Chapter 111 This is my brother, brush him!(2/2)
"Who are you studying today?"
Lin Ying looked curiously at Allen and the stack of video tapes he held in his hand.
Allen was a little embarrassed because the person he was studying was Lin Ying's good friend.
"Um?"
After Lin Ying looked at him with doubtful eyes again, he finally said the person's name.
Kevin Durant!
This is quite reasonable.
Durant has developed a relatively stable ball-handling ability after special training in the summer.
If in the previous two seasons his scoring was basically all without the ball, then this season he has reached a situation where he is half without the ball and half with the ball.
In addition, the rest of the Thunder team still needs time to grow, and the team needs him to take over everything, and his data will usher in a blowout.
So far this season, he is averaging 31.2 points per game, leading the league in scoring!
What's even more terrifying is that his three hit rates reached 50%/90%/40%!
A scoring champion joins the 180 club!
What’s even more terrifying is that he is only in the third grade!
If you don't study such an opponent, you will most likely be destroyed.
Moreover, there are Suns and Thunder in this year's Christmas game, so it makes sense for Allen to study him.
Lin Ying couldn't help laughing when she heard this.
Originally, he thought that Allen would become famous by brushing up on Johnson, and Durant could "escape the bullet."
As a result, I didn’t expect that this should come as it should.
It may even be that because Allen played earlier, Durant was dismissed earlier.
A wave of heartache.
"Fuck him, my brother can do whatever he wants."
Lin Ying saw Allen's expression and immediately spoke.
He did this not because he wanted to win, but because it was good for Durant.
After all, although Durant has high scores now, his skills are not yet mature.
The flowers in the greenhouse cannot be grown on the table. You have to move them outside to expose them to the wind and rain so that they can bloom more beautifully.
Yes, that’s it!
…
In a blink of an eye, Christmas is coming.
The Suns have had some ups and downs due to rotation adjustments.
The intensity of competition in the Western Conference this year is no less intense than in past years.
Let’s put it this way, the first eight wins in the Western Conference this year in history all exceeded 50 games!
This also led to the fact that the Lakers, who were ranked first in the Western Conference, did not win more than 60 games, but it also just shows the overall strength of the Western Conference.
What's more, now there's an extra rocket!
The degree of involution can be imagined.
However, as the proportion of holding the ball and the number of shots increase, Lin Ying's data will definitely improve.
He averaged over 20 points per game during this period and over 9 rebounds per game.
Taken together, so far this season, his game averages have reached 18.1 points, 8.8 rebounds, 5.7 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.4 blocks.
The three shooting percentages were 51.6%/91%/40.5% respectively.
Here we need to analyze the composition of this data.
The increase in scoring is an increase in the tactical status of this period.
The number of assists has not changed much because he actually had a lot of supporting passes before, and now the extra and less supporting parts have just been offset.
In fact, having this kind of assist data next to Nash speaks volumes about his ability.
Then the biggest improvement is rebounding.
After Stoudemire is willing to allocate his energy to defense, he will block the position and let Lin Ying collect rebounds, just like he did when he played against the Spurs.
And this is actually a good thing for him.
Because there were times in the past when the Suns didn't get the board, no matter how fast he played the fast break, it might be in vain.
But now it is certain that Lin Ying will play after getting the board. Although his scoring times are decreasing, his physical fitness is basically in vain.
And don’t underestimate Lin Ying’s data.
This is not the league after the 14-second reform in the small ball era.
Let's put it this way, these are almost the same statistics Garnett had with the Celtics in the 2007-08 season.
That season, Garnett was DPOY + All-Star + All-NBA Team!
Although the strength and composition of the team are different, the Suns have a good record now. Coupled with Lin Ying's status as a Chinese player, he is very likely to make the All-Stars.
Of course, data is just data, and Lin Ying is not interested in that now.
The championship is the long-term goal, and the short-term goal is how he can help the team win as many victories as possible.
The difficult schedule in January has not yet begun, and we have to work hard to win the final games in December.
There are only two games scheduled for this year's Christmas war.
One game is between the Cavaliers and Lakers.
Last year's finals 23VS24 was played with great vigor, and the fans' appetite was whetted.
But there were too many variables in the finals, so Stern directly extended this grudge to the Christmas game.
The fans were also happy and regarded this as a sequel to last year's finals.
The other game is between the Suns and the Thunder.
This is the second time in Durant's three-year career that he has appeared in the Christmas Day game.
Stern's attention to him was visible to the naked eye.
Although it has been decided that James will be the next league card, how can the next one be enough?
Back then, when Zhuge Tuogu was entrusted with the throne, he could arrange for successors, successors, and successors.
Naturally, Stern also wants to arrange everything he can before he retires.
Durant's talent is enough to become another card after James.
Of course, this will also be Lin Ying’s second Christmas tour in the first three years of his career.
This is also the shrewdness of Stern.
Whether it's the Nuggets or the Suns, it doesn't matter what the strength of the team is.
Very simple Texas Gemini, plus the Chinese market.
This is also a harmless thing for Lin Ying.
It even saves him from flying back and forth every Christmas.
Play the Christmas game = go back and spend Christmas with Durant!
On Christmas Eve another year, Wanda once again prepared gifts for everyone. This time she spent more time knitting a sweater for everyone.
Lin Ying also prepared a gift for Wanda this time.
In fact, it doesn’t need to be too fancy, a simple bouquet with a diameter of one meter will suffice.
Wanda also hugged Lin Ying for a long time.
After so many years, she has regarded Lin Ying as a "child" like Durant and Beasley.
After dinner, Durant and Lin Ying talked about tomorrow night's Christmas game.
Durant was full of praise for the current Thunder team.
When talking about his teammates, words like "My second brother is invincible in the world" and "My third brother bravely champions the three armies" come out of his mouth from time to time.
This is actually easy to understand. In the past two years, the Thunder were basically last in the league, but now the Thunder have a good chance of making the playoffs.
You know, reaching the playoffs is the goal that Durant has been talking about before!
Moreover, he has been in hot form recently, and Lin Ying's score has also shown an upward trend. He is looking forward to the two of them having a high-scoring battle tomorrow.
Looking at Durant's expectant eyes, Lin Ying unconsciously pictured Allen's serious face in the video room, replaying Durant's offense frame by frame.
Finally, he reached out and patted Durant on the shoulder and said words of encouragement:
Chapter completed!
