This Forward is Not Serious

Anta's sales staff were very sharp and launched LinK-3 before the opening game.

As soon as the shoes came out, they instantly detonated the domestic sneaker market.

In addition to breaking the original design concept, the key is that the fan version of this shoe is more accessible than LinK-1 and only costs $69!

It’s even less than 500 yuan in China!

This time there was not only a breakthrough in design, but also in sales ideas.

At this stage in China, the purchasing power of many fans is still relatively low, but even a student can buy a pair of signed sneakers worth 500 yuan!

This is like the newly launched Xiaomi mobile phone, which is amazing.

However, as before, LinK-3 is still available in three models, and the regular model price is still $128, the same as LinK-1.

This kind of design is also a value that maintains the brand, otherwise the price of this shoe will completely drop.

Of course, what remains unchanged in the LinK series is the lottery method. It is still the favorite of the krypton gold card drawing party to get autographs randomly.

Then there are commemorative models.

This commemorative model is also very different from LinK-1. It is a change in color matching. It directly uses a gold upper and a black upper, and the black gold model!

What's even more unique is that the heel position is no longer a metaphorical crown logo, but directly "Lin" on the left shoe and "Emperor" on the right shoe!

Full of Chinese elements!

This commemorative shoe once again detonated the market.

What’s very interesting is that fans in the United States can use some software to grab shoes simultaneously with those in China. This time, more than half of the limited editions have arrived in the United States.

Moreover, the popularity of these shoes is even greater than that of LinK-1. The second-hand shoe market price doubled as soon as they were sold out.

The day before the regular season started, Lin Ying got up early in the morning to prepare for training.

As a result, he received a call from the Anta staff.

Come downstairs and take a look.

Good guy, a whole truckload of shoes!

Well, no need to guess, this is Lin Ying’s advice to Anta’s advertising staff.

Go the Adidas way and leave them with nowhere to go.

The publicity effect is superb.

These shoes are available in the first, second and third generations, of course the main ones are LinK-3, and there are also five pairs of commemorative models.

Commemorative models are expensive but not marketable. Five pairs are quite luxurious, but this is also specially picked out by Anta.

Because Lin Ying had previously worn the LinK-1 commemorative model to great publicity in key matches, so of course this marketing model must be used.

After the photography was finished, Lin Ying asked the staff for a pen, took a pair of commemorative shoes and wrote "To Yang Shuyi" directly on the transparent shoe box, and then asked the staff to send it out.

The previous one was a regular version, so let’s make the little girl a little more happy this time.

If you really choose to take this career path, it is not easy to stick to it.

…

On the evening of October 30, US Airways Center.

The stadium's attendance rate reached about 90%, including a large number of Chinese and Chinese fans.

Lin Yingyang's regular season debut, this is the game that many fans have been waiting for all summer!

CCTV also reached an agreement with the Suns early, and Su Qun and Zhang Weiping took their seats early on the sidelines.

Because of his outstanding performance in the previous preseason, Lin Ying's regular season debut also made domestic fans full of expectations.

In the commentary box, Barkley and Kenny Smith were also ready. Barkley's face turned red and he looked very excited.

Nuggets locker room.

"Mello, I'll take care of Lin."

JR Smith opened his mouth and said to Anthony.

Familiar scenes, familiar painting style, but Kobe has become Lin Ying.

"He doesn't match up with you."

Anthony was unable to complain.

"I can play pick-and-roll with Boris. He can't keep up with me now because of his weight. I can beat him easily."

Smith is confident.

As a former partner, he knew Lin Ying quite well.

Anthony stopped answering.

However, it can be regarded as acquiescence to Smith's statement.

Bell suffered a wrist injury in the preseason and his return date has not yet been determined.

Karl will start with Smith in the opener.

Smith is in good shape in the training camp. It would be good if he can beat Lin Ying twice first to dampen his spirit.

And more importantly, Lin Ying and Smith cooperated well on the court before, and they were also known as the "91 Combination".

But it turns out that Smith is still his little brother and lackey.

Suns locker room.

When Lin Ying took out the commemorative sneakers and put them on, there was a commotion in the locker room.

A group of teammates took various photos of his shoes with their mobile phones, and Richardson even asked Lin Ying to take a few poses to coordinate.

The previous wave of "advertising" was extremely effective, but now the number of likes and retweets on social media is terrifying.

After taking the photos, Richardson sat next to Lin Ying, winked, and asked him if there was any way to get him a pair.

In addition to being a living treasure, this guy is also a "shoe king". He even has a warehouse dedicated to storing sneakers.

"When I win the championship, I will give you this commemorative pair."

