I really play basketball

Chapter 24 Don't worry, come one by one
If Anfernee Hardaway knows, because of a dispute, he has been blacklisted by a freshman in the Atlantic League.

Perhaps, he would also feel wronged.

Like Lin Xing, he had inexplicably provoked an opponent without doing anything.

But in Lin Xing's view, he did nothing, but his fans did everything.

The so-called "powder-like blackness" refers to this group of fanatical fans of Penny.

I don't know where Penny got so many fans. There are so many fans that even Jason Kidd, the number one high school student in the United States, is not his opponent.

Not to mention, Lin Xing didn't win Kidd until the last game of his high school career.

Lin Xing also had no choice. He wanted to shut up these fanatical penny fans. The most direct and effective way was to play against penny.

It's a pity that in the short term, he has no chance to fight against Penny.

"There is no University of Memphis among the opponents in the preseason, which means that if you want to play against Penny, you will have to go to March Madness at the earliest."

It is too difficult for the Crazy Three in the single-elimination format to accurately meet the University of Memphis.

First of all, at the beginning of Crazy Three, 64 teams will be divided into four divisions——

There are four major districts: West District, East District, Southeast District, and Central and West District. There are no rules for the selection committee's divisions.

For example, the defending champion Duke University, they were the top seed in the East last season, but last season, they were the second seed in the Midwest.

With this completely irregular division, the Long Beach campus located on the west coast of the United States has the opportunity to be assigned to a division with the University of Memphis, which is located in the southeast of the United States.

But it's just a chance, and it's more likely that they won't be assigned a partition.

And once Lin Xing can't be divided into a division, if Lin Xing wants to touch Penny, he will win the final semi-finals at the earliest.

There are still many media experts who are optimistic that the University of Memphis can reach the final four in the new season, because last season, the University of Memphis reached the elite eight.

In the new season, Penny goes one step further, taking the University of Memphis one step further.

Such an idea is also reasonable.

But obviously, experts ignored the serious injury season reimbursement of the University of Memphis's second scorer and main power forward David Vaughn last season.

Don't underestimate this David Vaughan, who is far less famous than Penny——

Simply put, people only see the players they want to see play well, but they always forget that basketball is a five-person game.

For the University of Memphis, David Vaughn is not only an important scoring point on the offensive end, but more importantly, the inner hardness and rebound protection he provides is what the University of Memphis relies on.

Just like Long Beach, it seems that Byron Russell doesn't score much, but his defense is an indispensable part.

Without David Vaughan, let alone the Final Four, last season's Elite Eight is probably the final pinnacle of this University of Memphis team.

"If you can't be assigned to a division, don't even think about touching pennies in the NCAA."

"Even if they are assigned to a division, the University of Memphis will be at risk of being eliminated early if they don't match up in the first round..."

After such an analysis, Lin Xing found that, at least in the NCAA stage, it would be difficult for him to confront Penny Hardaway head-on.

Unable to fight Penny head-on, wanting to quell the current frenzied storm of public opinion——

Or, we can only wait for the current NCAA season to end, and Penny will go to the NBA, so that his fans can take the initiative to look away from Lin Xing;
Or, Lin Xing can only attack other truly innocent opponents and spread the fire on irrelevant people,

As long as his performance is as good as the opening game, and lasts until the crazy three, no matter how unwilling Penny fans are to admit it, they must hold their noses and admit: Lin Xing definitely has the ability to match Penny!
Lin Xing's style of dealing with things has always been tough, and he pays attention to revenge.

Therefore, it is impossible for him to choose the first one, and the only way he wants to go is the second one.

That night, in Laramie, Wyoming, in this preseason game against the University of Wyoming, Lin Xing punched hard.

The level of heavy punches was reached, and the teammates were all at a loss.

On one play, Lucios Harris happened to catch the ball and was about to hit one himself.

At the top of the arc, Lin Xing glared at him and asked for the ball again.

Lucios was very wronged, didn't he agree that in the next game, the ball doesn't have to pass through the hands of Team Ba Lin?
After a crushing offensive round, Byron Russell patted him and said, "Don't guess what the tyrant is thinking."

Sparrow food, don't guess, you can't figure it out.

As the saying goes, companions are like companions to tigers!

Compared with Santa Clara University in the opener, the University of Wyoming is indeed very weak.

The strength of the core players, even compared to Santa Clara University, still has a big gap.

But Lin Xing still saw a familiar face in the opponent's lineup.

"Isn't this Theo Ratliff? The future NBA shot blocker!"

