This striker is not serious

"Gong Xiaobin."

Yao Ming gave the answer.

This answer is different from what Lin Ying thought.

He originally thought Yao Ming would talk about Okur.

After all, Okur was the person who gave Yao Ming the biggest headache in history, and he happened to be an inside man who could shoot three-pointers.

But if you think about it carefully, the timing doesn't match up. The Jazz won't face the Rockets in the playoffs until this year.

During the regular season, Okur failed to leave a deep impression on Yao Ming.

And Gong Xiaobin’s answer is also very reasonable.

Yao Ming entered the national team early to play, and compared to those in the NBA, the big brothers of the national team will have a deeper impression on him.

Yao Ming then gave his reasons.

"You have similar physical conditions, you are also very smart in playing, you both shoot well, and of course... you are both quite handsome."

Gong Xiaobin has a nickname called "Xiaoyao King", which means that he plays well and has many female fans.

Ah, if you can talk, talk more!

Lin Ying nodded.

He wanted to say something kind, but after going through it in his mind, he realized that he didn't know how to say anything.

"Thanks."

He finally choked out two silly words.

Yao Ming couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

When Yang Yi came here, he still didn't believe it when he told him that Lin Ying was a dull gourd. It's not as good as seeing him at first sight.

"Let's go find a Chinese restaurant to have something to eat."

Yao Ming said and asked Lin Ying to walk out together.

Some domestic fans like to call Yao Ming "silly big guy" because he is tall, but in fact, I am afraid that few people have higher quotient than Yao Ming.

A man who plays basketball in a foreign country and encounters discrimination everywhere can still gain a foothold and conquer a group of famous players.

Just from this sentence you can feel how difficult it is to do this, so naturally you will no longer use the term "black for the sake of being black".

Lin Ying was indeed a little hungry.

They eat earlier during the evening game.

As a basketball player, Yao Ming has obviously thought of this too.

Moreover, eating and chatting was more atmospheric than Lin Ying imagined, sitting on the court and chatting.

Yao Ming doesn't come to Austin often. Although Yang Yi leads the way, the Chinese restaurants they find only have average taste.

Moreover, most of the dishes in foreign Chinese restaurants are different from what we usually eat in China.

Using triangle tactics as an example, it is the difference between version 2.0 and version 1.0.

They have all been modified to cater to foreign tastes, and even the names have been changed so that you can’t recognize them.

For example, General Tso's chicken, Li Hongzhang's offal (why does it sound like a curse?), fortune cookies, tangerine peel chicken...

Even if you are a Chinese, you may not know what these things are if you have never eaten them.

"If you have the chance to go to Houston, I will take you to Yao Restaurant to eat authentic Shanghainese food."

After Lin Ying came to the restaurant, he didn't talk much as usual, but Yao Ming took good care of him.

This is the difference in personality of each person, and it was the same when Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, and Sun Yue got together.

In Yao Ming's opinion, it is rare to be able to meet basketball players from a different country in a foreign country.

"good."

Lin Ying's answer was still so concise.

But Yao Ming seemed to have adapted, and after smiling, he chatted with him about other things.

For example, why Lin Ying gave himself the nickname "Shadow Assassin".

Another example is why he showed up in Austin to watch him play this time.

After chatting, Lin Ying discovered that Yao Ming was full of personal charm, the kind that radiated from his bones.

"Brother Yao, I want to ask if you have any advice for me on the court."

Later in the conversation, Lin Ying's name for Yao Ming changed and he became more relaxed in his speech.

Of course, he didn't forget what Durant said.

"What position do you plan to play in the future?"

When Lin Ying asked this, Yao Ming's expression became serious.

However, he did not answer directly. Instead, he asked Lin Ying a question first.

This is also a very critical issue.

The development directions of different locations are completely different.

And don’t think that Lin Ying played inside in the NCAA and must play inside in the NBA.

Historically, Durant and Leonard played inside in college, but they also played small forward in the NBA.

"Power Forward."

Lin Ying gave his own answer.

In order to allow himself to enter the NCAA first-level league within one year, he analyzed and trained three-pointers and passing.

In the six months since he entered the University of Texas, in addition to continuing to improve in these two aspects, his defensive and organizational skills have also been greatly improved.

But training time is limited.

