This Forward is Not Serious

When the University of Texas reached the semi-finals, Yao Ming once said that he wanted to chat with him after he finished playing Crazy Three.

Now the Crazy Three is over, and the University of Texas finally won the championship.

In addition to congratulating Yao Ming, he just made an appointment with Lin Ying to meet.

Lin Ying doesn't have a training plan yet, so the time naturally follows Yao Ming.

"I don't have any games or training arrangements the day after tomorrow, just the day after tomorrow!"

Yao Ming seemed happy.

"Well, I'm going to Houston."

Lin Ying was also very happy when she hung up the phone.

Or rather he was rejoicing.

Compared with Yao Ming crossing the river by feeling the stones, or walking in the dark like Wang Zhizhi, with Yao Ming as his guide, he can avoid a lot of detours.

In fact, don't say that Lin Ying felt it herself, Durant was a little envious after listening to it.

"How about you go to Houston with me to meet your draft template?"

Lin Ying suggested.

"OK!"

Durant immediately agreed.

If you can meet with McGrady, or even hand in hand, why not do it?

You must know that McGrady's words are not only his draft template, but also his idol.

...

The next day, the entire UT team chartered a flight back to Austin.

Austin Airport is crowded with people and drums.

That scene is comparable to the scene when the Cavaliers returned to Cleveland after winning the championship in 2016.

Exaggerated?

No exaggeration at all!

Winning the NCAA championship has a greater impact than the NBA championship!

Lin Ying and Durant sat on the bus, looking at the crazy fans around the street, the excitement that had only subsided yesterday was stirred up again.

Then, Durant and the others couldn't help but sway excitedly.

This feeling is no different from winning the NBA championship.

I don't know if they have such an opportunity after they arrive in the NBA.

This crazy scene continued until they went back to school.

The craziness on the UT campus is even worse than outside!

And the school also held a large party in the evening to celebrate.

This is very American campus.

In the evening party, every team member is the focus of the party.

Lin Ying and Durant are the focus of attention.

Especially Lin Ying.

Durant is handsome, he is so handsome!

Even the "Queen" of the school cheerleading team wanted to drag him into the woods to chat about life.

Lin Ying finally "runs away".

He felt that by continuing to stay at the party, the final result was likely to be squeezed to the last drop.

Fortunately, he is not alone. Durant is still loyal to Monica, and he also refuses many girls to go outside with Lin Ying.

The two sat at the door, looked at each other and laughed.

Generally speaking, for this kind of championship party, they should turn into harvesters, and have a double-dragon show, three poles in the sun and so on.

This is common on American campuses.

Especially in football games, the cheerleaders should not be too excited after winning.

This is how the "Queen" of the campus came about.

"Dj and Damai don't seem to be planning to participate in this year's draft again."

Durant chatted about their teammates.

On the night of winning the championship, the others hadn't had time to think about the future, but after a day, they almost thought about it.

"Rick or Rose persuaded them to stay?"

Lin Ying couldn't help asking.

Originally, he thought that history had changed, and several of them would run for election together.

"The persuasion must have been persuaded, but they also have their own ideas. This year's competition pressure is high, and staying in the team will have more opportunities to perform next year."

Durant continued.

Lin Ying nodded.

This is true, and the draft predictions of Augustin and James can also be seen.

After playing Crazy Three, Augustine is now at the end of the first round and James is in the second round.

This year's competitive pressure is indeed great, and it may not be a bad thing to stay.

"But AJ will run with us, and I don't know if he has a chance."

Durant continued.

Abrams' character is still very likable.

And his looks are really handsome among black people.

While chatting, the door to the party opened.

Abrams came out with his arms around the Queen.

Good guy, both Lin Ying and Durant ran away, and finally "won" Abrams.

"She's still pretty."

Durant swallowed and said.

Although he wants to remain loyal to his girlfriend, he can still think about it.

Those who can become the "Queen" of the cheerleading team are great both in appearance and figure.

Looking at Durant's eyes, Lin Ying was really powerless to complain.

