Chapter 186 The First Encounter with Zijin: A Battle with Idols (Please Subscribe, Please Recommend)

[Brothers, there is a new situation. During the offseason, I went to Barkley to learn skills. 】

Lin Yue sent a message among the group of eight that he not only wanted to take Curry and Durant there, but also brought several other people there. Of course, everyone was happy in the training camp.

Harden: [Brother Yue, what's the situation? Isn't Barkley too lazy to open training camps? How can I go there to learn skills this time? 】

【Barkley came to me specifically yesterday. Stephen and Kevin and I plan to go and find out during the offseason. You can join us too】

Harden: [Okay, let's go together when the offseason is over]

【Why did you get up so early today? Go to training early in the morning and become more diligent】

In Lin Yue's impression, Harden should still be sleeping at this time.

Harden: [Hey, actually, I just came out of the nightclub and haven't slept yet. There is no game today, so I'll go to bed first if I have nothing to do]

【. . . 】

Lin Yue was really speechless. He didn't expect Harden to be so obsessed with nightclubs. It took too much physical energy, and he had to guide him later.

After Lin Yue's morning run, Curry and Durant also woke up from their sleep. After breakfast, the three rushed to the Ford Center Arena to prepare for today's training.

"Lin, you plan to teach them to the training camp in the future?" Curry asked.

"Yes, it's fun to have a lot of people, and everyone has already agreed to meet again during the offseason this year and next year, so let's go together by the way." Lin Yue replied.

"What if Barkley gets unhappy after seeing so many people?" Durant asked.

"This will only become clear when the time comes."

"..."

During the conversation, everyone came to the Ford Center Arena. They were the first to arrive because they lived closest to the arena.

Lin Yue started with his own three-pointers. Like Curry, he practiced three-pointers every day from the beginning to the end. Curry regarded three-pointers as his ultimate move, and he has always devoted himself to three-pointers.

Lin Yue wants to incorporate three-pointers into his arsenal as soon as possible. After the three-pointers become more accurate, his ability will become stronger. In the current three games, Lin Yue's three-pointer shooting rate is quite good, with 40%, but he only takes 5 shots, which is not up to the average level.

The lack of shots is precisely because he is not confident in his three-pointers.

Durant first made some running layups, and then with the help of the trainer, he pulled up the mid-range in a confrontational situation. The common scoring methods in these games were all practiced little by little in training.

Durant also has three-point ability, and it is better than Lin Yue, but he doesn't use it much, far less frequently than Curry. Now the NBA still focuses on inside and mid-range, and three-pointers are not conventional weapons.

After the training in the morning, the rest of the players in the group said that they would come to the training during the offseason, but Griffin's answer was not sure, which seemed a bit bitter.

Griffin: [If my injury improves by then, I will definitely come]

Griffin has been cooperating with active treatment during this period. At first, he and the coach thought that the injury would heal within a month at most, but the current examination results are not optimistic, and there is a high probability that he will be reimbursed for the season, which means that his rookie season will be next season.

Everyone in Griffin became depressed. This was not the answer he wanted. Seeing that every day in the group, people were talking about how many points he had scored today, checking in on the training results in the group, especially last night when the news about Lin Yue’s dunk was sent to the group by Harden.

It's a pity that he can only watch his friends struggle while lying on the bed, and he can't compete with Lin Yue for the best rookie this season, the more he thinks about it, the more he regrets it.

Lin Yue also seemed to sense that he was in the wrong mood, and immediately told the group not to discuss this dunk anymore.

Lin Yue also sent an invitation the next day, hoping that Griffin could come, as Barkley's ability can be best reflected in him.

Pack up your mood and continue training in the afternoon. The Thunder's next opponent is the Los Angeles Lakers.

As last year's NBA champion, they bought Ci Shiping this year, but they gave up signing Sun Yue during the offseason, making this game not the long-awaited civil war of Chinese fans.

However, this game is full of highlights. The defending champion Lakers face the Thunder, which is currently ranked No. [-] in the Western Conference. Although the Thunder is No. [-], people think that the Lakers can easily win this game.

In addition to these, the duel between Lin Yue and Kobe Bryant is also a highlight of the game.

The two players who use leanback as their main scoring method will usher in a head-to-head contest in this game. People are also looking forward to whether the current hot and menacing No. [-] will hit the rookie wall in the face of Kobe's fierce defense.

The arrival of Metta World Peace will help the Lakers' defense to another level. Due to the status of the Lakers, this game will be broadcast live across the United States and the country.

The game time is at 2009:11 pm on November 3, [-]. The home court of the Thunder has the advantage of the home court.

Lin Yue is also looking forward to the duel with Kobe. He used to imitate his opponent's style of play on TV, but after a few years he will compete in the same arena in the NBA. He will collide head-on with his idol. He is afraid that he will be the most successful in chasing stars.

You have seen a few who came to the NBA after chasing stars.

In the middle of the night, Lin Yue was tossing and turning in bed, thinking about the upcoming game tomorrow.

Kobe is the strongest opponent he has ever met. It is different from the Olympic games. At that time, Kobe was surrounded by star players, and his possession of the ball was much reduced. This time is different. Back to the status of the team's number one star, Kobe must have a lot of possession of the ball. What Lin Yue has to face is Kobe who holds the ball.

Regardless of whether he can guard against it or not, he has to accept tomorrow's game calmly. Putting these restless thoughts behind him, Lin Yue finally managed to fall asleep.

Early the next morning, Lin Yue followed the two to the arena to prepare for today's game.

……

NBA President David Stern came to the scene. The publicity of this game was in place in the United States and China. Now we are waiting for the game to start. Kobe has many fans around the world. Once Lin Yue, a Chinese, stepped onto the NBA stage, the support behind him was the whole country. The ratings of this game can be imagined. Seeing the Thunder team playing better and better, Stern smiled. It seems that the development of the NBA will get better and better.

The Ford Center arena is full of seats an hour before the start of the game. Yes, for these fanatical fans, even the warm-up before the game is regarded as part of the game.

The pre-match starting list is also released. The Thunder are: Curry, Lin Yue, Durant, Sefolosha and Collison.

The starters for the Lakers are: "Old Fish" Fisher, Kobe Bryant, Metta World Peace, Lamar Odom and Gasol.

The lineup of the championship team has been strengthened. This year's Lakers are rushing to defend their title.
