Chapter 48 The top three in the mock draft

The game between Long Beach vs UNLV did not cause national discussion.

But Lin Xing VS Isiah Ryder, the heat is very high.

The second of five in the 93rd mock draft is probably equivalent to two of the top five superstars in this NCAA.

Such a fight naturally attracted much attention.

Everyone thought that this would be a duel between Mars and Earth, but it turned out...

Long time no see Henry Abbott——

"I'll just say it straight up, Isiah Ryder is such a disappointment,
When he didn't face Stalin in the first half, his performance was already extremely bad.

When he and Stalin faced each other, the gap widened even further..."

Bill Simmons, who started to pay attention to Lin Xing from the Linbian dispute——

"Before the game, NBA experts and scouts commented on Stalin: He is too young, his offensive skills are fresh, and his future is too uncertain.

And his opponent in this game, the senior and offensive self-proclaimed kaleidoscope Isiah Ryder is completely two extremes.

As a result, there was a big battle, and Stalin told those experts and scouts that youth was not his problem.

As for the offensive move?Stalin has at least one trick to kill, Isiah Ryder can't kill a trick,
What about the offensive kaleidoscope? "

And Long Beach queen reporter Kevin Ding——

"A victory laid the foundation for the outbreak of the 49ers in the new season,

At the same time, I also reminded Sports Illustrated that the new mock draft can make Stalin at least enter the top three. "

From Henry Abbott, a staunch Lin Hei, to Bill Simmons, a passerby who doesn't appreciate Lin's star style, to Kevin Ding, a staunch Long Beach supporter.

Their post-match evaluation of this game is basically equivalent to public opinion's evaluation of this game.

It can be said that after Duke and UNLV defeated Grant Hill and Isiah Ryder in consecutive matchups,
Those inaccurate evaluations of Lin Xing have now been corrected.

For example, many draft experts believe that Lin Xing is too young.

In the early 90s, it was not a good thing for rookies to be too young. Young players were considered to have enough time in college.

The reason is that the NBA in this day and age thinks—

The intensity of the high school league is too low, and the young players who stand out from the high school league are immature physically, mentally, technically and tactically.

No matter how well they perform in the high school league, they need to be honed and tested by the NCAA.

But now, the NCAA league, which was supposed to sharpen and test Lin Xing, has become a stage for Lin Xing alone.

He continued to crush all opponents, proving that:
For him, the NCAA has the same intensity as a high school league.

In this case, being young is not his problem.

As for the offensive move, there are still many draft experts who have different opinions on this.

Some people are optimistic that Lin Xing can develop more offensive methods after entering the NBA. After all, his age is here and his body is here.

But some people think that offensive methods are not so easy to develop, and now Lin Xing can bully NCAA opponents with his body.

In the NBA, facing equally strong opponents, he can't do this.

If Lin Xing can't develop more offensive methods, he can only become an outstanding blue-collar at best.

Use the top three picks in the first round to draft a blue collar?
No matter which era the NBA is in, it will not be so extravagant.

But anyway, one thing is for sure.

In this victory, Lin Xing knocked out Isiah Ryder.

In the next Sports Illustrated mock draft, Lin Xing's draft pick will go further, and it should be a certainty.

……

Two days later, the latest issue of Sports Illustrated came out.

Rod Hannibal made a special trip to the newsstand and bought a copy.

At this time, Lin Xing was still in the training hall of the Long Beach branch, practicing Russell and Chris Tavor.

With the passage of time, Lin Xing's defensive drills have changed his taste.

In addition to continuing to practice defense, Tavor also increased the practice of blocking positions.

This is not Lin Xing's request, but the request of head coach Seth Greenberg.

Because of this period of time, some media mentioned the style of the Long Beach branch that is as fast as thunder and aggressive.

The media have given high praise to this highly appreciated style of play.

Hearing these compliments and even flattery, Greenberg decided to further speed up, making the swiftness even more thunderous and the offensive even more fiery.

So, how to speed up?

Greenberg noticed that when Lin Xing got the rebound immediately and switched offense and defense, Long Beach was always able to launch a wave of unstoppable counterattacks.

That's easy, Tavor directly transformed into a card forward, and the card position helped Lin Xing grab boards.

A passing procedure was saved in the middle, wouldn't the counterattack be more swift and thunderous?
Russell's special training is no longer a defensive special training. In fact, Lin Xing has already removed Russell from the special training list.

As a result, this guy was so shameless that he had to stare at Lin Xing and continue the special training.

In fact, there is nothing special to train in defense. It is not as good as Lin Xing for going around the screen. It is purely because Russell is too heavy and his speed is a bit slow.

If he wants to solve this problem, he has to lose weight.

But the problem is, Long Beach always needs him to go to the inside, and the weight loss is not realistic.

Defense does not need special training, Russell started to train his cross step on his own initiative.

He hoped that Lin Xing could teach him a few tricks, but Lin Xing ignored him and asked him to practice by himself first.

In the end, the crossover practiced by Russell himself did not make Lin Xing laugh to death.

The cross step usually starts with the crotch dribble. Russell's crotch dribble means that the legs are spread apart, and the basketball is switched back and forth between the left and right hands.

Switching back and forth, the two legs did not move at all.

Just this crotch, can it shake off the opponent?