No wonder there are stalks of bath water and sewers, this guy makes no secret of his yearning for "beautiful things"!

"The tree-lined path you thought was already full of traffic."

Lin Ying couldn't help but said.

"What?"

Durant looked at Lin Ying suspiciously.

Did Lin Ying speak Chinese just now? And why is there his own name in it?

...

The day after the party ended, Lin Ying and Durant flew to Houston together.

Yao Ming heard that Durant was coming, so he made a favor and invited McGrady.

And he also made an appointment to meet at the Toyota Center.

Toyota Center, Lin Ying is no longer familiar.

As a Chinese fan, the most familiar arena is here.

As soon as the live broadcast screen is shown and the background music starts, goose bumps will appear all over his body.

Like the Denver Center I have been to before, the door is also the logo of Toyota.

The difference is that the team's promotional poster is hung at the main entrance of the arena, and the huge poster occupies the entire entrance.

The one on the screen is naturally "MM Combination".

The two of them crossed their arms and stared ahead, how imaginative it was.

Just a little emotional, the two entered the arena, and then found the location of the training hall.

McGrady and Yao Ming are doing warm-up training inside.

Idle is also idle, the two of them are warming up first.

After they entered, Yao Ming stopped to warm up, and then introduced them to each other.

This was also Lin Ying's first time seeing McGrady.

The word superstar is very abstract, but Lin Ying thinks that the McGrady in front of him is the most vivid interpretation of this word.

The person in front of him, at first glance, is the kind of girl who plays football fiercely.

Although the relationship with Yao Ming may not be as good as rumored, McGrady's personality is still quite good.

He smiled and shook hands with Lin Ying, and said some polite words.

Then, he looked at Durant.

McGrady is willing to come, the bigger reason is Durant.

Soon, he took Durant to play heads-up.

Now the media is going crazy and rumors that the NCAA has named his successor, and he has to inspect the goods carefully.

Yao Ming and Lin Ying sat down on the sidelines and chatted.

"Boom!"

They sat down and chatted for a while, when there was a loud noise from the field.

McGrady easily passed Durant and scored a dunk.

That first step is really fast, and the movements are really elegant.

They looked up for a moment.

Durant wanted to attack with the ball, but was cut off by McGrady with one dribble...

"The strength gap between the NBA and the NCAA is bigger than you think."

Yao Ming looked back and spoke.

Lin Ying nodded after a while.

To be honest, the scene where Durant and McGrady were singled out in front of him really shocked him a bit.

He thought Durant had a chance, but he really didn't.

Especially after the transition between offense and defense, Durant can do almost nothing but pull up.

Who said McGrady's defense is poor?

"You played against Oden before, you should be able to feel the gap in the matchup?"

Yao Ming continued to ask.

Lin Ying nodded.

"In the NCAA you may only have to play once, but in the NBA, every one you meet is Oden."

Yao Ming made an analogy, although it is a bit exaggerated.

"So you have to improve your confrontation first."

Yao Ming finally said.

Lin Ying suddenly knew why Yao Ming wanted to bring Maddie here.

This is Lalai as a tool man, give him a live demonstration!

"Did you say that you want to play power forward? I think you can not rush to position yourself."

Lin Ying was not surprised by Yao Ming's previous words, but his latter words were a bit unexpected.

"You are different from me. I can only play center forward, but with your height and size, you can play both small forward and power forward. But what you play depends on what team you go to and the position the team gives you. .

The biggest difference in the NBA is that you don't have as many choices as before. You have to learn to adapt and survive. "

Yao Ming, this is the truth and experience!

Lin Ying nodded, his previous thinking was somewhat idealistic.

"Gaining weight is the most effective way to increase resistance, but it is not the only way. Reducing body fat rate and increasing core strength are all methods."

Yao Ming then gave advice.

Regarding strength, the most critical three are: upper body, lower body and core strength.

