This striker is not serious

What are basketball tactics?

This is a very broad thing.

According to written terms, basketball tactics is the general term for the offensive and defensive methods used by players in basketball games. It is the rational use of individual skills of players and the organizational form of collaborative cooperation between players.

But the purpose of basketball tactics is relatively narrow, and it mainly includes two aspects.

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

The second is to allow more players to participate in the offense and maintain enthusiasm on the court.

The second point is a point that is easily overlooked, while the first point is the most critical point.

Take the zone-breaking defense that Springman talked about.

The meaning of playing more and less locally is to create open opportunities, and then use methods including but not limited to three-pointers to send the ball into the basket more easily.

So why should we emphasize this point when breaking the zone defense?

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

Zone defense is a defensive method in which 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.

So how can we achieve localized treatment of more and less?

It’s also very simple. According to the characteristics of zone defense, as long as the offensive team’s inside line picks and rolls at a high position, and then the players in the center line or one side move to the other side, it will form a local overplaying situation.

This is why many times when there is a zone defense on the court, you can often see players going from the baseline to the other side to catch the ball and shoot open three-pointers.

Springman's example is very vivid.

Just like when you were a student and knew how to solve a problem and why it could be solved that way, the levels are different.

After Lin Ying listened, he looked at the basketball technical and tactical manual on the table, just like reading a martial arts secret book.

If he masters these tactics, it will definitely take his strength to a higher level.

"Coach, thank you."

Lin Ying looked at Springman, with heartfelt gratitude in his eyes.

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

Springman smiled and nodded to Lin Ying. The scene was very warm.

"Rose, where's mine?"

However, this warm scene was quickly broken by someone's words.

The person who broke it was naturally Durant.

Durant looked at Springman expectantly, just like a child asking his parents for candy.

Springman was stunned for a moment.

Ah, I didn’t ask you to come here before!

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

"Kevin, you are already good enough."

Springman said with a smile.

Durant was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded.

Even though you didn’t get anything, why wouldn’t you like hearing the coach say you’re awesome?

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

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

"It's Christmas in two days, how about you come to my house?"

Durant then extended an invitation to Lin Ying.

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

Last year, Lin Ying was not particularly familiar with Durant, so this was the first time Durant had extended such an invitation to him.

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

Durant saw Lin Ying didn't react at first and then added.

Lin Ying nodded after hearing this.

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

Durant said this, which shows that he really wants him to go and he can't refuse.

After all, Durant is his only friend.

When Durant saw Lin Ying agreeing, he jumped excitedly and looked quite happy.

A few days later, Christmas 2006 arrived as scheduled.

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

A very ordinary small attic.

Others were already in the room: Durant's mother, Wanda Pratt, grandmother, Barbara Davis, brother, Tony Durant, and Michael Beasley.

Durant had more or less talked about Beasley with Lin Ying before.

Beasley's family situation is even worse than Durant's. Like Durant, his parents are divorced, but his father does not pay child support and his mother works multiple jobs to support the family, resulting in him growing up completely freely.

It is not difficult to understand why Beasley has so much trouble off the court.

It's just a melon vine. If you don't pull it, it will basically grow crooked, let alone a human being?

Fortunately, Beasley got to know Durant, and Wanda was a good person and adopted Beasley.

So in a sense, Beasley can be regarded as one of Durant's "family".

There were not many people, but we had Christmas food and the house was decorated in a festive atmosphere.

All of this was done by Durant's mother, Wanda.

Wanda was also very enthusiastic towards Lin Ying, and that maternal love made Lin Ying feel indescribably warm.

When eating, Wanda kept putting things on his plate.

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

Lin Ying felt like there was sand in her eyes, so she stood up and said she was going to the bathroom.

When he got to the toilet and closed the door, he couldn't control his emotions and cried.

In fact, among the three people, he may be the most miserable one.

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

It was really small, so small that he couldn't even remember what it felt like.

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

After waiting for a while, Lin Ying regained her composure, washed her face and left the bathroom.

"What's wrong?"

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

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

Lin Ying opened his mouth to explain.

