Chapter 41 Yao Ming Arrives
As soon as everyone got off the bus, old Kenny took everyone to the stadium without stopping.
Before the training started, I also talked about how terrifying the tactical team was!
"The Demon Deacons are great, but they only have Chris Paul."
"The tactical team is different. In addition to Deron Williams, who is predicted to be in the top three, there are also two NBA-level players in Luther Head and Dee Brown!"
Paul does not have enough helpers around him, but Deron has two NBA-level helpers around him now!
Deron is the future star player of the Jazz and is known as the league's top point guard who eats, sleeps and plays like Paul.
Luther Head, many Chinese fans will be familiar with this name, because after entering the NBA, he was a teammate with Yao Ming for several years.
However, at that time he mainly played as a substitute in the Rockets, so his presence was not high.
But in the NCAA, Luther Head still has a great reputation.
His accurate three-point shooting, natural big heart and tough defense made him the No. 2 player for the University of Illinois Warriors.
De Brown, a 1-meter-tall defender.
Although in the future he will be a water dispenser manager in the NBA.
But in the NCAA, such players can definitely call the shots.
When these three form a team, their strength is even better than that of the Demon Deacons, who only have Paul, a team at the NBA level.
In the media's power rankings, the Cowboys ranked fifth, while the University of Illinois Warriors ranked second!
Second only to the UConn Huskies, who have two top picks.
And this is not the key point that old Kenny is worried about.
"With the former tactical team coach Bill Serford no longer coaching this season, the new head coach Bronse Weber began to pursue offense and even gave up defense to a certain extent."
"The current tactical team's three-back tactic was created in this way, but it also led to the tactical team's terrifying firepower!"
"This Warriors team is very good at fast breaks, and is good at using movement and screens to catch and shoot."
To sum it up in one sentence, this tactical team is almost the future run-and-gun Suns in the NBA.
Defense?
Sorry, I can’t say it’s impossible, but it’s definitely not very good.
After all, we are playing with a three-back tactic, and you are still talking to me about defense?
But as long as I score more than my opponent, I can win the game!
It was with this tactic that the Three Musketeers took the lead.
The University of Illinois won the Big Ten Conference championship again since 1952 and remained undefeated at home!
"To deal with such an opponent, in addition to using our excellent defense to prevent the opponent from constantly passing the ball and disrupting the opponent's shooting, we must keep up with the opponent's rhythm."
"In the previous two rounds, there were teams that tried to use positional warfare against the tactical team, but they all failed."
"If we fight a positional battle with the Warriors, it may not be effective. In this case, we will change the rhythm with them. If they break fast, we will also break fast!"
Just as the Cowboys were figuring out how to handle Illinois.
At this time, an earthquake occurred again in the country because of Lin Yu.
After the Meilijia media spread rumors, it became clear that the Bulls were playing badly just for Lin Yu.
So the report that Coach Zhang sent back to China became.
The Chicago Bulls and Boston Celtics competed for the No. 1 pick just to select Lin Yu!
Just the title itself has already brought up the topic.
"Fuck! Dayu is awesome! Both teams are starting to tank!"
"He is known as the ceiling of yellow race talent. I am now looking forward to Dayu landing in the NBA."
"The report says that we have only played two rounds, and there are four rounds left. If Dayu finishes playing, I am afraid the entire NBA will be in trouble for Dayu!"
"By the way, when can I watch Dayu's game? I really want to watch Dayu's game."
"."Lin Yu was completely unaware of the current situation in the country. He had already boarded a plane to New York.
The location of this battle is Madison Square Garden.
As a basketball mecca.
Many fans will joke in the future that if you don’t come here to break a record, you won’t be able to call yourself a superstar.
Kobe Bryant scored 61 points in Madison Square Garden, setting a record for the highest individual score by a player here.
This record was finally broken by Shehuigua. In the game against the Bobcats, Shehuigua played for 39 minutes, made 35 of 23 shots, scored 62 points plus 13 rebounds without a single turnover, which was the first time in NBA history.
At this time, the Knicks traded with the Suns for All-Star point guards Stephen Marbury and Anfernee Hardaway in the middle of the season.
Currently ranked sixth in the Eastern Conference, a solid playoff team.
When you arrive at Madison Square Garden, the first thing that catches your eye is the huge poster of Lin Yu and Tony.
Tony looked at the huge poster and kept shouting excitedly.
"Oh my God! Is this true? My poster is hanging at the entrance of Madison Square Garden!"
Joey curled his lips and said, "Tony, calm down. You only have one-third of the page, and Lin Yu alone takes up most of it. It's obvious that you are just there to make up the numbers."
"I don't care! Anyway, my poster is hanging in front of Madison Square Garden!"
Tony started shouting excitedly and took out his cell phone to tell his relatives and friends the good news.
Lin Yu looked at the excited Tony and did not stop him. After all, to some extent, this was indeed something to be proud of and happy about.
Led by old Kenny, everyone came to the locker room of the stadium.
As Lin Yu and others started to change their jerseys, old Kenny began to give them instructions.
"New York is a great place. There will be a lot of stars and celebrities coming today, much more than in your previous two series combined."
"There may be some stars you like or even idols you admire here, but you must not be nervous about this."
Old Kenny knew exactly how many big-name fans would come to Madison Square Garden.
Therefore, repeated reminders were given before the game started.
Lin Yu nodded. As a fan who often watched basketball in his previous life, he was very clear about the horror of the Knicks or the New York basketball market.
Spike Lee, Taylor Swift, and Goosebumps were all regulars at Madison Square Garden.
But for Lin Yu, what he has to do now is to take away the victory!
At this point in the stadium, fans have basically been allowed to enter.
Coach Zhang was a little surprised to see a tall figure, but he still walked forward to greet him with surprise on his face.
"Dayao, why are you here at Madison Square Garden today?"
The person who came was Yao Ming, the pride of China!
When Yao Ming saw that it was Coach Zhang, a smile appeared on his face.
"Coach Zhang, you're asking even though you already know the answer. I'm here for Lin Yu."
"The team happened to be in the Knicks for an away game. We wanted to go back, but Francis said he wanted to see Lin Yu play, so I came along."
After the explanation, Dayao also showed anticipation on his face.
He had heard Lin Yu's name countless times during this period.
But because the NBA starts earlier than the NCAA, and there are many more games.
As a result, he was unable to watch the game in person.
This encounter is also an opportunity.
