Champions Creed

Chapter 2 002: Talent

Lu An drove his little sister's original fifteen-handed broken car to send Roger to the school gate, and then gave him a thumbs up: "Good luck in today's selection!"

While having dinner yesterday, Lu An was still worried that Roger would get injured again if he joined the basketball team with his level.

But this morning, he was convinced that Roger would make the basketball team!

If an adult's concept changes dramatically in a short period of time, he must have been educated.

Lu An was severely taught a lesson by Roger yesterday.

I originally went to play basketball with the mentality of making my nephew face reality, but in the end I was beaten 24-0 by Roger in a very humiliating way!

The reason why it was 24 to 0 was that after playing 24 balls, Lu An was exhausted and surrendered directly.

While driving, Lu An recalled the confrontation yesterday.

Young people are just great. Even though their crotch is wet, they are still playing basketball so vigorously.

Well, that's not the point. The point is that Roger's shooting is unstoppable and his dribbling is smooth.

In addition to that, he can run fast and jump high, making it so that no goal can be scored.

Lu An knew that Roger had some athletic talent, and besides playing tennis, he did basketball-related training every day, trying to overcome the psychological shadow that he was afraid to confront and return to the basketball court.

But he never expected that Roger could grow to this level.

With Roger's current level, it should be easy for him to join the school team!

Of course, Lu An wasn't crazy enough to think Roger could play professional basketball.

He was excited because he thought Roger might be able to get an offer from a university through basketball. Any sport that could get Roger into college was a good sport.

But Roger himself has greater ambitions.

What's a college offer? I got George Gervin's basketball talent!

After returning home from playing ball with his uncle yesterday, Roger carefully studied his time-travel benefits.

I found that this benefit had no other function except giving me George Gervin's basketball talent and his combat effectiveness in his senior year of high school.

There is no point-adding interface, no action packs, no badges, and so on.

But, having George Gervin's talent is enough!
When it comes to George Gervin, the first superstar in the history of the Spurs, many people may only know that there is such a player, but they don’t know much about him.

After all, George Gervin had retired before Jordan used his two incredible dynasties to promote the NBA to the world and established his status as the deputy GOAT.

Gervin's fame is not even as good as Drexler's, let alone Jordan's.

But Roger, who usually likes to study historical basketball stars besides NTR ethical dramas, is quite familiar with George Gervin.

George Gervin is definitely an underestimated super scorer. A simple statistic is that in the entire NBA history, the only two great players who can exceed him in the number of scoring titles are Chamberlain and Jordan.

Kobe and McGrady are two great scorers that people know of, and the number of scoring titles they have won combined is just the same as Gervin.

But don't think that Gervin is an inefficient stat-gambler. As a perimeter player, George Gervin has never had a season in his career with a hit rate lower than 45%. After the ABA merged into the NBA, he had a hit rate of more than 10% in 6 of his 50 NBA careers!

George Gervin is the only guard on the list of "career averages of 25 points and 50% shooting."

He and Olajuwon are the only two players on the list who have played more than 30 games in the playoffs, averaging 25 points per game and shooting 50% from the field.

He is an offensive player who can do both in terms of production and efficiency, and he is great in both!

Well-known sports columnist Bill Simmons's evaluation of George Gervin in his book "Basketball History" can make fans more aware of what kind of player he is:
"From the perspective of 'I'm going to score 30-35 points tonight and you can't stop me,' Gervin is the second-best shooting guard of all time, right between MJ and Kobe."

Once George Gervin gets hot, it's estimated that only James can keep him away from him. Don't get me wrong, I'm talking about Jenner here.

Of course, the Iceman isn't a perfect player.

His defense is probably the worst among the top 50 stars, he skips training at an alarming rate, and he weighs less than every girl in Charlie's Angels.

But most of these shortcomings are not due to Gervin's talent, but to his attitude.

So, what else do you need a bicycle for when you can have Gervin’s talent?

Although Roger's combat effectiveness has not yet reached the NBA level, as long as the talent problem can be solved, improving his combat effectiveness is just a matter of effort.

In competitive sports, the most difficult thing is talent.

Now that Roger, who possesses the talent of an iceman, is willing to work hard in training and convert his talent into strength, the dream of becoming a professional player will no longer be a dream!

This also strengthened Roger's determination to join the school team, because no matter how bad the school team is, there are systematic training.

Roger needs this kind of training to help him grow and then impact the NBA!

Although there is only one year left in high school, don't forget that George Gervin's talent is mostly in scoring. And on the basketball court, the most impressive players are those who score a lot.

No matter how many 5X5s Olajuwon scored, it was not as shocking as 81 points in a single game.

If Roger can put up a good enough scoring performance, even just for one year, it will be enough for him to make a name for himself!