"I already told you to install a screen in the bathroom, otherwise there will be a lot of bugs."

Durant said after hearing this.

"It's December, there are a lot of bugs."

Tony Durant on the side said and knocked Durant on the head.

The two soon started arguing.

"Okay, let's eat first. Who wants the other turkey leg?"

Wanda spoke at this time.

"I want!"

"I want you to be an older brother, don't you know how to give way to your younger brother?"

"Brother also wants to grow taller, and I'm looking for a girlfriend."

…

Looking at the two people who kept bickering, Lin Ying's heart felt like a furnace.

Comparing it to his deserted environment most of the time, this is probably the atmosphere of home.

After finishing the meal, the room finally became quieter.

Durant was sitting on the balcony looking outside.

Lin Ying saw it and walked over.

"When I was a child and lived in a city, a choir would come to the door to sing after 12 o'clock."

Seeing Lin Ying coming, Durant looked outside and said.

His eyes were full of memories, and it seemed that their family's living conditions were not bad before.

But it is understandable that Wanda is a woman who can do her best to maintain this family.

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

Durant's eyes were firm when he said this. He must have had this idea for a long time.

Except for some "eccentricities", his outlook on life is really upright.

"What I mean is that when I save enough money, I will buy a big house. Because our family is big enough, I will share a room with you."

Durant finished speaking and then added.

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

Lin Ying was startled. He could feel that Durant's words just now meant that he was treated as "family".

The furnace in his heart became even brighter.

"Then you have to try to kill Greg Oden and become the No. 1 pick."

Lin Ying said with a smile.

"The number one scholar...wait a minute."

Durant originally wanted to say that being the No. 1 pick was not that easy, but he quickly turned to look at Lin Ying.

He looked at it for a long time.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Ying felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by Durant.

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

The first two times he asked Durant, Durant said nothing.

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

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

"What?"

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

"You rarely joked when you were with me before, but after arriving in Austin, you became much more cheerful."

"Have it?"

"have."

Durant gave a very positive answer.

Lin Ying thought for a while but said nothing.

It seems so.

This change was something he didn't notice, but it had a lot to do with the environment.

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

Same.

There was a sudden silence, both of them thinking about their own things.

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

After a while, Durant asked first.

"Maybe the year after tomorrow."

Lin Ying gave an uncertain answer.

Although he was on TNT before and has recently entered the team's starting lineup, he is still different from a "monster" with historical talent like Durant.

Especially since the University of Texas is not considered a powerhouse in the NCAA, if he wants to be selected, he will probably have to wait until Durant leaves the team and then becomes the team's star player before he has a chance.

So at the earliest, we won’t have a chance until the end of next season, that is, in 2008.

"Have you ever thought about us making it to the NBA together?"

Durant then asked.

Lin Ying nodded.

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

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

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

Durant said suddenly.

"champion?"

Lin Ying looked at Durant in surprise.

Before the start of the season, Barnes' 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 knew how far they were from winning the championship.

Because there are teams stronger than Kansas in the power rankings.

The strongest ones are the villain Ohio State University with "Thanos" Oden and "Handsome Ebony Maw" Conley, and the "Avengers" Florida University with Noah, Horford, and Brewer.

The strength of these two universities is superior to other schools. The University of Texas is trying to hit them with an egg against a stone.

"Yes, champion!"

Durant's eyes were firm.

"Although we are not that strong yet, we are making progress. Defeating Iowa State is the beginning. We will get stronger and stronger. As long as we have ideas, we will have a chance to win the championship!"

Speaking of excitement, Durant looked at Lin Ying with burning eyes.

Lin Ying was affected by Durant's words.

When he first traveled through time a year ago, he was not even a starter on the high school team.

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

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

He may have underestimated his own progress, just as he and others underestimated UT's progress.

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 of entering the NBA with Durant!

That is the happiest thing for him!

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

This is an agreement made with Lin Yinglu Gou.

Lin Ying also stretched out his hand, and the two 18-year-old boys reached an agreement with their little fingers.

They want to win the championship this season 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 I was rude, but it was also a pity.

If they meet again next time, they will win back what they lost at once!
