This Forward is Not Serious

4 to 0.

Although the Hornets played a very exciting game in G1, just like the Jazz did against the Warriors before.

But in the end, the Hornets, like the Jazz, were pushed directly after the Nets (Warriors) got into shape.

And it can be clearly felt throughout the series that as Lin Ying's G2 performance knocked Bird off the court, the entire morale of the Hornets never improved again.

There are many ways to win, and Lin Ying chose the one that best reflects his status as the "new forcing king".

The Nets thus became the first team to advance to the conference finals.

With 74 wins in the regular season and all eight games in the playoffs, the Nets' experience this season perfectly illustrates what a "dream season" is.

Whether it is compared to the 72-win Bulls or the 73-win Warriors, they are completely incomparable in this regard.

And more importantly, everyone can see that the Nets have not been forced to exert their full strength.

It's really worth looking forward to what their full output will look like in the playoffs.

…

The advantage of advancing first is that they can get at least two more days of rest.

And because the Knicks and Raptors are still playing inextricably over there, the rest period may be longer.

For veterans like West and Nene, this kind of rest is still very beneficial.

But the bad news is that the easy wins all the way and the long rest period have made the players' physical and mental states somewhat relaxed.

Lu tried to use words to keep the players' morale up, but with little success.

This is not a problem with the Nets players, but it is really not easy to calm down after experiencing these things.

For example, one billion was spent on the demolition of your home, you are as handsome as Wu Yanzhu, you have the same abilities as Superman, you can do seven times a night...

Although the Nets' current experience has not reached that level, their performance so far this season is not much different in the basketball field.

It is really not an easy thing to calm down at this time.

Moreover, the waiting time was too long, and Lu thought it was not a big deal at first.

Then two things happened that made him decide to make some other changes.

The first thing is that the Raptors suffered a comeback from the Knicks with a big lead at home. They had already got the match point, but the Knicks chased the score to 3-3. The two sides will usher in a tiebreaker. Great war.

This also means that the Nets have to continue to rest for at least two days.

The second thing is that the league announced the regular season MVP for the 2016~2017 season.

Lin Ying won the fourth MVP trophy in his career with a total vote rate of over 40% and a unanimous first-place vote.

This season, Lin Ying's statistics have improved significantly compared to last season, averaging 30.5 points, 7.6 rebounds and 6.4 assists per game, shooting 50.2% from the field and 38.6% from three-point range.

At first glance, Lin Ying's statistics have improved, but his hitting rate has declined.

But in fact, Lin Ying averaged 2.6 three-pointers per game this year, and his output has been greatly improved compared to last season.

The Nets have 74 wins, and with this data, Lin Ying's MVP can be said to be no doubt.

The Nets' mentality was already relatively relaxed, but when these two things happened again, the situation became even worse.

Daily locker room conversations have turned into this:

"Do you think we will play the Knicks or the Raptors in the next round?"

"Does it make any difference who you play? Let's pay attention to who our opponent is in the finals!"

"The Spurs have been so aggressive this year. They killed Kobe and the Lakers, which has always been their nemesis, and it was Kobe's last act of madness. Now they are tied 1-1 with the Warriors."

"The good news for the Warriors is that Pachulia is coming back soon, and McGee really doesn't look too smart in front of the Spurs."

"I feel now that it makes no difference whether we play the Spurs or the Warriors in the finals."

…

On this day, Lin Ying got up as usual and prepared to go to the training hall to train.

He glanced at Swift who murmured and was still sleeping, lowered his head and kissed her, then picked up the leftover Fat House Happy water bottle on the bedside from last night and walked out.

When he left the door and saw the trash can on the first floor, he suddenly felt an itch in his heart and threw the bottle into the trash can from a very long distance away.

Everyone who plays basketball has this kind of itchy hand moment, but Lin Ying's itching point is a bit high.

With such a long distance, it takes almost a day to successfully shoot a video for an internet celebrity.

The bottle drew a parabola in the air, and after somersaulting...

binggo!

