I really play basketball

Chapter 51
When the sky was slightly bright, Lin Xing had already been running around the campus of the Long Beach branch for an hour.

After learning that independent training can also increase attribute values, Lin Xing has worked harder in his daily training.

The purpose of running in the morning every morning is to improve endurance.

The current stamina of 81 points is enough for the current Lin Xing.

If he is further improved, Lin Xing can become a so-called physical monster, like Jordan and Kobe.

And in Lin Xing's view, endurance should be the easiest attribute to improve through independent training.

More than an hour of morning jogging every day is equal to an attempt without any risk.

If he succeeds, he will be able to save a huge amount of attribute points on the road to becoming a physical monster.

If he fails, he has nothing to lose.

Although these words sounded like a common tactic used by scammers, Lin Xing, who had downloaded the anti-fraud APP in his previous life, was sure and affirmed that he did not lie to himself.

During his morning jog, he passed the Pyramid Stadium, the landmark building of the Long Beach campus.

The poster on the outer wall of the arena was finally changed. From the previous single poster of Lin Xing, it was replaced by a poster of the whole team lifting the Big West League championship together.

Lin Xing thought of the night when the 49ers won the Big West Championship, the campus of Long Beach was full of cheers and wolf howls.

On the campus these days, he can always see a bunch of fans wearing the No. 49 jersey of the 1ers.

Of course there were in the past, but it has increased a lot after winning the championship.

"A big Western Conference championship is so excited, what should they do if it is replaced by the Crazy Three Championship?"

Lin Xing shook his head and continued running.

In a week's time, March Madness will begin.

Lin Xing's NCAA career has reached the last stage, which is also the most important stage.

Although the outside world is still discussing, it is very likely that the young Stalin will not participate in the NBA draft this year.

They didn't know that Lin Xing had already made a decision.

No matter where this NCAA season goes, he will participate in the NBA draft at the end of the season.

The reason is simple, the strength of the NCAA is not enough for him.

Just look at the progress of the accumulation of blood points. Half of the season has passed, and the blood points have only accumulated more than 8000 points.

It is less than [-] points away from the [-] points for the next upgrade.

Estimated that halfway through Crazy Three, the remaining less than [-] blood points should be enough.

Calculated in this way, it took almost one NCAA season to upgrade to [-] blood points.

The blood value required for the next upgrade is even further, directly [-] points.

Calculated based on the progress of this upgrade, even if he has played in the NCAA for four years, it is impossible to advance to another level.

Therefore, for Lin Xing, his sophomore, junior, and senior seasons were pure waste of time.

Might as well end the current NCAA career and move on to the next phase of the system...

There is only one reason for him to stay and study for another year of sophomore year——

Crazy Three and the others did not make it to the end, and the 49ers recruited strong support again and officially rushed to the championship.

For that championship, maybe Lin Xing will consider staying for another year.

This is also the reason why Lin Xing, who has finished the regular season and championships of the Atlantic League, did not directly announce his participation in this year's NBA draft.

After another lap around the Pyramid Stadium, Lin Xing entered the training hall of the 49ers.

Before his teammates and coaches came, Lin Xing practiced three-pointers for a while.

The 72 three-pointers he snatched from Bowen have been fully practiced during this period.

But from past experience, attributes only represent capabilities.

If you want to truly play the role of attributes, you still need to combine them with actual combat.

For example, before Lin Xing raised the single defense to 90, he thought he could lock all opponents.

As a result, in the one-on-one match against Tim Hardaway, Tim Hardaway scored three goals in a row. It was not until the fourth that Lin Xing really played the power of 90 single defense.

Including later, when he defended against Nash, he was passed once before he realized——

To deal with opponents like Nash who are thin and have no advantage in speed, he only needs to stick close, and the rest is handed over to a pair of long arms and the super high defensive awareness endowed by 90 single defense.

The reason is that after the attribute is improved, the ability is there, but the experience is still lacking.

And before Lin Xing snatched 83 steals from Byron Russell——

He took his teammates in various special trainings and simulated various environments before he truly mastered the skill of stealing.

The same is true for the three-pointers this time. He has practiced all the three-pointers with 72 points, and the next thing he needs is to simulate actual combat.

There is no need to practice the open three-point catch, because during the period of improving attributes, every three-pointer he made was an open three-pointer.

You don't need to practice the three-pointer under the confrontation. It is a bit difficult to make a three-pointer with 72 points under the confrontation.

