Temporary arena.

Michigan State University players are competing within their teams for the NCAA Finals the day after tomorrow.

The black player holding the ball had short hair, his big thick lips kept opening and closing, and he kept talking trash to the defender on the opposite side. Suddenly, he changed direction, and his sneakers rubbed against the floor, making a harsh "squeaking" sound.

His man had successfully completed the breakthrough. Facing the defense, he threw the ball towards the basket without hesitation.

When the ball was about to fly to the top of the basket, a Chinese player with an afro got into the inside, charged up his legs, and rose into the air with his "iron tower" figure. He grabbed the ball firmly with his two big hands, and then

Smashed into the basket hard!

As he pulled hard, the basket deformed instantly.

Michigan State University head coach Tom Izzo watched this scene on the sidelines and couldn't help but think of the first time he saw this beast from China: It was the first on-campus selection of Michigan State University in the new semester last year. This guy

A dunk ripped the basket off an old basket stand.

Now they are using the latest model of basket rack.

The basket was still ravaged into other shapes by him.

This guy's strength seems to have increased a lot!

Well, there is no need to estimate this.

In the observation report of the entire team, it has been clearly stated that since joining the Michigan State University Spartans last year, freshman Jiang Dalin’s strength has increased from 15 bench presses of 84kg at the beginning to 84kg bench press.

25; the maximum bench press has reached 145kg from 125kg at the beginning!

"The scary monster", this is Tom Izzo's new nickname for Jiang Dalin.

In coaching him over the past year, he saw the shadow of Shaquille O'Neal in Jiang Dalin many times...

When Shaquille O'Neal was in the NCAA, he only had this level of power.

Although Jiang Dalin's height is not ideal, he is currently only 2.04 meters, which is nearly 10cm shorter than Shaquille O'Neal of the same age.

However, from September last year to April this year, Jiang Dalin's height also increased, from the original 2.01 meters to the current 2.04 meters. In 9 months, he grew a full 3cm.

He is only 19 years old, and it will not be a big problem if he grows to 2.06-2.08 meters!

Coupled with his afro, some people believe that he is 2.12 meters tall...

Doesn’t this solve the height problem?

In terms of tonnage, Jiang Dalin currently weighs 114kg. In this regard, he has already crushed Shaq of the same grade...

This is not the next "shark", what is it?

No, in Tom Izzo's opinion, Jiang Dalin is even more talented than Shaquille O'Neal!

because……

"I really can't believe that this is the kind of body a 19-year-old can have!"

In general, which 19-year-old inside player is not a fool?

Next to him, Spartans assistant coach Chris Taylor was also lamenting Jiang Dalin's beast-like body.

Tom Izzo nodded with deep understanding, and suddenly thought of something: "By the way, although the game won't start until after, you can take him to have a big meal tonight!"

Jiang Dalin, who has such a powerful body, is a "big eater" and eats more in one meal than two or three adults. This consumption is not something that ordinary families can afford. After Tom Izzo learned about the news, he specially learned about Jiang Dalin.

Dalin’s family situation is that his parents are in China on the other side of the ocean. He only has an uncle here, who is a field worker who works on the crew. He has no time to take care of himself. He is given 100 US dollars in living expenses every month, which is more than enough for ordinary students.

But for such a "big eater", even eating is enough.

Tom Izzo specially applied for a school scholarship for Jiang Dalin, and also introduced him to library work. However, he learned from Jason Richardson that apart from the expenses in life, Jiang Dalin could barely eat enough.

…

However, due to NCAA regulations and the need to worry about Jiang Dalin's own self-esteem, Tom Izzo has no more ways to help him. He can only use the pretext of "preparing well" before and after every battle to let Ke

Lis Taylor takes Jiang Dalin for a feast!

Anyway, no matter how much Jiang Dalin eats, he can’t defeat him, a head coach with an annual salary of one million...

Especially since entering the NCAA "March Madness", I have eaten a lot before every game. Of course, in the "March Madness" crazy game system where you eliminate one game and then go home, every game is indeed a battle!

But now, with the finals around the corner, Tom Izzo feels that Chris Taylor can be more bold in inviting Jiang Dalin to a big meal.

Christelle nodded, not surprised that Tom would have such an idea,

He has seen Tom's care for Jiang Dalin for more than half a year.

"There's no way, this kid is still growing. Since he's on our team, we can't delay him!"

This is Tom Izzo's idea.

Chris Taylor agrees with this idea.

only……

Every time he thinks of Tom Izzo's words and sees Jiang Dalin's body, he always feels a sense of disobedience...

A child who is 2.04 meters tall and weighs 114kg...?

Forehead……

"Boom!"

On the court, Jiang Dalin once again completed a split dunk.

It was the pass from the black man just now.

With this dunk, the time of this intra-team competition also completely ran out, 64 to 30, a massacre by the starting team.

"Hey, man, good dunk!"

As soon as the game ended, the black man happily ran to give Jiang Dalin a high-five.

Jiang Dalin scratched the back of his head and said with an honest smile: "It was you who passed it on, Jason!"

The man he called "Jason" was none other than Jason Richardson, the current captain of the Michigan State University team, who had already been eagerly awaited by the management of four or five NBA teams.

Last year, he led the Spartans to win the second NCAA championship in team history. At that time, he was already a lottery player in the predicted list of the 2000 draft. As long as he participated in the draft, he would definitely be selected in the top 10 of the first round.

However, he unexpectedly did not choose to participate in the 2000 draft. Instead, he stayed at Michigan State University for one more year, intending to lead the Spartans to defend their NCAA title!

In the history of NCAA basketball, only top clubs like UCL and Duke have done this.

There is no doubt that this is a very courageous choice.

As far as the current results are concerned, his choice was very correct. Now, the University of Michigan has entered the finals and is only one game away from defending its title.

As for his own ranking on the predicted list of the 2001 draft, although he is not a sure winner as the number one pick, he is called by many media as "the number one outside player worth selecting in this year's draft"!

This market really couldn’t be better!

Tom Izzo watched the interaction between the two aces in the team and patted Taylor next to him: "Chris, close the door..."

Next, he has to make adjustments to the problems that arise in this intra-team competition. In this kind of temporary arena, there is no guarantee that scouts from Florida will not dress up as cleaning staff and eavesdrop outside the door. Leaking secrets would be bad...
