This Forward is Not Serious

First of all, there is a basic concept. Before 1972, NBA championship rings were all issued by the league. Let alone cheapness, they were even made from the same mold for many years.

As the league develops, this will naturally be disliked by championship teams.

Therefore, since 1972, championship rings are not issued by the league, but by team owners paying for them.

Therefore, the shape, cost, and even number of this ring all vary from team to team.

For example, in history, the Warriors once issued a championship ring with a single ring costing more than 1 million after winning the championship.

The Cavaliers issued more than a thousand rings at one time. Although most of them cost only more than a thousand dollars, they also cost several million.

The Suns' operations this year are more like the Cavaliers'.

For example, Barkley has a customized ring, and the team's management and coaching staff also have one.

Of course, the cost is relatively cheap.

Savor is a "thrifty and thrifty" man.

However, players' rings are different, especially players who have played in the finals will receive exclusive rings engraved with their names.

Then there are two special cases, one is Barkley mentioned before, and the other is Butler, who did not play but gave the team a huge encouragement.

So the award ceremony process was very joyful.

When Lin Ying got his championship ring, he saw his name engraved on the side of the ring. It was a wonderful feeling.

A unique feeling.

After the ring awarding ceremony, there is a "flag-raising ceremony" for the championship.

This will be the most glorious moment in the history of the Suns.

It is said to be raising the flag, but in fact it should be called unveiling the flag.

When the flag representing the 2009~2010 NBA championship was unveiled over the arena, the American Airlines Center was completely boiling.

From now on, the Suns are also a championship team!

"puff!"

Anthony felt like he was vomiting three liters of blood.

It's so uncomfortable.

Why is he here?

Damn Stern! Damn the alliance!

Also, damn LeBron!

Finally, when he felt like he was suffocating, the award ceremony was finally over!

The game entered the pre-match warm-up, and it was at this time that he found the team's new head coach Rick Barnes chatting with Lin Ying in the center circle.

Damn, I almost forgot, this guy is Lin Ying’s university mentor!

shit!

He really doesn't want to stay with the Nuggets for a moment!

Lin Ying was very happy.

Seeing my coach again on the NBA court is like going back to the original NCAA days in an instant.

Barnes is also very excited. His favorite disciple is now the MVP, and he feels a sense of accomplishment.

The two chatted very intimately at midfield.

At this time, a BGM sounded, I shouldn't be in the car, I should be under the car...

The warm-up was over, followed by the opening ceremony, and the starting lineups of the two teams were announced one after another.

Nuggets: Billups, Afflalo, Anthony, Jamison, Nene.

Suns: Nash, Allen, Lin Ying, Frye, Stoudemire.

When he saw the Suns starting the game, Anthony's expression was stunned for a moment.

Although the Suns were actually trying out this lineup in the preseason, what is the preseason to him?

The Nuggets have never played against the Suns in the preseason, so how could he pay attention to such a thing.

Lin Ying plays small forward!

He instantly felt like he was having sex again!

The public execution given to him by Stern made him extremely depressed, and now he finally found an outlet!

Last season when playing against the Suns, he was always defended by Lin Ying, which was quite unpleasant.

Now if we face each other directly, we won’t have that kind of trouble.

With his offensive ability, he can fight every minute! burst! Forest! film!

Yes, that's it.

Both sides started the game, with Nene and Stoudemire preparing for a jump ball in the center circle.

Lin Ying and Anthony were already facing each other at this time.

Jamison on the Nuggets side was proven unable to guard Lin Ying last season, and Afflalo's size couldn't match Lin Ying's. The same was true on the Suns' side, so the two faced off directly.

Lin Ying felt a killing intent from Anthony's eyes.

Yes, it's that feeling of killing you.

"beep!"

There was a whistle on the sidelines, and Nene jumped up first and moved the ball back to the Nuggets half.

The game officially begins!

When Anthony reached the frontcourt, he leaned against Lin Ying to ask for the ball, and all parts of his body showed his desire to attack.

Billups fed the ball in after signaling to pull away.

After Anthony catches the ball, he changes from back to face.

His golf IQ is certainly not low. His speed is an advantage against Lin Ying, and his effect on facing the frame is definitely better than behind the frame.

A three-threat sweep, a one-step break with the ball and then a pull-up jump shot.

Melon classic singles.

But the moment he took action, his heart skipped a beat.

Lin Ying chased the hat sideways and came over!

Why is this guy's speed so much faster than last season? !

He adjusted his limit in the air and managed to avoid the block, but he was not Kobe, and his bounce was not enough to support such a complex technical move.

As a result, the ball was forced to take a shot after avoiding the block, and it was... three non-sticks!

"Textbook defense!"

In the commentary box, Barkley, who couldn't bear to take off the ring on his finger, spoke freely.

Stoudemire picked up the rebound, and the Suns quickly started a fast break.

Lin Ying followed up from the wing, received Nash's pass and adjusted his three-point shot.

"Uh-huh!"

The knife falls from the hand!

The opening feels good!

According to Grover's plan, Lin Ying will learn small forward skills next season. This season, he will focus on improving his basic abilities.

So he actually already has a plan in mind on how to play this season.

Rely on defense to drive offense.

You must know that the Suns have a lot of fast breaks, and they have a classic V shape.

