This striker is not serious

Stern always likes to create various gimmicks, which is one of the reasons why fans love the NBA.

For example, in this year's opening game, every match he arranged was packed with highlights.

The Lakers face the Mavericks, the Knicks face the Heat, the Bulls face the Grizzlies, and the Suns face the Nets.

In this season that cannot be described in words, Stern opened a full bottle of champagne for you at the beginning.

Phoenix.

The fans who just saw off Lin Ying not long ago are now going to see Lin Ying again.

It's just that this time Lin Ying is no longer their MVP, but his opponent.

It's too early to face Lin Ying with what kind of mentality. What they have to do now is to bring Savor and the management out again and whip the corpse.

That night, American Airlines Center.

The venue was packed with seats.

The fans took their seats early and looked towards the players' tunnel from time to time.

When there was still half an hour before the start of the game, players from both sides began to arrive at the venue one after another.

The camera immediately focused on Lin Ying.

As a former "hero" of Phoenix, he is destined to be the focus of the game tonight.

But the moment Lin Ying appeared in the camera, the scene was filled with excitement.

Lin Ying, changed her hairstyle!

Moreover, it is still a furrow!

With the relationship between Lin Ying and Iverson, plus the news that Iverson had just announced his retirement, it is easy for people to make associations with each other.

Some fans felt as if they had knocked over a seasoning jar, with mixed feelings.

One detail shows that Lin Ying is also a very emotional person.

If the Suns hadn't sent him away, he wouldn't have left the Suns!

They couldn't help but cordially greet Sarver and the team management.

Savor actually came to the scene.

He did not go to the VIP box, but sat in the middle of the auditorium with Blanks, and seemed to be in a good mood.

After the training camp started, he went to see the team's preparations.

The team's morale is still very good, especially Gerald Wallace's surprisingly good condition.

This made him look forward to the new season again.

The players on both sides were warming up on the court, and it was at this time that the camera was shown to the commentary box on the sidelines.

The commentary lineup tonight is also very strong. Although Barkley and Kenny Smith are not here, Steve Kerr and his old partner from TNT, Marv Albert, are here.

Isn’t it interesting?

So fun!

The recently resigned general manager of the Suns is back to commentate on the first game when the core of the Suns team returns to the Suns home court!

You put it here, put it here, put it here!

It's just fun anyway.

The game hasn't even started yet, but Albert is taking the lead and has already started chatting with Cole about Lin Ying.

Of course, Cole was full of praise for Lin Ying, and even talked about the story between Lin Ying and Iverson through the topic of ditches.

And then you realize that's pretty interesting, Cole is a rare all-rounder.

When the pre-game warm-up was about to end, Lin Ying also went to the Suns team to say hello to a group of former teammates.

Although they are no longer a team, the relationship between them will never fade.

“Very cool.”

Nash even didn't forget to praise Lin Ying's new hairstyle.

“Very tense.”

Stoudemire also gave a positive evaluation.

The field of play was led by Allen Iverson in the NBA and has become a representative of male hormones.

After the chat was almost finished, the scene quickly entered the opening ceremony.

Visiting team first, then home team.

Then, at this time, a scene rare in history occurred.

The commentator used the 2010 FMVP introduction when introducing Lin Ying, and the audience also gave explosive cheers for Lin Ying's familiar "kung fu" appearance.

This reaction made Savor frown unconsciously and look around, but the sound persisted.

Phoenix fans will never forget!

Although Lin Ying changed his hairstyle, they will always remember the scene when he defeated the Lakers to help the city win the championship!

Lin Ying didn't expect the fans' reaction to be so big. His emotions were a little out of control, and his eye circles turned red unconsciously.

I don't know if it was because of Iverson's sudden retirement or because of the cheers from the fans in front of him.

Humans are still emotional animals after all!

After the opening ceremony, the lineups of both sides were announced one after another.

Suns: Nash, Allen, Hill, Gerald Wallace, Stoudemire

Nets: Deron, Jimmy Butler, Lin Ying, Yi Jianlian, Chandler

The lineups on both sides are a little different from what ESPN predicted.

However, this should also be some of the effects of the shutdown.

There is no preseason to adjust the lineup, and the coaches can only arrange the lineup based on their short training camp.

