This Forward is Not Serious

Chapter 5: 2006~2007 season tour

   NCAA will not start until November, and basically the school enrollment will end in June and July.

   In other words, there will be three or four months free in the middle.

   These times are the preparation and training time of major universities.

   You must know that NCAA is different from the NBA. New talents with outstanding talents will leave the draft in June, while senior seniors who are experienced will either participate in the election or leave school, which is equivalent to a wave of blood every year.

   I have seen a lot of time in these three or four months, but it is very stressful for major universities.

   The University of Texas also took the semester before it started to arrange full training content.

   Their training content mainly focuses on basic training and physical training, supplemented by some basic tactical training.

   Barnes’s chicken soup level is very high, and his tactics are relatively weak.

   So Springman is in charge of team training.

   Fitness coach McGee Wright also started his work.

   The two key figures he is responsible for this year, Pittman and Durant.

   Of the two people, one is too fat, while the other is obviously too thin.

   is the process of training, Wright not only let two people, but also let everyone in the Longhorns experience what is called harsh.

   Especially for Pittman, he is required to get up at 5:30 every morning for training, and every meal must be evaluated by Wright, and if Wright feels inappropriate, he must be changed.

   Before Barnes was called "Angry Rick" among the players, and Wright was nicknamed "Crazy McGee".

   Within a few days, Pittman groaned.

   There are two reasons why people get fat: laziness and inability to control their mouths.

  Wright’s plan can be said to be a direct hit.

   After holding on for a week, Pittman gave up.

   Then, Wright ran to his dormitory, kicked him off the bed, and then scolded him severely until he cried and cried.

  The members of the Longhorn Bulls were all on the same floor, and they all rushed over after hearing the news.

   Durant used to comfort Pittman and made a promise to Pittman.

   "From today, every day in university, I will wake up early with you for training."

   Like Lin Ying, Durant is not caring about anyone, but his team concept.

   Pittman is a member of the team, he will not give up, especially since he is now the captain of the team.

   "If you succeed, you will become an idol to all of us."

   Augustine also followed.

   Lin Ying was inexplicably touched, because he did feel the existence of a "team" in this team.

   The ghost is a messenger, he also took a sentence:

   "It's all America."

  Fatty people are all potential stocks, not to mention that Pittman’s base is so large, a reduction of more than ten kilograms is inspirational, and a few tens of kilograms will definitely become a national sensation like he said.

   There is nothing wrong with the answer, but after he took it, Durant turned his head and glanced at him with a surprised look.

   Under the reassurance of everyone, Pittman's emotions were soothed, and he promised to continue Wright's plan.

   On the way back to the dormitory, Durant smiled and bumped Lin Ying, and Lin Ying was puzzled.

   "Did you not notice?"

   Durant said with a smile.

   Lin Ying shook her head, what did she notice?

   "I think we are right now at the University of Texas."

   Durant continued.

  The reason why he didn't go to North Carolina at the beginning, apart from Springman and those relations, there is another very important reason that Lin Ying.

   Although his personality is quite different, he doesn't have many good friends, except for Beasley, it is Lin Ying.

  With Lin Ying's ability, it is unrealistic to go to North Carolina.

   And what he just said was actually a change that Lin Ying might not have noticed.

   In the past, it was impossible for Lin Ying to speak in that situation.

  ……

   Durant is the kind of person who will do what he says. For the next summer, he will get up at 5:30 in the morning and ask Pittman to get up and train.

   At first, Pittman was embarrassed and couldn't say even if he wanted to give up. Later, he gradually got used to it.

   This process is actually the development of self-discipline.

   No matter what a person does, someone urging you by the side will do more with less.

   But they are not just two people, but Lin Ying.

   Lin Ying has played "suicide training" before. In terms of self-discipline, he is the highest in the team.

   So, no matter how hot the summer in Austin is, every morning and sunset, there are always three people who sweat the first in the arena, and then close the door of the training hall at the end.

  They gradually enjoy this kind of fun, so that if it were not for the school's regulations, they might have spent the night in the arena.

   Sunrise and sunset, summer passes and autumn comes.

   In a blink of an eye, the time has come to early November.

   Pittman lost a big lap, from 388 pounds when he first joined the team to 356 pounds!

   He successfully lost 30 pounds, close to 14 kilograms of weight!

   "Hold on, you will definitely become a national idol!"

   Durant said from the heart after seeing Pittman's results.

   Lin Ying said this sentence, but now he thinks it is in place.

   Of course, Pittman is not the only one who has changed, Durant is also stronger than when he first entered university.

   Let’s talk about Lin Ying. His weight has only increased by two kilograms, but his body fat rate has dropped from 10.1% to 8.5%. It looks very strong.

   Torture yourself is to prepare in advance so that you can suffer less in the future.

   The three of them are ready for the upcoming tournament.

   There is still less than half a month before the start of the new NCAA season.

   The major universities across the country have basically determined the list of the new season.

   At the same time, NCAA officially launched the first phase of the new season's "Power List".

   said it is the power list, it is a name that fans like, more accurately it should be called the standings.

   This list will count all the winning and losing points of the colleges and universities in the NCAA, which also includes the invitational games.

   It allows fans and the outside world to better understand the NCAA in the new season.

   More importantly, this will be an important reference basis for the NCAA Organizing Committee when making extended invitations.

