Super Lord of the Rings

Chapter 6 [Arena Test]

Wang Jun thought for a while and asked, "If you fail the test, can you still introduce me to a job? I am very capable, and now I work as a stevedore in the icehouse for fifteen dollars an hour."

"Okay! Isn't it just a part-time job? Congratulations, your Excellency, from now on, you are a stevedore and hygienist at the largest campus supermarket in the University of Michigan, with an hourly salary of twenty dollars. How about it, are you satisfied?"

"Two...twenty dollars?" Surrounded by great happiness, Wang Jun couldn't believe it. "Really, don't you work in a restaurant? Why don't you do such a lucrative supermarket job?"

Abby rolled her eyes. "The supermarket is owned by my family. What's the point of me working at home? And the salary they paid me was almost half that of the regular employees in the store!"

"That's a bit too much..."

She is beautiful, and her family is rich. It turns out that she is a rich and beautiful woman who has experienced life. Wang Jun was a little envious.

It was an opportunity, and he wanted to grab it. But there is also a hidden danger. The beauty thinks that he is extremely accurate in shooting and picked up a treasure. In fact, he is a fat man who has better shooting than ordinary people and has not played for two years. To test his strength, can he pass the test with the 10-minute bonus without shooting the relaxation card?

"What are you thinking? Why don't you talk anymore." Abby acted very forcefully, with a personality like a woman.

She had already planned, and she had to stop Wang Jun no matter what she said. In her opinion, Wang Jun will definitely pass the test, even if he is so accurate tonight, he is almost an NCAA super pitcher. And Wang Jun has great potential to tap, every fat man is a potential stock.

"I've been working all day, and playing golf at night. I'm too tired and distracted. I'd like to take a test with you." Wang Jun figured it out. He didn't want to regret missing this opportunity many years later.

Even if he fails the test, he still has the confidence to get better, and he has a training system in him. Not playing basketball, just working for the supermarket, he has to try.

"It's a deal, Oye!" Abby yelled, fists clenched.

"Abby, I have a question. Why do you care so much about the college team? Is it because you are the team's deputy manager?" Wang Jun was curious.

Abby smiled and said: "Of course not. The head coach of the Wolverines is my grandfather. Last year, his work was not going well and his hair turned gray a lot. I want to help him. As long as he is optimistic about you, he will communicate with the school. Of course Whether it will succeed or not depends on your strength and the ideas of the school leaders."

Abby has a bottom line, which is why she cares about the team.

She was born in a basketball family, and her grandfather David is 66 years old. He loves basketball and doesn't want to retire early. The Wolverines are no longer a strong team in the NCAA since the era of the Michigan Five Tigers. It was not until Kaman played well that there was a sign of rising.

When Kaman was noticed by NBA scouts, the school leaders expressed dissatisfaction with the team's record. If there is no result this year, David's coaching position is also in danger. Abby hoped that her grandpa would succeed and retire by herself in the future, instead of leading the team with poor grades and being dismissed by the school. If dismissed, the old man will definitely feel very uncomfortable.

It is not a problem that players do not have academic qualifications. American universities do not recognize this, and they have always been liberal in entry and strict in exit. In the United States, sports special admissions seldom go to class, and usually rely on someone to write essays and replace required courses with other courses to ensure their grades and credits and meet the requirements of the NCAA committee. This is an unspoken rule, and many universities are doing it, after all, they are still different from regular students.

As long as it is worthwhile, the people in the university will find a way for the players.

Wang Jun sighed, "So that's it. So, you are a native of Ann Arbor."

"No, my parents live in Salt Lake City, Utah, and I used to be there too. The media major in the university there was not good, so I chose the University of Michigan, and my grandpa also has a support here." Abby asked: " Have you got a phone?"

"No."

"Then where do you live? Let's make an appointment to meet tomorrow.

Abby laughed.

Wang Jun thought for a while and replied, "Let me take you back to your residence first. Can we meet downstairs at your house tomorrow?"

"Okay, see you tomorrow at 9 o'clock. Don't be late, you must come."

"Don't worry, I'm never late."

Abby's apartment is on campus. It's a beautiful three-story building with creepers all over the walls.

Wang Jun sighed and said: "All college students live in this kind of place? It's great."

"How is it possible? This is my grandfather's apartment, arranged by the school. It's not big, just two rooms. Students usually share apartments, old buildings. Where do you live, is it far from here?"

"It's not too far, it's only half an hour's walk." Wang Jun smiled wryly, talking about the time when they came here.

"I'm leaving, good night."

"Good night."

Wang Jun returned the same way, remembering the landmark building, which is very close to the library, and passed the basketball hall on the way.

He was very excited because of the work commitment. Supermarket loading and unloading is easier than ice storage. At twenty dollars an hour, you can earn about five thousand dollars a month for eight hours a day. Calculated in RMB, you can earn 40,000 a month! After working for one year, my sister's tuition fee will be paid, and after working for two or three years, there will be hope for medical treatment.

So happy, he sang. "We people, I am so happy tonight..."

"Fuck off! Damn it!"

"What the ****! What is the ghost screaming in the middle of the night!"

A resident of the apartment on the side of the road began to curse, and Wang Jun quickly shut up.

The next day, Wang Jun set the alarm clock, got up early, washed up in the public toilet, changed into clean sportswear, and arrived downstairs at Abby at 8:30. For him, this is an important interview and he dare not be late.

