This Forward is Not Serious

Not long after training with Ben, Lin Ying met Nelson, the team's trainer.

Nelson was not an expert in this area, but he also gave Lin Ying some basic training methods.

The NBA has been developing for so long, and most of it has become a system, but some individuals are good at certain aspects.

Lin Ying trained according to that method. It didn't take long, but he found that the effect was good.

This excited him.

Most people's bounce and speed are determined innately, but some have untapped potential.

The most classic example is naturally Westbrook.

His training is useful, which shows that he still has room for development.

It is difficult to become a super dunker like Curry, but it is entirely possible to provide him with help on the defensive end.

…

Denver is a bit cold in November.

Compared with Phoenix, Denver’s highest temperature has dropped to about 10 degrees due to its high altitude.

When he arrived, he separated from his teammates and went to the University of Denver.

He had contacted Yang Shuyi on the phone before coming here, and he happened to come to watch a women's basketball game.

Of course, what attracted Lin Ying to watch the game was definitely not Yang Shuyi's phone call saying that he would cook hot pot for him after the game.

The game had already started when Lin Ying arrived.

What he didn't expect was that Yang Shuyi had already become the starter!

Although he still looks like a role player, this is already pretty good.

This is understandable. The competitive environment of women's basketball is indeed better than that of men.

As long as you have the physical conditions and are willing to work hard, your chances of becoming a professional player are much greater than in men's basketball.

And Yang Shuyi seems to be playing in 3D?

There is still room for improvement defensively, but the three-pointer feels very good, and it looks like he must have worked hard.

This development direction is the same as the career planning route he envisioned for yellow people before.

As Lin Ying watched, he was thinking about what experiences he could share.

There is no such thing as a free dinner, so he has to show some respect.

After watching for a while, Yang Shuyi seemed to have seen him when he was substituted, and reached out to say hello to him.

At the end of the game, the University of Denver narrowly defeated its opponent.

After celebrating with her teammates for a while, Yang Shuyi turned around and walked towards the auditorium.

Because he was wearing a larger peaked cap than last time, no one recognized Lin Ying.

"How's it going? I'm doing okay, right?"

Yang Shuyi came up with a tone of begging for praise.

We haven’t seen each other for half a year, but the little girl’s personality has not changed at all.

"It's not that interesting, but I've already figured out how to help you improve."

Yang Shuyi was a little sad when she heard the first half of the sentence, but she immediately laughed happily when she heard the second half.

"Let's go eat hot pot. My mom's place serves authentic Chongqing hot pot!"

Lin Ying's eyes lit up. You said this and I'm really not sleepy anymore.

…

The place where Yang Shuyi lives is not very good.

Lin Ying originally wanted to leave the villa where he lived to her, and he would pay the rent and so on.

But Yang Shuyi didn't want it.

The butter hotpot is sizzling and bubbling quickly after it is heated up. The red color makes people want to drool just looking at it.

The table was also filled with all kinds of meat ingredients, and Yang Shuyi also bought everything he could buy, such as vegetables.

Of course, there is also the standard bottle of large Sprite.

This is very atmospheric.

Of course, Lin Ying wouldn't be able to eat this kind of food during training, and his taste buds couldn't help but tingle.

Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep!

The hot pot is really delicious!

Especially with the temperature in Denver, everyone who eats it feels warm all over.

"cheers!"

The two of them were having a big sprite, which really felt like celebrating the New Year.

"Don't your family support your career?"

After almost eating, Lin Ying started chatting.

"No."

Yang Shuyi said with a smile.

Just when Lin Ying was confused, she immediately smiled and said,

"they do not know."

Lin Ying was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

Not surprising.

Women's basketball gets too little attention, and the University of Denver is not a Division I university.

Live broadcast across the United States? Something that is simply impossible.

But in this case, it means that in the eyes of their family, Yang Shuyi is still studying, and the living expenses will definitely not be much.

"Here, you eat this."

Yang Shuyi started to pick up food for Lin Ying at this time.

It's not that she wanted to do anything, but she simply came to the second stage of eating hot pot... and couldn't eat any more!

How big a little girl's appetite can be.

At this time, Lin Ying saw the calluses on her palms and the bruises on her arms.

Although we haven't seen each other for only half a year, she must have tried her best for her dream in the past six months.

He couldn't help but look at Yang Shuyi for a while.

Because I have been on this road before, I can resonate with those who have also walked on this road.

