Chapter 1 Lin Han
"Pick-roll! Pick-roll! Pick-roll!"
At this time, the basketball hall of Utah Valley Community College was filled with the sound of sneakers rubbing the floor and the crazy shouts of coaches on the sidelines.
Utah Valley Community College, as an American junior college, although the English name is ‘Utah Valley Community College’ and a College is added to the name, but the level of this College is too low, and it cannot even be a NCAA First-Level Alliance. In other words, the schools that can enter the NCAA First-Level Alliance are almost 400 undergraduate schools in the United States. As for other junior colleges and technical colleges, they can only play the second-level alliance or even have no qualifications to be a second-level alliance. Utah Valley Community College is a junior college that cannot even be a NCAA Second-Level Alliance. From this, it can be seen that the level of this school is.
Although Utah Valley Community College is an extremely garbage college in the United States, as a very developed sports and entertainment culture in the United States, even the most garbage schools have basketball teams belonging to this school. What is very surprising is that although the level of this school is fourth-rate or even less than that of the United States, the basketball team of this team is not the last level of all universities in the United States, and is even third-rate or second-rate.
Not long ago, the school's basketball team defeated the University of Utah in a friendly match with the University of Utah, which almost shocked the entire Utah. Although Utah is an underdeveloped area compared to other states in the United States, basketball is also an underdeveloped area, but even so, in Utah, the University of Utah basketball team is the top, it can be said to be the best in the state, and even in the United States, it is also a strong team.
In this case, before the March 1st of the University of Utah came, he wanted to find some garbage teams to warm up and keep their status and find confidence, but unexpectedly, such a result occurred.
So, although it is March now, and the crazy March of American basketball is about to begin, and most basketball teams that cannot participate in the NCAA Championship are almost on holiday, the Utah Valley Community College basketball team is still busy at this time, especially on March 8, the basketball team also welcomed a group of special guests.
And it is these special guests that all the players of this team are extremely excited, even excited at this time.
After all, for such a late American school, there are not many opportunities to stand aside and watch them play as they play.
Although NBA is far away from them, even almost impossible for these players, it is also very good to be able to enter NCAA if they can perform better in today's training matches. After all, this not only fulfills NCAA's dream, but also gives them a chance to go to undergraduate. If they can really seize this opportunity, it is also an opportunity to change their life and destiny.
After all, like the Celestial Empire, students in junior colleges have the opportunity to advance to undergraduate studies.
Of course, as a member of this team, Lin Han was not very excited at this time. For him, he was different from others. He was not a real basketball player, or he had only been in contact with the sport of basketball for less than a year. For him, in less than a year, he had almost learned some basic basketball rules and learned how to dribble, layup, and shooting, and other fancy skills or basketball skills.
For Lin Han, not to mention Jerry Sloan and Rick Majors, two famous coaches of NBA and NCAA, cannot arouse his interest, even if Michael Jordan, the top American basketball player, is now standing in front of him, he has no interest at all.
What Lin Han is most interested in now is when he can earn more money.
After all, this is the United States, this is a paradise for the rich, and this place only belongs to the rich. Lin Han’s current dream is to become a rich man.
"Brother Ma, you're doing it beautifully"
When the coach on the court asked him to cooperate with Ma Jian, who was holding the ball, when facing the coach's tactical requirements, Ma Jian almost ignored it and took two steps outside the three-point line, and pulled it out eight meters away from the basket, making a jump shot.
After the team's head player made a jump shot this time, he turned his head contemptuously and shrugged at the head coach of the team on the sidelines. At this time, Lin Han, not far from Ma Jian, smiled without hesitation, and faced the extremely coquettish team leader without hesitation, and seemed to have not seen the almost murderous eyes of the other eight players on the court at this time.
There is no way, who made this brother Ma mentioned by Lin Han his boss?
After graduating from high school last year, as a high school graduate with extremely poor grades, Lin Han had no chance of entering an American university. Besides, even if he had the grades of entering a university, he would not have the money to enter.
