Volume 1 Western Cowboy Chapter 005 Another Road to Wealth
Seeing Wayne and Tony Allen preparing to fight a bull, the Cowboys players all gathered together to sit and watch the fun.
The result...this was not a bullfight at all, it was a one-sided massacre.
21 to 4, Tony Allen did not lie, he did not show mercy to Wayne.
Teacher Tony, who majored in education, gave Wayne a severe scolding.
A quasi-NBA-level player playing as an NCAA substitute, isn't that a piece of cake?
In front of Wayne, no one would refute you even if you praised Tony Allen as the next Jordan.
Facing Wayne, Tony Allen played as he pleased.
Throughout the game, Wayne only scored two goals under the basket by relying on his height, and then scored one from outside the three-point line, for a total of three goals.
Most of the other times, Wayne was either cut off by Tony Allen before he even raised the ball, or he managed to take a shot but missed due to serious interference from Teacher Tony.
With Wayne's frail body now, he has trouble even competing with guard Tony Allen, let alone handling the inside line.
After all, Tony Allen's confrontation ability is now very close to the NBA level.
Once the intensity of the confrontation increased, Wayne's movements became distorted and the ball lost its accuracy.
Tony Allen is worthy of being the defensive gate who was later praised by a certain Los Angeles blacksmith. His performance on the defensive end is simply terrifying.
After the bullfight, Tony Allen wanted to pat Wayne on the back to comfort his good brother.
But after being defeated, Wayne did not show a depressed expression, but looked...excited! ?

"That... Wayne..."
"Hahahaha, you are really strong, Tony! I am so happy to see you are so strong! This year, we will definitely make a big splash in the March Madness tournament!"
Wayne laughed out loud, and those who didn't know would have thought that he beat Tony Allen 21 to 4.
The corners of Tony Allen's mouth twitched twice. How about taking Wayne to the hospital for a check-up this afternoon?
Problems with the brain are big problems.
Wayne didn't care about other people's eyes, he was completely immersed in his own joy.
The reason why he was so happy about being beaten was that he only scored three goals in the previous duel and obtained 500 growth points!
500 points!
Last night, Wayne worked so hard to shoot hundreds of baskets and only got 90 points. Today, he easily scored three goals and got 500 points.
It's simply huge profits!
Is this what is called difficulty bonus? Is this the difference that occurs depending on the intensity or method of training or competition?
What’s more, the difference between competition and training is that in training, you have to complete the corresponding goals to gain growth points.
But during the game, every time Wayne got a piece of data, he would immediately "cash in".
Three goals, two of which were scored under the basket, each worth 50 points!
The most valuable thing is the three-point goal, just one goal is worth 400 points!
At this time, Wayne had a preliminary understanding of how to obtain growth points. In order to prove his conjecture, Wayne invited another teammate, John Lucas III, to a bullfight.
Lucas also wanted to be in the spotlight, so he readily agreed to Wayne's request.
Although Lucas is less than 1.9 meters tall, according to the rules of bullfighting, as long as one side scores a goal, they will always have the offensive ball.
Therefore, Lucas did not give Wayne any chance to take advantage of his height.
In the end, the result of the game was 21 to 8. This time, Wayne scored 8 goals, all of which were scored under the basket, more than before.
But the growth points he finally got were only a miserable 16 points!
Moreover, before the game started, the system did not prompt that this game had a difficulty bonus.
At this time, John Lucas III was not yet an NBA-level player. In Wayne's previous life, he did not participate in the draft until his senior year and was not selected.
In addition, his defensive ability is incomparable to Tony Allen, and Wayne has such a huge height advantage, so all in all, the difficulty of this game is much lower than just now.
Because of this, Wayne could only get 2 points as a reward for scoring a goal over Lucas' head.
Now, Wayne basically understands the rules for obtaining this growth value.
It's very simple. In the system's evaluation, the stronger the opponent you face, the better the defense, and the higher the overall difficulty of the game, the more growth points you will get!
At least, this is one way to get more growth points.
Now he feels comfortable. Adding the 90 points from yesterday, Wayne has now accumulated 606 growth points.
As long as Wayne has one more duel with Tony Allen, he will basically be able to accumulate 1,000 points for upgrading!
It's simply getting half the result with twice the effort.
Wayne must hold on to this thigh tightly!
Just as Wayne was shamelessly preparing to bully Tony Allen again, old coach Eddie Sutton walked out of the office, clapped his hands, and signaled everyone to gather in front of him.
Suddenly, the stadium, which had been noisy just now, became quiet.
Wayne suddenly felt like his head teacher walking into the classroom.
This is the prestige of a college basketball coach.
"Well, I'm glad no one is late today. Wayne has also returned to the team, and we are now fully staffed. Forget about your vacation, it's a thing of the past. From now until November, everyone must be nervous!"
"In the new season, our goal is to win the Big 12 championship and at least reach the Sweet 16 in March Madness. I know both of these goals are very challenging. But as long as everyone is willing to work hard, there is nothing we can't do."
When Sutton finished speaking, the Cowboys players all roared in agreement.
Sure enough, a chef who can’t make chicken soup is not a good coach.
"By the way, before the new season starts, I will re-evaluate our lineup in all aspects. That is to say, anyone can become a starter or a substitute in the new season. Last season's starters should not relax, and the substitutes should not be discouraged. Let me see the value in you, my team only speaks with strength."
Finally, Eddie Sutton also specifically emphasized something about the team's lineup.
Obviously, old Sutton hopes to use this method to further stimulate the enthusiasm of the players and trigger a healthy competition.
However, most people don't take this seriously.
Although Sutton said anyone could start.
