This Forward is Not Serious

What are basketball tactics?

This is a very broad thing.

According to the written statement, basketball tactics are the general term for the offensive and defensive methods used by players in a basketball game, and are the organizational form of the reasonable use of individual skills of players and the mutual cooperation between players.

But the purpose of basketball tactics is relatively narrow, it mainly includes two aspects.

One is to send the basketball into the basket in an easier way;

The second is to allow more players to participate in the offense and maintain enthusiasm on the court.

The second point is easily overlooked, and the first point is the most critical point.

Take the broken zone defense mentioned by Springman as an example.

Partially play more and less means to create open opportunities, and then use methods including but not limited to three-pointers to send the ball into the basket more easily.

Then why is this emphasized when breaking the zone defense?

This has a lot to do with the way of defense.

Zone defense is a defensive method in which players are responsible for defending their respective areas. This means that only the entire defensive formation is moving during defense, and the players on the left will not move to the right.

Then how to achieve local more and less?

It's also very simple. According to the characteristics of the zone defense, as long as the inside line of the offensive side does a pick-and-roll at a high position, and then the center line or one side of the player moves to the other side, it will form a partial overplay.

This is why many times when there is a zone defense on the field, you can often see the scene where players go from the bottom line to the other side to catch the ball and shoot an open three-pointer.

Springman's example is very vivid.

It is different from knowing how to solve a problem when you were a student, and why you can solve it that way.

Lin Ying looked at the basketball technique and tactics manual on the table after listening to it, just like reading a martial arts cheat book.

If he mastered these tactics, it would definitely bring his strength to a higher level.

"Coach, thank you."

Lin Ying looked at Springman with gratitude from the bottom of her heart.

Durant first, then Springman, this world is much better than the world before him!

Springman smiled and nodded to Lin Ying, the picture was very warm.

"Ross, what about mine?"

But this warm picture was quickly broken by a word.

The one who broke it was naturally Durant.

Durant looked at Springman expectantly, just like a child asking for candy from his parents.

Springman froze for a moment.

Ah, I didn't ask you to come here before!

But looking at Durant's expectant eyes, he certainly couldn't say that directly.

"Kevin, you are good enough."

Springman said with a smile.

Durant froze for a moment, then nodded with a smile.

Although I didn't get anything, would you not like to hear the coach say you are awesome?

As soon as he came out of Springman's room, Durant bumped Lin Ying with his shoulder.

Although he didn't say anything, he could feel that he was completely happy for Lin Ying.

"It's Christmas in two days, why don't you come to my house?"

Durant then extended an invitation to Lin Ying.

Christmas, in the United States, is equivalent to the Spring Festival in China, and it is the most important day of the year.

Lin Ying was not very familiar with Durant at that time last year, so this is the first time Durant sent him such an invitation.

"Don't worry, it's not a party, it's just me and my family."

Durant didn't respond when he saw Lin Ying for the first time, and then added.

Lin Ying nodded after hearing this.

During the Spring Festival, his "uncle" would take him with him, but he spent Christmas alone at the training ground last year.

Durant has said so, indicating that he really wants him to go, and he can't refuse.

After all, Durant was his only friend.

Durant jumped excitedly when he saw Lin Ying agreeing, and was quite happy.

A few days later, Christmas 2006 arrived as scheduled.

On Christmas Eve, Lin Ying and Durant went to his home together.

A very ordinary small attic.

Others in the room were already there: Durant's mother, Wanda Platt, grandmother, Barbara Davis, brother Tony Durant, and Michael Beasley.

Regarding Beasley, Durant had talked to Lin Ying more or less before.

Beasley's family is worse than Durant's. Like Durant, his parents divorced, but his father did not pay child support, and his mother worked several part-time jobs to support the family, which made him grow up completely freely.

It is not difficult to understand why Beasley has so much trouble off the court.

It's just a melon vine, if you don't give it a little traction, it will basically grow crooked, let alone people?

Fortunately, Beasley got acquainted with Durant, and Wanda was a good person and adopted Beasley.

So in a sense, Beasley can also be regarded as one of Durant's "family members".

There are not many people, but there is something to eat for Christmas, and the house is decorated with a festive atmosphere.

All of this was done by Durant's mother, Wanda.

Wanda is also very enthusiastic towards Lin Ying, that kind of maternal love makes Lin Ying feel an indescribable warmth in her heart.

While eating, Wanda kept delivering things to his plate.

Seeing that he didn't do much, she even got up and tore the turkey leg off for him.

Feeling sand in her eyes, Lin Ying got up and said she was going to the bathroom.

When he got to the toilet and closed the door, he couldn't control his emotions and cried.

In fact, among the three, he may be the worst one.

Because the last time he felt this kind of tenderness was when he was very young.

It was really small, so small that he couldn't even remember what it felt like.

For a long time after that, he never got another chance.

After waiting for quite a while, Lin Ying regained her composure, washed her face and left the bathroom.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that Lin Ying's eye circles were red, Wanda asked with concern.

"It's okay, a bug flew in."

Lin Ying opened her mouth to explain.

"I have already said that the bathroom needs to be installed with a screen window, otherwise there will be a lot of bugs."

Durant said after hearing it.

"It's December, so there are so many bugs."

Tony Durant on the side said and knocked Durant on the head.

The two quickly argued.

