I really play basketball

Chapter 70 Badge: The King of Confrontation

On the other side of the ocean, in the capital, the basketball department office of "Flower Sports News".

Su Qun turned on his computer and received an email from the United States not long ago.

The title of the email contained keywords such as "NBA", "Draft Conference", and he opened it while shaking his head:
"The draft, it seems that there is nothing to report on the draft..."

The main reason is that domestic attention to the NCAA is not enough. The NCAA stars who were selected in the draft, at most, they know their names in China, but they don't know the information.

Just like last year, they knew that the NCAA had a behemoth named Shaquille O'Neal;

I also know a Christian Laettner, because Laettner went to the Olympics with the Dream Team.

Beyond that, they know nothing.

This year, they just know that the NCAA has a few young people who beat the Dream Team in a training match.

Like Grant Hill, Chris Webber, Jamal Mashburn, Bobby Hurley, Penny Hardaway, etc.

Su Qun is a domestic reporter who knows this group of people well. He has visited foreign websites, probably collected some information about Grant Hill and Penny Hardaway, and has written two articles related to Hill and Weber.

However, it was already more than half a year ago.

More than half a year has passed, Su Qun still only knows——

"Hill said that he will finish four years of college before going to the NBA, so he should not be included in this year's draft;

But Weber, with his momentum at that time, it is hard to justify him not being the number one pick in this year's draft. "

result……

"Wei Bo is not the champion, the champion is..."

He stared at a group of "Lin Xing" in English, but couldn't react for a while.

Read to each other: "Carrying heart...Ling Xing...Lin Xing?"

"Isn't he a flower grower?"

He raised his eyebrows, thinking that it was almost the same, how could a foreigner have such a name.

But the problem is-

"Except for Ma Jian, I haven't heard of anyone who has gone to the United States to play, and I have never heard of the name Lin Xing."

He sniffed his nose and smelled something unusual.

Immediately got up and went to find the editor-in-chief of the basketball department.

Soon, the editor-in-chief, who also thought that this matter was unusual, specially approved a sum of money for Su Qun to visit the United States.

……

In the United States, Lin Xing, who has settled down in the Bay Area, is ready to start his new season.

The main reason is that as a rookie, he must play in the summer league.

For blood value, Lin Xing has no plans to paddle.

Although the intensity of the summer league is not high, the confrontation is not fierce, and the blood value is certainly not much.

But no matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat, and if the blood value is low, it will add up to more.

By the way, Lin Xing also wants to try how fast the blood value of the NBA can rise.

Before heading to the training hall to assemble, Lin Xing first received the rewards for the draft task.

[Main task: Become the No. 1993 pick in the [-] NBA draft, system reward: The host can choose one of the four badges given by the system. (completed)】

There is an additional button to receive rewards at the end of the task, Lin Xing pressed it directly, and then a new dialog box popped up.

[Choose one of the following four options:]

[[-]. Ankle Terminator, when the opponent is shaken away by a feint, the chance of the opponent being shaken is increased. (Related attributes: ball control, breakthrough, mid-range or three-pointers, passing.)]

[[-]. Mr. Great Basic Skills, improve the stability of the basic attributes of the host. (No related attributes.)]

[[-]. Mid-range sharpshooter, improve the host's anti-interference ability when shooting mid-range shots. (Related attributes: CIC.)]

[Fourth, the king of confrontation, increase the host's success rate of layups and dunks when encountering confrontation. (Related attributes: strength, layup or dunk.)]

[Note: The attributes connected with "or" meet one of the badges to play a role. 】

Lin Xing was dazzled by the four choices.

But he quickly concluded——

"The ankle terminator is a bit like an upgraded version of the first step master. The first step master is to pass others, and the ankle terminator is to kill others directly, but..."

For Lin Xing now, a master of the first step is enough.

He shook his head and ruled out the first option first.