But Lucas, Tony Allen and Graham are basically the starting lineups and no one can shake them.
The strength of these three guys is there, far superior to other players in the same position.
But when Wayne heard what Sutton said, his eyes lit up.
The Cowboys' biggest weakness is actually in the interior. The team currently does not have any particularly suitable starting candidates, nor does it have any interior players whose strength far exceeds that of others.
The strength of several inside players, including Wayne, is equally good.
The road to becoming a starter seems to be getting smoother and smoother.
After Sutton finished his instructions, the trainers began to guide the players in different special trainings.
Generally speaking, players need to complete their own special training in the morning and then start team training in the afternoon.
The content of each player's specialized training is different because everyone needs to improve in different areas.
For example, Lucas, as a guard, needs to train his shooting.
As a wild small forward, Graham will focus on training his ability to attack the basket in confrontation.
And what about Wayne?
Most of what he does now is strength training. He can't even touch the ball. He can only deal with various fitness equipment and lift weights like crazy.
In this era, if you don't train your muscles to be strong, who will use you? Yao Ming has been trained to be a female sun and moon for only a few years after joining the Mosaic team.
However, Wayne was not opposed to this. He even expressed his desire to gain weight to his trainer.
Although he didn't want to become too bulky, he was indeed too thin now.
Every time he completed training, Wayne was able to gain growth points as usual, but they were really pitifully few and far less substantial than a one-on-one duel with Tony Allen.
And so Wayne spent a grueling morning in the weight room.
In the afternoon, Sutton divided the players into several groups and conducted three-on-three cross-confrontation exercises.
As an old-school coach who advocates muscular defense, Eddie Sutton is obsessed with playing competitive basketball.
In that era, the atmosphere in the entire basketball world was actually the same. Fierce confrontation and meat-grinder-like defense were the mainstream.
Therefore, Sutton believes that training without practice and confrontation will not be effective.
After completing special , he would arrange some actual matches in the afternoon for the players to test their training results.
He also strongly encouraged players to compete against each other during training. He often said, "Even in training, you have to treat your teammates as real opponents! If you show mercy to your teammates now, it means sending them to be slaughtered by the opponent on the court in the future!"
With such a college coach, it’s no wonder that Tony Allen became so obsessed with defense in the future.
The three-on-three training groups are random. Today, Wayne was assigned to the third group with Lucas and last season's backup guard Lamar Warren.
In the first practice game, Wayne was drawn to the first group led by Tony Allen.
"This... God is helping me!" Wayne almost drooled when looking at Tony Allen.
During the confrontational training session, everyone wanted to stay away from Tony Allen.
Because if you meet him, nothing good will happen to you.
The Cowboys' No. 1 fighting man is no joke.
Only Wayne was as excited as seeing a cheerleader when he saw Tony Allen.
"Come on, let's make the fire more intense! Come at me whatever you have, Tony!" Wayne talked to himself in his heart, and he was almost about to open his arms.
It turns out that being abused can also give such a strong sense of pleasure...
So... so embarrassing.
After the game started, Wayne team kicked off first.
Since it was a 3-on-3 match, Wayne couldn't directly challenge Tony Allen. But it seemed that as long as Tony Allen was there, the system would default to a game with a difficulty bonus.
It seems that a one-on-one duel calculates the comprehensive strength of one opponent, while a team battle calculates the comprehensive strength of the opposing team.
Wayne originally wanted to launch a crazy attack against Tony Allen right away, but when he found that Sutton was looking at the court, Wayne didn't dare to do anything rash.
He knew that the old coach was examining the candidates for the starting four position in the new season.
If he shoots crazily just for growth points, it will definitely leave a bad impression on Sutton.
So, Wayne followed the rules and set a screen for Lucas, who used the screen to break through Tony Allen.
But Tony’s ability to break away from screens is too strong, and Wayne is limited by his body shape, so the quality of his screens is indeed average.
In almost an instant, Tony Allen returned to Lucas.
Seeing that he was being blocked by Tony Allen again, Lucas had to pass the ball back to Wayne near the free throw line.
Wayne wanted to shoot, after all, he was still somewhat confident in his mid-range shots.
But at this moment, he saw the utility guard Warren get rid of his opponent and cut towards the basket.
And because Wayne pulled the opponent's inside line out, there was no one defending the basket at this time!
Being a cancer on the court would make people hate you, so Wayne changed his mind and passed the ball to Warren who was cutting in.
After receiving the basketball, Warren jumped lightly and easily made a layup.
This pass directly tore through the opponent's defense.
Wayne couldn't help but look at the growth points he had earned, and found that one assist was worth 20 points!
"this……"
When Wayne faces ordinary players, he only gets a single-digit reward for scoring a goal under the basket.
But one assist can earn 20 points!
After Wayne scored the first goal, according to the rules set by Sutton, the ball was exchanged and it was the other team's turn to attack.
Tony Allen shot from outside the three-point line, but the ball missed. Tony at this time was always confident in his scoring ability.
Wayne got a good position and grabbed the defensive rebound, but one rebound is only worth 2 points.
The points earned from an assist are ten times that of a rebound. It’s so magical!
How does this system calculate growth points? It seems that it is not only related to the difficulty of the game.
Three-pointers and assists are so valuable, but rebounds and points at the basket are not rewarded much.
I am an inside player, isn't it my job to rebound and score near the basket? Why do I get the least reward?
Why are there more rewards for three-pointers and assists, which are things that should be done by outside players?
"Bridge Bean Sack".
Thinking about this, Wayne discovered a clue.
He seemed to fully understand the rules for obtaining growth points.
A brand new road to "getting rich" appeared before Wayne.