Lin Ying was very polite.

"It's a deal."

After hearing this, Richardson excitedly bumped fists with Lin Ying.

Now that the second-hand market is completely out of stock, this LinK-3 is really hard to come by.

What's more, these are the original sneakers worn by Lin Ying!

If I ask him to autograph it again, it will be highly collectible.

For these shoes, he has to do his best this season.

Seeing Richardson leave with satisfaction, Lin Ying smiled and shook his head.

Trading a pair of shoes for Richardson's hard work is not a loss at all.

…

Half an hour before the start of the game, players from both sides began to appear one after another.

When Lin Ying appeared, the photographer at the scene immediately focused on his shoes.

When Lin Ying's commemorative sneakers were projected onto the LED screen, there was a burst of excitement at the scene.

Just like the reaction of everyone in the Suns locker room before, this pair of shoes is now a treasure coveted by many fans!

Lin Ying once again wore it to compete.

Hearing the commotion at the scene, Anthony looked up at the big screen, and then quickly looked back.

He was shooting mid-range shots when he was warming up, and his shots were basically flawless.

Although he chose to gain weight in the summer like Yi Jianlian, his weight gain was not that large and coupled with his top shooting talent, it had almost no impact on him.

Even the increased confrontation gave him more confidence than last season.

The photographer was also very naughty. After giving Lin Ying a shoe shot, he immediately arranged a split warm-up shot between Lin Ying and Anthony.

Stern knew what the fans wanted to see, and so did the photographers.

"Tonight's game is going to be tough for the Suns, and it's going to be a big challenge for Lin."

In the commentary box, Kenny Smith sighed.

In the eyes of the outside world, the original four-party deal with the Suns was about winning the future, while the Nuggets were winning in the present.

"Kenny, I don't think so. The Suns are going to surprise people."

Buckley immediately retorted.

"Charles, we all know you're a Suns die-hard, but we have to tell the truth."

Smith shook his head helplessly. ESPN's predictions this year are still very objective.

"No, Charles Barkley said the Suns are going to surprise people, I'm sure of it!"

Barkley still has a "big mouth" look.

Smith smiled and shook his head at this time.

This time, Barkley didn't communicate with him before the show, but the show was very effective.

Ah, another day when Barkley gets slapped in the face.

When the warm-up was about to end, Lin Ying went over to say hello to Karl.

He didn't care about other people's eyes, Karl was his mentor.

At this time, Nene, Anderson and Billups from the Nuggets all took the initiative to come over and say hello to Lin Ying.

Especially Nenei hugged Lin Ying and chatted for a long time.

The pre-match warm-up is over and the opening ceremony begins.

Nuggets starting lineup: Billups, J.R. Smith, Anthony, Diaw, Nene.

When Lin Ying saw that Bell was not in the starting lineup, Lin Ying suddenly remembered something.

Historically, Bell seems to have only played 6 games in the 2009~2010 season due to a wrist injury?

Because history had changed, he didn't pay attention to this matter.

But if this remains unchanged, then the Nuggets are really...

Aunt Xue is in trouble!

But this cannot be blamed on Walken Dean, Bell was still doing well when he was traded!

After the visiting team came the home team. When Lin Ying came on the court, his performance ignited the emotions of the Phoenix fans.

This is the first time they have seen this kind of touching ceremony mixed with Chinese elements.

Suns starting lineup: Nash, Richardson, Hill, Lin Ying, Stoudemire!

This is also the starting lineup that the Suns used most in the latter few games of the preseason.

As soon as Stoudemire put on his goggles, Lin Ying's thermos cup moved under the stool, and players from both sides appeared on the stage!

The scene once again showed split shots of Lin Ying and Anthony.

The focus battle is about to break out.

Lin Ying and Dio took their seats. Although Anthony's eyes fell on him from time to time, he didn't pay attention.

Win the game and settle any personal grudges!

"beep!"

When the whistle sounded on the sidelines, Stoudemire jumped high and moved the ball back to half court. The Suns attacked first!

There were constant cheers.

The Suns opened the game with a classic pick-and-roll between Nash and Stoudemire.

The Nuggets chose to go around the pick-and-roll, focusing on preventing Stoudemire's attack. However, it took time to go around the pick-and-roll, and Nash decisively shot from mid-range.

"Uh-huh!"

Steady scoring from 180 Club regular members.

Nash started the Suns' new season with the first shot.

Looking back, the Nuggets' selection was a bit unexpected.

Anthony didn't ask for the ball, and even moved to the weak side, while Smith on the strong side was holding the ball!

This is the opening fight against JR!

Lin Ying smelled a hint of familiarity.

