When Lin Ri woke up, he also found that he was angry.

No wonder this guy asked him to do something difficult at that time!

Dare to wait for him here!

Lin Ri rolled his eyes as he looked at Chris Williams, who had the nerve to come to him to ask for credit. This kid probably doesn't know what "low profile is the way to go."

It's no wonder that Americans are all in this mood. Only Zhang Yang can survive here.

Didn't he come to the NCAA early to work hard just to adapt to such an environment?

Fine!

If you get popular in advance, just get popular in advance. Just think of it as giving yourself a little motivation and a little pressure.

Lin Ri got up and washed up, and then went to the training arena. After the trial training at noon, Sandek told him that there would be training this afternoon and asked him to go early because he had to arrange a locker room meeting with him.

Jersey, although these trivial matters are not troublesome, they have to be done one by one.

Lin Ri agreed at the time and took a nap. Seeing that the time was almost up, he hurried to the arena.

Chris didn't go with him this time, not because he didn't want to go, but because he couldn't get in. During the Sun Devils' training, people who weren't from the school team couldn't get in at all.

"Hey, is it him? The sun on the campus network seems to be him, right?"

"Wow, he is really tall. With these muscles, I believe he can definitely complete a dunk like that."

"Wow, I didn't see it in the video, but he is actually a handsome boy. I really want to be knocked down by him..."

Lin Ri didn't have an accurate idea of ​​how "hot" he was at first, but now, after coming out of the dormitory, he already had a certain idea.

As he walked on the way to the arena, the glances directed at him and the comments about him never stopped.

This made Lin Ri suddenly feel like "no one in the world knows you."

What made him a little unhappy was that these guys were actually discussing his dunks, and few paid attention to his appearance.

Really?

He still has a little too much talent.

Alas~ I have blocked this handsome face.

…

Jeff Pendegraf, who was tall and honest-looking, changed his clothes in the locker room and came to the arena. Today was the first day the Sun Devils practiced together, which made him a little excited.

The team has started training, which means the new season is about to start!

This will be his second career in the NCAA. He played well last season. Although the team failed to enter the national competition, in the Pacific 12 Conference, the Sun Devils had a pretty good record and ranked first.

The third place is just a hair away from entering the top 32 in the country and entering "March Madness".

He himself also gained a lot of attention in his first year of playing. After the Sun Devils finished the entire schedule last year, some media predicted that if he participated in the draft, he would definitely be selected in the second round!

Every year, there are more than 10,000 college students on the basketball team and thousands of NCAA leagues. Being able to become one of the 60 rookies selected in the NBA draft in these thousands of leagues shows that Jeff has made great achievements this year.

The performance is really good.

But he himself was not very satisfied with this ranking, so he finally decided to stay with the Sun Devils for another year. He believed that he would definitely be able to play better this year than last year, and more importantly, he believed that they could reach the top spot this year.

In the national competition, if he can play two good games in March Madness... Jeff believes that his ranking this year can be much higher.

But before he reached the gym, he heard the sound of balls being slapped and the sound of sneakers rubbing against the floor. His face was slightly startled, but when he saw who was practicing inside, he was no longer surprised:

"Huh? I'm going, let me tell you, how could anyone arrive before me? It's you, James, and you are the only one who is more eager than me!"

The man who was teased by Jeff turned his head and stared with a pair of eyes on his dark face, looking extremely cute.

This guy is James Harden. He has not yet announced his participation in the draft, but many general managers have already coveted it and are eagerly waiting for it!

Judging from the rankings of many prediction websites, if James Harden participates in the draft this year, he will definitely be a first-round pick, and he will be ranked very high, let alone the top ten, he will definitely enter the lottery!

Of course, considering his ability to appear on the cover of "Sports Illustrated" last year, it is not surprising that he is ranked like this.

Just kidding, how many people can be featured in Sports Illustrated before officially entering the NBA?

"Yeah." Harden saw that it was Jeff who came in, nodded briefly, and then returned to training.

His temperament looks a bit cold.

But Jeff is not surprised. In the past year, he has gained a certain understanding of his talented teammate. This is a guy who can become a leader on the court, but he is not a talkative person. His expression may be

It looks a bit cute, but very cold.

If he hadn't taken the initiative to high-five his teammates every time they scored, their teammates would sometimes even wonder if this guy looked down on them.

