This was Springman's opening statement to them.

Of course, Springman is not a "sweeping monk" type of person. The defensive steps he teaches are relatively basic.

Such as sliding.

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

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

Another example is the retreat defensive step, which refers to moving backward in a zigzag pattern with the back of both hands.

The purpose of training this kind of pace is to allow players to always be on the opponent's offensive line when facing an attack from a player holding the ball.

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

Because what he usually comes into contact with is some cold data.

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

It felt like opening the door to a new world.

The same goes for Durant. Ever since Lin Ying talked him through it in high school, his desire for basketball knowledge has become extremely strong.

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

…

"Look!"

After training, he returned to the dormitory to rest, and Durant came to look for him with his cell phone.

Both of them are standard homebodies. Apart from training, they spend most of the rest of their time in the dormitory.

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

Well, this guy's favorite thing to do is to say hello to those women with good-looking pictures, but no one pays attention to him.

Then, there are some websites that only adults can watch, like the love action movie I showed him that day.

"Again?"

Lin Ying was thinking about some details of the previous game against Kansas, thinking that Durant was showing him something like that again, and couldn't help but frowned.

But this time Durant showed him something rare and serious, the latest issue of TNT's "NBA Insider."

The two of them read it together, leaning against the wall.

"Cameron is so cruel."

Watching Anthony knock down Collins with one punch, Durant felt inexplicably passionate.

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 on the same team with him, if nothing else, you will feel very safe.

Of course, the main reason why Durant took the phone over was not this, but the part where the three famous speakers mentioned Lin Ying.

Lin Ying was noticed by TNT in advance.

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

This show has attracted a lot of attention. Although it was only mentioned in passing, it also made many people aware of his existence.

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

Don't think that this kind of exposure is useless. NBA draft selection is based on strength, but many times it is also based on reputation.

Especially in this era when the information openness is not that high, many players with a mysterious aura will be ranked higher.

Even some who don't have the ability to enter the NBA will be picked in the second round.

So for him, this is definitely a good thing.
