This striker is not serious
Chapter 3 You play like a cpu
Lin Ying's defense and offense allowed the freshmen team to regain some control of the situation.
But in the following period, the Laosheng team still relied on experience and tacit understanding to grasp the situation on the court.
After watching it for a while, Springman replaced Pittman with power forward tool Man C, and then moved Lin Ying to center.
Although Lin Ying is only 2.01 meters tall, his wingspan makes up for his lack of height. In the past period of time, he has performed well in both single defense and assist defense.
Facts have also proved that compared to Pittman, Lin Ying was obviously better at protecting the basket when playing at the fifth position.
But compared to defense, the bigger problem for the freshman team is offense.
Augustin is too young, James' skills are too rough, and Durant's ability to handle the ball after being double-teamed is not good. The entire freshman team's offense is almost stagnant.
Half the time, 16 to 8.
It seems that the Laosheng team should be able to win this match easily.
At this time, Barnes turned around and walked to the stool by the wall to sit down.
The competition so far has been pretty much what he expected.
Moreover, it is necessary to give new students a warning.
Like Durant and Augustin, they are all five-star high school students ranked high in the United States. They have high aspirations, but they inevitably have short sights and low hands.
It is a good thing for them personally and for the future of the Longhorns to use this powerful attack to make them realize their own shortcomings.
He sat for a while and then took out a small notebook from his pocket.
Everyone has their own habits, and his habits are a bit similar to Jeff Van Gundy of the NBA. He likes to record some important things in a small notebook, and then go back and do some targeted things.
There are several key factors that have led to this game: AJ Abrams’ improvement, Durant’s ability to double-team and handle the ball, and...
He looked at Lin Ying on the field again.
Springman told him before that this player from China can also shoot three-pointers, but so far he has not seen it.
It was at this time that there was a change on the field.
Durant did not continue to ask for the ball, but signaled Augustin to give the ball to Lin Ying.
At the beginning of this match, Durant was confident that he could lead the freshman team to victory, but now he realized that college basketball was different from what he imagined, and it was basically impossible to play one against five.
After calming down, he remembered how he played basketball in high school.
It's just that Augustin didn't do what Durant did, he chose to change his direction and break through.
His layup encountered the defensive contraction of the senior team, but he still failed to score despite a difficult shot.
The Laosheng team launched a defensive counterattack, and Randy Williams scored another goal with a layup.
18 to 8!
The point difference has reached double digits!
There was a burst of cheers from the senior students in the arena.
There is still half the game time, but the suspense of this game is slowly losing.
Durant was a little angry, and Augustin started arguing after returning to the backcourt.
"Why don't you give him the ball? What are you doing?"
Durant asked.
Augustine just showed his hands.
He will give the ball to Durant because Durant is the best among them.
As for Lin Ying?
Why would he give the ball to an unknown kid in high school?
Durant puffed up his cheeks in anger when he saw Augustin's reaction, but he didn't say anything else.
When he reached the frontcourt, he passed the ball from Augustin.
However, he did not attack. Instead, he turned around and gave the ball to Lin Ying at the top of the key.
Augustine: "..."
You are saving the country by putting aside this curve!
Then, although the ball passed by, the ball still went to Lin Ying's hand.
Durant didn't stop after giving the ball. He started a small pick-and-roll with his teammates and then walked out.
But the senior team's attention was all on him, and there was no chance for his movement.
But something unexpected happened in the next second. Lin Ying at the top of the key shot a three-pointer!
Wendell was guarding Lin Ying, but at this time he was at least two meters away.
He didn't know that Lin Ying could shoot three-pointers, and this was also the first time Lin Ying caught the ball in that position.
It was too late for him to pounce out again!
Barnes, who had been sitting leisurely, straightened up.
Whether you are shooting or not depends on your hand shape and posture!
Although some people with weird postures can shoot accurately, they are only a very small number.
Lin Ying's shooting posture is very standard, and you can tell at a glance that it is muscle memory formed after long-term training.
And the arc of the ball after it is released is also perfect.
"Whoosh!"
There was a crisp sound.
Lin Ying hit an open three-pointer at the top of the arc!
