Chapter 18
"Wow, it's incredible!" Kobe shook his head, opened his mouth wide, and stared at Lin Qing with a surprised expression, making a proper emoji.
He never imagined that the young man he met because of an accident would have such fast speed.
Not only is the "ordinary speed" under his feet fast, but the acceleration is also very quick. The wheat-colored boy who looks casual is so strong?
Although it is not an NBA game, Kobe can feel Lin Qing's personal strength, very impressive!
With a few offenses, he could tell.
"I wanted to point this out before. Like Iverson, he relies on disguised speed to break through the defense. He is really a talented player."
Kobe sighed inwardly; Lin Qing gave him a great surprise. With such a top-notch high-tech level, he could definitely play in the NBA.
Even if he enters the NBA, he will never become a bottom bench player like Sun Yue on the same team.
Tie Hanhan, Blake Griffin on the court, a very helpless duty for Lin Qing.
"Lin... You are too impulsive. After all, a person's strength is limited, so you will have no physical strength in the second half."
"I see~!" Lin Qing smiled and nodded.
He was definitely not trying to attract the attention of scouts but simply seeking "revenge." Harden made him score fouls, and he just wanted to blow Harden up. He was completely broken and broke down. Cool.
Lin Qing is a very simple teenager.
"Stephen, it's not surprising that you lost to him. He's very fast, and his consciousness is also top-notch. Crossover is smoother than yours. You have to learn from him." In the audience, Dell Curry looked at his son and couldn't help but offer consolation.
He knew that Stephen lost to Lin Qing at the beginning of the tournament and was very unconvinced. He often practiced in the arena until midnight without returning to the dormitory to rest.
That's what Stephen's coach, Mike Lopp, told him.
Baby-faced Stephen said calmly: "I understand that he is better than me in everything except for three-point shooting accuracy and the rest of the guard's characteristics."
The hearts of elementary school students are sad for a while~!
"NO, Stephen, you have to have confidence in yourself." Dell Curry smiled helplessly.
Lin Qing caught the attention of almost all scouts in the match between the Cowboys and the Sun Devils today.
Of course, not only scouts but also many sports news media have begun to pay attention to Lin Qing. According to Dell's knowledge, many teams have already made decisions on their favorite players, but due to Lin Qing's sudden rise, they have begun to renegotiate draft choices.
Of course, Dell is not clear about the intentions of each team.
The Los Angeles Clippers are bound to win against "Blake Griffin," and the team needs a strong inside player to save.
The Grizzlies are interested in the "African Giant" Thabeet of the University of Connecticut, while the Thunder value Stephen Curry, thinking that Curry is a good candidate for the "Big Turtle," but they began to like James Harden....
But now the Thunder is targeting Lin Qing for the draft role.
During this period, many high-level teams in the NBA were choosing roles based on the characteristics of the players so that they could sign them during the draft.
2009 was a year full of too many changes.
This year, many scouts took a wrong look... They didn't expect Stephen Curry to become a future superstar, "the league's three-point king," and get the top salary in the NBA.
Thabeet's record after joining the Grizzlies was terrible, James Harden became the scoring champion, and the No. 1 pick Griffin was reimbursed for the entire season due to injury in the first season.
The quality of the 2009 draft has been greatly underestimated.... Although it is not like the '96 golden generation, and the '03 platinum talent generation that exploded in talent, it has become the generation with the most all-stars and is also known as the strongest in the next ten years, the draft generation.
"Beep!" The whistle sounded.
The Sun Devils and Cowboys finished the first half, and many people have already seen the outcome.
41:28, the Cowboys lead by 13 points.
Lin Qing had 18 points, 4 assists, and 2 rebounds in the half, and Griffin had 12 points and 4 rebounds in the half. The two added up to 30 points. The remaining 10 points were scored by Austin, Taylor, and Tony.
If it wasn't for Travis forcing Lin Qing to rest, replacing Lin Qing and scoring another 10 points would be absolutely fine.
He is not selfish; he does not pass the ball to his teammates, but after attacking alone, he will have a strong desire to score in his heart.
On the Sun Devils' side, Harden scored 14 points and 5 assists, and got half of the team's points.
At halftime, the Arizona Sun Devils had already begun to formulate their tactics. For Lin Qing's tactics, their previous defensive focus on double-teaming Griffin was a wrong decision.
