This Forward is Not Serious

The American media also exploded here, but it is just the opposite of the domestic one.

"Crude, brutal basketball."

They are roughly such an evaluation.

Well-known mouth Bill Simmons even said that the Chinese men's basketball team won the game in an "ugly" way, and described Jonas as a barbarian from Lithuania.

However, because it had nothing to do with Lin Ying, the Nuggets didn't have much reaction to this wave.

Except that Carl made a phone call and asked him to pay attention to his personal safety and not to participate in fights or anything.

Of course Lin Ying agreed.

However, he still asked Zhu Fangyu for some boxing skills in private.

After all, he's going to play with Carmelo Mobster Anthony next season!

Consider last season's Madison Square Garden brawl.

Mentally prepared to do enough.

Then, this became the main theme of Lin Ying's summer league this time.

The opponent of the men's basketball team in the second game was the Kings.

And I don't know if it was because of the "accident" of the last game, this time the opponent was temporarily transferred.

They were originally arranged to play the Clippers, but they didn't know it was the Kings before the game started.

In this game, Yunus continued to inspect the players. Lin Ying and Sun Yue did not start, and they did not play for a long time.

In the end, the Chinese team lost to the Kings 47 to 73.

The strength of this Kings team is stronger than yesterday's Grizzlies, and Yi Jianlian is not in a good state. He only scored 9 points and 7 rebounds on 2 of 14 shots.

The Chinese team had 38 fouls and 25 turnovers, and it is reasonable to lose.

But although the team lost, Wang Zhizhi performed well.

Since Lin Ying spent most of her time sitting off the court, she had more time to carefully observe Wang Zhizhi's skills.

Then he discovered that Wang Zhizhi's being the first to land in the NBA was not simply a matter of exploring the Chinese market.

Metaphorically speaking, his offensive footsteps are like waltzing.

Delicate, delicate, yet elegant.

Among other things, if his defense can reach the average level of the NBA insider, it is absolutely no problem to play a rotation in the NBA, and even a weak team can play as a starter.

After the game, Lin Ying consulted with Wang Zhizhi privately about the details of insider skills.

Zhu Ba can box and Wang Zhizhi can dance. These are good things, and the opportunity should not be missed.

However, after the game, there was another wave of explosions on the American media side.

This time they are gloating, the feeling is:

Let me just say, they can only win games by brute force! No team can beat them really well!

You savage sister!

The men's basketball players were very angry after reading the report. They said they were 15 points behind when they beat the Grizzlies!

This also made Yunus a little angry.

Originally, he was only here to inspect the players, but the prejudice of the American media made him unbearable.

So in the third game against the Cavaliers, he directly arranged the starting lineup of Yi Jianlian, Lin Ying, Zhu Fangyu, Wang Shipeng, and Sun Yue.

This lineup looks young, but with Zhu Fangyu and Wang Shipeng in charge, the experience is actually not bad.

And more importantly defensively, Lin Ying and Sun Yue have proven to be a very good defensive combination.

Although Yi Jianlian's words are stronger in offense than defense, they are definitely better than Wang Zhizhi.

So as long as they play a good offense, this lineup is not bad at all.

Then, under Lin Ying's organization and mobilization, their offense was really good!

As a result, they suppressed their opponents throughout the entire game, and finally defeated their opponents 73 to 61, ushering in a hearty victory!

This time the American media was all quiet.

But the domestic fans are boiling!

Especially the three rookies Lin Ying, Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue performed very well!

Don't mention next year's Olympics, the future of men's basketball can be expected!

What's more interesting is that after the first fight, in order to avoid similar incidents, the NBA invited the injured Yao Ming to the scene.

It turned out to be better now, and Yao Ming laughed embarrassingly on the sidelines for the whole game.

All of them are alive and well, and they will be very successful in next year's Olympic Games!

Of course, what comforted him even more was Lin Ying, who communicated a lot with the national team teammates during the game.

Although it is only on the court, it has changed a lot compared to the NCAA period.

And it may be that Lin Ying also likes to ask these big brothers for advice. Zhu Fangyu, Wang Zhizhi and the others like Lin Ying very much!

In the next few days, the men's basketball team played against the Knicks and Celtics one after another.

Because the opponents of these two teams are relatively strong, the men's basketball team failed to win in the end.

However, in the game against the Knicks, Lin Ying played well, making 4 of 5 three-pointers, scoring 23 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 blocks and 2 steals.

The men's basketball summer league can be said to be quite profitable.

Not only has the goal of military training been achieved, but by the way, the embarrassing record of no victory in history has been broken, and two wins have been won at once.

Jonas' relaxed expression and Yao Ming's awkward smile are the best portrayal of this summer league trip.

And after this wave of summer leagues, Lin Ying's popularity has increased a lot.

Especially in the game against the Knicks, in addition to being extremely accurate in three-pointers, he also had a very beautiful low turn and breakthrough dunk.

What can be clearly felt is that compared to the NCAA, Lin Ying seems to have developed a certain low-level breakthrough ability.

This makes the outside world question his draft report "potential" rating.

Then Duffy got busy.

Businessmen are very realistic.

If they don't see value in you, they won't bet lightly.

For example, Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian, who also have the Chinese market, most sneaker manufacturers will only look for Yi Jianlian and not Sun Yue.

Even in theory, as a defender, Sun Yue should sell more shoes.

