This Forward is Not Serious

It's perfectly normal for Anthony to have an opinion.

There is only one basketball, which determines that a team can only have one or two core players at most. If there are more, they will have to turn to role players.

The Big Three teams in history, Bosh of the Heat, Love of the Cavaliers, Ray Allen of the Celtics, etc. are all examples.

Now Karl wants to bring Lin Ying into the core players, which will inevitably mean someone has to sacrifice.

Theoretically, it should be the older Iverson, but the current situation is that Iverson and Lin Ying are better matched.

On the contrary, Anthony, who doesn't like running and passing without the ball, seems out of place.

This situation is very similar to the Suns next door. Anthony is like O'Neal and does not fit in with the team's system.

Anthony definitely cannot accept this status quo.

Because this is completely different from the previous situation of giving Lin Ying the ball and sacrificing part of the singles.

The championship is very important to him, but if he is not the first core, then the championship means nothing to him.

Before, it was because he was in poor condition at the beginning of the season and he couldn't say anything.

But after playing some games, his condition improved, and he naturally gained confidence.

Karl reached out and scratched his bald forehead.

This matter is indeed difficult to handle.

He actually doesn't have much of a problem with Anthony.

Last season's playoffs are in the past.

His tactical choices in the new season are purely to let the Nuggets go further in the playoffs and even win the championship.

For an old coach like him who has coached in the NBA for so many years, that is the only thing that attracts him the most.

"If Melo wants to, he can be the top off-ball scorer in the league at some point."

Karl sighed after putting down his hands.

He is telling the truth. Anthony's scoring talent is too high, and he will still be able to compete for the top spots in history.

Not to mention anything else, although the off-ball buzzer beater in last season's playoffs didn't go in, it was a beautiful run.

O'Connor smiled and said nothing.

That is impossible.

Anthony is less likely to play off the ball than James.

Time will eventually give the answer. In history, Anthony has never played without the ball in his life, even if he becomes a role player when he gets older.

This is the character of some people, just like Iverson who would rather retire than play as a substitute.

"We need to find a balance between the two."

O'Connor continued.

Normal problems can be solved by winning, but this problem may be more difficult than winning.

Karl rubbed his forehead again.

He now really envies Popovich, who is lucky enough to be able to coach a superstar like Duncan.

And speaking of which, why doesn't he want to develop tactics around Anthony?

But how difficult it is to design tactics for a super giant who can't pass the ball!

Larry Brown was a rare success back then.

And really, Iverson is a passing master in front of Anthony!

Otherwise, are you really considering trading Anthony?

This idea was immediately rejected by him as soon as it appeared.

Management will never agree.

Although Lin Ying has shown some talent, he is still not comparable to Anthony.

Even if the team's record is not good, he will get out first compared to Anthony.

NBA coaches are the first to be thought of by management except when they take the blame, other times...

Let’s think about how to balance it.

"Change Dengtae Jones to the starting lineup, and arrange more of his singles and misplaced singles tactics when Melo is on the court."

Carl finally made the decision.

O'Connor nodded, this was the only solution now.

"And call Lin here."

O'Connor nodded again and stood up to go out.

After a while, Lin Ying, who was training, was called to Karl's office.

Karl didn't hide anything and directly told him the coaching staff's next tactical adjustments.

Lin Ying nodded and said nothing.

"Don't you ask why?"

Karl couldn't help but ask.

Lin Ying was too obedient.

Could it be that he learned skills from Duncan and also learned his temper?

"The coach has the coach's consideration. I just have to do what I should do."

Lin Ying replied.

Isn't he happy?

This is for sure.

But he sees through it.

It goes without saying that Karl valued him.

How many newcomers can get this kind of treatment in the NBA if they are given the right to hold the ball and a core position?

As the saying goes, a thousand-mile horse needs Bole.

Barnes was the Bole he met in NCAA, while Karl was the one he met in NBA.

So Karl must have his own considerations in doing this.

To take a step back, what can he do if he makes trouble?

It’s just to embarrass Karl.

Carl sighed.

It would be great if Lin Ying came to the Nuggets before Anthony!

