This Forward is Not Serious

"Father, when was your most glorious time, did you become a national player? And I am now!"

Lin Ying's line is somewhat similar to Sakuragi's classic line in "Slam Dunk".

Although the context is different, the same is the determination revealed in the words.

Although this sounds difficult, even a little impractical.

But the most terrible thing when facing difficulties is not failure, but not even having the courage to try!

If you have enough courage, so what if you fail? The experience gained is also invaluable!

What's more, Lin Ying didn't feel that she had no chance.

After all, he already proved his defensive ability in the game against the University of Kansas, and now there is experience shared by Hayes.

At least, there is also a forty-six!

Work hard, the 50-50 split is not a dream!

"Kevin, I also want to try how far I am now!"

Lin Ying continued.

Although he is a time traveler, because there is no system, he can only evaluate his ability by his own profession.

But in the final analysis, that watch was made by himself, and he thought it was.

Whether it is right, or how to correct it, you will know after beating Oden!

After Lin Ying finished speaking, Durant sat down.

If there is an opportunity to challenge Kobe now, he will not give up.

"Then, kill him!"

He then said with a firm gaze.

...

Here Lin Ying and Durant are discussing how to deal with Oden. In the training hall next door, Oden has already started training with his teammates.

Because of the proximity, they came one day earlier than the University of Texas.

The advantage of coming early is that their training also starts earlier.

Ohio State is a bit like Texas, with great talent but little experience.

The most experienced is starting shooting guard Hamar Butler, also a junior.

But like the University of Texas, there are many young people and the team atmosphere is very relaxed.

At the moment the training is also talking and laughing.

"Greg, who do you think the University of Texas will arrange to guard against you?"

Conley threw a ball, turned to Oden and asked.

There are many black players who are more anxious, and the fans are most familiar with the two.

One is "Dunbao" Andre Ayton, and the other is Auden in front of him.

Oden is only 19 now, but looks like he's 49.

People who don't know him will definitely think that he is a student's parent.

"Mostly, 'Lin' is the main defense, and then they defend the 2-3 zone defense."

Auden didn't speak, and Lewis beside him had already answered for him.

Lewis averaged 21.8 points per game, and he still has a good defensive reading.

"But Greg is not comparable to guys like Roy Hibbert. They can't stop the 'Great Emperor'."

Lewis continued.

He is "the emperor blows" ah!

"If I don't get into foul trouble."

Auden accepted the words with a smile.

As soon as he opened his mouth, the others immediately burst into laughter.

Looking at Auden's appearance, you would think that he is a very difficult person to get along with, but in fact it is quite the opposite.

He is easy to approach and even has a good personality.

Able to joke, even joked about himself like just now.

In history, after Oden retired from the NBA due to injury, he ran into an old woman on the street.

"Do you play basketball?"

"I can beat you!"

Facing the "provocation" of the old lady, Auden just responded with a smile.

This can explain some problems.

In the middle of the training, Oden sat on the sidelines to rest.

After he sat down, he was rubbing his right wrist gently with his left hand.

He had an operation on his right wrist before but it didn't heal well, and it more or less affected his performance after Crazy Three.

This is also a big problem with the NCAA.

Obviously earning so much money, but never thought of providing a professional team doctor for a first-level league team.

Even the injury insurance was fully implemented two years ago.

So many NBA players who injured Zhongyong, if you dig carefully, you will find that more than half of their injuries are related to the NCAA.

"You have to be careful about that Lin, he plays very smartly."

The relationship between Conley and Oden is similar to Lin Ying Durant, and the two also live in the same dormitory.

"I know, speaking of this, you have to help me ask the coach for a copy of the video, and I will study it when I go back."

Oden said with a smile.

He is not the second Hibbert, who will make mistakes and say what makes anyone regret coming to the United States.

On the contrary, he is very serious in every game and will not underestimate any opponent.

"Well, you still have to control fouls, and you're probably going to have Kevin Durant on the defensive end."

Conley didn't forget to remind him.

