The first plug-in in basketball

Chapter 21 Wildflowers in Bloom
The Oklahoma City Thunder's training facility, Kevin Durant is practicing three-pointers.

Shua, a hollow into the net.

"Listen, Kevin, if you can maintain such diligence, I believe you will become a superstar." For Durant, Presti has nothing but appreciation.

His actual height has grown to 208 cm after coming to the NBA, but his bone age test shows that his height will continue to grow.

He has the ability to move beyond this height and has a super long wingspan. Although Durant's skeleton determines that he is destined not to be as strong as LeBron James, Durant's bench press results prove that he is not afraid of confrontation.

The most important thing is that Durant practiced very hard, and his mid-range shooting percentage this season was significantly higher than last season.

"But you also need a proper rest. There is a very interesting live broadcast today, watch it?" Presti said after passing the ball to Durant.

Durant wiped his sweat with his collar and nodded.

Presti opened his laptop, and Presti asserted that the rise of live webcasting would overwhelm traditional TV stations because the Internet is so convenient.

"Stephen Curry vs. James Harden, oh yes, and the Chinese center who is called the next you." Presti smiled. If Lin Yi knew that his nickname of Asian Durant had been confirmed, he didn't know what his expression would be.

Stephen Curry again?
The name Durant had heard in college.

That year he was a freshman, and Curry was also a freshman. Both of them were excellent scorers in their respective colleges and leagues, so the two young people seemed to be on the bar. Curry scored 30 points in this game, and Durant would score 31 points in the next game. You come and go.

For Durant, who has just entered the NBA for two years, he has not completely given up on college basketball, so he went to watch the Oklahoma Speed ​​​​and Davidson Wildcats with Westbrook and Jeff Green that day.

Stephen Curry once again impressed him, and Durant loves the way Curry plays.

"Hmm... this Shammgod..." Presti narrowed his eyes, it seemed that the information given by the scouts was not accurate enough.

Presti took out his mobile phone, these damn scouts, I must get more comprehensive information on this Chinese center, his template is not Durant, because his skeleton is visible to the naked eye...

Heck, he's so quick, he even looks better off the dribble than Durant did in college.

And most importantly his height, has he grown taller?It looks like a full 215 centimeters.

Second round front end?Are the reporters of Draft.com blind?
Lin Yi, who was in a bloody battle with James Harden at this time, didn't know that the Thunder had already sent out their own scouts, who would follow up the entire Davidson College game.

In the basketball hall of the Sun Devils, after the timeout, the two sides came and went. The current score has reached 25 to 27, and the Wildcats are slightly behind.

With 5 minutes left in the first half, Lin Yi also started to attack inside.

After the Sun Devil became familiar with Lin Yi's rhythm, the team's rapid defense changes and shrinking made Lin Yi very uncomfortable, and Stephen was also uncomfortable, so Lin Yi changed his mind and attacked inside.

Lin Yi asked for the ball in the low post. He grabbed the basketball with one hand, feinted for a while and caused a defensive foul by the opponent. He will get a "1+1 free throw".

According to the NCAA's free throw rules, if the opponent's fouls have not accumulated more than 10 times, the offensive player will execute "1+1 free throw" when he gets a free throw, that is, the first free throw can be executed before the second free throw.

This is also a major feature of the NCAA.

Even if I make a foul, I won't score easily, Lin Yi wiped his sweat.

For Lin Yi and Stephen Curry, free throws are simply points.

Lin Yi made a "1+1 free throw" and the score became 27-27.

The Sun Devils came back, James Harden made a sudden point, his teammate missed a three-pointer, Lin Yi grabbed a defensive rebound, the Wildcats failed to make a transition, and continued to implement Lin Yi's tactics of low-post singles.

Height is the most precious talent.

McCropp smiled, our Lin can not only play like a small forward or guard, he has absolute height, soft touch and solid footsteps.

Under the basket, Lin Yi turned left, and Grant was fooled again. Lin Yi switched the dribbler to turn right and then used the skyhook to score the ball!

"Well, he's improved again! That's what a big man should do, isn't it, Dale?" Reggie Miller teased.

"It's a very standard skyhook, with a soft touch!" Dell Curry commented.

"Skyhook! And his skyhook movement is simply a reproduction of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar himself." Wu Xiaolei suppressed her inner excitement and wrote it down in a small notebook.

As long as you use a feint to score a goal, it will be regarded as a dream step by default by the system, so after scoring this goal, Lin Yi is one step closer to unlocking the dream step badge.

Now Lin Yi can't wait to upgrade faster, because he needs the skills and awareness of the real five positions (all occupations).

He is now completely relying on his understanding of basketball and his opponent's fear of turning around flexibly to make fake moves. In fact, every time he fights against Lin Yi, it seems a bit difficult.

It's okay to play this kind of team without a real center.

If he met those centers with excellent skills, Lin Yi's inside offense would not be so easy to play.

"It's too much, to use such a game to snatch the attention of the media." In the auditorium, a slender black guy murmured to himself. He was wearing a peaked cap with a very low brim, making it difficult to see his appearance clearly.

"Including yours, DeMar?" Another black guy laughed.

"Hey, I just want to see James. After all, we have a high probability of meeting them in the conference finals." DeMar DeRozan said.

"Listen, man, I think UCLA's Darren Collison is our enemy. Just look at his backup Russell Westbrook's performance in the NBA and you will know." The black guy next to DeRozan said.

DeRozan shook his head, Darren Collison?Of course he knows how many brushes that guy has, but in DeRozan's eyes, this year's Pacific Ten Schools Division, his opponent is only James Harden.

"However, it's a pity for Davidson. Their opponents in the Southern League are Oklahoma City and the prospective champion Blake Griffin. It is impossible for the madmen in March Madness to give such a small league wild card." The black guy continued.

DeRozan watched very intently, he didn't care what the black guy said at all.

The 2009 scouts are said to be out of work after five years.

Because they miscalculated this generation of rookies.

Whether it's Stephen Curry, DeRozan, or Harden, everyone's scouting report has almost become a joke five years later.

This is the age of wildflowers.

They didn't have the bursting talents of the 03 golden generation, nor did they get the attention they deserved like the future, but they have indeed become the generation with the most All-Stars since then.

The Davidson Wildcats and the Sun Devils finished the first half, 32 to 33, with the Sun Devils leading by one point.

Lin Yi had 14 points and 7 rebounds in the half, and Stephen Curry had 15 points and 5 assists in the half. The two together almost scored all the points of the team. The only three points missing were contributed by teammate McMillan.

And James Harden has already scored 20 points in the half.
