Chapter 5 Learning skills: Death Coil!

Old Kenny did not arrange various interviews for Lin Yu at this time, but began to develop a training plan for Lin Yu.

Although Goji Brother has outstanding talent, his excellence is limited to the small forward position.

It can be seen from the fact that his strength attribute is only 86 points that Goji Brother's strength is not good for an inside player.

86 points is indeed enough in the NCAA, but old Kenny still thinks that Lin Yu should gain some weight and start strength training.

Strength can be trained. For example, O'Neal's terrifying strength continued to increase after he gained weight after entering the NBA.

Old Kenny's plan is to let Lin Yu gain 3-5KG in weight and train his strength before the competition.

Lin Yu’s current problems are also quite obvious.

His low-post offensive skills, whether it's his inside footwork or his low-post back-to-the-basket shooting, are not very good.

It cannot be said that there is no projection, but it is indeed very average.

Before Lin Yu traveled through time, Brother Goji's mid-range shooting percentage was 36.2% and his long-range two-point shooting percentage was 34.2%.

Since the NCAA's three-point line is shorter, a long-range two-point shot is a three-point shot.

If the three-point shooting percentage is 34.2%, it is barely acceptable.

But an inside player doesn't go to the low post to dig in, but goes to the outside to shoot three-pointers.
For an old-school coach like Kenny who advocates defense, he really didn't know how to design tactics for Lin Yu for a while.

However, what makes old Kenny more gratified is that Lin Yu's ball-holding offense is at least top-notch in NACC.

To put it simply, Lin Yu is on the offensive end.

What he is best at now is alley-oop and dribbling, and he also has a decent three-point shot and a not-so-stable mid-range shot.

The defense is what satisfies old Kenny the most.

Whether it's assisting defense in the mid-range, protecting the basket in the low post, or defending alone, Lin Yu's performance is excellent.

Especially in one-on-one defense, he can be said to be the best player since old Kenny coached the NCAA, no doubt about it!
In fact, Lin Yu’s outstanding performance on the defensive end is also related to the system rewards.

After completing the achievement of joining the Cowboys.

Lin Yu can choose the reward from players who also played for the Cowboys.

However, the Cowboys are not traditional NCAA powerhouses like North Carolina, Duke, and UCLA. The most powerful time for their ancestors was when they made it to the semi-finals of the NCAA tournament, so they really don't have many strong opponents.

Lin Yu directly chose the skills of his teammate Tony Allen.

[Death Coil: When defending an opponent alone, reduce the opponent's shooting accuracy by 25%! At the same time, increase the chance of stealing by 30%! ]

10 month 28 day.

Tony Allen finished his training early and invited Lin Yu to go back to the dormitory to watch the game.

"Lin, the Lakers F4 game is about to start, let's go back to the dormitory and watch it together!"

After Lin Yu joined the Cowboys, Old Kenny arranged Tony to be Lin Yu's roommate.

"Tony, go back and watch! I'll be training for a while!"

Lin Yu is not interested in the Lakers F4. As a time traveler, he knows very well the ending of the Lakers F4.

The Lakers F4 can be said to have lost to injuries, or to internal strife.

Of course, this has nothing to do with him now.

He is now more interested in preparing for the opening game.

In order to help Lin Yu become famous, Old Kenny deliberately turned down all media interviews.

People are just like this sometimes.

The less you get, the more restless you become!
The curiosity of the outside world has been completely aroused by Old Kenny.

Even this opening game was arranged by the NCAA to be broadcast live across the United States for the first time!
Everyone is looking forward to Lin Yu's performance! In this situation, even Lin Yu, who has lived two lives, feels nervous.

Tony also knew the pressure Lin Yu was facing now, so he stopped inviting him.

"Then you can continue your training, Lin! I'm leaving first!"

"Bye-Bye!"

After Tony left, Lin Yu continued training.

Old Kenny was in the head coach's office, watching Lin Yu who was training hard.

He said to his son Kenny Jr., "Luke, Lin's future will definitely not be lower than Larry Bird, Earvin Johnson, Bill Russell and others."

"I have seen too many players who waste their talents. Lin has talent and is willing to work hard. Such a player will definitely have a bright future!"

Although little Kenny is also optimistic about Lin Yu's future, he couldn't help but be surprised when he heard his father compare Lin Yu to these legendary superstars!

"Father, isn't what you said a little too exaggerated?"

"Exaggeration? Luke, I don't think it's an exaggeration. Just wait! We will see a new legend rise soon!"

The Magic City Airport on the other side of the ocean.

Yu Jia and Coach Zhang boarded the plane to Meili's home.

After Yu Jia sat down, he asked Coach Zhang, "Coach Zhang, why did the higher-ups suddenly ask us to fly to Meilijia this time? Are we going to Meilijia to interview Yao Ming or the Lakers F4?"

"Neither. This time it was indeed a little sudden. I mainly wanted to interview Lin Yu."

After hearing Coach Zhang's answer, Yu Jia was also stunned. He knew Lin Yu. After all, Lin Yu's name was already well-known in China and the United States.

"Coach Zhang, now that you mentioned that, I'm also looking forward to it. Lin Yu's jump in that video was really high! I wonder if he grew up eating springs!"

"You need to ask Lin Yu himself about this."

The opening match day is November 11th.

The Gallagher-Eibar Arena's 14000-seat spectator stand was already full.

Trail Blazers scout Roy Perkins also arrived at the scene early.

"Roy, I didn't expect you to come too."

Roy heard the voice and looked over, seeing it was Pacers scout Sweet, and greeted him.

"Sweet, I remember the Pacers were aiming to win the championship this season, right? Why are you here too?"

"Although the Pacers are indeed aiming to win the championship, who knows if the Cowboys' super rookie will be able to bring down his market value?"

The examples Sweet described are not uncommon in the NCAA.

The most typical example is the future Jordan.

Before the combine, scouting reports had extremely high evaluations of Jordan.

People think that his athleticism, explosiveness and jumping ability are extremely rare and that he has great potential.

He also has a very broad frame, and if he gains weight properly he could become a dominant center on both offense and defense.

After participating in the joint tryout.
Jordan fell to the second round.

Sweet or the Pacers are also waiting to see whether Lin Yu will lower his own value.

Although ESPN Draft and other draft pick prediction websites have not ranked Lin Yu at all, because Lin Yu has not played a single game yet.

But everyone knows that as long as Lin Yu shows his talent in the game as shown in the video, the lottery zone is basically a sure thing.

And the teams that are interested in Lin Yu are far more than just the Pacers and the Trail Blazers.

Heat scout Richard, Raptors scout John Randle, and even Suns assistant coach Mike D'Antoni were all present!
