This Forward is Not Serious

"what is that?"

　　 Durant didn't react for the first time.

　　 because he had never heard of that brand before.

　　 But I have been with Lin Ying for a long time, he knows Chinese a little bit more or less.

　　 "Chinese brand?"

　　 So the next second, he followed and said again.

　　 Lin Ying nodded.

　　 "Why do you choose a Chinese brand? They have no market here!"

　　 Durant reminded.

　　 Even if Lin Ying chooses an Under Armour, it is better than choosing a Chinese brand of sneakers.

　　 Lin Ying smiled and said nothing.

　　 What Durant said is actually no problem, and the reminder as a friend is also very timely.

　　 But in fact, there is a problem with this sentence. Why does it have to have a market in the United States?

　　 The most important thing about sneaker endorsements is the price. Where to sell shoes is not to sell.

　　 "But who knows what will happen?"

　　 But he followed and said again.

　　 Choosing Anta is the answer that Durant asked after he analyzed his identity as a traverser.

　　 Anta is willing to invest in sneakers. The quality of sneakers will be good in the future, and the price will be relatively cheap.

　　 And at one point he and Durant thought of going together.

　　 Anta is not yet on the market yet!

　　 It’s difficult to get shares directly, but it’s not impossible to cooperate first and then develop a sub-brand in the future like Jordan did in the first place, and then get high dividends.

　　 This point is impossible for Nike and Adi brands.

　　 Of course, these things have not been written yet, and there are many things that must be considered.

　　For example, the domestic shoes of this period, whether Anta or Li Ning Peak, the quality of sneakers is almost meaningless;

　　 For example, the issue of shares is now only he thinks about it. He still doesn't know how far he can play in the NBA. Why would they give it?

　　 Maybe they didn’t even give it to Nike in the end!

　　 He will be short of money when he first entered the NBA, money is more important!

　　 "And we haven't even signed the agent yet."

　　 Lin Ying continued.

　　 Durant smiled and nodded when he heard it.

　　 This is, they are not professional about sneakers, and they will definitely need an agent to talk about it.

　　 "However, I will definitely sign New Balance!"

　　 Durant still said confidently.

　　……

　　 In the new draft prediction list updated the next day, Lin Ying went from the 33rd overall predicted to 29th overall!

　　 He is expected to be picked by the Phoenix Suns!

　　 Although it is only 4 picks higher than the original, the meaning of the first round and the second round are different.

　　 and the reviews given on the website are also in place.

　　 "He can shoot three pointers and pass the ball well. He also shows the defensive talent that the Suns lack."

　　 From this comment, it can be seen that it is not the triple-double that makes Lin Ying's rank improve, but the defensive ability he showed in the game.

　　 This is the fulfillment of what Barnes said before. Challenges mean opportunities.

　　 Lin Ying seized this opportunity.

　　 The U.S. side is fairly calm, but the domestic side has exploded.

　　 "Continuous triple-doubles, the NBA door has been opened to him!"

　　 The headline of the latest issue of "Basketball Pioneer" is very eye-catching.

　　 is also equipped with a back view of Lin Ying on the cover, facing the slowly opening NBA gate, the picture is full.

　　 In the article, Yang Yi also reported the facts relatively objectively:

　　 "What is the third person in history, that is to say, Lin Ying is the third in the NCAA 68 years to do it! He is side by side with the two legends of ‘Magic’ Johnson and ‘Big O’ Oscar Robertson!”

　　 "In an arena with more than 70,000 people, Lin Ying is like the hardest city wall in the world. You can have thousands of troops and powerful boats, but you can't get over the wall by one step."

　　 "I saw Texas fans holding up the flag of the Lone Star Republic at the scene. If you have an interesting knowledge of history, then you must know that at that moment, Lin Ying was the most powerful cowboy in the minds of Texans!"

　　 "I can say with certainty that Lin Ying will enter the NBA this year, and he may even be selected by the lottery. He has this potential."

　　……

　　 Is this objective?

　　 The lotto is arranged, God Nima is objective!

　　 But that’s true, because it depends on the environment.

　　 After a certain wave broadcast the first NCAA game, the evaluation of Lin Ying on the Internet has already increased.

　　 This wave of consecutive triple-doubles has brought the media directly into the carnival mode.

　　 Then when you finish reading the news reports on a certain wave, you feel that Yang Yi... is already objective and can no longer be objective.

　　 "Durant gave way to him tonight, who is the best rookie this year?"

　　 "NCAA's strongest inside line, Oden is already trembling."

　　 "Anthony watched the game on the spot and said bluntly that the Nuggets will win the game against Lin Ying!"

　　 "Jordan has never done it before, this night Lin Ying surpassed the **** of basketball!"