"What's wrong? Are you moved by my pick of vegetables?"

Yang Shuyi said with a smile.

Well, she still has long hair.

"How about we sign a contract?"

Lin Ying suddenly spoke.

"contract?"

Yang Shuyi's face was filled with mushroom-shaped question marks.

"right."

Lin Ying put down his chopsticks and started talking seriously.

He is going to sign a contract with Yang Shuyi, which can be called a training contract.

The general meaning is that he will invest a sum of money into Yang Shuyi to support her expenses in college, including medical care and so on.

If she enters the profession in the future, she will have to join his banner, wear LinkK's shoes, and pay him 1% of her salary.

If you don't make it, then continue to be his physical therapist, and the money you used before will be slowly deducted from your salary.

Yang Shuyi was stunned for a while.

But she should also be able to feel what Lin Ying wants to do: help her.

And it was intentional, because he knew he would refuse if he was given money directly, so he even came up with a contract.

"Of course, it won't be too much money."

Lin Ying then added.

"Then I'll sign."

Yang Shuyi agreed.

Lin Ying raised his cup.

Yang Shuyi also raised it, and then...

Burped.

She really couldn't eat anymore.

…

When leaving, Lin Ying inadvertently saw that the two pairs of shoes he gave to Yang Shuyi were placed on the wall beside the bed.

"Why don't you wear the shoes I gave you? Don't be reluctant to part with them. I will give them to you again when they wear out."

Before going out, Lin Ying couldn't help but say.

"It's not that I can't bear to part with it."

"what is that?"

"too big."

"too……"

Lin Ying smiled awkwardly.

He had forgotten this.

…

The next night, the Pepsi Center was packed.

The Nuggets are playing stronger than ever this season, and then Lin Ying returns to Denver for the first time, so the attention is naturally high.

The locker room before the game.

"Lin, do you think they will boo or cheer you?"

Xiaosi asked.

"100% boos, this is tradition. How many players can still enjoy cheers after being traded back home?"

Richardson on the side said.

"I think cheering is more likely."

Barbossa joined the conversation group at this time.

"Make a bet? $100."

"bet."

Lin Ying smiled and shook his head.

"Whether it's boos or cheers, it's the same to me. All I care about now is whether we can win tonight."

Seeing Xiao Si still looking at him, Lin Ying said.

"well said!"

Richardson put his arm around Lin Ying's shoulders and gave him a thumbs up.

"Double kill them!"

…

At the entrance ceremony, when Lin Ying was introduced, he was greeted by...

Cheers!

Just like the way the Denver media spoke when Lin Ying was traded, Denver was only grateful to Lin Ying, and maybe even a little reluctant and guilty.

The eyes of the fans are also sharp. Lin Ying has only brought positive things to Denver.

The victory over the Spurs and the performance against the Lakers in G4 in the Western Conference Finals are still vivid in my mind.

What's more, how could they be willing to boo a player who has worked hard throughout his career and rarely had any scandals, and even if he did, it was because of his saves.

Richardson was still a little shocked.

It wasn't because of the $100 he lost, but because he saw something different about Lin Ying.

No matter what the reason is, generally speaking, those who can enjoy the cheers of the original team are mostly due to the team's merits.

But Lin Ying has only played in Denver for two years.

It's really a bit different.

But Anthony's face didn't look too good.

A player who had a conflict with him and was traded away actually enjoyed the cheers of his own team's fans?

No one else would be happy.

Then, be ruthless when you strike!

After the opening ceremony, the starting lineups of the two teams were announced one after another.

Nuggets: Billups, Afflalo, Anthony, Diaw, Nene

Suns: Nash, Richardson, Hill, Lin Ying, Stoudemire

Anthony is currently a heavy striker, and Allen's size is not suitable for the position.

Stoudemire jumped up high and moved the ball back to half court. It was still the Suns that took the lead.

Afflalo's defense was on the line, and Lin Ying had no advantage in misplaced singles. The Suns started with a classic...double pick-and-roll.

Gentry: I will never be stingy if I can do something good.

Nash cut in after the pick-and-roll to pressure the defense, and passed the ball directly to Richardson in the bottom corner.

Richardson caught the ball and shot.

"Dang!"

The ball was thrown straight, but unfortunately, I was a bit unlucky and the basketball hit the basket.

But at this moment, Stoudemire jumped up, grabbed the offensive rebound, and then dunked with one hand.