What he needs to practice is all kinds of three-pointers after dribbling.

For example, the chasing three-pointer that is often used in counterattacks and fast breaks...

After practicing three-pointers for a while, the teammates also arrived.

Crazy Three is coming, everyone is a little excited and excited, as well as tension that cannot be ignored.

None of the players in this wave of Long Beach had any experience of the Crazy Three, so for them, this trip to the Crazy Three was also the first time for a big girl to get on a sedan chair!
Just yesterday, via live television, the NCAA's selection committee selected 31 participating teams in addition to the 33 conference championship champions.

Moreover, all the 64 participating teams have also been seeded.

Winning 14 games in the preseason, 18 wins and 17 loss in 1 games in the Atlantic League regular season, and 3 games in the championship. They defeated Long Beach, which is recognized as the first-line NCAA team such as Duke, UCLA, University of Arizona, and UNLV, and was assigned to the Southeast Division.

And not surprisingly, the No. [-] seed in the Midwest behind Jamal Mashburn's University of Kentucky.

In the round of 64, their opponent will be the unknown Ball State University.

Among the opponents in the first round, Lin Xing did not see even a familiar name.

Ball State University can enter the crazy three because they are in the weak Chinese American League. They won the league championship and naturally entered the crazy three.

Such an opponent is not difficult...

Of course, Seth Greenberg emphasized again and again: "Don't underestimate the enemy. There are too many upsets in March Madness. Right now, the third seed in 1991, Syracuse University led by Billy Owens, the second seed in the East, was overthrown by the No. 15 seed Richmond University."

"And last year, Michigan, the sixth seed in the Southeast Division, made it all the way to the finals. Of course, this year, Michigan is already the undoubted favorite for the championship."

In fact, Lin Xing also wanted to say that it is really not advisable to underestimate the enemy.

He hopes that the No. 7 seed University of Memphis in the Southeast will not underestimate the enemy and kill the No. 10 seed Tulane University.

In this way, the battle of the top 32 of Crazy Three will stage a battle between the University of Long Beach and the University of Memphis.

"I hope that guy Penny can win some gas..."

Lin Xing's fist was already hardening.

Crazy three games are no longer divided into home and away games. For the sake of fairness, teams from each division will be concentrated in one area.

For example, these seeded teams in the southeastern region, the battle of the top 64 and the battle of the top 32, they will all be concentrated in Orlando, Florida.

Borrow the Amway Center, the home of the Magic, and compete game by game until the Sweet Sixteen, before moving to the next stop.

Lin Xing felt that everything was too coincidental.

"If the top 32 were to play against the University of Memphis, wouldn't it be a competition with Penny in front of the executives of the Magic?"

Historically, the Magic used the lowest probability in history to draw the No. [-] lottery, selected Chris Webber, traded with the Warriors, and got the third-ranked penny and three first-round picks in the future.

Whether or not the future has changed, at least one thing is certain -- Magic executives love Penny.

If the Magic still wins the No. [-] lottery, then if Lin Xing wants to become the No. [-] pick, he has to use this game to change the minds of the Magic executives.

The opportunity is already in front of us.

The only uncertainty is that Penny still has the possibility of breaking the contract.

After all, Western Kentucky University is not a weak team, sitting on the Sun Belt league's top scorer Darnell Mee, not much worse than Memphis University.

……

On the practice day before leaving Long Beach, head coach Seth Greenberg organized a physical exam before the crazy three.

Lin Xing ended the three-point training early and recovered his strength for a while.

Then, set foot on the field of physical examination.

The first item of the physical test is height, weight and wingspan. Assistant coach Wayne Morgan measured it with a ruler and quickly got the result.

"Barefoot height is 202cm, weight is 98kg, and wingspan is 220cm, which is a bit taller than when I joined!"

Listening to this set of data, Lin Xing was not surprised. He is still too young, and his height is of course still growing.

"This time the physical test data will be reported to the NCAA league, so, Stalin, will I report you a six-foot-six like last time?"

In the home games of the Long Beach branch, every time the on-site host yelled that Lin Xing was [-] feet [-] feet tall.

It's not a random guess, but a set of data reported by Lin Xing after the physical test at the beginning of the season.

Lin Xing reported that he was short, in order to make others think that although he was a tall point guard, he was not too tall.

But this time, Lin Xing shook his head: "No, Wayne, give me six feet nine!"

"Six feet nine? Taller? Are you sure?"

"Sure!"

