This Forward is Not Serious

Vol 2 Chapter 349: Strength prediction

...

15 points in a single quarter, 23 points in the audience.

To say that the Nets had the biggest gain in the first China game, it was none other than Iverson.

In particular, the opening of the second quarter with 12 points in a row, and the performance of 15 points in a single quarter, fully reflects his own scoring explosive power.

And as Su Qun said in the commentary, that is where the Nets can't replace other substitutes.

So Sloan took Iverson to the press conference after the game.

"Will Iverson get a rotation position?"

The reporter below is also very realistic.

The Nets are now fiercely competitive, which is also a major focus of attention from the outside world.

"AI has shown its competitiveness, and it is very positive for the team."

Sloan doesn't like the media, but after so long coaching in the league, his speaking skills are definitely not low.

"I think the Nets now have at least 12 people who can enter the rotation. It must be a happy annoyance, right?"

However, the reporter was obviously not satisfied with his answer, and soon continued to ask in another way.

This rotation arrangement is no small matter, because it is easy to cause conflicts within the team if it is not done well.

This is actually a very important part of coaching ability. Historically, Mike D'Antoni has been criticized for this.

"No, competition is a condition for making people better."

Sloan's answer was straightforward.

He has a very successful player career. He played for the Bulls for ten years, has 2 All-Stars and 6 All-Defensive Teams. He is also the only player in his career who has rebounded 7 rebounds and 2 steals since the NBA has statistics.

His No. 4 jersey is the first jersey retired by the Bulls (the Bulls only retired 3 jerseys in total).

From his honor, it can be seen that he was a very tough and competitive player during his player period.

The subsequent years of coaching with the Jazz also reflected this point.

Competition has run through his entire life before.

Of course, it will not follow.

And what he disdains to say is that this is a small scene.

Lin Ying should be impressed by this.

When he first entered the league, Anthony was suspended for beating, and he and Iverson led the team forward.

At that time, they played against the Jazz and then lost.

Because the Jazz played too many people, some of them were Deron, Boozer, Haplin, Kirilenko, Okur, Millsap, Ronnie Brewer, Korver, CJ Miles...

At that time, Sloan arranged the group very well.

The current situation of the Nets should be very similar.

Sloan was too boring, and the reporter turned the subject of questions to Iverson.

After asking some polite questions, the reporter then asked about his performance tonight.

"We can feel your desire to play tonight is very strong, can you tell us why?"

Iverson smiled when he heard the reporter's question. He should have thought that he would be asked.

"I'm more nervous than I was in my rookie season."

When Iverson said this, his right hand held the back of his left hand, which was a subconscious reaction, but it also showed that what he said was really nervous.

"It's very special for me, to fight for a rotation position, but I now enjoy my time with the Nets and strive for the same goal."

Mentality, Iverson’s words make people feel his mentality has changed, and it makes people feel a little unbelievable.

Because Iverson didn't play as a starter in the past, the phrase "why should all-star players play on the bench" is still in my ears.

But his words actually made a good explanation.

The 37-year-old short player who has retired and rested for a year, it is impossible to start again if he wants to continue in the NBA.

So either he will not fight and enjoy his retirement time;

Now that he announced his comeback in order to play with Lin Ying, the hurdle in his heart had obviously passed.

Moreover, in the second half of his sentence, he also said his current thoughts. Not only did he want to play with Lin Ying, but also to fight for the championship he dreamed of.

Even if it is no longer the protagonist.

"We heard the fans chanting the MVP for you in the second quarter. Does that make you feel special?"

The reporter asked again.

"Yes, the Chinese fans are very enthusiastic, they are the best fans."

Iverson said this from the heart, and there are indeed many emotions.

MVP, that word is too old for him.

...

After the press conference, Iverson and his agent went busy.

The China Game is not only an official NBA promotional activity, but also a gold rush and promotion opportunity for influential players.

Although Iverson is already a "balloon star", you know, the Chinese are the most old-fashioned.

Sloan did not return to the hotel, but went to the office to sort out the situation of tonight's game.

The coaching habits of each coach are different. Like Jeff Van Gundy, he always likes to prepare piles of small notes before the game.

But Sloan prefers to analyze and think after the game, just like writing after watching a movie, but he will spend more time relatively.

Of course, for Sloan, it's just basketball-related things, and he always has plenty of time.

It took more than an hour before Sloan came out of the office.

He is not a person who likes to show his emotions on his face, but at this moment you can still feel the joy of his face.

This preseason game is of great significance.

When Lin Ying extended an invitation to him, he was actually worried about whether he could coach the Nets well during the period of time he was thinking about.

Because just like what he said about you, it doesn’t need to be approximate, but it must be his last coaching opportunity. If coaching is not good, then he will sprinkle a handful of salt on his own wound and bring it to the grave in pain. Kind.

But this feels really good to him at the beginning.

Although he is a relatively stable person, he can't help but have a little expectation.

Even when the reporter asked him if he would be troubled by happiness because of the large number of people, he actually had another voice in his heart after answering:

I Sloan, I have never fought such a rich battle in my life!

"Bang! Bang!"

There is the sound of basketball hitting the floor.

He rolled up his sleeves and checked the time of his watch. It was past ten o'clock in the evening. Is anyone else practicing in the arena?

He followed the sound, found that it was the game arena, pushed the door in, and then saw that Lin Ying was practicing there.

Sweaty.

Apparently, I came over after attending the press conference.

Sloan was still slightly surprised when he saw this.

He stood at the door for a while, waited for Lin Ying to rest in training before walking in.

"coach?"

Lin Ying took a sip of water and realized that Sloan had come in. She put down the uncapped bottle and stood up.

"Have you not gone back yet?"

