The era of point forwards in the NBA

Chapter 61 The Future of the Two (Please recommend, please collect)
2008年3月1号，当戴维森野猫队以89比69的比分战胜乔治亚南方大学后，他们完美结束了常规赛的最后一场比赛。

Seven days later, the Southern Conference Championship will start, and the champion will have the opportunity to directly enter the "Crazy Three".

However, everyone in Davidson is not anxious. After a season of running-in, they have enough confidence to win the championship.

Throughout the regular season, Davidson College had the best record in school history, a 32-4 record, and was undefeated in the Southern League Civil War at 20-0. One of the two subsequent losses was due to Curry taking a make-up exam and was unable to play.

Davidson, who had lost his scoring points, suddenly looked like a headless chicken. Now Lin Yue still lacks leadership qualities. He is still not confident enough in the NCAA, a place full of masters. After all, he is too humble with yellow skin.

The second time was when Lin Yue was troubled by fouls. After Davidson lost his central axis conduction, the passing and cutting effect was greatly reduced. Curry's offensive ability was slightly insufficient under the strict defense. It is no surprise that they lost again.

These two games still exposed many shortcomings of the Davidson Wildcats, but losing in the regular season is a good thing. McKillop is also gradually changing the way the team played without Lin Yue and Curry. He doesn't know what will happen in the future.

Of course, McKillop doesn’t want his precious player to be troubled by injuries. Curry’s attributes are a bit glassy after all, so he asked Curry to focus his offense on shooting instead of layups. This is also what Dell meant. As a former NBA player, no one understands the importance of injuries to an NBA player better than him.

How many people are lost is due to injuries, so the style of play is very important.

As for Lin Yue, during this period of time, the special weight gain plan formulated by the coaching staff for him made his weight change to 94 kg. His growth has not been much, but his body shape has improved significantly compared to before. The rest is to follow the steps step by step, and his height has also risen to 198cm. The key point is that Lin Yue still has a growing trend, and his talent has not yet been fully developed.

McKillop is very optimistic about this pair. In the eyes of Lin Yue and Curry, he is also a mentor. If McKillop hadn't caught his eye and vigorously cultivated them, maybe they are just mediocre players now, and the NBA is a distant dream.

Maxima often has it, but Bole does not often have it.

McKillop gave them hope, and hard work is the best reward for the coach.

……

"Lin, we will play the Southern Conference Championship in seven days. Not surprisingly, the 'Crazy Three' will be in the near future, the time is so fast!" Curry said with emotion, the scene of last year's round of tours seemed to be yesterday, and now they will launch a new challenge.

"Stephen, did you say that you will participate in the draft after the 'Crazy Three' is over? Maybe the NBA is really not far away." Lin Yue looked at the lights on the ceiling. The lights were very dazzling. He reached out and tried to catch the light, just like a dream shining into reality.

"I don't know." Curry averaged 34 points per game this season and won the scoring title in the NCAA regular season. It is estimated that the All-American lineup will also be included. More recognition will increase his exposure.

"My parents hope that I can go to a big city, and the results of the lottery have not yet come out, but the coach suggested that I go to the draft early. If I play for another year and accidentally get injured, it will have a great impact on my draft position." Curry is also a little confused about the future.

Lin Yue can't give Curry any advice. Now he is only at the end of the first round. Although he can enter the NBA, he is not satisfied with this position. He is a proud person. Yao Ming is the No. [-] pick. He also wants to get closer to his predecessors.

"Don't just talk about me, Lin, what about you?"

"Me, I may stay in Davidson for another year. Now my skills are not enough to play in the NBA. Maybe next year my ability will improve a lot and the pick will be advanced."

"Or, I will accompany you to compete in the NCAA for another year."

During the time spent with Lin Yue, Curry and him have developed a deep friendship. The two are always competing in training, urging each other; sharing emotional difficulties or joy; talking about which team and star, and arguing over some games.

These little things really made Curry a little bit sad, leaving Lin Yue in the NCAA, but he went to the NBA.

"It's okay, you go to the NBA to help me test the situation first, so I can prepare in advance, maybe we can become teammates in the NBA." Lin Yue is also very reluctant to let go of his first friend in the United States, but there is no need for Curry to waste a year with him and take risks.

"Let's talk later."

"I'm going to bed, I have to get up early tomorrow."

"Yes, there is still class tomorrow morning."

Curry and Lin Yue went back to the room to rest, but they didn't fall asleep immediately. The slightly heavy topic just now lingered in their minds. They had many fantasies about the future.

But in the eyes of the two, maybe this is their last year as teammates, wearing Davidson's jersey, what will happen to the "Kulin pick and roll".

Lin Yue told Li Mengyao about this, and now he is used to sharing every detail of his life with each other, and Li Mengyao will always listen to his troubles and give him advice.

【Mengmeng, what do you think I should do】

"Mengmeng" is now Lin Yue's nickname for Li Mengyao. Li Mengyao was very resistant at first. You know, even her parents never called her that, so it was embarrassing to be called by Lin Yue like this.

However, Lin Yue has a thick skin. At this time, his EQ suddenly went online, and he chanted "Mengmeng" every day. Li Mengyao was annoyed by him, and got used to this nickname, so he let him call him that.

Lin Yue was naturally very happy. The more intimate the barking was, the better their relationship was, and the more opportunities he had.

In fact, Li Mengyao also likes him now. Lin Yue's sense of crisis is actually just wishful thinking, but she likes seeing Lin Yue anxious, which shows that he cares about herself.

Li Mengyao looked at what Lin Yue sent and thought about it. After all, she didn't know what kind of friendship Lin Yue and Curry belonged to. She didn't have teammates or anything, but she also knew that it was uncomfortable for her friends to leave. If Curry and Lin Yue were no longer teammates, they would still miss the past when they fought side by side.

[Just do what you think, although there is reluctance, but everyone should think about the future, you also hope he has a good future]

【Well, what Mengmeng said makes sense】

【It's so late, go to bed early】

【Good night】

【Good morning】

The time difference still makes it difficult for two people from different countries to adapt, but this problem has to be solved if they are together in the future.

"I have to enter the NBA to make a lot of money, and when the time comes, I will take over my parents and her, so that I can avoid the pain of lovesickness."

Thinking of this, Lin Yue was also determined to fall asleep as soon as possible, he had to recover his spirit first.

As for Curry, Lin Yue believes that he can handle all this well, and he definitely has his own ideas about the future.