While he was improving these aspects, other abilities such as agility and speed were not improved much compared to before.

Because of his physical potential, it's not that he can't practice these things, and it doesn't even rule out the possibility of him switching to small forward in the future.

But he had previously decided to win a championship with Durant and then enter the NBA together.

This means that his remaining time in the NCAA may only be more than a month.

Improving those within this month is obviously a bit impossible.

So power forward is his inevitable choice now.

Moreover, according to the bone age test, his height can reach up to 2.04 meters. Although this is not outstanding among power forwards, it still reaches the average level of the NBA.

Some people may say that the defensive end will suffer against a tall forward, but you also have to consider his wingspan and strength.

Some short men in the NBA can even play center based on their wingspan and strength, such as the famous Ben, the less famous Hayes, etc.

Hearing Lin Ying's answer, Yao Ming nodded.

He could see Lin Ying's height, but he could also see his wingspan and strength.

"As for the power forward, I can give you some suggestions."

Yao Ming is still very cautious.

If Lin Ying wants to play small forward, he won't give any advice. If he is a power forward, he can give some advice.

After all, he is now Lin Ying's senior, and the advice he gives may very well affect Lin Ying's entire career.

If it is a good suggestion, everyone is happy;

If it is not good, it may not be a good thing for Lin Ying, and it may even destroy Lin Ying.

When Lin Ying heard Yao Ming's words, his expression became particularly focused.

Although he himself is a basketball analyst, it is a collection of data after all, and there is no comparison with Yao Ming's experience accumulated from playing basketball.

Not to mention that Yao Ming is a player with high intelligence.

"I think you can add some low post offense."

Yao Ming gave his own suggestions and then gave his reasons.

"Your current style of play relies more on Durant's performance. If one day he does not perform well or is restricted, others will need to step up.

Especially in intense games, your outside three-point shooting percentage will drop as your physical strength decreases later in the game. At that time, you will need to attack in the low post.

And if you are a threat in the low post, your opponents will be wary of you scoring when they are defending you, and your passing skills will be better utilized."

Lin Ying was thoughtful after listening to what Yao Ming said.

He already had a clear feeling when he played Kansas before.

As long as the opponent doesn't give him a three-point chance and then cuts off Durant's passing route, there is only a limit to what he can do.

It can be said that if Augustin was not there, the University of Texas would probably have handed over the game in advance.

It's hard to miss Kansas' execution and discipline, but Augustin won't be that good every game.

So next time, that is, when the league meets in the playoffs, the University of Texas has a greater chance of losing.

Not to mention that Rush might have come back by then.

And from the University of Texas' side, low-post offense is the basic tactic in the triangle tactic.

If he is in the low post, Durant will have more offensive options on the outside and it will be more difficult for the opponent to defend.

Yao Ming's suggestion is very meaningful.

Even this is not just a current problem, it will also help him enter the NBA in the future.

It's just that the four words "low post attack" cover too much.

Low post singles, low post hooks, steps at the basket... these all fall into this category.

It is difficult to master these technologies in a short period of time.

It was only a month before the start of Crazy Three, and he could only practice one of them at most.

And they have to find a master-level "teacher" just like they did when they learned the triangle offense, so that there are some possibilities.

But now, regardless of whether he has time to train, even this teacher...

When thinking of this, Lin Ying looked at Yao Ming.

Yao Ming didn't know that Lin Ying was a "CPU" and had already analyzed so many things in an instant.

Seeing Lin Ying's somewhat eager eyes, he was stunned for a moment.

"Can I learn from you?"

Lin Ying's words stunned both Yao Ming and Yang Yi beside him.

Especially the way Yang Yi looked at Lin Ying, he was not just looking at Meng Hulu, but looking at a Meng Hulu with low emotional intelligence.

Someone gives you advice, but you just rely on it!

Yao Ming came to his senses and then... nodded!

To be honest, he didn't expect Lin Ying to make such a request at this time, because it did seem a bit low on emotional intelligence.

But he also felt that Lin Ying was very courageous, like a student who was greedy for knowledge.

He nodded, but what Lin Ying said next almost made him fall over.

"Let's go now!"

Yang Yi on the side couldn't stand it and coughed for a while.

Lin Ying's actions look very much like Durant's.

