This Forward is Not Serious

Vol 2 Chapter 42: Do you want to come to Los Angeles?

   Different from the previous internal league games, there will be a small press conference after each game of "Mad Three".

   The two teams that lose and win will participate one after another.

   Of course, the difference from NBA games is that because of the attention paid to the games, there are not too many reporters in many games.

   So many times this kind of conference is mostly a cutscene.

   Of course, that situation does not apply to the game at the University of Texas tonight.

   When Georgetown University entered the venue, the bottom was almost full.

   When I came to the University of Texas, not only was it full, but there were also quite a few reporters standing at the end.

   Such a scene seems very real.

   This game was supposed to be a focus battle in the first round, but now it’s upset. Haven't the reporters sharpened their heads and drilled in?

   Then, they witnessed a scene that has never been seen before in NCAA history.

  The number of people from the University of Texas who came to the press conference...

  1,2,3,4,5,6...

   That mighty group of people, the whole team is here!

   The press conference hasn't started yet, and the reporters can't help but rush to take pictures.

   This wave, absolutely!

   Of course, there are only a few places on the stage, except for Barnes, Durant, and Lin Ying who are sitting down, everyone else is standing behind them.

   The reporters took another photo.

   Barnes sits in the center, with Lin Ying and Durant on both sides, and other players from the University of Texas behind him.

   This picture is very similar to Vito Corleone and his family members.

   Then this press conference also proved a truth: there is a reason for the C debut!

   It stands to reason that Durant easily scored 20+10, and Lin Ying scored a triple-double. They will be the focus of reporters' attention.

   But because Durant had smashed reporters at the media meeting before, Lin Ying was not very talkative, and finally Barnes became the focus of questions from reporters in the audience.

  The following is the meeting minutes of this press conference:

   Question 1: Why do you guys come here?

   If the reporter's question is divided into four levels of ABCD, this question belongs to D level.

   There is no difficulty, just curiosity.

  Barnes’ answer is also very simple: This is Kevin’s idea. He said that winning tonight is the team’s credit, and I support his idea.

   Seek truth from facts, restore some of Durant's image in front of the media, and show the harmonious atmosphere of the team by the way.

   Question 2: Did you think about winning by a big score tonight before the game?

   This question is C-level.

   There are pits, but you can avoid it with a little attention.

   Barnes’s answer is close to the standard answer: No, we are facing one of the best teams in the NCAA this year, both in terms of staffing and tactical capabilities.

   This wave is teaching Lin Ying and the others again.

   If the one who lost to Kansas in the previous league finals was called "Undefeated", then this lesson is called "Win without arrogance".

   and you have won. After the game, if you praise your opponent, doesn't it mean you praise yourself?

   Question 3: Who do you think the team performed best tonight?

   I jumped to B at this difficulty level.

   In terms of performance, Lin Yinghui is the best candidate with amazing triple-double data.

   But the core of this team is Durant, and his performance tonight is not bad.

   This kind of question that may provoke the relationship between players in the team at any time, the difficulty itself is C-level.

  The reason why Lin Ying's triple-double was promoted to Level B was because of the "brushing" element in it.

  Barnes' answer: Lin, there is no doubt that his matchup with Hibbert tonight determines the outcome of the game.

   It is estimated that it will take a while to change to another team, but Barnes will not have this trouble.

  Because he knows the relationship between Durant and Lin Ying.

   You can believe that Durant will have trouble with the coaching staff, but it is definitely a rumor to say that the two of them are in conflict.

   And he was very smart and didn't mention the data, only talked about the counterpoint.

   In fact, Hibbert was completely dominant before facing Lin Ying, but after facing Lin Ying, he immediately withered.

   That is also the most important watershed of the game.

   This was even more obvious in the second half, and Lin Ying's existence made Georgetown University dare not go to Hibbert.

   Question 4: In the next round, you will face the University of North Carolina. They are one of the most prestigious teams in the NCAA. Do you think the team can win?

   is another B-level difficulty problem.

   If you answer yes, it will give people a feeling of floating.

   And when North Carolina heard the hatred, it automatically pulled up, and by the way, you gave yourself a wave of poisoned milk.

