This Forward is Not Serious

"Shadow, Hibbert is not that easy to guard against."

When Springman left, Durant reminded again.

"Don't worry, I can handle it."

Lin Ying said with a smile.

His rare reversal put Durant at ease.

As an analyst, his decisions are considered.

He took the "Martial Arts Cheats" from Springman before, and his understanding of tactics has reached a new level.

The biggest problem among the dead five is also the one that both Barnes and Durant have worried about: Will he be blown away by Hibbert.

His answer: not necessarily.

Hibbert is a player he knows quite well, and can even be said to be familiar with.

Nicknamed "Black Yao Ming", he spent most of his career with the Indiana Pacers.

The brightest moment was when he played for the Pacers against the Big Three of the Heat. He ravaged the Heat's already weak inside line and played his own "black Yao Ming" worth.

At that time, the Pacers could compete with the Heat, and his role was very obvious.

He also got a rare maximum salary contract for insiders.

After the Heat disintegrated, his role became smaller, and his own state declined sharply, and a thing called "Greek Coin" was born on a certain forum.

Summarize his technical characteristics:

Good low post defense, good at blocking shots, but easy to fall into foul crisis because of slow movement;

On the offensive end, he can eat cakes, but his athletic ability is limited, and he also lacks speed and explosive power. He also loves hooks and mid-range. This is a bit like Yao Ming, the only difference is...he is very unstable.

In general, Hibbert was a second-rate center in the league at his peak.

If it was Hibbert at his peak, Lin Ying probably wouldn't be able to defend against him now.

Regardless of how many shortcomings he has, the level is there.

But the problem is that Hibbert is not at his peak, or even mature.

In this year in history, Jeff Green and Hibbert led the team to the semi-finals. Green participated directly and was selected with the fifth overall pick.

But Hibbert didn't run!

You must know that he is already a junior!

His situation is also different from Hansbrough, he is purely immature, and then he does not perform well.

When Green went to the NBA, he had more shots on the court and his statistics became better before he was selected in the first round.

So facing Hibbert at this time, his answer is not necessarily.

This is the defensive end, and then there is the offensive end that Springman said.

Being a time traveler, of course, has the advantages of being a time traveler.

The reason why Hibbert gave a certain flutter the "Greek Coin" in the first place, and even the new nickname "Gao Yuanyuan" that appeared later, was because of the sharp contrast between his performance and his contract.

A top-paid insider often scores 0 points, or even games where all technical statistics are 0. It is no wonder that fans ridicule him so much.

And it's different from the sudden decline in the level of other players, he can't even be called a cliff style, he is a direct space skydive!

This change in data will naturally attract the attention of Lin Ying, a data analyst.

That's basically two reasons.

One is that due to the development of basketball, the living space of traditional insiders has been squeezed infinitely.

Think about how Yao Ming was troubled by Okur at the beginning, and Hibbert's era was almost ten years later.

At that time, there were more and more big men who could shoot three-pointers, so it goes without saying how uncomfortable Hibbert was.

You must know that his speed is much slower than that of Yao Ming.

The second word is purely Hibbert's psychological problem.

Even if you can't keep up with the times, you will make some contributions, not all duck eggs.

So Lin Ying felt that she had a certain chance to throw Hibbert down.

Of course, he also knows that doing so means that the pressure of the two teams fighting against each other will be concentrated on him.

If he really fails to guard Hibbert, or if he doesn't feel good on the outside, he will be the one responsible for the team's defeat.

But that's exactly what he thought.

Durant has been carrying the team forward, and no one could stand up and give him enough help in the previous final against Kansas.

Such a scene is similar to Durant in history when he went to the Nets and the Bucks to play in the semifinals of the division.

He didn't want such a tragedy to be staged in advance, so he chose to stand up to help Durant share the pressure when he had the opportunity.

As Durant has always insisted, they are a team.

Durant was even more surprised at this time, because Lin Ying had never said that to him before.

"If I really can't defend at that time, don't you have to help me defend?"

After seeing Durant's expression, Lin Ying spoke again.

