Center first

Chapter 396
The news that Lin Yi and Fan Ling returned to China on the same plane has been tightly sealed. When this reclusive guy left his home in Miami, few people knew.Except for the news blockade of the National Basketball Association of Z and the increased media attention to the upcoming Asian Championships, everyone is waiting for the return of the most important piece of the jigsaw puzzle to win the championship. When the hotel was arranged, apart from the media that Fan Ling worked for, few people knew that Lin Yi had returned to China.

There are only three weeks left before the game. Lin Yi knows that he is going to face a brand new team, even a team that does not have him as the absolute core. Under such circumstances, he needs to He communicates more with his teammates and the head coach. After all, he has been away from the land where he was born for more than six years. This national team is not the one he watched when he was in school. Brand new, including himself.

There are too many things he needs to be familiar with, including the team's overall tactics, including the head coach's employment habits, and whether a tacit understanding can be reached among teammates who have not cooperated before. These are all issues that he needs to consider. Of course, this It's something he needs to think about later, now he has to reverse the damn jet lag, he was almost harassed by Fan Ling all the way on the plane, this gossip woman has never left his love life for almost every problem, She asked almost everything from Taylor to Lin Yuwei.

Lin stayed in the hotel arranged by Rogge for one night, and then he took the initiative to contact the reception staff of the Basketball Association, and immediately moved into the residence of the Men's Basketball Team in Country Z. He hoped that such a positive attitude would bring him closer to the team. The relationship between his teammates, at least he hoped it would be like this on the basketball court. Those officials couldn't wait to inform the media of Lin Yi's return as soon as possible. Box office, after all, an NBA player who has just participated in the finals, such a signature effect cannot be replaced by ordinary people.

When YAO had to miss this competition due to injury, maybe even the organizers of the competition were a little desperate. They even started to consider whether they should give away the tickets as favors. After all, they lacked the box office appeal of YAO. No one dares to guarantee how many people can be attracted by the name of the Asian Championships, but everything is just like this. A big NBA man who turned out gave them a shot in the arm , especially when this big guy agrees to return to the national team, I am afraid that even the organizers can't believe that their luck will be so good. For them, Lin Yi is a life-saving medicine.

When Lin Yi was injured in the finals, the organizer's ticket sales immediately stagnated. However, when the news of Lin Yi's resumption of training came, the tickets for all the group matches of the Z country team were almost sold out within a few days. It was sold out within an hour. This is Lin Yi's star effect. Although Rogge didn't feel the fiery atmosphere of the sales scene, he never worried about Lin Yi's popularity in China. Check out the boy's official homepage. The number of page views can easily estimate the influence of this guy in China.

Can Lin Yi stimulate the ball market?Rogge simply dismissed such questions. He never underestimated the potential of that kid, but that little guy always used all kinds of miracles to break through those limits, appeal?Have you ever seen YAO enter the finals?Have you ever thought about someone else killing Kobe in the finals?That kid has done it all. With his performance on the field, Lin Yi's domestic fans have surged to a terrifying level, not to mention that this guy gave up his chance to be selected for the US team.

However, Rogge was very lucky to see the extent of Lin Yi's popularity once. When Lin Yi's first public training session after entering the national team was held, the Z country men's basketball team might have seen the newcomer lead for the first time. The impact of the visit, the basketball hall that can accommodate more than 10000 people is full of seats, and this is definitely not a free visit. Tickets as high as several hundred yuan still can't prevent the place from being full. Lin Yi encountered the first time after he returned to China. For the first time, he was watched inhumanely by people, and the flashing cameras around the arena were even scarier than the NBA All-Star Game.

From this moment on, Rogge became even more convinced that his decision to let Lin Yi choose to return to China to participate in the game was not wrong. Putting aside the competitive level, at least in terms of the recognition of this market, Lin Yi has already led other NBA stars , fans wearing his Miami Heat jersey number 34, almost covered the entire basketball arena, and when Lin Yi came out, he himself was taken aback, and for a moment he seemed to be back at the home of the Miami Heat There is only one difference in the American Airlines Arena, that is, when these people call his name, they will never pronounce it wrong.

"If the Z country team holds a few more public training sessions, maybe all the funds invested in this game can be returned." The organizer sighed after the training session. Selling tickets to visit the public training session may be very important for the Z country men's basketball team. It’s the first time, but the result received is something that no one can refuse. With such a high ticket price, all of them can be guaranteed to be sold. I’m afraid even when YAO returned to China, it never caused such a big commotion. Wind and waves, maybe it is really like a popular saying in the NBA, performance is the last word that explains everything.

