This Forward is Not Serious

Chapter 28: Regular season ending

   "Just been here for a while."

   Lin Ying didn't say that she came at four o'clock in the morning, or Yao Ming would have regarded him as a fool.

   Yao Ming smiled but said nothing.

   This quality of modesty is a fine tradition of the Chinese people, and it is not a good thing to say that it is broken.

   After entering the training hall, Lin Ying worried that nothing seemed to happen all night.

   There is no apprenticeship ceremony, and there is no excessive politeness. Yao Ming soon began to teach him some low-post offensive skills inside.

   And what Yao Ming taught him is also his two best offensive methods.

   One is low footsteps, and the other is low hook.

   As for turning around in a low position and leaning back, it is not suitable because Lin Ying is not flexible enough.

   Low footsteps. Because Yao Ming is from Shanghai, he is called "Shanghai Dance" by the fans.

   But in fact, it is not much different from Olajuwon’s "Dream Dance Step". It is a combination of some basic footsteps in the inside line.

   This kind of footstep has two core essentials, one is the central foot, and the other is fake movement.

  Central foot Needless to say, the offense at the basket is relatively static, and if the central foot moves, then it is walking.

   The rational use of the central foot for turning and shaking is the basic way to create shooting opportunities for yourself.

   At this point, Olajuwon and Yao Ming can have their own unique footstep names, and the perfect use of the central foot is a key point.

   Fans can also see a lot of wonderful shots of them using this point in the game to shake off the defensive scoring.

   Then it was fake.

   The fake action can be a pass or a shot, and the purpose is the same as that of the central foot, but also to shake the defender away.

   As long as the defender's attention is deceived by the fake action, he will not have time to defend when you actually take the shot.

   Yao Ming played for the Rockets, and he did not learn from Olajuwon.

   The master teaches his apprentices, and he is very professional in teaching.

  The theory teaching is the actual combat practice.

   Although Lin Ying's physical flexibility is a lot worse than Yao Ming, but fortunately, he has a very good understanding.

   He can basically learn some basic footwork first.

   The rest is training.

   His body has great potential. Even if he can't practice Yao Ming, he still has a chance to make a small achievement.

  After the footsteps are practiced, the hook is followed.

   The technique of hooking was not very accepted and valued at the beginning.

   But because of the emergence of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, he applied this technology to the extreme, allowing him to gain the reputation of "Sky Hook", and at the same time let this technology spread.

   This technique must be used well, especially for insiders. A very important day condition is that the shot point must be high enough.

   Those who meet this condition can be players with outstanding heights, like Yao Ming Kareem is actually of this type.

   can also be a player who is not very tall but has a very good arm span, such as Lin Ying.

   This is why it is said that the wingspan is the most important static talent in basketball, because it can make up for the lack of height in both offensive and defensive end.

   As for McGrady and Durant, who have high arms and long arms, they are the top static talents in the eyes of the media.

   Speaking of the technique of back hooking, it can generally be broken down into three steps:

  The first step: leaning against the opponent with your shoulders, feel the defensive center of gravity while suppressing the opponent's space with your body.

  The second step: sports technical action, this technical action includes but not limited to turning around, creating hook space for yourself.

   Step 3: Turn around to the basket, use the shooter's straight arm to lift the ball high above your head, and when the ball reaches the highest point, use your wrist to make a shot.

  The technique is actually very simple, but it tests the players' handwork.

   or more detailed, it tests the softness of the player's wrist.

   If the wrist is stiff, the hook will also look stiff.

   Not to mention the comparison between Yao Ming and Howard, Bynum, who is more similar to Howard, has a softer hook than Howard.

   But Yao Ming also has his own understanding of hooks.

   He believes that the key to this technology lies in the second step, creating space.

  Because if you can't create space and fight against the defensive player one-on-one, then it is basically difficult for you to complete the hook easily.

  The way to create space is mainly low footsteps.

   This is why he taught Lin Ying the two techniques together, because these two techniques are often combined.

   And Yao Ming also has his own set of methods for hooking.

  His method is divided into three parts:

   The first part is the in-situ hook, left-handed then right-handed, 10 times each, but the requirements must be all hollow. If the box is hit, the count will start again;

   The second part is a hook while on the move, that is, a hook after one or two moves. The requirements are the same as those in the first part;

   The third part is the turning hook under confrontation. This is also the most difficult part of training. Although it is no longer required to be hollow like the first and second parts, it must be fully advanced, otherwise it will have to be counted again;

   After listening to Yao Ming's training plan, Lin Ying also understood why hooking would become one of Yao Ming's nirvana.

