This Forward is Not Serious

On the day of the game against North Carolina, the University of Texas specially conducted a full-court tactical drill.

In fact, they had practiced this tactic before.

Because it is different from systematic tactics like triangle tactics.

You can understand it as the most common tactic like the pick-and-roll.

But there is a difference between practicing and practicing in a targeted manner.

Who can't pick and roll? But who can play 6 like the Jazz?

That's the difference.

They trained very well.

The University of Texas has played so far, the most dazzling must be Durant, followed by Lin Ying.

But they are not the only ones who can contribute to the team.

In the pressing tactic, James can play the greatest role.

He is similar to Corey Brewer at the University of Florida and is the team's defensive arrow.

This is determined by his current technical characteristics.

His shooting and dribbling are not very good, and his scoring methods are relatively simple;

But he has excellent athletic ability, outstanding rebounding ability, active defense, and is best at defensive counterattacks.

Coupled with his excellent wingspan, he is indeed the most suitable person for leading defense.

After the training in the morning, the team members are free to move around.

Barnes did not arrange training in the afternoon, but also allowed them to go out for a walk, which is to let them adjust their bodies and minds to the best state before the game.

Lin Ying and Durant went straight back to the hotel.

Durant also deliberately ran downstairs and bought a game console.

It really is a senior otaku.

However, he failed to play in the school video room before, which can be regarded as making up for regrets.

It's also nice to have two big men playing video games in the room.

They all ordered takeout.

Because there are few authentic Chinese restaurants near the hotel this time, Lin Ying ordered some Chinese food.

The takeaway was delivered, and the two stopped the game to eat.

Seeing Lin Ying eating Chinese food, Durant was full of curiosity, and finally couldn't help but try it.

As a result, he gave up after only one bite.

There is still a big difference in taste between Chinese and Western food.

It is not ruled out that a small number of people can accept it, but most people's reactions will be similar to Durant's.

This is why most Chinese restaurants will improve and serve dishes like General Tso's Chicken.

The market determines demand.

Those who take a bite of authentic Chinese food to express their great love, and then frantically give their thumbs up, are just trying to make money from the Chinese.

As for the novel My Shooting Is So Accurate that Lin Ying had read before, it was said that teammates couldn't put it down after being burned out.

After eating, the two of them, Ge You, lay down to rest.

When it's time to train, they train desperately, and when it's time to rest, they can lie down and never get up.

Moreover, it has been scientifically proven that lying down after eating is the most beneficial way for your health.

It's just that after entering the top 32, there are fewer games, and there are fewer live broadcasts they can watch.

There was no game right now, so Durant switched to TNT to watch the inside story of the latest issue of NBA.

What did the 'friends' who took the video think?

Durant couldn't help complaining about Ricky Davis and Haslem.

If this matter is exposed, there are few fines, and it is very likely that the player's career will be ruined.

It's really boosting a knife for a friend.

Lin Ying was relatively calm, and even picked up the water beside her and drank it.

The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds. D'Angelo Russell even recorded a video of Nick Young's cheating remarks in the locker room and put it on the Internet.

Who you think is not always who you think.

It seems that I have to use a trumpet on social media in the future, or else...

puff!

Lin Ying sprayed a sip of water.

Good guy!

What did he hear? !

It turns out that Durant likes to use the trumpet because of this matter?

What's wrong?

Durant didn't expect Lin Ying to react so strongly.

I'm choking, it's good, keep your privacy.

Lin Ying continued.

In fact, the practical trumpet is basically used by celebrities, so there is nothing surprising about it.

Just don't dial the wrong number.

He couldn't help but reminded.

Durant smiled and nodded after listening.

Would he make such a low-level mistake?

Soon the show moved to the NCAA section.

Seeing the University of Texas become the focus of TNT's big three talks, that feeling is still very good.

Playing to win, but also to get the approval of others!

Winning a game without spectators is not fun.

Soon, they discussed Lin Ying.

This guy doesn't understand you at all! Just like he didn't understand Yao before!

Hearing Barkley's evaluation of Lin Ying, Durant's unhappiness was written all over his face.

But Lin Ying fell into deep thought.

