This Forward is Not Serious

　　 "Rose, tell me what you think."

　　 Back to the office, Barnes was still angry.

　　 It started with 1 win and 2 losses, and I just experienced a game where the points difference was small but there was no chance. It felt uncomfortable.

　　 "Kevin is not very suitable for the fourth position."

　　 Springman said.

　　 If Barnes’ temper is described as fire, then he is water.

　　 Water and fire are not tolerant, but water can suppress the fire, which is a good reason why the two of them can cooperate.

　　Barnes nodded, he could see that too.

　　 "Moreover, we don't have enough organizational skills on the court, and Randy's ability is still slightly lacking."

　　 Springman continued.

　　 The main point guard of the team last season was Daniel Gibson.

　　 Gibson is nominated for the Associated Press's All-American Team, Bob Cousy Award candidate.

　　 Compared with Gibson, Williams is a bit worse in terms of talent and ability.

　　 Barnes continued to nod his head, not free, and opened the drawer to take out a bag from the inside.

　　The bag is filled with dried kiwi, which can lower blood pressure.

　　 He took out a piece and put it in his mouth to chew, and then handed it to Springman. After the opponent refused, he put it on the table.

　　 "You mean you want Lin to start?"

　　 Barnes chewed twice before speaking.

　　 The organization is lacking, and the first reaction should be to change the point guard.

　　 But Augustine is strong in personal offense, and he and Randy Williams are only half a catty in terms of organization.

　　 Therefore, Springman's overtones could only be made by Lin Ying as the starting point.

　　 But let the power forward play the organization, which is not common in the NCAA.

　　 This is not the era of small ball where the position is blurred. Although there is the concept of organizing forwards, they are small forwards. More on the court is to perform their own duties.

　　 "He has proven that he can start."

　　 Springman nodded.

　　 In the original match between new and old students, Lin Ying had already demonstrated good organizational skills, and the subsequent training within the team was also recognized by the coaching staff.

　　 And Lin Ying's performance on the bench continued to improve, especially tonight's game, if it weren't for Lin Ying, they would only lose even more ugly.

　　 Or in other words, even if it wasn't for the organization, Lin Ying has already proved tonight that he has the ability to start.

　　 "Kevin's speed, can you keep up with position three?"

　　Barnes thought for a while and took another piece of kiwi and dried it in his mouth, and then asked.

　　 Wendell's performance is good, and he is in good physical condition and has game experience. He seems to be the most suitable to play the fifth position.

　　 So if Lin Ying played the starting lineup, he could only play at the fourth position.

　　 James is a swingman, and there is no problem playing the second position.

　　 In this way, Durant will have to play the third position.

　　The biggest question is that he asked, can Durant's speed keep up with the number three position?

　　 Especially on the defensive end.

　　 Durant's current defensive habits and awareness are too bad.

　　 This should be the reason why his high school coach did not pay much attention to this aspect.

　　 After all, the high school league emphasizes offense and the display of individual players' abilities.

　　 Bad defensive habits, this is also a common problem for many freshmen.

　　 "I will train him later."

　　 Springman also knew Barnes’ worries and said directly.

　　 Barnes did not speak after listening.

　　 He is still a little worried about letting a power forward organize this style of play.

　　 "Georgetown University's Preston tactic was initiated by the center, and the effect was very good, and we are also trying it now."

　　 Seeing Barnes' reaction, Springman continued.

　　 Barnes thought for a while, and finally nodded.

　　 Get angry and get angry, he actually knows that the season has just begun.

　　 Especially the team has gone through such a big change in personnel, it will definitely take time to adjust and adjust.

　　 Springman's last words came to the point.

　　 And they also talked about letting Lin Ying and Durant play together during the game.

　　 Let Lin Ying make his debut, this problem was also solved.

　　 The two talked about each other, and Springman got up to leave.

　　 "Rose, you can comfort Kevin."

　　 Barnes said suddenly.

　　 Springman nodded when he heard it, then turned and left.

　　……

　　 After Lin Ying and Durant returned to the dormitory, someone came to visit.

　　 is Abrams next door.

　　 Yes, that's the guy named AJ.

　　Because of this name, other people on the team like to call him AJ, and they also tease when he can really wear double AJ.

　　 Then Abrams didn't care about it, and he joked that he would buy a pair when the team won the championship.

　　 His generous personality made him the most popular person on the team.

　　Even though, he is indeed the man who has been scolded by Barnes the most on the team.

　　 "Kevin, are you okay?"

　　 Abrams came in and walked towards Durant with a smile.

　　 Dulan nodded and signaled that he was OK. After talking with Lin Ying before, he was already in a better mood.

　　 "In fact, Coach Barnes is a good coach."

　　 Abrams sat down and spoke.

　　 Durant looked at Abrams in surprise when he heard this, even Lin Ying was surprised.

　　 They didn't think it was a big deal when others said it, but it was weird when Abrams said it.

　　 He is the one who gets scolded the most!

　　 Is it possible that this guy is still shaking M?

　　 "You know, if an experienced elder is willing to scold you and scold you in a targeted manner, then he wants you to be better."

　　 But what Abrams said afterwards made them stunned.