   This kind of training method can be described as harsh, even without a certain level, you may not be able to get out of the training ground just by training.

   Lin Ying tried to train in the same way as Yao Ming.

   Of course he can't finish it.

   But Yao Ming was surprised by the softness of his hook.

   This may have something to do with Lin Ying's usual opponent's exercise.

  Well, doesn't it exercise hands in three-point training?

   When the training is over, Lin Ying asks Yao Ming to have a meal near the school.

   Yao Ming didn't refuse, and when he finished eating, he said some words of encouragement to Lin Ying.

   "If you have dinner, you will pay back the favor I taught you for this game. I will come to Austin to watch your game later when I have time. I hope I can see you on the court at that time."

   Yao Ming's double quotient is really very high, he can guess some things without mentioning it, and this way of handling it can be called a textbook.

   Lin Ying nodded vigorously.

   Although there is not much time, he will definitely work hard to train something.

  ...

   Half a month later, the NCAA league games have come to an end, and the league's playoff seats have been determined accordingly.

  The playoff list for the big12 league is as follows:

  1, University of Kansas Jayhawks (19 wins and 3 losses)

  2, University of Texas Longhorns (16 wins and 6 losses)

  3, University of Oklahoma Shortcuts (14 wins and 8 losses)

  4, Kansas State University Wildcats (11 wins and 11 wins)

  5, University of Nebraska Cornshellers (10 wins and 12 losses)

  6, University of Missouri Tigers (9 wins and 13 losses)

  7, Iowa State University Cyclone Team (7 wins and 15 losses)

   8. Texas Tech Red Raiders (7 wins and 15 losses)

   After the ranking is determined, the playoff matchup will follow.

  According to the rules introduced before, the top eight teams will compete in a single scoring match based on the first VS eighth matchup until the league championship is decided.

  Someone may ask here why can’t we adopt the format of a series?

   Crazy Three is understandable in order to increase the excitement, but the playoffs in the league are played like this, so it is easy to get the strong team out of the game early?

   The answer is, you can fight, but it is not necessary.

   In fact, before the league playoffs start, the team that can go to the crazy three is basically set.

   As for the power list mentioned before, it can cover the results of each team's internal competition and all invitational matches.

   And that ranking list is not simply a calculation of victory or defeat, but a comprehensive consideration of many factors, which can be regarded as a very authoritative list.

   Then someone will say again, since the teams are almost set, then just invite them directly, what else to play in the playoffs!

   must be hit.

   There is one detail that was not mentioned before. When the 32 league champions are in the division, the champion team automatically locks the top eight seeds in the division.

   That is to say, no matter how weak your league is, as long as you are a champion, you can occupy a favorable position in the Crazy Three.

   This approach is the same as the NBA, and the reason is the same, for the ratings.

   Although the "Crazy Three" is a single scoring system, the probability of elimination of seeds in the first round of 9~17 is obviously greater than that of 1~8.

   If all of your teams in the league that have advanced to Crazy Three are 9-17, and then all are eliminated in the first round, then the fans of that league will look lonely at the end.

   Although NCAA is not a business alliance, the broadcast fee that Madsan gets every year is as high as hundreds of millions of dollars.

   And this broadcast fee is closely related to the ratings.

   So for the seeds of the top eight picks, each team will do their best in the playoffs.

   In addition, playing the single scoring game in the playoffs also gave the teams a feel of the "crazy three" atmosphere in advance.

   This can also be called a double effect.

   The playoffs are single-purchase games, but except for the final finals in a third-party arena, the first and second rounds have home court advantage.

   So in the end, the University of Texas won the second place in the league, which is the most advantageous position they can win this season.

   At the end of the season, Lin Ying and Durant's statistics for one season are finally released.

   Durant averaged 26.6 points, 10.1 rebounds, 1.9 steals and 1.3 blocks per game, and the NCAA averaged 20+10 per game!

   And his shooting percentage reached 47.3%, the three-pointer percentage was 40.7%, and the free throw percentage was 81.6%!

   This performance is amazing!

   But one interesting thing is that Durant's highest score has been fixed at 37 points, failing to complete the NCAA 40+.