　　……

　　It's because Lin Yingren is in the United States and can't see these domestic reports, otherwise he would really vomit blood.

　　 But these reports are more true.

　　 In the first year of Yi Jianlian's entry into the NBA in history, similar reports have emerged one after another.

　　 "With a slight smile, he has won the trust of the coach."

　　 This sentence is simply the standard format of news headlines in a certain wave of this era.

　　……

　　 After a two-day break, the NCAA eight-to-four game started one after another.

　　 Compared to several other regions, this final in the Central and Western Division should have the lowest attention.

　　 There is no way, the encounter between the two big dark horses, the starlight itself is faint.

　　 After 40 minutes of fierce battle, the University of Texas defeated UNLV 68-58 and was close to the final four!

　　 After completing this feat, they not only exceeded the goal of the Elite Eight set by Barnes at the beginning of the season, but also tied the best record in team history in one fell swoop!

　　 But the process of the game is not as simple as many people think.

　　 For the University of Texas, encountering UNLV in the final is the best result for them. It is a missed opportunity.

　　 But the other way around, is it for UNLV?

　　 The University of Texas killed the No. 1 seed University of Kansas in the Midwest, which also helped them kill their strongest opponent!

　　 So after the game started, the high morale allowed UNLV to play a super-intensity defensive pressure.

　　 Moreover, UNLV also introduced the "Jordan Law" that the University of Texas had never encountered before.

　　 Jordan's law, this is a strategic law invented by the Pistons in the last century to target Jordan.

　　 Its core content is: use various methods to defend against Jordan, and do everything to the extreme.

　　 In this game, this law can be called "Durant's Law".

　　Because UNLV defends Durant really does everything.

　　 Double-teaming is the norm, even one-on-one will never let Durant enter the offensive rhythm he wants.

　　 This strategy of UNLV can be said to be no problem at all.

　　As a team with few stars, defense is the only thing they can rely on.

　　 Their upset defeat before, relied on one-handed defense.

　　 And to the University of Texas, they put their defensive focus on Durant.

　　 is not just the regular season, even after entering the crazy three, Durant averaged 30 points in three games!

　　 Limit Durant and they have a chance to win!

　　 This idea is also in line with the central idea of ​​"Jordan's Law".

　　 They would rather not be defeated by Jordan's teammates than to be defeated by Jordan.

　　 Similarly, UNLV players would rather be defeated by Durant's teammates than Durant.

　　 Then, they asked for benevolence and benevolence, and got their wish!

　　 Durant only made 11 attempts in this game and only made 3 goals. Relying on 8 of 12 free throws, he finally scored 14 points and made 4 turnovers.

　　 His weakness of inadequate ball holding ability and average passing ability was clearly exposed in the game.

　　 This is also the first time he scored less than 20 points since entering the "Crazy Three".

　　 But the rest of the University of Texas scored 54 points together!

　　 This is also the most since the University of Texas entered the "Crazy Three"!

　　 Augustine 13 points and 10 assists, Abrams 15 points, Lin Ying 17 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists, 4 of 7 three-pointers!

　　 After this game, the outside world's perception of the University of Texas has undergone a fundamental change.

　　 Despite Lin Ying's consecutive triple-doubles, the outside world defines the University of Texas as "Durant's team."

　　 But now that Durant is guarded strictly, other people can stand up and score, and more than one person has come forward.

　　 Take off the coat of the dark horse, this University of Texas is very beautiful.

　　 They seem more like...underestimated!

　　 But if you think about it, they don’t lack talent!

　　I said that I have no experience. Isn’t it a process of accumulating experience all the way to the "Crazy Three".

　　 Of course, the most intuitive feeling is that Lin Ying's presence is getting stronger and stronger!

　　……

　　 "Yao, have you watched the news?"

　　 Rockets' locker room, Alston looked at Yao Ming in disbelief.

　　 "What? Is Danny Angie fined?"

　　 Yao Ming turned his head and asked.

　　 There is a hot news in the past few days. It is that Angie was fined 35,000 by the league for sitting and chatting with Durant’s mother at the game.

　　 No one knows what we talked about, but when the Celtics have a high probability of getting the first three picks, it is indeed a violation of the rules to get in touch with Durant's mother.

　　 You need to know that Durant is expected to be selected by the Celtics now on the draft prediction list.

　　 "No, no, the University of Texas has made it to the Final Four. It's incredible, Yao, how did you know it!"

　　 Crazy three upsets are frequent, and most of the Rockets are dead.

　　 Now only the Ohio State University bought by McGrady, the University of Florida bought by Alstom, and the University of Texas bought by Yao Ming!