　　 "If one day he does not scold you, or even ignores you, then it means that he is really disappointed in you."

　　 Abrams looked at Durant at last and said.

　　 After saying this, Lin Ying and Durant were both startled.

　　 After a while, the two people nodded one after another.

　　 These words make sense!

　　 was chatting, and Springman came over too.

　　 Abrams stood up soon after seeing it, greeted Springman and went out.

　　 "Kevin, are you okay?"

　　 Slightly familiar words came out of Springman's mouth.

　　 Springman also came to comfort Durant.

　　 But what he said is not the same as Abrams, he is more to let Durant get used to this kind of thing.

　　 After all, in the NBA in the future, no one knows if he will meet a coach with this personality again.

　　Adapting in advance is equivalent to getting a vaccination.

　　 Then, he focused on the next game.

　　 "Rick has agreed to let Lin start, but only if your defense can meet the requirements of the third position."

　　 Springman looked at Durant and said.

　　 He knows the relationship between Lin Ying and Durant, which is another key reason why he would suggest to Barnes that Lin Ying should make his debut.

　　 He hopes to use this to stimulate Durant's enthusiasm for training defense.

　　 "It's great, Rose, I'm just asking you to help me improve my defense."

　　 Durant's reaction surprised Springman.

　　 They are... have their hearts felt?

　　 "Let’s start now!"

　　 What made him even more unexpected was that Durant got up in the next second.

　　 He was taken aback for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.

　　 He signaled that Duran was particularly anxious, because he had to go back and study a new training plan.

　　Scientific training will get twice the result with half the effort.

　　……

　　 "We can play together again!"

　　 When Springman also left, Durant looked at Lin Ying with excitement.

　　 He didn't play well in the previous games. In addition to his personal status, there is also a very important factor that Lin Ying did not start.

　　 Not to mention that the technical characteristics of the two are very compatible, that is, the degree of tacit understanding, the two as high school teammates are also the highest.

　　 Lin Ying also nodded excitedly.

　　 If he starts, he will get more performance opportunities. Maybe he will have the opportunity to enter the NBA with Durant!

　　……

　　 Los Angeles, TNT headquarters.

　　 TNT’s most popular basketball show is called "NBA Insider".

　　 This is a show where "Big Mouth" Charles Barkley took over and made a big hit after joining TNT.

　　 There are three hosts on this show, namely Barkley, Kenny Smith and Ernie Johnson.

　　The content of the show is the same as the title, sharing some NBA insider news and some interesting things that fans don’t know.

　　 Like when Yao Ming first entered the NBA, Barkley’s famous "donkey butt" incident came from this show.

　　 And the reason why this program is so popular with the audience, there is a big reason is its authenticity.

　　 This show will not prepare a detailed script, basically it is to determine the theme content, and then watch the free play of the three famous mouths.

　　 Therefore, many times the idea of ​​unconstrained and unconstrained can create unexpected program effects.

　　 It has been more than a month since the start of the new NBA season, and there are a lot of things they can talk about.

　　For example, the Mavericks have been stronger than ever this season. Avery Johnson has made Nowitzki play the fifth position in a unique style, but the effect is remarkable.

　　 Another example is that the defending champion Heat suffered bad news at the beginning of the season. Wade was absent due to injury, and "Shark" O'Neal could only lead the team hard alone.

　　Of course these are not the focus of their conversation tonight.

　　 They talked about the big fight that just happened in Madison, New York.

　　 All ten people took part in this fight, and the basketball court became a gladiator arena, which was as popular as the "Auburn Hills Palace Fight" back then.

　　 The impact of this incident is also very bad, because since the Palace of Auburn Hills, Alliance President Stern has been working to eliminate the violent impression of the Alliance.

　　 It can also be foreseen that this fight will definitely be severely punished by the league.

　　 Barkley and the others are now analyzing the cause and effect of this incident, and they are full of attention.

　　 After analyzing this, Kenny Smith mentioned another interesting thing.

　　 But this interesting thing does not come from the NBA, but the NCAA.

　　 "Kevin Durant and his team lost again."

　　 Kenny Smith is the one who brought the topic.

　　 Although the NCAA season has only just begun, the performance of some players is still concerned by the outside world.

　　 Oden and Durant are undoubtedly the two most concerned.

　　 Oden's words had surgery since the beginning of the season, and he has not returned until now.

　　 However, the Ohio State University games were all won.

　　 In contrast, Durant’s side is the other extreme. The University of Texas lost, but Durant's statistics and demonstrated scoring ability are very eye-catching.

　　 "Is that news?"

　　 Buckley asked with a smile.

　　 This reaction also shows that they are actually paying attention to the NCAA.

　　 Next year is the recognized draft year. These hot rookies know more about it and it will be helpful for them to show later.

　　 "Yes, that's not news."

　　 Smith nodded, but immediately changed his conversation.

"But the incredible thing about this game is that just a few minutes after the start of the second quarter, the University of Texas had a wave of five overs and fives, and their opponent, the University of Kansas, also had a five overs and fives. "

　　 "Interesting, but that's all?"

　　 Barkley took the conversation.

