This Forward is Not Serious

　　 "You want to ask me how to defend Oden?"

　　 When Lin Ying asked this question on the phone, Yao Ming was taken aback.

　　 because of this problem touched his knowledge blind zone.

　　 First of all, he has not watched Oden's game. Secondly, he has a big difference in height with Lin Ying, and his defensive skills are also poor.

　　 But he did not directly reject Lin Ying.

　　 From his previous contact with Lin Ying, Lin Yinghui asked that such words were not easy.

　　 And it's easy to understand, after all, Oden, who Lin Ying will face off in the next game, is the hottest candidate for the No. 1 pick in this year's draft.

　　 "I will give you an answer tomorrow."

　　 After hanging up Lin Ying's call, Yao Ming thought about how to help.

　　 Someone just came out of the bathroom at this time.

　　 He frowned slightly, but he stretched out.

　　 No, there is a ready-made one in front of you.

　　……

　　 After the end of the second stage of "Crazy Three", the final four were officially born.

　　Final Four, which is the final champion of the four major divisions.

　　 They are the University of Florida in the East End, the University of Oregon in the South End, Ohio State University in the West End, and the University of Texas in the Midwest.

　　The semi-final match will be the University of Florida VS University of Oregon; Ohio State University VS Texas University.

　　 Including the finals, this is the third stage of the final of the crazy three.

　　 is different from the second stage in that these three games were all played in different arenas.

　　 At this time, the consideration is not the inconvenience of the team, but the inability to make money.

　　 The level of attention in the third stage is unprecedented.

　　It can be said that the attention of a game in the semifinals is more than that of the NBA finals of the average year.

　　 In the final final, not only the NBA, but the four major sports leagues directly gave way!

　　 Therefore, in this case, holding it in a different city can bring the greatest benefit.

　　 The game between Texas University and Ohio State University was arranged at the Lucas Petroleum Stadium in Polis.

　　 This arena is a newly built arena in 2005, which can accommodate 70,000 people on the court to watch the game, and the ceiling is the most advanced retractable ceiling.

　　 Careful people may notice that the playing field is very close to Ohio State University.

　　 That's right, Ohio and Indiana are adjacent to each other, and the maximum flight time is 2 hours.

　　 This is another detail of the NCAA game arrangement.

　　 After the division, the 1st to 4th seeds in each division have an advantage in the arrangement of the competition venue.

　　 Although it is a neutral city, if Texas fans want to support the University of Texas, they have to span most of North America.

　　 This is a bit like the adventures of cowboy eastern in those western American movies.

　　 Like the first and second stages, there are five days of rest between the second and third stages.

　　 The media began to redouble their publicity. At this time, the attention of basketball fans completely shifted from the NBA to the NCAA.

　　 According to some rumors in the media, many NBA stars will go to the game to watch the game.

　　 On the second day, the University of Texas team also arrived in Polis by plane without stopping.

　　Polis is a city in central America, very close to Chicago, only 240 kilometers.

　　 The climate here is close to that of the southern part of the country, with four distinct seasons, and the summer is sultry.

　　 But it is now in spring, and the climate is still quite pleasant.

　　 Durant was refreshed when he got off the plane from Polis.

　　 Two fierce battles in Denver consumed too much of his energy. Now in Polis, he feels like returning to the ground from space.

　　 "You said Rick will really arrange you to guard against that guy?"

　　 Durant turned his head and said.

　　 That guy naturally refers to his biggest opponent in the draft, Oden who has been blown to the sky.

　　 Lin Ying shook her head.

　　 Shaking his head does not mean negation, but not knowing.

　　 In theory, letting him go to defend Oden’s appointment is equivalent to giving points.

　　Oden is completely different from Hibbert and Hansbrough who have obvious weaknesses inside.

　　 Before playing Kansas, Cowan made Lin Ying a little uncomfortable.

　　 Oden's words can be understood as plusplus Cowan.

　　 But judging from Barnes's past style, he basically made Lin Ying defend against his opponent's inside line, and it was no less than Oden.

　　Especially, Texas University defeated its rival Kansas University with a small lineup. There is no reason to give up the game that was so hard to figure out.

　　 "If Rick did that, I would definitely protest for you."

　　 Durant looked grumbling.