This time, Lin Xing decided to report higher, the reason...

Six feet nine is about 206cm, which is the height of Magic Johnson.

Lin Xing decided to rub a hand with the magician to add fire to this year's draft.

Of course, strictly speaking, it is not a rubbish.

Generally speaking, the reported height will be wearing shoes. Lin Xing’s bare feet are 202cm, and wearing shoes is around 205. Rounding up is 206, no problem!

Then there is the bounce test. Because of the limited measuring equipment, they can only measure the three kinds of touch heights that are relatively easy to obtain-standing touch height, standing touch height and run-up touch height.

Lin Xing's three kinds of height data are of course the top, middle top, after all, height, wingspan and jumping are all there.

"Standing up to 279cm in height, 369cm in place, and 385cm in run-up. This jump is so powerful!"

Then came the speed test. This time, the venue was limited, and they only tested the speed of a three-quarter sprint.

"Three-quarters sprint, 3.08 seconds!"

This speed is not yet extremely fast, and it is also in line with Lin Xing's current performance of three speed attributes of less than 90.

Finally, there's the bench press.

For the standard 84kg bench press, Lin Xing did it 12 times.

Not too little, but certainly not too much.

At least from the performance point of view, this does not look like a strongman's bench press performance.

Is the reason——

Lin Xing's wingspan is too long, which is really not conducive to the performance of the bench press.

Just like Du Kaiwen, a famous American architect in the future, when he participated in the draft, his bench press was an embarrassing 0 times.

Why?Because his wingspan is too long.

"Stanley is just Stanley. From the data of the physical test, it is a matter of course that he can dominate the NCAA."

After the physical test, Lin Xing devoted himself to a new training - rebounding training.

Yes, as a point guard, now he has to practice how to rebound.

This is Seth Greenberg's request. In the second half of the Big West regular season and the Big West Championship, Long Beach has been implementing a special tactical play.

Whenever defending against the next wave of opponents' offenses, center Chris Tavor's first choice is not to grab rebounds, but to turn around and get stuck.

Waiting for Lin Xing to rush to the inside line, he grabbed the backboard that was almost fed to his mouth.

Even so, Lin Xing's rebounds are still not many.

There is no way, his rebounding attributes are right there, even with the help of a sharp front, it is still extremely difficult for him to grab rebounds.

Greenberg was dissatisfied with this, so he asked Lin Xing to start practicing how to rebound correctly.

To be honest, Lin Xing really has no clue about how to effectively rebound rebounds.

Until, Seth Greenberg gave Lin Xing a set of pictures.

A set of pictures of Dennis Rodman grabbing rebounds, Lin Xing only took one look at it, and he understood it in seconds——

"God, I know how to grab a rebound, Seth, if you showed this picture earlier, I would have become a master of rebounding..."

With reference to this group of pictures, Lin Xing continued to practice hard.

If all goes well, he can even become an NCAA triple-double master with a rebounding attribute of less than 50.

……

In Philadelphia, Jim Lynam, general manager of the 76ers, got a set of physical measurement data from the NCAA league.

"The height is 2 meters, the weight is 06kg, and the wingspan is 100 meters. This static talent is invincible!"

Continue to look down——

"Standing height is 281cm, standing height is 373cm, run-up height is 391cm, this bounce, the next Michael Jordan?"

"Three quarters of a sprint, exactly 3 seconds, with this speed, it's no problem to play a point guard!"

"84 kg bench press 18 times, completely insider level bench press..."

At this moment, Jim Lynam opened his mouth so wide that it could almost fit a Lin Xing's fist.

Of course he knows that this physical test data is the data independently reported by the major NCAA teams, and there may be some moisture.

But Linam's intuition told him that the physical measurement data of the Long Beach campus should be water-free.

Because Stalin's various performances in the competition basically confirmed the correctness of this physical test data.

"So far, his physical fitness has become abnormal, and he has recently developed a little open three-pointer, which proves that his offense is still growing..."

"So, is there any reason not to choose him?"

Lynum felt that, if there was, there was only one—

The 76ers draw the No. [-] pick, and they will choose Chris Webber.

Lin Xing also got the reported physical test data.

He glanced at it, blushing a little.

Is there any moisture in this physical measurement data? It is indeed a little bit.

But what Lin Xing can be sure of is that in the next upgrade, all the moisture will be squeezed out.

Therefore, rounding up means that there is no moisture.

(Two in one, ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly pass!!!)
