This Forward is Not Serious

After talking to Sloan, Lin Ying was still very shocked.

Because of the simple pick-and-roll tactic, it is actually not easy to play well.

Especially the first tactic is a bit similar to the triangle offense I learned before. It is not a one-and-done approach, but relies more on the players' judgment.

But this also excites him, because this kind of variability means that it is not easy to be defended.

Of course, another thing that makes Lin Ying happy is Sloan's personal state. The old man is in high spirits.

When he originally invited Sloan, he was worried about Sloan's health.

Historically, Sloan suffered from Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease (dementia) in 2016.

You know, that's when Sloan retired and enjoyed his old age.

NBA head coaching is not an easy job. Now that he is back coaching, will these illnesses come early?

However, looking at Sloan's current state, it gives people the possibility that those diseases can be postponed or even not occur.

Because from a medical perspective, mental state and exposure to some industrial and agricultural toxins (including pesticides and herbicides, etc.) are the two major causes of Parkinson's disease.

Sloan won't plant corn after coaching, and his mental state has improved, which means he has avoided two major temptations at once.

A major cause of Alzheimer's disease is also a lack of social interaction.

So based on this analysis, it is really possible.

…

The Nets will participate in the China Game this year and compete with the Thunder in two games.

But it’s only mid-August now, and there’s still a month and a half left before Nadu.

Even including half a month of team training camp time, Lin Ying still has at least one month of personal time.

Originally, Duffy had arranged a trip to China and a series of endorsement activities for him, but because he pushed them all away, he basically spent this month accompanying Swift and doing personal training.

During this trip to London, in addition to honors, he also discovered that in addition to his ultimate move, there was room for improvement in his breakthrough finishing.

He still has to thank the white-hot space for letting him know that he can play fancy finishes and that he can use the sub-white-hot space to strengthen his training.

The training process was boring, but Lin Ying enjoyed such days very much.

For him now, such leisurely days are rare.

While he was training, Durant became a trending figure on social media again.

Not for anything else, just because he went to China!

China is particularly lively this year. Except for Yi Jianlian, who has returned to China early, James, Kobe, and Durant all went to China for activities.

Kobe Bryant is a daily visitor. Since 2006, he has been going to China basically every year.

James also joined this ranks after the 2008 BJ Olympics.

Popularity also needs to be managed by the stars themselves, and the two's high popularity in China is inseparable from their hard work.

As for Durant, this is his third trip to China. The last time was a year ago. It seems that he will join the once-a-year trip.

Moreover, he and Lin Ying have the same agent. If Duffy has arrangements for Lin Ying, he will naturally have arrangements for him as well.

Originally this was a normal thing.

Durant's outstanding performance for two consecutive years has also joined the top ten in the league. It would be strange not to go to China.

But American fans are unhappy again. Forget about showing off your affection for Scarlett at home, why not go to China to do activities right after the Olympics?

It’s really just that I don’t want to compete in the Olympics!

And seeing those happy photos of Durant participating in activities stung their nerves even more.

Suddenly, there was another scolding on social media.

Durant naturally stayed the same.

Originally it was only a three-day event, but he unexpectedly added it to a week.

If you find me unhappy, then I will make you even more unhappy!

While this approach made those people angry, it also won the support of some other fans for Durant.

His appearance, temperament, and behavior are all so much like ordinary people!

Commonly known as grounding.

Especially in China, as the Texas Twins are already very popular in China, this kind of behavior is too close.

And maybe Durant didn't think it was enough. In the extra time, he also received various interesting endorsements.

One of the endorsement helmets.jpg can be described as a classic.

When Lin Ying saw it, everyone was dumbfounded with laughter.

Durant's wave is indeed a precise positioning!

At this time, someone was also smiling very happily, David Stern!

From the rookie game to the All-Star game, he has been creating the topic of the Texas Twins.

Previously, 23VS24 had generated enough buzz and influence.

If the two can fight in the finals, it will definitely be a new explosive point.

