This Forward is Not Serious
Chapter 87 Fighting with a Ball
This wave of calls came in a timely manner. First, find a place to deal with it for one night. After signing the contract, he can find a better house by himself.
The next day, Duffy arrived in Denver by plane, and went to the Pepsi Center with Lin Ying to prepare for signing the contract.
Lin Ying is the earliest of this year's rookies, and neither Oden nor Durant have signed yet.
He has been to Pepsi Center before, and he is already familiar with it when he comes again.
The posters of Iverson and Anthony have not been changed, and their smiles are still sweet.
It's just that their 1-4 performance in the first round of the playoffs last season was a bit sorry for the fans' expectations of them.
Arriving at the manager's office, Lin Ying met general manager Walken Dean and head coach George Karl.
As Walkendine said on the phone before, the Nuggets have no signing plans for the summer.
Translated into vernacular, it means that there is no salary space to sign someone. Lin Ying is their biggest signing, so they naturally attach importance to it.
And the No. 9 pick in the draft year, the card is also there.
Karl also came up and gave him a big hug.
Carl is 50 and 6 years older than Barnes.
And he, like Jeff Van Gundy, has a bright forehead and a mirror.
Coupled with his round head, there is an inexplicable sense of comedy.
As a famous coach, Karl's popularity in history is much smaller than that of Popovich and Sloan, and Lin Ying doesn't know much about him.
The phone call on draft night, the conversation right now is everything.
Carl seems to be different from the one in the legend, quite gentle?
The contract was also signed smoothly.
Although there are many rules and regulations, these are the league's standard contracts for first-round picks.
And Duffy is on the side too, so he just has to sign.
The only real thing he can see is the amount of his contract.
The contracts of the NBA's first-round picks are all the same, 2+1+1 model, full guarantee for two years, and team options for the next two years.
The specific amount will vary depending on the player's ranking, and the higher the ranking, the higher the annual salary.
According to Lin Ying, it is 9.52 million in 4 years, and 2.03 million before tax in the first year.
After paying taxes, it is estimated to be around 1.23 million.
But this is not bad. For example, Alando Tucker, the 29th pick in the first round, the head star of the University of Wisconsin, only 930,000 a year before tax.
Lin Ying is already more than twice his size.
Of course, this is all small money. If you can make a fortune in the rookie contract, it is not impossible to double it by five or six times.
Then there are two ways to receive NBA contract salary:
One is also the most common, issued twice a month, the uniform pattern of American white-collar workers.
The other is advance payment. In order to take care of the special situation of some players, the NBA allows the team to advance up to 80% of the player's salary before October 1.
Anthony has done a big vote in history.
At that time, he signed a 5-year, 124 million contract with the Knicks.
The Knicks were deeply afraid that Anthony's departure would leave them empty-handed, so they agreed to Anthony's request for a one-time advance of 62 million US dollars.
62 million, which was more than a team's salary for a whole year at that time...
Lin Ying also asked for an advance payment with Walkendian because his current financial situation is not optimistic.
It's a very reasonable request and I don't want my players to be unable to pay the rent.
Walkendin was still thinking, and Carl was already speaking for Lin Ying.
The head coach has spoken, and it's not a big deal, so Walkendin will naturally not refuse again.
Lin Ying cast a grateful look at her head coach.
This is different from the previous Anthony. As a teammate, Anthony has something to ask for.
But Karl is the head coach, so it's definitely a good thing to treat yourself well!
After signing the contract, Lin Ying did not forget to take a photo to show off to Durant.
Although there is a difference in the contract amount between the two, I got the money earlier than you!
At this moment, Walken Dean asked Lin Ying about his jersey number by the way.
Is there anyone wearing number 1?
Lin Ying didn't think too much about it.
Anyway, he has no special hobbies in this area, and he can wear whatever size he wears.
If you can, of course it's the same as at the University of Texas.
One is that he is used to wearing it, and the other is that his No. 1 jersey is very popular in Texas.
I'll have to ask JR Smith for his opinion. He's wearing No. 1, but don't get your hopes up.
After Walken Dean said this, Lin Ying remembered.
JR Smith is indeed No. 1 in the Nuggets.
It's just that this guy changes his jersey number a lot, and if he doesn't pay attention, he will indeed forget it.
But it is really difficult.
Generally speaking, such things as giving jersey numbers are basically role players giving up to superstars, either voluntarily, forced or bought with money.
It is true that JR Smith is a role player, but he is just a rookie now, and Smith has no reason to give up his number to a rookie.