18 to 11!
The freshman team brought the point difference back to single digits!
Durant's face was full of excitement, and he turned around and ran to Lin Ying to give him a high-five.
This three-pointer comes at the perfect time!
Not just Durant, you can see the full desire to win on the faces of the freshmen after the transition from offense to defense!
Abrams cut in again and caught the ball for a layup.
"boom!"
But this time, he was directly chased by James!
Lin Ying saw the right spot and protected the defensive rebound.
The Laosheng team retreated quickly this time and had no chance to pass the ball directly for a fast break.
He was not in a hurry and gave the ball to Augustin after protecting the ball.
This move touched Augustine.
He realized that Lin Ying was different from what he imagined.
And the captain needs to compete, but only if they win.
If they can't win, none of their freshmen will have a chance.
Augustin advanced to the frontcourt with the ball. This time, without Durant's signal, he had already given the ball to Lin Ying at the top of the key.
This time Wendell came close to him.
"You won't get that chance again."
Wendell looked serious, and became even more imposing after he started spewing trash talk.
However, Lin Ying ignored it and his eyes moved back and forth on the field.
Because of the profession of data analyst, what he is best at is digitizing everything and then performing analysis and calculations.
Just like how he analyzed the body's various abilities and made training plans before.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is like the CPU of a computer.
But now, the pick-and-roll success rate and scoring opportunities of each player on the freshman team are all digitalized in his brain.
He glanced at the basket.
Just when Wendell thought he was going to force the shot, he made a beautiful ball pass from Wendell's side.
On the other end of the ball is James cutting towards the basket.
James' skills are rough, but his physical fitness is extremely strong.
This kind of player is born to eat cake.
This is a conclusion Lin Ying came to after observing the performance of his teammates in the first half of the game, establishing data and analyzing it.
In his analysis, James' success rate in scoring in this round is as high as 70%, which is the highest among all players on the field.
Facts also proved that his analysis was correct.
James's previous two goals were both missed, and the senior team paid very little attention to his defense.
And his bullet speed is very fast!
The ground jumped up and the sky thundered!!
"Bang!"
James hit the ball hard into the basket with a tomahawk dunk.
The huge impact made the basket tremble.
This dunk immediately stunned the Laosheng team.
This guy must have grown up eating springs!
Barnes also stood up immediately after the dunk just now.
On the one hand, it's because James' physical fitness is amazing. As long as this kind of player can develop certain skills, he has a very good chance of entering the NBA.
On the other hand, it was because of Lin Ying’s pass just now!
If Lin Ying's quarterback-like pass before had some luck, then this ball just now was one of absolute ability!
There are no big men with such excellent passing awareness and ability in the NCAA, but there are no big men at the University of Texas!
This Lin Ying is constantly creating surprises!
There was a mistake in the cooperation of the Laosheng team, and Randy William's pass to Wendell was intercepted by Lin Ying.
The freshman team played a fast break on the court for the first time.
Durant took the lead, receiving a long pass from Lin Ying and striding forward to the frontcourt in an instant.
Abrams, who was guarding him, was knocked away.
Durant, who knocked away Abrams, was like a big bird without restraints, soaring into the sky.
"Bang!"
Super long wingspan, coupled with almost flat-frame dunks, full screen visual impact, this is the top basketball talent!
And counting James just now, the freshman team is taking turns bombing the basket of the senior team!
These consecutive dunks also brought their morale to a peak, and they once again prevented the old team's attack.
Then looking back, Durant came out of the pick-and-roll and finally received Lin Ying's pass and shot a three-pointer.
Although the Laosheng team is experienced, he was not completely free from interference when he took action.
But when he took action, his eyes were extremely confident.
Because this was Lin Ying's pass to him. In the second half of his senior year, this was a classic tactic of Christian Academy!
"Whoosh!"
With a crisp sound, Durant's three-pointer fell.
18 to 16!
The difference on the field is only 2 points!
Reversal is just around the corner!!
Springman also seemed a little excited.
Except for Durant and Augustin, the rest of this group of freshmen have very low reputations in high school.
But now they have a chance to win!
