Please call me Ding Shenxian in the NBA

Chapter 105 102. Larry Bird: Ding Yan Yuhang is No.2 ([-] words)
Harvard is back at home against MIT.

"They only came with six players?"

Seeing the MIT lineup, Brother Kazi was stunned.

Is MIT virtuous people bold or are they just here to send warmth?

Shuhao and the others are well aware of MIT's strength, and if they don't win by 50 points tonight, it's a shame.

The level of the six MIT players was lackluster, and they didn't even play a game. They were already trembling just seeing Xiaoding.

In some universities, the academics are so bad that even if the basketball team is very strong, they can't play in the third-level league.

Some universities have top-notch academics, but the basketball team is so sloppy that they can even lie in the third-tier league.

The NCAA is not a fair platform for competition, so talented players have to sharpen their heads and get into elite basketball schools.

Only by standing on the shoulders of giants can we see farther scenery.

Xiaoding's choice cannot be said to be correct, because he has to climb up from the giant's ankle to stand on the same starting line with Wall and others.

So against such a weak team, he will explode!
"This is Xiaoding's sixth 6-pointer, right?"

Ma Jian was extremely shocked. In addition to 3 points, Xiao Ding also had dunks, free throws and mid-range shots. In just 15 minutes, he scored 30 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks by himself!

"Xiao Ding beat the entire MIT team!"

"Look at the desperate expressions of the opponents, I guess Xiao Ding will leave a psychological shadow on them."

At halftime, 61:22, the Crimson lead by 39 points!
"Ding, do you still want to play in the second half?"

Coach Tommy took the initiative to ask Xiao Ding, and it is not difficult to break the NCAA single-game three-point record based on Xiao Ding's touch.

However, Xiao Ding shook his head. He covered his face with a towel and sat on the bench recalling his few mistakes in the first half.

very good!

Coach Tommy admires Xiaoding more and more.

After all, only data that helps the team win is good data.

Xiaoding has already helped the team secure the victory, and if he plays in the garbage time, he will only collect invalid data. The choice of moderation is the right one.

Throughout the second half, the Crimson team didn't play any more starters.

MIT got a little breathing room, but they couldn't close the gap to within 30 points.

91: 54!

Harvard beat MIT by 37 points to maintain its 11-game winning streak!

"Ding, congratulations on your 11-game winning streak. The Crimson team is simply unstoppable!"

Faced with the Migo reporter's interview, Xiaoding's expression was still cold, "Thank you, we just won the game we should have won."

"You mean the opponent is weak?"

Knowing that it was a fishing question, Xiao Ding replied directly, "It's not that they are weak, but our strength is superior to them."

Of course a weak team like MIT wouldn't care about being cueed by Ding Ding, but the Georgetown Hoyas were shot. After all, no matter how weak they are, they are still a strong team that can enter the championship.

"He really dares to say it!"

The Crimson win, and Pierce nearly smashes the TV again.

He looked at Xiao Ding's arrogance in the interview, and wondered what method he should use to teach Xiao Ding to be a man...

Two days later, the Harvard Crimson continued to play at home against the George Washington Colonists.

This is a mid-level team in the A-10 league, not cannon fodder, but it doesn't have quasi-NBA players.

上半场，小丁再次轰下27分6篮板6助攻3抢断1盖帽的全面数据。

卡子哥11分6篮板1抢断3盖帽、书豪10分3篮板5助攻1抢断，他们三个人的各项技术统计相加之和全面碾压殖民者队。

At 61:39, the Crimson temporarily led by 22 points.

In the second half, Xiao Ding came up and scored 11 points to take away the suspense of the game.

At the end of the game, 100:70, the Crimson team gave the Colonists a big defeat with 30 points.

而小丁贡献了38分10篮板8助攻4抢断1盖帽的统治级数据。

Colonists coach Carl Hobbs sighed, "God, Ding's strength has exceeded the upper limit of the NCAA by a lot. He should play in the NBA instead of staying in college to make opponents feel desperate!"

Seattle, Washington.

The Crimson are at Seattle University.

Jeremy Lin played well and scored 26 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals. He became the best player of the game.

小丁只打了11分钟，贡献了20分4篮板2助攻1抢断1盖帽。

Brother Kazi didn't score in the first half, but scored a double-double of 11 points, 12 rebounds and 3 steals in the second half.

At 91:70, Harvard beat Seattle by 21 points and won 12 consecutive victories.

Over the New Year's Day break, the Harvard Crimson team hosted a special guest.

Boston Celtics legend 'Big Bird' Larry Bird.

Coach Tommy excitedly changed into a big-name suit, and arranged for the staff to clean up the school team's training hall early on.

