In the midsummer of 1993, a tall and slender figure stood stunned at the gate of the Liberation Work Team.

This big boy whose face was covered with acne, his eyes gradually regained their luster.

In his previous life, he was a professional basketball reporter, but he never imagined that he would actually be in Wang Dazhi's body.

The memories of the two lives quickly merged into one in his mind, and Wang Dazhi immediately understood his situation. Once he stepped into the door of the Liberation Sports Team, the system's splints would restrict his life.

Wang Dazhi smiled and turned around and left without hesitation. He went against his parents' wishes and gave up the opportunity to try out for the Liberation Team.

He will never make the same mistakes again in this life, and from now on he will fulfill all his talents.

If you want to realize your talent, China in 1993 could not provide you with such an environment.

Wang Dazhi knew that he had to fly to the United States. Fortunately, his years of subsidies from the National Youth Team were still untouched in his bankbook, and the U.S. visa applied for by the National Youth Team had not expired.

Wang Dazhi secretly boarded a plane to Philadelphia without telling everyone.

Although the national youth team's stipend was already a huge amount of income in China at that time, the money, excluding air tickets, was only enough to sustain him in Philadelphia for a week.

After two days of jet lag in a motel, Wang Dazhi arrived in the Lower Merion district of Philadelphia. After arriving at his final destination, the first thing Wang Dazhi had to solve was his own life problems.

With the life experience in his previous life, of course this is not a problem for him, a veteran in society. Wang Dazhi found a Chinese restaurant and started working illegally. Who said he didn't have a work visa?

Usually underage workers who have just arrived can only wash dishes in the back kitchen, but Wang Dazhi is extraordinary. After only three days in the back kitchen, he has already pushed the former chef to the bench.

Because this big man doesn’t make General Tso’s chicken, he can cook all of them at his fingertips: vinegar-soaked pork sausage, pot-wrapped pork, and Buddha jumping over the wall!

With his life secured, Wang Dazhi naturally wanted to get on the right track and came to Lower Merion in Philadelphia just for that man.

In his previous life, Wang Dazhi helped many student players go to the United States to study. He was very familiar with how to enroll in school.

16-year-old Wang Dazhi soon became an official member of Lower Merion High School. Wang Dazhi's English was very good. On the first day of school, he got into hot fights with many female classmates.

The big American girls who wanted to tease the big Asian men were turned red in the face by Wang Dazhi.

After officially enrolling in school, Wang Dazhi also adjusted the working hours of the Chinese restaurant to the evening. How dare the boss not agree to this gold medal chef's request.

After school on the first day, Wang Dazhi rejected several dates with American girls. He walked to the gymnasium carrying the equipment he brought from China.

As the stadium got closer and closer, Wang Dazhi's heart became more and more turbulent. He knew that the man had already changed his clothes and was ready to sweat profusely on the court.

Pushing open the door of the gymnasium, the members of the school team have indeed begun to warm up. Wang Dazhi was delayed a lot of time because of the entanglement of the American girls.

At this time, Wang Dazhi had grown to 2.08 meters. Such an Asian face naturally attracted everyone's attention, but Wang Dazhi immediately locked onto that man, Kobe Bryant.

That unruly young man is looking at me coldly!

When he saw Kobe again after the bad news came, Wang Dazhi's eyes were already dim, but he quickly calmed down. With his appearance, Kobe's future will be brighter.

"Hey! Big guy!

Want to join the basketball team?"

The middle-aged man with a whistle in his mouth walked towards Wang Dazhi. Big men were rare talents in any era, so naturally he would not despise Wang Dazhi.

Of course Wang Dazhi knows this man. He is Denard, the coach of Lower Merion High School.

Wang Dazhi: “Of course!

I am a natural basketball player!

Please remember my name, everyone, my name is Wang Dazhi!"

You must not be restrained in American stadiums. This was Wang Dazhi's biggest shortcoming.

Wang Dazhi took the initiative to high-five Coach Denard and bumped shoulders.

Denard: "I just said that the programs on TV are all lies. Who said Asians are shy and don't like to talk!

By the way, you have to call me Coach Denard!"

I immediately fell in love with this cheerful big man, but he was too thin.

Wang Dazhi: "Okay, Coach Denard!

What show are you watching?

I’ll try to see if I can apply to be their host!”

Wang Dazhi's humor made the head coach laugh.

Denard: "Hahahaha! Just train with the team today!

Show me all your strength. If your basketball skills are as good as your talk, you will definitely pass my trial!

Griffin! Get this big guy a makeshift locker!"

Coach Denard called the captain of Lower Merion High School, Jermaine Griffin.

Jermaine Griffin: "Follow me, big man!

As the captain, I must warn you, people who only know how to talk will not stay in my team for long!"

The team culture in the United States is like this. The veterans always want to teach the rookies a vivid and unforgettable lesson.

Wang Dazhi: "Then let's wait and see!"

After giving a simple answer that was neither humble nor overbearing, Wang Dazhi began to change his equipment.

The game uniform in his backpack was still the uniform issued to him when he was a junior national team member. Wang Dazhi touched the national flag on his left chest and was a little excited. After all, this was the first time for him, a former basketball reporter, to wear an authentic national team jersey.

After changing his clothes and shoes, Wang Dazhi jogged all the way to the court.

The first team of an American high school team usually only has 12 to 15 members, but at this time, there were at least about 30 people on the court.

Now that the school year has just started, it seems that Coach Denard has not selected his favorite squad yet.

Campus basketball teams in the United States are generally dominated by senior students. Rookies like Wang Dazhi, a freshman in high school, and sophomores like Kobe Bryant, basically only have a chance to train with the second team. Those who can sit on the bench of the first team are already juniors.

The best among students.

Denard: "Assemble!"

As soon as Wang Dazhi came to the court, Denard blew the whistle.

Hearing the head coach's rally call, the team members quickly stopped their warm-up and lined up in front of Denard.

Denard: "Your sloppy warm-up really gives me a headache!

Come on! Everyone fights one against one! Find your opponent by yourself!"

One-on-one play is Denard's favorite subject. This kind of training can not only strengthen the basic skills of the players, but also hone their physical strength.

There were exactly thirty team members present, and everyone had a tacit understanding of finding opponents who were similar in size to themselves.
