This Forward is Not Serious

Chapter 14: "family"

  What is basketball tactics?

   This is a very broad thing.

  According to the written statement, basketball tactics are the general term for the offensive and defensive methods used by the players in the basketball game. It is the rational use of the players' personal skills and the organization of cooperation between the players.

   But the purpose of basketball tactics is relatively narrow. It mainly includes two aspects.

   One is to put the basketball into the basket in a simpler way;

   The second is to let more players participate in the offense and keep the enthusiasm on the court.

   The second point is easily overlooked, and the first point is the most critical point.

   Take Springman's point of breaking the defense as an example.

   Locally playing more and less means to create open opportunities, and then use methods including but not limited to three-pointers to send the ball into the basket more easily.

   Then why should I emphasize this point when breaking the zone defense?

   This has a lot to do with the way of defense.

   Zone defense is the way players are responsible for defending their respective areas. This means that when defending, only the entire defensive formation will move, and the players on the left will not move to the right.

   Then how do you do more and less locally?

   is also very simple. According to this characteristic of the zone defense, as long as the attacking team's inside line makes a pick-and-roll at a high position, and then the center line or the player on one side moves to the other side, there will be a partial overplay.

   This is why many times when there are zone defenses on the court, players can often see the scene of players from the bottom line to the other side to catch the ball and throw the open three-pointer.

   This example of Springman is very vivid.

   is different from how you knew how to solve a problem when you were a student, and why it can be solved that way. The level is different.

   After Lin Ying finished listening to the basketball technique and tactics manual on the table, it was like reading a martial arts cheat book.

   If he mastered these tactics, he would definitely increase his strength.

   "Coach, thank you."

   Lin Ying looked at Springman, her eyes showing her heartfelt gratitude.

   Durant first, then Springman, this world is much better than the world before him!

   Springman smiled and nodded to Lin Ying, the picture was very warm.

   "Rose, what about mine?"

   But this warm picture was soon broken by a word.

  The one who broke is naturally Durant.

   Durant looked at Springman expectantly, a child who asked his parents for candy.

   Springman was taken aback.

   Ah, I didn’t call you before!

   But looking at Durant's expectant eyes, he definitely can't say that directly.

   "Kevin, you are good enough."

   Springman said with a smile.

   Durant was taken aback, then smiled and nodded.

   Although I didn't get anything, but the coach said you are awesome, would you not like to listen?

  As soon as he came out of Springman's room, Durant hit Lin Ying with his shoulder.

   Although he didn't say anything, he could feel that he was completely happy for Lin Ying.

   "Christmas will be in two days, why don't you come to my house?"

   Durant then extended an invitation to Lin Ying.

  Christmas is equivalent to the Chinese New Year in the United States, and it is the most important day of the year.

   Lin Ying was not particularly familiar with Durant at that time last year, so this is the first time Durant has sent him such an invitation.

   "Don't worry, it's not a party, it's just me and my family."

   Durant saw that Lin Ying didn't respond for the first time and then added.

   Lin Ying nodded when she heard it.

   During the Spring Festival, his "uncle" would take him with him, but he spent Christmas alone in the training ground last year.

   Durant said so, it means that he hopes he will go, he can't refuse.

   Durant is his only friend after all.

   Durant saw Lin Ying agree to jump in excitement, behaving very happily.

   A few days later, Christmas 2006 arrived as scheduled.

   On Christmas Eve, Lin Tian went to his home with Durant.

   A very ordinary small attic.

   The others in the room are already there: Durant’s mother Wanda Pratt, grandmother Barbara Davis, brother Tony Durant, and Michael Beasley.

   About Beasley, Durant had talked to Lin Ying more or less before.

   Beasley’s family is worse than Durant. Like Durant, his parents are divorced, but his father does not pay support, and his mother works part-time several times to support the family, which makes him completely free to grow up.

   It is not difficult to understand why there are so many troubles under Beasley.

   is just a melon vine. If you don’t give it a little traction, it will basically grow crooked, let alone people?

   Fortunately, Beasley met Durant, and Wanda was a good man and adopted Beasley.

   So in a sense, Beasley is one of Durant’s "family".

   There are not many people, but the food that should be eaten for Christmas is decorated in a festive atmosphere at home.

   Durant’s mother Wanda did all of this.

  Wanda is also very enthusiastic to Lin Ying, and that kind of maternal love gives Lin Ying an indescribable warmth.

When    was eating, Wanda kept sending things to his plate.

   Seeing that he didn't do much, she even got up and tore off the turkey legs to him.

   Lin Ying felt sand in her eyes, and she got up and said that she would go to the bathroom.

   When he got to the toilet and closed the door, he couldn't help crying.

   In fact, among the three, he may be the worst one.

   Because the last time he felt this kind of tenderness, it was when he was very young.

   is really small, so small that he can't remember how it feels.

   For a long time after that, he never had a chance again.

   After waiting for a long time, Lin Ying cleared up her mood, washed her face and went out of the bathroom.

"What's wrong?"

   Seeing Lin Ying's eye circles redden, Wanda asked with concern.

   "It's okay, a bug flew in."

   Lin Ying explained.

   "I already said that the bathroom should be equipped with a screen window, otherwise there will be a lot of bugs."

   Durant spoke after hearing it.

   "This is December, so there are so many bugs."

   Tony Durant on the side tapped Durant on the head.

   The two quickly started arguing.

   "Okay, eat first, who wants another turkey leg?"

