Tom first asked some questions and made some adjustments about the intra-team match just now, and then said: "We will still practice this tactic tomorrow. If nothing else happens, this will be our main tactic in the finals!"

As soon as these words came out, all the players immediately looked at each other, then looked at Richardson and Jiang Dalin in unison.

In the intra-squad match just now, the starting team won a complete victory. Jiang Dalin scored 22 points, the player who scored the most points in the starting team. Yes, the end point of this tactic focuses on the inside.

In other words, the Spartans will play around Jiang Dalin in the finals...

For the Spartans, who have been focusing on outside offense all season, Tom Izzo's change of formation was beyond their expectations!

Richardson looked calm, and when Tom Izzo asked "Are you clear?", he was the first to shout loudly, showing a determined attitude!

Jiang Dalin's expression didn't change much.

Although I'm a little surprised by Tom Izzo's arrangement.

But since he entered the school team, it has always been about what the head coach says and what he does.

Anyway, he never felt uncomfortable on the court. More importantly, anyway, the head coach took the blame for the loss, so he didn't panic at all.

Tom Izzo didn't say anything more and announced "dismissal" and asked the players to go back to rest. At the same time, he waved Richardson to the front.

Looking at his beloved disciple who followed him in the NCAA for three years, Tom Izzo's eyes were full of memories of fighting side by side in the past. He and Richardson had too many good pasts worth remembering.

There is so much I want to say thank you to Richardson.

Not to mention anything else, the fact that he can get an annual salary of one million this season has a lot to do with Richardson leading the Spartans to win the NCAA championship last season!

It's just a pity that judging from Florida's lineup, changing the formation and using Jiang Dalin as the main attacker on the offensive end will be an unexpected change of formation, and it will also be a move that the opponent does not expect.

Tom Izzo is confident that through this change of formation, he can catch his opponent off guard.

Although this should have been a game where Richardson shined.

This future Spartan star, who has quietly dedicated three years to Michigan State University, deserves a perfect high-scoring performance to bring his college career to a perfect end.

Tom Izzo feels guilty about this: "Man, I'm sorry to make this adjustment!"

Richardson shook his head and smiled indifferently: "I trust any decision you make, Coach Tom. This is the most important reason why I stayed and fought for another year last summer!"

"And... Dalin is indeed a player who can bring surprises!"

Reasonable to the point of being ridiculous!

Tom Izzo was not surprised at all by Richardson's reaction.

That's why he feels sorry.

He is a player who can truly sacrifice for the team.

As long as he thinks it's worth it.

"Come on, man, we haven't had dinner together for a long time. I'll treat you to a big meal!"

After saying everything that needed to be said, Tom Izzo hooked Richardson's shoulder and decided to take him to a high-end restaurant to spend a lot of money.

This is Tom Izzo's way of coaching. He usually likes to mingle with the players and make noise.

Although sometimes this will cause him to lack prestige.

Just like later in 2019, he was openly contradicted by his players on the playing field. This may not be a big deal in the NBA, but it is a very rare thing in the NCAA!

However, the 2000 NCAA championship proved that his approach is feasible!

When they walked out of the temporary arena, Chris Taylor had already taken Jiang Dalin to a nearby Western restaurant.

A dazzling array of food was laid out on the table.

Jiang Dalin was destroying plate after plate of food at a rocket speed.

The sides of the mouth were stuffed full of food, like a big hamster.

If there were such a big hamster...

"Hey, man, eat slowly, no one will compete with you, these are all yours!"

Even though it was not the first time he watched Jiang Dalin eat, Chris Taylor was still shocked by Jiang Dalin's terrifying appetite. In the past, he could only see this kind of eating in some "Big Eater" competitions on TV. It was really too much.

Not human anymore...

However, this is not the only thing that makes this guy inhuman!

Christelle still remembers the first time he met Jiang Dalin. This guy was not the current "muscular man" image. He didn't have eight-pack abs, only one abdominal muscle, and there were no muscle lines on his arms, which were all fat.

At first glance, he looks like a "fat man" who loves sweets, but his body shape is not considered obese...

"Suck~"

Pulling the last mouthful of spaghetti into his mouth, Jiang Dalin patted his belly with satisfaction: "Thank you, Chris, for letting you spend money again tonight. You are such a good person!"

For Jiang Dalin, whose meal may cost more than ten dollars to satisfy him, anyone who can treat him to a meal can indeed be called a good person.

Chris Taylor is a good guy.

In the same way, Tom Izzo and Richardson are also good people!

Taylor waved his hand indifferently and joked: "You are destined to be an NBA player. If I want to treat you to dinner in the future, I may not have a chance!"

This was what he and Tom Izzo said after discussing it to take care of Jiang Dalin's self-esteem.

Similar remarks include "Tomorrow's game is very important for us, of course you have to eat enough" and "Your performance in this game is too good, man, I want to treat our great hero to a big meal."

pause!"

Of course, these remarks were originally meant to take care of Jiang Dalin's self-esteem...

So far, Jiang Dalin has played 20 regular season games in the Big Ten League, averaging 8.8 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 2.1 blocks per game. He has had 9 "double-doubles" and is the "Big Ten" league that has won "

The man with the most "two pairs".

As he has more adapted to the rhythm of the league, his data has increased significantly in the 5 games since entering "March Madness", averaging 11.2 points, 12.6 rebounds and 3 blocks per game!

This kind of performance also made him from being ignored at the beginning of the season to becoming a hot prospect in the lottery area of ​​the draft prediction list!

Now, these words have gradually become their inner thoughts...

The two of them walked back to the hotel, but when they arrived at the hotel door, Jiang Dalin did not go in: "Coach Taylor, you go up and rest first. I have to go to the gym to exercise. I just ate a little too much."

Taylor was not surprised: "Okay, then go ahead!"

Watching Jiang Dalin walk towards the temporary arena, Taylor thought about it and called Tom.

Tom Izzo, who was having dinner with Richardson, was not surprised when he knew that Jiang Dalin went to the temporary arena again after eating: "Dalin is such a guy, with talent and a hard-working attitude!"

This is also the reason why he is willing to try his best to cultivate Jiang Dalin.

Attitude is important!

Richardson, who was cutting steak, watched Tom hang up the phone and asked curiously: "Coach Tom, did Dalin go to training again just after dinner?"

Seeing Tom nodding, he also grinned. The entire team knew about Jiang Dalin's diligence. Most "big eaters" are fat, but Jiang Dalin relied on this diligence to become "slightly fat" from the beginning.

It became the "iron steel frame" like the current iron tower.

It was such diligence, coupled with the obvious progress on the court, that made Richardson willing to contact Jiang Dalin. This guy made him admire him.

But he still had doubts in his heart. After glancing at Tom Izzo several times, he finally couldn't help it and asked: "Coach, I remember when I was a freshman, you clearly didn't let me do high-intensity fitness training. Why?"

Dalin..."

He didn't question Tom Izzo's original decision. Entering his sophomore year, Richardson also began to polish his body. During this period, he came into contact with a lot of trainers and understood that the age of 18 and 19 is the period of development and is indeed not suitable for high-intensity training.

Body building.

Most of the "muscles" in the NBA when they are 18 or 19 years old are innate, and after training, their muscles are more developed than ordinary players, such as "Shark" O'Neal!

But Jiang Dalin was not a "muscle guy" at first, but Tom Izzo allowed him to undergo high-intensity physical training over the past year without any worries, which left Richardson a little confused.

Tom Izzo looked at Richardson's curious eyes for a while before replying: "Because... this is his talent!"
