NBA: No. 1 Forward

Chapter 22: Tom Izzo



He was the head coach of the Spartans, and his greatness is engraved in the history of Michigan State University.

Since 1995, Tom Izzo has become the head coach of the Spartans. As of December 28 today, they have achieved an impressive record of 314 wins and 131 losses.

In the 2000 NCAA Finals, Izzo led the team to an 89-76 victory over the University of Florida and won the second NCAA championship trophy in Michigan State history.

In addition, in the 10 years from 1999 to 2008, Izzo actually led the team to the NCAA semi-finals four times. In this era, no other college coach can match him.

And since leading the team, Izzo has not let the team miss a championship for a year.

With such an impressive record, Izzo has won numerous awards—the Associated Press Coach of the Year Award in 1998, the Basketball News Coach of the Year Award in 1998, and the Henry Iba Award from the American Basketball Writers Association in 1998 (the first in history to lead the team for two consecutive years). The head coach who won the NCAA championship, the pioneer of man-to-man defensive theory) Coach Award, the Best Coach Award of the Big Ten League in 1998, the Best Coach Award in the Middle East of the Basketball Times in 1998, the Best Coach Award of the Basketball News in 1999, 2001 Best National Coach Award, 2005 Bee Award.

In addition, many of Izzo's students have become some college basketball head coaches. Now there are 5 head coaches in the NCAA first-level league that used to be Izzo's assistant coaches.

Including University of Dayton's Brian Gregory, Indiana University's Tom Kling, University of South Florida's Stan Heath, University of Utah's Jim Boylen; and University of Tulsa's Doug Wasick . Now Izzo's assistant coach, Mike Garland, also studied under Izzo for 7 years and then went to Cleveland State University as the head coach for 3 years. Former Michigan State assistant coach Stan Joplin also served as the head coach of the University of Toledo before the 2007-08 season.

Therefore, the strength of Michigan State University is far from what ESPN presents on paper. What they have leaked so far is just the tip of the iceberg. They have hidden their strong strength in the water.

The Spartans are very strong, but there are ways to crack the Spartans, otherwise he would not have lost to the University of North Carolina in his last life.

After the preseason ended, Captain Gibson invited Lian Dao to a celebration party. Lian Dao didn't really want to go to the party, mainly because he experienced the spiritual emptiness after being lavish and rich in his previous life. full.

But this is an invitation from the big brother of the team, and Lian Dao is not easy to refuse, and with DeRozan beside him, he also has an eager expression on his face. Lian Dao knew that this sullen man actually wanted to attend the party.

The more Lian Dao got along with DeRozan, the more he felt that this guy was boring. He doesn't like to talk very much in life, that's because he doesn't know you well. He and his acquaintances or friends also talked about women during breaks, discussing that the cheerleader girl has a bigger buttocks and taller peaks. The most important thing is that he danced and gestured while talking.

Lian Dao was stunned and full of doubts. Isn't the little worm from the previous life like this?

Lian Dao nicknamed Xiaochang Chong in private, mainly because DeRozan's idol is No. 24 Kobe in Los Angeles, and Kobe is called the Black Mamba. The black mamba is a snake, and it is also called a long worm in China. Therefore, Lian Dao named DeRozan: Xiao Chang Chong.

At the beginning, DeRozan didn't know what Chang Chong meant. Every time Lian Dao called him that, he always had a "Nick Young question mark face" expression on his face, until after DeRozan tirelessly questioned him, Lian Dao gave him a perfunctory look. It is said that the long worm represents a very powerful beast, which means that its attack is very powerful.

He didn't remember anything in front of him, but he remembered "the offense was very powerful" in the back. So I used the awkward Chinese pronunciation to talk excitedly about Xiao Changchong over and over again.

Gibson's party wasn't at a bar, and some of his playing teams were underage to drink. So the party was held at the villa of Marcus Simmons. Yes, Marcus Simmons is also a rich second generation, and this guy's father is also a well-known local real estate tycoon.