Under such circumstances, Lin Han, who had found a job at McDonald's with his good height and appearance, was appreciated by Ma Ge in an accidental encounter with Ma Ge, and became Ma Jian's translator and coach. It was also the first time he came into contact with basketball.
In the United States, there are many Chinese living, but not many people speak Mandarin with Lin Han's standards, and even less money is missing. Therefore, this basketball player named Ma Jian was still very satisfied with Lin Han and offered a high salary of US$15,000. Although it is much worse than the annual income of US$23,000 per capita in Utah, it is better than Lin Han's work at McDonald's and it is also easy. After all, this job is to let him work as a book boy for Ma Jian to accompany him to study and play basketball.
So, Lin Han is still very grateful to this Ma Ge who gave him his first salary. Moreover, Ma Ge is indeed very awesome. He has almost played in Utah in this year. Not to mention that some teams in Utah’s primary schools were beaten to pieces by him, even the fourth-place power forward at the University of Utah was beaten by him a few days ago.
Therefore, Lin Han didn't think anything was wrong with his flattery. As for the opinions of other people on the team, Lin Han didn't care, after all, they didn't pay Lin Han's salary.
Of course, the reason why this garbage school's garbage team is so crazy and strong this year has tortured Utah teams except the Utah Jazz. In addition to the team's super forward Ma Jian, who averages 18 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists per game, the team also has another super white guard who averages 19 points, three-point shooting percentage and shooting percentage of more than 50%, David Patrus.
Today, the team was able to welcome so many NCAA scouts, even Jerry Sloan and Rick Majors were dispatched because of these two people. Similarly, these two people are also recognized by the team to reach the NCAA level and even have the opportunity to enter the NBA.
"The coach of a small junior college also wants to show off, but he doesn't see how much he has."
Facing Lin Han's high-five, Ma Jian also gave a positive response, but the Chinese basketball player kept muttering something. In this garbage team, Lin Han is his only friend. As for the others, they are almost all enemies, including coaches, especially during this special period.
After all, for these players, they want to perform in front of two famous coaches, Sloan and Majors. Similarly, as coaches, they must have the same idea, especially Lin Han, who doesn't care much about basketball, knows that Jerry Sloan, the famous coach of the NBA, seems to like playing pick-and-roll the most. In this case, it is understandable that the coach on the sidelines kept calling his players to show pick-and-roll offense. This is indirectly telling Jerry Sloan how awesome his team's pick-and-roll is.
But whether it is Ma Jian or David Patrus, the leaders of these two teams are almost unlucky. For these two, does such intensity require pick-and-roll? There is no need for them. They do not need any tactical cooperation or support from other players. They can show their talents to the fullest.
"Haha, that's right, with Brother Ma's strength, you don't need to play with those low-end things at all. Look at the fat man on the sidelines, not giving you a thumbs up with excitement?"
Faced with Ma Jian's disdain for the team's head coach, Lin Han also smiled and said, and Ma Jian was very happy when he saw the fat man Lin Han's words on the sidelines as Lin Han was very satisfied with his performance. After all, he could not get the head coach of Utah Valley Community College, but he still respected the head coach of the University of Utah who has always admired him very much. You must know that it is not easy for him to stay in the United States. Although he is a national player in China, Chinese basketball players can't make much money at this time. The money he paid Lin Han's salary and tuition fees was paid by the head coach of the University of Utah for helping him. This is also the reason why he is willing to stay in the United States to play such a low-level game, because the head coach of the University of Utah promised him that after playing such a garbage game for a year and after learning English well, he recruited Ma Jian to the University of Utah.
Of course, at this time, Majors admired Ma Jiang's "lipping" just now, but in fact, Jerry Sloan on one side also had his eyes shiny. Obviously, the style of this Chinese player is very in line with the needs of his team. In fact, the main reason why he came here today was also for this Chinese player. But he knew that this Chinese player had been booked by the fat man next to him, so he did not show any other emotions.
