This Forward is Not Serious

Chapter 2 A Traveler Without a System

The starting lineups on both sides of the field.

Freshman team: Augustin, Durant, Damai James, Lin Ying, Pittman.

Old School: Randy Williams, AJ Abrams, Tool A, Tool B, Chris Wendell.

Pittman and Wendell's jump ball.

Well, Pittman can't jump at all...

Wendell easily turned the ball back to the half court, and the old school team went first.

"The guy has to lose weight."

The game had just started, and Barnes frowned.

The team's freshman recruitment this year was done by Springman, because he was very satisfied with the successful recruitment of Durant.

But this Pittman's size is too exaggerated. Is this a ball or is he a ball?

Wright on the side responded with great interest.

The three coaches have different personalities. His personality just likes stimulation and challenges, and Pittman is very appetizing.

While speaking, the veteran team has already launched an attack.

Although the talent is inferior to that of the freshman team, they cooperate with each other tacitly and have rich experience. They started playing with Pittman.

Wendell made a pick and roll, Pittman couldn't make it out at all, and Abrams easily hit a mid-range jumper near the free throw line.

Freshman offense, Augustin calls out to Pittman for a pick-and-roll drive to the basket.

His speed is not slow, but when he broke into the basket, the veteran team over there had already pinched ahead of time.

He went too deep and couldn't pass the ball, and the defensive swipe ball failed to touch the frame, and was directly capped by Wendell!

After Wendell took the risk, he took the defensive rebound, and the veteran team directly pushed the defense to counterattack.

Abrams caught a long pass from Randy Williams and flew up for another two points.

4 to 0.

The old team gave the freshman team a blow at the beginning!

"AJ has worked hard the last two months."

Springman spoke.

Barnes nodded, but said nothing.

The team's tridents all left school to go to the NBA, and the original team's sixth man, AJ Abrams, stood out.

It's just that although Abrams has a scoring talent, his physical condition is poor and his upper limit is low. No matter how hard he tries, this type of player will not be able to play in the NBA.

The freshman team advanced to the frontcourt again. Durant asked for the ball from a high position and broke through Abrams behind the frame.

Compared to offense, Abrams' defense is a bit eye-catching.

He was passed by Durant in one step...

You must know that Durant didn't have much offensive ability with the ball at this time.

Durant went to the basket, and an easy pick opened the scoring for the freshman team!

He plays shooting guard, but at 2.08 meters tall, he is the tallest among all the players present.

Coupled with his wingspan, he can't stop him at all when he gets to the inside.

However, the veteran team took it easy, turned around and continued to catch Pittman. After passing the ball for a while, Wendell caught the ball at the basket and scored two points.

6 to 2.

The old school team firmly grasped the situation on the court.

Durant caught the ball again in the frontcourt, but this time he had just received the ball, and the old team went straight to double-team.

Durant double-teamed to find the receiver, but lacked the protection of the ball.

"Snapped!"

Randy Williams cut the ball away with quick eyesight and quick hands!

Barnes reached out and stroked the beard under his chin.

Durant's performance in these two rounds is also similar to what he expected: outstanding talent, but like a rough jade, it still needs to be refined.

But at this moment, his chin stroke suddenly stopped.

Because another fast break by the veteran team... failed!

It's not that there is something wrong with their own fast break, but that someone on the freshman team retreated early!

And the man who retreated surprised him.

That was Lin Ying playing power forward!

Lin Ying is not noticeable in other aspects except for his wingspan, and even in the NCAA, he is 2.01 meters tall and can play inside.

But just now, he did not mess with the first defense and the second defense. He successfully judged Abrams' layup intention, not only destroyed the latter's shot, but also took the defensive rebound!

Then, what surprised Barnes even more was yet to come.

After Lin Ying got the rebound, he threw the quarterback-style backcourt leader in the football to Pittman in the frontcourt!

Pittman didn't have time to retreat in the fast attack just now, and he is still in the three-second zone right now.

He catches the ball, turns and it's a close-range easy layup.

6 to 4!

With this defense and one offense, the freshman team temporarily stabilized the situation on the field!

"Where did you find it?"

Barnes turned to Springman and asked, with surprise and curiosity in his tone.