How about you trade Smith now?
Just kidding, kidding, he's not the chosen one.
However, according to Walken Dean, it doesn't mean that he has to make a decision now, and he can wait for Smith to reply.
After talking about the contract, Lin Ying asked another very detailed matter.
Can I use the training gym at the Pepsi Center now?
Walken Dean and Karl who asked this question were stunned for a moment, and then both of them laughed in unison.
It's the first time they've heard a rookie ask that at signing time.
Lin Ying didn't understand, isn't this a very important matter?
This is related to his training!
Of course, you are now a member of the Nuggets.
Carl gave him a very positive reply.
That's good.
Lin Ying was happier when she heard this than when she signed the contract just now.
The training hall is his current girlfriend!
After completing the signing, the Nuggets also posted a picture of Lin Ying's signing on social media for the first time, with the accompanying text:
Welcome to Nuggets Nation!
Then it was accompanied by the brutal scene of Lin Ying buckling Auden.
It's not the draft at this time, and it would be a waste for the Nuggets not to release this picture.
This also attracted a wave of ecstasy from Nuggets fans.
The MOP of the semi-finals, the hardest player in 2007, who else!
Dunk Hibbert, dunk Oden, beat Noah to vomit blood, and win the NCAA finals. This will definitely be one of the most successful drafts in our history!
Lin is perfect for us, his passing fits perfectly with the team's tactics, and he will also inject the defense we need most!
I even think Lin should be the top five rookies this year! This is definitely a gratifying signing!
...
It can be seen that the Nuggets fans are not stingy in boasting about their players!
Lin Ying wanted to make out with her girlfriend, but unfortunately he didn't have this opportunity for now.
Because the next day, the Nuggets arranged for him to rush to Las Vegas to participate in training and prepare for the summer league starting on the 7th.
And his summer league wasn't like everyone else's.
This difference is reflected in the fact that he is not playing for the Nuggets, but with the Chinese men's basketball team.
This was mentioned by the men's basketball team, and the Nuggets agreed.
On the men's basketball side, it fits the characteristics of Jonas.
He arranged for the national team to play this summer league not to win, but to inspect new players.
To give the most concrete example, Chen Jianghua was selected into the national team by Jonas at the age of 17, and was also included in the 12-man squad for the Beijing Olympics at the age of 19.
In any previous national men's basketball team, this was impossible.
And what Yunus did was not targeting Lin Ying personally.
Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue were recruited in the same way, and they are also rookies this year.
Lin Ying's situation is a bit special, because he has already signed with the Nuggets, in other words, he is already a member of the Nuggets.
So he depends on what the Nuggets mean.
The Nuggets readily agreed.
In fact, the NBA team knows exactly what the summer league looks like. It is a place where a group of temporary workers collect data to fight for contracts.
That kind of local coaches have limited restraint. If you don't let people take action, you will steal their jobs. People must be anxious with you.
Therefore, many teams are unwilling to send rookies with high picks, or they are called back after two games.
But the national team is different. It is about tactics and execution, which can play a real training value.
Of course, the more important thing is that this time it is in the same summer league, so why not do it.
As a result, Lin Ying started her journey to the national team earlier than expected.
In the first game, the opponent was the Grizzlies.
Then, Lin Ying started the first game, starting small forward directly.
Wang Zhizhi, Yi Jianlian, Lin Ying, Wang Shipeng, Liu Wei.
Good guy, two rookies, but also a three-high lineup, this is Jonas.
Lin Ying had a very heavy task in the first game, marking the opposite second-year Rudy Gay.
Gay is known as McGrady. He had 10.8 points and 4.5 rebounds in his rookie season, but he only played for about half a season due to injuries.
This summer league, he just came here to find the feeling of the game.
This was also quite a challenge for Lin Ying.
At the beginning of the game, he also suffered from Guy's speed and was passed twice by one step.
The speed of that first step is indeed a bit of McGrady's charm.
Fortunately, he is characterized by a fast learning speed.
He quickly discovered Gay's technical weakness during this period: he was particularly dependent on breakthroughs, and he didn't know if it was because of the summer league, but he also liked singles very much.
He went directly to the body to fight and didn't give him room to break through, forcing him to shoot.
Then Guy didn't like confrontation, and this made him very uncomfortable.
And Lin Ying also showed the difference from the NCAA period. He took the initiative to communicate with Yi Jianlian on the defensive end.
So even if Gay did pass him, Yi Jianlian's help defense would come up immediately.