Amid the cheers of the fans, Stoudemire jumped high and returned the ball to the Suns' half.

After Nash advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, Stoudemire automatically moved to the free throw line and started a pick-and-roll.

After Lin Ying left, the Suns returned to their familiar classic pick-and-roll mode.

But it was in this round that Chandler showed his excellent mismatch defense ability.

He can't guard the three-point line, but he can completely cover the area inside the free throw line.

Nash's mid-range shot was interfered with!

"Dang!"

Nash's mid-range shot hit the basket!

Yi Jianlian struggled to block Stoudemire under the basket, and Chandler turned around and grabbed the defensive rebound.

Looking back, Deron held the ball at the top of the key and started a pick-and-roll with Chandler.

Chandler was like a thick wall that blocked Nash completely.

I have to say that although the effect against Yao Ming is not very good, Chandler's mobility, pick-and-roll, and even air-cutting awareness are all perfect.

As a player who has won DPOY in history, Chandler is not even a bit better than Camby.

"Dang!"

It's a pity that Deron's touch at the beginning was not very good, and his shots after the pick-and-roll also hit the basket.

This time, Skater protected the defensive rebound, and the Suns quickly launched a defensive counterattack.

Using Wallace at power forward is the small lineup that the Suns used to use before, which is a return to the run-and-gun style they used before.

The Nets' retreat was slow.

Nash deceived Butler on a V-shaped fast break fake fax and sent the ball into the basket at an angle.

2 to 0!

The Suns came out on top.

The opening two rounds became a microcosm of the two teams' opening five minutes.

For the Nets, Deron is very anxious to prove himself.

This is understandable. He averaged 21 points and 10 assists per game with the Jazz last season, but after arriving with the Nets, his numbers became 15 points and 12.8 assists.

It's not that he intentionally suppresses his desire to score and organizes more, but that his condition is really not good.

In the game he played for the Nets, his shooting percentage was even less than 35%, which is unqualified from any angle.

You must know that although Sloan said that his departure had nothing to do with Deron, the current view from the outside world is that Deron forced Sloan to leave.

As a result, Deron is still playing so poorly. You can imagine how much doubt he has received.

So at the beginning of the new season, he was obviously anxious to prove himself.

After missing consecutive shots from outside, he went straight to the basket and took big blocks from Wallace and Stoudemire.

The consequence of this is that the Nets played a bit of a mess, relying on Deron's offense and poor defensive enthusiasm.

After five minutes, the Nets were already 8 points behind the Suns, 4-12.

But what was even more distressing than Deron's poor performance was that Avery Johnson neither called a timeout nor made a substitution on the sidelines, but just... roared.

Yes, he is just shouting to express his dissatisfaction.

Sure enough, a coach who can lead a team with a record of 58 losses has some problems.

Lin Ying originally thought that Johnson, who at least led the Mavericks to the best record in team history with 67 wins, was the same type of coach as Gentry, the kind of person who could cook a full banquet if given some ingredients.

Now it seems that I am still young!

At least in terms of on-the-spot response, what Johnson did was obviously not enough.

After the Nets defended a fast break and Deron advanced to the frontcourt with the ball to prepare for another pick-and-roll, Lin Ying waved to Deron.

"give.the.ball!"

Give me the ball!

He said it a little loudly, not only to let Deron hear it, but also to show his determination to get the ball.

Deron hesitated and finally gave the ball over.

Although he was very anxious to prove himself, the two of them had just formed a team and Lin Ying was resolute. They had a falling out when he refused.

Lin Ying got the ball and was not in a hurry to attack. He dodged Hill's steal and then reached out to call for tactics.

After this set of actions, the restless hearts of the Nets players on the court clearly calmed down.

The leadership qualities that have gone through the conference finals and even the finals cannot be deceived.

The wings are spread apart, and Chandler moves to the high post for a pick-and-roll.

His pick-and-roll is still as solid as it was in the opening game.

Hill's old arms and legs did not escape.

Stoudemire was out of position to guard against Lin Ying, and he shrank further back.

He knew that Lin Ying was better at breakthroughs, and his "Shadow Style Turn" was invincible.