Sandek believes that Lin Qing is the biggest threat.
"He looks much stronger than Sun Yue~!" Kobe said with emotion.
How cool would it be if Lin Qing joined the Lakers to be his younger brother? If a player as good as Lin Qing can play at this level in the NBA, he would definitely not be a bench player, as he is a point guard. It is likely that he would be treated by the team as the core cornerstone of the team.
After the intermission, Lin Qing stepped back into the "battlefield"!
He slowly stretched his waist, and his expression had a hint of frivolity.
"Lin, don't underestimate your opponent," Blake Griffin urged.
He noticed that Lin Qing seemed a little too contemptuous of the Sun Devils, just watching the 1v5 action.
Of course, everyone on the team thought that Lin Qing was eager to express himself, but this was a normal thing. Except for Travis, who was a little helpless, the remaining four teammates had absolutely no opinion.
As long as you have strength, you need to show it, and this is the stage of the NCAA.
Once on the field, the Devils' offense was very ferocious.
In the first-half matchup, Harden also knew that Lin Qing was good at 1-on-1. Without too much entanglement, a feint and a flick of the ball to his teammate Abbott flexibly.
Abbott threw to Andy high, and Andy beat Austin with two points.
In the offense-defense transition, Lin Qing easily broke through Harden.
He didn't need his teammates to pick and roll, but Tyler Griffin stupidly came up to help, and he wouldn't refuse.
With the help of Taylor's pick-and-roll, Lin Qing disappeared from Harden's field of vision in a single stride. Encountering the help of Andy and Abbott, he stopped abruptly, flicked his right arm, and the ball flew into Blake's hand.
Blake once again displayed his unique skills.
Tigers dunk!
"Bang!"
There was a deafening roar from the basket.
"Pretty, this shot is very domineering," Lin Qing gave a thumbs up.
Blake smiled, "Back to defense, we're going to take them down."
In the past, when Lin Qing passed him the ball, he would take it for granted... Lin Qing's duty is to pass the ball to him, and then he goes to dunk to score, which is how the Cowboys score.
Since Lin Qing showed his potential and talent, as well as his strong individual offensive ability, Blake Griffin received another pass from Lin Qing, and there was a sense of joy in his heart... as if Lin Qing was the team boss.
Turning around, Harden started to break through under Abbott's pick-and-roll. Lin Qing blocked his side with a lateral move, and Harden's expression suddenly stagnated. He hurriedly threw the ball back to Abbott's position on the left, but unexpectedly, Lin Qing's right hand seemed to have eyes and slapped it away with a "snack."
"What?" Harden's expression changed drastically.
Next, it was time to compete for speed.
Seeing the basketball rolling to the midfield, the entire teams from both sides chased after the basketball.
"How could it be so fast?"
Lin Qing was not only fast in controlling the ball but also faster without the ball. After bursting into the 100-meter sprint, Lin Qing frantically dribbled the ball with his right hand.
At this point, some fans were already ready to scream.
As expected by the fans, the Asian teenager flew into the sky, grabbed the ball with his right hand, and threw it in front of his chest. Suddenly, he extended his long arm into the sky and dunked into the basket.
"Boom!"
A sound echoed.
Lin Qing fell to the ground to stabilize his balance and quickly pulled back to defend.
"A dazzling play! Lin steals James Harden's pass, showcases sprint speed in a one-man fast break, leading far ahead of his opponent. His dunk is reminiscent of Michael Jordan, a flexible and dominating move."
"Wow, this is a classic dunk scene reminiscent of Michael Jordan." Zhang Xiaoxue froze suddenly.
Tian Hao said happily, "Sister Xiaoxue, I captured the scene where he just dunked."
In the fast break, he suddenly leaped in the air to grab the ball with his right hand, circled it around his chest, then immediately threw the basketball and dunked it into the net.
If you have watched Jordan's dunk video collection, you will definitely be familiar with this explosive dunk. There is a bit of publicity and domineering in the flexibility. Lin Qing's hands are large enough to easily grab the ball and, with his own strength, stay in the air and perform such a perfect dunk.
"If this were in the NBA, it would definitely be another top ten play of the month."
John's expression was full of surprises, and his inner excitement was completely unbearable. Why didn't he realize that Lin Qing was actually a dunker with such unmatched talent ?
