This Forward is Not Serious

Chapter 31 Still young!

Durant was so scared that he stood up from his seat.

Although he didn't immediately think of Resident Evil like Lin Ying did, he was still overwhelmed by the increasing number of people gathered in front of him.

And soon he knew what these people were up to.

They're here for autographs!

After receiving the T-shirt and pen from the first person in shock, he still couldn't believe it.

I, already so famous?

Although he usually does not use social media less, but he pays more attention to those female stars!

This is definitely a surprise.

Of course, after realizing it, the fright on his face was completely replaced by a smile.

In order to become the number one player in basketball, apart from strength, fans are also indispensable!

Take two of the most typical examples, Duncan and Kobe.

In terms of dominance, Duncan may be stronger than Kobe, but more than popularity.

Sorry, you thought the 6 billion Komi was just a joke?

After all, basketball is played for people to watch!

He signed autographs for the fans one by one, full of interest.

But the situation gradually got out of control.

Because he only has one pair of hands, but more and more people signed.

Even Lin Ying became the subject of many people's autographs at this time.

In terms of influence in Austin, the Longhorns already have a lot more than the Bulls.

In addition, this year, the University of Texas also defeated Kansas in the regular season, and as the second seed in the league, it is close to the "Crazy Three", which is the peak of popularity.

Even Durant's outstanding talent is unprecedented in the history of the University of Texas, and he has the opportunity to hit the highest draft pick in team history.

He is not popular? No wonder!

As for Lin Ying, his popularity at Iowa State University has already been reflected.

Unique style of play, maverick character.

Another point that cannot be ignored is the impact of Yao Ming's playing in Houston.

The "Song of Yao" shows that Texas fans love Yao Ming, and Lin Ying, who is also a Chinese player, will naturally be favored.

Well, two people with four hands, tired to the point of cramp...

At this time, the warm-up of the players on the court was almost the same.

But the audience is all around one place, they don't know if the game is going to be played or not!

The head coaches on both sides saw it, this is not good!

They are playing, and the fans are asking for autographs... If it gets out, they really don't know where to put it.

Security personnel went up quickly.

Face or something is secondary, so many people are crowded in one place, if there is a stampede, they can't afford the responsibility.

However, the insignificance of the individual in front of the group is quickly reflected.

Not to mention dealing with a few security guards, they couldn't squeeze Durant and the others!

One of the on-site staff was clever, and shouted directly there with a microphone.

It's just that this method... still doesn't work!

This scene is like the uncle and aunt grabbing eggs from the supermarket, they have already rushed out, how could they turn back!

Randy Williams, who stood aside, saw that this was not the way to go, so he squeezed to Durant's side and whispered for a while.

Both Durant and Lin Ying stopped signing.

Then Durant asked everyone to disperse first, saying that he would go to the field to sign them after the midfielder, and he promised to have a share.

This is what persuaded the audience to go back...

When the crowd dispersed, Durant and Lin Ying both let out a long breath, shook their hands, and wiped their sweat.

Now they understand why those stars can't satisfy all the fans' signature requests.

This is really not a job that ordinary people can do, physical work!

"How about we go?"

Randy Williams suggested in a low voice.

Lin Ying nodded.

As for the battle just now, even if they signed the midfielder, they definitely couldn't finish signing.

If the midfielder can't finish signing, then the game is over and you have to sign.

At that time, they wanted to leave again, it was really not a matter of a while.

And the key is that the signature is tired!

They have only signed a few hands, and they are already so sour.

If this is all signed, the third practice at night will definitely not be practiced.

Seeing that Lin Ying also nodded, Williams just wanted to continue talking about ways to get away.

"No, we promised to do it."

Durant said different opinions at this time.

Just like he would say that he would stay with Lin Ying and play for another year, he now attaches great importance to the promise.

Williams would have liked to say a few more words of persuasion.

"Then sign."

Lin Ying also spoke.

It's not like Durant felt that he had to sign if he agreed, but because such a trivial matter broke Durant's principles, the gain outweighed the loss.

