Chapter 17 The Past and Present of the Triangle Attack(2/2)
This thing is just like a real class. After the teacher finishes the class, he can naturally tell the difference between good and bad students.
Specifically, when leaving, Old Winter not only gave Lin Ying a copy of the book he brought, but also wrote his email address on it.
"If you have any questions, you can email me."
This is Chiguoguo's preference.
But there's nothing wrong with it, gold always shines.
Springman's previous appreciation for Lin Ying and now Old Winter's preference are all proof.
Or you can understand it as a kind of talent, a tactical talent.
Just like in many fantasy novels, Lin Ying's technology tree is different from others.
However, since there are fewer people cultivating different technology trees, it is naturally easier for them to gain favor from similar people.
Once you have the theory and understanding, then comes training.
It is not that simple to master the triangle tactic.
Just like in history, after a series of assistant coaches failed one after another, Phil Jackson once said that he was not surprised.
Because triangle tactics require a lot of basic training to improve players' ability to read the game, passing ability, tacit understanding, etc.
This is by no means as simple as "being chased, falling off a cliff, surviving a catastrophe, and learning magical skills" like in the novel.
However, half of the daily training content for Lin Ying and Durant is basic training, so they get started much faster than others.
Barnes' sophistication is also reflected at this time.
The team is practicing the triangle offense, but he just doesn't use it, just plays it...nothing.
He was not in a hurry to use the team's new tactics in the game, because he knew that if he lost using the new tactics, it would greatly dampen the players' enthusiasm for training.
This is just like holding back your ultimate move. If you don't hold it in properly, the progress bar won't be released.
And Barnes also has the capital to hold back big moves.
The University of Texas has a good record recently and cannot beat Kansas, but it is still very confident when facing other opponents.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, one month later.
In the past month, the University of Texas played a total of 6 games, including 2 invitational games, with a record of 5 wins and 1 loss.
As the tacit understanding of the new starting lineup increases, the team's competitiveness is also constantly improving.
And with this wave of good results, their ranking in the big12 division has also reached the third position.
It was at this time that Barnes began to lay out the triangle offense.
In the first game in February, the University of Texas and Texas Tech ushered in their second confrontation of the season.
This time it's on Texas Tech's home court.
It was in this game that the fans in attendance saw the triangle offensive tactic again in an NCAA arena after many years.
Although this triangle offense was a little different from what they had seen before, it was equally effective.
Lin Ying's passing ability, Augustin's three-pointers and breakthroughs, and even James' cutting ability were all very well demonstrated in the game.
Of course, what gives fans the biggest visual impact is Durant's huge lethality in the low post.
Originally, in the NCAA, because the venue is small, it would be difficult for you to play low-post games as comfortably as in the NBA.
But the triangle tactic solves this problem.
After Wendell trapped Texas Tech's center, Durant got a lot of low post opportunities under the basket.
With his height and wingspan as an absolute No. 5 player in the NCAA, and his confrontation that has been significantly improved compared to the beginning of the season, he has great advantages in playing opposite forwards and defenders.
Even if Wendell doesn't block anyone there, Durant can easily cause damage when facing the opponent's center after turning around.
"He's playing like Michael Jordan!"
Even the home commentator couldn't help but sigh after seeing Durant's performance.
In the end, Durant scored 35 points, setting a new season high and leading the team to successfully avenge Texas Tech.
"He called me Michael! Michael!"
In the passage back to the locker room after the game, Durant shouted to Lin Ying with excitement on his face.
Durant's excitement is understandable. Jordan is a god-like existence in the minds of basketball players.
Although maybe the commentator said that more because he was reminded of Jordan's low post scene when the Bulls were playing.
But no matter what the reason is, being compared to Jordan is already a high compliment.
Lin Ying couldn't hide his excitement and nodded.
Chapter completed!
