This Forward is Not Serious

Chapter 32: Come again next year?

   Barnes's eyes rolled naturally in response to Durant.

   Tiehan is tender, because it is so passionate that he can't help himself.

   What Barnes said after the team lost to Kansas was his tender side.

   But that point passed, and he was still the "Angry Rick".

   Durant closed his mouth wittily, but he couldn't stop the other team members with worried expressions on their faces.

   This schedule is indeed a bit too much!

   If this is to be an ordinary person, the first thought after seeing this schedule is probably: come back next year?

   But the seeds have been separated, they have no choice but to admit that they are unlucky.

   I can only blame them for losing the big12 finals.

   If they win the finals, no matter how they rank there, they will also be the top 8 seeded team in the region.

   And NCAA ranked them 13th in the region, which is basically in line with their season performance and strength.

   "Maybe some of us saw a difficult schedule, but what I want to say is that we won a chance to create a legend."

   Barnes is the old chicken soup master when he speaks.

   "If we can accomplish our goal this year, believe me, you will not only be the history of the school, but also the top eight elites with the highest gold content in the history of the NCAA. You will become a legend!"

   Barnes's next words made the players eager to try.

   This is chicken soup, but it's also the truth.

  Difficulties and opportunities will always coexist.

   If you don't say it far away, let's take the NBA championship as an example.

   The Lakers in 2010, the Mavericks in 2011, the Cavaliers in 2016...

   Those who are talked about by fans after dinner must also be those full of legends.

   Lin Ying and Durant turned their heads to look at each other at the same time, and then saw the high fighting spirit in each other's eyes.

  Barnes was talking about the quarterfinals, but they always wanted to be champions.

   If they can still win the championship under such a schedule, then they will not only get a championship, but may be the most legendary championship in NCAA history!

   In poetic words:

  This alliance will always have legends about them! Just like the story of TJ Ford circulated before the University of Texas!

   After rekindling the fighting spirit of the players, Barnes then began to talk to the players about the opponents they would face in the first round.

   The goal is very ambitious, but the road has to be taken step by step.

   Especially in "Crazy Three", a wrong step was taken, and the result was all out.

   The Georgetown University amazing team, they ranked third in the first NCAA "power list", higher than Kansas.

   Although there have been some ups and downs in their performance throughout the season, their rankings have also declined.

   But their strength is beyond doubt.

   This year they won the Big East Championship again after a lapse of 18 years!

  The Big East League is one of the most competitive leagues in the NCAA Tier 1 league.

   They include the University of Connecticut (which I am familiar with), Villanova University, Syracuse University/Syracuse University, St. John’s University, University of Pittsburgh, University of Cincinnati, University of West Virginia and many other NCAA powerhouses.

   Another more intuitive data. Last year, 8 teams in the Big East League entered the "Crazy Three", setting a new single-season team record!

   This year is a little less, but there are also 6 teams shortlisted!

   If it weren't for geographic relations, how could they become the No. 1 or No. 2 seed in the region.

   And again, this team reached the semifinals in the history of the team, and finally lost to Ohio State led by Oden in the semifinals.

   Encountering such an opponent in the first round is directly **** difficulty for the University of Texas.

   Of course Barnes has said that, and the University of Texas team members are ready for the challenge.

  Barnes also talked about Georgetown University at this time.

   The first part: the team members.

   In the first issue of "Power List", the approximate members of this team are already familiar to the outside world.

   But after a season, the player's state is different, and the key players will also change.

   In addition to the most dazzling Jeff Green and Roy Hibbert, the key figure is junior point guard Jonathan Wallace.

   Wallace can contribute 9.7 points per game and the team's highest 4.6 assists per game. He and Green and Hibbert formed the "troika" of the amazing team.

   In addition to the three carriages, their starting power forward is also particularly worthy of the University of Texas's attention.

   Da Juan Summers, as a freshman in Georgetown, averaged 9.2 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game.

   is just over 2 meters tall like Lin Ying, and has a 34% three-pointer percentage.