　　 He thinks more than Lin Ying.

　　 After the last game, he couldn't help but glanced at social media.

　　 Almost all above are criticisms of myself.

　　Originally, after playing Kansas, his voice has been equal to Oden.

　　 As a result, he was thrown out of the game by Oden.

　　 Each game of "Crazy Three" may cause huge fluctuations in the player's draft market.

　　 Lin Ying finally made it to the first round relying on his performance. If he was hammered by Oden, he would probably experience the same thing.

　　 Just as Lin Ying wanted to answer something, his cell phone rang.

　　 is a call from Yao Ming.

　　 He said hello to Durant, and then he found a place to answer the phone.

　　 After answering the phone, Yao Ming said a few words and then gave it to another person.

　　 Chuck Hayes, the shortest starting center in NBA history, is affectionately called "Sea Lord" by domestic fans.

　　 His official registered height is 1.98 meters, in fact his height is only about 1.96 meters.

　　 Forget about short, his wingspan is only 2.08 meters.

　　 This physical condition is enough to play shooting guard, but he is playing center.

　　 At his peak, he even played the starting center for a full season.

　　 And this guy's scoring ability is almost zero.

　　 did not shoot, and even shot at the basket because of lack of bounce.

　　 Can you imagine a 1.95 meter player averaging nearly 30 minutes per game and then averaging less than 3 points per game?

　　 Even Rodman and Ben Wallace would not be so miserable!

he made it.

　　 If you only look at his offensive performance, many fans will shout "I can do it, too."

　　 But the reason why he is able to gain a foothold in the NBA and start the NBA depends on defense.

　　 He has full strength in his lower limbs and full defensive skills!

　　 Hayes' most classic famous scene is that he defended Kevin Garnett in the low post.

　　 For three consecutive rounds, Garnett was stunned and couldn't go in at all, and then he missed a .gif.

　　 This is a true low defense master.

　　 Needless to say, this is the "foreign aid" Yao Ming found for Lin Ying.

　　 "I watched Greg Oden's game video yesterday. It is a very good big guy, but you are not completely out of chance."

　　Yao Ming came out in person, Hayes naturally took heart, watched the video overnight, and gave Lin Ying advice as soon as possible.

　　 When the call was over, Lin Ying's understanding of Hayes had also reached a new level.

　　 Hayes' understanding of defense can be said to be the top group, and his defensive IQ is also full!

　　Those "short players" who can play in every position in the NBA are absolutely extraordinary.

　　 After hanging up the phone, Lin Ying returned to Durant.

　　 He was still thinking about how to answer Durant's just now, but after calling Hayes, he already had the answer in his heart.

　　 "Kevin, trust me."

　　 He looked at Durant firmly.

　　 The word "believe" Lin Ying often said, but more often before, Lin Ying said "I believe in you".

　　 But this time, Lin Ying said "trust me".

　　 Durant looked at Lin Ying, only to notice that Lin Ying had "grew taller" a lot.

　　 From the time when Hibbert, who played in the first game of the "Crazy Three", was unable to play, to the last game he used his own strength to carry the team's inside defense.

　　 was originally just a friend who was responsible for delivering cannonballs to him, but now he can be alone!

"I believe you."

　　 Durant said with a smile.

　　 "Don't be stressed, if you defend the zone, give me your back."

　　 He then said firmly with his gaze.

　　 Trust belongs to trust, he wouldn't let Lin Ying face Oden alone.

　　 Lin Ying nodded.

　　 Durant's defense has improved a lot since the beginning of the season.

　　 With Durant's help, he is more confident.

　　……

　　 "Reverse Jordan's Law?"

　　 As soon as she returned to the hotel from the airport, Lin Ying was dragged by Springman to Barnes's room.

　　 And as soon as he sat down, he heard the familiar and unfamiliar word from Springman.

　　Familiarity is because of "Jordan's Law".

　　 is not only because he knows this law before, as a traverser.

　　 Instead, I played UNLV in the previous game, and the opposite side used this rule.

　　 But what is the "Reverse Jordan Law"?

　　 Springman and Lin Ying explained it again, and he quickly understood.

　　 "The Law of Jordan" is to do everything possible to prevent Jordan from scoring, and the "Law of Reverse Jordan" is to do everything possible to prevent Jordan's teammates from scoring!

