The news that the Tornado defeated the Wildcats was like throwing a small stone into the sea, but it just slapped out some water splashes and was soon swallowed by the huge waves.

In the regular season, no matter what situation is, no matter how Duke or North Carolina, everyone will lose in the regular season. What's more, the Tornado only won the opponent's three-pointer. Even if they play again, no one dares to guarantee that they can win again.

Therefore, the attention of Iowa State University Tornado and Angel fell back to the bottom of the sea just after 1 day. However, only Ricard and Moore knew that it was a foregone conclusion that their team had made headlines in various media again.

The reason why Ricard and Moore are so sure is because of the conversation they had in the office yesterday afternoon.

..

Back to yesterday afternoon.

When Ricard opened the office door, Moore was chatting with the man who was applying for the job. Ricard turned his eyes to the applicant, and he was so surprised that he couldn't speak.

"I think you must be the team's head coach, Mr. George Ricard. We just talked about you." Seeing Ricard looking at him blankly, the candidate stood up and prepared to shake hands with Ricard.

Like Ricard looked at Angel at that time, when the applicant stood up, Ricard had to raise his head as much as possible to see the other person's face. In front of the applicant, Ricard and Moore looked like dwarves from the Western fantasy world.

The candidate's face was a little old and his face was covered with stubbornness. The main feature was his terrifying height, and he felt that his head was almost reaching the ceiling of the office. With a kind smile, he bent down and stretched out his right hand friendly.

Ricard still couldn't believe his eyes, so he mechanically stretched out his hand and gently held the other party.

He was about to speak, but he found himself and the guard Austin had become stuttering.

"Please... may I ask, are you Mr. Feverard Divac?" Ricard wanted to slap himself a few times. Such stuttering inquiries was simply too detrimental.

"It's me who is right, I'm willing to serve you." Divac still maintained a friendly attitude and did not put on airs because he was a celebrity.

Who is Vlad Divac? I think only a small number of basketball fans don’t know the name of this man.

When Divac was only 2 years old, he began to play professional leagues in his motherland, former Lanslav, playing as center. In 1986, when he was only 8 years old, Divac was selected for the former Lanslav national team. In the same year, he won the third place in the International Basketball Championship with the team, which also made the world recognize this young man full of potential for the first time. In 1987 and 1988, he also won the third place in the European Basketball Championship and the runner-up in the Seoul Olympics with the national team. It can be said that he became famous at a young age in Europe.

After playing in the former Lanslav professional league for nine years, he was only 2 years old. Although Divac had long become famous in Europe, his goal was more than that. So in that year, he decided to go to a higher stage, and he aimed at the basketball temple on the distant land, nBa.

Therefore, in yi989, when Divac was not yet 22 years old, he resolutely chose to participate in the nBa draft and successfully selected the 26th pick in the yi round of the draft that year by the giants Los Angeles Lakers, and since then he began his long nBa career.

After playing nBa for only 1 season, he became the center of the Los Angeles Lakers and played all the games of the season.

In the 9495 season, Divac, who had been in NBA for many years, has proved that even if he played in this highest level, he would not lose to any opponent. You should know that in that era, the excellent centers in the league were a lot of people, while Divac survived in the league with many strong players as an international player. That season, Divac still played all the games of the season as an identity, and averaged 6 points and yio.4 rebounds per game. Among them, the average score of 4.1 assists per game was even more eye-catching among the center.

Everyone knows what happened next. The Lakers, who have O'Neal, exchanged Divac as bargaining chips to get a high school rookie selected by the Hornets, Kobe Bryant.

Although he performed well in the Hornets in two years, he was buried among many stars.

After two seasons with the Hornets, Divac was traded by the team again. This time, he came to the Sacramento Kings. However, this time, Divac was reborn for the second time and entered people's vision again.

Adelman's Princeton system created by the Kings allowed Divac to shine. When it comes to centers who can pass the ball, the first name most people can think of is Divac. He also went through six seasons of his career with the glorious Kings that year.

In the last season of Divac's career, he was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers again, and became a teammate with the high school genius Kobe Bryant who exchanged his team with him. After the Lakers' O4O5 season, Divac chose to retire, which was a fallen leaf. He started his NBa career in Los Angeles, switched to the yi circle and ended his NBa career in Los Angeles.

As a center forward with a height of 2 meters, he is most praised for his passing skills. In addition, Divac can also be said to be a master of the nBa fake fall world. nBa veteran P.J. Brown even commented that Divac may be the best player in history who is good at fake falls. In response to this, Divac not only did not defend himself, but also admitted this point happily. He also said that he did this when he felt that the referee was indifferent and caused him to suffer losses. Although that was the case, he was definitely the big villain on the nBa field.

When Divac retired, only six players from NBa reached or exceeded yi3ooo points, 9ooo rebounds, 3ooo assists and yi5oo blocks at the same time. Divac is among these six people. If you have no idea about these data, then look at the names of the other five people who reached this data. Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Hakeem Olajuwon, Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett and Shaquille O'Neal. Seeing that Divac and these names are starting with, you can probably guess Divac's status in the history of NBa.

And at present, this legendary center in European basketball is standing in front of Ricard and Moore.

"Then, Mr. Divac's purpose of this trip was," Ricard did not dare to say loudly.

"I'm here to apply for the position of center coach of our team." Divac said calmly about his wishes.