And at the end, he also said something that has been said many times:

"I trust you."

Durant looked at Lin Ying for a while, and finally he could only nod his head.

Lin Ying usually doesn't like to talk, but she suddenly said so much today, probably because she has already made up her mind.

At this time, he directly supports it and it's over.

...

In the next two days, the University of Texas spent a lot of time training Springman's "new tactics."

Lin Ying was placed in the fifth position of the starting lineup, and then played against Wendell on the court.

Judging from the training results, Springman's tactics are very effective.

Wendell is not very good at attacking, and it is difficult to score against Lin Ying in the low post.

As for the defensive end, after Lin Ying pulled him out, he basically couldn't go back.

This is the perfect realization of Spleman's tactical concept.

Of course, at this time, it is definitely too early to say that the tactics have worked.

Hibbert is better than Wendell even if he is immature, and Georgetown University's starting strength is far stronger than Texas University's backup strength.

But such training at least gave the University of Texas players more confidence.

Because this tactic is their magic weapon!

One day later, the University of Oklahoma took the lead in the play-offs, but they defeated their opponents miserably and received the "Crazy Three" one-day tour experience card.

This time, only Kansas and the University of Texas are left in the big12 league.

...

Every year, the "Crazy Three" is a prosperous time for fans across the United States.

Well, although it is now the first one to be eliminated.

People's gambling companies are not stupid. They start a business and quit the business that loses money.

However, there is still an endless stream of people buying.

Because it is different from other competitions, there are too many uncertainties in the single-elimination competition of "Crazy Three".

It is precisely because of this uncertainty that it is basically unrealistic for the website to manipulate all games.

Of course, the result of this uncertainty is also very cruel. It is said that tens of thousands of people buy spinach every year, but so far no one has bought it successfully.

The closest one was a dark polo team bought by someone at 200 to 1, and finally made it to the finals, but it was a pity that it was still one step away from winning.

Even if you don't buy it, it will be discussed.

houston.

After the training, Yao Ming went to the infirmary first, and returned to the locker room after dealing with his right knee wrapped in ice.

In December last year, he suffered a non-metastatic fracture of his right tibia and rested for nearly two months before returning.

This is why Yao Ming appeared in Austin to watch Lin Ying play before. At that time, he happened to have free time when he came back.

After his comeback, Yao Ming is in a hot state. Under the leadership of him and McGrady, the Rockets have now reached the fourth place in the Western Conference.

He walked into the locker room, which was full of heat.

"T-Mac" Maddie;

"Streetball King" Alston;

"Uncle Mu" Mutombo;

"Master" Hayes;

"President" Shane;

"The Stick" Bunch Wells;

Luther Hyde, Uncle Huo, John Lucas III, "European Kobe" Spanoulis...

This room is not people, but youth.

"Yao, we are buying Crazy Three, do you want to buy one?"

Seeing Yao Ming coming in, Alston got up and greeted him with a smile.

Yao Ming smiled and shook his head, he doesn't understand spinach.

"Just getting involved, the rest of us bought it."

Alston continued.

They were chatting hotly about which team they were more optimistic about.

"T-mac, you bought it too?"

After Yao Ming sat down, he turned to McGrady and asked.

"I bought Ohio State University, Greg Oden is too strong! They will definitely win the championship!"

Looking at Maddie's excited face, it seems that he not only bought but also bought a lot.

"I think the University of Florida has a better chance. They not only have talent but also experience. Why don't you follow me and buy a lot?"

Alstom walked up to Yao Ming and sat down.

"Mr. President, which one do you prefer?"

Yao Ming didn't answer directly, but turned his attention to Battier who was on the side.

Everyone bought it, and he was a bit out of place if he didn't buy it.

But he has to ask other people for their opinions first, and it is safest to follow the crowd to buy a wave.

"Duke."

Battier said with a smile.

Duke's strength this year is average, and Battier is unconditionally supporting his alma mater.

Yao Ming asked around, but no one had the same answer.

This is a bit embarrassing.

"Yao, isn't there a Chinese player who also plays in the NCAA?"

