"Bah bang bang!"

I don’t know which reporter started it first, but the reporters below all raised their hands and applauded what Durant said.

For an 18-year-old player to say something like this, it was a big shock to them.

At this time, Barnes took out his small notebook again and wrote the words Durant's team's bigotry.

This is something he needs to pay attention to in the days to come.

But Durant looked weird.

I criticize you and you still applaud me?

They are indeed a bunch of boring people.

Durant's questions were pretty much the same, and the meeting went pretty much the same.

Although Lin Ying contributed a tip-in in the previous game against Kansas, he also successfully attracted Barkley's attention.

But it's obvious that the outside world still doesn't pay much attention to him.

In particular, he seems to be more "keep away from strangers" than Durant.

However, Yang Yi was qualified to enter the game this time, asked a few questions to him, and also received material for the next issue of "Basketball Pioneer News".

At the end of the meeting, Lin Ying noticed that a new team had entered.

And the baby-faced figure following the head coach made him stunned for a moment.

Is that Stephen Curry?

Curry and Durant were in the same college class?

Because the two were drafted in different drafts, and they played at the same time in the NBA, he really didn't notice this.

What made Lin Ying even more unexpected was that Durant also cast a look of concern at Curry at this time.

Then Curry smiled and reached out to him in response!

Did they know each other before?

Lin Ying was even more strange at this time.

He and Durant have known each other for so long, but he has never seen Durant mention Curry before.

The meeting ended quickly, they came down to the library and they went up.

But when the two groups of people passed by, Durant didn't say hello or anything.

"I remember that guy."

After leaving the conference room, Durant took the initiative to speak.

"Steph Curry, the kid-like guy who came up behind us."

Perhaps because he was afraid that Lin Ying wouldn't know who he was talking about, Durant added.

When he saw Lin Ying's interested expression, Durant continued talking.

It turns out that the two knew each other back almost eight years ago.

There is a very sensitive topic in the United States called racial discrimination.

Due to historical reasons, the struggle between blacks and whites has lasted for hundreds of years.

Although racism is no longer legally recognized, it is difficult to change the ideas formed over hundreds of years.

Even if the two groups are not directly opposed to each other, they still dislike each other.

Then the story of the two people also happened in this background.

At that time, Durant's elementary school team went to Charlotte to play, and Curry was living in Charlotte with his father, Dell Curry.

They were rivals at the time.

Curry is well-known locally, and Durant asked the coach who was Curry from the beginning.

When he saw Curry for the first time, his first thought was: Oh, he turns out to be a white man without balls.

Because he is white, he naturally has no favorable impressions.

Moreover, at that time, Curry was so thin that he seemed to be knocked down by the wind, and his style of play was always about shooting outside, which Durant even looked down upon.

As a result, Curry scored 35 points in that game and made three-pointers one after another, which suddenly refreshed Durant's understanding.

And after the game, he also learned that Curry is actually a black man, a light-skinned black man that he has never seen before.

Then the two got to know each other.

Although there was no interaction after that, Durant still remembered this very special guy.

When Durant was about to finish speaking, Springman came over.

This meeting will be at the Palestra Arena, home of the Villanova University Wildcats.

He was not qualified to attend the meeting, so he went to the arena for a walk.

Seeing that Durant's face looked much better than when he went in, he guessed that there would be no problem in the meeting.

"I'll take you to see something."

He said slightly mysteriously.

This aroused the curiosity of Durant and Lin Ying, and they both looked at Barnes in unison.

"You go ahead, I'm going to have a cup of coffee."

Barnes had no interest in youth activities.

Anyway, they were not in a hurry to go back for the time being, so Barnes agreed, and the two of them followed Springman and left happily.

Villanova University is part of the Big East Conference and is not in the same league as the University of Texas.

Their school history is better than that of the University of Texas, winning the NCAA championship in 1985, reaching the championship 30 times, and the semi-finals 6 times.

What is special is that when recruiting players, they pay more attention to obedience rather than talent. The result is that although the record is excellent, there are very few NBA players.

It was rare to find one last year, Kyle Lowry.

Then what Springman took them to see was not something related to these school histories, but a photo.

"Why is there a picture of Chamberlain here?"

Durant was also surprised when he saw the photo.

On the wall of the corridor, there is a full-length photo of Chamberlain.

In the photo, Chamberlain spreads his arms and looks domineering.

Before James, the nickname "Emperor" belonged to Chamberlain.

He is 2.16 meters tall and has a wingspan of 2.34 meters!

Not to mention other things, this static physical talent is like a monster in the basketball field.

"I don't know, maybe it's a photo from a previous NCAA game."

Springman guessed casually.

However, this should also be the most likely scenario.

Because photography technology was backward in the past, there were very few images of Chamberlain playing.

With such a special full-length photo, it makes sense to frame it and hang it on the wall.

"Kevin, do you want to take a picture?"

Springman happened to bring a camera and proposed to Durant.

Durant nodded immediately after hearing it.

He walked up to the photo and spread his arms, doing the same thing as Chamberlain.

Durant's current height is 2.08 meters and his wingspan is 2.28 meters.

Although there is a slight difference in height, the difference in height and wingspan is even more terrifying.

Springman found a good angle to take the picture and nodded vigorously.

"I'll develop the photos when I get back."

Springman said and handed the camera to Lin Ying and Durant to see.

When Durant becomes famous in the future, this photo will become very meaningful.

Durant also smiled and nodded after seeing it.

"Ying, you take a picture too."

He then turned to look at Lin Ying.

Lin Ying hesitated and shook his head. This kind of photo didn't suit him.

"Lin, please take a picture too. These are your memories in college. You will want to show them when you enter the NBA."