Got in right away!

This made him a little inexplicably excited.

Could it be because I practiced holding the ball extra last night? My hand feels very hot.

It's a pity that today is not a game day. If this was a game day, then he would have scored 40 or 50 points tonight.

After arriving downstairs, Lin Ying drove to the Barclays Center.

His "Breakfast Club" was still there, and soon after he arrived the others arrived.

That includes Zhou Qi, who is holding an egg in his hand and filling it with cakes.

It's not easy to get this stuff in North America.

After asking about it, Lin Ying found out that his girlfriend specially learned it and made it for him.

What a blessing.

But their breakfast is after training, so he can only reheat the cake and eat it later.

Speaking of which, although Zhou Qi didn't play much in the Nets' season, he really stepped up to the plate at the request of the coaching staff.

Don't think that since the Nets have Durant, Zhou Qi can really move in his direction.

Durant's flexibility and shooting talent at his height are unique.

It is impossible for Zhou Qi to train in that direction. What he can train is more of the role that Yi Jianlian plays in the Wizards now, a 3D pie-eating insider.

After the Nets selected him, their training idea was very clear. They wanted to find a young inside substitute for the Nets who could rotate at the fourth and fifth positions.

As for chicken soup and stuffed pancakes, they are much more nutritious than most breakfasts.

They finished their morning training and took a break after breakfast. Other team members arrived one after another, and Lu also came.

Lu's expression looked a bit serious today, which was a bit different from his usual approachability.

Then his difference quickly became apparent.

In today's training session, Lu suddenly increased the intensity of training.

It seems that after the verbal reminders in the past few days failed to work, he is ready to change to physical ones!

As for whether this will put a physical burden on the team, for a team that has not played for a week, this burden is completely controllable.

It was the sudden increase in training intensity that made the team members complain.

Because this feeling is equivalent to turning your billions of dollars into 100 million, changing your appearance from Daniel Wu to a young face, and your ability to do it in one night has dropped from 7 times to 3 times.

I wouldn't say it was completely uncomfortable, but it was quite uncomfortable.

Moreover, Lu usually has a good relationship with the team members. At this moment, the team members also begged Lu for mercy in a joking tone, hoping to reduce the intensity of training.

However, Lu was determined. Although he did not show off his face, he also asked the team members an almost impossible thing to do.

"Whoever can hit a super long three-pointer in the center circle in one go, that's the end of today's training."

Lu's wave is called polite rejection.

Even if you ask Curry to come, he is not sure that he will hit the ball in the center circle.

"Coach, you just don't want us to rest!"

Durant said with a smile.

"I didn't say that. I'm very reasonable."

Lu said it very righteously.

Now all the team members have is "Come.on" expressions.

"I'll give you three chances. You can try it separately."

Lu is also considerate.

Of course, saying this is still almost the same as not saying it.

Each of the three people has a chance. This is actually just like playing scratch tickets. It looks like there are many chances of winning, but in fact it is almost like none.

"I come."

Durant was the first to stand up.

His teammates also cheered for him.

When it comes to ultra-long three-pointers, the most confident person on the Nets should be Durant.

After all, purely in terms of projection, he is stronger than Lin Yingdu.

"Can I try one?"

Durant looked at Lu with a smile, and he wanted to give himself a chance to win.

Lu shook his head decisively.

Today he is just trying to fix the problem, there is no way.

Durant didn't ask for the opportunity, so he had to come directly.

He adjusted his breathing and walked back for a while to prepare for a run.

"No, not running, I'm talking about shooting."

Lu's purpose is actually very clear, which is to keep the players focused and in game condition.

Durant didn't care anymore at this time. He stood in the center circle, dribbled the ball twice, and then shot it directly.

Only those who have shot in the center circle know how much strength it takes to throw the ball into the frame from this place.

Of course, for NBA-level players, it is relatively easy to hit the frame at this position, but it is still very difficult to make a shot.

The arc of Durant's shot looks very straight.

However, the ball missed the net and almost failed!