At this moment, Uncle Mu reminded in his heavy metal mudslide voice.

This reminder is timely.

However, Yao Ming didn't know whether Dezhou University had entered the "Crazy Three", so he turned around and asked Alston to confirm that he had entered, and finally chose Dezhou University.

"Are you sure? Yao, their odds are 200 to 1. With this odds, there is a high probability that they will be eliminated in the first round."

Alston opened his mouth to remind.

Yao Ming nodded. Do you still pay so much attention to shopping?

Take it as a little support for Lin Ying.

Speaking of which, although he only met Lin Ying once, he still had a very good impression of Lin Ying.

"Okay, how much do you buy?"

"88 dollars."

When he asked just now, he also asked how much he bought by the way. It was almost one or two hundred, and McGrady was a little more but only more than one thousand.

Chinese people also like to talk about this kind of thing.

88. Fafa.

Don't believe in metaphysics at all.

Alstom quickly bought it for Yao Ming, and immediately asked for money.

very real.

But it's also necessary.

Spinach is like a lottery ticket. Although the money is not much, it is inevitable that there will be disputes if you really win it.

Yao Ming got up and gave the money to Alstom, and he didn't pay attention to the spinach when he sat down again.

Compared with that, it is more important for the team to win more games in the next game.

The competition for playoff spots in the West has been fierce in recent years, and many of them will last until the last day of the regular season.

...

After the warm-up of the previous day, on March 14th, the long-awaited "Crazy Three" finally came!

In the first round of Crazy Three, a total of 32 games in 4 regions will be played in two days.

The first day is the game of all the teams in the upper half, that is, the teams with odd seed numbers in No. 1 to No. 8 in each district.

Well, without Texas, their game against Georgetown is the next day.

But this day is the point that fans pay the most attention to, because the No. 1 seeds from all regions will play on this day.

The University of Florida in the East, the University of Oregon in the South, the Ohio State University in the West, and the University of Kansas in the Midwest.

All games of the "Crazy Three" are played on neutral courts.

So although there was no game, Lin Ying and Durant had already rushed to Atlanta a day earlier.

Regarding the location of the NCAA competition venue, it basically follows the principle of middle ground, that is, the middle area of ​​the schools where the two teams are located.

The venue for their game this time is at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, almost in the middle.

It is usually the home court of the NFL team Atlanta Falcons, and can accommodate up to 60,000 spectators watching the game at the same time.

It is common for NFL stadiums in the United States to be used as temporary venues for basketball games.

It is worth mentioning that after Jordan made his second comeback to join the Wizards, he once played a game here.

That game attracted more than 62,000 spectators to watch the game live.

Generally speaking, the NCAA will not use this level of arena in the first round.

But there is a saying that there is demand only when there is a market.

The University of Texas has Durant and Lin Ying, both of whom now have a considerable number of fans.

In addition, Georgetown University has strength and stars.

Even if this game is arranged in an arena of this level, the venue is expected to be full.

Of course, that's tomorrow's business, let's talk about today.

After arriving in Atlanta, Lin Ying and Durant did not find a place to train as before, but chose to lie down in the hotel and watch the game.

It is more beneficial to them to adjust their physical condition to the best than to cram their feet at the last moment.

There are many games that deserve their attention today, or have an impact on them.

And what's interesting is that Durant and Lin Ying wanted to watch different games.

Lin Ying wanted to watch the University of Florida game, while Durant wanted to watch the old rival University of Kansas.

Neither could convince the other, and finally decided to toss a coin.

The obverse is the University of Florida and the reverse is the University of Kansas.

Durant flicked the coin up, and the eyes of the two followed the coin from top to bottom.

In the end, good guy, the coin stood on the table!

The two looked at each other for a while, and in the end they didn't throw it again, but chose to watch a game that neither of them wanted to watch at first.

Ohio State University vs. Central Connecticut State University.

Ohio State University is also a possible opponent behind them.

And it's good to see Oden's "Crazy Three" debut.

After all, that is Durant's biggest opponent for the top pick.
