BAB 1 Start

Indonesia in 1993 In a summer in the capital Jakarta, a tall and slender figure stared in awe in the large bathroom mirror.

A large body with growing muscles, the height of the man in the mirror looked more than 2 meters, his eyes gradually recovered and realized what was happening to him.

He remembered that he was on his way home from college by public transportation in the city.

The bus seemed to hit something suddenly. After the intense tremor all he felt was darkness, he didn't know what was wrong with him and what the situation was he immediately lost consciousness.

he was a final year student who needed a job, but he couldn't think about it, that he had actually reincarnated or rather passed.

Memories of the two lives quickly merged in his mind, Now the owner of this body is also called Udin. He was an ordinary man like any other man and his full name was Michael Udin.

Michael Udin immediately understood the situation he started to smile and feel happy but the situation was different he violated the wishes of his parents.

in this life his parents want him to go to college and become a doctor which is the biggest dream of his parents.

In this life, he would never repeat the same mistake, and from this moment on, he had to fulfill all his talents.

In 1993, Indonesia was not a country that was too heavily influenced by basketball, but rather by football, because there were very few facilities for the development of the Indonesian basketball branch.

Michael Udin knew that he had to go to the United States to improve his talent, luckily, he had a little savings and a little effort Udin's parents were able to go.

Michael Udin soon planned to take a plane to America to try to fulfill what he really wanted to achieve.

In America Michael Udin came to Philadelphia, United States.

When he reached the goal of coming to America next Michael Udin had to solve his own life problems first, because the money he had saved was only enough to survive for a few months in America.

Without any life experience in his previous life, it was naturally difficult for him to find work in society. Michael Udin found a food restaurant and started an illegal job.

Why? he does not have a work visa.

Michael Udin is a minor who just arrived can only brush dishes in the back kitchen, but because of Michael Udin's uncomplaining performance only less a week in the back kitchen for washing, he has already started working as an assistant chef, actually in his previous life he had the ability elite level cooking, besides that his family once opened a restaurant so his knowledge of cooking is very rich.

Michael Udin naturally wanted to be on the right track to his dreams, so he came to the lower Merion school in Philadelphia just for that guy.

In his previous life, Michael Udin had heard of many students and players studying in the United States.

It didn't take long for 16-year-old Michael Udin to immediately become an official member of Lower Merion High School. Michael Udin's English is pretty good considering he's not Native American. Why he is so good at speaking English is probably because he was a computer otaku in his previous life.

On the first day of enrollment, he appeared to be very strong to his classmates, yes because he was very tall for most children his age.

American girls who wanted to seduce big guys from foreign countries were blushed by Michael Udin's tall appearance.

After school on the first day, Michael Udin turned down some American girls' invitations to go have fun,

he walked hurriedly to the gym with the equipment he brought with him. The stadium is getting closer and Michael Udin's heart is getting excited.

Pushing the gates of the gymnasium, members of the school team had already started to warm up, Michael Udin was delayed a lot of time because of the tangled up of beautiful American girls.

At this time, Michael Udin naturally attracted everyone's attention, but in an instant Michael Udin looked at the man who looked cynical, yes it was Kobe Bryant the future black mamba.

The young man looked at Michael Udin with a cold look!

Seeing Kobe staring at him, Michael Udin wanted to run away, but he quickly calmed down, and began to prepare and immediately approached the middle-aged man on the sidelines.

"Hey! Big man! Want to join the basketball team?", a loud voice was heard by Michael Udin

The middle aged man with dark skin without hair with a whistle in his mouth walked towards Michael Udin, Of course, this person Michael Udin knew, he was the coach of the lower Merion High School namely Coach Carter. (NT:Imagine the film Coach Carter, 2005)

The 208 cm tall man was a rare talent at any age, so naturally no one would hate Michael Udin.

"Of course! I'm a basketball player! I want to join. Please everyone remember my name, my name is Michael Udin!, You can call me Odin!" Michael Udin said it out loud when asked by Coach Carter.

In the stadium, everyone looked at Michael Udin the big man.

Michael Udin took the initiative to give Coach Carter a high-five, then hit him in the shoulder.

"Welcome to the team I welcome you!, By the way, you can call me Coach Carter!", Coach Carter instantly fell in love with this cheerful big man but he was very skinny.

"Okay, Coach Carter!" Michael Udin said with a charming smile.

"Hahahaha! No need to be nervous let's train with the team today! Show all your strength, if your basketball skills are as good as your tongue, you will definitely pass my test! Sam! Find a temporary locker for this big guy!", Coach Carter called for Lower Merion High School assistant, Samuel Roulette.

"Come with me, big man!" Samuel speaks

"As an Assistant, I must warn you that people who can only play tricks can't last long on my team! "Samuel continued

"This is the culture of the American team. Veterans always want to teach beginners a clear and unforgettable lesson", Samuel immediately advised Michael Udin

"Then let's wait and see!" Michael Udin responded

After a simple and unobtrusive answer, Michael Udin began to change his equipment.

The game uniform in the backpack was still the uniform he took out when he was a teenager. Michael Udin touched the Garuda emblem on his left chest and was a little excited. After all, this was his first time playing in America.

After changing his clothes and shoes, Michael Udin ran all the way to the court.

American high school teams usually only have 12 to 15 members on the first team, but currently there are at least 30 people on the field.

School has just started, it seems coach Carter hasn't picked his favorite list yet.

The American college basketball team is dominated by seniors. Beginners like Michael Udin and sophomores like Kobe were basically only trained on the second team. They are already in the lower grades if they can sit on the bench in the first team is The best among students.

"Gather!" Coach Carter shouts out to everyone

As soon as Michael Udin arrived on the pitch, Coach Carter blew his whistle.

Hearing Coach Carter's loud whistle, the team hastily stopped the warm-up and lined up to stand in front of Coach Carter.

"Your warm-up is so careless like kids you guys are big guys, this is really giving me a headache!, Come on! Go One on one! Find the right person yourself!" Coach Carter started lecturing everyone

One-on-one play was Coach Carter's favorite subject, such training could not only strengthen the basic skills of the players, but also dampen their physical strength.

There were exactly 30 players on the scene, and everyone found a match similar to them in tacit understanding.

Michael Udin, who had just arrived, could only wait for the latter to stand alone, when Michael Udin matched his opponent, everyone looked at him with sympathy.
