Chapter 17: Davidson's Star
"We met again, Lin, how are you, do you like my report?" JaVale Stanford and Lin Yi shook hands.
It's not a glorious thing to say that the Stanford players walked away after the game, 96-45, slaughtered by the Wildcats for a full 51 points.
Stephen Curry scored 27 points and 14 assists in the game, and he has gone further and further on the road to brushing data.
Lin Yi scored 30 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 blocks and 2 steals in the whole game, and he also went further and further on the road of brushing data.
The weaker your opponent is, the more you have to kill him.
Is it possible to wait until the time to fight with Griffin to brush?
Brushing data is a skill, and it is also exquisite. Lin Yi has been discussing with Stephen Curry every night recently how to brush data as efficiently as possible.
Although he is a little dissatisfied with JaVale's description of himself and Curry as the wave brothers, after all JaVale really helped him, Lin Yi is not stupid enough to not give face to the reporters who support him, "Cool report ."
"I saw you used Dream shake at least four times today, are you practicing recently? Listen, I think your inside dominance can be developed a little more, after all, the hit rate of floating outside is unreliable. Yes, the basket is the most accurate area," JaVale Stanford said.
Lin Yi nodded. Recently, he will go to the inside more often, not because of what JaVale said, but because he really needs to learn some center skills.
To put it bluntly, he can get a foothold in the NCAA, relying on his quick movement that does not match his height, excellent coordination, and excellent high dribbling ability and widening three-point shooting ability, but it is more difficult to deal with. The opponent is even in the NBA?
At the end of the NBA, the comparison is who has more arsenals and whose weapons are more incomprehensible, that's all.
This is also the reason why Lin Yi has always believed that players like Westbrook lack scoring weapons. Yes, you heard right, Lin Yi believes that the NBA scoring champion Westbrook lacks scoring weapons.
To put it bluntly, Westbrook's scoring method is to chug, then throw and throw, but even the half-dunk he is proud of actually has a poor actual shooting rate, which is why Westbrook has a higher intensity in the playoffs. The reason it doesn't work.
At the intensity of the playoffs, do you have the energy to suddenly kill me? And once the opponent doesn't give you a burst shot, Westbrook's shot is really about some luck. Back fight? In the future NBA, who will go to the point of defense, small forwards or those shooting guards with excellent defense are taller than you, stronger than you, are you sure you want to play with your back? And Westbrook's back-playing skills are really not top-notch.
Relatively speaking, why is another all-around player LeBron James terrible? Because LeBron James can really be said to be the pinnacle of modern basketball small forwards in the later stages of his career. First of all, he is much taller than Westbrook. He can play all players with his back in a low position, and he can also play against all players face-to-face. Almost everyone defends He's all out of position, and whoever you change to defend, whether it's Xiaoka, Yi Ge, Green or Morris, it can only be said that it depends on whether he is accurate or not.
More importantly, LeBron in the later stages of his career has about 40% of his three-point hits, which makes LeBron James' arsenal sufficient, so he can calmly launch a variety of attacks from various angles.
The reason why Lin Yi's current weapons are sufficient in the NCAA is that the strength of the NCAA is uneven, and the Southern League is already weak.
But being vigilant in times of peace is king.
The way to constantly increase your own score is what a scorer should do. Well, this sentence is also said by Lin Yi's idol Kobe Bryant.
Therefore, the key to Lin Yi's present is to brush out the steps of the big dream as soon as possible.
After a few chats with JaVale, Lin Yi asked JaVale for his phone number. JaVale has been helping him. Naturally, he can also give JaVale more care, such as a deeper interview.
There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests!
"Lin Yi, can I take some more time for you to do a post-match interview?" Wu Xiaolei is not a fool. The content of the pre-match interview seems to be useless now. She needs more interviews with Lin Yi.
"Of course you can." It is very important to enhance your popularity in China. Why do NBA scouts add the sentence at the end of their scouting reports that he is from China, just kidding, that is the most important overseas market for the NBA, Yao Yi Zhan The record-breaking ratings have made Americans understand the most terrifying thing about China, that is, there are so many people!
"Your height suddenly increased by 40 cm, right? How did you adapt to your height?" Wu Xiaolei asked curiously.
Lin Yi suddenly looked at the cute girl in front of her, because she didn't ask herself the questions he thought Chinese reporters would ask.
This is a little girl who knows how to use other questions to ask what she wants, so her level of writing articles will definitely not be bad.
"My better coordination may be related to the fact that I often do yoga. I have also suffered from height troubles, but my teammates are actively helping me, especially Stephen, who often accompanies me one-on-one, I think This is also the reason why my dribbling skills are better than average. Of course, I am also surprised that my speed has not slowed down because of the sudden increase in height, and even I am running 100 meters faster than before.” Lin Yi incidentally I mentioned Curry, although Curry will be a big hit in China in the future, but when I think that Curry will have a child labor contract for some time in the future, forget it, just help this roommate...
Wu Xiaolei nodded, remembering the key points.
"We saw you use the Dream shake in today's game, and you made a couple of 3s, and more of your offense was out of the 3-second zone, and it felt like you were more of a player. A small forward because you are imitating Kevin Durant when you play?" Wu Xiaolei continued to ask, the only model she could think of that would be more suitable for Lin Yi was Durant.
Asian Durant? Shouldn't he really take this depressing nickname for real? Lin Yi didn't want to steal the nickname of the future great devil.
"I've actually been imitating Kobe Bryant. After all, I haven't watched Jordan play live. As for Dream shake, it's to tell the scouts in the United States that I'm not just floating on the perimeter, if I want to. I think I have a hundred ways to score.” I don’t know who to imitate, it’s right to throw the pot to Kobe, the great Kobe Bryant, how many future players shamelessly say that they are Believers of the Black Mamba, ahhh, they are obviously their own iron!
As for the 100 ways to score, it is necessary to brag about yourself properly. Po Wang is still boasting about herself when she sells melons, is she humble? That stuff doesn't work in America.
Wu Xiaolei smiled, this is really not a traditional Chinese big man!
He is calm and calm, he talks and laughs in the face of the media, and he is excellent in English and has a cheerful personality. Maybe his personality is really suitable for an environment like the United States.
Curry and Lin Yi finished the interview almost at the same time. They are now the most watched stars in the entire Davidson College, and they are indispensable wherever they go.
"Hey, listen, Lin, a scout from the New York Knicks just told me secretly that if I enter the draft next year, they will invite me to try out as soon as possible!" Stephen Curry said cheerfully.
Although this kind of private contact with college players and promises is prohibited by the NBA, this kind of behavior has long been an unspoken rule.
"Really? I remember that Golden State's scouts were also very interested in you." Lin Yi didn't forget to pour cold water on Stephen.
"Oh! No! No! No! Impossible, it's impossible to go to the Golden State, it's impossible to go to the Golden State in this life! I'm going to New York, I'm going to Manhattan, I'm going to make big money!" Stephen Curry yelled.
Lin Yi is suddenly looking forward to next year's draft. If history does not change, what will Stephen Curry look like?
