This Forward is Not Serious

　　 Defeating the University of Kansas is easy to say, but it is never that simple to do.

　　 Don't think that the University of Texas hasn't lost much before, just think that they now have the ability to compete with Kansas after adjusting the lineup.

　　 Actually the last time Kansas played against Kansas, the main force was not at the end.

　　 You can say that it was Kansas' head coach, Self, as old and stubborn as Barnes, but the fact is that Kansas did not use his best.

　　 Kansas used his full strength in the first half of a quarter or two. At that time, the University of Texas had no resistance.

　　 So to accomplish this goal, they have to continue to grow stronger.

　　 Or in other words, they have to at least become close to the University of Kansas in strength before they have the capital to talk about victory or defeat.

　　 After Christmas, Lin Ying and Durant returned to the University of Texas.

　　 They went to Springman the first time they talked about their thoughts.

　　 "Win the championship?"

　　 Springman was shocked when he heard the word.

　　 Well, it's like hearing someone want to build an elevator to the moon.

　　 You have to know that Barnes said that the Elite Eight is already considered an extravagant hope. Winning the championship is simply a fantasy.

　　 But looking at the two men's serious looks, he also knew that this was not a joke, not to mention that it was not April Fool's Day.

　　 After the shock, he nodded seriously.

　　 Although he thought it was impractical, he could still feel the vigor from the two.

　　 It is a good thing for young people to have dreams. What he has to do is not to break such dreams, but to help them as much as possible.

　　No one can predict the future, what if it does?

　　 "There is no shortcut to success. I will train you more rigorously. You must pay more, even several times more sweat and effort."

　　 Spreeman followed up and gave the two of them some tips.

　　 Then, he put forward his request for the two of them.

　　 "Our current training schedule is two training a day, and I will increase it to three training a day in the next time."

　　 From two to three, this sounds like little change, but maybe only professional athletes know what this means.

　　 To give the simplest example, NBA players generally practice twice a day, and very few practice three times a day.

　　 Among the very few people, the one that fans are most familiar with is Kobe, and the "four o'clock in the morning" stem comes from here.

　　 Or it would be more straightforward to explain with numbers.

　　 Each person’s training time is different, but in general, a training session is about 2 hours.

　　 One training a day means training two hours a day.

　　 Twice a day is four hours.

　　 If you practice three times a day, it is six hours.

　　 Maybe you would say that this is not too much, ordinary people go to work for eight hours a day!

　　 But training and going to work are not the same concept.

　　 When you go to work and fish, the real work may be four or five hours or less.

　　 But training requires full dedication.

　　 And the physical exertion is slower than the mental exertion and the recovery is slower. There must be enough rest time in between.

　　 That means they are likely to train into the night.

　　 But Durant and Lin Ying didn't feel anything wrong after listening.

　　 After all, the two of them have been in the training hall every day since they were in high school.

　　 "Coach, can you let us sleep in the training hall?"

　　 Durant made a request.

　　Because they are students, students have more than just playing ball.

　　Especially now that school starts, they will spend a lot of time in class.

　　 And now, everyone in Longhorn Bull practices once a day. He and Lin Ying practice twice a day because they accompany Pittman to lose weight.

　　The time for the two training now is:

　　 The first training was in the morning, getting up at 5:30 and training from 6 to 8 o'clock.

　　 The second training is in the evening, get out of class ends at 5 o'clock, training from 5 o'clock to 7 o'clock.

　　Because the time interval between training sessions is at least 3 hours, this also means that the third training can only be from 10pm to 12pm.

　　 It can be seen from the time distribution that if the back and forth training hall time is also included, even if they take a nap at noon, they will not have enough sleep time.

　　 But if you can sleep in the training hall, the situation is different.

　　Because that way they can guarantee at least 5-6 hours of sleep.

　　 If you make up for another hour at noon, there is basically no problem.

　　 Springman glanced at the two of them.

　　 There are no beds in the training hall, and even the lounge has only a bunch of benches.

　　 If you sleep in the training hall, it means you have to hit the floor.

　　 It would be okay if it was summer, but now the weather in January at the end of December is a double test for people's body and spirit.

