This Forward is Not Serious

Chapter 13 The Road to Evolution

Pause back, Texas offense.

Lin Ying once again sent a wonderful pass, but unfortunately Durant missed the shot this time.

No matter how good a shooter is, it is impossible to guarantee a hole in every shot.

Iowa State protected the rebound.

The next round will be very critical.

Because if you can't prevent the opponent's attack, it means that the timeout can't stop the opponent's attack, and even the morale at home will drop to the bottom.

Taylor moved to the right forty-five degrees this time and changed positions, but it was the same tactic.

After tasting the sweetness, they have no reason to take the initiative to change.

After Taylor moved to the left, he gave the power forward a pick-and-roll again. This time Lin Ying and James made decisive substitutions.

The opponent's power forward still cuts in, and the point guard still gives the ball there.

"Snapped!"

But the ball was directly broken by James!

This ball is a great display of personal defensive ability.

Although James played at the second position, he swung past.

With a height of 2.01 meters, he is completely a No. 3 in terms of body shape. Coupled with his excellent physical fitness, he will not be afraid even if he confronts the opponent's power forward.

When the opponent's power forward cuts in, he has already stood in his position, and then he saw the right time to grab and steal, clean and tidy.

And his reaction is also very fast, after the steal, he directly breaks fast.

Before the other players could react, he had already reached the frontcourt with a pull-bar dunk!

Coupled with the alley-oop flat frame in front, this physical fitness, it's no wonder that he can become an NBA first-round pick without shooting!

After James landed, there was a roar, and the Frank Owen center was boiling again.

This wave not only successfully defended but also directly counterattacked the city. The momentum on the field is completely different!

Iowa State University, also playing "whirlwind tactics"!

The experience of the first half told them that with the state of the University of Texas tonight, they have no chance to continue Taylor's one-man show.

On the contrary, this "whirlwind tactic" proposed by Hornacek during the intermission has a miraculous effect.

Tactics are changing, and "whirlwind tactics" are not simply giving the ball to the cutting power forward.

Iowa State quickly showed it on the floor, this time when the point guard passed the ball to Taylor who came out of a second pick-and-roll.

Taylor catches the ball and prepares to shoot.

But at this moment, Lin Ying had already switched defenses.

The other Iowa State University players quickly pulled away after seeing it, and a situation of small players playing big quickly formed on the field.

Taylor was also unambiguous, and with a determined look in his eyes, he began to change directions and shake.

He didn't forget that James and Lin Ying were nailed by two nails at the beginning of the game.

Lin Ying's defense is relatively high.

In his analysis, Taylor's offense is basically concentrated in the middle distance after being robbed in front, so the possibility of Taylor's shot from the outside is much higher than that of breaking through the basket.

But this time, his analysis was wrong.

Taylor didn't choose to shoot!

He changed direction and broke through to squeeze past Lin Ying, accelerated twice and sent the ball into the basket before Lin Ying chased him.

The bench at Iowa State was seething.

Hornacek was also beaming. Of course he knew that if this tactic was used too much, the opponent would switch defenses.

That's why he used Taylor as the pick-and-roll guy.

Because of the misalignment, Taylor still has a lot of confidence in getting the ball to the basket.

Just like this round.

Don't think that Taylor can't beat Lin Ying if he is taken in front of him. If he really opened up the singles, it is difficult for the big players to guard against the small ones.

Lin Ying was also taken aback for a moment.

This should be the first time he has encountered such a situation since traveling for so long.

Before, he had always relied on his ability as a data analyst to make choices, including determining how he played, how to handle the ball on the court, how to deal with the defensive end, etc., and achieved very good results.

But the ball just now, does it mean that's not the case?

No, it's not like that!

Soon, he shook his head.

It wasn't that he made a mistake in his analysis of the ball just now, but that Taylor changed his attacking method.

Because his defense was forward, Taylor chose to drive.

That's how causation should be.

Or to put it another way, analysis isn't as helpful in this one-on-one defense as it is at other times.

Take the organization as an example, the tactical running position is relatively fixed, so it is easy to make predictions.

