This striker is not serious

The American media also exploded, but it was exactly the opposite of the situation in China.

"Rough, brutal basketball."

This is roughly their assessment.

Famous commentator Bill Simmons even called the Chinese men's basketball team an "ugly" way to win the game, and described Yunus as a barbarian from Lithuania.

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

Except Karl made a phone call and asked him to pay attention to his personal safety and not get involved in fights or anything like that.

Of course Lin Ying agreed.

However, he privately asked Zhu Fangyu for some boxing skills.

After all, he will be playing with Carmelo, the gangster brother, Anthony next season!

Think of last season's Madison Square Garden brawl.

Be mentally prepared.

Then, this became Lin Ying's main theme for this summer league.

In the second game, the men's basketball team's opponent was the Kings.

And I don’t know if it was because of the “accident” in the last game that the opponent was temporarily adjusted this time.

They were originally scheduled to play the Clippers, but they didn't find out until the game started that it was the Kings.

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

At the end of the game, the Chinese team was defeated by the Kings 47-73.

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

The Chinese team had 38 fouls and 25 turnovers, so the loss was reasonable.

However, although the team lost, Wang Zhizhi performed well.

Because Lin Ying sat off the court most of the time, he had more time to carefully observe Wang Zhizhi's skills.

Then he discovered that Wang Zhizhi's ability to be the first to land in the NBA was by no means a simple matter of exploring the Chinese market.

Metaphorically speaking, his offensive steps are like a waltz.

Exquisite, delicate, yet elegant.

Apart from anything else, if his defense can reach the average level of NBA interior players, he will have absolutely no problem being a rotation player in the NBA, and he can even be a starter for weak teams.

After the game, Lin Ying privately consulted with Wang Zhizhi on the details of inside technique.

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

However, after the game, the American media exploded again.

This time they were gloating about their misfortune. The feeling was:

Let me just say, they can only win the game through brutal methods! No team can beat them if they really play well!

You're so savage, sister!

The men's basketball team members were very excited after reading the report. In the game against the Grizzlies, it was as if they were 15 points behind before the attack!

This also made Yunus a little angry.

Originally he was just here to inspect the players, but he couldn't stand the prejudice of the American media.

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 quite good.

And more importantly, defense. Lin Ying and Sun Yue have proven to be an excellent defensive pairing.

Although Yi Jianlian is stronger offensively than defensively, he is 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 really performed well!

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

The American media were all silent this time.

But domestic fans are excited!

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

Not to mention next year's Olympics, the future of men's basketball is promising!

What's more interesting is that after the first fight, in order to avoid similar things happening, the NBA invited Yao Ming to the scene while he was recovering from his injury.

The result is now good, Yao Ming laughed the whole time on the sidelines.

Everyone here is very lively, and there is quite a lot going on in next year’s Olympics!

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

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

And maybe it’s because Lin Ying also likes to consult with these big brothers off the set. Zhu Fangyu, Wang Zhizhi and others all 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 were relatively strong, the men's basketball team failed to win in the end.

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

It can be said that the men’s basketball team’s summer league is quite profitable.

Not only did the goal of military training be achieved, but it also broke the embarrassing record of no victory in history, and even won two at once.

Yunas' relaxed expression and Yao Ming's embarrassing smile are the best reflections of this summer league trip.

And after this wave of summer league games, Lin Ying's popularity has greatly increased.

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

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

This has caused the outside world to question his "potential" rating on the draft report.

Then Duffy started to get busy.

Businessmen are very realistic.

If they don't see the value in you, they won't make a bet easily.

For example, Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian are both in the Chinese market. Most sneaker manufacturers will only look for Yi Jianlian and not Sun Yue.

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

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

Similarly, although Lin Ying is the ninth overall pick, his actual pick is higher than his predicted pick, and there are many unknowns.

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

However, after this wave of summer league games, Lin Ying performed quite well, especially in the game against the Knicks.

This makes those sneaker manufacturers a little bit unable to hold back.

Although these few games are not enough to prove that Lin Ying can definitely perform well, after all, the data of the summer league is of little significance for reference.

But Lin Ying is playing for the Chinese national team, and the data he produces by grabbing shots is not the same as other summer league teams.

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

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

So, at this time, they switch from wait-and-see to "first come, first served"!

Duffy also behaved very professionally at this time. He would not refuse anyone who came to negotiate, including Chinese companies such as Peak, Anta, and Li Ning.

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

This is the same as when he was not in a hurry to get advertising endorsements for Lin Ying and others.

When it comes to sneaker contracts, the sooner you sign them, the more money you will lose.

Especially since Lin Ying has just shown his talent, whoever is stupid will win.

Waiting for the price and selling is the way to go.

…

After the summer league, Yao Ming organized the entire team to have a meal at Yao Restaurant in Houston.

He couldn't help but be happy while eating, and he probably couldn't hold back his embarrassing smile.

And there was an episode at the dinner table.

Because they are all Chinese, Yao Ming specially made tofu curd in the kitchen.

When bowls of sweet tofu were served, Liu Xiaoyu and the others from the north looked confused.

This... shouldn't the tofu curd be added with mustard soy sauce and chili?

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

After the dinner, Lin Ying said goodbye to his big brothers in 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 roaring tigers and mountains, saying that he used to like to play with it.

Wang Shipeng gave him a sports watch, saying it would allow him to keep accurate time during training and exercise his big heart ability.

…

All in all, although Lin Ying doesn't talk much, as the NBA's No. 9 pick, he doesn't have any airs, and he still asks for advice from time to time.

Don't worry about what you studied, just this attitude is very popular.

These gifts that Lin Ying received after leaving the national team represent their love for Lin Ying.

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

He brought Phil Handy in again.

But this time it’s not just Handy, but also Nuggets assistant coach Jareon 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. He is a standard China passer.

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

Just like Duffy said at the beginning, the Nuggets trading Camby for him means they pay enough attention to him.

In the training hall of the Pepsi Center, O'Connor sat down with Lin Ying and Handy to discuss Lin Ying's plans for his rookie season.

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

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

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

In other words, sometimes he needs to be the substitute fourth position for Martin or Nene, and sometimes he needs to be the substitute third position for Anthony.

Even when the team has injuries, he still needs to be able to start at the third or fourth position!

To achieve this, Lin Ying must improve his own requirements in many aspects.

For example, his speed must be able to keep up with the average No. 3 position, and his confrontation must be able to withstand the average No. 4 position.

This will be a big challenge for Lin Ying.

Because these days, too many players have gone from being three or four to being neither three nor four.

"We carefully observed your Crazy Three game and believe that the scouts' ratings of your potential during the draft were seriously low. You have a greater possibility."

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

Once 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 simply adding basic points, but adding targeted basic points.

First of all, Lin Ying will gain appropriate weight and increase to about 103 kilograms.

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

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

But this will allow him to continue to improve his confrontation to ensure that he can withstand the average No. 4 position.

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

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

In addition to these two, Handy also confirmed Lin Ying's previous idea and asked him to train low-post turning and breakthrough techniques.

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

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

Therefore, even if the training results cannot be achieved in a short period of time, the necessary skills of the fourth position must be practiced.

This is why he would rather let Lin Ying sacrifice some speed in order to increase the confrontation.

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