Chapter 59 You Need to Gain Weight

After all, the Bobcats are a new team in the league. If they get Lin Yu, Charlotte's basketball market will definitely be activated quickly.

Small markets are not without potential. After all, the Cavaliers are an example.

Before James went there, the attendance was very poor, but now it is basically full.

Moreover, James' exposure is definitely not less at present.

Just when Stern was hesitating about who to sign the No. 1 pick to.

Houston.

Tony looked at the modern stadium in front of him, his mouth wide open and his face full of surprise.

"I can't believe we are training in one gym. It's like a dream!"

"You are so unsophisticated. The Demon Deacons' arena I'm in is much bigger than this."

A 183cm-tall man had a look of disdain on his face, but the shock in his eyes still showed that he was not at peace inside.

Roy, who was standing by, had a look of anticipation on his face: "I wonder what the level of an NBA-level trainer will be like."

After the three of them walked into the gym, they saw Lin Yu who had already started training in the center of the court.

"Lin, your shooting is accurate, but your shooting speed is not fast enough."

"You can rely on your talent in the NCAA to defeat all the opponents you meet, but it's different in the NBA. They will analyze you more thoroughly and constantly study your weaknesses."

"..."

Lin Yu and Qiao Abassa stopped talking when they saw the three people coming.

When Joe Abassa saw the three people coming, the smile on his face became even more intense.

As a trainer, the greatest achievement is naturally to train a superstar.

And now there are two talented players, how can Joe Abasa not be excited?
Tony: Why two?
Paul: What about your own talent? Don’t you have any idea of ​​it?
The training team arranged by Bill Duffy for Lin Yu has now been formed.

Bill Duffy was also very generous. He directly rented a stadium in Houston for Lin Yu to use for training.

As for why it was Houston, Bill Duffy knew that Lin Yu had few relatives in Meili's home, so he arranged for him to live closer to Dayao.

Lin Yu considered that it would be boring to train alone, facing the basket and the trainer for several months.

I discussed with trainer Joe Abaza whether I could get a few more friends to come and train together.

Just like James organized a training camp during the offseason and called a bunch of good brothers to train.

Joe Abaza naturally would not object.

So, Lin Yu called Tony and then tried to invite some other players. In the end, only Paul and Roy came.

After the physical examination of the three people, Joe Abaza quickly started training the four of them.

"Lin, you have great talent, but you must now strengthen your post-up skills. In this era of inside shooting, it is difficult to grow into a superstar without an excellent post-up!"

There is actually nothing wrong with Joe Abassa's opinion at the moment.

Although Lin Yu can actually develop in the direction of a magician now.

But now is an era of insiders!

At this point, many fans may say, Jordan and Magic were not inside players either, but they still won the championship, right?
During the Magic Johnson era, the Lakers had Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the paint.

The Bulls also have a "Worm" Rodman in the interior.

From the time when Jordan retired to the time when Lin Yu traveled through time, which championship-winning team did not have an All-Star inside player?
The Spurs have Duncan and the Admiral.

The Lakers have Shark now and will have Big Boss in the future.

The Celtics have Garnett.

The Heat have a Bosh.

The Cavaliers have Love.

The Warriors have Draymond Green.

Needless to say, the Raptors have Ibaka and his wife.

In addition, the small ball era has not yet arrived, and the league can only be described as eager for the inside line. This is why, even though Lin Yu can play the No. 1 position now, both the media and the coach Bill Duffy found for him are more inclined to inside players.

"In addition to developing your post-up game, my advice is that you should continue to gain weight. I think around 110kg is a good size for you."

"Gaining weight will definitely reduce your speed and jumping ability, but your strength and confrontation will also increase, which can help you better adapt to the NBA."

After all, humans are humans, not gods or supernatural beings.

It is normal for speed and bounce to decrease after gaining weight.

"I think 110KG is OK, but this weight may be a little too little."

If Lin Yu remembers correctly.

In order to better play the power forward position during his time with the Heat, James' weight should increase to 115KG.

"That's about it for now, my opinion is that you need to find a way of defending that suits you.

"Lin, you have the speed, bounce and wingspan, I think you have the advantage to be an excellent help defender, not just an excellent single defender."

"Every player has different characteristics. If you play center, you can gain weight, but if you play the power forward position, you don't need to gain weight blindly."

Joe Abasa gave his opinion on Lin Yu's current situation.

Lin Yu also felt that what Joe Abassa said made sense. There was really no need for him to gain weight to 115KG in one go.

After finalizing the training plan, Lin Yu began to gain weight and start training at the same time.

Days pass by.

During this period, Yao Ming also came to see Lin Yu specifically. Yao Ming had nothing else to do, and was mainly concerned about the Olympics.

After all, Lin Yu is currently a hot candidate for the top spot, and his strength is also very strong.

The men's basketball team naturally cannot ignore Lin Yu.

And Lin Yu would naturally not refuse such a thing as bringing glory to the country.

After making an agreement with Yao Ming to attend the men's basketball training camp together in early July, Lin Yu continued his training.

At this time, the NBA regular season officially ended.

Overall, this life is not much different from what Lin Yu remembered, except that the Cavaliers entered the playoffs.

In the original history, the Cavaliers had 35 regular season wins and ranked ninth in the Eastern Conference, just one win behind the Celtics who were eighth in the Eastern Conference.

In this history, the Celtics started to play badly because of Lin Yu, and the Cavaliers naturally entered the playoffs.

Lin Yu also watched James' first playoff trip with Tony, Paul and Roy.

"Le Brun was beaten so badly!"

"He's a high school rookie after all. If it were me, I wouldn't be so miserable."

"Chris, are you sure you can play better than James against the Pacers' defense?"

Lin Yu felt that if Paul really changed to James' position, he might lose even more miserably than James now.

The Pacers' defense doesn't have much of a problem when it comes to fighting with the ball.

Elbows, throws and flying kicks were directed at James.

James had just entered the league at this time and he had not yet reached his peak, and his opponent was this season's best defensive player, Ron Artest.

The results are predictable...

awful!
Very miserable!

Very miserable!
In the first game, James made 11 of 2 shots and scored 8 points from free throws under Artest's defense.

However, Lin Yu doesn't think that the Cavaliers will be better if Paul is replaced by James. After all, Paul has encountered this kind of high-confrontation defense in his original history.

then……

He was shot down into a 58-gun shell.