   Except for the different skin color, this is a replica of Lin Ying.

Among the other newcomers, the outstanding performances include the McDonald’s high school all-star player, and also the Virginia basketball player Vernon McLean, and the eldest son of the current Celtics coach Doug Rivers. Limi Rivers.

   Then, there are second-year striker Jesse Tharp in the starting lineup, and Patrick Ewing Jr., the sixth man on the team, the son of "Gorilla" Ewing.

   Just looking at this roster, you know how uncomfortable they are.

   The second part: the head coach.

   Georgetown University has a legendary coach named John Thompson Jr. He has coached in Georgetown for 27 years.

   Ewing, Iverson, Mourning, and Mutombo that you know are all his disciples.

   9 times Big East League championship, 4 times NCAA final semifinals, one NCAA championship, this is his fortune and glory left for Georgetown University.

   And now the head coach of Georgetown University is John Thompson III, the son of Jr. John Thompson.

   Thompson III is only 41 years old, very young as a head coach.

   But the tiger father has no dogs. Last season, Thompson III led Georgetown University to defeat the No. 1 Duke University in the country for the first time in 21 years, and reached the Sweet 16 in that season.

   If it weren't for the final champion Florida University in the 16-in-8 game, they could go further.

   Then this year, he led the team to regain the Big East championship after a lapse of 18 years.

   And Thompson III brought more than these achievements to Georgetown University, it is also the more important third part.

   Part Three: Tactics.

   The tactics currently used by Georgetown University are Princeton tactics, which are as famous as the triangle tactics.

   Maybe you think that Georgetown University has so many great big men, they should have been used as early as the time of Little John Thompson.

   is not actually.

   The reason why Georgetown University used this tactic is entirely because of Thompson III.

   Although Thompson III inherited his father’s inheritance, he did not teach at Georgetown University before.

   You must have guessed it. His previous position as an assistant and head coach was Princeton University.

   He has been a head coach at Princeton University for 5 years and 4 years as an assistant coach. If his father hadn't retired, he would probably create his own legend at Princeton University.

   But he came back, and then brought back Princeton tactics.

   The final result is just like what the fans saw, he led Georgetown University back to the NCAA powerful series.

   After Barnes finished speaking, Springman took over and focused on Princeton tactics.

   As a tactic that is as famous as the triangle tactic, it is certainly not simple.

The core concept of    triangle tactics is "read and react", while the core of Princeton is "human movement, ball movement, and coordination."

The motto of    triangle tactics is "to create a misplaced singles opportunity between the strong and the weak", while Princeton's motto is "the strong can take advantage of the weak, and the cleverness can take advantage of the strong".

   Does it look similar?

   This is the road in the fantasy novel.

   Although the two tactics are similar, their focus is completely different.

   If the triangle strategy emphasizes singles, then Princeton emphasizes the team.

   The collision of these two tactics will surely produce fierce sparks.

   Lin Ying has been listening. After listening, he felt the invisible pressure.

   This actually doesn't need him to analyze it.

   To sum up what Barnes said, Georgetown University has talent, tactics and an excellent head coach, absolutely tough.

   Of course, as a master of chicken soup, Barnes gave them another boost after analyzing his opponents.

  He gave an example that can no longer be appropriate: the Kings and Lakers in the early century.

   That is the most classic collision of triangle offense and Preston tactics on the highest stage.

   The final result is also well known.

   The Kings and the Lakers have encountered each other in the playoffs for three consecutive years.

   But without exception, it was the Lakers who had the last laugh.

   Talent, whistle, these are things that most people see.

   But as coaches, they see more tactics.

   Phil Jackson was obviously better than Adelman.

  Especially the one-stroke zone defense effectively limits the Preston tactics.

   "The Lakers can win, and we can also win."

   Barnes’ last words also ignited the confidence of the University of Texas team members.

  ...

