This Forward is Not Serious

In the last game on the last day of December, the Nuggets successfully won the Knicks, setting the December record at 12 wins and 2 losses.

They also became the team with the highest winning percentage in the West in December.

This record is related to the schedule. After all, the opponents played in November are stronger, and the opponents in December will naturally be weaker.

But their own outstanding performance is the most critical factor.

Especially after Nene was absent, they won all the games they should win.

The best honor of this season will soon be released.

With a record of No. 1 in the Western Conference in December, Carl was successfully elected Coach of the Month in December.

However, in the selection of the Player of the Month, Anthony regretted not being elected!

The player of the month was finally given to Chris Paul of the Hornets.

Paul led the team to a 10-4 record in the December game, averaging 24.3 points, 3.6 rebounds and 9.8 assists per game.

The results of this selection also made Anthony very dissatisfied.

He publicly questioned the fairness of the selection in front of the media.

Because theoretically, the best player of the month should be given to the best performer in the team with the best performance.

The Nuggets, including Karl, are also complaining.

But this didn't work in the end.

Because the award considered as the "best in data" is not just the Rookie of the Month mentioned earlier.

Anthony averaged 22.8 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game in December, which is much inferior to Paul.

However, this is obviously unreasonable, because a team with a good record theoretically beats the opponent more often, and the more cores and the less stats are naturally a little closer.

Fortunately, I lost the east corner and reaped the mulberry.

Anthony regretted that he missed the player of the month, but Lin Ying was able to win the rookie of the month!

He defeated Durant twice in a row!

In the December game, Lin Ying averaged 13.4 points, 6.5 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.5 blocks per game, and his three field goal percentage was 49.3%/85%/40.2%!

Almost all of his statistics have improved compared to November.

The scoring is still second only to Durant, ranked second in rookies, third in rebounds, and first in assists!

And his shooting percentage is second only to Yi Jianlian as a rookie!

In the national derby against the Bucks, he contributed a career-high 33 points.

Compare Durant's December data.

19.7 points, 4.2 boards, 2.1 assists and 1.3 blocks, 40.7% shooting.

At the end of the month, he played the previously mentioned game of 2, 4 points of 17 points.

The Sonics had only 5 wins and 9 losses in December.

Retreat and advance, coupled with the comparison of record, this best rookie is more reasonable.

For two consecutive months, Durant has been elected as the best of the month, which is enough to make domestic fans excited for a long time!

And this time it was not just Lin Ying that excited them!

In addition to Lin Ying's rookie of the month in the West, the Eastern Conference's Rookie of the Month was won by Yi Jianlian!

In the December game, Yi Jianlian averaged 12.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.2 blocks per game, and his three field goal percentage was 50.3%/83.7%/40%!

He ranks third among rookies in scoring, second in rebounds behind Horford, and first in field goal percentage!

Also in the national derby with the Nuggets, he contributed a career-high 29 points and also scored his first double-double with 29 points and 10 rebounds!

With this two-pronged approach, how can domestic fans not climax!

And no one thinks that Gu Da is blowing, so they dominate the performance of the best rookie in the East and the West, don't they deserve to be called the East Emperor and the West Emperor? !

...

And for Lin Ying, this wave is still double happiness.

On the first day of 2008, people from Anta came to him with a pair of sample shoes!

In fact, people from Anta have been communicating with him one after another about the design of shoes.

Although he does not design things, Anta still respects his personal wishes.

Then Lin Ying also gave some ideas one after another.

Some of them were his personal preferences, and some were influenced by the heavenly eyes he opened.

All in all, when this sample shoe really appeared in front of him, he had only one feeling after reading it:

marvelous! This is the shoe he wants in his heart!

If you regard it as your first signature sneaker, it can be described as "perfect".

Lin Ying's affirmation also made Anta's people feel that the hard work of the past two months has not been in vain.

You know, in order to design this sneaker, the entire design department rushed to work but basically didn't sleep much.

Because sneakers need to go through multiple steps, such as material selection, board opening, and boarding, from design to sample shoes, and it may be tossed back and forth for various reasons.