JR directly hit Richardson, and after continuous shaking, he broke through and made a sharp turn and jump shot.

This movement was done in one breath, and Richardson did not follow.

"Uh-huh!"

The background and music started, and the soldier knelt down on one knee: Report! General Quentin was killed by JR Hua!

The scene was agitated, and Smith's scoring in the opening game was a bit impressive.

The Suns continued to play pick-and-roll in the frontcourt.

Billups has rich experience and successfully bypassed the front in advance. The pick-and-roll between Nash and Stoudemire did not come into play this time.

But if the Suns' pick-and-roll is so easy to defend, it won't become a classic.

I saw the two pick and roll again. This time Nash knocked the ball forward before it was released. Stoudemire knew that he would grab the ball in advance.

Perfect passing, perfect understanding.

"Snapped!"

But just before the ball reached Stoudemire's hands, Billups intercepted the ball in anticipation!

A hardcore collision between two top point guards!

The Nuggets quickly counterattacked defensively, and Smith still took the lead.

Richardson was hot on his heels.

However, he couldn't catch up.

Anyone who has watched the Nuggets game knows that Smith is a good fast break player!

"Bang!"

A two-handed windmill dunk just before Richardson chased the shot!

The background and music started again, and the soldiers rolled and crawled: retribution! The resurrected General Quentin was killed by JR Hua again!

Smith scored 4 points in a row and activated the Jordan Experience Card at the beginning!

After scoring the goal, Smith looked at Lin Ying with murderous intent in his eyes.

Next round, it's the turn of Lin Ying, his former partner!

Nash controlled the ball to the frontcourt and made tactical gestures. Lin Ying provided an off-ball screen for Richardson, and then dropped to the low post.

Lin Ying's pick-and-roll quality is very good, and Richardson's three-point threat is also great, so the Nuggets can only change.

With this change, Nash stuffed the ball directly into the basket.

Here we go, misplaced singles tactics!

Karl's expression was a little complicated when he saw this.

This is really taken from the Nuggets and used for the Nuggets!

But this actually shows one thing. The core of this tactic is not the tactic, but Lin Ying!

Lin Ying moved quickly, pushed his big butt, dug a position in, and then got up directly.

Originally, this kind of ball could just be hit casually, but Smith was in good form at the beginning and had to suppress it.

Smith tried his best to suck the milk, but of course... he still couldn't hold it back!

"Bang!"

The overlord raised his bow forcefully!

Suppressed by core strength, Smith was directly forcibly dunked!

He only had time to stretch out his hands to protect his face!

Classic 2K Yan button action!

The audience was immediately excited.

Stoudemire also ran up to Lin Ying excitedly and bumped his chest.

Smith, get on top!

He received the ball and saw Anthony asking for the ball but not giving it to him halfway through the ball. He reached out and called Diaw to come out for a pick-and-roll!

When he opened it and faced Lin Ying, his eyes were full of murderous aura.

He can also play mismatched singles!

Continuous large shaking, sudden change of direction started.

Just like what he said before the game, he took advantage of Lin Ying's body...

Hey, I didn’t wander over!

Lin Ying accurately predicted that he would be stuck on his breakthrough route in advance!

What makes Lin Ying strong in defense is not his ability, but his prediction!

Smith was suddenly forced to stop the ball, but he did not give up the attack.

If you couldn't beat Kobe Bryant against the Lakers before, forget it, this is just Lin Ying.

The Haikou boast in front of Anthony must be fulfilled!

After shaking in place, he chose a difficult shot similar to Kobe's.

"Snapped!"

But as soon as the ball left his hand, Lin Ying grabbed it!

Although Smith has a Jordan experience card, no one can imitate Kobe's strong shooting!

Before anyone else could react, Lin Ying took a step forward after landing and quickly took the ball down.

Regarding the benefits brought by improved ball control, the fast break is directly launched from the inside!

Take great strides to reach the top of the world!

Cheers erupted in advance.

Smith was in great form in the front, but Lin Ying pushed him to the ground during his previous attack and defense!

"Bang!"

Lin Ying quickly broke into the frontcourt and performed a double-hand dunk!

The huge impact caused his body to swing around the basket, veins popped out, and the visual effect was full!

"beep!"

Karl directly reached out and called a timeout.

Lin Ying was surrounded by teammates and left the field, and the Suns' bench was in a state of excitement.

Lin Ying also looked comfortable when he sat on the stool.

The feeling of this opening is so cool!

"Lin, you forgot to close the lid."

Nash said, seeing the cup under his stool.

Lin Ying picked up the cup, took a look at it, took a sip, and said with a smile:

"It's okay, the water is still warm."