   After mobilizing the players, Barnes and Springman returned to the office.

   sat down on the soft chair in the office, Barnes's face was much heavier than when he was on the training ground.

   "Damn the Alliance Committee!"

   And immediately he exploded.

   He had to give everyone confidence in front of the players, but he couldn't help but scold his mother when he returned to the office.

   They are obviously treated as cannon fodder.

   Springman did not dare to speak at this time.

   After Barnes's mood calmed down a little, he went on to say a proposal: Let Lin Ying play the fifth position.

"Um?"

  Barnes glanced at Springman suspiciously.

   He didn't expect Springman to say that.

   Springman saw that Barnes was interested, and then he also shared his thoughts.

   Like the triangle tactics, the Princeton tactics also have basic play styles: low series, high series and chin series.

   One or two of these three styles are the most commonly used, and they are all attacked by the center.

   As Peter Carell, the creator of Preston, said:

   Most of Princeton's passes are from small men to big men, but the person who makes the most critical pass must be the big man.

   So defending big players is also the top priority of defense.

   This is also why Springman suggested that Lin Ying play the fifth position.

   If Hibbert launches an offense from a high position, Lin Ying's predictive ability and his wingspan can put more pressure on Hibbert.

   As for the low position, Wendell's anti-Hibbert effect is not much better than Lin Ying.

   And Lin Ying has proved his low post defensive ability in past games, and his top man and block shots are also very good.

   Maybe he's better at preventing Hibbert than Wendell.

   This is only the defensive end.

   On the offensive end, Lin Ying pulls to the outside line. By then, Georgetown University’s border defense will not come out, which will be their biggest headache.

  Barnes took out the dried kiwi in the drawer and ate it.

   Springman's proposal is very thoughtful and bold.

   But the same risk is not small.

   Although Lin Ying has excellent arm length, she is only a little over 2 meters tall after all.

   Hibbert’s words, a 2.18 meter and a 2 meter 26 wingspan, this is a lot worse.

   "And there is one more thing. That way, it can make Damai and Jeff Green face-to-face, which is also the best for us."

   Seeing that Barnes was silent, Springman added.

  Barnes nodded at this moment.

   "You go to say hello to Lin first. We can also arrange part of the training tomorrow, but we will wait until the game."

  Barnes is quite stable.

  ...

   In the evening training class, Lin Ying and Durant first conducted some basic training, and then followed their respective targeted training.

   Durant's shooting under the practice confrontation, UU reading www. uukanshu.com and Lin Ying still practice his basket footwork and hook.

   Springman came in and saw Lin Ying smile when he was training.

   This is not the first time he has seen Lin Ying practice this. He had even seen Lin Ying use it during the big 12 league playoffs.

   Just because Lin Ying's skills under the basket are not mature yet, he didn't mention this in the chat with Barnes just now.

   But this is also a strange trick, especially if Lin Ying really plays the 5th position and occasionally catches twice at the basket, it might be a miraculous effect.

   "Let the movie confront Roy Hibbert? Rose, are you serious?"

   When Springman talked to Lin Ying about his proposal, the one who reacted the most was not Lin Ying but Durant.

   Springman considers the problem to be at the team level, but Durant is from the perspective of a friend!

   The height difference is close to 20 centimeters, Lin Ying is a serious cannon fodder!

   Springman nodded in response to Durant, but his eyes were always on Lin Ying.

   Let Lin Ying play the 5th position is also his idea after the training session in the afternoon, so he discussed with Barnes before asking Lin Ying first.

   If Lin Ying says that he can't do it now, then he can talk to Barnes again later.

   After all, Barnes's current attitude is not completely supportive, and the team has not yet started training.

   So the key lies in Lin Ying's own wishes.

   "You can try."

   Lin Ying thought for a while and wanted to reply.

   What Springman said really makes sense.

   And from the perspective of his traverser, Springman's proposal is also very advanced.

   Because of this lineup...

   It is the Five Little Deaths!