Especially in the context of the booming Chinese market, it can greatly stimulate the market.

This preseason tournament was also conducted with this purpose in mind.

Durant's operation can be said to be a perfect warm-up. How can he not be happy?

While Lin Ying was training, preparations for Swift's new album were in the final stages and are expected to be released in late October.

While Lin Ying was happy for her, he also suddenly remembered something.

Swift's current company is called Big Machine Records. Historically, she and Swift have been at loggerheads over copyright issues.

That matter is more complicated, but one thing is certain. In order to force Swift to renew her contract, Big Machine's company threatened the copyrights of the previous six albums. After the blackmail failed, they were directly sold to the people who bullied Swift for a long time.

That's what will happen in 2018. It sounds very far away, but it will only happen in five or six years.

If you think about it, you have to plan early, otherwise it will still happen.

But how to plan is very particular.

Telling Swift what will happen in the future and asking her to default in advance is certainly unrealistic.

First, Swift is currently in a sweet period of cooperation with Big Machine. Even if Lin Ying said this, Swift would not believe it.

Second, the liquidated damages are very exaggerated. Big Machine is the only cash cow. How could people not consider this kind of thing at the beginning.

So compared to this, the more reliable method is of course...to directly acquire the record company!

Big Machine itself is not a big company, unlike giants like Universal.

According to Sony's acquisition intention last year, the value was between US$200 million and US$300 million.

Lin Ying had always felt that money was of no use to him before, but now it seems that he has a place.

About "I saved up money to buy my girlfriend's record label."

Suddenly I feel motivated to make money!

Moreover, he knew with an open mind that Swift's transformation would be successful, and he would definitely make money as an investment.

The only problem is that he doesn't seem to be able to come up with that much money at once.

He has never considered making money before. Taking into account the contract he just signed with the Nets, the Apple stock he bought that year, and some off-court endorsements, the total is only about 100 million US dollars.

After thinking for a few days, Lin Ying called Su Feng over and discussed setting up an investment company.

If you can't buy it directly, you can consider investing in it.

Regarding the matter of "taking shares to becoming the sole shareholder", his former team boss Kroenke had a vivid demonstration on Arsenal back then.

And it’s actually not that difficult to make money with his clairvoyance.

Real estate, the Internet, and even Bitcoin can all be manipulated.

If you can't grasp the small details, there is hope if you work on the general direction.

And Lin Ying also thought of someone at this time, his former teammate AJ Abrams.

Abrams had already discussed with Lin Ying that he was studying economics, and it was possible to start a small business after losing his job in the NBA.

There aren't many people in his company, so long as they can be trusted.

After all, he mainly uses his eyes to operate, and the others are just tools. As long as they can continue to execute and solve small problems.

Lin Ying just went ahead and asked Su Feng to prepare the materials for registering the company.

He has already thought of the name.

【Lin Shigong Investment Company】

After registering the company, Su Feng also thought about investing in movies.

This time Lin Ying immediately connected it with the previous thing of thinking of lyrics for Swift.

Find the director who is making a certain movie, give him the synopsis of a movie that will be popular, and then tell him that if we invest money, we will make a profit.

For example, go to Luc Besson and tell him that there is a science fiction movie about the development of the human brain and the transformation into a superwoman.

He has already thought of the starring role, Scarlett.

What? Scarlett is out of schedule?

Give Durant a few boxes of Huiyuan Kidney Treasures to encourage him to work hard.

Invest in a few good movies and your reputation will rise instantly.

With clairvoyance, money can make money very quickly.

then……

One month later.

Training camps for each team have started one after another.

Nets players also gathered at the Barclays Center to prepare for the new season.

"It's a little big!"

Yi Jianlian couldn't help but sigh when he saw the team's training hall.

He is going through what Deron and Lin Ying went through in the previous draft.

And Yi Jianlian is not a special case, most of the team members feel that way.

This training hall is not only large, but also brand-new. It also has glass walls on both sides, plus eight electronic screens in the front and rear.