But the moment he retreated, he discovered that Lin Ying did not break through, but took 12 steps through the pick-and-roll and made an emergency stop jump shot!

This movement is very coherent, and even because Lin Ying is tall enough, it can be called silky smooth.

"Rebound!"

Marley was shouting from the sidelines to remind the Suns players.

Stoudemire blocked Chandler and prevented him from rushing forward to grab rebounds.

"Whoa!"

But, there is no backboard!

Lin Ying's emergency stop jump shot was a solid hit!

“It’s really that silky smooth!”

Cole, who was in the commentary box, couldn't help but sigh and smiled.

These words are not only praising the goal just now, but also expressing emotion for Lin Ying's progress in the past summer.

Lin Ying's ball-handling skills have improved greatly in his second season with the Suns, but his scoring method still favors the inside.

The start of this new season is another surprise.

This can only mean one thing: he was right about Lin Ying! He would never be willing to send such a constantly evolving supernova away!

Moreover, after Lin Ying scored, he did not put on any show to increase the viewing pleasure, but retreated directly, and also reminded his teammates to retreat.

Originally, because he arrived at the Nets late, he had trouble getting the ball right in the opening game.

But now Deron is not feeling well, and Johnson is hanging up on the sidelines again. If he doesn't step up and lead the team, he will play GG early tonight.

And his leadership qualities were once again on display. His reminders and even his defensive positioning were very accurate.

The Suns' quick attack was immediately choked to death, and they had no choice but to move into position.

At this time, Walken Dean also came to the away game with the team.

After seeing Lin Ying's continuous operations, his face was filled with indescribable happiness.

In the past, he won the opportunity to bet on Lin Ying by arguing hard for differences within the management.

The better Lin Ying plays now, the more it proves that what he did in the beginning was right!

"Bang!"

Lin Ying helped defend Stoudemire and got a big hit!

He is also merciless when facing his former partner!

This time it was the Nets' turn to play a fast break, and Lin Ying passed the ball to Butler who followed up in the bottom corner.

Butler received the ball and made a three-pointer.

This was a good opportunity, but unfortunately the ball failed to go in.

Fortunately, Lin Ying accurately judged the placement of the basketball and grabbed the offensive rebound.

And after seeing that Wallace had retreated to the basket, he was not in a hurry to attack.

He dribbled the ball directly and walked out, seemingly trying to stabilize his position and establish a position.

But in the next second, he suddenly made a no-look pass and passed the ball to Chandler who arrived late in the middle.

The Suns' attention on the court was all on Lin Ying, and it was too late to react.

Chandler's positioning awareness was really good. He didn't need to dribble when catching the ball. He took one big step and already passed Wallace, then turned sideways and jumped into the air.

"Bang!"

A huge booming sound came through the loudspeaker.

He has long hands and legs, and he likes to pull his legs up when dunking to do a squat-style dunk.

He even likes to swing his arm on the rim after dunking!

This dunk is full of visual impact!

These two consecutive waves of offense obviously brought out the momentum of the Nets.

Yi Jianlian made a beautiful assist and blocked Hill's layup.

Lin Ying got the ball, turned around and sent it forward with a long throw.

Butler walked like flying. After getting the ball, he stepped on his feet like hot wheels and quickly broke into the frontcourt and scored with a two-handed dunk!

6 to 0!

After a wave of offensive play, the Nets directly reduced the point difference to 10 to 12!

There is only one ball difference!

Gentry reached out and called a timeout!

The emotions of the fans at the scene were extremely complicated.

What is a leader!

When the team fell behind, a few operations were able to reverse the momentum, and the more critical thing was the method.

I didn’t see Lin Ying attacking like crazy with the ball, but it just felt like he was taking a leisurely pace.

This is the additional effect brought about by Lin Ying's technical enhancement during the offseason.

In the past, when he received the ball in the mid-range position, he had to consider more about pick-and-roll or breakthrough.

But now, he can choose to break out, shoot, or cross from any position in the entire half.

So he can take his time and wait until he has fully read the defense before making a choice.

The photographer at the scene actually gave Savor a shot at this time, although it was just a quick glance.

The restlessness at the scene turned into an uproar.

Then this shot was captured by Nets fans, and they instantly became excited on social media.

"Thank you to our good brother Savor!"