   It's not that he couldn't score 40 points, but as the game entered the second half of the game, one of his passive attributes was triggered: hot hand and hard pass!

Many people should be familiar with this thing. It refers to when there is little suspense about the outcome of the game or in a game where there is no suspense. Own teammates.

   Needless to say, this is Durant’s paranoid team concept.

  Compared to himself, he hopes that other people at the University of Texas will also have good data.

   The most typical is the second time the team played against Iowa State University. He felt hot and scored 25 points at halftime.

   But in the third quarter, he was stunned by all kinds of passes, and then he hardly "brushed" 5 assists.

   Barnes who looked at this all nodded big.

   Springman chatted with Durant privately after the game, hoping that he would be "selfish".

  Because it is related to his draft prospects in the NBA after all.

   Springman didn't say it clearly, but the reality is that most of the University of Texas data is useless, because they are destined to not be able to play in the NBA.

   But Durant promised that he should pass or pass when it comes to the game.

   Barnes and Springman had no choice but to let him go in the end.

   Lin Ying also averaged 11.5 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.7 blocks and 1.2 steals per game, shooting 49.1% from the field, 38.7% from the three-point field, and 75.5% from the free throw.

   Although he didn't get too many opportunities at the beginning of the season, his stats also increased after Barnes determined his tactical core position.

   Especially the three-point shooting rate. Although the output is not as good as that of Ryan Anderson of the University of California, Berkeley next door, the shooting rate is 0.5% higher.

   Of course, if I have to say, Lin Ying is the biggest beneficiary of Durant's "hard pass".

   In the second match against the University of Missouri Tigers, it was Durant who kept feeding him back the ball, which finally allowed him to reach 20+10 in a single game of the season.

   Three days after the end of the season, the major league playoffs began one after another.

   Here in the big12 league, four games also started on the same day.

   The opponent of the University of Texas in the first round is Iowa State University.

   They won both matches in the regular season, especially the second time they played in three quarters. They won very easily.

   The University of Texas is a lot stronger, and psychologically, they also have a huge advantage.

  Barnes only made one request for the players before the start of the game: Do not underestimate the enemy.

  Single Taobao, underestimating the enemy is suicide.

   "There are only three games in the playoffs. I hope you will be twice as focused as the regular season. I don't want to see what you say come back next year. I just want to see you have no regrets this year!"

   Barnes’ chicken soup reaches the stomach in one step.

   After this bowl of chicken soup, the University of Texas is naturally alive and well on the playoffs stage.

   74 to 54, the University of Texas basically gave Iowa State University nothing, a big victory of 20 points.

   At Iowa State University, only Taylor scored 19 points, and none of the others scored in double figures.

   The "tornado tactics" that helped them in the game last time also failed in the game.

   If you watch the regular season and the playoffs at the same time, the most intuitive feeling is that Iowa State University is still Iowa State University, but the University of Texas is much better than when the two teams first played against each other!

   In the second round, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com's opponent of the University of Texas is the University of Missouri Tigers.

   In the first round of the game, the University of Missouri completed the following grams and defeated the third-ranked University of Oklahoma.

   This upset really made big12 fans feel the coolness of crazy three in advance.

   In the second round of the game, the University of Missouri also caused some trouble to the University of Texas.

   This was due to an adjustment made by the University of Missouri. They didn't let Carol go to defend Durant again.

   This adjustment liberated Carroll. He showed himself more offensively, scoring 12 points and 5 rebounds in the first half.

   But in the second half, Durant began to enter the scoring mode, and the University of Missouri was forced to use Carroll to top, which also doomed their final outcome.

   And there was a small detail in the game. Lin Ying completed a beautiful turn around hook at the basket in the second quarter, and Barnes was taken aback when he watched.

   Lin Ying training hooks and low footsteps is only known to Durant, which is a surprise to the coaching staff.

   71 to 61, after defeating the University of Missouri, the University of Texas successfully advanced to the big 12 league finals.

   And their opponent in the finals is the University of Kansas!

   The University of Kansas played more easily in the playoffs than the University of Texas, with an average win of 25+ per game, which is basically a dimensionality reduction blow.

   And in the second round against Kansas State University, they ushered in the comeback of Brandon Rush!

   Rush was in hot form in the first game of his comeback with Kansas State University. He scored 14 points and 4 rebounds in three quarters! It can be seen that he has completely recovered from the injury!

   This also means that the University of Texas will face a complete Kansas University in the finals!
