Chapter 21 Scouting Report 2.0
Hearing what Coach Zhang said, a smile appeared on Lin Yu's face.

Although the Big 12 Conference can only be said to be an ordinary conference in the NCAA.

But being able to dominate the Big 12 Conference is undoubtedly something worth celebrating!
"The Cowboys can dominate the Big 12, and they can dominate March Madness, too!"

Hearing the confidence in Lin Yu's voice, Coach Zhang's eyes also showed anticipation.

"I am looking forward to you, Dayu, reaching the top in March Madness, our China"

Coach Zhang hadn't finished speaking yet when he noticed two figures approaching and stopped talking temporarily.

The people who came were Smith and Barkley.

Smith was the first to ask, "I didn't disturb you, did I? If possible, I would like to conduct a brief post-match interview with Lin Yu."

Coach Zhang naturally knew both of them. After all, Barkley had not retired when the NBA entered China.

"Don't bother, as long as Dayu agrees."

Coach Zhang also wanted to see what kind of evaluation Barkley, the NBA legendary superstar and one of the top 50 stars, would have on Lin Yu after he met Lin Yu again.

Lin Yu naturally had no objection and agreed immediately.

Smith introduced himself while directing the photographer to come over with the camera.

"Hello Lin Yu! I'm Kenny Smith, and this is my partner Charles Barkley."

"Hello, Kenny, Charles! Actually, you don't need any introduction. I really like your show."

I heard Lin Yu say that he liked watching their show.

The curves of Smith and Barkley's mouths became wider, and their eyes were full of pride, as if they felt very proud of Lin Yu's praise.

Barkley also asked at this time: "Lin, since you like watching our show, who do you like more? Or, who impressed you more?"

After Barkley asked this question, he looked at Smith proudly.

As long as Lin Yu continued to say that he was more impressed with him, Barkley was ready to give Lin Yu the nickname of 10-centimeter-tall flying pig.

"It must be you, Charles. After all, the incident of you kissing the donkey's ass is really unforgettable!"

As Lin Yu spoke, he couldn't help but recall the incident where Barkley kissed the donkey's butt, and a smile appeared on his face.

Barkley nodded happily when he heard the first half of the sentence.

But after hearing Lin Yu's words, the smile on his face disappeared instantly and his face turned dark.

Perfect interpretation of what it means to change face in one second!
Coach Zhang was trying hard to hold back his laughter. He wanted to laugh but had to give Barkley some face out of politeness.

Pfft!

Compared to the polite Coach Zhang, Smith did not have too many concerns at this time.

"Haha! Charles, Lin Yu is right. You are indeed more impressive to the audience than me. After all, I dare not kiss a donkey's ass! Hahaha!"

Hearing Smith's ridicule, Barkley glared at Smith.

"Kenny, this is the responsibility a real man should have. If you lose the bet, you must fulfill it!"

"So, Charles, shall we take a gamble this time?"

"No need to bet. I believe Lin will definitely like this title."

Barkley's voice was full of confidence, but it made Lin Yu a little confused.

What's the name?
what's going on?
But after thinking about it, Lin Yu figured it out.

Most likely, Barkley and Smith gave themselves some names or nicknames.

In fact, it is very common for NBA players to have nicknames.

Kobe has many nicknames, such as "Black Mamba", "Little Peter Pan", "Little Malone of Los Angeles", etc. O'Neal also has nicknames such as "Big Shark" and "Superman".

'Stone Buddha' Duncan, 'Wolf King' Garnett, 'Little Giant' Yao Ming.
However, Lin Yu estimated that given Barkley's level, he would most likely not be given a nice nickname.

Smith explained for Lin Yu: "Charles thinks you have the talent to become a '10-centimeter-tall flying pig', but I think it's more appropriate to call you '10-centimeter-tall Jordan'. Lin, which one do you think suits you better?"

A ten centimeter tall flying pig.
Lin Yu took a look at Barkley's now fat body and ignored him without any hesitation.

Although this title is definitely a compliment.

Lin Yu was mainly afraid that he would really develop in the direction of Barkley.

Not to mention the fact that he never won a championship in his lifetime, the main reason is that Barkley’s appearance is indeed not as good as that of Boss Joe.

If Lian Guanxi's appearance can develop into that of Uncle Bensan, what else is impossible?

Lin Yu is also afraid that he will become as fat as Barkley in the future.
"Kenny, I definitely want to be called '10 cm taller Jordan'. Although Charles and Michael are both top 50 stars in the league, I think my appearance is just as handsome as Michael's."

"Of course, this doesn't mean that Charles isn't handsome, but he's still a little behind me and Michael."

In front of Barkley, Lin Yu still gave Barkley some face.

Appearance.
Gan!
Barkley was unhappy on the spot and started to refute directly.

"If I had a few hundred million dollars, I would be as handsome as Michael!"

"Lin, you must be thinking that I don't have a championship, right? If I had Scottie Pippen as my teammate, I would have a championship too!"

After hearing what Barkley said, Lin Yu actually wanted to say something.

Charles, some things are innate!

Although you can rely on US dollars to become multi-talented and multi-billionaire, you can also become a talented person.

But we have to admit that there is a difference in appearance.

Before Lin Yu could speak, Smith saw Barkley starting to get tough and started to make the final move.

"Charles, there are some things you have to admit. Okay, I declare here that from now on, Lin Yu is the '10-centimeter-taller Jordan'."

"No, Lin Yu is the '10-centimeter-taller flying pig'. I won't admit that Lin Yu's looks like Michael's!"

"Charles, we are broadcasting live, it's useless for you to cheat."

"I don't care! I won't admit it anyway!"

Regarding this funny duo, Lin Yu can only say that they are truly efficient figures in the media industry.

After the two of them bickered with each other for a while and asked Lin Yu a few more questions, the interview was about to end.

At the last moment, Smith suddenly remembered that he had one question left to ask.

"Lin Yu, I have a question. I saw you shoot in today's game, but why didn't you shoot in the previous ten games?"

Lin Yu had known that the media would ask such questions and had already thought of the answers.

"I've always had shooting skills, but before the season started, the coach chose to make me gain weight. After gaining weight, I'm just now getting some of my touch back."

After gaining weight, muscles need to readapt to produce force.

Therefore, even NBA players, after gaining weight in the summer, often become iron kings in the new season.

Tatum started gaining weight after the Olympics before Lin Yu traveled through time.

In the first three seasons of his career, his three-point shooting percentage was 39.9%, averaging 1.8 three-pointers per game.

After gaining weight, from the beginning of the new season to the end of 2021, his average three-point shooting percentage was less than %, which can be said to be as iron as it can be.