But the more realistic situation is that as a second-round pick, Sun Yue is still not sure that he can land in the NBA!

Similarly, although Lin Ying is a rookie with the 9th pick, her actual pick is higher than the predicted pick, and there are many unknowns.

Therefore, most sneaker manufacturers are holding a wait-and-see attitude.

However, after this summer league, Lin Ying played quite well, especially the game against the Knicks.

This makes those sneaker manufacturers a little bit overwhelmed.

Although these few games are not enough to prove that Lin Ying will be able to play, after all, the data of the summer league is not very meaningful.

However, Lin Ying is playing for the Chinese national team, and the stats generated by rushing out to other summer league teams are not the same.

After these few games, at least it can show that he still has potential!

Even, according to some fans, Lin Ying's performance was even better than Yi Jianlian of the same team!

So, at this time, they shifted from waiting and watching to "first come, first served"!

Duffy also behaved very professionally at this time, and he did not refuse anyone who came to negotiate, including Peak, Anta, Li Ning, etc. in China.

However, he is not in a hurry to make a decision.

This is the same as he was not in a hurry to endorse Lin Ying and the others in advertising.

The sooner you sign a sneaker contract, the more you lose.

Especially when Lin Ying had just shown her talent, anyone who was stupid would sign.

Waiting for the price to sell is the kingly way.

...

After the summer league ended, Yao Ming organized the whole team to have a meal at Yao restaurant in Houston.

He couldn't stop being happy during the meal, I'm afraid this embarrassing smile won't last.

And there was an episode at the dinner table.

Because they are all Chinese, Yao Ming specially asked the back chef to serve tofu nao.

Bowls of sweet tofu were served, and Liu Xiaoyu and the others from the north were dumbfounded.

Shouldn't this...tofu nao be served with mustard soy sauce and chili?

Ever since, in the debate about sweet tofu nao or salty tofu nao, this national team showed an unprecedented harmonious atmosphere.

After the dinner, Lin Ying bid farewell to the big brothers of the national team, and also accepted a series of gifts from them.

For example, the boxing gloves given by Zhu Fangyu;

Wang Zhizhi sent a picture of the Roaring Tiger Mountain Forest, saying that he used to like to play with it.

A sports watch given by Wang Shipeng, said to allow him to accurately time the time during training and exercise his big heart ability.

...

All in all, although Lin Ying doesn't talk much, she has no pretensions as the No. 9 pick in the NBA, and she still asks for advice from time to time.

Regardless of what you learn, this attitude is very attractive.

The gifts Lin Ying got after leaving the national team represented their love for Lin Ying.

After finishing the journey of the summer league, Lin Ying also officially started the summer special training.

He brought in Phil Handy again.

It's just that this time it's not just Handy, but also the Nuggets' assistant Jay Ryan O'Connor.

This O'Connor is no ordinary assistant coach, he is the first foreign assistant coach in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team, and he is a standard China hand.

Now, he is the first assistant coach of the Nuggets, especially good at player training.

Just like what Duffy said at the beginning, the Nuggets traded Camby for him, which meant that they paid enough attention to him.

In the training hall of the Pepsi Center, O'Connor sat down with Lin Ying and Handy to chat about the planning of Lin Ying's rookie season.

What he said was basically discussed by the management and the coaching staff.

Lin Ying will play an important role in the Nuggets in his rookie season. Although he will not be able to start for the time being, he will play a lot of time.

And because of the Nuggets' unique defensive counterattack tactics, they will blur Lin Ying's position and swing between the third and fourth positions.

In other words, he sometimes needs to appear as Martin or Nene's substitute fourth position, and sometimes needs to be Anthony's substitute third position.

Even, when the team has an injury, he has to be able to start as the third and fourth positions!

And to do this, Lin Ying had to raise her requirements in many aspects.

For example, his speed must be able to keep up with the general 3rd position, and his confrontation must be able to withstand the general 4th position.

This will be quite a challenge for Lin Ying.

Because there are too many players who have changed from being trifling to dubious these days.

"We have carefully observed your Crazy Three's game, and think that the scouts' rating of your potential during the draft was seriously underestimated, and you have a greater possibility."

But like O'Connor said, the Nuggets recognize his potential.

After the positioning is clear, the next step is training.

Handy also followed O'Connor's request to develop a new training plan.

This time it is no longer a simple addition of base points, but a targeted addition of base points.

First of all, Lin Ying will carry out appropriate weight gain, increasing to about 103 kg.

This will make his speed drop slightly, but not by much.

And if Lin Ying's speed is measured by the inside line, it is excellent in itself.

But this allows him to continue to improve his confrontation to ensure that he can withstand the general four positions.

In fact, Marion's weight was about the same, and Lin Ying was taller than him.

Then, core strength training cannot be interrupted, and speed is also the focus of training.

In addition to these two, Handy also affirmed Lin Ying's previous idea and asked him to train low-post turn breakthrough skills.

At the same time, he also asked Lin Ying to start shooting training for low turnaround jump shots.

Although O'Connor said that Lin Ying can be three or four, but because Anthony will play for a long time, Lin Ying actually plays the fourth position most of the time.

So even if the effect cannot be achieved in a short period of time, the necessary four-position skills must be practiced.

This is also the reason why he would rather let Lin Ying sacrifice a little speed to fight more.

Lin Ying gave him a lot of money, he must think more about Lin Ying!