Barnes got up and walked back to the sidelines.
"Are you guys all sons of bitches? Are you beaten like this by a bunch of rookies?"
He yelled at the veteran players on the field.
This guy really looks like a hot coach.
This roar was like a whip hitting the players of the Laosheng team, and their offensive enthusiasm and aggressiveness immediately increased.
Abrams made a successful layup after cutting in!
But looking back, Lin Ying made another beautiful pass at the top of the arc, and Durant made the same pull-up layup after receiving the ball!
This is the time to play against each other!
At this time, Barnes did not continue to scold, but stroked his beard again.
This Lin Ying is not only good at passing the ball, but also has excellent organizational skills.
Many people may confuse passing and organization, but in fact the two are not equivalent.
To be precise, passing is part of organization, but organization is not just passing.
Because in addition to passing ability, a good organizer also needs to have on-field insight and control of the rhythm of the game.
Taking the group of freshmen in front of us as an example, the point guard with the best passing ability is Augustin, but in terms of organizational ability, Lin Ying is better than Augustin.
To be more detailed, Augustin wanted to use his personal scoring ability to score points, while Lin Ying pulled Wendell out from the basket to create air-cutting opportunities for his teammates.
It is clear at a glance which of the two effects is better.
The match was still going on, and the Laosheng team's performance improved significantly after being scolded by Barnes, but they were a little helpless on the defensive end with Lin Ying's top-of-the-key support.
Because he can shoot if you don't guard him, but he can pass if you guard him.
The score kept changing alternately until the last moment. Durant hit a game-killing mid-range jumper to help the freshman team defeat the senior team 27-26!
The moment the ball was scored, the freshman team went crazy.
Who could have imagined that an intra-squad match would be so exciting?
And what are young people? Young people are easily excited!
Especially James and the others, they were so excited that they started to say "Fuck Fuck" continuously.
However, in this scene, Lin Ying seemed very out of place.
He stood at the edge of the team, in stark contrast to the surrounding environment.
When Augustine excitedly shouted to him, he didn't respond much.
Maybe at this moment, others have a new understanding of Lin Ying.
This is a really lonely person.
When the freshman team was almost done celebrating, Barnes called everyone together.
Next, it's time to announce the captain.
In this game, the best performer on the Laosheng team was Abrams, who scored the most 13 points on the Laosheng team.
If the old student team wins in the end, then he has the greatest chance of being elected captain.
For the freshmen team, Durant scored a game-high 15 points, and Lin Ying had 6 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists.
This captain is probably Durant's.
"AJ."
But when Barnes opened his mouth, he said a very unexpected name.
The team members unconsciously turned their heads to look at Abrams.
Are you planning to have a loser MVP?
Abrams is a smart guy.
It wasn't because he was being stared at, but because Barnes' tone just now was so familiar to him.
"You are the worst defensive player I have ever seen!"
Sure enough, Barnes is not going to appoint Abrams as captain, he is just scolding him!
"You let a freshman score 15 points on your head? How did you do that? Were you air? Or was it the early morning road in Gary Payton's mouth?"
The new team members were confused, and Barnes was merciless!
The old team members looked like they were already used to it.
What these freshmen don't know is that Abrams is the person on this team who gets scolded the most by Barnes!
After he finished scolding, Barnes then announced the final candidate for captain.
"Lin, you are the captain of this team."
Surprisingly, it's not Durant!
When Barnes announced the result, everyone present was shocked.
Although Lin Ying's performance is indeed remarkable, his talent is far inferior to Durant.
Durant was a little disappointed when he heard it wasn't him, but immediately laughed when he heard it was Lin Ying, and bumped Lin Ying's arm with his arm.
There is no difference between Lin Ying being the captain and him being the captain, they are "a team"!
Although it was an accident, no one raised any questions after the accident.
On the freshmen team, it’s true that Durant is the one who scores the most points and makes the final kill, but it’s really Lin Ying who can turn the situation around.
As for the Laosheng team, as their opponents, they naturally know this.
And the key is Lin Ying's style of play, dealing cards at the top of the arc and controlling the rhythm. This is the court commander.
Isn’t this what the captain does?