　　 Just as he watched, Lin Ying nodded next to him.

　　 From the eyes and actions of the two, Springman could feel their determination.

　　 He nodded.

　　 Then, he said the second point.

　　 "Kansas has not only the personal abilities of the players, but also the tactical qualities. I will also train you in specific training during training, and..."

　　 When Springman said this, he turned his head and looked at Lin Ying.

　　 "We need to find tactics that can target them. I haven't figured this out yet, but I believe we will find it."

　　 There is something outside Springman.

　　 He has been looking for tactics against Kansas, but he has not had a good idea. He said this because he hoped that Lin Ying would think about it.

　　Because Lin Ying's basketball IQ has been fully demonstrated before, otherwise he would not have passed the tactical manual before.

　　 Lin Ying nodded.

　　 But as Springman said, a targeted tactic is not so easy to come up with.

　　 This will require a lot of data analysis, and possibly even theory and practice.

　　 But if he wants to win the championship, he has to think about it.

　　……

　　 New Year's Day is a major holiday in the United States, second only to the previous Christmas in importance.

　　 On the last day of 2006, people gathered in churches, streets or squares, singing, praying, blessing, and confessing, waiting for midnight to come.

　　 Waited until 12 o'clock, the bells rang in unison, and the band played the theme song "Safe Trip", the theme song of the classic movie "Broken Blue Bridge".

　　 In the sound of music, people embrace each other and usher in the new year with the sentimental farewell and the yearning for a new life.

　　 Of course this year these have nothing to do with Lin Ying Durant.

　　 Because of the school holiday on this day, their third training ended earlier than usual.

　　 After training, they moved the dormitory bedding to the training hall.

　　 Next to the training hall lounge is a storage room, which usually stores sports equipment.

Springman gave them the key to the storage room. They would put the bedding in the storage room during the day, and then move to the lounge at night, placing the lounge benches in two rows against the wall. A bed now.

　　 It’s certainly not too comfortable to sleep on here, but it’s a good way to be unable to lay the floor in winter.

　　 It was quiet late at night during training. They should be able to fall asleep soon after lying down.

　　 But I don't know if it was because of a new place, the two of them lay down and tossed and turned for a while.

　　 "Kage, are you asleep?"

"not yet."

　　 "Do you say we can beat Kansas?"

　　 Durant heard that Lin Ying didn't sleep, so he got up and sat up.

"it should be OK."

　　 "It's definitely possible! We didn't show our strength last time, and we won't be like that again if we do it again."

　　 Durant gritted his teeth when he said this, obviously suffocated, and a little impatient.

　　 Lin Ying let out a "huh".

　　 Although Durant can’t wait, the next time the two teams will meet in early March, which is two months later.

　　 At this moment, there is light in the darkness.

　　 Durant turned on the phone.

　　 "Shadow, should we watch something exciting?"

　　 Lin Ying was speechless when she heard this.

　　Exciting things are the kind they saw in the dormitory of the University of Texas on the first day.

　　 But there is no woman in this big night, can the two men be able to fencing?

　　 "Kevin, we must go all out to defeat Kansas."

　　 Lin Ying said.

　　 The light in the darkness disappeared, and Durant lay down again to sleep.

　　 After a while, there was a slight snoring sound in the lounge.

　　 Lin Ying couldn't sleep a bit.

　　 It's not because of Durant's snoring, but the words Durant said.

　　 If you lose to Kansas again at home in the next game, the morale of the team will be greatly affected.

　　 It is even possible that they will become unconfident in the playoffs against Kansas.

　　 For the following games, they can only win but not lose.

　　 Two months are enough for them to prepare, but as Springman said, they must find a targeted tactic.

　　 But this kind of tactic is so easy to find.

　　 After another round of tossing and turning, I don't know how long it took before Lin Ying fell asleep in a daze.

　　 Just like many office workers, it seems that the alarm bell rang as soon as I fell asleep.

　　 Especially in winter, getting up is simply the ultimate test of personal willpower.

　　 But the two got up very quickly, and the quick movements made people feel a little painful.

　　 After a simple wash, they went to the training hall to warm up, and soon Wright "carried" Pittman over.