All Bostonians will not hate Bird, because Bird and Magic symbolize the glorious 80s, and he is also one of the greatest superstars in the history of the giants.

On the surface, Bird came to Harvard to give a speech. His real goal is Ding Yan Yuhang, the head star of the Crimson team and currently the most talked-about basketball player in Boston.

After leaving the Celtics, Bird returned to his hometown Indiana Pacers.

He has always wanted to lead his hometown team to win the championship. After experiencing the failure of Jermaine O's youth team, Bird did not give up. Now the Pacers have many outstanding young people, so he wants to build another youth team!

Daytime speeches, sitting without absence.

Bird's popularity can be imagined.

In the afternoon, Bird said to Coach Tommy, "I know your Crimson team has been gaining momentum recently. I want to visit your training hall, is that okay?"

At this time, Xiaoding and others are training.

Even if it's the Lunar New Year, they have to train until 4 pm before they can take a night off.

Tommy was excited, "Of course."

Bird patted Tommy on the shoulder. They were about the same age and both played basketball for a living, but their identities were vastly different.

Not all coaches of college teams have ridiculously high annual salaries. Coaches of weak teams like Tommy who have not led the team to achieve good results do not have a high status in school and society.

So Bird's overtures made Tommy feel like he'd hit the jackpot.

Bird is smart, he knows how to get Tommy to do things for him.

The two chatted about Xiaoding's thoughts on the road.

"Are you sure Ding will participate in the 10-year draft?"

"Of course, Ding made it clear to me that he will only play for one year. Although I feel very sorry, his ability to play in the NCAA is too wasteful. He can play in the NBA now."

Looking at Byrd's playful expression, Tommy realized what he wanted to do, and then said, "He will participate in the draft, so next year's No. [-] pick must be very valuable!"

"That's right..."

Bird has been eyeing the No. 10 pick for [-] years.

Now the Pacers can no longer keep up with the Wizards and other teams. From the perspective of the lottery mechanism, the probability of them getting the No. [-] lottery is not high.

If Xiaoding can publicly express where he wants to play, he may be able to promote the transaction from the side. This is the real purpose of Bird wanting to contact Xiaoding.

Of course, he would not personally say such illegal recruitment to Xiao Ding, and Bird would let Tommy listen to him.

When he came to the training hall, Bird happened to see the crimson team's intra-team training game.

Xiaoding hit Kawhi Leonard with a clear advantage in wingspan, hit back, and succeeded in a fadeaway jumper!

"Look, Xiaoding's skills have matured, as long as he wants, he can score 40 points every night!"

Tommy said proudly, it seems that Xiaoding is so strong because of him.

It is only a small probability that Ding and Leonard come to the Crimson team to go to school. They will leave after playing for a year, and then the Crimson team will return to a big team.

Tommy also doesn't want to stay at Harvard to waste his youth. He has ambitions and wants to enter the NBA.

Bird is the best springboard, as long as Bird, who is the general manager of the Pacers, can bring him to the NBA with a word.

Even if it's just an assistant coach or a consultant for the Pacers, he wants a chance.

"Larry Bird?!"

Van Nestor's hands were shaking with excitement.

As a white player, how could he not admire the strongest white player in NBA history?

"My God, it's really Big Bird himself."

"What's the situation, Bird came to Harvard, and our basketball team didn't know?"

"..."

The entire crimson team fell into a brief ecstasy.

Bird noticed that there were only two people whose expressions didn't change.

One is Ding Yan Yuhang, he didn't fart so badly that he ignored Byrd, but politely looked at him with a smile, and then there was nothing else.

The other is Kawhi Leonard, who also exchanged glances with Bird, but he still has that poker face, born with facial paralysis or knows how to suppress his personal feelings?

Originally, Bird was only interested in Ding, but now he has started to pay attention to Brother Kazi, "I remember the scouts reported to me a player with a flamboyant personality called Paul George. It would be very interesting to let this Kawhi Leonard partner with him!"

"You have two great players!"

Bird bowed his head and said to Tommy, implying that he was interested in both Ding and Ka.

Shuhao was directly excluded by Bird.

Now this Pacers team does not have an absolute core, and All-Star player Danny Granger is not enough to become the boss of a championship-level team.

The 10 draft was a key turning point for Bird to rebuild the Pacers.

The scouts he sent collected a lot of information, and Bird selected 5 people from them, Ding Yan Yuhang, John Wall, Evan Turner, Wesley Johnson and Paul George.

Now he has Kawhi Leonard added to his roster.

Tommy is not stupid, "they are not only good, but also very professional."

"How to say?"

"They're good kids who listen to the coach."