These two tricks greatly restricted Guy's performance, after all, he is only a sophomore now.
After Gay's performance was limited, the Grizzlies played relatively passively.
After the first quarter, the Chinese team led 19 to 16!
Although there is only a 3-point lead, it has greatly improved the morale of the Chinese team.
Because this is actually not the first time the men's basketball team has played in the summer league. From 1996 to 1998, the men's basketball team participated in three consecutive sessions (the name was different at that time).
The most classic game was when Hu Weidong and then rookie Kobe scored 30 points in a single game.
It's just that he hasn't won a game yet.
Therefore, the lead in this quarter has greatly improved the confidence of the Chinese men's basketball players.
However, like the Dream Team, the difficulty of opponents in the summer league lies in the strength of the rotation, and the Chinese team's substitute is obviously almost meaningless.
The Grizzlies quickly tied and overtook the score in the second quarter.
Then Yunus deeply implemented the idea of young people should fight more, and replaced Lin Ying and Sun Yue early on.
Then, the two played a suffocating linkage defense.
There are specialties in the art industry, and the offensive methods of these two people may not be interesting, but their defensive strength is obviously stronger than that of the opponents.
Moreover, Lin Ying has a long wingspan, and Sun Yue is tall as a defender and has a good defensive sense.
The two, one inside and one outside, complement each other, and both have great defensive coverage.
After a wave of consecutive offensive and defensive transitions, they not only overtook the score, but also opened the point difference to 9 points!
This directly made Yunus happy.
The Chinese men's basketball team has a successor!
After halftime, the Chinese team led the Grizzlies by 8 points 43 to 35.
Not to mention the Chinese team, the Chinese fans who came to support China were excited.
This is to make history and take the first kill!
In the third quarter, Yunus continued his bold investigation, let Sun Yue defend with peace of mind, and then let Lin Ying organize the offense.
It turned out that the effect was quite good, Lin Ying even passed a crotch wearing!
What Nash said during the trial training, he firmly remembered it in his heart!
Under his leadership, the players of the men's basketball team became more and more excited, and the score became bigger and bigger.
Basketball games are sometimes like this. What is meant by momentum like a rainbow, unstoppable, probably this is the case.
At the end of the third quarter, the men's basketball team has extended its lead to 15 points!
Then, the famous scene came.
In the opening stage of the fourth quarter, in order not to become a historical background board, the movements of the Grizzlies players began to become larger, and there were more small movements.
Soon, conflicts broke out on the field.
It was originally just a small entanglement, but the attitude of the opponent's defender was extremely arrogant and insulting.
Then...Zhu Fangyu beat him up straight away!
The puncher is called a big open and close, vigorous and vigorous, with a bow left and right, a master style!
Moreover, the summer league is a temporary team, how can everyone draw their swords and help each other when they meet by chance?
Ever since, the defender was beaten by Zhu Fangyu and ran all over the field...
Lin Ying was stunned on the bench.
Guys, is this really a fight with a ball?
What's more interesting is that the referee didn't dare to go up to pull Zhu Fangyu down. Finally, he called Yunus. Yunus called Yi Jianlian and Wang Shipeng, two Guangdong teammates, to pull Zhu Fangyu down.
Zhu Fangyu took a flagrant foul at the end, but it was not a loss, because the players on the opposite Grizzlies seemed a little frightened.
Normally, they would only push a few times at most, and it was the summer league again, and they saw that it was a yellow race who wanted to bully them.
Who would have thought that Zhu Fangyu would be so ruthless, but in the end she became honest all of a sudden!
And the head coach of the Grizzlies didn't dare to send Gay to the field.
It's very true, no one will pay for this precious player's damage.
Ever since the game was over, the Chinese men's basketball team beat the Grizzlies 81 to 63, winning the first summer league victory in history.
This victory came... a bit strange.
Because it is won by fighting, and it is also won by fighting.
After the game ended, as soon as a certain wave of news reported, domestic fans got excited first.
Exciting and exciting, Mr. Zhu is worthy of being a famous general in Guangxi, nicknamed Liuzhou Little Boxing Champion!
These niggers should beat them up more, they think we Chinese are easy to bully!
I read in the news that Mr. Zhu was chasing people all over the field, and this one is not enough for him to fight. Why don't you say: I want to fight ten?
It's a pity that I didn't copy the bench...
...
This fan is a dragon boxer.
ps: Thanks to Qiankundouzhuantiandichang for the rewards!
Thanks for being so boring and have no books to read~
