One Guard

Chapter 5: Surprising Physical Test

A black-haired woman was sitting at the dining table, perhaps to impress the guests, today Yiyang's mother specially wore a white dress. Although, this skirt still looks cheap.

But Happy discovered that Yiyang's mother looked so young, with a petite figure and a pale complexion. The mother seemed to be the only color in this dark ghetto, because... because she was really beautiful.

"Hello, Mr. Harpy, I prepared breakfast for you. You must have not eaten when you came so early in the morning." This strong woman who lived alone in the United States with her child got up and walked to the kitchen, just as Yiyang said , she brought out some slices of toast and a glass of milk.

"Thank you ma'am, the coffee you made for me last time still made me linger." Happy took the breakfast politely, and the hot milk seemed to refresh him who hadn't slept much in the past few days.

"The purpose of my visit this time..."

"We are willing, sir! My son is willing to try out at Butler University! He is a good boy, and his father was a professional basketball player. He will definitely satisfy you!" Yiyang's mother suddenly became excited When she woke up, she knew how rare the opportunity to go to university was for Yiyang.

This woman didn't expect Yiyang to use his full scholarship to pay off the debt, but hoped that her children would be able to get on the right track from now on.

"Your father used to be a professional basketball player?" Happy looked at Yiyang in surprise, and Yiyang just nodded slightly.

Happy looked back, no wonder this kid who has not received much systematic training can be so powerful. It turned out that the blood of basketball already flowed in his body!

After that, Happy took out the documents again and discussed the details of participating in the trial training with Yiyang's family.

After arriving in Indianapolis, all the expenses of room and board will be reimbursed by Butler University. In addition, they will also hire teachers from the local high school to teach Yiyang, so as not to delay the class.

But it also means that his physical fitness cannot stay at Butler University. In addition to his performance in the trial training, his college entrance examination results must also meet the standards.

This is undoubtedly a double test for Yiyang, basketball and study, Yiyang can not fall behind.

If Yiyang can impress the coach on the basketball court and get enough grades to enter Butler University, then as agreed, Butler University will give Yiyang a full basketball scholarship. Not only does Yiyang not need to spend a penny to go to college, but he also has extra funds for turnover.

Everyone was very satisfied with this arrangement, and Yiyang's mother had a rare happy smile on her face. Happy, who was equally excited, urged Yiyang to go to Indianapolis with him tomorrow. He couldn't wait to see the real strength of this kid.

※※※

On both sides of the White River, in the middle of Indiana, there is a city that looks a little old, but still prosperous.

The fourth largest state capital in the United States, a place where the relationship between people of color and whites is relatively relaxed, Indianapolis.

When it comes to college basketball in Indianapolis, the first thing people think of is Indiana University. They can show excellent performance every year, and they have also sent a lot of talents to the NBA.

But in recent years, Butler University, which is only an hour away from Indiana University, has quietly risen.

They have a young but wise marshal Brad Stevens, and Gordon Hayward, a talented player known as the first white small forward. And now, they will also have the sturdy, tall and long-armed Asian defender Yiyang next to Happy.

Yiyang, who had just arrived in Indianapolis, did not show much curiosity about everything around him. Happy had brought countless children here, and almost every one of them would look around after getting off the plane, pretending that this strange environment into my head.

But after Yiyang got off the plane, he only said one word to Happy: "Let's go to the basketball court.

"

Butler University is just 15 miles, or a 25-minute drive, from Indianapolis International Airport. Taking a taxi through a beautiful small forest, Yiyang saw the huge campus of Butler University.

Butler University is located in the middle of three hills, surrounded by green. In terms of beautiful scenery, the University of Batra is no worse than Indiana University.

Yiyang, who was carrying a suitcase, looked at the gate of Butler University, and couldn't help opening his mouth. Happy smiled at the side, this is the expression that a child should have on his face.

Since Yiyang is not yet a formal student at Butler University, the school did not prepare a dormitory for him. These few days, Yiyang can only live in Stevens' office temporarily. Therefore, Yiyang walked into the arena of the Bulldogs of Butler University wearing casual clothes and carrying a suitcase.

At this time, because it was a holiday, no one was training on the basketball court. But a young man in a suit and leather shoes greeted him with open arms.

"Yeah! We've been waiting for you for a long time!" It was none other than Brad Stevens, the coach of the Butler University Bulldogs!

Stevens wanted to give Yiyang a hug, but unexpectedly, Yiyang walked straight past him.

Spotlights, clean wooden floors, huge stands, large electronic screens, high-quality baskets... These things make Yiyang feel as if he has entered heaven. He had already focused on the basketball court, and as for Stevens, he had to turn and hug Happy.

