimeters shorter than himself.

You know, in fighting competitions, about 4-6 kg will be divided into one level.

Because the seemingly small 4-6 kg can open up a huge power gap.

If the current Wayne is compared to a lightweight athlete in a fighting competition, he is equivalent to crossing the level to fight hand-to-hand with a welterweight opponent.

However, this kind of unequal confrontation is precisely part of the charm of basketball games.

In fact, Fredger is not as simple as "just come out" as Wayne thinks.

In the latest draft predictions, Frej was ranked in the middle of the second round, basically in the same rank as Tony Allen.

To put it more simply, Fredger is one of the top 60 players among the thousands of players in the NCAA Division I!

Although from the perspective of the NBA, the second-round pick seems to be nothing special.

But within the scope of the NCAA, all those who can enter the predicted draft list are masters.

Sutton is very optimistic about Wayne, so he will not pick an easy opponent to fight with Wayne.

"It's a full 12 catties of meat. It's really not a small challenge. But fortunately, the scout report said that this guy, like me, is also a shooting-oriented power forward. At the basket, he shouldn't be caught. Eat too badly."

Wayne still doesn't know where Frajie is coming from, or how strong this ugly guy actually is.

But just right, this also allowed Wayne to study his opponent without distraction.

This era is not like the future. You can find a bunch of game videos with a random search on the Internet.

In 2003, as an NCAA player, the ways to understand opponents were very limited.

This information is all Wayne can get.

A thorough understanding of this information will be of great help to Wayne's next game.

Don't think that basketball players are a bunch of reckless people who go to the court to fight hand-to-hand.

Before the start of each game, they will do a very detailed study of their opponents and then formulate a strategy.

Basketball is a game in the true sense that both mental and physical strength are indispensable.

But the more Wayne looked at it, the more worried he felt about the 12-jin gap between himself and his opponent.

If the opponent also holds his own scouting report, he will definitely see his weight. At that time, he will definitely strengthen the offense at the basket.

If unfortunately, this guy really blows him up at the basket, and his trick of blocking shots and pretending to defend is very good, he will be exposed! ?

His current strength and inside defensive ability are still very low.

"No, I have to think of a way." Wayne touched his chin, and he couldn't just lose the starting position he won with great difficulty.

Both Tony Allen and Sutton have such high expectations for themselves, and they can't live up to the trust of others.

"By the way, there is still a lottery package that hasn't been opened yet." At this moment, Wayne suddenly remembered that the task rewards that were automatically stored in the backpack after completing the task had not been used yet.

If he could really come up with something useful, maybe he could make up for his current strength and weight disadvantages.

Wayne quickly dropped the materials, rushed to the toilet and washed his face first

This time, don't make any messy things again.

In the system, Wayne nervously opened the B-level lottery package.

According to the introduction, B-level lottery packs can be opened to bronze-level badges or shooting packs.

Shooting bag Wayne already has Rasheed Wallace's straight-arm shooting, and it works very well.

Therefore, he hopes to get a practical badge.

"The face can't always be so dark, open the bag!"

Just like last time, after a flash of white light, a badge appeared in front of Wayne's eyes!

"Great!" Wayne hurriedly looked at the effect of this badge, don't tell me, this time the luck is really good!

"Earn Badge: Exclusion Zone Deterrence (Bronze, upgradeable).

Effect: When interfering with the opponent's shooting within the three-second zone, the interference effect is slightly improved. "

Although it was only a low-level bronze badge, Wayne felt that it was much more practical than the purple one last time.

Isn't that right? With this installed, I will be more confident in defending in the penalty area!

So Wayne took off the previous purple badge without hesitation, and put on the bronze restricted zone deterrent.

Currently, Wayne has only one badge equipment slot. He doesn't know if there will always be only one, or if it can be unlocked in the future.

But at least for now, this only equipment slot will only be reserved for the restricted area to deter!

"It's comfortable. Against him on the outside, I have the advantage of height and wingspan, so I'm not afraid of his shots. I have a threat from the penalty area on the inside. Now, I shouldn't be blown up."

Wayne's confidence immediately surged. In the first official 5v5 match, he had to show his momentum!

In a blink of an eye, it was the day when the warm-up match between the Cowboys and Vanderbilt University began.