Hearing this, Bird smiled, and silently remembered the name Tommy Amek, who may have a place in the Pacers coaching staff next season.

"Go ahead and leave me alone."

Bird sat happily on the sidelines, with a big belly, he was indeed no longer the same as the bully king back then.

"Bird as my audience?"

Van Nestor shouted excitedly.

Kyle Casey complained mercilessly, "I'm here to see Xiao Ding!"

"..."

Van Nestor was hit a bit, but he quickly cheered up, "It's okay, anyway, I want Bird to remember my name!"

Thinking of this, Van Nestor became active.

Any NCAA player who has received systematic training can play a good tactical coordination. His first game against the Hoyas can prove that as long as he puts his heart into it, he can play well.

The same is true now.

Van Nestor received an assist from Jeremy and dunked Keith Wright vigorously!

Bird laughed and clapped his hands. He even put on a show, turned his head and asked Tommy, "What's the big guy's name?"

"Christian Van Nest!"

Of course Tommy knew that Byrd was not interested in Van Nestor, but he had to play a full set of acting.

Van Nestor was even more excited.

Even when Xiao Ding hit the basket, Van Nestor had the courage to block the shot with all his strength.

"No way?"

"Can Van Nestor jump that high?"

Shuhao and others were stunned, because it seemed that Van Nestor might be able to catch Xiaoding's layup.

Bird narrowed his eyes, "Ding, what would you do with the ball?"

Just when Van Nestor was about to hit the basketball, Xiao Ding collected the ball smartly and replaced it with a backhand for a layup.

"Damn..."

Van Nestor fell to the ground depressed, and he thought about it, "I thought I could beat Xiao Ding, I was so naive."

Then, Xiao Ding patted his chest, "You defend well."

Coach Tommy was used to watching Xiao Dingxiu's extreme pull-up, so he turned his head to look at Bird.

I saw Byrd's expression became very serious, with a strange light in his eyes.

Excellent stay in the air!Perfect technique!
If nothing else, Ding Yan Yuhang will definitely become the best No. 5 pick in the NBA in the past five years!

Bird looked at Ding with satisfaction. It seemed that the scout report was very reliable. This kid might really become the first yellow-skinned Jordan successor.

Of course, the title of Jordan's successor, which was once in vogue, has not been mentioned for a long time.

But in Bird's heart, the NBA does not need a second LeBron James, and playing like Jordan is still the main theme in his eyes.

Because Jordan was too legendary and too dominant.

Ding's style of play is close to that of Jordan, which is an important guarantee for him to become a superstar.

Soon, Brother Kazi completed the steal on the defensive end.

He was silent and played two-on-one with Xiaoding in the frontcourt.

Brother Kazi hit the basketball on the backboard and bounced back, Xiao Ding jumped up, raised his hands high and dunked the basketball into the hoop!
"you're very lucky!"

Bird elbowed Tommy and continued to laugh, "You have the college version of Jordan and Pippen!"

"Well, so to speak..."

Tommy laughed.

There is no need to pretend in front of this kind of boss, because everyone understands it.

Phil Jackson is indeed great, but without such superstars as Jordan, Kobe, O'Pang, and Pippen, his tactics would not have caused a storm in the league. Therefore, luck is a kind of strength.

Tommy believes that the probability of winning the championship this year is very high, and the rest is how much benefit he can use Xiaoding's fame to gain.

Bird looked at it for a while longer, and he said to Tommy, "Can I practice with them?"

"of course can!"

Tommy hurriedly called the players to line up.

Bird smiled and picked up a basketball and started to dribble, "I haven't played for a long time, so let's compete with you guys on shooting. I guess I can't shoot you..."

I don't even pretend to be a king, my youth is over.

Van Nestor rubbed his eyes sadly.

However, Bird didn't dribble beyond the three-point line at all. He just walked past the LOGO and raised his hand to shoot. The basketball swished into the frame!
Big Bird turned around proudly and said, "Nice, even though I am old and the pebbles have turned into boulders, the basket is still the sea to me, and it is easy to throw a boulder into the sea. Now it's your turn..."

"..."

The entire team of the Crimson team was stunned, so they suppressed their ambitions, and they were as aggressive as they were back then.

Dang Dang Dang Dang!
There were bursts of iron strikes in the Crimson Training Hall.

Bird pointed at the Crimson players one by one, "I just want to know who can become No.2 (the one who scored the goal)!"

Swish, Xiaoding tried LOGO SHOT 3 times before he shot it.

"Aha, Ding Yan Yuhang is No.2!"

"..."

Xiao Ding said, why do I sound like I want to hit someone...

It can only be said that Bird's first appearance left an 'indelible' impression on Xiaoding.