Sloan's tone was very gentle, and after speaking, he sat next to Lin Ying.

When Deron saw it, he should suspect that his vinegar bottle had been knocked over.

"I was busy participating in activities two days ago, and the training was over, so I will practice more today."

Lin Ying explained with a smile.

Perhaps Sloan’s attitude towards him has always been very good, or perhaps because of the chat in Sloan’s room, Lin Ying did not feel the inexplicable sense of oppression in front of Sloan like others, but seemed very relaxed. .

Sloan nodded with a smile.

He hadn't deliberately paid attention to Lin Ying's training before, but to listen to what he meant, Lin Ying's training should be normal.

"I am not surprised about your progress now."

He was also moved.

In the era when he was a player, including the era of Utah Shuangsha, it was the most basic for players to train hard.

Because you have to be eliminated if you don't practice, competition is everywhere.

But I don’t know when it will start. This trend has gradually faded, especially for many players with good talents.

They seem to have forgotten that basketball skills are improved by training.

This is not a problem for the individual, it is the freedom of choice, but it is very painful for the coach.

Because it is the players who always play on the court, so it is naturally the players who determine the upper limit.

But obviously, Lin Ying is not that kind.

You say this, why do you like it the more you touch it!

Rick Barnes, George Carr, Alvin Gentry: The same for me!

A few brief exchanges brought the distance between the two people closer.

The two went on to talk a lot, about pick-and-roll tactics, team rotation, and even finally talked about Lin Ying's personal life.

"I have a lovely granddaughter. If it weren't because you already have a girlfriend, I would even like to introduce her to you."

Lin Ying discovered that Sloan actually has a humorous side.

I just treat you as my coach, I didn't expect you to want to be my grandfather!

...

The Nets' preseason game went very smoothly.

There were no losses in 7 games, including two China games.

And apart from playing the Heat because it was the last normal rotation, the previous games were the main players only playing halftime.

What does this show?

The Nets are strong!

It's not only that the starting strength is strong like last season, but also that it is strong including the substitutes.

This is a kind of champion appearance in strength, and it is also a different place from the sun that Lin Ying had stayed before.

After the preseason, the footsteps of the new season are very close.

At this time, ESPN ranked the team's strength in the new season as in previous years.

Because of the injuries caused by the Olympics and some of the performance in the preseason, this ranking still attracted a lot of heated discussion.

The biggest controversy comes from the top of the list.

No other team ranked first in the first list, it was the Nets.

*List ranking:

1. Nets

Two, the Knicks

Three, the Lakers

Fourth, the Celtics

Five, Thunder

Six, Mavericks

Seven, Spurs

8. Walkers

...

This result can be said to be far beyond everyone's expectations.

Even if the Nets performed well in the preseason, they are obviously not qualified compared to other super teams!

This is looking down on the Mavericks, down on the Knicks, down on the Lakers, or down on the Thunder and Celtics!

In fact, even Lin Ying was surprised when she knew the latest ranking.

Because ESPN has always been James' most loyal partner!

The previous decision one, and the overwhelming reports after winning the championship in 2011, nothing can explain the problem better than that.

But now, ESPN is actually diving!

Could it be an interest dispute that caused the two sides to part ways?

This possibility is almost zero. With the size of ESPN and the mature character of James, it is impossible to happen.

Come to think of it, it's more like... well, yes, to kill.

Last year's number one was finally swept away~

And this strength prediction list is only the first period.

The Knicks are injured because of Bogut, and the Mavericks are not too high in this ranking because of Yao Ming.

But even with such a background, the Lakers, Thunder and Celtics fans will definitely not do it.

A big wave of fighting is coming, not only for ESPN, but also for the Nets.

Even more closely, take a look at the person who wrote the ranking this time, it is A·Smith!

Who is Smith? The famous Zhanhei! Comes with ridicule!

As soon as this wave of ranking came out, "Smith once again Black James" did not run.

Wonderful!

In fact, in the first time this list came out, there were already fans fighting for James.

"Even if you switch over to a pig, you won't put the Knicks with the Big Five behind the Nets."

This statement can be said to be quite true.

And this wave is actually a plus for James.

Others are "people sit at home, and the pot comes from the sky."

James is "people sitting at home, bread falling from the sky".

So after this wave, in addition to the things that Iverson thought about before should be in the "right" position, there was another [attention].

Fans really want to see what the Nets, which are ahead of the Knicks, look like in the new season.

The Nets' opponent in the new season opener is the Heat.

Stern was never intended to target Anthony.

He did it deliberately.

Then, by the way, arrange a better schedule for the Nets.

If you look at the Nets' schedule for the new season, you will find that the Nets' schedule this season and last season are really the same.

No way, [Alliance Tendency].

And they are all playing scripts, you will find that Stern and Xiao Hua have completely different tendencies.

Xiao Hua's feeling is completely compelling.

Take the year before Lin Ying crossed as an example. At that time, Antetokounmpo stepped on Owen's reputation (whether intentionally or not).

It was also that year, Paul staged a veteran undead ~www.readwn.com~ and led the team to the finals.

If the final solution that year is that Paul killed the villain Antetokounmpo and led the team to the top.

Believe me, the attention of the NBA will pick up by at least 30%.

The veteran is immortal, youth is forever!

But look at Stern’s current masterpieces, the sun chasing dreams, LeBron who won the championship as a team, and the epic revenge of Wang bombing inside.

For three years in a row, the appetites of fans have been filled.

Even the fans of the losing side can't help applauding the fans of the winning side.

One is to complete the work, and the other is to create a piece of art.

The gap is so obvious.

Of course, once the stage is set up, whether it can be done or not is a matter for the actors. Remember the website of this site, www. biquxu. Com, easy to read next time, or enter "" on Baidu to enter this site
