0017: [Domineering Hillbilly]
The news that the Stanford Scarlet team defeated the Southern California Ducks soon caused the entire campus to boil. There has always been a bad blood between Northern and Southern California. In basketball, the Southern California region has always been more dominant. So whenever Stanford beats UCL or USC
, will always cause shock on campus.
As the biggest contributor to this competition, Li Zhen received a great welcome in the school cafeteria.
Classmates kept coming over to high-five him or strike up a conversation and take photos with him. Most of the high-fivers were boys, while most of the people who chatted up and took photos with him or even invited him to parties were girls.
Li Zhen is quite uncomfortable with becoming a campus star.
Especially when... a girl exaggeratedly shouted, "Wow! Do you basketball players eat so much?" He even blushed with embarrassment. He looked at the mounds of steaks on the table and quickly explained: "I might
It was an accident."
"How do you manage to eat so much and still be so thin?" Girls quickly seek tips. Keeping in shape is always the first topic for women.
Forehead….
"Wow, your hands are so big. Are they like this even when playing basketball?"
Suddenly, a girl picked up his hand and stretched out her hand, grabbing his hand to compare its size... Actually, she just wanted to experience the feeling of holding Bruce's fingers tightly.
This soon caused girls to follow suit.
Li Zhen was really embarrassed to the extreme.
He hurriedly wolfed down the food on the table, and then quickly ran to the training hall.
At this time, he did not know that the photo of himself eating 22 pieces of steak had been posted on Facebook's Stanford campus group. This skinny big eater soon became the focus of discussion, and it spread to the entire online world.
Trend: After all, there are very few people who can eat so much and still be so thin. Moreover, his palms are so big.
All this is in line with the characteristics of network communication.
"Are your hands big?"
When Li Zhen came to the training hall, he noticed his hands seriously. It turned out that his palms were larger and longer than those of people of the same height. Now that he observed carefully, he found that they were indeed much larger than before.
He subconsciously grabbed the basketball with one hand, and then he discovered that... he could hold the basketball easily, and it would not fall off even if he shook it up and down.
Wow!
He screamed. Suddenly he remembered what the gifted baby said that day...it turns out that the appetite increased greatly and the size of the palms was not just something to say casually.
He suddenly became happy.
A pair of big hands is extremely helpful to the ball handler. He can better control the basketball. Whether dribbling, holding the ball, or finishing a layup, he will be more stable.
He deliberately measured it and found that when his palm was open, the width spanned 24.2 centimeters from thumb to little finger, and the length from wrist to middle finger tip was 22.3 centimeters.
This is already far beyond the established standards.
You must know that the average man in the United States (average height 178 cm) has a palm length of 18.9 cm, which is more than three centimeters... This is a palm. The concept of one centimeter is not equivalent to height at all.
"It seems that you are a trustworthy man."
Klisman, a German-born trainer who assisted him in measuring his palms, said with a smile: "There is a proverb in America: You can't trust a man with too small hands."
As soon as he finished speaking, Scott's joking voice came from behind him: "Hey, damn German guy. Are you laughing at my idol, Mr. Kobe Bryant?"
Chrisman shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "If you use this person as evidence, it just proves that this proverb is very reliable."
screw you!
Scott murmured and ran to hit the iron. He knew that this matter could not be discussed in detail. If it were really broken down and discussed in detail, it would be really detrimental to his idol.
Li Zhen laughed twice, and then started some stretching and strength training.
Soon, Li Zhen was surprised by Chrisman, because he discovered that Bruce could only do 60 kilogram bench press twice at most, but now he could grit his teeth and hold on to five times.
This is an amazing improvement.
Although this is child's play for Scott, who can easily lift 90 kilograms of bench press. But compared to Li Zhen's size, this is already a very valuable achievement.
"Your recent progress has been really great." Klisman sincerely praised: "This is why you were able to become the savior in the last game. You must always remember that the sweat in the gym will never betray you.
The essence of body and sports is to make oneself stronger and more alert..."
Klisman went back to discussing the benefits of fitness.
Li Zhen even suspected that he was not of German descent. Moreover, if the school had not spent a lot of money to hire him, he was really worried that the next second Chrisman would suddenly ask him to buy a "private training course".
But no matter what, Chrisman is a good person.
…
While Li Zhen was actively training for tomorrow afternoon's game, a forward from the University of Oregon named Tinsley caused trouble on the Stanford campus.
This buck-toothed black guy who thought he was very handsome suddenly felt an inexplicable surge of self-confidence when he was in a restaurant on campus. He even went to strike up a conversation with a female architecture student, and even made some crude remarks that he found humorous.
Lovely words... like that my thing is so big that I can take her paddling in the most beautiful paradise.
This made the Stanford top student feel inexplicably humiliated, and he angrily accused him of disrespecting women.
But this player from the street didn't take it seriously and continued to pester him.
Then, the girl's boyfriend showed up at the right time, and the verbal dispute quickly escalated into a physical conflict. During the conflict, the young man named Spiegel was knocked to the ground.
Then security personnel got involved.
Although the school dealt with it as soon as possible, and the University of Oregon also quickly made compensation and apologized, the incident still spread very quickly throughout the campus, which made all Stanford students angry: a player from out of town actually did this on his own campus.
No one can tolerate such an outrageous thing.
Soon, the anger was transferred to the Oregon Ducks.
Everyone hopes to see the Crimson team use their strength to teach these country bumpkins who don't understand etiquette a profound lesson in their own arena.
When this sentiment was conveyed to the basketball team, Scott and others became extremely angry, and they couldn't wait to go on the court and teach the Oregon players a lesson.
But... Jamie Lin is worried about this.
The anger on campus has tied the team to the point where it must win to vent. Once it loses, this anger will come back to the team: everyone will feel that this team does not deserve everyone's support and does not deserve to be called Stanford.
of pride.
However, the current situation is: Stanford's head coach is away, two core players are absent, and their strength is simply not as good as Oregon's. The probability of winning is really very small.
Jamie Lin almost turned bitter with sorrow.
At this time, another incident occurred that added fuel to the fire.
In an interview with Time Warner TV, Oregon core point guard Brooks made a very strong statement: "There is no doubt that I am the fastest player in the Pacific Division. I watched the footage of Stanford's last game and he is indeed a bit fast. Magic even gave
I know... a lot of people want to see new blood coming in. But next game I will prove that some people are just a flash in the pan, and Brooks' name will always remain in basketball history."
When a reporter asked what he thought of the Stanford team: "What I say now seems to be adding insult to injury. But the fact is: both of their core players have been injured, and the head coach even publicly announced that he would give up this season and go to
Examine high school students. What kind of confrontation can you expect them to make? Let’s try to end the suspense in the first half!”
What Brooks said was somewhat sincere.
But in the eyes of Stanford students, this kind of sincerity is extremely arrogant.
How arrogant.
Therefore, the Stanford Crimson Team must kill these domineering country bumpkins!
Chapter completed!