In addition, the parent company of Fila is involved, not to mention the degree of hardship.

Now Lin Ying is also satisfied, that makes them feel that all the efforts are worthwhile.

The shoes are OK, and then there is the global press conference.

As the first shoe in the LinK series, LinK-1 is definitely how to make the impact.

Just like AJ-1 back then, this may even determine whether Anta's investment in Lin Ying can really be successful.

They have bought a lot of newspaper headlines.

The date of the conference was initially set on January 9.

1 is Lin Ying's NCAA jersey number, 9 is Lin Ying's NBA career lucky number.

This wave of arrangements, carefully.

"I think it will be a blockbuster."

Lin Ying is also very confident.

Because perhaps it is my own opinion to join, this shoe is not only good-looking, but also very advanced in design.

...

Lin Ying's press conference will take a few days.

At this time, another very important thing also began at the same time.

The NBA's All-Star vote.

Each team will provide several candidates as a shortlist, and Lin Ying's name is impressively listed.

If you change to the era when the NBA did not restrict voting in China a few years ago, with Lin Ying's current popularity in China, it would really be possible to start the All-Star in minutes.

It is very easy for the scene to get out of control when a woman is in love with such things as voting.

However, even if restricted, Lin Ying still got a lot of votes in the first round, and finally ranked third among forwards, second only to Anthony and Duncan, and overpowered Nowitzki and Gasol, who had just been traded to the Lakers. .

This surprised Stern.

In history, after Yi Jianlian went to the Nets, he almost squeezed out Garnett and became the All-Star starter!

Yi Jianlian averaged just over 8 points per game that year, and his shooting percentage was less than 40%.

If this is a real starter, the influence of the All-Star Game will be directly lost.

Moreover, before Yao Ming was selected, Stern felt the "power" of Chinese fans and was scared to immediately change the rules.

Lin Ying is giving him another lesson this time.

Of course Lin Ying didn't care about those, and the All-Star is still a little out of reach for him now.

What he cares more about is the sneaker conference that is about to be brought, and... the recent status of the Nuggets.

Entering January, the impact of Nene's absence on the Nuggets is magnifying.

Especially after the easy schedule in December, the schedule in January has become a bit difficult again.

And I don’t know if it’s because of not being elected Player of the Month in December. After Anthony entered January, his desire for singles has become a lot stronger.

Including Lin Ying's dramatic increase in playing time, he also began to be focused on by his opponents.

Before playing the Cavaliers, Ilgauskas' defense against him was referenced by many teams.

Because of his average offensive ability with the ball, a tall and wingspan inside line can interfere with the passing route, which will greatly restrict him.

This is what Lin Ying needs to overcome in the next game, or to put it another way, this is also his rookie wall.

These triple doors came down, and after the honeymoon period, the Nuggets suffered a wave of losing streak.

They are beginning to face challenges.

But this is also a normal thing. The NBA has 82 games in a season which is very long. It will go through many different stages and the team will have its ups and downs.

If the Nuggets can overcome and go further, you will have a chance to go further in the playoffs.

...

Time comes to January 9.

Hyatt Regency Denver, also known as the Colorado Convention Center.

This is the seventh tallest building in Denver, with a height of 149 meters.

Lin Ying’s LinK-1 conference was held in the conference room on the first floor here.

A large number of media reporters and fans came to watch.

Among them, there are many Chinese faces, even Chinese faces.

Chinese players signed with a Chinese brand and held a signature sneaker conference for the first time. How could this be a bit exciting.

And the changes Lin Ying brought to the Nuggets made him quite low in the hearts of Denver fans.

All in all, by the time the conference started, the seats for nearly a thousand people in the venue were basically full.

In the first row, a variety of long guns and short cannons were erected, and the scene was quite lively.

People at Anta were very happy to see this effect.

The smell of wine is also afraid that the alley is deep, and the talent is still high and still needs someone to appreciate it.

In addition to the high quality of sneakers, the topic is also very important.

Before the press conference started, Lin Ying and Duffy entered the venue together.

This drew a burst of cheers from the scene.