However, this was not because Lin Ying was affected by staying with Durant for a long time, but because he guessed that Yao Ming would not refuse.

In fact, there is another layer of connection between the two people that is easily overlooked: they may play for the national team together in the future.

Who is Yao Ming? His love for Chinese basketball is famous.

There are people in history who directly blocked their careers just to be able to play in the Olympics at home!

Now that there is an opportunity to help potential future national team teammates improve their strength, do you think he will refuse?

But hearing Yang Yi's cough, Lin Ying also realized that he might be a little anxious.

"I'm afraid you don't have time."

He continued to explain.

If he plays at a college in Houston, there is indeed a chance.

But now they are all in Texas, which is the largest state in the United States.

"I will come to your school training hall at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning."

Yao Ming said.

Although Texas is big, it is in the same state after all. It only takes 2 and a half hours to drive from Austin to Houston.

He originally planned to go back tomorrow morning, but now that Lin Ying has mentioned it, he is not in a hurry to go back later.

Seeing that Yao Ming agreed, Lin Ying was so excited that she didn't know what to say.

"Thanks."

The last two words that came out of his mouth were very true.

Yao Ming was so amused that he laughed so hard this time.

Lin Ying is so interesting.

…

After saying goodbye to Yao Ming, Lin Ying returned to the dormitory.

When there are competitions, they don't practice three times a day, as that puts too much load on the body.

After chatting with Durant about meeting Yao Ming for a while, the two of them went to bed earlier than usual.

Durant fell asleep quickly, and seemed to be mumbling something about "Rachel" in his dream. He didn't know which female star it was.

Lin Ying couldn't sleep, and it wasn't because of Durant.

This is not the first time Durant has done this, he has long been used to it.

It's about training with Yao Ming tomorrow.

All in all, this should be the first time he formally learns technology from others.

Does he need to hold an apprenticeship ceremony?

Or do you need to prepare some gifts in advance?

The matter of communication really hit his soft spot.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. Finally, he put on his headphones and fell asleep. When he woke up, he saw that it was only around 3 o'clock in the middle of the night.

And at this time, he was really not sleepy at all.

After lying down for a while, he simply stopped sleeping and carefully got up and walked out of the dormitory.

University campuses in the United States are quite different from those in China.

It doesn't have a fence that surrounds it, and it's much easier to get in and out from outside than from inside.

However, it is precisely because of this difference that safety is a big issue, so the campus will be equipped with police, security and dormitory administrators.

If you enter important places such as dormitories and libraries, you will also be required to authenticate with your real name.

Of course, in Free America, the safety factor here is definitely not as high as at home.

When Lin Ying came downstairs, the dormitory manager was already asleep, so he opened the door and went out by himself.

It is cold outside.

It’s still winter in Texas in February, and the temperature is very low in the middle of the night.

He took a few steps and started sneezing from the cold, then he simply started jogging.

After a while, the body warmed up.

When he was approaching the arena, he slowed down and took out his phone to check the time. It was almost exactly around four o'clock.

He looked around.

At this time, the sky was still dark, and there was no other light except for a few street lamps inside the campus.

There are three types of universities in the United States: urban, suburban and rural.

The University of Texas belongs to the first type, being in a noisy city.

But Austin is different from big cities like Los Angeles and New York. Basically no one comes out late at night.

Lin Ying couldn't feel Kobe's "four o'clock in the morning in Los Angeles" scene at this time.

He had the key to the training hall, opened the door, locked the door, and then started training.

When you are full of energy and can't sleep, exercise is the best way to release energy, and it will be very efficient.

In addition to some basic training, Lin Ying also tried to practice his steps under the basket and hook shot.

It does feel a bit clumsy.

Basketball is not about just having skills, nor is it just physical talent, you still have to practice.

After he finished practicing and rested for a while, his cell phone rang.

It was Yao Ming who called and said they were almost at school.

Lin Ying went to wash his face and then opened the door.

After waiting for a while, Yao Ming appeared at the door, accompanied by a driver.

The driver was very strong and looked like he also worked as a bodyguard.

"You came early?"

Yao Ming was surprised when he saw Lin Ying sweating profusely at the door.

You know, he arrived ten minutes ahead of the agreed time.

But looking at Lin Ying’s posture in the middle of winter, it’s taken at least a few hours of practice, right?