"Boom!" Ricard felt a blank in his mind. A person like Divac is here to be his center coach? What an international joke!

"But...why is this? A small team like us will definitely not meet your requirements financially."

"Of course I did this job not for money, but for the Asian center in your team." Speaking of the key points, Divac's expression began to become serious.

"Anjie? I admit that he has great potential, but I still can't imagine that you will come to apply for a job specifically to guide him." Ricard really couldn't figure out what reason Divac had to provide guidance for Anjie. Ba, there are more young people with more potential than Anjie.

"Actually, I was on the scene when yesterday's game was going on. I came here to see what kind of abilities Michael Beasley, who was praised for being so popular, had. But I saw that my eyes were completely attracted by the center of your team." Divac began to recall his impression of Anger last night.

"He gives people the first impression that he is tall and thin, which looks very much like his compatriot Yao Ming's body shape when he first entered nBa, and also like my body shape when he just entered nBa. So he is not the kind of center who only plays on his body? I continue to pay attention to him with questions."

"As a result, he did not disappoint me during the game. He was a very skilled and very smart guy. Although his opponent was not strong, he also had some problems with technical movements. But as one of the few traditional centers in the American basketball circle now, he was very special enough. Then, the fake fall when he got involved with his opponent made me fall completely like this guy." At this point, Divac laughed proudly. When he was in the league, he didn't even know whether the fall was true or false, let alone the referee. As the saying goes, the play is like life, and he himself was completely immersed in his performance.

Ricard was speechless when he heard this. This old demon actually had a special liking for fake falls.

"I think he has great potential and his playing style is very good for my appetite. Look at Yao Ming, who plays in a similar style to him. If I guide him correctly, Ba will have great achievements on the court." Speaking of this, Divac's tone was full of confidence.

"But, Mr. Divac. There are too many geniuses in this circle, and there are even many potential players from your country. Why do you have a special liking for Angel?" Ricard saw Divac so easy-going, and his nervousness calmed down a little. At least now he will not stutter anymore.

"Do you believe in the feeling? Mr. Ricard. The young basketball players in our country are indeed good, but what I want to guide does not matter to his nationality. In Anjie, I not only saw the technology, but also the ruthlessness in his bones, the potential of a bad guy who does not hesitate to use fake falls for the ball rights. Maybe they are born so humble and peaceful, so his characteristics in this aspect cannot be released. Now, I want to open up his constraints and completely release the potential of the demons in his body. If a center forward has good skills and strong body at the same time, he may succeed. But if he has the same two things as the same

If he was still a villain on the court, I think his deterrence at the basket would be greatly improved. Although Yao Ming is very strong, he is still the target of every player who dares to bully and challenge him. On the contrary, let's take a look at O'Neal. Although Yao Ming can play against O'Neal in the strength duel. But just because O'Neal is also a damn bastard, his deterrence in the inside is much higher than Yao Ming. Everyone wants to avoid O'Neal when he sees O'Neal, but no one wants to provoke him. Yao Ming is born to be a modest and kind person, but occasionally he will explode. However, Anjie, he is born to be a demon!"

"But" Even though Divac said so much, Ricard still couldn't convince himself.

"Don't let Mr. Ricard, I've made a decision. I'm not Anjie's personal coach, but the center coach of this team. In other words, I will also help the others in this team as much as possible. You can make sure to make a profit in this deal. Is there anything else to hesitate?"

Ricard didn't know that Divac not only saw Yao Ming when he was young, but also saw his own shadow when he was young. As an international player, he knew how difficult it was to survive in the American basketball circle. Who doesn't want to see his mantle and spirit be passed down, and who doesn't want to see his legend continue to perform in nBa. This is the biggest reason why Divac wanted to teach Anja.

"Well, Mr. Divac. You've got it all over, and I really have no reason to reject you." Anyway, having Divac as the center coach of these young people will only be beneficial or harmless to the team.

"I think it is necessary for someone like you to hold a press conference for your franchise." Old Moore reminded him of an overlooked issue next to him.

"I don't think this is needed." Divac actually didn't have much interest in these programs.

"No, no, we must hold a press conference. As Mr. Divac, you are so sincere, we must show the respect we deserve." Ricard added.

Even though he had raised this matter to the level of respect, Divac would be more respectful than obedient. He did not refuse again, but readily agreed to the proposal.

..

Under the leadership of guide Robert Cox, Wu Hua had already arrived at the entrance of the University of Iowa Gymnasium. However, their interview request was rejected by the old guard Austin.

"Coach Ricard said that the team is still in a closed state of training. All idle people are not allowed to enter."

The helpless Wu Hua and the guide had to return the same way, preparing to come to the gymnasium early tomorrow morning to block Ricard or Anjie.

Unwilling to give up, Wu Hua walked halfway and looked back at the gymnasium that he couldn't enter. However, when he turned around, he saw Coach Ricard standing at the entrance of the gymnasium, shaking hands with a tall white man and saying goodbye.

Even though the white man was wearing sunglasses, as a basketball reporter sent to the United States, Wu Hua still recognized the man, Vlad Divac!

Wu Hua quickly raised the camera in his hand and started to shoot. He wanted to rush back to the gym and interview what he had just had. However, before him, Ricard had already walked into the basketball hall gate, and Divac also got into a black Mercedes-Benz sedan and left.

"What did you just photographed? Wu." Wu Hua's colleague and guide Cox asked in confusion.
Chapter completed!