"Mr. Great Basic Skills, improve the stability of various basic attributes. This means that the basic skills are very good, so you can play stably in every game and never pull your hips?"

Lin Xing roughly guessed, and the second item was included in the optional range.

Reducing the probability of pulling hips is still somewhat effective for Lin Xing, who is currently a fresh move.

"A mid-range sharpshooter, just snap to death."

Now Lin Xing has nothing to do with the word Sagittarius. Choosing this is equivalent to choosing air.

"The king of confrontation, increase the success rate of layups and dunks in confrontation, this badge is tailor-made!"

Moreover, Lin Xing's strength and dunks have reached 80. After exchanging this badge, he can directly play the role of the third-level badge.

So, Lin Xing glanced at Mr. Great Basic Skills again, hesitated for a second, and chose the king of confrontation.

The main reason is that Mr. Big Basic Skills is too comprehensive, and it is doomed that the bonus it gets for each attribute will not be too high.

On the contrary, if you simply add the king of confrontation who only fights against layups or dunks, the bonus will be a little more.

Lin Xing is a fresh move, the best choice is to upgrade his fresh move to the extreme.

And the king of confrontation is still very useful to Lin Xing now.

He thought of the four major centers in the NBA, as well as the real top big men such as Alonzo Mourning and Dikembe Mutombo who are not among the four major centers.

To be honest, he is a bit hypocritical.

Although he dominated the NCAA, but this year's NCAA, there is no big man of this level.

In other words, his style of play has not yet withstood the test of the above level.

It couldn't be more appropriate to give him a king of confrontation at this time.

[Congratulations to the host, get the badge: King of Confrontation! 】

After receiving the reward, directly assemble it into the attribute bar.

Then, the system popped up another task——

[Main task: In the first season, the host's first NBA season will be an extremely important start for the host. The system will comprehensively consider the host's play and performance throughout the season, make judgments, and give corresponding rewards. 】

A main mission that runs through the regular season and playoffs and may even include summer league and preseason, with unknown rewards.

Lin Xing scratched his head and left it alone.

Anyway, this task does not conflict with his rookie season.

……

Generally speaking, the leader of the summer league will be the team's chief assistant coach.

But the coach Lin Xing met in the training hall was not Popovich.

He asked a mouthful to know that Popovich had left.

He accepted the invitation of the Spurs owner and returned to the Spurs as the general manager.

Leading the summer league team is the Warriors' new chief assistant Bob Lanier.

"Hello, Zhuangyuanlang, finally waiting for you."

Lanier stretched out his right hand towards Lin Xing, Lin Xing smiled and stretched out his right hand too.

"I kept you waiting, coach champion."

"It seems that you did your homework before you came..."

"That's what a professional player should do."

Lanier smiled, he felt the respect from Lin Xing.

Ordinary young players don't know much about Bob Lanier, who was in the NBA in the 70s, let alone know that Lanier was the No. 1970 pick in the [-] NBA draft.

Lin Xing knew this, but what is this respect?
"Come on, young man, we're going to work."

Lin Xing stood in the queue, and he saw his teammates in the summer league.

Unlike Bob Lanier, his teammates are basically strangers.

The only one he has a little impression of is this year's undrafted rookie, Dell Demps, who had a fight in the NCAA.

When the two met, they nodded and greeted each other.

The difference was that when Dempsey nodded, he had a flattering smile on his face.

The first rookie sneaker contract in history, the first rookie contract in history, everyone knows Lin Xing's status is very high.

For these fringe players whose future is uncertain in the Summer League, if they can curry favor with Lin Xing, they have a good chance of staying.

Although competitive sports, strength speaks for itself.

But if the strength is similar, it is the supremacy of human feelings.

Bob Lanier gathered all the players, said a few words, and then let the players move freely.

Free activities, Dempsey came directly to the door.

"Ahaha, Si Da, I didn't expect that we would still be teammates one day!"

