This Forward is Not Serious
Vol 2 Chapter 87: Coincidentally!
Lin Ying and Handy were training on this day, Nuggets general manager Walkendian, head coach George Carr, and McConaughey all came.
The mighty killing of the people caught them off guard.
When Lin Ying finished training, they took Lin Ying to chat on the sidelines.
"The Chinese Basketball Association communicated with us not long ago, saying that I hope you can represent the Chinese national team in the Asian Men's Basketball Championship. I don't know if you personally have any thoughts on this?"
Lin Ying fell into thought after listening to Walkendien's words.
Asian Championships, Yao Ming once asked him this question once.
He said that it would take time to think about it.
Later, because Yunus temporarily called him into the national first team to play in the summer league, he temporarily forgot about it.
I didn't expect someone to mention it again this time, and it was the Nuggets!
And looking at the posture, it should be because he wanted to fight.
"We respect your personal wishes. If you want to train, we will reject the Chinese Basketball Association. If you want, we are also very supportive."
Walkendien's words are very similar to what Yao Ming said at the beginning, and they gave Lin Ying plenty of options.
Actually, from the day of signing, no, more accurately, from the beginning of the draft, the Nuggets showed full value and respect for him.
They treat Lin Ying as Yao Ming!
This is not surprising, and it may even be different from what many people think. The Bucks also treated Yi Jianlian this way at the beginning.
promised the starting commitment, to give stable playing time, even including professional assistant coaches.
That assistant coach is now O'Connor. He was dug up by the Bucks for Yi Jianlian in September.
It’s just that Yi Jianlian was out of luck. After he won the December Rookie of the Month, he was injured when he was a little bit interested in training. This led to the follow-up domino effect.
Lin Ying is thinking.
When Yao Ming asked him, he was not sure whether the parent team that selected him would agree to release.
Now the parent team is completely open, so he needs to think about it himself.
His mind is analyzing the pros and cons.
benefit:
One, use competition for training.
The intensity of the Asian Championships is not low.
The intensity of the competition referred to here does not refer to the intensity of the competition.
Just like the Chinese men's basketball team in the previous summer league, it is completely suppressed physically and in rotation. That is the intensity of the competition.
The Asian Championships are for the country. Unlike the summer league, it is not for the physical talents. It is for the skills and tactics, execution, psychological quality, and even small moves. This is called the intensity of the competition.
or it can be bluntly understood that this is the adult version of the Crazy Three.
Using this kind of competition to practice by match, his improvement will be as fast as before.
2. Accumulate popularity
Duffy showed him all the quotations made by sneaker manufacturers. Although there are many, the quotations are actually not high.
There are many reasons, but the most fundamental thing is that he is not popular enough now.
It took more than ten years for the NBA to have a fan base in China.
Just relying on one NCAA "Crazy Three", his popularity in China is still limited.
And the fans of this Asian Championship team know that they are not very strong, so they are not looking forward to it.
The Basketball Association has no performance requirements. Yao Ming said that the semi-finals are good, but in fact it is not easy to get into the eighth from the grouping.
If he can lead his team to make some unexpected results in the Asian Championships, such as reaching the finals or even winning the championship.
If you count the previous summer league, a two-pronged approach will definitely boost your popularity.
Third, add qualifications.
This is easy to understand.
It is obviously not enough to play the summer league with the national team before.
This Asian Championship is an excellent opportunity to get a "voting title".
Disadvantages:
Only one, may get hurt.
Others, he can take Handy to the country together, not to say that he can't train by himself when he plays in the national team.
"Am I going alone?"
Lin Ying did not immediately give an answer after analyzing it, but asked instead.
He asked very professionally.
This is actually asking who the Nuggets will arrange for him to go with.
If an NBA-level team doctor can follow, then the problem is relatively small.
If you don’t dare to play with your team doctor, then simply don’t play basketball. You may get injured in training.
"Of course not, we will send a team to China with you."
"a team?"
Lin Ying was a little surprised, don't have to be so exaggerated.
"Yes, we will arrange a team doctor, a nutritionist, and..."
"I will go with me."
Before Walkendien could finish speaking, Carl took the conversation.
"what?"
Lin Ying was immediately shocked.
This head coach also goes to the Asian Championships with him? !
Even the coaching staff attaches great importance to it. At most, O'Connor will follow. I didn’t expect Carl, you...
"I just want to visit China."
Carl didn't explain much.
Because he can only know what he considers.
To be honest, Lin Ying's performance in the summer league gave him a lot of surprises.
The summer league level is low to low level, but many of them are adult players, if not there are many second-year students.
But Lin Ying performed quite well, after he watched it, he even had the idea of arranging his own tactics.
Here is another point of knowledge that Yao Ming mentioned before: the power of NBA coaches is far less than that of NCAA.
So you will see that many times the team stars and the coach quarrel openly, and in the end, the coach is likely to leave behind.
This is also easy to understand. The NBA is a business league, and it is the super stars that help the bosses make big money.
Coaches can be changed, but superstars do not mean that they can be changed.
So many times there is nothing right or wrong, and the management will stand on the side of the superstar.
And the Nuggets have one, no, two superstars who are very dominant.
So Carl wants to arrange for someone else, it is still a rookie tactic, he must be cautious.
At least, he has to make sure that Lin Ying is worthy of doing that, and that it will be good for the team after doing that.
How to confirm?
Naturally, I can see Lin Ying's performance through more actual combat.
The Asian Championships in front of me is a good opportunity, just to see Lin Ying's ability to lead the team.