When he went out to class this morning, Wayne found that the school was very lively.

Many students are handing out leaflets to promote the game. At the same time, there are also many foreign tourists on campus.

Obviously, this game attracted fans from some surrounding cities to watch.

For one thing, Oklahoma does not have an NBA team, so the NCAA team is the home team for fans.

Second, all Oklahomans want to see for themselves what kind of demeanor the legendary player who defeated Wallace has.

In the afternoon, two hours before the start of the game, when Wayne walked into the arena, he found that it was quite different from usual.

Even sitting in the dressing room, you can feel the din of 14,000 people outside.

The temperature of the stadium and Wayne's adrenaline were soaring.

Wayne was a little nervous. He had never played in front of so many people.

The last time I went to a fan meeting to face off against Wallace, there were only a hundred people at the scene.

This time, it was a hundred times that of last time!

"Okay, let's cheer up! This is our first game of the season. Although it's just a warm-up match, I hope everyone will take it seriously!"

At this time, Eddie Sutton pushed the door open and walked into the locker room.

He clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention.

"First of all, what you are most concerned about, I will announce today's starting lineup first. 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 dazed.

He always felt that the starter should be himself.

But generally speaking, this set of starters did not cause too much commotion among the players, and they were basically convinced.

"Great, Wayne!" Teacher Tony, who was sitting next to Wayne, whispered, and then patted Wayne's arm in celebration.

Wayne nodded with a smile. Although he knew in advance that he would enter the starting list, when this moment officially came, Wayne was still a little excited.

"However, I can't guarantee that the starting lineup in the regular season will be exactly the same as today. Again, my team only speaks with its strength. The purpose of this series of warm-up games is to test the lineup. I just want to lead the team that can win. lineup to play!"

The old Sutton was very serious today, and his goal was very clear: "Even if it's just a warm-up match, I want you to win it beautifully!"

That's the Cowboys style.

Eager to win and driven forward, this team has been deeply branded with Sutton's imprint.

After the head coach had finished speaking, the players continued to put on their gear.

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 the time, this greatly encouraged Wayne, who was playing in a foreign country.

Therefore, Wayne chose the same number that Chairman Yao had on the Mosaic team.

"Okay, this is our territory, it's not up to others to behave wildly, let's go!" Finally, Tony Allen stood up and waved his arms, and the young players with high blood flowed out one after another.

The moment the locker room door was pushed open, huge cheers filled Wayne's ears.

He rushed out of the player tunnel following Tony Allen, and immediately got goosebumps all over his body.

Is this the highest level college basketball league in the world?

Wayne looked around at the 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 of the NCAA game is really warmer than that of most NBA games.

"Wei, what are you doing standing there? Hurry up and 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 also changed from nervousness to excitement.

Isn't it my ultimate dream to stand on such a field and play basketball! ?

So let's make this dream brighter!

"Is he the Chinese student who defeated Rasheed Wallace?"

"My Cao, did you see his arm? I feel like he can block shots even if he is one meter away."

"He's a sophomore? Why didn't I have any impression of him last season?"

In the stands, many fans immediately started discussing Wayne.

After Sutton sat on the bench, he looked back at the audience.

He found that many middle-aged men in suits and leather shoes with serious expressions came to the arena today.

Most of these guys should be NBA scouts.

It's really rare. It seems that this year's Cowboys are also highly anticipated.

During the warm-up, Wayne glanced at the white forward who was practicing post-up singles under the basket, that is, his opponent Matt Frager today.

It doesn't look like anything on the picture, but in reality, that buddy is really strong.

And that blond hair and moustache actually has a bit of Dirk's demeanor.

It seems that a fierce battle is inevitable today.

After a while, the referee signaled the players from both sides to step into the middle circle, and the cheers on the scene reached their peak.

Wayne took deep breaths, trying to relax.

Although he is a sophomore, in a real sense, this game is Wayne's NCAA debut.

At this time, Wayne's system, as usual, evaluated the overall difficulty level of the game.

"Wait, the intensity and difficulty of the game are just normal?" Wayne was stunned after seeing the difficulty assessment.

What about a tough fight?

Is the opponent too weak?

Or are you and the Cowboys too strong now?
