The era of point forwards in the NBA

Chapter 162 Lin Yue's Template (asking for a subscription, asking for a monthly pass)
Ballmer walked out of the arena to take a breath and began to think about the future of the team. Even in the 09 class, which is not optimistic, the top players among them can play their own role.

Griffin or Lin Yue, Ballmer believes that the team needs new blood. As for the head coach, Dunleavy is at least obedient. He is currently in a transition period, and the road to reconstruction is a long way to go. At least there is no need to change coaches this season.

Back in the game, PJ Carlesimo didn't have time to do anything. The Clippers didn't make changes, but just rotated five players, which was too foul.

Jeff Green, Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, the current experience cannot be compared with the Clippers' old guns on the court. With a limited lineup, it is unrealistic to win.

At this time, Carlesimo thought of the words of manager Presti, "Winning or losing is not critical, but we must show the competitiveness of the team."

Presti wanted to tell Lin Yue that the team already has the strength to advance to the playoffs or even ahead, what is missing now is a leader, someone who can organize the whole game.

And you, Lin Yue, are the most suitable candidate.

"Stephen, Kevin, it doesn't matter if you lose this game, so you can vote boldly," Carlesimo said.

"But……"

"Nothing to worry about, our goal is a bright future." Carlesimo interrupted.

Back on the court, the Thunder's style of play immediately changed, and both Curry and Durant ended the ball.

"If you play like this, you can't catch them back. Why are Stephen and Kevin taking the shots? Is it just feeding the ball like this to train newcomers?" Seeing this, Lin Yue was indeed a little moved. In fact, he had also thought about the future team.

It's really good to be the boss of a team that is not close. Maybe there will be a period of time that is farther away from the championship or even the playoffs, but he still wants to be teammates with Stephen. Lin Yue can see that Presti is interested in him, and going to the Thunder is also a good result.

But that's all for later, he can't decide the result of the draft.

With the end of the third quarter, the difference between the two teams reached as much as 20 points. The Clippers finally replaced the starter at the end of the third quarter. The game was inexplicable.

"It's time for rubbish, it's unrealistic to recover 20 points in one quarter." Lin Yue thought to himself.

Sure enough, Curry played for a while in the fourth quarter and found that the score could not be recovered, so Carlesimo replaced him.

The current Thunder team is too young, maybe the future is theirs, but now they have to endure the setback of failure.

……

After the game, Curry and Durant found Lin Yue, and the three chatted for a while before parting.

"Lin, I am waiting for you in the NBA, whether it is a teammate or an opponent." Curry said affectionately, then turned and left. After the game, the team still needs to summarize.

"Wait for me." After Lin Yue finished speaking, he embarked on a journey back to Davidson alone.

"Losing is unavoidable. Whether it's Stephen in the NBA or me in the NCAA, just do your best." Lin Yue finally opened his heart, and he will definitely do better this time when he goes back.

For capable players, mentality is more important.

After losing to the Oklahoma Rapids, the Davidson Wildcats ushered in the Southern Conference game. This time they did not give their opponents any chance. Lin Yue played 35 minutes and scored a triple-double of 28 points, 11 assists and 11 rebounds.

"After returning from Oklahoma City, he has matured a lot. He no longer expresses dissatisfaction on his face, but uses actions to change the situation and encourages his teammates with words. It seems that Lin Yue is slowly learning to be a leader." Davidson Wildcats assistant coach said appreciatively.

"Yeah, without Stephen this year, the team's record is definitely not as good as last year, but his performance is very exciting, and the change of status may stimulate his potential." McKillop said the same.

The two felt relieved to see Lin Yue who was still in the arena for shooting training after the game, and not only him, but almost all Davidson players were practicing extra, and they seemed to be influenced by Lin Yue.

Two months later, the Davidson Wildcats had won 10 games in a row recently, and their current record has become 21-8. Although the record is not as good as last season, it exceeded McKillop's prediction before the start of the game.

"In order to successfully advance to the 'Crazy Three' this year, we have to increase the amount of training. Are you willing?" McKillop summoned the players and asked. There is still half a month before the start of the Southern League Championship. Their goal is to qualify for the Crazy Three first.

"It is true that more training is needed. The amount of training has not been enough recently, resulting in the loss of some games that were easy to win." Lin Yue stood up to respond to the coach's call. After becoming the captain, his attention was not only on the individual game state, but also on the team as a whole.

"No, I need to practice more. The amount of training is bigger than last year. I don't have time to go out with my girlfriend at night." Little Fatty Richards said.

However, being stared at by Lin Yue, as a senior, he obediently agreed, "Actually, the training has been a bit easy recently, so you might as well practice more."

"Since you have no objections, let's start training now." McKillop smiled. The atmosphere and cohesion of the team are getting better and better. He doesn't believe in so-called miracles.

Although in the NCAA rankings, the Davidson Wildcats entered the top [-], but it mostly depends on the performance of last year. It is not too much for a national semi-final team to enter the top [-].

The team didn't get nothing this year, because Lin Yue is now ranked third in the predictions given by draft.com and ESPN.

This is already different from the ranking at the start of the competition. The time before the draft is getting shorter and shorter, and the outstanding performances have been revealed, and the top three are basically unshakable.

Lin Yue is currently averaging 27 points, 9.3 assists and 8.7 rebounds per game. Compared with the beginning of the game, Lin Yue's statistics have declined, but the team's record has improved. Compared with the gorgeous statistics, he has now found a way to win the game.

Ever since, there have been many templates for Lin Yue. From this data, the first reaction of the scouts is LeBron James, an all-round performance. James has never been a scorer. Although he has excellent scoring ability, people value him more.

But James and Lin Yue's offensive methods are different. Lin Yue prefers to shoot, while James hits the basket.

When people think of Kobe or Durant, they always stop and shoot. Lin Yue, like Kobe, leans back and has a large mid-range stop, but he is worse than the two in passing, but not as explosive in scoring.

It was finally finalized on the early Celtics leader, Larry Bird. This is the template given by the scouts. It cannot be said to be exactly the same, but the two have many things in common, such as shooting and organization, including slightly poor defense.

People began to look forward to Lin Yue's performance in the NBA.
