It's been some time since Wayne became a celebrity at school.

The rumor that he defeated Rasheed Wallace has now been heard by almost everyone who pays attention to basketball.

Of course, the "facts" everyone knows are more or less exaggerated.

And the impact this incident had on Wayne's life was not a small one.

Now, in addition to being stared at when walking on campus, Wayne often encounters girls asking for their cell phone numbers.

At first, Wayne felt quite accomplished.

In my entire life, I have never been so popular with girls.

But over time, I became tired.

The main reason is that the phone number is useless because Wayne is exhausted after training every day.

Before the start of the season, Wayne's biggest task is to gain weight and practice strength.

With the cooperation of nutritionists and trainers, Wayne eats a lot every day, seven meals a day, but he cannot eat too much at each meal.

Achieved the legendary diet of eating less and eating more often.

This will help Wayne's digestion and absorption, and avoid gaining weight as much as possible.

If you eat more, your training volume will naturally not decrease. Otherwise, everything you eat will turn into fat.

Of course, it's not okay to gain weight too quickly. Sudden weight gain will put a huge burden on key parts such as the knees, and will only increase the risk of injury.

Therefore, Wayne's weight gain was carried out under strict calculations by nutritionists and trainers.

One thing to say is that the NCAA's training level may be higher than the training level of domestic professional competitions during the same period in 2003.

However, even within safe confines, Wayne was tired into sabi.

I always thought it was difficult to lose weight, but now I know it’s even harder to gain weight!

My hands are calloused every day when I lift iron.

But Wayne's sweat has been rewarded accordingly.

In just over a month, Wayne's weight increased from 91 kilograms to 95 kilograms.

Even though the numbers haven't changed much, the changes in body shape are obvious.

In the past, Wayne was just thin, but now it is more appropriate to describe his figure as muscular.

The muscle lines on his arms have been trained very clearly. Even if he takes off his jersey, the muscle lines of his torso are very beautiful. He is no longer a "rib man".

Moreover, it may be easy for ordinary people to gain 4 kilograms of weight by accumulating fat, but for Wayne, he needs to gain 4 kilograms of muscle.

A lot of strength training, eating a lot of protein and carbohydrates, and lying down after eating, these two ways of gaining weight are completely different.

If you want to build bigger muscles, even if you only weigh 4 kilograms, it is a very painful and difficult process.

After gaining 4 kilograms of weight, Wayne also improved his strength to 35.

If you work harder and work harder, it shouldn't be a problem to reach 40.

Wayne is very concerned about gaining weight and strength, but he is not in a hurry.

Because almost everyone who enters a career from college has to go through this process.

No rookie is as strong as a mountain of meat when he first enters the league.

Compared with gaining weight, the gap in talent is the most difficult to make up for.

Fortunately, Wayne now has a system to help him reverse his fate. Of course, this also requires Wayne's blood and sweat.

After all, you won't get many growth points just by rolling iron.

So on top of his crazy weight gain, Wayne still has to practice with the team every day and work one-on-one with teacher Tony to brush up on his growth points. This level of intensity is simply not too satisfying.

In this way, after training every day, Wayne had no energy to follow up with the girls who left their phone numbers.

After returning to the dormitory every day, the happiest thing for Wayne is to lie in bed and relax.

Over time, Wayne completely forgot the faces corresponding to those phone numbers.

So, in the end, not a single phone number was used.

Even with the system, it is not easy to become a star.

When I heard Zhang Erwan's story before, Wayne only had the word "wocao" in his mind.

But now putting himself in Dashuai Zhang's shoes, Wayne must add another sentence: "Awesome!"

What physical ability!

After playing every day, I still have the energy to mess around outside.

Fortunately, these days are finally over.

In early October, just three days before the Cowboys finally faced their first warm-up opponent, Vanderbilt University, the trainer informed Wayne that his weight-gaining training was over.

"It is very easy to get injured while gaining weight while playing games, and it will also consume a lot of physical energy. Now you have gained 4 kilograms, which is the most appropriate number for your health. So, as the season enters the competition period, we decided

Pause your weight training."

The trainer looked at Wayne's strong body and suddenly felt a huge sense of accomplishment.

"Is it over...?" Wayne suddenly felt extremely sad. Just for the extra four kilograms of muscle, it almost cost him his life.

In addition to the grueling muscle-building plan, Tony Allen also temporarily canceled one-on-one training with Wayne in the afternoon.

"The warm-up races are about to start, so let's take a break these days and focus all our energy on the game." Tony Allen sat in the locker room and looked up at Wayne, his eyes full of longing.

Of course, I'm not looking forward to Wayne, I'm looking forward to the game.

In one-on-one training this month recently, Tony Allen expressed to Wayne his determination to win the championship more than once.

Because only by going further in the March Madness tournament can he be seen by more scouts.

As a senior player who went from junior college to undergraduate, Tony Allen suffered a big disadvantage due to his age, so he was not very favored by others.