YAO is the pride of the people of country Z, that is because he is the first Asian to win the NBA No. The country Z who entered the NBA, but he did succeed, because compared with those predecessors, the height he reached is unattainable, and the success of Lin Yi is the same. Although he is not the number one pick in the NBA draft, he is the number one pick. A player from country Z who made it to the finals with real swords and guns.

It's not that there have been players from country Z in the finals before, but the person who didn't even get a minute of playing time, it seems that he can't say that he got the ring by his own strength, and Lin Yi is The little emperor and Howard abruptly snatched the opportunity to the finals, including his first game in the finals against Kobe. I am afraid that any person from country Z who has watched the game will have an inexplicable feeling for this kid A sense of identity, maybe this is the magic of blood. When Lin Yi was injured and couldn’t continue to play, I don’t know how many people cursed David Stein’s original punishment decision on various basketball forums. If the Jew dared to come to Z If he is in China, I am afraid it will be difficult for him to go out safely. You must know that the madness of the fans is not something ordinary people can bear.

Perhaps Rogge's confidence in Lin Yi's market in country Z stems from this. This little guy seems to be able to play crazy games at any time, and he can easily control the atmosphere of the entire arena. This is why this kid is here. The reason for the rapid accumulation of popularity in this piece of land is that the number of fans of the Miami Heat in country Z has begun to surpass that of the Rockets, especially when the Heat and the Lakers fought seven games in the finals before losing Afterwards, such a crazy team has become their favorite. The most important thing is that one of the most important cores of this team is the Z country people like them. It is a kind of identity that sprouts from the bones .

Lin Yi did not disappoint the fans who watched the men's basketball training. Before he had completely overcome the jet lag, he could still score 20+ points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists in the group confrontation. He only completed such data in more than 20 minutes. Perhaps the only thing he has not contributed yet is his shot-blocking skills. It is not that Lin Yi has the opportunity to show it, but he knows that such an open class may be more It is used to enhance the connection between fans and players and keep the team in a state. He doesn't need to fight too hard, and he doesn't need to make his teammates look ugly, so he mercilessly let go of several defenders' breakthrough layups .

However, Lin Yi's movement under the basket still fascinated many fans on the scene. The big man who inherited the "dream dance" of the big dream, used the most gorgeous shuttle around the basket to bring a visual feast to all the fans. , he made those fans who were obsessed with big dreams feel the charm of the center forward's pace for the first time. Every attack he made with the ball in the inside will attract floods of applause and cheers. The crazy atmosphere has continued throughout the training game In the end, this may be the first time that the Z country men's basketball team has enjoyed such a courtesy since its establishment.

But from the game, Lin Yi can also feel a kind of unacceptable jerky feeling, especially when he tries to find players to cooperate with him in the pick-and-roll, or when he opens up the gap for his teammates, the reactions of these teammates are always It was a step slower than his support, and in the control of rebounds, Lin Yi also found that the big men in those teams relied more on their own jumping ability to compete, and few people controlled the rebounds. It is a desire to rush, which makes the defense seem so passive to the inside line in many cases. Lin Yi can only be forced to slow down his rhythm to adapt to others. This may be the first time Lin Yi has been blocked on the basketball court. forced to change their habits.

"Maybe it's because we're not familiar with each other." Lin Yi can only use this reason to explain. After all, this is not the Miami Heat team he has played for for a year. This is a brand new and unfamiliar team. For the team, everything needs to be adapted, including his possession of the ball in the interior, which needs to be changed according to the passing habits of the point guard. For this team, he is just a rookie.

Lin Yi's performance in the training session undoubtedly gave those fans a shot in the arm. They can't wait to see the start of the Asian Championships. They hope that such a big man can perform better than YAO, Moreover, their team has integrated so many NBA players and former NBA players for the first time at this time. There is no reason why such a lineup cannot achieve good results. The Asian Championship is only their first step. They hope The big man could lead them to a historic breakthrough at the World Championships.

Perhaps such expectations are not just emerging from the hearts of the fans. Those high-ranking leaders of the basketball association have already begun to plan for that beautiful future. Big Zhi, Kong Tianyi, Sun Yue, Liu Wei, and Lin Yi A quasi-NBA team configuration is also considered luxurious in the history of basketball in country Z. What's more, YAO may be able to make another debut before next year's World Championships. There seems to be no reason for such a combination not to make a breakthrough. Internally, they shouted the goal of being in the top four of the World Championships or even entering the finals, but they seemed to have forgotten one very important thing. Except for Kong Tianyi and Lin Yi, everyone else was marginalized by the NBA. He is also struggling for his position as the main force, and the only possibility here that can be said to be the absolute main force is Lin Yi himself.

