Lin Yi found that old Chuck's friends seem to have a common problem, that is, most of them are amiable or polite gentlemen off the basketball court (except Rodman's perverted guy), but on the basketball court or on the court. Everyone around him definitely looked like a tyrant, including the roaring Lewis in front of him.

A team like Oregon, which is unknown in the college league, will not have high school star players to join. Lewis sticks here because the school director is his friend, otherwise he would have been able to find another high salary with his reputation.You must know that in the college league, the most valuable is not the players but the coaches. There is no free transfer market here, and all players are discovered by the coaches.The attraction of a famous coach to high school stars is huge, but the school where Lewis is staying is really not good enough, so it will cause a shortage of personnel.

Old Chuck recommended Lin Yi to come here, first because Lewis is a good coach for training centers, and second because here Lin Yi can quickly win a starting position with his strength.

In his view, the NCAA is just a step for Lin Yi to enter the professional basketball world.If you want to go to a prestigious school, no matter how strong your ability is, if you want to start, you need to look at the face of the boss of the team to decide.His old Chuck's disciples are not intended to be grandchildren, not to mention those guys are no better than Lin Yi.

It has been almost a month since he came to the University of Oregon. Lin only used one team game to prove Lewis's vision, and by the way, he also confirmed his main center position. The NCAA has not been rich in centers for many years, and the slightly better center seedlings have been booked by various famous universities early, and they are limited to playing a role as a barrier in the interior.

Center as the main attacker, forget it, this is a world of guards and small forwards.The knockout product of the run-and-gun tactics of the center is almost disappearing from the college league. Didn't you see that many big men in the NBA are international players?

At the beginning, Parker Riley once put forward a hypothesis that he only needs a team with players over [-] meters and under [-] meters to dominate the game.There is no need for a center forward at all, and even the coach who brought out Alonzo Mourning has acquiesced in the decline of the center forward. Do you need too much explanation?

Believe it or not, even Hakeem Olajuwon, one of the greatest centers ever, once privately said, "Center? Does that kind of thing still exist in the NBA?"

But there are always defenders in this world, such as this die-hard center shaper, Lewis.

The Olajuwon he brought out won two consecutive championships in the two years after Jordan left, which is one of the things he is most proud of.

In that golden age of centers, his apprentice was the most powerful and comprehensive presence among the four centers.

Those who win the inside win the world, this is the credo of Lewis' life. Even in the twilight of the center era, he still sticks to the pride of being a center.In his opinion, Lin Yi in front of him is the person who has regained the glory of the center.Therefore, Lewis' demands on Lin Yi seemed almost cruel to others.

Lin Yi didn't know what the top ten tortures in the Manchu Qing Dynasty were, but this month's training was almost equivalent to letting him die once.

In addition to daily routine training, Lewis in order to train his physical contact ability.People often wear protective gear only worn by rugby players, and then make physical contact with Lin Yi again and again.

Lin Yi, who was used to confronting Rodman and others in those few months, could bear this kind of collision, even though his bones felt like they were falling apart after each training session.

The most unbearable thing for him is flexibility training and footwork training, which is simply a kind of suffering.In order to increase the footwork of Lin Yi's movement at the basket, Lewis picked up the way he used to train the big dream, jazz dance steps.

Letting a person who has never danced to learn jazz dance, especially the height of this person has reached 2 meters 13, for Lin Yi, this is definitely a disaster, have you tried how to step on the left foot?Just go learn jazz dance and you'll know. In addition to his toes, Lin Yi also loves the basketball shoes old Chuck bought for him. He has worn out three pairs of them this month.

However, what Lewis said was very clear. Back then, Dameng's famous stunt dream dance was practiced through non-stop movement, and now the special training for Lin Yi is to let him reproduce this trick again.

Compared with jazz dance, the flexibility training made Lin Yi more distressed, because the things Lewis arranged were very weird.

Yoga, for those who have not seen it, it is hard to imagine how funny it is to let a big man over two meters tall stack up and down on the mat.The first time Lewis saw Lin Yi doing movements under the guidance of a yoga teacher, he almost dropped his dentures on the ground laughing.

In addition to these trainings, Lin began to pay attention to the center's sense of position and the role of the center in the game when he started training in the team.The high-position pick-and-roll, the center's supporting tactics, the offensive movement and the block defense at the basket, and all the techniques that would be applied in practice, such as opening singles, began to take root in his mind and leave a mark.

Now Lin Yi is like a traveler who is extremely short of water in the desert and sees a long-lost spring, desperately absorbing all kinds of information about basketball, the degree of hunger and thirst is staggering.

According to old Chuck and Lewis, as long as this kid reads information about basketball, he is like a widow who has been lonely for a long time and sees a stripped strong man with faint green eyes.

The time was spent in this endless torture. It has been three months since Lin Yi entered school.

Just like the University of Oregon's own basketball team is unknown, Lin Yi's existence is just a string of characters in the official database for the entire NCAA.

The timetable on the wall reminds everyone in this team that there is still one month before the NCAA regular season. What kind of changes will the addition of this Eastern boy bring to this humble team in the league? All we can do is wait. You don't know until the game whistle starts.

As the time approached, Lin Yi worked harder. He was always the last figure to leave the arena every day. Lewis saw all this.

The beacon fire is about to be lit, the horn of battle is about to sound, and Lin Yi's first match is about to begin. Can he make a big splash?We will wait and see!

Good luck to him!