So this guy joined the basketball team purely for his hobby. The key is this party. In the name of Lian Dao, this guy invited girls from the school's cheerleading team and also brought some female students from the film major.

When Lian Dao appeared at the party, the girls who admired her beauty instantly boiled over, and those girls kept teasing their revealing clothes. Wanting to attract Lian Dao's attention, some bold girls directly invite Lian Dao to enjoy a romantic evening.

But they were all rejected by Lian Dao, but even so, he still received a lot of cards with contact information written on them.

These girls then turned their attention to Gibson, DeRozan and Marcus Simmons.

This is very normal in the United States. With the strength that Lian Dao has shown now, he will definitely enter the NBA. Entering the NBA means gaining both fame and fortune. The key is that Lian Dao is very handsome. Something happened to a handsome and wealthy man!

After seeing them rejecting them, it is understandable for them to aim at Gibson and DeRozan. Although they do not have the appearance of Lian Dao, these two are definitely the main players who will enter the NBA. Even if it's just a romantic evening, then when Gibson and DeRozan enter the NBA, they can boast that they have slept with NBA stars.

At the party, Lian Dao didn't drink alcohol, but sat in a corner, poured a glass of juice, looked at the men and women who relieved each other's loneliness in the remodeled dance floor, couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile. He thought that he used to play so happily like them, but now he seems out of tune with this environment.

After Lian Dao drank the juice in the glass, he couldn't stand the deafening music and the smell of hormones floating in the air.

So, I greeted Simmons, Gibson and DeRozan and left.

Lian Dao came to the playground and put on the weight-bearing clothes he bought earlier. In fact, physical training is cardiopulmonary training. The best way for ordinary people to improve their physical fitness is to insist on low-intensity aerobic exercise, while for Lian Dao it is high-intensity aerobic exercise.

At present, the most suitable aerobic exercise is weight-bearing running. The improvement of physical fitness does not happen overnight. He needs long-term persistence. He needs to keep adapting to the weight-bearing for one or two months, and then make a reasonable increase according to the upper limit of physical talent.

After Lian Dao was exhausted from running in a weight-bearing suit, he walked slowly for a while, and then came to the training physiotherapy room, where he used an ice bucket to relieve physical fatigue and combined with massage techniques to relax. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com performed it by himself Massage, many acupuncture points on the back are out of reach, after this season is over, I must go to the master to learn from it.

In addition, I don’t know if there is a liquid nitrogen freezer. This thing is actually very good. James and Ronaldo are using this high-tech product in later generations. Why James, a 30-year-old man in later generations, is still puzzled is because of his love for his body.

Only by ensuring the health of the body can we go further in the league. Suddenly, Lian Dao felt that the wolfberry brother Andrew Wiggins was floating in front of his eyes.

After the preseason ended, Tim also let everyone rest for two days before starting normal training. However, except for Lian Dao, the other players seemed to have had a bit too much fun at the party the night before, all of them looked sluggish in their clothes, and the training match was a complete mess.

This made Tim directly become the Roaring Bishop, and the players also knew that they had played too much the night before, so they didn't say a word as a whole.

Tim looked at the state of the players and knew they must have gone out after the preseason.

So for the first training session after the preseason, the training volume was doubled for everyone except Lian Dao.

Lian Dao trained with his teammates, and his training volume was greater than that of his teammates after doubled. Gibson and the others thought that Lian Dao was sharing weal and woe with them. Everyone looked at Lian Dao with approval. Before that, they Although Lian Dao's strength was also recognized, it was only the recognition of Lian Dao's strength, and this time it was the overall recognition and acceptance of Lian Dao.

Unknowingly, Lian Dao and his teammates drew closer.

When Tim saw Lian Dao, who was redoubled training with his teammates, his face was full of admiration. It can be seen that this little old man is thinking a little too much!