Seeing the reactions of the two, Williams sighed helplessly.

Young man!

But since they chose not to sneak away in advance, they also focused on the game.

Here I have to mention the history of NBDL.

In the future, 28 of the 30 teams in the NBA will have their own independent development league teams, which can be said to be quite prosperous.

But now, the league has only been established for more than five years, and there are only 9 teams in total, one of which is new this year.

So you will see that the Bulls are shared by several teams. This is not a special case, but it is almost the same throughout the league.

For example, tonight's opponents of the Bulls, the Idaho Stampede, are also shared by the Trail Blazers, Jazz and Nuggets.

However, unlike the Bulls, the Pentium currently has no players released from the NBA.

Then the game turned into Novak's performance.

He catches the ball from the outside and shoots it, and he makes it when he makes it.

"Cut melons and chop vegetables" is a perfect description.

After halftime, Novak made 4 of 4 shots from outside the three-point line and scored 18 points in the half.

This is just the No. 32 show last year!

Lin Ying now felt that what Williams said in the car was conservative.

At the current level of the Development League, Durant has a high probability of being the top card in the league!

It can only be said that every alliance has a process of development and growth.

The same is true for NBDL.

"Ying, I think you will definitely be selected this year."

At the end of halftime, Durant turned to Lin Ying and said.

In terms of players' personal abilities, most of NBDL's players are better than NCAA's.

But in terms of tactical literacy and execution ability, NCAA can beat NBDL by a street.

The reason why Novak shot so comfortably in the first half was that the opponent's defense couldn't keep up.

Most of the time, with a pick-and-roll on the Bulls side, Novak's shot will come out.

If it weren't for the fact that everyone else on the Bulls side was rushing to attack, scoring seven or eight goals in the half would not be a problem.

Nowak can do this, and Durant thinks Lin Ying can do it too.

And what makes Lin Ying better than Novak is that he not only has three-pointers, but also defends and passes.

Novak was selected with the 32nd pick last year, and Lin Ying entered the first round with ease.

Lin Ying nodded, but said nothing.

Durant said this to make him happy, and of course he would not refute it.

It's just that things won't be as simple as Durant said.

Just like when you abuse food in games, it doesn't mean that the more abused, the stronger the person will be.

Novak can't do other things well except for three-pointers, but his three-pointers don't belong to the NBDL stage.

That's the kind that can be arranged by the head coach to shoot a lore shot at the last moment in the NBA, and it can still be shot!

But this half of the game gave him confidence.

He was worried that he hadn't developed a dribble breakthrough, and his low-post skills were only scratched, which would affect his draft prospects.

But the example of Novak shows that there is room for players with special skills in the current league.

If he can play his own characteristics in the next "Crazy Three", and even play a representative battle of his own, he might have a chance to enter the first round as Durant said!

After halftime, Durant and Lin Ying went to the center of the court to sign autographs as agreed before.

The arena was very considerate at this time and brought them tables and stools.

NBDL midfielders generally don't arrange halftime performances, and this wave of them can be regarded as a change of direction.

Soon, Lin Ying and Durant felt sore hands again.

And some fans asked to take pictures with them.

This job is twice as difficult.

Of course, this is not the most exaggerated. The most exaggerated thing is that some players from the Bulls came to ask them for autographs!

Durant and Lin Ying were shocked when they looked up.

The two looked at each other, and both read a message from each other's eyes:

They really had their heads caught by the door to watch the game!

I kept signing until the beginning of the second half, and less than one-fifth of the signatures were signed.

They go back to the stands, leaving four out of five to wait until after the game to sign.

Now Durant has a mask of pain on his face, this game can't be watched anymore!

Williams looked at his expression and wanted to laugh too.

In fact, the reason why these people are so keen to sign is not entirely because of their love for them.

In addition to liking, there is another key factor: value.

Both Durant and Lin Ying have a chance to play in the NBA.