If you tell me which small competition arena this is, some people will believe it!

The main thing is to highlight the word "Hao".

Lin Ying and Delong had visited it before, so their reactions were the calmest.

Delong looked like you have never seen the world before, while Lin Ying glanced at all his teammates.

No one looks obviously fatter, even Iverson looks very nice.

It seems that I have worked hard this past summer.

"Jo, have you lost weight?"

Lin Ying's eyes finally fell on Johnson.

"I said it last season, and I had conversations with Coach Sloan."

Johnson nodded.

Johnson did say that he had just returned from a knee injury at that time.

However, Lin Ying thought he was just talking, but he didn't expect that he actually lost weight.

This is not an easy task, because Johnson himself is not fat but strong.

If you want to lose weight, you have to go on a diet, and you have to do this in the following seasons.

It can be seen that he also wants to prove himself.

This is of course a good thing.

Desire, determination, these are what it takes to win a championship in the NBA.

This was also reflected in the first training session.

Whether they are already in the team or those who joined the team in the summer, their enthusiasm is very high.

This is easy to understand. Take a look at the people in the training camp. Except for Lin Ying and Billups, the rest are either losers or newcomers.

The lower limit of this kind of team will not be low.

And of course Sloan.

As the head coach with the most technical fouls in NBA history, Sloan's temper is not much better than that of Avery Johnson.

He would also yell at a player for a misplaced run.

But unlike Avery Johnson, he will tell you where you went wrong and what you should do right.

Although the team members definitely felt unhappy after being scolded, the progress was clearly visible.

So in the end, if the players want to avoid being scolded, they have to put their tactics in place.

This makes the Nets' training efficiency extremely high.

And there was a particularly interesting scene during training.

That was Deron making a wrong choice, which immediately earned him a scolding from Sloan.

But Deron smiled particularly happily, as if what he heard was not a curse, but the most beautiful voice.

Probably only he knows how strange it is to hear such curses again!

The first day's training session was very effective.

In the most intuitive terms, the Nets' pick-and-roll tactics are already in place.

Sloan's training efficiency is on the one hand, and on the other hand, the Nets have a pick-and-roll foundation before.

Coupled with pick-and-roll masters like Deron and Lin Ying, it is impossible to be slow even if you want.

When the training was over, Sloan also showed a kind smile.

Originally he thought it would take some time for the Nets to adapt to him, but now it seems that his worries are a bit unnecessary.

This Nets team will get off to a very good start.

After the training, Lin Ying took the whole team directly to Yao Restaurant in Brooklyn for dinner.

"Whatever you want, feel free to eat. If you don't get used to it, I'll treat you to Western food."

Lin Ying said so before leaving.

This immediately attracted cheers from all the team members.

Who doesn’t like to eat!

The boss of this team is so lovable!

At the dinner table, Billups was sitting on Lin Ying's left and Iverson was sitting on his right.

He also kept turning his head left and right to communicate with the two of them.

This scene looks amazing.

The two super guards who "assisted" Anthony one after another are now gathered in the Nets!

Lin Ying became the link connecting them.

Billups was in a particularly happy mood.

The atmosphere of the Nets is really much better than that of the Heat, and it is completely different from having to support Anthony all the time before. He feels that he only needs to be himself here.

Light-hearted and...

"I smell a championship."

Iverson sniffed his nose, turned his head and said to Lin Ying with a smile.

The meaning of this sentence, translated into English, is that he thinks the Nets can win the championship this season.

This is the first time he has said such words since leaving the 76ers.

When he was with the Nuggets, he just thought they had a chance, but he wasn't sure.

But this time, even though everything hadn't started yet, he already had a strong feeling.

Because the arena, the fans, the coaches, the team atmosphere, the team composition, even the league's tendencies... everything is where they should be.

"Yes, we will."

Lin Ying replied with a smile.

This time he didn't feel poisonous milk or flags, but was equally full of expectations.

If you can lead the Nets to the top in such a star-studded season, it will definitely be unforgettable!