"Okay, let's eat first, who wants another turkey leg?"

Wanda spoke at this time.

"I want!"

"I want, as an older brother, don't you know how to give way to your younger brother?"

"My brother also needs to grow up. I'm looking for a girlfriend."

...

Looking at the two people who kept bickering, Lin Ying felt like a furnace was burning inside.

Compared with his deserted environment most of the time, probably this is the atmosphere of home.

After dinner, the room finally became quieter.

Durant was sitting on the balcony looking outside at this time.

Lin Ying walked over after seeing it.

"When I was young and lived in the city, there would be a choir singing at the door after 12 o'clock."

Seeing Lin Ying coming, Durant looked outside and said.

His eyes are full of memories, and it seems that their family's living conditions were not bad before.

But it is also understandable that it would be nice for a woman in Wanda to do her best to maintain the family.

"So I have a wish. If one day I am selected by the NBA, the first thing I will do is to buy a house for my family."

When Durant said this, his eyes were firm. He should have had this idea for a long time.

Except for some "quirks", his three views are really positive.

"I mean, when I save enough money, I have to buy a big house, because our family is big enough, and I will give you a room at that time."

Durant finished speaking and then added.

He should have thought that his rookie salary might not be enough to buy a house.

Lin Ying was taken aback, he could feel that what Durant said just now meant that he also regarded him as "family".

The fire in his heart grew hotter.

"Then you have to fight to get rid of Greg Oden as the No. 1 pick."

Lin Ying said with a smile.

"No. 1 scholar...wait a minute."

Durant originally wanted to say that being the No. 1 pick was not so easy, but soon turned his head to look at Lin Ying.

He looked at it for a while.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Ying felt a little uncomfortable being watched by Durant.

And it's not the first time Durant has seen him that way.

The first two times he asked Durant, Durant didn't speak.

"Did you find that you and your senior year have changed a lot?"

But this time the atmosphere may be different, Durant spoke.

"What?"

Lin Ying didn't know what Durant was referring to.

"Even if you were with me, you rarely joked before, but after arriving in Austin, you are much more cheerful."

"Have it?"

"have."

Durant gave a very positive answer.

Lin Ying thought for a while, but said nothing.

It seems so.

This change is something he didn't notice, but it has a lot to do with the environment.

Especially the group of people he met after entering the University of Texas, Randy Williams, AJ Abrams, Springman, including Wanda tonight, are very different from the people he met before. Same.

There was a sudden silence, both of them were thinking about their own things.

"Have you thought about when to enter the NBA draft?"

After a while, it was Durant who asked first.

"Maybe the year after next."

Lin Ying gave an uncertain answer.

Although he was on TNT before and recently entered the team's starting lineup, he is still different from Durant's historically talented "monster".

In particular, the University of Texas is not considered an NCAA giant. If he wants to be selected, he probably has to wait for Durant to leave the team and then become the team's head star before he has a chance.

So if it is the fastest, it will not have a chance until the end of next season, that is, in 2008.

"Have you ever thought about us getting into the NBA together?"

Durant asked next.

Lin Ying nodded.

Of course he thought about this. They went to high school together and then went to college together. If they could enter the NBA together, that would be a great thing.

But as he thought, his chances of entering the NBA with Durant are not great.

"If we can win the NCAA championship this season, we can run together next year!"

Durant said suddenly.

"champion?"

Lin Ying looked at Durant in surprise.

Before the start of the season, Barnes' thick chicken soup gave the University of Texas players the idea of ​​reaching the championship and even going further.

But even then, they didn't think about winning the championship.

It's too far away for them.

Especially after playing against Kansas, they know how far away their strength is from the championship.

Because in the power list, there are teams stronger than Kansas.

The strongest are the big villain Ohio State University with "Thanos" Oden and "handsome version of Ebony Throat" Conley, and the "Avengers" Florida University with Noah, Horford, and Brewer.

The strength of these two universities is stronger than other schools. The University of Texas beats them like hitting a stone with an egg.

"Yes, champion!"

Durant's eyes were firm.

"Although we don't have that strength yet, we are making progress. Beating Iowa State is just the beginning. We will become stronger and stronger. As long as we have ideas, we have a chance to win the championship!"

Speaking of the excitement, Durant looked at Lin Ying with blazing eyes.

Lin Ying was infected by Durant's words.

When he first traveled a year ago, he was not even a starter in the high school team.

But after a year of "suicide" training, he not only became a starter, but also entered the NCAA Division I.

Then in just half a year at the University of Texas, he went from a substitute to a starter.

He probably underestimated his own progress, just as he and everyone else underestimated the progress of Texas.

In fact nothing is impossible, as Durant said, as long as they dare to think!

And as long as they win the championship, he has a great chance to enter the NBA with Durant!

That was the happiest thing for him!

Seeing that the desire in Lin Ying's eyes was also aroused by him, Durant then stretched out his hand and stretched out his little finger.

This is an agreement with Lagou Lin Ying.

Lin Ying also extended her hand, and the two 18-year-old boys reached an agreement with their little fingers.

They want to win this season's championship, and then enter the NBA together!

"Just start with Kansas!"

After pulling the hook, Durant continued.

Lin Ying nodded vigorously.

The last time I lost to Kansas, I didn't have a temper, but it was also a pity.

The next time they meet again, they will win back what they lost in one go!
