Chapter 16 New Era Magician!
"UCla starting point guard Lin Rui has the potential to enter the NBA."
On an ESPN program in the evening, when talking about NCAA news, experts were willing to focus part of their attention on Lin Rui.
"This little guy scored dunks in the first five rounds of the game. Before watching him play, no one would have thought he was a point guard."
"At 2.05 meters tall, it makes it easy for fans in Los Angeles to think of Magic."
“He was decisive about the game’s trend on the court.”
"Of course, we still need to remain rational. This is just his first college game. Ucla's opponent, University of Oregon, is not a strong team. Lin still needs to show more potential, such as shooting. In the first game, he didn't shoot much, and maybe he was not confident in his long shots."
"It doesn't matter if you can't shoot from a long time. You may practice slowly. His height is a misplaced person to play the point guard."
Indeed, as experts discussed, Lin Rui played too few games and needed more reference samples.
However, with his performance on the first day, Lin Rui still became the best star of NCAA yesterday among major media titles.
Los Angeles fans and media all like to discover basketball geniuses and are happy to meet a new superstar embryo.
Lin Rui's social platform has also increased rapidly, from double-digit to five-digit, which is almost an explosive increase.
Lin Rui knew very well that before there were other incomes, advertising revenue on social media could also make his economy more prosperous. Therefore, he attached more importance to improving his fame than other star players.
Social platforms can also help him create momentum in the future during the draft.
Lin Rui's attention has increased very quickly, and some media expressed concerns about the huge increase in Lin Rui's attention.
These media believe that excessive attention can easily put pressure on Lin Rui to play basketball.
Lin Rui's starting lineup is not stable. If he performs poorly in one or two games due to high pressure, he will easily be kicked out of the starting lineup and then enter a vicious cycle...
Lin Rui laughed at the remarks of these media.
Lin Rui will continue to use his stable performance to tell them that such attention is not pressure for him, but not worthy of his strength!
September 13.
The UCLa Bruins challenge Arizona State away.
Now the main core of Arizona State is not James Harden.
James Harden is still in his senior year.
Arizona State Head Coach Sandeck said: "Lin is a very talented point guard, but his importance cannot be compared with Aaron Afraro. The main trouble in our game is Afraro."
Lin Rui only performed well in one game, and Sandek still felt that he should pay more attention to Avraro.
Sandeck's judgment was incorrect.
With Avlaro's performance incredibly poor, UCL still suppressed Arizona in this game.
"Lin Rui's breakthrough is very sharp. With the help of UCL teammates, he can always create one-on-one opportunities. Lin Rui often eats match-up players raw."
"Lin Rui is too fast, and the Arizona State guard can't keep up with his beat."
"Arizona State's big attack on Lin Rui was attacked, but Lin Rui easily cracked it. His vision can help his teammates who are in the open space easily."
"Just 5 minutes into the second half, Lin Rui got off the court like the previous game. Lin Rui scored 22 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks in 23 minutes. Such a game is too easy for him."
UCLa defeated Arizona State 81-47 without bloodshed.
After defeating Arizona State University, UCL continued to play against Washington University away.
Washington University has a potential rookie, Spencer Hawyth.
Hawyce is 2.16 meters tall and weighs 116 kilograms. He is a power forward. When Spencer Hawyce was in high school, he led the school team to win the Washington State championship.
Lin Rui's highlights of two games allowed him to quickly enter the field of vision of a large number of scouts. In the latest draft website prediction, Lin Rui also ranked 58th in the second round.
Lin Rui enjoyed the benefits of huge attention from Los Angeles by predicting that he would be selected by just two games.

"Tactic No. 2!"
"Tactic No. 2!"
Lin Rui kept commanding on the court.
As his experience on the field gradually becomes richer, Lin Rui's understanding of tactics has become more thorough.
As a point guard, Holland gave Lin Rui the first priority not to score himself, but to ask him to connect the team first.
Tactic No. 2 is a tactic specially designed for Avraro.
Avraro will cut in through the position without the ball, and Lin Rui simultaneously uses the pick-and-roll breakthrough to give the ball to Avraro.
This tactic requires a high level of demand for point guards.
Because of accidental accident, both Lin Rui and Avraro would be covered by Hawys' long arms.
Devin is the starting point guard at the University of Washington, and he is staring at Lin Rui very seriously.
UCLa's sufficient offensive time allows Lin Rui to avoid rushing to make offensive choices.
Devin chose to defend Lin Rui by letting him go two steps, because according to his observation, Lin Rui used a lot of breakthroughs in the first two games, and he came up with the judgment that Lin Rui was not confident in his shooting ability.
Lin Rui did not shoot rashly, but called for the big man's cover.
With the center forward, Lin Rui accelerated to start, Dewen's horizontal movement was blocked, and Lin Rui broke through.
The next step is very simple. Hawys assisted in defending Lin Rui and Avraro cut inward at the same time.
Lin Rui was marching and gave it to Avraro without looking at the attack. Avraro easily scored the basket.
UCLa's tactics can easily run.
"UClah's tactical thinking is very clear. They know how to attack the University of Washington inside."
"Although the opponent gave Lin Rui a step to shoot, Lin Rui still easily broke the opponent's defense with the help of pick-and-roll."
Holland applauded on the sidelines, and he was very satisfied with Lin Rui's performance in these games.
He knew very well that Lin Rui did not have the ability to shoot, but that Lin Rui saw a more relaxed way to score.
Of course, Lin Rui still has a disadvantage in Holland's opinion, that is, his movements are too fancy. It is meaningless to move his backhand and not look at people without looking at people. He can clearly give it to Avraro directly...
The viewing performance of the game is indeed good, but it is easy to increase mistakes.
....
....
There weren't many surprises in the game against Washington University.
Ucla successfully won 76 to 56.
UCLa quickly achieved a three-game winning streak in NCAA's new season.
Lin Rui played for 25 minutes on this night, scoring luxurious data of 14 points, 10 assists, 5 rebounds, 4 steals, 3 blocks, and 4 turnovers.
This is Lin Rui's first double-double.
Lin Rui also showed more of his passing ability in this game.
Lin Rui's fame gradually improved as the competition progressed.
After three games, he became a point guard in the pac-12 league that cannot be ignored by his opponents.
After defeating the University of Washington.
UCLa defeated Stanford University, the University of Arizona, and doubled the University of Colorado...
In the first eight games of the PAC-12 league, UCL won eight consecutive victories in a round and ranked first in the rankings.
As the game progresses, Lin Rui also demonstrates his talents and abilities more comprehensively.
In the first four rounds of games, Lin Rui rarely made outside shots, which led to his opponent's belief that he had no shooting ability.
So, in the last four rounds of the game, the opponent prevented him from making a big move. Lin Rui made a shooting percentage of 24 of 30 shots in four games...
This made the media and fans who thought he was not good at shooting.
Lin Rui also averaged 20 points, 7 assists, 6 rebounds, 3 steals, 2 blocks and 3 turnovers in the first eight games.
Such data is enough for Lin Rui, who is just a freshman, to compete for the title of NCAA's strongest newcomer.