Little bully!

The longer Lin Ying plays in the Suns, the more Lin Ying naturally knows about this group of teammates.

For example, "Amar'e Stoudemire has never averaged double figures in rebounds per game" has nothing to do with his ability, but simply to do with his style of play.

Because Stoudemire plays so fast, it is usually the second wave that rushes to the frontcourt, or even the first wave.

He usually leaves matters such as backcourt rebound protection to his inside partners.

So you will find that Marion often rebounded in double figures when he played in the Suns.

But Stoudemire's rebounding ability is not weak at all. You can tell by looking at his career offensive rebounds per game.

At his peak, he averaged close to 3 per game, and this was just an insider who was less than 2.05 meters tall with bare feet.

The Suns took the lead.

In the Nuggets' offense, Antonika got in shape and needed to stay in position.

After the last encounter, he was obviously more wary of Hill.

This time Billups fed the ball very accurately.

Because he has a stable three-pointer and stands there to open up the space, Anthony has an excellent one-on-one opportunity.

He chose a back-to-the-basket singles.

After gaining weight, his proportion of back-to-the-frame offense increased significantly.

Lower your weight and feel the defensive focus.

After feeling that Hill's defense was pressing forward and focusing on preventing him from shooting, he suddenly turned around and accelerated. The non-ball-handler hugged Hill behind him, and then accelerated towards the inside.

There was only the basket in front of him...

Lin Ying's defensive assistance has arrived!

Just before he could get up for a layup.

He was forced to stop the ball.

This precise prediction ability and timing of assisting defense.

Diaw waved his request not far away, and it took time for the Suns to change defense over there.

Anthony didn't pass the ball, he just made a fake shot.

Lin Ying stabilized his body and did not move.

Anthony rises again.

Lin Ying still didn't move.

It wasn't until Anthony made his third shot that Lin Ying took the shot.

His prediction was not bad originally, but after getting Professor Oben, he could see more details.

For example, how to judge whether it is a feint or a shot through the shoulder, such as how to grasp the three seconds of attack.

If Anthony doesn't take this ball, he will be whistled for three seconds.

Almost upright, Lin Ying pressed his hand on the ball.

But after Anthony gained weight, his core strength increased, and he didn't even push the ball out this time.

The two fell to the ground during the confrontation.

"beep!"

The referee's whistle sounded, signaling Lin Ying's defensive foul!

As soon as this penalty came out, a group of people on the Suns' bench protested, and Gentry also ran to the referee to signal for the ball.

However, the referee went in with one ear and out with the other, and did not change the penalty. He just signaled Anthony to take a free throw.

After seeing the referee's gesture, Anthony turned back and looked at Lin Ying with a smile.

That expression seems to say: You are still too young.

Lin Ying didn't have much mood swings.

Star Whistle, this is the home court of the Nuggets, so it will naturally be a little different.

Anthony was about to take a free throw, but Ben called Lin Ying to the sidelines.

"Cut the ball."

Lin Ying nodded after listening.

On-court coaching from Mr. Omoto.

Anthony made two free throws steadily.

Having just finished an excellent month, his touch is the same.

In the Suns' offense, Hill received a pass from Nash from the outside and hit a three-pointer.

This season, the Suns' three-point accuracy from the outside is really high.

Anthony continues to ask for the ball in the frontcourt.

He continued to hit Hill with his back.

After feeling that Hill's defensive method was still pressing forward, he felt happy.

If Lin Ying commits another foul, Lin Ying will basically have no chance to perform tonight.

Thinking of this, he turned his back and threw Hill behind him again.

Then, he saw Lin Ying again.

However, the situation is a little different. Hill's pursuit is faster than before.

If he can be thrown away so easily, Hill will not be called a defensive warrior who transformed after the age of 37.

But he didn't panic, and of course he didn't choose to pass the ball.

He humped Hill with his butt, faked a shot and then started again.

Lin Ying had already committed a foul and did not dare to take action easily.

So this ball...

That's what he thought, but when he took action, he saw Lin Ying suddenly jump up.

Ben's reminder just now was timely, but he still remembered the eight words in the defensive experience taught by Ben:

Defend carefully and attack boldly!

"boom!"

Amid the exclamations of the fans, Lin Ying stood up from the ground and slapped Anthony's hand away from the field!

The weather is a bit cold, please have a hot pot!