Ratliff is the starting center of the University of Wyoming. After this game, Lin Xing was capped.

This made him realize that this guy is indeed the future NBA shot-blocking king.

But at this time, Ratliff's small skills are outrageous, and his height of 2 meters does not have much advantage in the NCAA.

Count on him to fly to the University of Wyoming at this time?Don't even think about it.

The opponent's weakness can be seen at a glance. Lin Xing, who hit hard, once again scored 34 points, 4 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals.

John Bayless, who was sitting in the commentary seat, continued to brag about Lin Xing without changing his mind:

"Two consecutive high-efficiency output games, Star-Lin has embarked on his NCAA superstar road, comparable to Anfernee Hardaway is definitely not a match...

For those who are still questioning him, remember, game after game, your face is the same! "

But after the game, public opinion was still one-sided.

The Orange County Register once again put Long Beach in the headlines, and as in the previous game, they repeated John Bayless's remarks.

Then, the discussion among the fans is still——

"If I were Anfernee, I'd feel sick."

"Pence just wants to play basketball well. Lin Xing and John Bayless are all about touching other people and getting famous for it."

"As a magician of the new generation, Penny's playing style is very smart. I fell in love with him the first time I watched his game, Lin Xing? He is far worse than Penny."

Lin Xing couldn't see these discussions, but John Bayless, who could see them, wanted to laugh.

"This group of so-called Penny fans definitely didn't watch Lin's game. If they did, they would never be able to say that Lin is far worse than Penny."

In his mind, Lin Xing's various dunks, various inhuman lingering in the air, various cross-steps, and a small number of eye-catching passes flashed by in his mind.

In terms of agility, maybe Lin Xing is not so agility.

Lin Xing's playing style only gave John Bayless one kind: violent, explosive, and bursting beauty.

If you have to compare the style of play, Bayless prefers Lin Xing's style of play.

Considering that it is difficult for everyone to agree, Bayless just thinks:

There is absolutely no difference in grade between Penny and Lin Xing in their style of play.

Even if there is, it must be Lin Xing who is better.

Unlike Bayless, who has more channels, Lin Xing can only see the discussions of various sports channel experts and football critics.

Like after this game, he turned on the TV in the hotel and stopped on NBC Sports.

He saw a brickman named Henry Abbott on the TV, played a segment of the game where Lin Xing was capped, and then mocked:
"Look, this freshman point guard, who is comparable to Anferney, was actually beaten head-on by an unknown center!"

"Look at that big hat. Does it look like a slap in the face to John Bayless?"

"Genius? Is this a genius comparable to Anferni's?"

"Anferni will never be blooded by such an unknown center!"

Lin Xing frowned, wanted to laugh, but didn't want to, his expression was distorted.

After reading this paragraph, he called John Bayless.

After Laramie's meeting, the two exchanged contact information.

Although he is very reluctant, the fact is that Lin Xing and John Bayless are on the same front.

The two must increase communication and interaction in order to understand the latest battle situation.

"The current situation, simply put, is that Penny's fans will not make a special trip to watch your game, because in these two games, Long Beach's opponents are too weak."

"They don't watch the game. No matter how good your performance is, you will only have empty statistics."

"Of course, when there are data, they will avoid the data, start from the style of play and past achievements, continue to belittle you and raise pennies."

"So now, you really need a strong duel."

John Bayless's mind is very clear. On the phone side, Lin Xing touched his chin: "Is it a strong matchup? Is Oregon State considered a strong team?"

"Oregon State? They've got Scott Haskin, uh, kinda..."

Bayless pondered for a moment, and then explained: "Although they have Scott Haskin, they may not even be able to make it into the Crazy Three in the Pacific Ten Schools League."

"However, the attention of this game should be able to increase."

"Penny's supporters really want to see you deflated. As long as the opponent is a little stronger, they will rush over and wait to see you deflated."

"The next game, NBC TV will most likely broadcast your game."

"And with a high probability, they will also invite me to join the commentary seat."

"If there is news, I will notify you as soon as possible."

Whether it is Lin Xing or Bayless, they are very clear that this dispute is not only a crisis for them, but also an opportunity.

Lin Xing can rely on this dispute to win a lot of exposure and attract the attention of the NBA.

As long as he succeeds, the next time experts, ball critics, and NBA scouts mention him again, he will definitely be the No. [-] pick in the NBA draft.

John Bayless can also use this dispute to get out of Los Angeles and go to the United States.

Crisis and opportunity coexist, Lin Xing looks far away——

"Just start at Oregon State!"

"Don't worry, come one by one..."
