Chapter 39 Another one who wants to rebuild(1/2)
Lin Ri started with a dunk, but kept his head down when he returned to defense.
This is a signal.
In his own opinion, this was just an ordinary buckle!
Obviously he wants to contribute more exciting performances in the coming time.
Jordan Hill apologized repeatedly to his teammates. He was completely fooled by Lin Ri's footsteps in the defense. This guy's two reverse runs and screen cutting ability really surprised Jordan Hill. He
It's rare to see a power forward as flexible as him.
This guy is really awesome!
Budinger got the ball in the backcourt, but he knew who the protagonist was tonight. A lob was given to Jordan Hill in the low post. The latter was not just a physical monster, he also had the rare qualities among the rookies of the same class.
His low-post singles ability is a bonus, and it is also the reason why he is still in the top five of the first round in previous draft predictions even though he is already a junior.
When Jordan Hill got the ball, Lin Ri directly pushed it with his body.
The Sun Devils actually have only two opponents in the Pac-12 Conference this year, one is the famous NCAA team UCLA, and the other is the rival Wildcats they are currently facing in the same state.
If you defeat them, it will basically be easy to advance directly to the national competition.
For Lin Ri, the only real threat to him in the Pac-12 Conference is the Wildcats, and he doesn't even care about UCLA.
UCLA does not have any strong inside players. He ended up playing very easily in the game against UCLA. Even Jrue Holiday's final 6 of 16 shots in that game had a lot to do with him. He let Jrue Holiday.
Dee learned how important it is to be able to shoot the ball.
But the Wildcats were different. Even before the season started, Jordan Hill was already Lin Ri's most concerned opponent. This guy already had NBA-level power. This was what Lin Ri was most afraid of at the time.
.
Especially this guy's physical fitness is not weak either.
If Lin Ri had met this guy at that time, it would be hard to say who would win and who would lose.
Of course, Lin Ri is definitely not afraid now. During the period after the start of the season, his strength has improved again, and he has officially reached the NBA level, with a C level of 123 points, and is about to reach the C+ level.
In his opinion, even if his strength is still not as good as Jordan Hill, it shouldn't be much worse. Jordan Hill only has C+ level strength at best.
No, he took the initiative to have a physical fight with Jordan Hill.
Jordan Hill was holding the ball. He really didn't expect Lin Ri to defend so fiercely. He was originally holding the ball and preparing to make moves to scare Lin Ri. Unexpectedly, Lin Ri came up and hit the ball. He almost didn't catch the ball.
Then he finally regained his footing. In the process, the position he had been stuck in was taken away by Lin Ri, which made his dribbling start to stagger.
"Crack!"
Lin Ri, whose entire center of gravity was unsteady, looked at this situation and struck directly, slapping his ball out from behind.
Jordan Hill's low post play was ruined in this way.
That's it?
Pacers general manager Larry Bird also came to the scene today. He was the only general manager present today to support Jordan Hill.
He is not optimistic about Lin Ri's development, not from the perspective of personal potential development... Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian have fully demonstrated that the bodies of Chinese players are not "wear-resistant", and players who are at risk of frequent injuries will not be able to do so under the current circumstances.
To choose.
Moreover, the Pacers already have ace player Danny Granger. The latter likes to hold the ball, but at the same time does not have the ability to break through and distribute the ball. His style really does not match Lin Ri, so he chose Lin Ri who has almost no independent offensive ability.
, there will be big problems in integrating the latter into the system.
In other words, if he wants to choose Lin Ri, he will most likely have to scrap Danny Granger, the ace player the team has trained for four years. He is 25 years old and averages 25.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1 steal and 1.4 blocks per game this season.
...Larry Bird has no reason to do this. Even if the Pacers' performance this season is not very good and ranks ninth in the Eastern Conference, he can't do this. The risk is too great!
Giving up a player who is going to be an All-Star this year for a rookie?
How could he "force the king" to be such a fool?
He came for Jordan Hill. He heard that this guy had certain low-post footsteps and singles ability, which aroused his interest. If this is true, then he and Danny Granger can completely replicate that year.
The "OK combination" uses two single-point strong hitting abilities to attract defenses, and then he deploys some shooters to float around on the outside, which will definitely lead to a good offense!
But he came excitedly, but the result was that the first time Jordan Hill got the ball in the low post, he was knocked unsteady by Lin Ri, and the second time he lost the ball directly...
If this can mean that he has certain low-post footwork and singles ability, then he even said that his grandma could be a shooter in the NBA!
Larry Bird suddenly felt uninterested. Coming here today was not the right decision.
He was going to leave early, and he had to catch a flight to Oklahoma, where Griffin, the highly anticipated No. 1 pick this year, heard that he also had good low-post singles ability, so he had to go and have a look.