He had no real contact with Barkley, and he didn't know the purpose of Barkley's words.

But from a rational point of view, there is nothing wrong with this suggestion.

Lin Ying turned her head to look at Durant who was still complaining.

In the past, whenever there was anything, he would discuss it with this only friend.

But as to whether he should participate in the draft this year, he can only bury it in his heart because he has been involved with Durant.

But just like Durant back then, after the two chatted last time, he had already made a decision.

Durant chose to play an extra year in college so he could.

Then he will also run for Durant this year!

So what he will do next is to try his best to make the University of Texas go further, and try his best to show himself to make his draft pick as high as possible.

The show quickly moved on to the most entertaining part.

Listening to Barkley talking about Jordan's Law of Losing, Lin Ying couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He knows Jordan's stalk better than anyone else.

He wondered if he would actually see Jordan there.

If Jordan really went, from a metaphysical point of view, the University of Texas is already stable!

...

The game between the University of Texas and the University of North Carolina is at 8 p.m.

The game in prime time shows that the outside world is paying close attention to this game.

The schedule of each stage is determined before the start, and the University of Texas has the light of North Carolina this time.

If they don't have an upset, tonight will be a contest between North Carolina and Georgetown.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, they had dinner and rested for a while, and they took the bus to the arena around six o'clock.

Go two hours early to warm up.

Otherwise, if they don't train this afternoon and don't warm up in the evening, their physical condition will not be able to get up.

When the bus arrived, there were already many fans lining up outside the Edward Jones Dome.

Compared with the original in Atlanta, the enthusiasm of the fans seems to be better.

Kevin, look over there.

Augustine yelled at this moment.

Following the direction of his finger, Lin Ying and Durant unconsciously turned their heads to look.

Hey guys, it turned out to be a sexy female fan wearing a jersey with Durant's head on it!

Noticing the arrival of the bus, she was waving and cheering with other fans.

And because of the big breasts, the head is particularly three-dimensional, and then it swayed.

Lin Ying felt a little dizzy.

There was a whistle from teammates in the bus, and Durant blushed a little.

It's not that he's shy, it's the occasion.

If he met alone, he would definitely leave a contact information!

This was just an episode. After the bus entered the arena, the players changed their equipment and went to the arena to warm up.

Fans entered the arena one after another, and an hour before the start of the game, the arena was almost full.

They are really hungry for the game.

Lin Ying looked around and did not see Jordan's figure.

Looks like Jordan isn't here tonight.

After a while, there was a commotion on the bench.

He turned to look.

TJ Ford is here!

Ford looks old.

Although not as exaggerated as Oden's, 24 years old looks like 34 years old.

But it does give people a very mature feeling.

Durant went out of his way to wipe sweat off his hands with his jersey when he shook hands in the past.

This is a living legend.

Ford seemed to admire Durant, complimenting him endlessly.

Look at Durant's embarrassed look.

That picture is pretty rare.

Lin Ying also walked over.

He looked at Ford with admiration.

There is a very classic line in Iron Man: stand shoulder to shoulder with a god with a mortal body.

Ford has that disease and has created so many records, and now he has a firm foothold in the NBA. This kind of person is worthy of admiration.

I watched the video of your game against Georgetown. It's incredible. You will make new history for the University of Texas.

The arrival of Ford has already been a great spiritual encouragement to the University of Texas, and what he said at the end made the players' confidence surge.

When Ford returned to the auditorium, Springman brought Lin Ying to the player tunnel.

Someone was waiting for him there, because he arrived around the same time as Ford, and he had been waiting for a while.

Lin Ying went over to take a look.

Yang Yi is here.

And this time he was not alone, there was a tall man standing beside him.

Ma Jian!

Unlike Yang Yi and his wave of well-known commentators, Ma Jian is a representative of athletes turning commentators.

And to be honest, Ma Jian is the first person in history to play in the NCAA and almost be selected by the NBA.

There is no assumption in history, but if Ma Jian plays a little better and is selected by the NBA, then the historical opportunities of domestic basketball will be very different.

At the very least, there will definitely be a considerable number of young players trying to squeeze into the NCAA league.