Like Yao Ming himself, he belongs to the typical upper body strength, but the lower body strength is at the historical level;

And like Howard, it is a typical historical level of upper body strength, but the lower body strength is average;

As for Lin Ying, Yao Ming also observed during the last training session that the upper and lower body strength is not bad, but there is still room for improvement in core strength.

So if you add confrontation, this training will be the fastest.

Then the body fat rate is also the same, and an appropriate body fat rate can also improve the resistance.

Lin Ying, remember it.

These are the key points to be tested!

"Also, I think you are a bit introverted. You will suffer a lot in the NBA. You have to learn to take the initiative."

Yao Ming went on to say the second point.

"It's different from your NCAA. You know this is a professional league, also called a commercial league. The authority of the coach is not absolute. Everyone wants to perform. If you can't handle the off-court relationship well, you may lose the ball." I can't even touch it."

What Yao Ming said is very realistic.

"However, you are better than the United Arab Emirates. After all, you have played in the United States for two years, and the language is much more convenient."

he went on.

After speaking, he also shared a story with Lin Ying when he entered the league, letting Lin Ying know the difference in the NBA.

It was Yao Ming's first day at the Rockets, and Mobley handed him a basketball.

"It's small, isn't it?"

At the time, he thought Mobley was talking about the basketball being small, so he smiled and took the nod and said it was small.

Then a group of people in the locker room burst into laughter.

It turned out that they deliberately teased him, saying that his place was very small.

This can be understood as a form of discrimination, but this is the atmosphere of the NBA.

Because after that, Mobley went out of his way to explain to him that's how they usually talk.

Including rookie tricks, Yao Ming was also forced to carry bags and even tie shoelaces for others before.

This is also the survival of the fittest he said before.

You can only learn to adapt until you are strong enough to change your environment.

Lin Ying nodded.

In the one-year NCAA experience, he has actually changed a lot.

It may be difficult to be like Yao Ming, but at least he will not be resistant to communication.

"Oh, by the way, there is another personal matter. I wonder if you are interested."

After Yao Ming finished his suggestion, he talked about another matter.

And at this time, his interest seemed to be stronger than before.

"Are you interested in playing in the Asian Championships?"

"Asian Championships?"

Lin Ying was stunned by the question.

Which one is this?

"The Basketball Association asked me to ask you, because the Asian Championship is at the end of July, and it does not conflict with your summer league, but it may affect your summer training.

If you have an idea, I’ll just tell you. If you don’t have an idea, it’s okay, after all, training is more important. "

Yao Ming said with a smile.

Since the 2008 Olympic Games were played in Beijing, this year's situation will be quite special.

The men's basketball team will be divided into two teams, which is a bit similar to the meaning of the red and blue teams in the future.

At the end of July, one team will go to the Stankovic Cup, and the other team will go to the Asian Championships.

The purpose of this arrangement is also to allow more people to get training opportunities and discover more talents by the way.

After all, with the Olympics at our doorstep, the 12 selected must be the strongest and most suitable.

And the reason why he didn't mention letting Lin Ying go to the first team was because the training time there was long.

He knew that Lin Ying was a training freak and had her own training plan, if she followed the national team all the time, the harm would outweigh the benefit.

On the contrary, the Asian Championships may only last a dozen days, and the impact on Lin Ying is relatively limited.

And the difference between Lin Ying and Yi Jianlian is that Lin Ying did not have any national team background before.

A very real problem is that entering the national team requires qualifications and prestige.

Regardless of whether to compete for the championship, after all, the difficulty can be seen. As long as Lin Ying can lead the team to the semi-finals, it is completely enough.

And the reason why he wanted Lin Ying to join so urgently was because the national team really needed players like Lin Ying.

Because in the current training list, there are breakthrough players, shooters, rebounders, and top defensive players, but there is only one key point missing.

Get organized!

No one can organize this national team!

Rare things are precious, so if you find a seedling, you have to hurry up!

Of course, it all depends on Lin Ying's own wishes.

After Yao Ming finished speaking, he looked at Lin Ying.

Thank you Meteor*Longya for your reward~