　　 Those two teams are popular teams in their own right, and they won’t make much money if they buy the right ones.

　　 But Yao Ming’s odds are 200 to 1!

　　Alstom thinks Yao Ming is buying less, if he really buys 80,000...

　　 This is much more than Yao Ming makes a year!

　　 The performance of strength is perfect to miss.

　　 "It looks like we can have a big meal."

　　 Yao Ming said with a smile.

　　 After he said this, there was cheering in the locker room.

　　 Yao Ming’s EQ is high.

　　 Although it has been said before, I will invite the whole team to dinner.

　　 But that can be considered casually, and if I repeat it now, it is basically a certain thing.

　　 "No, Yao, the University of Texas won't win the next game."

　　 McGrady leaned over and said with a smile.

　　 McGrady’s emotional intelligence is unstable.

When 　　 is high, you can say "he is great" when evaluating cxk skills;

When 　　 is low, you can say in front of the media that you have never worked with a superstar.

　　 Yao Ming looked at Alstom suspiciously.

　　 "The next game of Texas University's opponent is Ohio State University."

　　 Alston said.

　　 Yao Ming nodded after hearing it.

　　 No wonder McGrady would say that, because he bought Ohio State and bought a lot.

　　 "That might be difficult, but I still send text messages to encourage my little brother."

　　 Yao Ming quickly skipped the topic.

　　 The relationship between him and McGrady is actually not as good as the domestic media.

　　 This is actually very easy to understand. Apart from the personality difference shown in this small detail just now, there is another point that is easily overlooked.

　　 McGrady, but the Rockets traded Francis for it!

　　Who is Francis? Yao Ming is the most connected player in the NBA.

　　 At the time, Francis smashed Yao Ming. Who didn't glf?

　　 Although from a professional point of view, this kind of personal emotion should not be mixed in, but which player can really do this?

　　 After Yao Ming finished speaking, he really took out his cell phone from the closet.

　　 He first read the news, and after reading it, he sent a text message to Lin Ying.

　　 is basically words of praise and encouragement.

　　 Of course in addition to these, he also added one.

　　……

　　 After taking a shower at the end of the game, Lin Ying heard the phone ring as soon as she sat down.

　　 took it out and saw that it was a text message from Yao Ming.

　　 The previous content is not surprising, and it is the same as the last time it is a word of encouragement.

　　 But there is one last one.

　　 "If you have decided to participate in the draft this year, we can sit down and have a meal and have a chat."

　　 Yao Ming, this is supposed to be someone who wants to give him some advice.

　　 This doesn't seem to match Yao Ming's previous image of being cautious and not good at being a teacher, but in fact this is what Yao Ming will do.

　　 Because of these two events, the nature is different.

　　 For Lin Ying’s technical advice, of course, he needs to be cautious and consider the consequences.

　　 But to give some experience of NBA adaptation, this thing does no harm.

　　 In fact, after Yi Jianlian confirmed his candidacy, Yao Ming gave two suggestions during media interviews.

　　 One is to let Yi Jianlian learn Western culture and take the initiative to deal with and communicate with the team members;

　　 The second is to allow Yi Jianlian to increase confrontation ~www.wuxiahere.com~ especially to increase the training of upper limb strength, so that he can adapt to the intensity of the NBA earlier.

　　 Those suggestions are entirely his personal experience, and later proved to be very good.

　　 It's just a pity that the two didn't have direct contact at the time, and it's unclear whether the media rumors eventually spread.

　　 The final result is that it did not play its role.

　　 For Yao Ming, there is no essential difference between Lin Ying and Yi Jianlian.

　　 And because of previous contact, he has a more favorable impression of Lin Ying.

　　 has direct contact information, and of course he is willing to take the initiative to give some similar suggestions.

　　 Lin Ying, of course he will not refuse!

　　 Don't look at how well he is playing now, the draft pick is also bullish all the way.

　　 But he knows the difference between NBA and NCAA.

　　 Also, unless he really goes to the same team as Durant, one of the big problems he will inevitably face is communication.

　　 There is no trouble at the University of Texas. On the one hand, these teammates are really good. Another very important reason is that he brought Durant with him when he came in.

　　 In the team warm-up match, if it weren't for Durant, Augustine would not pass the ball to him, and he would have no chance to show his organizational ability.

　　 It's definitely unrealistic for you to turn him overnight. Maybe Yao Ming can give him some useful advice in this regard.

　　 After all, Yao Ming has been playing in the NBA for 5 years, and he is always looking for him.

　　 Of course, these are actually the latter things.

　　 There is one more thing he must ask Yao Ming in advance.

　　 After sending a text message to confirm that Yao Ming had time, he called Yao Ming over.