　　 The biggest possibility of this kind of operation is that the score on the field is too big, and the University of Texas has surrendered early.

　　 But even if he admits defeat, this time node is a bit too early. This is what he said interesting.

　　 "No, the excitement is just after this. After the University of Texas bench was replaced, there was a wave of counterattacks. If there is not too little time, they may even reverse the game."

"Um?"

　　 Barkley finds what Smith said is getting more and more interesting.

　　 "Then the most interesting thing is that even if the score is always approaching, but until the end of the game, there is no major player on either side!"

　　 Smith finally said.

　　 "As far as I know, Kansas seems to have a strong lineup this year?"

　　 Barkley was already very curious at this time, and turned to look at Ernie Johnson.

　　 Johnson nodded as a tool man.

　　 "It's that the University of Texas played so well off the bench. Among them, a Chinese player named Lin led the team to make this wave of reversal."

　　 "Another Chinese player?"

　　 Barkley frowned and asked.

　　 Because of the “donkey butt” incident, he is now very sensitive to Chinese players.

　　 This year, there have been media reports that a Chinese player named "Yi" has outstanding talents.

　　 Didn't expect that there will be another one in the NCAA, and the performance is also good?

　　 NBA, is this going to be a wave of "China fever"?

　　 "This player's style of play is very interesting, I think you should check it out, maybe you will like him."

　　 Kenny Smith continued.

　　 "I hope you are not fooling me, I am very strict."

　　 Barkley said solemnly.

　　 This reaction immediately caused Ernie Johnson and Kenny Smith to laugh.

　　……

　　 Early the next morning, it was still 5:30 to get up for training, and Springman started defensive training.

　　The target of training is not only Durant, but also Lin Ying.

　　 Lin Ying has a good body, but there is much room for improvement in his defensive ability and experience.

　　 It was this process, Lin Ying discovered that Springman had a lot of private goods.

　　During the daily training of the team, the basic training also includes defensive training, but that is more focused on the team level, such as zone defense training.

　　 But what Springman trains is their personal ability, the focus is on footwork.

　　 "Attitude and enthusiasm determine the lower limit of defense, and defensive skills and physical talent determine the upper limit of defense."

　　 This is the opening remark Springman said to them.

　　 Of course, Springman is not a "sweeper" type of figure, he teaches some basic defensive steps.

　　 such as sliding.

　　 Sliding step is the most basic part of all defensive steps. It refers to using the left or right foot to drive the other foot to slide on the floor.

　　 Whether facing an offensive player with the ball or an offensive player without the ball, this is the basic step for you to maintain your defensive position.

　　 For another example, a defensive step back is a move back with the back of both hands in a zigzag pattern.

　　 The purpose of training this kind of pace is to allow players to keep themselves on the opponent's offensive line when facing a team player's offense.

　　 As a data analyst, Lin Ying has some basketball foundation, but it is relatively limited.

　　 Because he usually comes into contact with some cold data.

　　 Although what Springman taught was relatively basic, it was completely new to Lin Ying.

　　 That felt like opening a door to a new world.

　　 Durant is the same. Since Lin Ying got it through in high school, his desire for basketball knowledge has become extremely strong.

　　 Of course, nothing is accomplished overnight, and training also requires a process.

　　……

　　 "Look!"

　　 After training and returning to the dormitory to rest, Durant came over to find him with his mobile phone.

　　 Both of them are standard otaku. Except for training, they spend most of the rest of their time in the dormitory.

　　The difference is that Lin Ying likes to think in a daze, while Durant likes to play social media.

　　Well, what this guy loves most is to say hello to those women with good-looking heads~www.readwn.com~ but no one cares about him.

　　 Then, there are websites that can only be read by adults, just like the love action movie I showed him that day.

　　 "Here again?"

　　 Lin Ying thought about some of the details of the previous game in Kansas, thinking that Durant was showing him that kind of thing again, and she couldn't help but frown.

　　 But this time Durant showed him a rare serious thing, TNT's latest issue of "NBA Insider".

　　 Two people leaned against the wall and watched it together.

　　 "Cameron is so cruel."

　　 Watching Anthony knock down Collins with a punch, Durant's blood is inexplicable.

　　 Fighting on the basketball court is not a good thing, but it feels good to watch others fight.

　　 Lin Ying nodded.

　　 Anthony is rumored to have a gang background.

　　 If you play with his team, nothing else, you feel safe.

　　 Of course, the main reason for Durant to bring the phone was not this, but the section where the three famous replies mentioned Lin Ying.

　　 Lin Ying, this is, was paid attention to by TNT in advance.

　　 Lin Ying was in a very good mood when she saw that.

　　 This show has a high degree of attention. Although it was just a mouthful incidentally, it also made many people aware of his existence.

　　 In this case, it is equivalent to giving him a wave of exposure for free in advance.

　　 Don't think this kind of exposure is useless. The NBA draft depends on the strength, but in many cases it also depends on the fame.

　　Especially the information openness of this era is not so high. Many players with a mysterious atmosphere will have a higher rank.

　　 Even some people who were not capable of entering the NBA will be picked in the second round.

　　 So for him, this is definitely a good thing.