Although Yiyang was also a starter for the school team when he was in high school, the conditions of the field at Bayless High School couldn't be compared to here.

For a child who has been living in street basketball courts and high school basketball courts since he was a child, being able to play in such a place is like a dream!

Yiyang couldn't help squatting down and touching the spotless hardwood floor. At that moment, he felt as if he had been electrocuted.

"I must play in such a place!" Yiyang vowed inwardly!

"Also!" It wasn't until Happy yelled that Yiyang recovered from his own small world.

"This is the head coach of our team, Mr. Brad Stevens."

"Oh, what are we going to do next? There's no one here, how are you going to test my abilities?" Yiyang didn't greet Stevens respectfully. Surviving in a place like Wood District, Yiyang had already Forgot what respect is.

Stevens wasn't angry, either. He knew normal people wouldn't do things like beat up teammates and get kicked off the basketball team. This kid just needs to be corrected, and he's going to get better.

"No one is fighting you today, you have to fight yourself." Stevens walked up and patted Yiyang on the shoulder. This kid seems to be stronger than he looks in the video!

"With myself?"

"Physical test data, we need your physical test data first. The pictures on the basketball court will deceive people, but the data will not. Go to the locker room to prepare. I hope you can show enough performance to impress me." Stevens knew , for a child like Yiyang, your tone should be a little tougher, but it's easier to communicate. Not everyone is a good boy like Hayward. For different players, the coach must also use different communication methods.

Sure enough, after hearing what Stevens said, Yiyang went straight to the locker room without too much nonsense. Stevens looked at Yiyang's receding back, folded his hands and laughed loudly. "You know what, Happy, I like this kid!"

"Barefoot is 1.88 meters tall, and shoes are 1.91 meters tall!" On the basketball court, several staff members are measuring various data for Yiyang who has changed his equipment.

"It weighs 82 kilograms!"

"Hmm... lost some weight. But it's okay, he's very strong." Stevens listened to the data and evaluated silently in his heart.

"Armspan...a wingspan of 2.07 meters!" This time, even the staff paused, thinking he had read it wrong.

"Excellent!" Stevens grinned.

"100-meter sprint, 10.33 seconds!"

"3/4 field sprint, 3.34 seconds!"

After running, Yiyang looked at Stevens who was on the field, and now, the stunned person turned into this young marshal.

You know, Yiyang is still just a high school student, and God knows how fast his speed will become after he has played in college for a few years! Yiyang's data is almost close to that of Wall!

Who is Wall, Wall is the number one high school student in the United States! He has not yet entered college, but he is already the top pick in next year's NBA draft! His speed is usually unmatched by children of the same age!

It's no wonder that this guy can bite the breakthrough Wall in an instant during the game, because he is not much slower than Wall at all!

After that, the staff moved to touch the high equipment. Yiyang looked at the equipment blankly, then at Stevens.

"See the little piece of paper on the machine? Just jump as hard as you can, and we'll see if you can get there." Stevens' hands were already trembling slightly, what else could this guy bring to him? What about the surprise?

First of all, it is a vertical jump without a run-up in place. Stevens saw that the muscles on Yiyang's calf tensed, and then suddenly loosened!

Yiyang seemed to be thrown into the air by a spring, he raised his arm and slapped hard. The data was immediately displayed on the machine that tested the bounce, 84 centimeters!

"He can reach this height by jumping in place, and his physical fitness is absolutely top-notch in the field of student players!" Happy whispered in Stevens' ear.

"No, Happy. As long as he trains properly, he is likely to be at the top of the NBA in the future!"

Happy looked at Stevens in surprise, NBA? Does this guy even know what he's talking about?

"The maximum run-up height is 96 centimeters!" At the moment when Stevens and Happy didn't pay attention, the staff once again reported a data that stunned everyone.

After Yiyang landed, he looked at Stevens who was recording data in a small notebook. "When do we start playing basketball, this stuff is so boring."

"Hurry up kid! Tomorrow at four o'clock in the afternoon, come here for training!" Stevens' expression became serious, and he knew that the kid in front of him might be more terrifying than he imagined!

The NCAA may not be the limit of this Asian guard. Maybe... maybe, he can become a professional player just like his father! A professional player who can gain a firm foothold in the NBA!

Yiyang spread his hands in disappointment, and did not forget to roll his eyes at Stevens. After waiting for so long, I didn't even touch the basketball. Running around, jumping around, these things can't see anything at all.

Stevens looked at Yiyang who was walking towards the locker room easily, but beads of sweat dripped down his forehead.

A monster, unknowingly, I found a monster...