   But if you can't answer, then your team's morale will be lost.

   Don't talk about the usual public occasions, just now your team members are standing by your side.

   This is also the usual method of senior reporters.

Barnes’ answer: We haven’t had time to consider our opponents in the next round. I just want our players to celebrate. As I said earlier, we defeated the most powerful team in the NCAA. For one, it is worth celebrating.

   This wave of operations is actually the ultimate answer to "Whoever you choose to swap the souls of my girlfriend and I".

   I choose to change a girlfriend!

   When you are faced with a question where the answer is wrong, none of the choices is the correct answer.

   Minutes recorder: Lin Ying.

   is over? What about A-level difficulty?

   How could there be an A grade!

  A level difficulty is basically just rushing to make things happen.

   There is no grudge against Barnes and the University of Texas. No one will ask that kind of question.

  ...

   Houston.

   The Rockets defeated the Raptors in a game that just ended.

   Yao Ming scored 23 points and 12 rebounds. He scored his first 20+10 after his comeback. Tracy McGrady scored 24 points against the old master.

   "MM" scored 47 points together, and "Streetball King" sent a game-high 9 assists.

   With this title, "Basketball Pioneer" can be sold out.

   However, there is still suspense in the game. The Raptors TJ Ford performed well, scoring 18 points, 8 assists and 2 steals. The three statistics were the highest in the team, leading the team to keep biting the score.

   "Yao, the University of Texas won!"

   As soon as he returned to the locker room, Alstom, who was reading the news with his mobile phone, couldn't help but yelled.

   Of the teams the Rockets bought before, Yao Ming has the biggest odds.

  According to the odds, the University of Texas will definitely make a round trip.

   I didn't expect it to be upset.

   "It seems that I have a good vision."

   Yao Ming said with a smile.

   The team won the game and he performed well, and he is in a very good mood now.

   "The Chinese player named Lin took a triple-double, incredible!"

   Alston continued.

   Yao Ming was also surprised when he heard this.

   Although he had watched Lin Ying's game and taught Lin Ying some inside skills, he honestly didn't think Lin Ying could play so well.

   "It looks like I have a chance to meet him in the NBA next season."

   But he continued quickly.

   Since Wang Zhizhi also returned to China last year, he has been "lonely" in the NBA.

   But next season, Yi Jianlian, Sun Yue, and Lin Ying will all have a chance to enter the NBA. That feeling is still quite good.

   And after saying this, he took his phone out of the closet, read the news, and then sent a text message to Lin Ying.

  ...

   The visiting team locker room.

   I must not be happy if I lose.

   But Ford's mood at this time is quite good.

   Not all players will say "the stats don't make any sense after losing."

   You hear a lot of it because of "survivor deviation", and it is because they say something special that they will be reported by the media.

   In fact, most players are very concerned about data, because that thing, like your work performance, directly determines your future salary.

   Ford performed very well tonight.

   Of course, it is not only his performance that makes him happy, but also the University of Texas defeating Georgetown University!

  Although he has left the University of Texas for many years, it is rare for him to have time to go back to his alma mater to watch the game, but he will still pay attention to the game.

   Especially the crazy three games.

   After the University of Texas stopped in the Elite Eight last year, he even called Barnes.

   This year, the team is not divided into groups, he originally thought that there was basically no hope.

   I didn't expect to win, and also won so many.

   He looked at the schedule and then sent a text message to Barnes.

  ...

   Just after coming out of the press conference, Barnes and Lin Ying felt a shock in their crotch.

  Barnes reached out and took out...the phone.

   After seeing Ford's text message to himself, a smile appeared on his face.

   "TJ will go to the scene next game."

   He also told his players the news.

   "TJ·Ford?"

   Durant got excited when he heard this.

   After seeing Barnes nodding, his eyes burst into light.

   He also told Lin Ying before that Ford came to see them play.

   I didn’t expect Ford to come!

   This gave him confidence in the next game instantly.

   What about North Carolina!

  I did it in North Carolina!

   After returning to the locker room, Lin Ying took out the phone.

   There is a text message from Yao Ming.

"Forehead…"

   After reading the text message, Lin Ying was stunned.

