Chapter 13 The Path of Evolution(2/2)
A lesson learned, this time his position was obviously not as far forward as before.
Taylor saw the threat from the back three and chose a step-back jumper.
Lin Ying's previous judgment was correct. It was not that his analysis was wrong, but that Taylor chose to attack and defend based on his defense.
And I have to say that Taylor's offensive skills are indeed relatively comprehensive.
It is difficult for an average guard to excel in both sudden shooting skills.
Especially the higher the stage, the stronger the ability required.
Taylor's retreat gave him space to shoot.
But the moment he took action, Lin Ying's interference arrived!
Just like the classic gif in history, Anthony used a beautiful "washing machine spin" to turn around and shake Antetokounmpo away, but the moment he took action, Antetokounmpo was still fooled.
Talent can sometimes make up for the technical gap!
Lin Ying's wingspan is his greatest talent.
Moreover, Lin Ying's analysis of this ball is that Taylor will finish it in the mid-range, so although he is standing behind, his center of gravity is forward.
As a result, the ball not only caused interference, but his fingertips also touched the ball.
This is a block!
Lin Ying's height advantage also came into play immediately.
After the ball was hit, it flew directly upward due to backspin. When it fell, he directly caught the ball.
This one-on-one wave, he defended perfectly!
The cheers at the scene erupted again, and the decibels were even higher!
And before the fans' cheers could stop, Lin Ying had already thrown a long pass, leading Augustin forward.
Iowa State University had no time to retreat.
Augustin rode his horse with a spear, reached the frontcourt, jumped up, and unexpectedly chose...a dunk to finish!
A player who can be rated as a five-star high school student, even if he is a guard, he can dunk!
This dunk made waves and completely detonated the Frank Erwin Center.
"Longhorn! Longhorn!"
The fans shouted in unison, like a war song, with golden drums filling the sky!
The outcome is decided!!
71 to 53.
The University of Texas won its strongest victory since the beginning of the season.
Durant scored 25 points, and more important than his scoring was his offensive efficiency. He made 11 of 15 shots from the field, almost without missing a shot.
Durant performed well, and Lin Ying was equally good.
In the first start of his NCAA career, Lin Ying posted all-around statistics of 11 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks!
Although he failed to complete the "triple-double" he and Durant talked about before the game, as a role player, such a performance is amazing enough!
And compared to statistics, Lin Ying’s biggest help in the game is organization.
The number of assists only reflects one aspect of the organization, and more cannot be reflected in the data.
Only those who have watched the game know how much Lin Ying helped Texas on both offense and defense tonight.
Under his leadership, August had 14 points and 5 assists, and James had 13 points and 4 rebounds.
Both players' performance is above their season average.
After the game, Barnes made a very special move when the players came off the field.
He always patted the shoulders of other team members, but when he was dealing with Lin Ying, he reached out and touched his head.
After Springman saw this action, Springman silently gave Lin Ying a thumbs up.
Others don't know, but he knows very well that this is Barnes' special move.
Generally, he will only do this kind of action when the team members' performance is particularly in line with his requirements.
Aldridge, Gibson, and Tucker all received such treatment last season.
This shows that Lin Ying only needed one game to win the absolute trust of Barnes.
This also makes Springman more optimistic about Lin Ying's prospects.
In the locker room after the game, the University of Texas players were very excited and surrounded Lin Ying, shouting.
The players know better than anyone what is the key to their victory tonight.
And in black culture, this kind of post-game celebration is normal.
Lin Ying was obviously a little uncomfortable with it.
Not to mention cultural differences, his personality is not suitable for this situation.
Fortunately, Springman came to the rescue shortly after.
He called Lin Ying outside alone and said a word to him.
"Come to my room tonight, I have something good to show you."
Lin Ying was stunned for a moment and looked at Springman with doubtful eyes, receiving a confirming look from the latter.
This made him a little confused.
Springman probably wanted to talk to Barnes about something, but he left without saying much.
When he returned to the locker room, he was still a little confused, and he didn't react until Durant patted him.
He has a withdrawn personality and rarely communicates with other people, so he communicates more with mobile phones and other things.
This includes some messy movies.
"What's wrong?"
Durant looked confused. What did Springman say that scared Lin Ying?
"Ross asked me to go to his room at night and said he wanted to show me something."
Lin Ying looked at Durant with pleading eyes.
"This is a good thing!"
Durant said as he habitually bumped Lin Ying's shoulder.
But when he saw Lin Ying's eyes, he nodded.
Girls hold hands when going to the toilet, and boys go to the coach's room together at night. What's the point?
At night, Springman heard a knock on the door and was stunned for a moment when he opened the door and saw two people.
But it was just a little unexpected, and he then greeted them both to the room.
After sitting down, Springman took out a notebook.
"This is a basic handbook of college basketball tactics."
It wasn't until Springman spoke that Lin Ying realized that he might be thinking too much.
"I can see your ability to read the game, but you probably haven't received systematic training in basketball tactics. This will help you."
Whether it was because of Lin Ying's outstanding performance today or because of Barnes' attitude that made Springman have higher expectations for Lin Ying, in short...he was overly talented.
And probably to make Lin Ying believe that it would be helpful to him, he asked Lin Ying a question.
"What do you think is the key to breaking a zone defense?"
A very simple question.
"Three-point shot."
Lin Ying thought for a while and said.
Springman smiled and nodded, but then shook his head.
"Yes, but also no."
These words confused Lin Ying and made Durant scratch his head.
Where is Springman talking about philosophy?
"The best weapon to break the zone defense is the three-point shot, but the key is to form a local pattern of more and less."
What Springman said next was very professional.
In the following period, Lin Ying opened another door to a new world.
