"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.
Because he didn't switch defense when he encountered the pick-and-roll at the top of the arc, Wright was chasing after Durant at this time.
When Durant jumped up, he also jumped up to block the shot.
Because of his similar body type, some people in the NCAA will compare him with Durant.
Some people say he is Durant with strengthened defense but weakened offense.
But in fact, Durant's coordination and scoring ability are beyond Wright's reach.
Even Wright's most proud physical talent is at a disadvantage in front of Durant.
"Bang!"
Before Wright could block the shot, Durant slammed the ball into the basket with both hands.
"Are you guarding me? Are you really guarding me?"
After landing, Durant turned around and returned the trash talk Wright had directed at Augustin to Wright.
Good guy, help your teammates take the lead and don’t waste a round!
On Durant’s ultimate team concept.
However, Wright was angered and pushed Durant directly, and his mouth was not clean.
Then, the players from both sides rushed forward one after another.
Lin Ying was the first to "flash" in front of Durant.
Thanks to the referee who quickly inserted himself between the two players and quickly separated them with his hands, the conflict was prevented from escalating.
On the reaction speed of a professional referee.
Fortunately, there were no aggressive elements on both sides, otherwise the conflict would escalate into a fight in minutes.
What, Wayne is here too?
This Wayne is not that Wayne!
At the end of the conflict, Wright was called for a technical foul and Texas got a free throw opportunity.
Roy Williams went to the technical desk to complain, emphasizing that it was because Durant talked trash first.
The referee ignored it.
If it is because you need to get a technical foul for trash-talking, then the number one technical fouler in the NBA should be Payton instead of Rasheed Wallace.
This is why Paul likes to "tease" Cousins ​​every time he meets him.
This is also the reason why every time Paul plays against Beverley, he will break the mentality of Beverley who talks trash first.
"NBA: Art is trash talk".
Durant hit the technical foul despite interference.
47 to 48!
The University of Texas overtook it.
And they still have the ball.
Wright was still left on the field by Williams.
Although Wright was a little out of control, the anxious situation at hand made him dare not replace Wright easily.
Of course, he also made adjustments.
Wright and Hansbrough switched defenses. Instead of guarding Durant, he switched to guarding Lin Ying.
This wave of adjustments can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.
One is naturally to avoid another conflict between Wright and Durant;
Secondly, Hansbrough's effectiveness in preventing Lin Ying's low-post offense has not been good in the past period of time, so it was time to switch to Wright to try it.
Although Wright's weight and strength are much worse than Hansbrough's, he has an excellent wingspan and a higher defensive IQ.
On the sideline ball from the University of Texas, Lin Ying continued to stay low.
And this time he wants to take the position very deeply!
Watch people order food.
Extended to the basketball court, you have to use different moves against different people.
If Hansbrough doesn't have an advantage, then he has to rely on the playing styles of Garnett, Gasol and Duncan.
But when you meet Wright, you can't rely on that.
What you may not expect is that Gasol has been blocked more than 1,500 times in his career, which is more than Howard.
Although this is determined by many factors, at least for Lin Ying now, he needs to play like Howard again.
Because Hansbrough's weakness is speed, Wright's weakness is confrontation.
He was in a very deep position, and his butt and hands worked together to push Wright to the side.
However, Wright was indeed smart. He did not confront Lin Ying head-on. Instead, he stepped sideways to prevent Lin Ying from catching the ball like Hansbrough did before.
Durant tried several times but failed and gave the ball to Augustin.
Wright's arm was much longer than Hansbrough's, and Augustin couldn't get in.
The ball finally returned to Durant's hands, and Durant chose to hold the ball and hit Hansbrough alone.
Although his current offensive ability with the ball is not very strong, he still has to decide who he is playing against.
This is also the origin of his "everyone he hits is in a wrong position".
Facing a heavy insider like Hansbrough, speed becomes his absolute advantage.
In a crossover, Hansbrough couldn't keep up with the range of changes in direction brought about by his height.
After getting away from Hansbrough, Durant broke through to the mid-range position and made an emergency stop.
This height coupled with his body control ability made the scouts in the audience drool again.
"when!"
The ball was on target, but unfortunately it was a bit unlucky and the ball finally hit the back edge of the basket and bounced up.
But at this moment, Lin Ying pushed away Wright, leaped high and grabbed the offensive rebound!
In terms of rebound protection and blocking, Wright is more than one level behind Hansbrough.
Of course Wright is still smart.
Although he didn't get the advantage in the first confrontation, he pressed his hands and whole body on Lin Ying.
In this situation, it would be difficult for Lin Ying to remember.
However, something he didn't expect happened again!
As if Lin Ying had accumulated enough energy, he used all his strength to knock him away, then turned over and jumped up.
"Bang!"
Lin Ying held his breath and smashed the ball directly into the basket through Wright!
Everyone, everyone was shocked!!
Over at the live broadcast booth, Barkley held his head again.
But this time his mood was obviously different from before.
In the auditorium, not only the North Carolina fans, but also the Texas fans were stunned and did not react for a moment.
Yang Yi was also surprised, but the next second his eyes became fanatical.
This game will make Lin Ying popular in China!
Across the ocean, countless Chinese fans raised their hands in excitement and shouted!
This ball is a fortress!
But before their cheers could end, the next second... a certain wave's live broadcast crashed!
It's very real.
The signal source of a certain wave was not very stable to begin with. Now the number of users increased sharply and the backend server crashed.
For a moment, the fans refreshed the web page anxiously and started their daily trolling mode.
This scene is very similar to how Station B will collapse one day in the future.
In the dome arena, after the Texas fans came to their senses, the arena was completely filled with cheers from the fans!
Before this, most people defined Lin Ying as a spatial insider.
Although his defense is actually not bad, due to the characteristics of the times, if you don't play in the low post as an insider, you are "soft".
But his performance in the low post during this period, especially the dunk just now, directly shattered this traditional impression!
Lin's qi is overwhelming, and his qi is unrivaled in the world!
On the field, Lin Ying also let out a long breath after landing.
The reason why he played so aggressively was entirely because of Wright pushing Durant in front of him.
His only friend suffered a loss. He would definitely beat Wright to death!
In the audience, Jordan looked serious, completely different from when he first arrived.
If the game continues at this pace, North Carolina will most likely lose.
If North Carolina loses, he...
Putting aside everything else, the Bobcats will definitely not be able to get Lin Ying this year.
ps: I just scanned the book "Krypton Gold Invincible". Although the book was written two years ago and the early writing was not very mature, there are some parts of the plot in the back that are really great.
The scene when Tang Tian left the Spurs and had a drink with Veach was a tear-jerker. The subsequent plot of the Pelicans' Big Four confronting Xiao Hua was also ups and downs enough. To be honest, I'm not sure I can write a plot of that level again.
.
But then I thought about it, didn’t I write it myself? I laughed and cried.
So it gave me confidence in myself, just like Durant’s famous saying:
I am a water eggplant!
I will work hard to maintain confidence, make up for the shortcomings of that book, and then try to write a wonderful plot!
Finally, I would like to express my sincere condolences to the book "Invincible Money in Basketball". It is bound to have flaws, but if you haven't read it, it is definitely worth reading.
Chapter completed!