On the first day a freshman joined the team, he hadn't had time to get to know the new players in depth.

In fact, not to mention Barnes, Springman was a little unexpected at the moment.

"He is Kevin's high school teammate. He defends well and has a three-pointer. But the pass just now... I have never seen it."

Springman also told the truth.

The University of Texas itself is not considered a famous school, and Durant still relied on favors and hard work to attract Durant. The threshold is not high among the first-level league teams.

Lin Ying's wingspan is excellent, and he is Durant's teammate, so Springman can be regarded as a normal pick.

"Can he shoot threes?"

Barnes heard another piece of information in Springman's words that surprised him.

Springman nodded.

In the previous basic training, the inside and outside lines were separated, and there was no three-point training on the inside line, so it is not surprising that Barnes did not know.

interesting!

Barnes didn't speak any more, but his eyes were fixed on Lin Ying, looking very interested.

There are also some big men who shoot three-pointers in the NBA in this era. It's not like seeing a monster like seeing one at the beginning of the century.

However, that is a minority after all, and most of the defense is not very good.

Now there is an insider with good defense, good passing and three-pointers. It's no wonder he's not interested!

...

"Do you want to have a new life? The price is that you will disappear from this world, and those who love you and those you love will forget your existence."

A year ago, Lin Ying, a basketball data analyst, popped up such a sentence when she was working.

His instinctive reaction was that it was a prank.

Originally, he should have asked his colleagues in the technical department to deal with it at this time, but he didn't do that.

Because after the subconscious reaction, he hoped it was true.

He grew up in a single-parent family and has an introverted personality.

A few years ago, his close relative passed away due to illness, coupled with his introverted personality being squeezed out by his colleagues, he became even more withdrawn.

He doesn't smoke or drink, let alone a girlfriend, he doesn't have any friends, and his only spiritual sustenance is basketball.

When he has time outside of work, he likes to spend time alone on the basketball court.

However, his height is only 1.75 meters, and his wingspan is also very average. Not to mention the NBA he yearns for, he can't even reach the threshold of professional basketball.

To put it bluntly, the sport of basketball requires hard work and luck, but what is most needed is physical condition.

There are not no short players who can play in the NBA, but apart from being short, other physical conditions are historical.

In the past two years, the work pressure brought about by the epidemic and the life pressure of soaring prices, his spirit has already reached its limit.

"Those who love you and those you love will forget you exist?"

When he saw this sentence, there was no wave in his heart.

Because of these...he didn't have any.

With a hint of expectation, Lin Ying chose yes.

Then when he closed his eyes and opened them again, he realized that he had really time-traveled!

He traveled back to 2005, a Chinese high school student studying abroad!

Then the memory of this body flooded into his consciousness.

This person is also called Lin Ying, with the same name as him, a senior student of Christian College, with a body of 1.98 meters, a wingspan of 2.19 meters, and excellent physical fitness!

But this person also had a miserable experience.

A few years ago, both parents passed away one after another, leaving only one uncle in the United States.

Originally, his uncle had high hopes for him because of his physical condition, but because of his low golf quotient, he did not make any progress in the three years of high school, and lost his main position in his original school, and was forced to transfer to Christian College.

According to this momentum, let alone the NBA, there is no chance of even playing in the NCAA Division I.

The gap between the only elder's expectations and the reality also put him under tremendous mental pressure. His hope is that he can be an ordinary person.

Then he received the same sentence on his mobile phone.

Unlike Lin Ying, he hesitated for many days before making a choice.

So after realizing it, Lin Ying knew that she might not be time-traveling, but a soul exchange in a parallel world!

Humans in the parallel world have been researching, but this kind of thing can never be proven like death.

Because the people on the other side will never be able to tell the answer to the people on this side.

Just like him.

So after accepting this reality, he began to wait.

Although withdrawn, she is unwilling to communicate with others, and reads a lot of novels instead.

So he is waiting for cheats, systems or other things that will be available after time travel in those novels!

But after waiting for a month, nothing happened.

As if he really understood him, he just switched bodies with this Lin Ying!

After confirming this fact, he didn't wait any longer, but began to re-examine his body.

He is 1.98 meters tall, has a wingspan of 2.19 meters, and weighs 100 kilograms!