"Yeah, I didn't expect..."

Dempsey's opening method was awkward, and Lin Xing could only say something perfunctory.

But Dempsey didn't stop, he continued to surround Lin Xing, picked up a basketball, handed it to Lin Xing, and said:

"Don't worry, Star, if we play together, I'll pass the ball to you, even though I'm not a pass-first point guard..."

As soon as these words came out, Lin Xing raised his eyebrows and threw out a question mark: You, pass the ball to me?Give me a break!

If you want to pass the ball to me, you have to get the ball first!
Lin Xing shook his head, threw a non-stick three-pointer, and faced Dempsey.

"Then I'll thank you for passing the ball... um..."

After thinking for a long time, Lin Xing couldn't remember Dempsey's name.

He could only blushed and asked awkwardly, "Sorry, can you tell me your name first?"

This question made Dempsey dumbfounded.

Co-author, you nodded to me as soon as you came in, and after the coach left, you said something polite, but you didn't even know my name?
Lin Xing really didn't know, he didn't know that Dale Demps was called Dale Demps.

He didn't even know that this Demps later became the general manager of the Hornets (Pelicans), but he was at the crouching dragon and phoenix level.

Therefore, Dempsey could only introduce himself embarrassingly.

After introducing himself, Lin Xing ordered him: "Okay Dell, next, your task is to keep your mouth shut and pass the ball to me without saying a word."

So, Dempsey was quiet and quietly passed the ball to Lin Xing.

Lin Xing practiced shooting one ball after another.

Although at this time, the two words Lin Xinghe and shooting are also on the edge of three-pointers.

But he can still clearly understand the importance of shooting. There is a good saying——

Chefs don't read recipes, generals don't learn the art of war, singers don't hang their voices, guards don't practice shooting, they're all weird!

Lin Xing didn't want to be a weirdo, and when the system was still unreliable, he could only rely on himself.

No, it depends on Dempsey's pass.

In the game, Dempsey had no chance to pass the ball to Lin Xing.

But in training, there are many opportunities.

……

Time flies, and soon it will be the opening day of the Summer League.

The summer league that the Warriors participate in is the Southern California Summer League held in Long Beach.

Therefore, in the first game of the Summer League, the Warriors vs. the Lakers, it was obvious that apart from Calbert Cheney and Nick Van Exel, there were no other rookies worthy of attention.

As a result, the 5000-capacity Long Beach Pyramid was full for the first time since the Southern California Summer League began.

As for why it was full?
Needless to say?Two words - Lin Xing!
Bob Pettit completely conquered Baton Rouge by leading Baton Rouge High School to its first state championship in more than 20 years and by being invincible at Louisiana State.

And now, leading the Long Beach branch to the first NCAA championship in school history, Lin Xing has also completely conquered Long Beach.

It is worth mentioning that the Southern California Summer League is not sponsored by the NBA, and there are other bosses behind it.

At this time, the boss who hosted the event was in the stands, watching the Pyramid Stadium full, his face cracked with laughter.

Soon, the game began.

At the beginning of the game, Lin Xing jumped the ball himself and defeated the opponent's seven-foot big center Daniel Schayes amidst the cheers of the audience.

Then, a pass from Dell Demps was received.

Lin Xing hesitated for a moment, and really received a pass from Dempsey.

But he promised that Demps would never have another chance to pass the ball to him.

In the frontcourt, Lin Xing faced Calbert Cheney's defense.

Although Calbert Cheney is also a lottery rookie, although this guy also led the team to the NCAA Elite Eight...

Lin Xing and him are still not on the same level.

Without dribbling the ball twice, Lin Xing made a direct breakthrough with one hand, crushed Cheney, and rushed in directly.

Why no more bang bang dribbles?

To put it simply, Lin Xing wanted to reduce the number of times he changed directions. After all, changing directions too quickly would still hurt his knees.

On the contrary, it was a straightforward breakthrough, and the damage to the body was not that great.