   So it has always been the focus of fans and players.

   After the power list came out, Lin Ying and Durant immediately took the newspaper and studied in the dormitory.

  Because if they make it to Crazy Three, these are their potential opponents.

  First, University of Florida Alligators

   The University of Florida is a veritable "upstart" in the NCAA. Their previous school history was mediocre. Last year was the first time they reached the NCAA Finals, and then... they won!

   The past year was definitely a dream year for the fans of the University of Florida. If it were made into a documentary, it would sell well in the United States.

   But what is even more dreamy is that the three major cores who helped the team win the championship last year, Joakim Noah, Al Horford and Corey Brewer all chose to stay in school!

   If they won the championship last year by their talent, then this year they not only have talent, but also experience!

   Second, Ohio State Buckeyes

   The Buckeyes team had a championship in history, but that was all in 1960. In the past ten years, it hasn't been up or down. Last year, it was eliminated in the first round.

   But this year, Ohio State's admissions office will add chicken legs, because their admissions work can be described as open.

   They recruited Daquin Cook, Mike Conley, and Greg Oden!

  Lawrence High School was the No. 1 high school team in the United States last year. These three people are the absolute core of the team, and they are all five-star high school students!

   Normally the three of them will part ways when they arrive at the university, but they chose to join a school together.

   Their joining has directly filled the talent of the Buckeyes.

   Especially Oden, he is not only the top high school student in the United States.

   This monster, known as the combination of Chamberlain and Russell, was elected as the National Basketball Player in his senior year of high school. It is the second time after James to achieve this honor, and he has also been dubbed the "Great Emperor" by the media.

   His inside dominance was very terrifying in high school, basically the kind of attack and defensive end that encounters whoever blows up.

   If it weren't for the three Florida players who chose to stay in school, the Buckeyes would definitely be the most "powerful" team this year.

   Third, Georgetown University Marvel Team

Georgetown University is also a traditional NCAA team. There have been many NBA stars in history. Among them, the most famous are "Gorilla" Patrick Ewing and "Answer" Allen Iverson. There are Dikembe Mutombo, Alonzo Mourning and so on.

   It is not difficult to find from these names that this is a team that is very good at training centers.

   The center forward in the team is Roy Hibbert, who is already a junior and is 2.18 meters tall.

   In addition, the star of the team is the same junior power forward Jeff Green.

The two have already guaranteed the lower limit of this team. In addition, they also have Jesse Tharp, Jonathan Wallace, and Dajuan Summer who have also left their names in the draft in history. Si, and Patrick Ewing Jr.

   They stopped at the Sweet 16 last year, and then all the core players chose to stay in school, which is enough to show their determination for the new season.

  Fourth, UCLA Bruins

   has the same reputation in NCAA as North Carolina Duke, and the number of titles is the sum of the two.

   They reached the finals last year, but they lost to the University of Florida.

   In the new season, except for the departure of captain Farmar, the rest of the main players have stayed.

The remaining people are Aaron Afflaro in the third grade, Luke Richard Barmot in the second year, Darren Collins in the second year, and the three-star high school students they just recruited this year. Russell Westbrook.

   Fifth, University of Kansas Pinehawks

  Big12’s strongest team was unexpectedly upset when they scored 16 in 8 in the crazy three last year, and most of the main players stayed on the team.

   is making a comeback this year, and their goal is not just to reach the top eight of the elite.

   Sixth, the University of North Carolina team

   Duke North Carolina, NCAA duo, is also the two most famous colleges and universities that send basketball talents to the NBA.

   North Carolina is also Jordan’s alma mater and has won the NCAA championship 4 times in history.

   North Carolina stopped in the Sweet 16 last year, but its strength should not be underestimated.

   Now the core of this team is the old captain Tyler Hansbrough~www.wuxiahere.com~ Hansbrough is already a famous figure in the NCAA, and both freshman and sophomore seasons have an average of 19+8 per game.

   As for why he still stays in the NCAA, some people say that he has mediocre talent, but in human history, he is still in the NBA draft or lottery after four years of college. If this is considered mediocre talent, then other people don't have to live.

   In contrast, another statement is more reliable: for the championship.

   This sounds incredible, but like Tim Duncan because he promised his mother that he will not run for the election until he finishes college, Hansbrough is obsessed with the championship.

   Hansbrough lacked helpers last year. This year North Carolina recruited three top high school students at one time: Ty Lawson, Wayne Ellington and Brandon Wright.

   Including Rayshaun Terry and Danny Green, who are already in the formation, North Carolina is strong this year.

  ……

   No. 58, the University of Texas Longhorns

   This ranking is relatively low, but it is understandable.

   There are 7 newcomers on the 14-person team. Except for Durant and Augustine, the others are still unknown in high school.

   A team like this may be able to achieve results if they work together for a year or two, but the chances of the new season are very small.

   However, considering Durant's talent and the performance of the University of Texas in 16 championships in the past 18 years, they are still considered to be able to enter the crazy three.

   This first issue of the power list can be said to be more objective.

   Of course, when the University of Texas players saw this list, they got the same evaluation as they scolded.

   Obviously, after entering the University of Texas, Barnes ignited the fire of desire in their hearts, their ambitions have long been not satisfied with just making the championship.