"What's wrong?"

   Durant looked at Lin Ying suspiciously.

   Lin Ying didn't say anything, and handed him the phone directly.

   Durant took a look, still looking at Lin Ying suspiciously.

   Lin Ying patted his head, forgetting that Yao Ming sent him Chinese. It is strange that Durant can understand it.

   He followed and explained it again.

   "Congratulations on your triple-double. It looks like you can match up with you in the NBA next season (manual smiley)."

   "We have to work harder from behind!"

   Durant said after listening.

   Although they won the first game beautifully, their goal, Lin Ying's entry into the NBA, has just begun!

   Lin Ying nodded.

   Just then Springman came to the locker room and called him out.

   The scout in the stands came to him.

  Because Durant had previously told Springman that he wouldn't see scouts until the end of Crazy Three, so the scouts who were looking for Durant were pushed by him.

   But this is the first time a scout has looked for Lin Ying in private.

   Lin Ying was a little excited and nervous when she saw the scout when she went out.

   He has always had a basketball dream, and that dream made him not choose the shortcut of business or investment in life, but still choose basketball, and he is willing to work harder for it.

   Now his efforts have finally paid off.

   He has already seen the stepping stone to the highest hall of basketball in the NBA.

   This is where he is excited.

   is nervous because he didn't expect so many teams to come to him.

   Mavericks, Rockets, Spurs, and Lakers?

  Because of the large number of people, Springman took them to the office next door, and then everyone chatted privately with Lin Ying for a few minutes.

   They all expressed their affection for Lin Ying one after another, and then hoped that Lin Ying could participate in their trial training.

   NBA trial training generally has three situations:

   The first is the joint trial organized by the NBA. The venue is generally arranged in Chicago, so it is also called the Chicago joint trial.

   Anyone can participate in this kind of trial, and the scouts of all teams will be there.

   is like a player supermarket, the team will leave contact information with interested players.

   The second kind is the request received by Lin Ying, the team's private joint training.

   Draft rights are limited, and most of the team's trial training will not invite only one person.

   At the same time invite several rookies to try out together, and then let them compete against each other, and then choose the players they want most.

   This is also a very common way of trial training.

   Like the Mavericks and the Rockets, this is the idea.

   The third type is relatively rare, individual trial training + draft commitment.

   This kind of generally appears on hot rookies.

   For example, I often see news that a certain champion only tries to train for which team.

   This kind of usually only appears after the draw is over.

   But what Lin Ying didn't expect was that the Spurs gave him a third training method.

   They hope that Lin Ying will not participate in the joint training, and then only participate in their secret training.

   This is not surprising.

   The Spurs are good at low position Taobao. To successfully complete Taobao, the first thing to do is to keep this "treasure" from being discovered by others.

   If you are cut off by others, you can only say "Treasure, infusion, what kind of liquid to infuse, miss your night", and desire is unavailable.

   "We are very eager to have you."

   The Spurs’ scout is very tempting.

   But Lin Ying did not give a clear attitude.

  , after all, came across, and he still knew about painting flatbread.

   Moreover, verbal promises have no legal effect. He has often seen news about draft promises that were not fulfilled in the end.

   He even read a novel called "Basketball's Krypton-Golden Invincible" before, and the protagonist named Tang Tian had a similar experience.

   So he does not deny the sincerity of the Spurs, but he will not really pin all hopes on the Spurs.

   The last one I chatted with was the scout of the Lakers.

   Compared to the previous three, this scout is more interesting.

   Because the first sentence he said to Lin Ying when he came in was:

   "Do you want to come to Los Angeles?"

   This kind of prologue is... very special!

   But it is also very real.

   Los Angeles is one of the largest metropolises in the United States, and the Lakers are the biggest giants in the NBA.

   more than honor, only the Celtics can fight;

  Compared to the city, only New York can compare with it.

   But there are honors and the ball market, it is the Lakers.

   So you can fully understand where his confidence comes from.

   Although O'Neal has become a bit depressed in the past two years because of the trade, Kobe's existence is the Lakers' biggest hole card.

   As long as you find a suitable second-in-chief for Kobe, the Lakers' revival is close at hand.