Which of the people who can come to the venue is not directed at Lin Ying. Doesn't anyone think that someone will come here because of Anta at this time?

Lin Ying is now walking on the road that Jordan has walked.

But success depends on the effect of this first pair of shoes.

After Lin Ying arrived, the press conference officially began.

In the beginning, of course it was impossible to light up the shoes directly.

The shoes are packed in a long transparent box and covered with red cloth.

This is also very Chinese cultural. Just like a big girl getting married and unmasking the head, it is a good picture.

It started with an introduction to some research and development.

For the American market, Anta is a brand-new company, and its quality is definitely what fans care most about.

During this process, Fila's technology continued to appear, which also made some American fans feel at ease.

After all, Fila was considered popular back then, and even many people passed it through, so with this grounding, they also have a bottom line about LinK-1.

After the research and development is over, it is the design.

The design is relatively straightforward, and the shoe shape is directly displayed at the beginning.

The venue also boiled instantly.

These shoes... Nima is so cool and handsome!

First of all, it is a Chinese mandarin duck shoe!

At this time, there are not many mandarin duck shoes. The more well-known one is McGrady's Tmac-3.

And Lin Ying wore that pair in his first show, so the fans are more impressed.

Secondly, love this hue!

Three colors of black, white and gold!

The left foot is black, the right foot is white, the black shoes are white, and the white shoes are white.

Then the logo golden "LinK" shoe logo, plus a golden Velcro!

If mandarin duck shoes are just not many in this era, then Velcro is rare.

Many of the shoe designs at this time are still those with a zipper in the middle!

Only a few, like Iverson’s answer9, have Velcro.

This thing theoretically increases the degree of wrapping, but in fact it is more aesthetic.

Compared with the Tmac-3, the tongue and laces are directly exposed to the outside, and the last Velcro instantly gives a sense of tightness and security.

This is also an important reason why Velcro will be popular on a large scale in the future.

This is also Lin Ying's request.

Although he doesn't know much about sneaker design, but the sky eye is used in this way, it will be popular in the future.

And on the opposite side of the shoe logo, is Lin Ying's iconic silhouette: the buckle!

The scenes that have impressed fans the most in his career so far: Hibbert, Oden, Bowen!

The long arm is exclusive, and it complements Jordan's trapeze logo.

It can be said that just the design of this shoe has already raised the appetite of fans.

Then the real climax comes from the pricing of sneakers!

This scene is somewhat similar to last year's Apple 1 conference.

Anta actually sold LinK-1 in different stages!

It is divided into fan models, actual combat models and commemorative models!

The commemorative model is the most special. In addition to the previous designs, there are paintings on the outer vamps, which are the back pictures of the Linying Stadium wearing jerseys.

The black side is the back of Lin Ying's No. 1 jersey during the NCAA period, and the white is the back of the No. 9 jersey in the Nuggets period.

There is also a "?" sign on the heel.

It is priced at US$328 and is limited to a thousand pairs worldwide!

Needless to say, this type of sneaker equivalent to a limited edition is prepared by local tyrants, and it must be grabbed.

The normal model is the one shown before, with a re-engraved signature.

Its price is 128 U.S. dollars, which is equivalent to about RMB 935.

The price of answer9 in the same period is 1350 yuan.

As a signature sneaker, this price can be said to be quite close to the people!

The last is the fan money.

The shoes are the same, that is, the air cushion technology and materials are relatively inferior, but there are also re-engraved signatures, and the price is only 82 US dollars!

Converted to RMB~www.wuxiahere.com~, it is about 600 yuan.

The price came out in an uproar.

In terms of technology content and design investment, these shoes should definitely not be so cheap, but this wave of Anta's first-generation shoes is obviously rushing to open the market!

And before the fans reacted, the host announced another news.

There are several pairs of Lin Ying's autographs in all sneakers!

Although the number is not large, it is random, just like a lottery, it depends on your luck!

And in order to prevent leakage in sales, all shoes are also externally sealed!

At this moment, the scene was completely boiling.

They have only one idea in their minds.

where to buy? Give me a pair!

ps: Surprised or not? Was it unexpected? Monthly ticket to go to you!