  Wanda spoke at this time.

"I need to!"

   "I want, don't you know how to make a little brother when you are the elder brother?"

   "My brother will grow up too, I'm looking for a girlfriend."

  ...

   Looking at the two people who had been quarreling, Lin Ying felt like a stove in her heart.

  Compared with his deserted environment most of the time, this is probably the atmosphere of home.

   After the meal was over, the room finally became quieter.

   Durant was sitting on the balcony and looking outside.

   Lin Ying saw it and walked over.

   "I lived in the city when I was young, and there would be a choir at the door to sing after 12 o'clock."

   Seeing Lin Ying coming, Durant looked outside and said.

   His eyes are full of memories, and it seems that their family’s previous living conditions were pretty good.

   But I can also understand that it would be nice if a woman in Wanda can do her best to maintain this home.

   "So I have a wish, if one day I am selected by the NBA, the first thing I will do is buy a house for my family."

   Durant looked firm when he said this, he should have had this idea for a long time.

   Apart from some "quirks", his three views are really right.

   "I mean I have to buy a big house when I save enough money, because our family is big enough, and you will be given a room at that time."

   Durant added after speaking.

   He should have thought that his rookie salary might not be enough to buy a house.

   Lin Ying was stunned, he could feel that Durant just now regarded him as a "family".

   The stove in his heart has become more prosperous.

   "Then you have to fight to kill Greg Oden as the top pick."

   Lin Ying said with a smile.

   "The champion... Wait a minute."

   Durant originally wanted to say that being the top pick was not so easy, but soon turned his head to look at Lin Ying.

   He looked at it for a while.

"What's wrong?"

   Lin Ying was a little uncomfortable being watched by Durant.

   And this is not the first time Durant has looked at him this way.

   He asked Durant twice before, but Durant didn't speak.

   "Have you noticed that you have changed a lot when you were in high school?"

   But the atmosphere may be different this time, Durant spoke up.

"what?"

   Lin Ying didn't know what Durant was referring to.

   "You used to seldom make jokes even if you were with me, but after arriving in Austin, you are much more cheerful."

"Have it?"

"Have."

   Durant gave a very positive answer.

   Lin Ying thought for a while, but said nothing.

   It seems like this.

   This kind of change is not his own attention, but it has a lot to do with the environment.

Especially the group of people I met after entering the University of Texas, Randy Williams, AJ Abrams, Springman, including Wanda tonight, were very different from the people he met before. Same.

   There was a sudden silence, and both of them were thinking about their own affairs.

   "Have you ever thought about when to participate in the NBA draft?"

   After a while, Durant asked first.

   "Maybe the next year."

   Lin Ying gave an uncertain answer.

   Although he was on TNT before and recently entered the team's starting lineup, he is still different from Durant, a historically talented "monster".

  Especially the University of Texas is not considered an NCAA giant. He wants to be selected. It is estimated that he will have to wait for Durant to leave the team and then become the team's star to have a chance.

   So if it is the fastest, it will not have a chance until the end of next season, that is, 2008.

   "Have you ever thought about us entering the NBA together?"

   Durant then asked.

   Lin Ying nodded.

   Of course he thought about it. They went to high school together and then went to college together. If they could enter the NBA together, that would be great.

   But as he thought, his chances of entering the NBA with Durant are not great.

   "If we can win the NCAA championship this season, we can participate in the next year together!"

   Durant said suddenly.

"champion?"

   Lin Ying looked at Durant in surprise.

   Before the start of the season, Barnes’s thick chicken soup gave the University of Texas players the idea of ​​reaching the championship and even going further.

   But even then, they never thought about winning the championship.

   This is too far away for them.

   Especially after playing against Kansas, they know how far they are from the championship.

  Because there are still teams stronger than Kansas in the power list.

  The strongest is Ohio State University, the villain who owns Thanos Oden and the handsome Ebony Throat Conley, and the Avengers Florida University, which owns Noah, Horford, and Brewer.

   The strength of these two universities is better than that of other schools. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com University of Texas hits them by hitting rocks with eggs.

   "Yes, champion!"

   Durant's eyes were firm.

   "Although we don't have that strength yet, we are making progress. Defeating Iowa State is the beginning. We will get stronger and stronger. As long as we have an idea, we have a chance to win the championship!"

   Speaking of excitement, Durant looked at Lin Ying with a torch.

   Lin Ying was infected by Durant's words.

   When he first crossed a year ago, he was not a starter in the high school team.

   But after a year of "suicide" training, he not only became a starter, but also entered the NCAA Division I.

   Then in just six months at the University of Texas, he went from the bench to the starter.

   He may have underestimated his progress, just as he underestimated the progress of the University of Texas like everyone else.

   In fact, nothing is impossible, as Durant said, as long as they dare to think!

   And as long as they win the championship, he has a great chance to enter the NBA with Durant!

   That is the happiest thing for him!

   Seeing that the desire in Lin Ying's eyes was also aroused by himself, Durant then stretched out his hand and put out his little finger.

   This is an agreement with Lin Ying Lagou.

   Lin Ying also reached out, and the two 18-year-old boys hooked their little fingers to reach an agreement.

   They want to win this season's championship and then enter the NBA together!

   "Let’s start in Kansas!"

   After pulling the hook, Durant continued.

   Lin Ying nodded vigorously.

   The last time I lost to Kansas had no temper, but it was a pity.

   If they encounter again next time, they will win back the one-time loss!