Aren't these physical conditions already what he has always wanted?

And the basketball IQ that Lin Ying doesn't have, isn't it also possessed by him, a basketball data analyst?

The words that popped up are definitely not accidental, there are not only two Lin Ying in all parallel worlds!

He was "chosen" and made a "choice"!

After realizing this, his whole body became excited.

Because he now has a chance to chase his favorite basketball dream!

After the initial arousal period, he went on to do all the tests including the bone age test.

As a data analyst, in addition to knowing what he can see with his naked eyes, he also needs all other information about this body.

After all the test results came out, he also made a table according to his professional habits.

Name: Lin Ying

Age: 17 years old

Height: 1.98 meters (bone age test maximum height 2.04 meters)

Weight: 100kg (on an empty stomach before the test)

Body fat content: 10.1%

Armspan: 2.19 meters

Take-off height in situ: 65 cm

Approach take-off height: 72 cm

3/4 sprint speed: 3.4 seconds

Bottom line switchback run: 11.8 seconds

185-pound bench press: 7 reps

Then, due to occupational diseases, he made an assessment of his various important abilities based on these body data.

Basket: B+

Middle distance: D

Three points: D

Defense: B

Passing: D

Dribble: D

Bounce: B+

Strength: B+

Sprint Speed: B

Traversing speed: B-

Agility: B

Flexibility: C

Golf quotient: A

Potential: S

Maybe it's because I don't have a high golf quotient and I haven't met any good coaches. The previous owner of this body is a piece of jade that hasn't been developed yet!

And even so, some conditions of this body are already good enough.

Wingspan, strength, and defense are the most important things as insiders are better than most of their peers, and even the wingspan is at the NBA's excellent level.

The job of a data analyst is to sift through the data and then analyze it to draw conclusions.

Lin Yingxia's first conclusion is: This body has every chance to play in the NBA, and even has the chance to become an All-Star or even a higher-level player!

Just because he is already a senior in high school, there is not much time left for him.

If you can't improve your own strength enough to enter the NCAA in the next year, then everything is empty talk.

After reaching this conclusion, what he then analyzed was what he would practice in the next year.

Time is limited, even if this body has great potential, it is impossible for him to develop multiple technologies within a year.

Then, there is an analysis related to the return on investment ratio.

This is his area of ​​expertise.

After analyzing various comprehensive factors such as basketball development trend, teammate situation, and training speed, he came to the second conclusion:

He now needs to practice three-pointers and passing, and he must practice to the top level of American colleges and universities within a year!

Because only then will he have a chance to enter the NCAA Division I!

Then, there is the crazy "suicide" plan.

Except for eating and sleeping in class, he spends all his time in the training hall.

If the school's training hall is closed, he will go to the street court in the suburbs with few people!

Women, gourmet food, busy traffic, feasting and feasting have nothing to do with him, he only has training in his eyes! train! train!

A withdrawn character is a good thing at this time, because he can really do whatever he wants, and he can devote 100% or even 120%.

A year later, his nearly self-torturing training methods finally paid off, and his three-point and passing ratings both went from D to B!

This is enough to become a stepping stone for him to enter the NCAA Division I!

It was during this process that he and Durant became friends.

Aside from the aforementioned dinners and comforting incidents, the two soon discovered that each other was a training freak.

Lin Ying's reason was because of time constraints, while Durant's reason was a bit sad to say. Born in Washington, D.C., he couldn't go to the training hall when he was a child. In order to make up for the lost time, he spent all day in the training hall.

And Lin Ying still remembers what Durant said to him when they chatted.

"A lazy genius will surely be surpassed by a diligent one!"

Lin Ying never imagined that the young Durant would have such a deep understanding.

But later he learned that Durant's mother actually said that.

We all know what happened after that. Durant recommended him to Springman. He successfully passed the trial training and joined the University of Texas with Durant.

For a lonely person like him, being able to go to college with his only friend is enough happiness.

...

I read a lot about the topic of height in my last book. I am not a medical student, but from the information I found, males develop later than females. Most females stop growing taller at 16 years old, but males are 20 years old. Before, the height and length were normal. In the NBA, we have also met many people such as Antetokounmpo and McCollum. Of course, everyone’s situation is definitely different.
