Chapter 59 NCAA's strongest insider duel(1/2)
"Dad, when was your most glorious moment, when you became a national player? And for me, it is now!"
Lin Ying's words are somewhat similar to Sakuragi's classic line in "Slam Dunk".
Although the context is different, the determination revealed in the words is the same.
Although this sounds difficult and even unrealistic.
But the most terrifying thing when facing difficulties is not failure, but not having the courage to even try!
If you have enough courage, what if you fail? The experience gained is priceless!
What's more, Lin Ying didn't feel that he had no chance.
After all, he already proved his defensive ability against Kansas, and now he has the experience Hayes has to share.
At least, there is also a 46 opening!
Work hard, 50-50 success is not a dream!
"Kevin, I also want to try to see how far I am now!"
Lin Ying continued.
Although he is a time traveler, since there is no system, he can only rely on his own profession to evaluate his abilities.
But in the final analysis, that watch was made by himself, and he felt it.
Whether it is correct or not, or how it needs to be corrected, you will only know after playing Oden!
After Lin Ying said this, Durant sat down.
If there is an opportunity to challenge Kobe now, he will not give up.
"Then, kill him!"
He then said with firm eyes.
…
Here Lin Ying and Durant are discussing how to deal with Oden. In the training hall next door, Oden has already started training with his teammates.
Because of the proximity, they came one day earlier than the University of Texas.
The advantage of coming early is that their training starts earlier.
Ohio State is a bit like the University of Texas, with great talent but little experience.
The most experienced is starting shooting guard Hamar Butler, also a junior.
But just like the University of Texas, there are many young people and the team atmosphere is very relaxed.
At this time, the training was also full of talking and laughing.
"Greg, who do you think the University of Texas will arrange to guard you?"
Conley took a shot and turned to Oden and asked.
There are many black players who look anxious, and the two are the most familiar to fans.
One is "Dunbao" Andre Ayton, and the other is Oden in front of him.
Oden is only 19 years old now, but he looks like he is 49.
People who don't know him will definitely think that he is some student's parent.
"Mostly Lin will be the main defender, and then they will defend the 2-3 zone."
Auden didn't speak. Lewis beside him had already answered for him.
Lewis averaged 21.8 points per game and was very good at reading defenses.
"But Greg is not comparable to guys like Roy Hibbert. They can't stop 'The Great'."
Lewis continued.
This is "the great emperor"!
"If I don't get into foul trouble."
Auden took the conversation with a smile.
As soon as he opened his mouth, the others immediately burst into laughter.
Looking at Oden's appearance, you would think that he is a very difficult person to get along with, but in fact it is quite the opposite.
He is easy to get along with and even has a good personality.
I can afford to make fun of myself, even making fun of myself as I did just now.
According to history, after Oden retired from the NBA due to injury, he met an old woman on the street.
"Are you a basketball player?"
"I can beat you!"
Faced with the old lady's "provocation", Auden just responded with a smile.
This can explain some problems.
Halfway through the training, Oden sat on the sidelines to rest.
After he sat down, he gently rubbed his right wrist with his left hand.
He had surgery on his right wrist before, but it never healed well, and it somewhat affected his performance after reaching Madness III.
This is also a major problem with the NCAA.
Although he makes so much money, he never thought of providing a professional team doctor for a first-level league team.
Even injury insurance was only fully implemented two years ago.
Therefore, if you look closely at the many NBA players who have injured Zhongyong, you will find that most of their injuries are related to the NCAA.
"You have to be careful about Lin, he plays very smart."
The relationship between Conley and Oden is similar to that of Lin Ying and Durant. The two also live in the same dormitory.
"I know, talking about this, you have to help me ask the coach for a copy of the video. I will study it carefully when I get back."
Auden said with a smile.
He is not second to Hibbert, who would make the mistake of saying something that would make anyone regret coming to the United States.
On the contrary, he takes every game seriously and will not underestimate any opponent.
"Well, you still have to control the fouls, and you're probably going to be facing Kevin Durant on the defensive end."
Conley did not forget to remind him.
The University of Texas has gone from being a dark horse to a strong team.
If Oden has another foul crisis, they may not necessarily win.
"I try my best."
Auden smiled and scratched his head.
His problem of frequent fouls has a lot to do with his habits.
He particularly enjoys the thrill of blocking shots, so when he sees someone rushing in from the opposite side, he wants to block them.
The result is that it is easy to get caught, and then there are many fouls.
I didn't pay much attention to it before, but now in the NCAA, opponents often take advantage of this point, and it's difficult to change it even if you want to.
"Bang!"
"Whoa whoa!"
At this moment, there were exclamations on the field.
It turned out to be Cook who performed a windmill dunk.
Although he is only about 1.93 meters tall barefoot, his physical fitness is quite explosive.
"We will win."
Oden looked at the court with a smile and said with confidence in his eyes.
…
In the hotel, the University of Texas was also preparing to get up and head to the training facility.
"Kevin, are your shoes too big?"
Lin Ying watched Durant put on stockings and a pair of boat-like New Balance shoes, and couldn't help but ask.
With such big shoes, he was afraid that Durant would step out of bounds with one kick.
Durant smiled and shook his head.
It’s so big that it’s comfortable!
When the University of Texas arrived at the training facility, Ohio State University's practice had just ended.
However, because there was an interview on site, they did not leave immediately.
Oden was surrounded by reporters three times inside and three outside.
Unlike Durant, Oden is very popular with the media because of his good personality.
This is also a key factor why the media in history will praise Oden to the sky.
Durant muttered disdainfully, and then began shooting training.