Therefore, when encountering a weaker opponent, Lin Xing will try his best to use a straight breakthrough to kill the opponent.

Like this game, against Calbert Cheney, he's not going to give it his all.

While not going all out, Cheney was passed over.

The Lakers' weak inside line couldn't withstand Lin Xing's impact, and there was a bang!
Lin Xing dunked one of Xia Lian's first goals.

Next, he continued to kill Calbert Cheney who was facing him.

Soon, he felt that the strength of the Summer League was not much stronger than the NCAA!
Soon, Lin Xing dominated the arena, and the fans in the Pyramid Stadium were there for him.

Now there are all kinds of crazy cheers, and the voice is almost hoarse.

Under the cheers of the "home" fans, Lin Xing didn't hold back. In half the game, he directly abused the Lakers by a 23-point gap.

In the commentary seat, it was the first time for Matt Gudica to comment on Lin Xing's game. He watched him hit the basket again and again, and dunk easily again and again.

In the first half of the game, Lin Xing scored 17 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals.

He was stunned: "Why did Stalin appear in the summer league? Why did he come to play such a game? Does this level of competition require his presence?"

After three consecutive question marks, under the leadership of Lin Xing, the Warriors won the first victory of the Summer League.

Oakland, old Nelson turned off the TV.

With him at the moment, there are Nelson Jr., the team's offensive assistant Sydney Moncrieff and video analyst Mike Budenholzer.

"An uninteresting game, but at least it proved a little bit—"

"Sida is definitely not a parallel importer!"

"Then now, we have to think about how to use Stadia?"

Old Nelson cast his eyes on Moncrief, and the young assistant coach coughed: "It's very simple, give him the ball."

"?"

It wasn't Nelson Sr. who threw out a question mark, but Mike Budenholzer.

Give him the ball?It's that simple?Other than that it's gone?
Mike Budenholzer felt that Moncrieff's answer was too outrageous, so he still attacked the assistant coach?It's a mix of wages.

But in the next second, Old Nelson nodded, and his eyes fell out of shock.

"Give him the ball, good..."

good?Not a bad der!
Mike Budenholzer's eyes widened. He suddenly regretted not accepting Popovich's invitation.

Just this head coach, just this offensive assistant, what can he learn?
It's better to go to the Spurs, get promoted to another level, and get more salary.

But at this time, old Nelson looked at him, and Budenholzer decided to show off his tactical understanding.

"I think it's not enough to just give the ball to Starbucks, we also need to give him a few pick-and-roll tactics to help him open up space..."

As Budenholzer spoke, Old Nelson shook his head.

"It's too complicated, Mike, we need to make it simpler."

"Like Sydney said, we just need to give the ball to Star, and then, adjust the positioning of other players..."

Hearing old Nelson's point of view, Budenholzer's heart turned cold.

If it's really as simple as old Nelson said, can the Warriors' offense be good?

Without a little bit of offensive routines, can the Warriors' offense be good?

Without a systematic offensive play, can the Warriors' offense be good?
He really wanted to ask these words out, but the old Nelson didn't give him this opportunity. In a few words, the mad scientist has determined the Warriors' style of play in the new season.

Simple, hand the ball to Lin Xing, and the others follow suit, without any other special arrangements.

Mike Budenholzer shook his head, already thinking about leaving.

……

Xialian is still going on, and Lin Xing is still killing people.

In the next game, they continued to beat opponents such as the Jazz, Kings, and Clippers.

一场又一场20分以上的大胜，每场比赛，林星也能够掠下30+5+10+3的豪华数据。

Matt Gutica repeated a question with emotion over and over again——

"Sta is like a prehistoric mammoth monster, with a huge body, strong body, rough skin and thick flesh, and unstoppable!"

"It's time for all opponents to ask, why put a mammoth on the summer league field?"

"Isn't this looking for defeat???"