This time, I must seize this opportunity and say goodbye to the damn 996 life in the past! As soon as lunch break came, Roger couldn't wait to drag his good friend Li Andy to the gymnasium to participate in the basketball team recruitment.

Li Andy and Roger are both Chinese, and they both like basketball and magazines that are full of older sisters, so they have a good relationship.

Aside from rewarding themselves, the two of them always do everything together.

Although it was recruitment day, not many people came to the gym today. After all, the Bullock High School basketball team was not a very attractive place.

Among the few candidates, the team's head coach Alvin Hawke spotted Roger at first sight.

Hawke had noticed Roger a few years ago because Roger's physical condition was outstanding for a small school like Brock High School where there were not many talented players.

It’s a pity that after Roger was beaten head-on by the second team center Andre, he did not continue to face the challenge, but ran off to play tennis.

What a waste of resources.

Seeing the "famous weakling" Roger come in, some of the basketball team members also smiled jokingly: "Forget it, Skinny Roger, Andre might kill you this time. You might as well go back and practice swinging your racket against the wall. That kind of women's sport without physical contact is more suitable for you."

Everyone still remembered Roger's previous "glorious deeds" and laughed at him.

At this time, a tall and strong black man walked into the gymnasium.

It was during his sophomore year in high school that he defeated Roger, and now he has become the team's top center, Andre Patterson.

He is also the only player on the team with an NCAA Division I prospect.

Andre soon saw Roger, and he did not feel any remorse for having risked hurting Roger.

On the contrary, the brutal block that left Roger with a bloody head has always made him very proud, just like Pippen's dunk over Ewing in 92, which is a symbol of strength.

So, unsurprisingly, he joined in mocking Roger: "Hey, you're back again, useless guy? Where are your ballet shoes? I thought you were here to dance Swan Lake for us."

"Hahahahahaha!" After Andre said that, the scene burst into laughter again.

Everyone treated Roger, a person with a special skin color on the basketball court, as a joke.

People laughed at Roger so unscrupulously not only because Roger was indeed a loser, but also because the Roger in the past was rather cowardly, the type who would not fight back when insulted or beaten.

It is this character that makes him afraid of confrontation.

Li Andy couldn't bear to listen any longer, so he tugged at Roger's sleeve and said, "Forget it, Roger, let's go. Why are we asking for trouble?"

But Roger didn't leave. Instead, he unexpectedly responded:

"The person who should be dancing Swan Lake is you, Andre. Last season, under your leadership, the team won three games in a single season. You are really amazing.

I came here to tell you that even I can easily beat a rubbish player like you. The reason you are the face of Brock High School is because I play tennis. "

Everyone in the audience was stunned for a moment.

Something is wrong. Nine out of ten things are wrong!

When did Roger, the thin guy who has always been taciturn and allowed others to bully, become so tough?
Does he know who he is talking to?

Andre was furious. Roger had touched his sore spot.

With the graduation of Owen Johnson Jr., the only player in Brock High School's history to enter the NCAA Division I league, last season, the team began to play around Andre as the core.

The result was that the team's performance plummeted and they couldn't even get out of the division.

The gap between the two generations of cores is greater than the gap between the main goat and the secondary goat, which makes Andre very embarrassed.

But Roger brought up this embarrassing incident in public, embarrassing him in public.

Andre clenched his fists. How dare this bastard! ?

Then, Roger deliberately looked at the team coach Hawke: "Coach, will Andre play in the tryout later?"

Hawke has always believed that only actual combat can test a player's strength. Therefore, there are no messy tests in the recruitment of new players at Brock High School. All the candidates who participated in the selection directly played against the second team.

Andre is now a first-team player, so logically he doesn't have to participate in this kind of competition.

But Andre, who was irritated by Roger, volunteered: "You will see me on the court, damn idiot! Coach, don't worry, I won't dirty your floor this time!"

Hearing that Andre was about to go on stage, Andy Li trembled all over: "Roger, I had thought it through. With your size and my directing talent accumulated from watching countless films, we will definitely make a name for ourselves in the San Fernando Valley! But now, we both have to die here today!"

Roger:? ? ?
Why are you suddenly trying to trick people into joining the sea?

To Li Andy's surprise, Roger did not show any panic on his face. Instead, he patted his shoulder confidently and said, "Forget about the San Fernando Valley. I promise that you will experience the most satisfying victory in your life in a moment."

"Victory? Team Two is hard enough to deal with, and now there's that monster Andre joining us. How can we win?"

Roger answered without hesitation: "The way to win is simple, you and the others just pass the ball to me later."

"Ah?" Li Andy stared at Roger, who looked confident, for a few seconds.

If there was nothing wrong with his ears, then there must be something wrong with Roger's brain!