This practice game is not so much a practice game as a show match between Ma Jian and David Patrus. The others are supporting roles, and even if they want to intervene, they are not qualified. In the end, at the end of this game, Ma Jian's team won by five points, and Ma Jian personally scored a super high score of 40 points. Today, his feel is excellent, and David Patrus on the other side is not bad, scoring a high score of 33 points. As for Lin Han, he secretly scored 2 points behind Ma Jian and gave 5 assists. As for other data, all of them are zero, no rebounds, no steals, no blocks, and no mistakes or fouls. It can be seen that after he took the ball, he handed it to Ma Jian directly, without dribbling, no running position, and no defense. Of course, he can't run or defend.
Lin Han's performance naturally could not get the attention of Jerry Sloan, let alone Jerry Sloan was surprised to see his bones, and suddenly he would appreciate him for no reason and promote him to the NBA. Then Lin Han rose step by step in the NBA with Sloan's support, killing gods and Buddhas, stomping on Jordan, punching Ma Long, and knocking down a big dynasty. This is just the plot of the novel, but in fact, Lin Han himself did not have such an idea.
He had no desire for NBA because he couldn't make money. He knew that players like Ma Ge could make a lot of money by entering NBA. He could only lay the floor when entering NBA, and it would be better to stay at McDonald's. So, in Lin Han's heart, he had already been preparing to finish this job and went back to McDonald's to work as a stud worker.
"Boy, don't think that if you get on Ma Jian, you will have the chance to enter NCAA. There is no possibility at all. Even if you go through the back door, others will not want you to be a person who can even dribble. " "That's right, a person who has played basketball for a year also wants to enter the highest hall of basketball. This is simply an insult to the sport of basketball."
"Now I'll give you a chance to get out of the basketball team, you're not welcome here!"
Of course, although Lin Han has no ambitions for entering NBA or NCAA, others do not think so. For others, Lin Han is their biggest opponent.
After this training game, as the most brilliant star players, Ma Jian and Patrus were naturally surrounded by many scouts and even other NCAA coaches, while other players were ignored. This also shows how popular these two are in Utah now. Perhaps the top prestigious schools such as UCL or North Carolina Duke look down on these two, but many other NCAA teams are willing to give scholarships to these two.
In this case, it is not difficult for these two people to promote one or two coaches to follow them to college. Although such coaches naturally do not have a full scholarship, this is a place to go to college to undergraduate, let alone realize their dreams.
Therefore, after Lin Han completely "occupied" Ma Jian, it can be said that Lin Han is the most annoying person these guys have, because in the eyes of these people, Lin Han made them lose the opportunity to contact Ma Jian.
Of course, for Lin Han, they couldn't get in touch with Brother Ma because Brother Ma was very bad in English, and in fact, Brother Ma was not interested in paying attention to them.
However, it is obvious that with Lin Han's personality, he naturally would not explain anything to these guys. Whether it is being excluded or targeted, it is not important to him, because these guys will not give him the opportunity to make money.
So, facing the sarcasm of these people, Lin Han turned around and walked out of the main gate of the arena as usual, preparing to go back to the locker room to change his clothes.
"What ncaa, what nba, genius is willing to go, a group of idiots who can only shout dreams"
Also as usual, Lin Han's mouth showed disdain for these guys again, and these guys were almost tiring when they looked at Lin Han's back.
"Fvck, I really want to fuck this bitch"
At this time, almost everyone had this idea in their minds. At this moment, when Lin Han was about to reach the door, a basketball suddenly flew out of the crowd and flew towards Lin Han, and then with a bang, under everyone's horror, the ball was broken and fell.
Lin Han, who was lying on the ground, also felt something shot into the back of his head. However, he didn't have time to think about it. The young man who was hated by his teammates and was then inexplicably plotted against him lost consciousness.