The University of Texas has been dark all the way to the present, and has become a strong team from a dark horse.

If Oden has another foul crisis, they may not necessarily win.

"I try my best."

Alden smiled and scratched his head.

His problem of fouling a lot has a lot to do with his habits.

He especially enjoys the thrill of blocking, so when he sees someone rushing in from the opposite side, he wants to block.

The result is that it is easy to eat, and then fouls a lot.

I didn't pay much attention to it before, but in the NCAA, I was often targeted by opponents, and it was difficult to change it all at once.

"Boom!"

"Whoa whoa!"

At this moment, exclamations sounded from the field.

It turned out that Cook performed a windmill dunk.

Although his barefoot height is only about 1.93 meters, his physical fitness is quite explosive.

"We'll win."

Oden looked at the field with a smile, and said confidently in his eyes.

...

In the hotel, the University of Texas is also preparing to get up and go to the training hall.

"Kevin, are your shoes too big?"

Lin Ying watched Durant put on stockings and those boat-like New Balance shoes, and couldn't help asking.

With such a big shoe, he was afraid that Durant would step out of bounds with one foot.

Durant smiled and shook his head.

Big, so comfortable!

When Texas University arrived at the training facility, Ohio State University's practice had just ended.

However, because there were interviews at the scene, they did not leave immediately.

Oden was surrounded by reporters in three circles.

Unlike Durant, Oden is very popular with the media because of his good personality.

This is also a key factor why the media will blow Oden to the sky in history.

Durant muttered disdainfully, and then started shooting practice.

At this time, some reporters also noticed that the University of Texas was coming, but they were all filming on the sidelines with cameras.

They knew that Durant would not be interviewed, so they could only focus more on pictures rather than words.

After a while, the interview with Auden ended.

Oden smiled and waved goodbye to the reporters, then prepared to leave with his teammates.

It was at this time that Lin Ying observed Aoden at a relatively close range for the first time.

Big, really big.

This body shape is completely different from what I saw in the live broadcast of the game.

Compared with Hibbert, although he may be shorter in height, his head is a full size bigger.

But that's right, Hibbert is 2.18 meters and weighs 113 kilograms, but Oden's 2.13 meters weighs 129 kilograms!

And it's different from Pittman's, because he is wearing training clothes, and the bulging muscles have a very strong visual impact.

Lin Ying had never met O'Neal in real life, but at this moment he felt that Oden was O'Neal!

Some people will say Yao Ming, but Yao Ming is more about Gao.

To use a metaphor, Yao Ming is a mountain, and Oden is a tower.

Speaking of which, in addition to saying that Oden is a combination of Chamberlain and Russell, the media also said that he is the next O'Neal.

Because Oden is not only strong, but his flexibility and speed are excellent compared to other insiders.

This is precisely what O'Neill is unique to.

When she looked back, Lin Ying subconsciously let out a breath.

That's who he'll be defending one-on-one next game...

"Ying, do you want me to talk to Rick, we should still defend the zone defense?"

Durant didn't know when he came to Lin Ying's side, and when he saw Auden, he also swallowed and said.

"No, just right."

Oden did bring him a great visual impact, but it also ignited more of his fighting spirit.

Because of Durant's existence, it is almost impossible for him and Di Vincenzo to score 31 points in the final.

But if he can defend against such an Oden, or at least limit it, then his pick will jump up a notch!

"I'm going to consume him offensively."

Durant nodded after hearing it, and then spoke.

Just like when he played against the University of Kansas before, he will not let Lin Ying fight alone.

...

Durant PK Oden, No. 2!

The third stage of the game has not yet started, but the game between Texas University and Ohio State University has been rendered by the media as the battle of the century.

As far as the NCAA's attention is concerned, the attention this wave has attracted is comparable to the scene where No. 23 and No. 24 met in the finals in history.

The only difference is that that didn't happen in the end, and this, will happen in a few days!

And because the NBA has reached the end of the season at this time, they are all waiting for the playoffs to start.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to describe this game as a domineering screen.

