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

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

And he soon knew what these people were going to do.

They are here for autographs!

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

Am I already so famous?

Although he usually uses social media a lot, he pays more attention to those female celebrities!

This time it was definitely an accident.

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

If you want to be the number one player in basketball, in addition to being strong, fans are also indispensable!

To give two of the most typical examples, Duncan and Kobe.

In terms of dominance, Duncan may be better than Kobe, but it is more popular than him.

Sorry, do you think the 6 billion Comet is a joke?

After all, basketball is played for people to watch!

He signed autographs for the fans one by one with great interest.

However, the situation gradually got out of control.

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

Even Lin Ying has become the signature target of many people at this time.

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

In addition, the University of Texas also defeated Kansas in the regular season this year and was close to the "crazy third" as the second seed in the league. This 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 be the highest draft pick in team history.

It’s strange that he’s not popular!

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

A unique style of play and a maverick character.

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

That "Song of Yao" shows Texas fans' love for Yao Ming. Lin Ying, who is also a Chinese player, will naturally be favored.

Well, two people and four hands are so tired that their hands cramp...

At this time, the players on the court are almost in the process of warming up.

But the audience was all gathered in one place, and they didn't know whether the game would continue or not!

The head coaches on both sides looked at it and thought, this is not okay!

They were playing ball, and others were asking for autographs... If word got out about this, they really wouldn't know where to put their face.

Security personnel came up quickly.

Face is secondary. With so many people crowded in one place, they can't bear the responsibility if there is a stampede.

However, the insignificance of an individual in front of the group quickly becomes apparent.

Not to mention a few security guards, they couldn't even squeeze in to get in front of Durant and the others!

There was a staff member on site who was smart and took the microphone and shouted directly there.

But this method... still doesn't work!

This scene is like the uncle and aunt grabbing eggs in the supermarket. They have already rushed out, how can they possibly turn back!

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

Durant and Lin Ying both stopped signing autographs.

Then Durant asked everyone to disperse first and said he would come back to the venue in midfield to sign autographs for them, and he would guarantee everyone would have a share.

This time the audience was persuaded to go back...

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

Now they understand why those stars couldn't satisfy all fans' autograph 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.

In the battle just now, even if they signed midfield, they would definitely not be able to finish all the signings.

If you can't finish signing at midfield, you will have to sign at the end of the game.

If they wanted to leave at that time, it would really not be a matter of time.

And the key is that signing is tiring!

They had only signed a few contracts and already their hands were so sore.

If this is all signed, I will definitely not be able to practice the third practice in the evening.

Seeing Lin Ying nodding, Williams was about to continue talking about ways to escape.

"No, we have to fulfill our promise."

Durant expressed a different opinion at this time.

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

Williams originally wanted to give him a few more words of advice.

"Then sign."

Lin Ying also spoke.

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

Seeing the two people's reactions, Williams sighed helplessly.

Young people!

But since they chose not to leave early, they focused on the game.

Here I have to mention the history of the NBA Development League.

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

But now, this 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 across the league.

For example, the Bulls' opponent tonight, the Idaho Stampede, is also shared by the Trail Blazers, Jazz and Nuggets.

However, unlike the Bulls, the Pentium team currently does not have players transferred from the NBA.

Then the game became Novak's performance.

When he catches the ball from outside, he shoots, and when he shoots, he scores.

"Chopping melons and vegetables" is a perfect description.

At the end of the half, Novak made 4 of 4 shots from beyond the three-point line and scored 18 points in the half.

This is just last year’s No. 32 show!

Lin Ying now feels that what Williams said in the car was an understatement.

At the current level of the Development League, Durant will most likely be the league's top player once he comes!

It can only be said that every alliance has its own development and growth process.

The same goes for NBDL.

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

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

In terms of individual players' abilities, most of the players in the NBDL are better than those in the NCAA.

But in terms of tactical literacy and execution ability, the NCAA can lag behind the NBDL.

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

Most of the time, when the Bulls set a pick-and-roll, Novak's shooting opportunity comes out.

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

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

Moreover, Lin Ying is better than Novak in that he not only has three-pointers, but also defense and passing.
To be continued...