　　 Jordan here refers to Oden.

　　 The University of Texas is ready to use this defensive method against Oden.

　　 This has to start with the performance of Ohio State University after entering the crazy three.

　　 Oden performed well in the regular season, but after entering the "Crazy Three", he was in deep foul crisis.

　　 This is another reason why Durant was able to level with Oden before.

　　 You need to know that in this era, forwards, especially small forwards, have the lowest probability of becoming the top pick.

　　 The center is a choice that many teams holding the No. 1 pick will make with their eyes closed.

　　 So if Oden isn't pulling his hips by himself, Durant can hardly change his position no matter how good it is.

　　Oden was troubled by the foul crisis. The Ohio State University scored the most by Ron Lewis, who averaged 21.8 points per game!

　　 This can be said to be quite bursting.

　　 What is more interesting is that this man has never been selected by the NBA in history, and has not even played in the NBA.

　　 After these introductions, you can probably guess this style of play: a bit close to Abrams, a good scorer, but poor physical fitness.

　　 In addition, Ohio State also has Mike Conley and Dyquinn Cook.

　　 There is also a very important point that Ohio State University has a strong three-point ability.

　　 Outside Conley, Lewis and Cook all have three-pointers around 40%, and even power forward Harris has 37% accuracy.

　　 Based on this, Springman and Barnes came up with this "reverse Jordan law."

　　 "We know that it will be an unprecedented challenge, and it may even have a bad effect on you, so we must ask for your opinion."

　　 Springman said seriously.

　　Since this tactic is aimed at Oden's players, it can only be a single defense against Oden.

　　 This kind of counterpoint, Lin Ying is very likely to be blown up.

　　 But as long as other people score low, it will be difficult for Ohio State to win the game with Oden’s explosive scoring power.

　　 Actually Springman called this the "Reverse Jordan Law", but it is actually part of the "Jordan Law".

　　Because in the past when the Pistons hit the Bulls, if Jordan feels normal, they will be so defensive.

　　 Lin Ying did not answer immediately.

　　 The arrangement of the coaching staff was a bit beyond his expectation to be honest.

　　 When defending Hibbert before, the University of Texas' response was still his main defense, and then defended 2-3 zone defense.

　　 As a result, Oden, who is now facing stronger, is one-on-one.

　　 "Oden single-handedly beat Noah and Horford and scored a 25+12 large double-double."

　　 This is his memorable news headline.

　　 Although there is a single-handed score in the news, after all, after watching the game, I know that the injury has little effect.

　　 But this also shows that Oden is explosive in scoring in the NCAA.

　　 cut down 40+10 on his head?

　　 One-to-one situation is not impossible.

　　 "Of course the tactics can be flexible~www.NovelMTL.com~ If we find that the situation is not right, we can adjust..."

　　 "I do."

"what?"

　　 Springman hasn't finished saying this.

　　 "I am willing to go one-on-one with Oden and do my best."

　　 Lin Ying said firmly.

　　 Springman was stunned there.

　　 He had prepared a lot of rhetoric, but Lin Ying suddenly replied so simply.

　　 He won't be able to do it anymore!

　　 "That's it. The next few days will focus on training and win the next game. We are the new history of the University of Texas!"

　　 Barnes reacted faster, and the chicken soup was served on the spot one night.

　　……

"Are you crazy?!"

　　 Durant showed an incredible look after hearing what Lin Ying said.

crazy! He thinks Lin Ying must be crazy!

　　 "No, I have to go to Rose, this is too bullying!"

　　 He said he was going out.

　　 But Lin Ying grabbed him at this time.

　　 "Kevin, do you remember the words Coach Rick said? Difficulties and opportunities coexist."

　　 "That's a lie!"

　　 Durant immediately corrected.

　　 It's a pity that he is not a Chinese, otherwise he would definitely say that it is poisonous chicken soup at this time.

　　 "No, I don't think so, do you remember that you said you were going to beat Kobe?"

　　 Lin Ying continued.

　　 Duran nodded characteristically.

　　 Of course he remembers what he said himself.

　　 Just after he nodded, Lin Ying continued his eyes firmly and said:

　　 "If Kobe is the person you want to beat, then the person I want to beat now is Oden."