"Lin, don't be under pressure, if you choose to go, we will all support you!"
Walkendian repeated what he said before.
Don't think he is enthusiastic, it is... he can't be enthusiastic!
Just before the management decided to arrange for them to come, an internal meeting was held.
One of the new phenomena mentioned is that there are already several companies on the Chinese side that are looking for cooperation with the Nuggets!
The reason is naturally because of Lin Ying's outstanding performance in the summer league!
Like those sneaker manufacturers, domestic companies were also cautious at the beginning.
But again, with the end of the summer league, they are now on a first-come, first-served basis!
Therefore, it is not normal for Walkendien to be unenthusiastic!
The Chinese market has not been formally developed yet, so there is so much sweetness.
When it is officially developed, wouldn’t it be full of profits? !
glanced at Walkendian, then at Carl, Lin Ying finally nodded.
In fact, when Yao Ming asked him, he was worried that the development of the matter would be the same as that written in a certain novel:
The team did not agree with him to go. The Basketball Association forced him to go. In the end, it was a riot, commonly known as: Basketball Palace Fight.
But now it seems that this era is still a bit different.
And he suddenly remembered the old Chinese doctor Oden said.
Although Oden still performed the operation as in history, it is said that he will recover sooner than expected.
Then Oden recommended the old Chinese doctor to him again.
If it is so powerful, then maybe it will be his insurance.
Even in the end, this wave is a coincidence of three parties!
The Basketball Association hopes that he will play in the Asian Championships to increase his qualifications. The Nuggets also hope that he will exercise and increase the influence of the Nuggets. He also intends to improve his strength through the Asian Championships. And popularity!
This Asian Championship really has to go to a wave.
If it goes well, a wave of prestige and popularity, maybe the sneaker contract will increase with the tide!
……
Two days after agreeing to the Nuggets management, Lin Ying left for China.
In addition to the team that the Nuggets gave him, he also has Duffy and Phil Handy on his side.
These are really a bunch of people, who didn’t know they thought they were going out to fight.
While waiting for the plane to enter China's airspace, Lin Ying's mood was a bit complicated.
It has been two years since the journey, because of training and the absence of his parents, he has not returned to China.
I didn't feel much before, but when I really wanted to set foot on my homeland again, the feeling suddenly became very strong.
This is probably the blood in the bones!
The plane landed at Ningbo Lishe International Airport, and O'Connor took them all the way out.
Speaking of him, he has also worked for the CBA club before, and he is an out-and-out China pass.
Then came out from the exit, they were stunned by the scene in front of them.
Especially Lin Ying, directly dumbfounded.
Because there are almost two hundred people waiting for them with signs outside, and most of them are women!
In the summer, everyone wore very cool clothes, and the scene was a little turbulent.
"Is there another star named Lin Ying coming today?"
Lin Ying’s first reaction was this.
This is very real, because he remembers similar things happened before.
An academician of the Academy of Sciences named Zhang Jie got off the plane and saw a group of people holding his name card thinking that he was welcoming him, only to realize that he was welcoming singer Zhang Jie.
What do women like, celebrities!
Although he is traveling, but with so many stars, how could he remember each one.
He is really afraid of misunderstanding and embarrassment.
But O'Connor walked over because he saw old acquaintances over there.
Ah De Jiang, the assistant coach of the men's basketball team, is also the head coach of the men's basketball team.
Lin Ying walked over, and the girls holding the sign became excited.
He was a little at a loss.
What the **** is this...what's the situation?
"Lin, do you want to go over and give them a photo with autographs?"
O'Connor had a face-to-face meeting with Ah Dejiang, and after introducing the people on both sides to each other, he turned his head and asked Lin Ying.
That means that if not, they will leave the airport directly by car.
Lin Ying nodded.
Although he didn't understand what was going on, he knew the importance of fans.
Especially the experience of the University of Texas in the past year, without the crazy support of the fans, they may not be able to go to the end.
And he also remembers a sentence Kobe said when he was asked by reporters why he went to battle with injuries:
You don’t know how much the fans are paying to watch your game. Maybe this is the only chance for some of them in their lives. You can’t let them down.
So he is still responsible to the fans.
As long as it's not as crazy as when I watched the Austin Bulls.
Lin Ying used to sign autographs to those fans ~www.readwn.com~ and took a group photo.
"He is very popular with girls."
Carl couldn't help but said as he looked at the scene in front of him.
"Well, handsome guy, don't all the little girls like this now?"
O'Connor translated it again, and Ah Te Jiang said with a wry smile after understanding.
You may not believe it. The most popular men's basketball team he brought is not the most potential Yi Li, nor the strongest Zhang Kai, but Yang Ming with the highest appearance.
No way, this is the mainstream of society now.
What is the hottest in this era? Idol drama!
Not to mention how popular the 2001 "Meteor Garden" was.
As far as basketball is concerned, "Basketball Fire" and "Slam Dunk" are both works in 2008.
So at this time, it is not too normal for basketball players with good looks to be madly sought after.
Yi Jianlian was so popular when he entered the NBA that year, partly because of his appearance.
Sunshine and handsome, these four words were almost bound to Uzbekistan back then.
Lin Ying's words are high-valued and cool, and it is strange that there are no girls like it.
At this moment, a crazy scream suddenly sounded from the crowd.
Ah's Jiang and Karl looked at them nervously, and then they found...
Um, what's the situation?
Lin Ying’s head was pressed directly into her chest by a big wave of women? ?