On the TNT show, Barkley and Kenny Smith also had a "hard fight" over who would win between Durant and Oden.

The domestic side is not idle either.

It's just that it is naturally impossible to learn from the United States when the media promotes it.

Start with a picture, and the content depends entirely on editing.

This picture is the scene where Lin Ying and Auden are on the left and right, and then split in the middle.

"NCAA's Strongest Insider Showdown", "2007 Cosmic Insider Collision"...

Well, a reporter from a certain wave said yyds.

In fact, to be honest, this is the first time that the domestic media has come into contact with the NCAA so formally.

Including the number of NCAA blowout fans, it is very similar to when Yao Ming entered the NBA.

It is no exaggeration to say that Lin Ying is in their hearts, and in the NCAA league, he is "the next Yao Ming" to them.

This is a treatment that Yi Jianlian never had in comparison.

You must know that in terms of draft predictions, Yi Jianlian has already entered the top ten, while Lin Ying has just reached the end of the first round.

This is a good thing, but not entirely a good thing.

Because just like difficulties and opportunities coexist, popularity and pressure are inseparable.

In history, before Yi Jianlian entered the NBA, everyone placed high hopes on him, but because of the comparison with Yao Ming, many fans wanted to kill him.

If Lin Ying really loses this "showdown", a "guda" emperor will be born in a certain wave.

...

Three days later, the media has built up momentum, and the fans are also full of expectations.

The third stage of "Crazy Three" has finally officially started!

Both semi-finals are played on the same day.

The University of Florida and the University of Oregon are in front, and the University of Texas and Ohio State are in the back.

Because TNT is the live broadcaster, the ratings also reached the highest level of the year.

Barkley and Kenny Smith went to Atlanta to broadcast the University of Florida game this time.

The University of Oregon is led by Aaron Brooks, who averaged 17.7 points and 4.3 assists in the regular season.

After entering Crazy Three, his score increased to 18.3 points.

Lin Ying should be very familiar with him. In his third year in the NBA, he averaged close to 20 points per game, and was also elected as the Most Improved Player in the NBA.

To paraphrase the words of the fans at the time, if it weren't for the "Most Improved Award curse"...

Because the University of Florida had a winning streak all the way before, fans also expected the University of Oregon to bring some challenges to the defending champion.

In fact they did.

Brooks was in a hot state in the first half, scoring 20 points alone, leading the team to a tie with the University of Florida.

But in the second half, the University of Florida's shooters began to show their strength.

Brewer, Chris Richard, Lee Humphrey, three-pointers one after the other.

The University of Oregon side was quickly stunned.

Many fans have also realized that this University of Florida team is really stronger than just the inside twin towers!

In the end, the University of Florida still defeated the University of Oregon 90-77 without bloodshed and easily advanced to the finals.

"There's only one game left until the University of Florida completes their two-peat championship!"

The last words of the on-site commentator were very exciting.

Since Duke University in 1990-92, there has never been an NCAA team that can complete two consecutive championships!

But now, the University of Florida is infinitely close to this record!

And the key is that until now, no team has been able to pose a sufficient threat to them!

Even if their hands are cold, even if the opponent explodes, they can win easily in the end!

Just, ridiculously strong.

The University of Florida is waiting for a vacancy, and another opponent in the final will be between the University of Texas and Ohio State University that will be played soon.

Regardless of whether these two teams have the strength to attack the University of Florida, the duel between Durant and Oden is coming soon!

A very real thing, before the start of the game between Texas University and Ohio State University, TNT's ratings skyrocketed again.

In China, a certain wave's server crashed before it even started...

Fortunately, amidst the scolding from the fans, the staff turned on the prehistoric power and it was repaired.

It's just that many fans found that the card was a push.

...

In the player channel, the University of Texas players ran out one by one.

Lin Ying and Durant are the last two.

The two clapped their hands, then bumped shoulders again.

Then followed, took a deep breath, and rushed out one after the other.

In the arena, flags are waving, gongs and drums are loud, and there are huge crowds of people, endless!

The semifinal against Ohio State University is about to begin!