Unless there is something nice in his crotch...

Lin Xing couldn't see it, so he taught him the most basic two moves.

As for Lin Xing's current cross step, relying on the secrets of Tim Hardaway and the hard training during this period.

There are more than two moves and one move. Lin Xing doesn't know exactly how many moves there are.

What he knows is that after practicing like this for a while, he will be able to become the next representative of fancy dribbling, earlier than Allen Iverson!
During practice, Rod Hannibal pushed the door open.

He held up the Sports Illustrated that he had just obtained, and shouted: "The latest issue of Sports Illustrated is out, and Stacey is in the top three!"

"Si Da entered the top three? Show me quickly!"

Tavor threw away the basketball in his hand, rushed to the sidelines with big strides, and snatched the Sports Illustrated from Hannibal's hand.

Lin Xing didn't want to expose that he was so active, but he just wanted to be lazy.

But the problem is, Lin Xing wants to see this Sports Illustrated as soon as possible.

So the team bully coughed.

Tavor reacted immediately, turned around and handed the Sports Illustrated to Lin Xing: "Forget it, let Si Da read it by himself."

Russell also came over. When Lin Xing turned to the page of the mock draft, he saw Lin Xing's name immediately.

But his eyes did not stop, but continued to look down, he was looking for his own name.

Of course Lin Xing would not look down, his eyes were fixed on the first three...

"No. [-] mock draft, Chris Webber, Michigan, Dallas Mavericks."

"At this time, the Mavericks with the lowest record in the regular season are the team most likely to get the first pick in the first round. There is no doubt about their choice, Chris Webber!

He is the inside player with the best skills and dominance in this year's NCAA. Last season, he led the team to the Crazy Three Finals. He is still hot this season, and he is the No. [-] pick. "

"No. [-] mock draft, Anfernee Hardaway, Memphis, Minnesota Timberwolves."

"For the Timberwolves to have Christian Laettner, they need a point guard who can activate Laettner,
Stalin does not meet this requirement, and the elegant penny is a better choice. "

"Mock draft number three, Stalin, Cal State Long Beach, Washington Bullets."

"For the Bullets, which have been rotten to the bottom, it doesn't matter who they choose. All they need are young talents, and Stalin is the best choice."

With the evaluation of the top three picks, Lin Xing probably understood why he was still overwhelmed by Penny.

"Sports Illustrated doesn't even want to lose face. Penny can activate Christian Laettner, but Staples can't? Isn't this blatant favoritism?"

Tavor spoke up, and Rod Hannibal nodded.

Russell, on the other hand, remained silent. After a few seconds, he suddenly yelled:
"found it!"

"What did you find?"

"I found me. The 32nd overall pick in the second round is not bad. Compared with the last time, I have improved by two picks."

In fact, not only Russell, but Lucios' pick has also improved, from the 29th pick in the first round of the previous period to the 22nd pick in the first round.

This surprised some people. After all, compared to last season, the statistics of Russell and Lucios have declined to varying degrees.

But some people think it's too normal.

Why is it normal?

Compared with last season, the positioning of the Long Beach branch has changed.

Last season, they didn't even make it to the Crazy Three, and they were just a mediocre team in the NCAA Division I.

No matter how well the core is played, it lacks the test of a tough battle.

This season is different, the data has indeed declined, but the victories against Duke, the victories against UNLV, and even the victories against UCLA and the University of Arizona are all big games with a higher level of attention.

Winning these games means that Lucios and Russell have the attributes of winners.

In fact, for players whose predicted picks are not high, data is not the most important thing, what is important is their mental attributes, or the attributes of super role players.

……

Win UNLV, and the remainder of the Atlantic Conference regular season won't matter much until the next regular season cycle arrives.

No matter what others think, anyway, Lin Xing thinks so.

And the next few games did confirm his idea.

For example, in the second regular season, against the well-known Pacific University, Lin Xingchao scored 27 points, 6 rebounds, 11 assists and 4 steals, leading the team to a 28-point victory.

Another example is the third game of the regular season, against San Jose State University, Lin Xing only played half of the game, 19 points, 4 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals, another 30-point victory for Long Beach.

With a total of 58 points in the two games, Lin Xing could only sigh with emotion: 58 is everywhere!

Such an easy regular season has been played until the sixth game, a new opponent came to challenge.

"Our opponent in this game is Cal State University Fullerton, a not weak opponent, we must pay attention to them!"

In almost every game, Seth Greenberg has to make such an opening statement, and this game is the same.

Lin Xing automatically filtered the opening remarks until...

"By the way, Star, you have to pay attention to Bruce Bowen on the opposite side in this game."

"Okay, I will..."

Lin Xing replied casually, and then he repeated the name, "Bruce Bowen, right? Don't worry, I..."

He reacted: "Wait, Seth, who do you want me to pay attention to?"

"Bruce Bowen, the head star of Fullerton, his offensive performance is mediocre. What you need to pay attention to is the defensive end. This is a difficult defender. He has a lot of small moves and is very dirty, so you need to pay attention..."

It's right, it's all right!

Bowen?That Uncle Bao who did all kinds of evil?Actually also in the Atlantic League?

Damn, finally came an interesting game.

Isn't it just head-to-head, isn't it just to be more sinister than anyone else, let's compare, who is afraid of whom!