Now, in an era when countless high school students are yearning for the league, countless young talents have dazzled the NBA.

Therefore, senior players are at a disadvantage right from the start.

Therefore, Teacher Tony must make up for this disadvantage at all costs. His entire family depends on him.

In the latest draft prediction, Tony Allen can only be ranked in the second round.

Of course, Wayne's sophomore year is not much better.

Although rumors that he defeated Wallace have been making a lot of noise recently, NBA general managers are not stupid.

They won't jump to conclusions until they see Wayne play.

Wayne is currently unable to even make it into the second round of the predicted draft, and is still predicted to be undrafted.

Wayne understands Tony Allen's mood very well. Moreover, Teacher Tony has not had a break like Wayne this month and has been with him every day, which is quite interesting.

Give your thighs a break once in a while so that they can be hugged better in the future.

"I agree, Tony. In the warm-up match in three days, you will surprise everyone." Wayne nodded and fist bumped with Tony Allen.

"So can you, Wayne."

"Me? I'm satisfied if I can play in the starting lineup." Wayne shook his head. Speaking of which, Coach Sutton hasn't announced the starting lineup for the new season yet.

I guess I wanted to observe it carefully through the warm-up match.

Currently, Wayne's advantages are obvious, namely shooting, height, wingspan and shot blocking.

But in addition to Wayne, the Cowboys also have a big guy at the fourth position, Randy Carter, who has rough skills but weighs 110 kilograms.

In the NCAA, 110 kilograms is really a giant.

Although Carter has been blocked by Wayne a lot in training this month, he can indeed handle it.

For Sutton, who advocates muscular defense, Carter seems more suitable.

"Coach Sutton, Coach Sutton, I hope you can be discerning and not be blinded by Brother Carter's weight." Thinking of this, Wayne prayed silently in his heart.

Wait, Eddie Sutton!

By the way, this name always seemed very familiar to Wayne when he first met Sutton.

Now he remembered, Eddie Sutton was one of the 2020 Basketball Hall of Fame inductees!

In Wayne's previous life, because Kobe, Garnett and Duncan were inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2020, he was very concerned about that class of Hall of Fame.

Among the complete selection list, he had seen Eddie Sutton's name.

It's just that at that time, Wayne knew nothing about Sutton. Because in China, the NCAA was not very popular, and there were very few related consultations.

Wayne vaguely remembered that in the Hall of Fame member's introduction, it was stated that Sutton had won the NCAA Coach of the Year honors four times in his career and had a career winning rate of 71%.

All in all, he is a very good instructor!

He's already in the Hall of Fame, how can he still be a parallel import?

If you are a high-level coach...

Well, maybe it won't be so rigid. Maybe Sutton will really try a space-based fourth position, which is not popular now?

"Hahaha, what are you talking about? You must be the starter. You and I, we are going to work together to win the league championship." Tony Allen stood up, his eyes firm, "Definitely."

In this way, it was a rare day that Wayne returned to his dormitory early and could relax his muscles.

Of course, eggs and boiled chicken breasts are still inescapable.

Wayne's mouth is watering now when he sees Cody eating ice cream.

Just after finishing dinner and preparing to clear the table, Wayne's Nokia suddenly rang.

At first, Wayne thought it was Cody who asked him to go out and fool around again.

But after taking out his phone, Wayne was stunned.

The caller is Eddie Sutton!

"Coach!" Wayne answered the phone immediately, not daring to waste a second.

"Wei, I'm sorry to bother you now, but you're still at school, right?" On the other end, Sutton's tone was calm.

"I'm in the dorm."

"If it's convenient, can you come to the arena now? I want to get you some information."

"Information?" Wayne had already walked out of the dormitory door even though he hadn't figured out the situation yet.

"That's right, the information about your matchup in the next game. I originally wanted to send it to you during training tomorrow, but I think, as a starting player, you should prepare in advance."

"Okay, I'll be right over now...wait, you mean, starting player?" Wayne clenched his fists, became?

"That's right, starting player. I see your progress and hard work. This is the opportunity you deserve. Perform well in the game three days later and don't let me make a regretful decision, Wei."

After Sutton finished speaking, he hung up the phone with a smile.

Just now, he and his son and assistant coach Sean have worked out the starting lineup for the new season.

Point guard Lucas, shooting guard Tony, small forward Graham, center Holmes.

This lineup is full of impact and tough on defense.

But the biggest drawback is that outside shooting is very unstable.

It's fine against ordinary opponents, but if you encounter a strong opponent in the championship, they can strangle the Cowboys to death with one contraction.

After weighing the pros and cons, Sutton gave up on the big man Carter and brought up Wayne.

Although it seems unusual for a power forward to shoot three-pointers, Sutton really needs a starter who can shoot three-pointers.

Wayne is the best choice.

At the same time, Wayne's system taskbar also responded immediately.

"Mission: prove strength, completed.
Chapter completed!