But this kind of one-on-one, the opponent can defend in real time to change the offensive method. At this time, personal defensive ability is more important than analysis.

Or you can also understand it as: experience.

Taylor has played in the NCAA for three years. This kind of experience in playing small games is much more than Lin Ying, a rookie.

Straightened out, Lin Ying no longer doubted herself.

On the contrary, this made him know some of his current shortcomings.

The ability and experience of big defense and small defense are what he wants to focus on improving.

This is also one of the differences between starting and subs.

If these aspects are not improved, he will definitely be targeted if he plays later in the season.

At that time, he may not be facing a player of Taylor's level, but Chalmers, or even a player like Conley.

Offensive and defensive transitions, Iowa State University's defensive enthusiasm has become significantly higher.

Taylor's goal just now is equivalent to continuing the "whirlwind tactics"!

With this trick, they have the capital to fight the University of Texas tonight!

The continuous tactical cooperation of the University of Texas has no chance. Seeing that the 35-second attack time is less than 10 seconds.

At this moment, Lin Ying signaled Durant to come over, and the two played a little cooperation at the top of the arc.

Lin Ying handed the ball to Durant, and then set up a pick-and-roll on the spot.

Durant showed a tacit understanding. After receiving the ball, he didn't wait for the opponent's reaction, and shot directly from outside the three-point line.

This is the tactic that Lin Ying fought with Augustine before.

The University of Iowa's defensive enthusiasm was high, and the power forward who switched defenses went straight to Durant.

But Durant is not Augustin. After pulling it up, he completely ignored this half-beat-slow interference.

The ball leaves the hand with a high-speed backspin.

"Shua!"

With a crisp sound, the three-pointer hit the net.

49 to 34!

The point difference came to 15 points again!

The cheers from the Frank Irving Center were overwhelming.

Although Taylor's shot against Lin Ying was beautiful, the cooperation between Lin Ying and Durant is even more beautiful!

"Defend! Defend!"

Cheers soon turned to shouts.

After coming back from the second quarter, they have been chased for points. With James' dunk in front and Durant's three-pointer, the fans are on the rise again!

Feng Shui turns.

The next round is very important for Iowa State University!

If they can't score the ball, then according to the current momentum, the University of Texas has a high probability of taking the game away!

Another "whirlwind play," and the ball was in Taylor's hands again.

What happened in the previous round will be repeated in this round.

Lin Ying once again misplaced and faced Taylor.

He has learned a lot from a pitfall, and this time his position is obviously not as far ahead as the one in front.

Taylor sees the back three threat and takes a step-back jumper.

Lin Ying's previous judgment was correct. It wasn't that his analysis was wrong, but that Taylor chose the attack method based on his defense.

And I have to say that Taylor's offensive skills are indeed relatively comprehensive.

It is very difficult for an ordinary defender to excel in both sudden shooting skills.

Especially the higher the stage, the stronger the ability required.

Taylor's step back gave him room to shoot.

But at the moment of his attack, Lin Ying's interference still arrived!

Just like the classic gif in history, Anthony turned around and shook Antetokounmpo with a beautiful "washing machine spin", but Antetokounmpo still took the shot at the moment of his shot.

Talent, sometimes can make up for the technical gap!

Lin Ying's wingspan is his greatest talent.

And this ball, Lin Ying's analysis is that Taylor will use the middle distance to finish, so although he stands back, his center of gravity is forward.

As a result, the ball not only interfered, but also touched the ball with his fingertips.

It's a cap!

Lin Ying's height advantage also played a role.

After the ball was clicked, it flew straight up because of the backspin, and he got the ball directly when it fell.

This wave of one-on-one, he defended it perfectly!

The cheers at the scene exploded again, and the decibels were even higher!

And before the cheers of the fans fell, Lin Ying had already made a long throw pass, leading Augustine forward.

Iowa State University had no time to retreat.

Augustin rode his horse with a long gun, jumped to the frontcourt, and chose... a dunk to finish!

A player who can be rated as a five-star high school student, even a guard can dunk!

