Chapter 40 A Conversation with Byron
(The update was not very stable for two days, I am very sorry. Moreover, the update speed is very slow. This is the pirate's fault. I will try to improve it. Thank you everyone.)
Even though, Jack was criticized by thousands of people.However, there are still many fans who like Jack.

Yahoo Sports News for Jack challenged Tim Duncan in front of the media this one question.A survey was conducted.

There are still many fans in the United States, like Jack.Jack's behavior is very in line with the American way of dealing with things. This is a man, and this is enough for a man.What kind of a hero is he who shrinks his hands and feet in the face of provocations?If you are a man, then you should dare to shout out when facing challenges and difficulties: let the storm come more violently!

Then, cheer up and fight them to the end.It's nothing special.

Those reporters really deserve a beating. If you interview, you can interview!Why do you keep asking such mean questions?
Usually, I can't get used to those reporters who take advantage of their power.To tarnish the players, one after another came out to criticize Jack. They didn't believe that a rookie who had just entered the league would do such a thing.It must be that those paparazzi came out to bite people after they were full.

"Jack, you did a good job. If it were me, I might slap them twice!" A player who did not leave a name posted on his own website.

"Jack, you're a man."

"Jack, that's the way you should give them a look!"

……

As a Hornets player, Hornets fans still support Jack.

"Jack, savior of the Hornets, we love you!"

"Jack, Jack, prove yourself with your performance!"

"Time will prove you right, Jack."

...............

While the outside world was disturbing, Jack didn't take it seriously.Jack knew that mouths grew on other people, and it was impossible for him to stop them from saying anything.

Since you can't stop them, why bother to stop them?Go your own way and let them say go!
What's more, what they said didn't affect Jack at all. Life was still the same, the earth would still rotate, and Jack didn't have any loss.

Every day is not only training but also training.Not only did he have to train in the team, but he also practiced in a copy of the system.

Jack is a person who pays great attention to promises. He will definitely rack his brains to realize what he says.This is the most basic commitment of a man.He said he would beat Duncan if he wanted to.

It's just a matter of time for him, and Jack firmly believes that he will do it.

The Hornets have a training camp this morning, and this training session is for the last three consecutive away games.

Because the players have won consecutive games, everyone's training mood is also very high.Especially the head coach Byron Scott is very passionate during training.From the beginning of training, the arena was filled with his cheering and encouraging voices.

Rapid applause, "GO! GO! GO!"

Everyone couldn't figure out how this happened, what happened to the coach today.It's like taking medicine, the passion is boundless, as if it was stimulated by something.

Jack also felt inexplicable.

During the training camp, Jack just wanted to pack his bags and prepare to leave.The big guys who haven't left the training camp, Jack was called by Byron to the office to drink coffee.

When they came to Byron's office, Byron motioned Jack to find a table for himself, and sat down at the table.He also made a cup of coffee for Jack.

Jack has always regarded Byron as his friend, not his coach at all.Jack found a table very casually and sat down.

Obviously, Byron did not regard Jack as his player, but regarded him as an old friend he had known for a long time.Byron found that Jack and his temperament were very congenial, and Jack liked to ask him questions.There are a lot of questions asked, and Jack and Byron are of course much more familiar than other players.Moreover, their tempers are so similar.

They are very unyielding people.Sometimes, when Jack finds Byron's tactical mistakes, Jack will point out without hesitation, and if he is really right, Jack will argue with him a few words.

In these few conversations with Jack, I brought out my favorite coffee to share with Jack.That's the original product he asked someone to come back from Brazil!His favorite!Jack can let him take it out and share it, which shows the status of Jack in his heart.

"Jack, do you know why I asked you this time?" Byron asked, taking a sip of his coffee.

"Shouldn't it be just for the one thing at the press conference?" Jack smiled slightly, and he didn't even think of it as a formal conversation.

"Smart, I just like dealing with smart people." Byron praised, with a serious expression, and continued: "Do you think you really have the capital to challenge Duncan now?"

"No." Jack nodded very honestly, then looked directly into Byron's eyes, and said calmly, "But I believe I will be ready soon."

"It's a very good thing for young people to have self-confidence." Byron smiled, and then his smile dropped suddenly, and said: "But, to put it bluntly, why are you fighting with others now? You have actual actions Are you done? From these few training sessions, I can’t see any improvement on your current foundation. You’ve been standing still, and I can’t even see your progress in the past few days. If there is progress at a snail's pace, does that make sense to you?"

Jack was silent.However, he had to admit that what Byron said was correct.

I have been training continuously these days, but the goal in my heart is not very clear, and I don't have the passion I had when I first joined the basketball team.Therefore, the result of the training is not very obvious.

Seeing that Jack didn't speak, Byron didn't pursue it too much. After taking three sips of coffee, he continued: "If you think your level is just like this, then I can't help it."

"No, no! I will definitely beat Duncan, beat the top basketball stars in the league, and I will definitely become a superstar." Jack retorted loudly.

"Childish, do you think that success will come to you with empty words like you? It's good to have a plan, but have you been determined to implement it every day?" Byron smiled See Jack.

"I..." Jack almost couldn't help but wanted to tell Byron that he actually practiced in the copy of basketball every day.However, this is his own secret, and he cannot let anyone other than himself know it.Jack is suffering and can't tell!
Knowing that his emotions were out of control, Jack took a deep breath to calm himself down.He raised his head, looked directly at Byron, and said, "Coach, I don't want to say anything more. I believe it or not. I will prove you wrong with my actions." Then he turned and left Byron's office .

After seeing Jack leave, Byron also took a deep breath.Facing the back of Jack leaving, he took a deep breath and said: "You are too sharp, you have to become stronger, your time is running out. I hope you can do something else to make me feel better." More surprises are coming."