Abby had a good dream last night. She dreamed that her grandpa was very happy after seeing Wang Jun shoot. She also praised her, saying that the team has hope this year.

She didn't have the habit of sleeping in late. When Wang Jun arrived, she was going downstairs to have breakfast. When she saw him, she smiled.

"Yes, I came very early. I made an appointment with my grandpa at 9:30, and I called him last night. He was very happy when he heard about your incident. He will definitely be surprised today." Abby's eyes flickered Light, reminded of Wang Jun's shooting performance last night.

Wang Jun is under a lot of pressure, so he must not be able to do it. His remaining hole card is a shooting training card, with a one-hour time limit, and the effect is unknown.

"Have you had breakfast?" Abby asked.

"No." Wang Jun answered truthfully.

"Let's have breakfast first, my treat."

"No, let me please..." Wang Jun blushed a little: "Thank you for helping me arrange work."

How dare Wang Jun ask Abby to treat him to dinner? He has seen Abby's popularity, beauties invite fat people, and it is estimated that many people will want to PK with him.

The two went to the nearest restaurant and ordered brownies, muffins, scrambled eggs, coffee, and a typical American breakfast, which didn't cost much.

After eating, they went to the arena together.

The basketball training ground has three indoor courts horizontally and vertically, and six movable basketball hoops, which is very spacious. The University of Michigan is a famous sports school, and its facilities are among the best in the NCAA team. The home court used for official games is larger and can accommodate nearly 10,000 people.

The appointment was made at 9:30, and the old man was already waiting in the arena at 20. Wang Jun suspected that Abby's family was short-tempered and had a tradition of arriving early for appointments.

This old man is about 1.8 meters tall, thin but standing very straight, not hunchbacked at all, with a long face, ordinary appearance, and half-white hair. His image is hardly reminiscent of a basketball coach, like an ordinary retired office worker. Wang Jun's pressure was relieved a lot. This man seemed easy to talk to.

"I'm David Hornacek, coach of the Wolverines, nice to meet you, Wang Jun."

"Hello."

Wang Jun shook hands and felt that this person was even more amiable.

"So, let's start? I heard that you can shoot well, but if you want to become a basketball player, you can only shoot. You need to have enough athletic ability." David smiled.

"How to measure?" Wang Jun shook his shoulders, full of energy, although he worked a lot yesterday and his body was a little stiff.

"Test the most basic ones first, you follow me."

They went into a hut on the sidelines and measured their height, weight, and wingspan. Wang Jun is 193cm tall, with a wingspan of 203cm and a weight of 124.5kg.

David laughed and said, "Your wingspan is very good. You are tall enough to play outside, but you weigh inside. You need to lose weight. You don't even need to take a test to know that your fat content is seriously over the standard."

Wang Jun said to himself: "I didn't pay much attention to my diet before, I believe I will lose weight soon."

David nodded. He knew many successful cases of losing weight, so he believed Wang Jun's words. "Let's go out and see your basic skills, dribble and cross run, you know?"

"Know."

Dribble cross-runs, simple tests, warm-up exercises that basketball players do every day. The cruel reality quickly staggered the grandfather and grandson.

Wang Jun hasn't practiced basketball systematically for too long, and he is very unfamiliar with the ball. He kicked the ball out after less than a third of the run.

"Abby, isn't this too unprofessional? Are you sure that he shoots well, is he a talent?" David couldn't laugh or cry.

"Maybe he was tired from work yesterday..." Abby sighed.

After measuring the speed, Abby and Wang Jun arrived at the entrance of the arena, holding a whistle in their mouths, holding a stopwatch, and said, "It's exactly 100 meters from here to the bottom line, and you will run as soon as I blow the whistle."

"it is good."

Wang Jun felt ashamed just now, and was going to do his best to try to impress the coach. Although he is fat, he is not slow, and his legs are very strong.

As soon as Abby blew the whistle, Wang Jun rushed out, started standing up, with amazing explosive power, and quickly reached the maximum speed. A regular basketball court is not like a gymnasium. There is no chance to run 100 meters. It mainly depends on the explosive power of the players. Fast acceleration is very important.

Abby was dumbfounded. She thought that Wang Jun's physical fitness was poor, but it turned out that he had more potential than expected. It is not bad for an ordinary fat person to be able to rush, but if he loses weight at Wang Jun's speed, he will definitely be able to keep up with the rhythm of the NCAA competition.

It's so fierce. She sighed, feeling an inexplicable sense of accomplishment. Isn't this one of the "Four Big Monsters" that people often say on the court, flexible and fat?

The arena floor was shaking. Watching Wang Jun run, there is a wonderful visual sense, not only the speed is fast, the lightning is flint, but also the feet are like lead injections, every step is startling!

David was very surprised. He noticed the shoes Wang Jun was wearing and sighed secretly: flat-soled jogging shoes, and the soles are very thin at first glance. Running on a basketball court with a wooden floor is easy to slip, and it is not easy to accelerate, so he is not pointing his toes. The ground is running, but most of the soles of the feet are on the ground, and every step is very solid. It is very rare to have this speed.

Wait, it's almost the end of the run, isn't he slowing down? I'm afraid this shoe won't stop, he won't hit the wall...
