Chapter 1371 Lin Yi
After Stevens adopted Tang Tian’s suggestion, he quickly took action.
Durant is quite interested in the proposal to play the second position. You should know that his second position was the most exciting stage when he scored at the Supersonics.
Durant agreed, and other things were easy to do.
Stevens arranged for trainers to start losing weight for Durant and Siakam.
At the same time, Kuzma also gained weight to a certain extent, and he had to return from playing the third position to swinging from playing the third position.
When facing the Bucks and the Lakers, the Lakers, with relatively tall outside teams, Stevens also began to use the new lineup in advance.
Brogden and Durant on the outside, Siakam and Davis on the front line, and center Gasol.
Although it cannot be called the Five Deaths, the average height of this lineup is much higher than before.
However, there are always pains in the test lineup, and the team's record has fluctuated.
Fortunately, this ups and downs are within a controllable range, and as Durant and Siakam's weight drops, the ups and downs continue to decrease.
Time is fast, and it is already the end of December in a blink of an eye. The Pelicans are about to usher in a Christmas battle with the Spurs.
The Spurs are now ranked first in the league.
Durant left the Lakers, Tang Tian retired from the Pelicans, and his two biggest competitors have weakened their strength, and they have no opponents.
They ranked first in the ESPN strength list before the start of the season and are also considered by the outside world as the biggest favorite to win the championship in the new season.
This Christmas battle has also attracted much attention.
Two days before Christmas, Tang Tian was decorating the manor with his children at home and preparing to welcome Christmas.
As the manor was being arranged, an uninvited guest came to the manor.
Yao Ming.
The last time the two met was during the Chinese competition.
Moreover, Yao Ming's purpose of coming to the United States this time is surprising. He came to inspect the players.
"Did you know that NCAA has now produced a Chinese center with excellent talent?"
Yao Ming's eyes were a little excited.
Tang Tian shook his head. Since he made that suggestion, he has only paid attention to the Pelicans occasionally, let alone ncaa.
He retired as a boss and spent most of his time on his children and family.
"A center of 2.13 meters can shoot three-pointers, dribble, and dribble, and dunk. In short, he is very versatile."
Yao Ming was a little furious when he spoke.
As a center forward, he knows very well how talented such a center forward is. He even thinks that if he is well trained, the success of that person will be higher than that of him.
Tang Tian was surprised. He thought Yao Ming was too exaggerated.
If Yao Ming really said that, his talent is many times stronger than Yi Jianlian. Is there such a yellow person?
"What's his name?"
Tang Tian couldn't help asking curiously.
"Lin Yi."
"Lin Yi?"
Tang Tian thought this name was very familiar.
He thought about it for a moment and remembered that when he was in Nike China, he gave him signature sneakers one to Wang Quanze and the other to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi was quite impressed by him. He was a child from a mountain village. He also donated a sum of money to that mountain village so that they could watch the Olympics.
Later, when he was doing Nike promotion activities at the American All-Stars, he also met them, and it seemed that they both went to NCAA to play basketball.
But this cannot be alone.
Although he hasn't seen each other for two years, Lin Yi in his impression is just a child less than 1.8 meters tall, and he turned into a big man of 2.13 meters in the blink of an eye?
Are you kidding?
Perhaps it's just a coincidence.
"Which school is he in?"
Tang Tian couldn't help but continue asking curiously.
"Davidson, Davidson Wildcats, I want to invite you to go with me."
Yao Ming's idea is very simple. He can see from some videos that Lin Yi is very talented and it is inevitable to join the national team in the future.
If Tang Tian goes with him, he can also be considered planning for the future.
However, he was surprised to see Tang Tian's expression, and he felt a little bit like he was a ghost.
It's really a ghost.
The Lin Yi he knew was in Weiweisen!
But he has never seen anyone who can grow dozens of centimeters taller in just two or three years, which is simply unscientific!
Take Antetokounmpo, the most well-known NBA, for example. It is said that it is the planting of a small forward in spring and the harvest of a center in autumn.
But in fact, he only grew from 2 meters to 11 meters.
"I'll go with you."
Tang Tian finally agreed to Yao Ming. He wanted to see if the Lin Yi mentioned by Yao Ming and the Lin Yi he knew were the same person.
That afternoon, Tang Tian and Yao Ming flew to Davidson, North Carolina together.
It was an inconspicuous town, and if it weren't for Davidson College, there might have been few people here.
Davidson College has good academic abilities and is one of the famous "New Ivy League" schools.
Moreover, this school has produced many celebrities, including former US Secretary of State Dean Lask, Pulitzer Prize winner Charles Wright, NBA superstar Curry, etc.
Yes, Curry graduated from this prestigious university.
Compared with his academics, although Davidson belongs to the NCAA first-level alliance, his strength has never been very good.
Except Curry.
Curry led the team to the NCAA quarterfinals historically, and then made a name for himself in the NBA. This school was known to basketball fans around the world.
After entering the campus, they went straight to the basketball hall.
The game was held in the evening and they had already started before they arrived.
After entering the basketball hall, Tang Tian saw a lot of signs on the scene at the first sight.
This familiar scene reminded him of the time he played in Kangda.
In terms of basketball atmosphere, NCAA really exploded several streets.
However, when he saw the words written on the logo language, he was still surprised.
"The Great Devil."
When he saw this word, his first reaction was Zhou Qi.
Zhou Qi was a big hit in the U17 field and even played a triple-double blocking several times, which was nicknamed by fans.
But it is obvious that this great devil is not that great devil, he should refer to Lin Yi.
He then looked at the field.
A familiar face, a completely unfamiliar height.
Lin Yi's rossover changed direction and dunked after he turned his direction and instantly ignited the atmosphere on the scene.
Moreover, after Lin Yi dunked, he made a series of trash talks at the sidelines.
Tang Tian found it very magical.
It's really the kid I used to be.
But I don't know the face at all.
Yao Ming greeted Tang Tian and the two chose a position with a better vision.
Tang Tian also better observed Lin Yi's performance on the field.
As Yao Ming said before, Lin Yi's change of direction, breakthrough, and even shooting were excellent.
This is simply a killer in ncaa.
And if you continue to play according to this performance, you will have the chance to reach the top three in the draft or even the No. 1 pick.
The more Tang Tian looked at it, the more he became, the more wrong it was.
Although he knew Lin Yi had played well at Davidson before, this was far from good.
Slowly, he began to realize something.
Lin Yi, probably traveled through time like him and got a system.
