The era of point forwards in the NBA

Chapter 148 Talented Players Never Rely on Talent

Chapter 148 Talented Players Never Rely on Talent

In BJ at the end of August, the weather was still hot, and with the afterglow of the setting sun, Lin Yue finally embarked on the road to return to Davidson College.

The Olympic Games came to an end. Although he failed to win a medal in the end, the result was perfect. Whether it was competition experience or skills, he had learned a lot from his predecessors.

Entering the national team is also a recognition of strength.

"NCAA, I'm back again."

Saying goodbye to his parents and Li Mengyao, the three-month period was a little tiring, but it was still related to basketball, and his skills had improved compared to before he came back.

Yao Ming taught him some advice on footwork around the rim and free throws.

……

"Yeah, Curry is in Seattle."

Looking at the empty dormitory, Lin Yue suddenly thought that his heart was inexplicably empty.

He doesn't want to have a new roommate. Either Curry will come back, or he will be more comfortable by himself. If he doesn't get along well with the new roommate, it will cause trouble.

When he got to school, he had nothing to do, so he took the basketball and walked towards the gymnasium.

"This Will is still training here."

In Lin Yue's impression, Will is not someone who likes to train, let alone practice during the holidays.

"Will, why don't you come and fight alone." Lin Yue walked forward, just like a year ago, except that it was not Lin Yue who challenged, but Will.

"Brother Lin, you're back." Will said. Everyone in Davidson College had watched the BJ Olympic games this year, and Lin Yue's pride as a Davidson College naturally attracted attention.

This time the Chinese team became Davidson College's second home court. Lin Yue's outstanding performance was tantamount to advertising for the team.

"Brother Lin, why did you change your name? It's strange." Lin Yue asked.

Will scratched his head and formally apologized for his rude behavior a year ago.

In fact, as early as last season's NCAA, the whole team gradually united. As the team's second scorer, Lin Yue used his own strength to defeat everyone, including Will who was forced to play as a substitute.

It's just that the two of them kept silent about the past, tacitly, until today, taking advantage of the absence of others, they finally apologized, and Lin Yue didn't mind going over.

"There will be no Stephen next season, and Davidson College will also recruit new players. We all have to train hard for the next season's results."

After finishing speaking, Lin Yue began to have a one-on-one with Will again, but this time the rest of the Davidson Wildcats were not there.

"Look, isn't this Lin Yue? He's back from playing the Olympics?" The other players gathered around in an instant, watching the duel between the bosses.

This is the end of the timeline.

"How do I feel that you have become stronger?" Will looked at Lin Yue carefully, and there were visible changes in just a few months. It seems that the Olympic training has helped him a lot.

Will thought that he could catch up with him by practicing persistently these days, but the facts proved that while he was working hard, Lin Yue was also working hard.

"You attack first."

Lin Yue passed the ball to Will, who threatened from outside the three-point line.

He knows that he has been the main defense, but the offense only relies on eating cakes and cannot help the team, so he trained the offense with the ball.

Will hit near the free throw line with his back, then suddenly turned around and stepped back for a jumper.

Although the ball bounced out of the frame, the movement was decent, and it could be seen that it was proficiency rather than a blind shot.

"It seems that you have practiced a lot during this time." Lin Yue is very happy that the players can take the initiative to improve themselves, which makes him look forward to the next season's competition even more.

"It's useless if you don't enter." Will laughed.

Lin Yue also made three threats after receiving the ball. Will did not choose to defend according to the old routine. He knew that Lin Yue did not have a three-pointer.

"Don't guard against three points?"

"No defense." Will said firmly.

Afterwards, Lin Yue adjusted and made a direct three-pointer. This was his first goal after returning to school.

"Bangdang."

Fortunately, the goal was missed, and Will almost broke out in a cold sweat. He thought he had practiced a three-pointer.

"Damn, the three-point line is indeed a bit longer." Lin Yue thought in his heart. He had consciously increased his efforts, but the result was still biased. It seems that the three-point line has no chance to become a conventional weapon.

If he didn't score the goal, Will would definitely not miss another chance. An advanced goal would greatly boost his confidence. Although he had no hostility towards Lin Yue, since it was a one-on-one, he must take it seriously.

This is respect for the opponent and respect for basketball.

Will chose to be aggressive this time, and he wanted to use his physical advantage to fight.

The idea is very good, but Lin Yue has been strengthening defensive training during the Olympics. If the ball is played by someone as explosive as Westbrook, Lin Yue may not be able to keep up. Will's speed and explosive power are not to that level.

Lin Yue's footsteps moved quickly, and he gave enough interference before Will's shot, and Will's layup missed.

Now there is only one thought in Will's mind, "Lin Yue came back after returning to China to upgrade his 'equipment'."

This time, Lin Yue didn't make a three-pointer, but kept his crotch down, and the rhythm of dribbling stretched his position. After reaching the basket, he made a time difference and easily put the ball in.

Will could only shake his head, this is really inferior.

Afterwards, Lin Yue hit back to the basket, confused Will with his footsteps, and scored with a hook.

"Isn't this the center forward's footsteps? I learned this too?" Will couldn't help asking.

"Actually, there are still flaws in the movement, but you like to jump too much. If you don't have a brain in this aggressive defense, your opponent will take advantage of it." Lin Yue reminded.

"Are you saying I'm brainless?" Will couldn't laugh or cry, this wasn't the first time someone said that to him, and there was nothing he could do about it, who made his body move faster than his brain.

……

In the end, Lin Yue made a steady fallback jumper with a step back, and Will found that he could no longer guard Lin Yue.

This guy is a pervert, his speed is not very fast, and his strength is not great, but he just relies on the rhythm to shoot, and the forced shooting with a back can give limited interference.

If you want to blame, you can only blame it, because it feels difficult to hit a defensive hit.

This is the gap in talent. After a summer of hard work, he failed to catch up with Lin Yue, which made him a little frustrated.

It's not difficult to work hard, but after working hard, you still hit people if you don't achieve your goal.

"You are so strong now." Will said, and then sat on the ground.

Lin Yue wanted to play a few more rounds, but he had just finished his warm-up, but seeing that Will had no intention of continuing, he had to sit down together.

"It's all from training. The Olympic training is stressful, and it's a game at home. The daily training volume is two or three times that of Davidson before." Lin Yue said, recalling the days before, both tired and full.

Hearing Lin Yue's words, Will realized how tired Lin Yue was during this period. The Davidson Wildcats' training volume almost filled up their spare time. McKillop attached great importance to Lin Yue and specially arranged special training.

Didn't these two or three times play from morning to night? Will thought he had worked hard enough, but it seemed that it was not enough.

Talented players never rely on talent alone.