He has full confidence in cultivating Lin Ying into a real Denver Duncan!

After chatting, Lin Ying was ready to go back.

But before getting up, he saw Karl unconsciously reaching out and pressing his temples, and he added one more sentence:

"Coach, if it's really difficult to balance, you can ask the management to send me away."

Karl Zhengzhengdi looked at Lin Ying, then waved his hand:

"It's not that far yet."

Lin Ying didn't say much, then turned and left.

After leaving the office, he took a long breath, feeling a little complicated for no reason.

The course of this season was completely different from what he imagined.

Even when he had a winning streak at the beginning of the season, he felt that in the end this season he would complete his revenge as he expected and win the championship.

After all, if history doesn't change this year, the Magic will be the one in the Eastern Conference to reach the finals.

As long as the Lakers are passed, it will be another year of welfare for the Eastern Conference.

However, it cannot be said that there are no signs.

After all, with his experience last season, he already knows Anthony's character very well.

It is impossible to be without the ball, and reducing a few shots in exchange for victory is already the limit.

And from Anthony's standpoint, there's nothing wrong with that.

After all, Denver is his Denver.

I can only blame Lin Ying for growing up too fast!

It's also to blame that Yunus is so powerful that he actually tailor-made this exclusive misplaced roll call tactic for Lin Ying.

And to say the least, if you can't get along, just move on.

Let him think about where to go?

To the Lakers?

Let’s get his two championships first!

But no one on the Lakers can replace him, right?

The Nuggets definitely won't want Odom, and the Lakers won't offer Bynum either.

To the Thunder?

Durant will definitely laugh silly!

It seems that the Thunder have already selected Westbrook, and he will probably have to make trouble for a long time.

To the Nets?

This seems like a good choice!

If I remember correctly, the Nets should move to Brooklyn in a few years.

The key is that now I can still partner with Yi Jianlian.

Didn't I read the news that Yi Jianlian was struggling before, so I happened to go over and study together how to transform.

this is not bad!

To the Warriors?

It seems pretty good, I’ll wait for Curry next year!

Oh, and there’s Thompson!

Or even wait for Durant?

What else is there for Green? He just becomes the big brother and takes them flying!

…

After thinking about it, Lin Ying felt a little happy unconsciously.

The dead trees are moved and the living ones are moved. After leaving this forest, it is quite good to go outside and see the lush jungle.

that is.

his dream.

The championship teams don't have the leverage to trade him, and the teams that can trade him are basically rebuilding teams.

I really don’t know when Ma Yue will win the championship!

Could it be that he and Durant, the brothers, are going to become inseparable brothers? Missed the championship in the early stages of his career?

It’s better not to think so much yet.

Have faith in Carl.

Maybe like last season, this is just a blip in the season.

After the passage of time, in the playoffs, the Nuggets will have the same goal again for the championship.

In fact, the Nuggets are stronger this season, and they defeated the Lakers in the opening game!

Thinking of this, Lin Ying didn't think any further.

Just train more.

Work hard to improve yourself. If your abilities are strong enough, you can perform well anywhere.

Mmp, he suddenly remembered what Duncan said to him before the summer training ended.

Is Shifo's judgment really so amazing?

…

Lin Ying was right. Karl did have the ability to balance the team.

By adjusting the starting lineup, adjusting the offensive proportion, and staggering the playing of Lin Ying and Anthony as much as possible, the Nuggets' performance recovered.

Taking advantage of the schedule, the Nuggets rebounded and won four consecutive games.

They look to be on track again.

Of course, it just seems.

Anthony no longer gave Lin Ying this and that as he did last season, and even did not talk to Lin Ying except for necessary exchanges during training.

After a cut with a knife, no matter how well it heals, it will leave a scar.

Anthony, didn't even want to fix it.

Lin Ying didn't care either.

He just plays ball.

In this atmosphere, Lin Ying spent the first two months of the new season with the Nuggets.

The Nuggets' record is better than last season, but not much better.

Originally, they could have been better.

On the other hand, Lin Ying's performance improved steadily.