Especially Durant, who is a second-guess draft prospect, is likely to become an NBA superstar in the future.

If it is not enough image, now you have a jersey autographed by Jordan or Kobe in your hand, how much do you think it is worth collecting? Or how much can it sell for?

After all, Durant and Lin Ying were not the first to start signing!

As the saying goes: the prosperity of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.

Still young!

After watching the game for a few minutes in the second half, and seeing that Durant and Lin Ying didn't pay much attention to the game, Williams once again proposed to leave early.

This time... Durant was the first to nod!

It's not that he didn't want to keep his promise, but if he did, he might lose his life here tonight!

Williams was still experienced, and after explaining to them, he got up and left his seat first.

After a while, Lin Ying also got up and left the seat.

The presence of the two of them is not that strong, and not many fans have noticed.

Finally, when Durant got up, he caught the attention of many fans on the sidelines.

It's just that Durant covered his stomach with his hands in pain as Williams said, and it seemed that his stomach was uncomfortable.

My stomach hurts and I am in a hurry to go to the toilet. You can't have any objections, can you? !

Those fans also looked back one after another after seeing it.

Ever since, the three of them slipped into the aisle three times.

And they didn't leave the main entrance after they went down, and Williams led them directly to the back entrance of the arena.

Thanks to the frequent visits by Williams, he even knew where the back door was.

Otherwise, they would definitely not be able to escape today!

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief until they got into the car.

Williams looked at the two in the rearview mirror and finally couldn't help laughing.

Today's wave of encounters can be regarded as a vivid lesson for them.

If encountering such a situation in the future, Durant probably won't make a promise easily.

People, many times make choices without thinking too much about the consequences.

But you can't regret it, you can only look like you have learned a lot from a fall.

Of course, they came out to watch the game in this wave, and they didn't gain nothing.

Durant has learned lessons, Lin Ying has gained confidence in the draft, and Williams... well, he is just a driver.

But don't tell me, after such a commotion, their hearts also calmed down. They devoted themselves to the training at night, and fell asleep after training.

In this way, this wave is not bad.

...

Upon waking up the next day, Barnes called the team together before class and made an announcement.

At this time, there is only one thing that is worth making Barnes so fanciful.

The grouping of "Crazy Three" is out!

The 65 teams are divided into four regions: East, West, South, and Central and West.

Then each large area is divided into upper and lower halves according to the parity of the seed.

The University of Texas is assigned to the Midwest Division this time, and they are the No. 13 seed.

Similar to what Lin Ying had expected, they were placed in a relatively middle position, which was quite good.

The other two teams in big12 are also in this area.

The University of Kansas is the No. 1 seed and the University of Oklahoma is the No. 17 seed.

The result was a disaster for Oklahoma fans.

Because if they want to enter the top 64, they still have to play a promotion round. If they fail to win, they will be eliminated early.

And then back to the University of Texas.

The No. 13 seed looked okay, but when Barnes finished figuring out the opponents they might face next, the expressions of the players were like this: (Д)

If some people don't understand what a devil's schedule is, then the University of Texas' "Crazy Three" trip is the best interpretation.

The 17 teams in the Midwest Region are:

1. University of Kansas

2. UCLA

3. Georgia Tech University

4. Georgetown University

5. University of North Carolina

...

13. University of Texas

...

Looking at this ranking, that is to say, if there is no upset, the opponents that the University of Texas needs to defeat one after another if it wants to complete the goal of the "elite top eight" set by Barnes are: Georgetown University, the University of North Carolina, and the University of Kansas.

The final results of the NCAA this year in the history of these three teams are: the strongest four, the elite eight, and the elite eight.

If they want to go further and try to enter the final four, then they will most likely face UCLA!

This year, UCLA also entered the final four in history...

If they want to win the championship that Lin Ying and Durant wanted, their next opponents will most likely be the University of Florida and Ohio State University...

"Coach, have you offended someone?"

After Barnes finished speaking, Durant couldn't help but speak.

ps: There is another update at 6 pm.