This dunk made waves and completely detonated the Frank Irving Center.

"Longhorn! Longhorn!"

The fans shouted in unison, like a battle song, and the golden drums blazed to the sky!

The outcome has been divided! !

71 to 53.

The University of Texas won the most hearty victory since the start of the season.

Durant scored 25 points, and what is more important than scoring is his offensive efficiency. He made 11 of 15 shots and almost missed every shot.

Durant performed well, and Lin Ying was equally good.

In the first game of his NCAA career, Lin Ying surrendered all-around statistics of 11 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks!

Although he failed to complete the "triple double" that he talked to Durant before the game, his performance as a role player is amazing enough!

And compared to statistics, Lin Ying's biggest help in the game is organization.

The number of assists is only a reflection of the organization, and more data cannot reflect it.

Only those who have watched the game know how much Lin Ying has helped Texas on both offense and defense tonight.

Driven by him, August had 14 points and 5 assists, and James had 13 points and 4 rebounds.

Both played above season average.

After the game, Barnes had a very special move when the players came off the field.

He patted the other team members on the shoulder, but only when he was facing Lin Ying did he reach out and pat his head.

After Springman saw this action, Springman silently gave Lin Ying a thumbs up.

Others don't know, but he is very clear that this is Barnes' special action.

Generally, he will only do this kind of action when the performance of the players meets his requirements.

Aldridge, Gibson, and Tucker all had such treatment last season.

This shows that Lin Ying has won the absolute trust of Barnes in just one match.

This also makes Springman more optimistic about Lin Ying's prospects.

In the locker room after the game, the University of Texas players were excited and yelled around Lin Ying.

The players know better than anyone what is the key to their big victory tonight.

And in black culture, this kind of post-game celebration is nothing more than normal.

Lin Ying was obviously not used to it.

Not to mention cultural differences, his character is not suitable for this occasion.

Fortunately, Springman came in to "rescue" in a short while.

He called Lin Ying outside alone, and then said a word to him.

"Come down to my room tonight, I have something nice to show you."

Lin Ying was stunned for a while, then looked at Springman with puzzled eyes, and got the affirmative look from the latter.

This confused him a bit.

Springman probably still had to discuss things with Barnes, so he left without saying much.

When he returned to the locker room, he was still a little dazed, and he didn't react until Durant patted him.

He has a withdrawn personality and rarely communicates with people, so he communicates more with mobile phones.

This includes some crap movies.

"What's wrong?"

Durant looked puzzled, what did Springman say to scare Lin Ying?

"Ross asked me to come to his room at night, saying he was going to show me something."

Lin Ying looked at Durant with pleading eyes.

"This is a good thing!"

As he spoke, Durant habitually bumped Lin Ying's shoulder.

But when he saw Lin Ying's eyes, he nodded accordingly.

Girls go to the bathroom hand in hand, boys go to the coach's room together at night... What's wrong?

At night, Springman heard a knock on the door, and was taken aback when he opened the door and saw two people.

But it was just a little accident, he then greeted both of them to the room.

After sitting down, Springman took out a notebook.

"A basic playbook for college basketball tactics."

It wasn't until Springman spoke that Lin Ying realized that she might be thinking a little too much.

"I can see your ability to read the game, but you probably haven't received systematic training in basketball tactics, which will help you."

Whether it's because of Lin Ying's outstanding performance today, or because of Barnes' attitude that made Springman have higher expectations for Lin Ying, all in all...he is a pity for his talents.

And maybe in order to convince Lin Ying that this was helpful to him, he asked Lin Ying a question.

"What do you think is the key to breaking the zone defense?"

A very simple question.

"Three-pointer."

Lin Ying thought for a while and said.

Springman nodded with a smile, but shook his head again.

"Yes, but also no."

These words confused Lin Ying and made Durant scratch his head.

Where does Springman talk about philosophy?

"The best weapon to break the zone defense is the three-pointer, but the key is to form a partial play."

What Springman said next was very professional.

In the following time, Lin Ying opened another door to a new world.