It's not that he doesn't have enough strength, it's that he deliberately lowered his strength to make the throw.

Durant couldn't help but shook his head after seeing it. If he was given a few more opportunities to adjust, he would still have a chance to hit.

But if you throw in place, you can't warm up, and you only have one chance, the probability of hitting is really almost like winning a lottery.

"Is there a second person you want to try?"

When Lu said this, he looked at Lin Ying unconsciously.

Although Lu gave three places, he knew that only Durant and Lin Ying had this opportunity.

Lin Ying did not speak.

Of course he knows that the team is a bit impetuous now, and of course he can also feel the purpose of Lu's operation.

So he has no reason to stand up at this time.

Lu was very happy after seeing Lin Ying's reaction.

"If not, then we will continue to practice more."

"have!"

It was Durant who spoke.

"Kevin, I said you only get one chance."

Lu thought Durant was cheating.

"Shadow, it's up to you!"

This guy, as he spoke, habitually knocked Lin Ying out with his shoulder.

Lin Ying: "..."

But before Lin Ying could react, the team members had already started shouting Lin Ying's name.

Lin Ying felt a little helpless, but finally said:

"I come."

Although he didn't want to stop Lu's training plan, he had to stand with the players at this time. There was no way.

And his heart of pretending to be a daily routine is also driving him at this time.

If this can hit with one shot, then the team members will spread it, and it will be another classic.

And there is another thing, that moment when my hands are itchy in the morning, it seems to be a hint.

So, he got the ball.

Moreover, he felt that he had a high probability of being able to do it.

When Lin Ying reached the position in the middle circle, everyone else listened to the cry and looked at Lin Ying intently.

Can Lin Ying do it?

If you look at it purely in terms of difficulty, this is more difficult than Lin Ying scoring another 60+ points in the playoffs.

Because besides strength, luck is too important for this thing.

On the sidelines, the players were all focused, and Durant picked up his phone and prepared the video in advance.

The air in the arena seemed to become tense.

However, Lin Ying seemed to be relatively relaxed. He adjusted his posture, glanced at the basket, and shot directly.

The ball has obvious backspin, and its trajectory is very positive at first sight with Durant.

Of course this is not the point.

The point is, Lin Ying had already turned around and walked towards the bench after finishing his shot.

That look seemed to be saying: What are you looking at? It’s time to get off work!

Lu's expression was stunned for a moment.

"Uh-huh!"

Then, his jaw nearly dropped.

Lin Ying, one shot into the soul!

It’s really time to get off work!

The training hall was instantly filled with cheers and screams from the players.

The next second, Lin Ying was inundated with comments from his teammates and was pushed around.

Especially the one named Durant. Looking at his flushed face, he almost took a sip on Lin Ying's face!

What is hard-core pretense? This wave directly explodes!

Lu wiped his mouth and shook his head helplessly.

Is there anything that Lin Ying can't do?

"After get off work, get off work."

He could only wave his hands at the team members.

The celebration in the training hall lasted for a while, and soon a group of people gathered around Durant to watch the video they had just recorded.

This wave is not only spread by word of mouth, but also with videos!

Durant is no longer willing to be just a spectator, but wants to be a supporter!

Lin Ying glanced at the teammates gathered around him. His mood had calmed down, and he got up and returned to the locker room first.

On the way to the locker room, he saw Lu walking towards this direction.

"I'm sorry, Tyron, I didn't want to either."

Lin Ying looked at Lu with an apologetic expression.

He really didn't want to in his heart, but he was pushed to that position, and he had to get it even if he didn't.

And it's not his style to let loose. If he really gets it right, he will go all out.

"It's okay. This isn't a bad thing. At least I'm sure of one thing."

Lu said with a smile, he didn't look like he was unhappy at all.

"Um?"

Lin Ying looked at Lu suspiciously.

Lu's reaction was something he didn't expect at all.

"I have determined one thing. When the team is really in an unfavorable situation, I can always trust you. That is also a way to solve the problem, isn't it?"
