Chapter 16 The flying pig is ten centimeters taller!

But Chamberlain's era was, after all, the ancient times, and many rules of that era were not perfect.

The most typical one is the zone defense rule.

In order to limit the Sharks, the NBA introduced a zone defense rule.

Even though the Sharks introduced the zone defense rules, they are still the league's top center.

But it is undeniable that the Sharks' dominance has declined significantly.

Although Lin Yu currently has excellent physical talents, he has not shown his shooting ability in the past ten games.

If you are like many black players, you have a body but no shooting.

This is a huge minus point item!

Once you break into the restricted area, you will be double-teamed.

Moreover, as one of the internal management of an NBA team, D'Antoni knows very well why Lin Yu has not yet entered the lottery zone.

In addition to the fact that the Cowboys' opponents were relatively weak in these ten games, there was also the problem of Lin Yu's playing style.

Although Lin Yu's playing style is explosive and very entertaining to watch, it does not conform to the current NBA version.

From mid-range or outside the three-point line, dribbling into the restricted area to create damage is the favorite offensive method used by guards.

And what is the playing style of power forward?
Creating damage in the low post is the common perception of power forwards in this era.

You mean the veteran driver?
How did the old driver get the reputation of a softie? Isn't it just playing from the outside?

The difference between Lao Siji and Lin Yu is that one is shooting from the outside, and the other is breaking through with the ball from the outside.

In addition, the league has not abolished the handcheck rule at this time.

The handcheck rule means that the defensive player can touch the opponent's body with his hand or forearm.

Before this rule was abolished, it was difficult for outside players to play well without certain abilities.

Although Lin Yu has the height for an inside player, his playing style is obviously that of an outside player.

There is not even one player like this in the NBA.

But who knows if Lin Yu can do it?
This is one of the reasons why many teams, including scouts, are waiting and watching at this time.

It’s really that Lin Yu’s style of play is too unconventional.

The opponent was not strong, did not show any shooting, and played in an unconventional way.
In addition, Lin Yu currently has too few games, and even fewer games that are worthy of reference.

Taking all these reasons into consideration, Lin Yu has explosive physical talent.

But the scouts and management of NBA teams, including many media.

Everyone was just waiting and watching at this time, so Lin Yu's draft pick did not improve.

At this time, the warm-up scene has appeared on the screen.

Looking at Lin Yu warming up on the screen, D'Antoni also began to look forward to it.

"Facing the defending champion of the Big 12 Conference, I wonder how Lin Yu can perform?"

on the field.

Lin Yu was warming up at this time.

Many scouts have come to the sidelines, including Trail Blazers scout Roy Perkins, Heat scout Richard and others.

Coach Zhang also came to the sidelines with a camera, ready to film today's game.

When Lin Yu finished warming up, he greeted Coach Zhang out of habit.

Then, he learned about PJ Tucker from Coach Zhang.

"Dayu! That Longhorn, or P.J. Tucker from the Longhorns, was arrogant before the game started, saying that he could defend you to death." "But, I heard that he once restricted Carmelo Anthony very well, so you have to be careful in this game."

It’s no wonder that Coach Zhang is worried. Carmelo Anthony averaged 21 points, 2.8 assists and 6.1 rebounds per game for the Nuggets last season.

Such performance is already an All-Star level performance in the NBA, and the Nuggets also successfully made it to the playoffs under the leadership of Anthony.

PJ Tucker can limit such players, and Coach Zhang is a little worried about Lin Yu.

Forehead.
Limit me.
Lin Yu glanced at PJ Tucker who was warming up not far away.

I didn't expect that this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes was actually full of bad intentions.

But it doesn’t matter!

"Don't worry! Coach Zhang, unless PJ Tucker is possessed by Tim Duncan today, he won't be able to limit me."

Hearing Lin Yu's confident words, Coach Zhang was still a little worried.

"Dayu, you better be careful to avoid capsizing in the ditch."

Dayu, Dazhi, Dayao.
In fact, Lin Yu wanted to complain more about Coach Zhang's level of nicknames than P.J. Tucker.

However, Lin Yu did not say much, just nodded, signaling Coach Zhang not to worry.

The warm-up is about to end and the game is about to begin.

As a preview of the Big 12 Conference finals, the guests who will be commentating on the scene this time are also very important.

The last time the opening game was broadcast, ESPN took over the commentary seat. This time, TNT also made a big move.

Directly bring "Flying Pig" Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith to the scene to commentate.

Smith teased Barkley: "Charles, that template is your power forward PJ Tucker said before the game that he could limit Lin Yu, what do you think about this?"

Barkley glanced at Tucker, who looked quite handsome with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and then looked at Lin Yu who was standing next to him with a handsome appearance.

"Kenny, don't say that. You can't say that Tucker is based on me just because he is short. I am so handsome. I think Lin Yu is more suitable to be based on me."

When Smith heard what Barkley said, he gave Barkley a cold look.

handsome!?

Which part of Ning's face has anything to do with being handsome?

Barkley seemed not to notice Smith's eye roll at this time, and continued to speak on his own.

"Lin Yu and I have excellent physical talents, and we are both power forwards. Although Lin Yu currently has no shooting ability, he is not as good as me in this aspect."

"But if Lin Yu is willing to learn shooting from me and learn my post-up play, then he will be a flying pig ten centimeters taller!"

A ten-centimeter-tall flying pig!
As a short and strong forward who is 1 meters tall (actually probably even less than 98 meters).

Barkley was able to win the rebounding title because of his excellent jumping ability and abnormal jumping speed.

At his peak, Barkley was a superstar who snatched a regular season MVP from under him.

To some extent, the ten-centimeter-tall Feizhu does show his confidence in Lin Yu's potential.

But Smith looked at Barkley, who was as fat as the ball.

No matter how you look at it, it feels like this fat guy Barkley is flattering himself!

"Charles, let's change the subject! The game is about to start, let's commentate on the game!"

Smith decisively changed the subject.

The Cowboys' starting lineup: point guard John Lucas III, shooting guard Tony Allen, small forward Joey Graham, power forward Lin Yu, and center Holmes.

The Longhorns' starting lineup: point guard Johnson Aubrey, shooting guard Roy Ivy, small forward Adelaide Uriah, power forward PJ Tucker, center Swinburne Jerry.
