Chapter 1 My Teammate is Durant(1/3)
…
Austin, Texas.
Lin Ying leaned against the wall and looked out the window, sitting on the bed in the dormitory to rest.
His current place is the University of Texas at Austin.
The University of Austin, also known as the University of Texas, is the most well-known school in the University of Texas system and one of the original eight institutions of the most prestigious "Public Ivy" in the United States.
The reason why he is here is not because of how good his studies are, but because he is 2.01 meters tall and has a wingspan of 2.20 meters. He is a member of the Horns basketball team of our school.
The number one sport in the United States is football, and school football is even more popular among the people.
However, in Texas, the influence of basketball is not inferior to that of football.
Because Texas has the "Big Three": the Dallas Mavericks, the Houston Rockets and the San Antonio Spurs.
These three teams combined have multiple championships in hand, and they are perennially capable teams in the playoffs and even championships in the NBA.
As the capital of Texas, Austin does not have an NBA team, but the basketball atmosphere is equally strong.
The reason, is the Longhorns.
As the only NCAA Division I team in Texas, it is very popular locally.
"Ying, I knew you were here. Quick, let me show you something."
At this moment, the dormitory door was pushed open.
Lin Ying turned around when he heard the sound.
He has a handsome face and the temperament of a migrant worker.
It was his roommate who came in, or more accurately his high school teammate Kevin Durant.
The two were teammates at Christian College for one year and then attended the University of Texas together.
Today is their first day at the University of Texas.
"What?"
Lin Ying looked confused.
Because he found that Durant turned around and locked the door after he finished speaking!
American university dormitories are basically contracted to outside companies for commercial operation. Except for a small number of schools that have bunk beds, most of them are two beds for two people in a dormitory with two sets of tables and chairs, similar to an express hotel.
The University of Texas is also in this configuration.
After Durant locked the door, he walked to Lin Ying and sat down, then opened his phone and put it in front of the two of them.
That is a website, and once you click on it, you will see some content that makes people secrete adrenaline rapidly.
Durant adjusted the volume on his phone and clicked on one of them.
"I found this today, the plot is great!"
Durant came over and lowered his voice and said.
In the mobile phone screen, a flight attendant still wearing professional attire was dragging her suitcase and twisting and walking on the road...
Lin Ying was speechless for a while.
In broad daylight, Durant came in with a mysterious look on his face and showed him this thing?
"Kevin, stop looking at this kind of stuff."
Lin Ying stared at the phone screen and said.
"I know, but this is really awesome, look at this figure."
As Durant spoke, he stretched out his hand to rub his nose, and then swallowed.
"stop looking."
"knew."
"I seriously don't look at it."
"Well, it's so big."
…
Half an hour later, both of them were already flushed and breathing rapidly.
"Bah!"
Just then there was a knock on the door, and Durant was so frightened that he almost dropped the phone in his hand.
He quickly hid his cell phone under Lin Ying's quilt, moved his crotch, took a deep breath, and then stood up to open the door.
"Kevin, Coach Springman asked you to come over."
The knock on the door was their teammate and freshman guard DJ Augustin.
The two chatted for a while, then Durant turned around and said hello to Lin Ying, then closed the door and left.
…
Half an hour later, Durant returned to the dormitory and found that the dormitory door was locked.
He knocked on the door for a while, and Lin Ying opened the door with a flushed face.
"Why did you lock the door again?"
Durant looked confused.
"I just slept for a while."
Lin Ying explained casually and handed the phone to Durant.
"Don't look at it anymore."
When Durant came in and closed the door, he warned again.
Durant nodded and realized that he didn't take his phone with him.
And why does this phone feel...a little wet?
"What's wrong with my cell phone..."
"What did Coach Springman say?"
Lin Ying asked first.
"Oh, I almost forgot! He told us to prepare ourselves. In the first training session, we will have a full-court confrontation with the seniors."
Durant put the phone back in his pocket, patted his head and said.
Lin Ying nodded after listening. It seemed that the coaching staff was preparing to give the new students a kick.
"This is Coach Barnes' arrangement. Ross gave me some ventilation in advance."
Durant continued.
The NCAA, like the NBA, has a full coaching staff.
For the Longhorns, the head coach is Rick Barnes, the assistant coach is Ross Springman, and in addition there is strength and conditioning coach McGee Wright.
Durant was already the third-best high school student in the country before coming to the University of Texas. It took Springman more than two years to recruit him.
So in terms of relationship, Springman and Durant are very close.
"We must win this game!"
Durant talked to himself and said firmly.
Although the University of Texas is not as famous as Duke and North Carolina, it has produced many NBA players in history.
The latest is the Texas trio that graduated just last year: Daniel Gibson, P.J. Tucker and LaMarcus Aldridge.
Last year they led the team to the NCAA Elite Eight, and all three of them entered the NBA.
But this is where Durant's confidence lies.
Although they are all newcomers, the three core members of the team have left the team now, so their chances of winning are very high.
Especially since he and Lin Ying have been teammates together since their senior year of high school, and they have a perfect understanding.
Lin Ying nodded, this was an excellent opportunity for them to show their ability and gain the coach's trust.
But he didn't say anything further.
He has a very withdrawn personality, so he can be more relaxed when he is with Durant.
There was no class this afternoon, so they changed their equipment and got ready to go to the gym.
It was at this time that Lin Ying noticed that Durant took out the pair of long basketball socks from the 1970s.
When he was in high school, he noticed that Durant wore these socks in almost every game. Unexpectedly, he still wore them in college, and finally couldn't help but be curious:
"Why do you always wear this?"
But he didn't expect that he would ask Durant into silence.
To be continued...