Although it is not as outstanding as it was at the start of the season, his season average of 14.2 points, 7 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.5 blocks per game is still improved compared to last season.

Almost the same level as last season's playoffs.

…

December 25, 2008.

The Nuggets did not have a Christmas game this year, so Lin Ying went to Oklahoma one day early.

It was agreed last year that he would go to Oklahoma for Christmas this year and take a look at the room Durant left for him.

The room is quite big and equipped with a bathroom. Durant even kindly posted a picture for him on the bedside...

Kelly Brook's photoshoot? !

He has almost forgotten what happened in the playoffs last season.

But when he saw it, he went to the bathroom and washed his face with facial cleanser.

Looking at himself in the mirror, he suddenly had an idea:

Otherwise, would he really try to fall in love with Brooke?

Experts say that not harmonizing yin and yang as you age is not conducive to physical development.

What the experts say certainly makes sense.

Okay, that's it.

He went to the bedside and took a photo of Brooke, planning to show the photo to Brooke the next time he met her, and then say:

Since the last time we were separated, I have found that I cannot forget you.

Social badass.

…

While eating, a group of people were a little absent-minded.

Durant was wondering why even in their second season, the Thunder team he led was still so bad.

Beasley was wondering why he was ranked second but couldn't even start.

Tony Durant was wondering why he played in the summer league for the Thunder in the summer, but he still couldn't play in the NBA after working hard.

Lin Ying wasn't thinking about Brook, he was thinking about what happened to the Nuggets in January.

The Nuggets' record in the first two months is better than last season, which has a lot to do with the schedule. They will face a difficult schedule in January.

If they don't play well, the conflicts that have accumulated before may break out again.

"boom!"……

Four times in a row, four people, including Lin Ying, hit Wanda on the head.

"Christmas is the happiest day of the year. Don't be all sad. Come on, let's compare ourselves first."

After Wanda "gently" picked up the book again, several people gestured to the camera.

Then, we started eating.

After really eating it, those worries seemed to be gone.

Sure enough, you should eat more when you are in a bad mood.

After finishing their meal, Lin Ying and Durant sat on the balcony on the second floor chatting.

This is the first time they have sat and chatted together like this since the start of the season.

"I heard there was something going on between you and Anthony?"

"A little problem."

Lin Ying showed no concern.

Even if you are your best friend, there is no need to analyze your troubles because that will only make your friend unhappy.

Especially with the Thunder's poor record this season, Durant himself is already very troubled.

"By the way, Westbrook, how are you feeling?"

Lin Ying asked, changing the topic.

"You know what? He's just like me in a way."

"Um?"

Lin Ying didn't expect Durant to say that.

"We all play for someone special, I play for Coach Craig, and he plays for KB3."

Durant told Lin Ying the story of Westbrook.

Westbrook grew up in Los Angeles with a childhood playmate.

His name is Kelsey Barrs.

They play and compete together on the court, and off the court they are brothers who talk about everything and follow each other everywhere.

Just like Lin Ying and Durant did at the University of Texas.

Moreover, Bars has a strong basketball talent and even has a certain relationship with Durant.

Because Durant was the second high school student in the country at that time, and the first was Bales.

But Bales didn't know he had a heart problem. He died of myocardial infarction after a basketball game and rescue efforts failed.

One thing that is very similar to the original Durant is that Westbrook once wanted to give up basketball because of Bars's death.

But in the end, he decided to take his brothers with him to fulfill the original agreement and go to UCLA to play ball.

That KB3 bracelet, KB is the abbreviation of Bales' name, and 3 is Bales' jersey number.

After hearing the story, Lin Ying couldn't help turning around and reaching out to pat Durant on the shoulder.

Some people are destined to meet.

This may also be the reason why Durant still went to the Sonics during the draft that year.

"Kevin, let's work together. I believe our goals and dreams will eventually come true."

And after listening to Durant's words, he also felt that his fighting spirit was back.

Durant and Westbrook are playing for certain people, and his words are for a dream, a dream called a championship!

So now is really not the time to consider where to go. At least this season, he will continue to work hard to win his championship!

…

At the beginning of January, the Nuggets suffered a four-game losing streak.
