Chapter 50 Lin Li pulls the mountain and looks unrivaled!(1/3)
"That would be interesting!"
Yang Yi raised his golden eyes as he spoke, unable to conceal his excitement.
Height in the NBA is very confusing.
Because there are three situations: barefoot height, shoe height, and self-reported height.
Moreover, the NBA has not deliberately regulated this area.
Before giving an example, we need to popularize a piece of knowledge: height in the United States is measured in inches, so there is often something like 6 feet and 7 inches.
1 foot is 0.3048 meters and 1 inch is 2.54 centimeters.
Then give some more famous examples.
The first is Durant.
His barefoot height is 6 feet 10 inches, which is about 2 meters 08.
Because the NBA has a rough height range for each position, according to this height, even if he is reported as barefoot height, he will have to play power forward.
So in order to be able to play small forward, he deliberately reported a smaller size, which is 6 feet 9 inches, which is about 2 meters 06 when converted.
Then the other height will naturally be known.
Generally, the height of shoes is about 1 inch, which means the height of wearing shoes is 2 meters 10 to 2 meters 11.
The second one is Lillard.
Lillard's situation is exactly the opposite of Durant's.
His barefoot height is 6 feet 1 inch, which is about 1.85 meters, and his height with shoes is 1.88 meters.
This height is enough to play as a defender, but in order to make himself look taller, he deliberately went up one size, which is 6 feet 2 inches.
Then after he puts on his shoes, he is 1.91 meters tall that fans are familiar with.
There are many similar examples, but most of them are reported higher like Lillard.
Iverson and Howard are also classic examples.
This is also what Yang Yi would say is interesting.
If Lin Ying is currently about 2.03 meters tall barefoot, then with shoes he and Hansbrough are about 2.06 meters tall.
If you feel it’s not enough, you can go higher and quote 2.09 to 2.10 meters!
This height is already higher than the average height of an NBA power forward, and he can even play as a center!
Even if he lets some wind out, Lin Ying's draft pick prediction will also rise sharply!
Yang Yi felt as if a girl was looking at him at this moment. He had already thought of the name of the child!
The competition on the field is still going on, and it has also entered a fever pitch.
Wright repeated his old trick, but Wendell used his experience to get into position and defend the ball.
The University of Texas advanced to the frontcourt, and Lin Ying continued to drop low.
At this time, Hansbrough began to defend sideways, restricting Lin Ying from catching the ball.
After Lin Ying scored 4 points in a row on his head, he began to pay attention to Lin Ying's low-post offense.
Durant looked at the bad pass, turned around and gave the ball to Augustin, and the two launched a wave of corner attacks.
Augustin used Durant's screen to walk to the basket.
However, Wright behind him kept covering him with his long arms, not giving him a chance to throw.
With Hansbrough under the basket again, Augustin knew that his shot was difficult to hit, so he passed the ball to Lin Ying during the breakthrough, and then took Wright away from the baseline.
After going around in a circle, the ball finally reached Lin Ying's hand.
Hansbrough was on the defensive sideways at this time.
His purpose for doing this was very clear, which was to force Lin Ying to turn around and walk towards the basket.
The closer he is to the basket, the greater his defensive confidence.
However, Lin Ying saw through this defensive method, so he didn't go to the basket at all, but just... turned around and hooked!
Although it is impossible to ignore the defense like Yao Ming because of his height, his long arms allow him to shoot from a high point.
Hansbrough tried to build it but couldn't.
"Whoosh!"
Lin Ying showed off the results of his training, the ball rubbed against the basket and slid steadily into the net bag!
"Whoa whoa!"
This time Barkley did not hold his head but exclaimed.
And the next second he immediately showed his "flexible and flexible" character.
"Kenny, he can play in the NBA!"
In a TNT program before, he said that Lin Ying could not play in the NBA. Now he slaps himself in the face and says that Lin Ying can!
This is very Barkley.
However, his actions were not without reason.
When he analyzed that Lin Ying could not play in the NBA, one point was that Lin Ying's offensive methods were single and he did not have low-post offensive skills as an inside lineman.
Now, Lin Ying used two different offensive techniques in two consecutive rounds.
Footsteps and small hooks are all essential skills in the low post.
Lin Ying has them all, and they are all pretty good!
Some are happy, some are worried, some are surprised and some are confused!
The most confused person is naturally Roy Williams.
The University of Texas has such a style of play, but they didn’t use it in the first half?
No, it’s not used in previous games?
This is really hard to understand.
Moreover, North Carolina's offensive attack in the frontcourt was interrupted!
Durant's long arm directly knocked the ball out of Wright's hand!
In these rounds, he has been standing on the outside watching the show. Since he does not have to use up energy on the offensive end, he can invest more in the defensive end!
It's just that this time the field was not small, and the University of Texas' fast break failed.
In the frontcourt, Lin Ying continued to catch the ball in the low post and play position.
At this time, North Carolina's weak side began to help defend.
Don't worry about whether Lin Ying was low in the past or not, just tonight he will be and he will be a huge threat.
Lin Ying felt comfortable with this help in defense.
His style of play is not originally a shooting style. Just like he was able to shoot three-pointers before, attracting the defense and passing the ball is his biggest threat.
The moment before he turned around and was flanked, he quickly passed the ball to Williams in the bottom corner.
This is an excellent opening opportunity.
He adjusted and shot a three-pointer.
"Whoosh!"
The basketball passes through the net.
47 flat!
Texas tied the score again!
A short whistle sounded on the sidelines, and both sides began to replace their main players on the court one after another.
Lawson and Wright played a pick-and-roll in the frontcourt and made another beautiful pass.
Wright scored twice and once again cut the ball over Augustin's head and smashed the ball into the basket.
"Are you guarding me? Are you really guarding me?"
And after the dunk, Wright trash-talked Augustin.
Obviously, the University of Texas's pursuit of points has caused ups and downs in the mentality of the University of North Carolina players.
This is also a reasonable thing. The opponents who were originally defeated at the beginning are now overwhelming them!
Looking back, Lin Ying continued to hold the ball in the low post.
Durant went to the weak side this time, a "blind pig" tactic, and he cut to the basket from the weak side.
When Lin Ying saw it, he hit the ball comfortably and fed it over.
Durant got the ball and jumped into the air.