You must know that there are many ways to succeed in this world, but the most stable way is to follow the path that others have walked.

Yang Yi knew Lin Ying's character, so he spoke quickly and said everything he needed to say.

Lin Ying was also shocked after hearing this.

Yes, shocking.

Because the two of them here tonight are not just doing interviews like in the past, but the game will be broadcast in China tonight!

More precisely, it should be that a certain wave will broadcast it online!

It was normal for Lin Ying to be shocked.

Because in the history he knows, the NCAA did not have a live broadcast until a very late stage, and very few people watched it.

Although theoretically this is indeed possible.

The reason why the NCAA sees few people is nothing more than that there are no Chinese and no players.

Now that he played, the Basketball Pioneer has continued to follow up and report. I am afraid that the domestic fans already know all the players of the University of Texas.

It is even possible that, like the Rockets, each nickname has already been played.

Texas Lights Durant, AJ Abrams, Big Baby Pittman, Knife Guard James...

But when you suddenly told him that there was a live broadcast, he could understand, but was still shocked.

Because it was so ahead of its time.

Yang Yi seemed to have guessed his expression, so he followed suit and explained.

A certain wave did not reach a long-term broadcast agreement with the NCAA, but bought one by one.

And it was Ma Jian standing aside who made all of this happen.

It may be unbelievable to say it, Ma Jian flew overnight to talk about this, and then only slept for two hours so far.

This guy is definitely insane.

However, Ma Jian and Lin Ying exchanged a few words, and when he finally said that sentence, he understood it immediately.

1.3 billion people across the country are watching you, you must work hard!

Ma Jian actually had the same idea as PJ Tucker.

They all hope that Lin Ying can make up for the regret that they failed to complete!

It's just that Ma Jian's emotions will be much stronger.

This has to start with Ma Jian's experience.

Ma Jian was invited by the NCAA in 1992, and then entered the NCAA in 1993.

Wang Zhizhi was selected by the NBA in 1999, and then officially landed in the NBA in 2001.

If you know the tortuous experience of Wang Zhizhi's landing in the NBA, you can fully imagine how difficult it was for Ma Jian at that time.

When he was about to go to the NCAA, the Basketball Association directly threatened him to permanently disqualify him from the national team.

Ma Jian chose to be tough, and then he really never appeared in the national team again.

But perhaps the most regrettable thing for Ma Jian is not that he no longer played for the country, but why he couldn't play better in the NCAA.

You must know that in his first year at the University of Utah, his data was 8.2 points and 3.7 rebounds.

If the team hadn't recruited the future No. 2 pick Van Horn in the second year, and if he hadn't lost to Brent Barry in the final moments of the preseason, his NBA dream might have come true.

Then the time when the Chinese entered the NBA was directly 6 years earlier, and perhaps the development of domestic basketball will be different.

So I can fully understand how regretful it is for a basketball player to encounter these.

It is also completely understandable why he is crazy.

Because after many years, someone has embarked on the NCAA's path to the NBA!

Moreover, Lin Ying and Ma Jian are very similar in physical condition.

Ma Jiantian is 2.02 meters tall and has a wingspan of 2.10 meters. He is also a power forward and also a projective style of play.

You say that seeing Lin Ying is not the same as seeing another version of himself, it is not reasonable if he is not crazy.

After the two sides chatted, Ma Jian and Yang Yi went back to the auditorium.

Because it is a broadcast, they are not qualified to comment on the spot, and they still have to wait until after the game to do some interviews.

Lin Ying also went back to warm up.

But this time he felt completely different from before.

He felt great pressure.

1.3 billion people is a bit exaggerated, but this time is the peak of domestic basketball attention.

Even for the NCAA, which they had never seen before, the number of viewers must be in the tens of millions.

If you just talk about the ratings, it will definitely exceed 100 million.

After all, just like when Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi entered the NBA, this moment will be historic.

The pressure was like a mountain, making him a little out of breath.

He took a deep breath.

are you OK?

Durant noticed Lin Ying's strangeness and came over to ask with concern.

Lin Ying nodded to indicate that she was fine.

There was a lot of pressure, but it was something he had to learn to live with.

The only difference is whether it is the current NCAA or the future NBA.