　　 Since they entered the University of Texas, this scene has been staged countless times.

　　 The content of training is basically fixed.

　　 The first hour was basic training, including shooting and running back and forth, which they could complete on their own.

　　 When it was about seven o'clock, Springman also came, with some bread in his hand, which was breakfast for others.

　　 An hour after training is confrontation training.

　　 Springman is not only an assistant coach but also a trainer at this time, holding a mat to simulate confrontation to train the two.

　　 Of course, apart from this, there is also the offensive and defensive battle between Lin Ying and Durant.

　　 Shield and spear together, there is no better training effect than direct confrontation between them.

　　 When the two-hour training was over, the two were already sweating profusely.

　　The content of their training will generally not change, but Springman will adjust the intensity according to the physical condition of the two, so that they are always in "high intensity".

　　 Don’t feel cruel, because only then can they stimulate their physical potential and enable them to achieve their goal of defeating Kansas.

　　 When the training was over, Springman told them good news.

　　 The school finally agreed to the team’s application to install a TV in the lounge, and the installation will end before the New Year’s Day holiday.

　　 In other words, they can watch TV when they are off this holiday!

　　 When Springman said this, Durant stretched out his hand and slapped Lin Ying.

　　 Normally, they spend most of the day in class and don’t think about what they should do after training.

　　 But now it’s a holiday, and suddenly there is a lot of time.

　　 For two people who take the training hall for fun, they really don’t know what to do.

　　With TV, their lives will be much richer.

　　 Springman didn't fool them. The person who installed the cable TV came over that afternoon.

　　 Durant chatted with them enthusiastically, while Lin Ying sat aside quietly and continued thinking about tactics.

　　 But like last night, I still have no idea.

　　Until Durant pulled him back from his thoughts, he found that the TV was installed, and even the person with the installation had already left.

　　 "How about we buy a game console? Connect to the TV and we can play games! Oh, by the way, I can order another pizza coke..."

　　 Durant proposed.

　　He is professional in this matter.

　　 "Kevin, this is the school lounge."

　　 Lin Ying reminded.

　　 This TV has just been installed. If someone at the school finds out that they are playing games with it, it may be recycled in minutes.

　　 Durant's expression was slightly disappointed, but he turned on the TV and watched it.

　　 The television in the United States is divided into two major categories: one is public television stations, which are similar to the domestic five sets and eleven sets.

　　 The coverage rate of such programs in the United States exceeds 90%, and the content requirements are very high. Any violence, pornography, and even swear words will be beeped off;

　　The other category is cable television stations, which cover more content and have more American characteristics~www.readwn.com~ The popular "Song of Kill and Fuck" is in this type of program.

　　This kind of show has a low coverage rate and most of them charge, so many episodes are not limited by scale.

　　 Just watched a public TV show for a while, Durant felt bored and wanted to switch to cable TV.

　　 Lin Ying did not object either. Watching programs similar to popular science and political news is indeed a bit drowsy.

　　 But after entering the cable TV program, he made a suggestion.

　　 TNT.

　　 This is not an abbreviation for Dynamite, but an abbreviation for Turner Television Network.

　　 The Barkley show that Lin Ying was on before was TNT.

　　 TNT is a TV station similar to CCTV 5 in China, which broadcasts sports events 24/7, with NBA being the focus.

　　 Or in other words, as long as it is an NBA game that is broadcast on TNT, you can watch it live or watch it back.

　　 There is nothing that attracts the attention of two basketball players more than this.

　　 After paying the fee, they can watch the game.

　　 But NBA live broadcasts are basically in the evening, and they can only watch it back now.

　　 Fortunately, they were busy training and didn't pay much attention to the NBA. They didn't know the result of the game. There was no big difference between broadcast and live broadcast.

　　 And they picked a game very quickly, which was just finished two days ago.

　　 Lakers VS Mavericks.

　　 The Mavericks are a Texas team. This season, under the coaching of "Little General" Avery Johnson, they performed very dazzlingly. Nowitzki also played a career high performance and now ranks first in the West.

　　 Although the Lakers are average now, they have Kobe.

　　 Kobe Bryant had 81 points per game last season and 35.4 points per game this season.