Although this guy's pick is very high and the Pacers probably didn't pick him, what if after reaching the national championship his performance is outperformed by a guy who is in great form, affecting his pick? This is very
Something is possible!
So Larry Bird decided to check it out.
But just as he was about to stand up, he turned his head and glanced at the passage. A low shout from the scene made him look back at the field. Then, just as he was about to stand up, his body stopped as if acupuncture points had been tapped.
James Harden struggled to grab the ball shot by Lin Ri and started a fast break. At this time, Budinger showed his superhuman physical fitness and chased after him. His speed allowed him to easily lie in front of Harden.
.
But after Harden stopped, without any hesitation, he passed the ball toward the free throw line, where the "Chinese beast" ran out and "grabbed" the ball.
But Jordan Hill's sprint speed, which is comparable to that of a small forward, is no joke.
He followed Lin Ri closely, preparing to give Lin Ri a slap in the face.
But what he didn't expect was that Lin Ri jumped up when he was one step ahead of the free throw line and made a move to shoot. Jordan Hill could only jump up desperately and use his hands to cover Lin Ri's face.
But Lin Ri's shot was very fast, or it was more of a throwing motion than a shooting motion.
The ball hit the backboard, and Lin Ri landed on the ground at this moment. Then he took a step forward, jumped up again, hooked the ball that bounced off the backboard with one hand, and pushed it directly into the basket.
At this time, Jordan Hill was just about to jump over after Lin Ri.
Linri used his bullet speed to fool Jordan Hill, who was also physically strong.
This guy is interesting!
The "pussy king" sat back on the chair again.
He suddenly didn’t want to leave!
Lin Ri's goal aroused great interest in him.
With this physical quality and such speed, God is so unfair.
Physical fitness is the biggest pain in Larry Bird's heart.
Seven or eight years later, Aine Yoshihachi spat a very famous trash talk on his teammates in front of the media: "I am not the most talented person on the team. Who is the most talented player? It's Towns. Who
Who is the player most favored by God? It’s Wiggins. Who is the person who plays the hardest? It’s me! I play hard and put my body on the court every day, either in training or in games. This
That’s my passion. That’s how I make you aware of my existence.”
This passage can be said to make the two most talented players in a few years extremely embarrassing.
But in fact, if we really want to say who is the most qualified to say this, it is really not Jimmy Butler’s turn. This should belong to Larry Bird. Like most white people, Larry Bird’s physical fitness is also very poor.
, he couldn't run fast, couldn't jump high and had no explosive power, but he eventually became the best small forward in NBA history.
Until this season, no No. 3 position's achievements could be compared with his.
Of course, Cleveland's "Little Emperor" has shown signs of becoming a historical superstar, and this guy is likely to have an impact on Larry Bird in the future.
But that’s a story for another day. It’s also possible that this guy has entered the finals for 8 consecutive years and finally won 5 runner-up places.
It is also because his own physical fitness is very poor, so Larry Bird understands very well what kind of impact physical fitness will have on a player.
He doesn't want to take advantage of his poor physical fitness, but he has also become a great star, because there will only be one "Larry Bird" in this world!
Of course, the physical fitness that can catch Larry Bird's eye is not something that ordinary beasts can achieve. Take this game as an example, Lin Ri, Jordan Hill and Chase Budinger, one by one, in
His eyes are full of garbage!
Larry Bird, who has fought against so many physical monsters and personally trained a lot of "beasts" after becoming the general manager, has a sharper eye when looking at players. If these three "beasts" enter the NBA
, in fact, his physical fitness is only above average! There is still a big gap between him and real "monsters" like LeBron James and Dwyane Wade.
This is also the reason why Larry Bird is unwilling to sacrifice Danny Granger. But if there is another historical physical monster like Shaquille O'Neal in this draft, then... Danny Granger? Me
Is there such a number one person on the team?
So, in the final analysis, although the physical fitness of these three guys is good, they are not good enough to catch Larry Bird's eyes.
But after Lin Ri's ball, Larry Bird was immediately interested in him. Lin Ri's physical fitness, coupled with his amazing bounce speed, and the fact that this guy was just 19 years old...
This guy's physical fitness is very likely to reach the level of a real monster in the NBA!
How could Larry Bird, who comes from the Boston Celtics, the "base camp of human beings", let such a guy go?
Larry Bird squinted at Lin Ri on the court. His eyes could not be separated from this guy. Lin Ri was double-teamed by the Wildcats after scoring consecutive goals. James Harden chose him for this shot.
When I took the shot, the ball path was slightly shorter, hit the front edge of the basket, and fell out.
"Crack!"
"Boom!"