I don't know how Lin Yi will feel when he hears such news.At least he is not arrogant enough to think that he can easily kill strong teams like Spain and Argentina, not to mention which of those European strong teams does not have a few NBA players?A basketball game is not a 1v1 bullfight. It is a game that requires teamwork. Lin Yi, in particular, needs a qualified guard who can cooperate with his low post insiders. From the training session, it seems that Now there is no one who can take on such a task, including YAO's old buddy Liu Wei, who can't keep up with Lin Yi's attacking pace, which forces Lin Yi to often slow down his pace.

However, Lin Yi's current life in the Z country's men's basketball team is not as boring as imagined, especially for Da Zhi, who once played for the Miami Heat. When talking about the city of Miami with him, the atmosphere will become more natural. But when he came into contact with Kong Kong Yi, who also played in the NBA, it was not so smooth. At least Lin Yi and him did not take the initiative to communicate with him. Enough, such a face-saving matter, I'm afraid it's impossible for anyone to reverse it immediately.

The only thing that made Lin Yi feel uncomfortable was the intensity of the team's training. The efficiency of four or five hours of training here seemed to be less than the intensity of Lewis's one-hour task. After the training, Lin Yi also practiced on his own, and the slow offensive and defensive rhythm during the training also made Lin Yi very uncomfortable. He didn't know what effect this kind of confrontation would show in the game, but he knew very well that if he dared to If the NBA team trains like this, what awaits him must be a scolding meal.

However, this is the training plan specified by the head coach of the team. Regardless of whether it is reasonable or not, Lin Yi will not argue. He came back here for the competition. He does not want to get involved in other disputes, and he can only rely on his own consciousness. You must know that since the finals, he has not played an official game for more than two months. He must keep his body in a state of preparation. He is not a person who is used to failure. Man, no matter what the game is, he doesn't want to be that loser.

There are still two weeks before the date of the first group match of Team Z in the Asian Championships on August 8. Team Z is about to usher in its last friendly match after training. This is also the first time that Lin Yi has played in an official game Looking for an opportunity to get along with teammates, the opponent is not strong, it is just a league team from Australia, maybe this kind of game is for the players to increase their confidence, and this is also a chance for the fans to witness Lin Yi on the field with their own eyes opportunity for performance.

Playing 25 minutes, 9 shots, 7 free throws and 5 points, 19 points, 11 rebounds, 1 block and 3 assists. The statistics don't look so gorgeous, but Lin Yi's performance on the court is always It hits the nail on the head, and every time he holds the ball in the low post will cause considerable trouble to the opponent. Either he is directly hit by Lin Yi directly, or the entire defense line is torn apart by this guy's pass.

The most unlucky person on this night is probably the poor Australian center forward. Not only did he not score a single point in the 10 minutes he played, but he also tragically became Lin Yi's performance background board. He didn't look strong. Almost every attack of the guy can use his body to take the lead in the confrontation. This poor Australian can only sit back in the rest area with 5 fouls on his back and watch the game depressed.

The Australian could only helplessly watch Lin Yi shuttle freely in the paint throughout the game. If his teammates hadn't wasted Lin Yi's several passes in a row, maybe this guy's stats would have been more gorgeous, but the Z country team did not. Lin Yi didn't take any advantage because of Lin Yi's strong performance in the interior. The peripheral firepower only contributed three three-pointers in the whole game. This is why the Z country only won the game with Lin Yi. The reason why the opponent scored 9 points.

There is only one highlight of the whole game, and that is Lin Yi's performance inside. Apart from the strong attack of this new generation, the country Z team played nothing. More than ten points, such a dismal offensive efficiency cast a shadow over Lin Yi's heart for the first time. He didn't know if this situation was a coincidence, and hoped that this would not be the full strength of the Z country team, if so , Lin didn't really have much confidence in such a game.

After all, he is not a god. Basketball needs the cooperation of five people, and there are very limited things he can decide by himself.

But looking at the fans shouting Lin Yi's name frantically, Rogge, who was sitting on the rostrum, knew clearly that this opening goal was not bad. At least Lin Yi's performance can already establish his position in the team. In the case of YAO, Rogge hoped that Lin Yihui would be the only choice. This is what he values ​​most. As for the process of the game?That's not something he should worry about.

Had a good start?Maybe, the game is approaching, what kind of process is waiting for Lin Yi, maybe only when the whistle sounds, can people see clearly whether this is Lin Yi's game or not. . .