Fortunately, after getting along for a long time, Jeff found that although this guy didn't talk much, he would stand up when he was needed.

How to say it!

If Jeff had a choice, he would be willing to be teammates with Harden for life.

Jeff also took a ball and started practicing free throws. After two rounds of practice, he thought of something, ran to James Harden, and asked with a slightly mysterious expression: "James, have you watched the video on the campus website?"

Is there a post yet? I heard that we are going to have a new guy with very strong physical fitness. He is also a Chinese boy. This guy can complete a dunk from his buttocks. That physical fitness...OMG..."

As Jeff spoke, he recalled Lin Ri's dunk in the video.

He watched it seven or eight times and was really shocked!

"Well, I haven't read it, but I know it seems to be called the sun..." James Harden is not in the habit of reading campus website posts, but he does know that Lin Ri and Sandeck called him in the afternoon and told him

This incident, and Sandak's excited tone at the time, once made James Harden think that Blake Griffin had transferred to Arizona State University.

"The sun? Didn't you say he is Chinese? Chinese? But the name is crazy." Jeff remembered that the guy was called "Lin Ri".

James Harden: "Coach calls him the sun when he tells me..."

As for why Sandik called Lin Ri "the sun", James Harden didn't know. Of course, he couldn't know that Sandeck called Lin Ri that way because Chris called him that, and then he shouted it smoothly, so he called him that.

.

"That might be his English name, no matter what!" Jeff didn't hesitate. Instead, an idea flashed through his mind, "James, how about we give that newcomer a try too!"

"Huh?" James Harden had doubts in his eyes.

His expression is still cute.

But Jeff could see that James Harden was interested, and he hurriedly said: "This way, when he comes later, we will tell him that he wants to join the Sun Devils. It is useless just for the coach to agree. We have to agree."

, if you want to join the team, you have to leave a complete palm print on the backboard, so that you can pass the test... How about it?"

Jeff became more and more excited as he talked.

Mainly, he wanted to see Lin Ri's jumping ability and explosive power with his own eyes to see if it was really as powerful as in the short video!

Needless to say, he really didn't believe it.

"Well, let's give it a try." James Harden was persuaded. Although he had not seen the short video, he was also curious about what kind of newcomer could make Sandeck so excited!

…

Lin Ri actually went there quite early, but the procedures for collecting the jersey and locker room keys were a little more complicated than he thought.

By the time he finished everything, there were only a few minutes left before the gathering. When he arrived at the arena, everyone except head coach Sandeck had already arrived.

"Hey, man, you are the new Chinese guy!" Jeff had already greeted the other teammates who came after him. They all agreed to Jeff's test and now stood in a tacit understanding.

Both rows watched with wide eyes as Jeff walked up to Lin Ri.

Jeff is 2.08 meters tall. He is the tallest on the Sun Devils, so he usually has to lower his head to look at people. But this time when facing Lin Ri, he only had to look down slightly.

Just a little bit, which made Jeff slightly startled, because this means that Lin Ri must be at least 2.05 meters tall...

This height surprised Jeff. When he looked at Lin Ri in the video, although he thought he was not short, he thought Lin Ri was only about 2.02 meters tall.

After all, the action is more difficult for taller people.

Unexpectedly, Lin Ri was only slightly shorter than him.

This already shows that the action in Lin Ri's video is more difficult than he initially thought.

Is it really that fierce?

Jeff muttered in his heart. He could hear some "small" discussions coming from the large army behind him. They obviously didn't expect Lin Ri to be so tall.

However, this made Jeff want to witness Lin Ri's terrifying physical fitness with his own eyes!

How can someone with such a tall height still have such physical fitness?

Why do I not believe it so much?

Jeff followed the design with James Harden from the beginning and said: "Did you see that basket rack? Man, as long as you can leave a complete palm print on the backboard of that basket rack, then you will be fine.

If you are qualified to join our Sun Devil team, otherwise, take off your clothes and leave, because everyone here can leave a complete palm print on it!"

This is not nonsense. As long as you can reach the height of one hand above the basket, you can basically leave a complete palm print on the backboard, and those who can dunk can basically jump to the height of one hand above the basket.

It's just that the meaning of these words is obviously not just as simple as letting Lin Ri leave a palm print on the backboard.

This is to show me power!

Lin Ri muttered something in his heart.