Switching to a small forward will be of great benefit in this aspect, because the power forward is more of a rebounder and first passer, but the small forward is part of the V-shape and will participate in the fast break immediately.

Of course, if he enters the position, he can still do the things he did before.

After all, Frye is an inside line in space and will basically not go to the basket. His misplaced singles tactics and even direct singles can lead to effective scoring.

This is also the biggest difference between him and James.

James doesn't play from behind, but he is good at playing from behind.

Anthony continues to ask for the ball in the frontcourt!

He was careless just now, he didn't expect Lin Ying to be so much faster.

Now he knows that he will not make the same mistake twice!

This time he used more skills. After breaking through, he turned around and used the pursuing Lin Ying as a wooden stake.

Here comes the iconic washing machine drum!

This is a cool move.

But the moment he turned around and took action, that damn Lin Ying came again!

And this time he had no chance to dodge.

"boom!"

Amid the exclamations of the fans at the scene, Lin Ying came from behind and jumped up with his big hand to slap Anthony's shot out of the court!

What is comprehensive improvement!

In the past, Lin Ying relied more on his static talents for defense, but after receiving various intensive training from Grover, his dynamic talents have also been improved.

The scene burst into cheers.

They feel that Lin Ying's defensive strength has improved to another level compared to last season!

Anthony was a little confused.

The ball just now was blocked!

This made him a little unbelievable.

You must know that it was said before that he could not beat Lin Ying, but that was at the team level.

After all, the two players are in different positions and are not facing each other directly on the court.

But now, he was guarded twice by Lin Ying!

"Mello, it's still our ball."

At this moment, Billups came over and brought Anthony back to reality in a daze.

And he followed the sideline ball tactics and asked Anthony to run a ball-free screen shot.

Billups was still calm, and Anthony's catch and shot from the pick-and-roll hit.

After scoring the goal, Anthony took a long breath and recovered from the confused state just now.

He is an offensive kaleidoscope, how could he be restrained by Lin Ying so easily!

The Suns played a wave of positions, and Stoudemire cut in and caught the ball, then turned and shot wide.

This past offseason, he adjusted his playing style and practiced a lot of inside skills, but mastering these does not happen overnight.

Looking back, Anthony continues to hold the ball.

This time he called the pick and roll!

Take it apart and take action directly.

"Uh-huh!"

The knife falls from the hand!

Anthony scored 4 points in a row!

The Nuggets take the lead!

After scoring the goal, Anthony tapped his head with three fingers, and the murderous look in his eyes returned to the beginning.

He built a highway and will announce his comeback in Phoenix today!

Wherever he fell, he had to get up!

Stoudemire still didn't make a mid-range shot after catching the ball.

Jamison protected the defensive rebound, Billups advanced to the frontcourt, and Anthony then called for a pick-and-roll.

Just win the game in one go!

But this time, he found that Jamison couldn't stop Lin Ying!

Lin Ying can always get through Jamison's pick-and-roll.

This is a very strange scene, but if you look closely, you will find that Lin Ying has been using broken steps and sliding steps to adjust his defensive body shape, and then always grabs the moment before the pick-and-roll is formed.

Show up, puppy steps!

In fact, Lin Ying has already used it before, but basketball skills are not about playing games, and they cannot be used once you learn them.

He needs the game to find, adapt, and find his rhythm.

Jamison couldn't stop it, so Anthony could only play singles with the ball again.

This time he chose to turn around and break through.

Lin Ying's defensive judgment went wrong this time, and Anthony rushed to the basket. He directly chose to foul early.

After all, humans are not machines, and they always make mistakes.

But what happened next was something no one expected.

Maybe it was because he finally got past Lin Ying but was fouled and didn't make a free throw. Anthony looked very angry.

But he didn't dare to trouble Lin Ying. After all, Lin Ying KO'd Bowen right next to him.

But I’m very angry, what should I do?

Don't hold your anger in forever, as holding it in can easily lead to internal injuries!

So an angry Anthony took the ball and ran straight through the crowd for a spin dunk!

Yes, take it out on the basket!

However, it may be that he was not fully prepared, or he was too angry. The rhythm of the ball was not well controlled, and the take-off height did not seem to be high enough.

Ever since, the ball that was supposed to hit the basket hit it directly.

The huge force crushed the basketball by a centimeter or two.

Then came a huge rebound force. Anthony in the air couldn't stop such force at all, and his body immediately lost balance.

With his excellent reaction speed, he managed to stand still before landing, but the huge inertia made him take a few steps back, and then he fell to the floor.

The scene was quiet for a while, and the players from both teams looked at Anthony with caring eyes.

Ah, what a large social death scene!

It's a good thing that O'Neal hasn't retired yet, otherwise he would have been firmly locked in the top of "Shaq's Five Worst Things" this season, unshakable.

Anthony got up from the ground with a dark face, so embarrassed that he could dig out three rooms and one living room with his feet.

There seems to be one more reason to leave the Nuggets!

Barnes on the sidelines frowned unconsciously.

He suddenly realized that something was wrong with his star player.

Because he previously coached at the University of Texas, he naturally didn't have time to read NBA news.

So he didn't know much about the story between Lin Ying and Anthony.

Then he did something, he replaced Anthony!

Anthony looked back when he heard the whistle, and looked in disbelief when he was sure it was him.

What does Barnes mean? !

In the past, Karl had to accommodate him, but you, the new guy, are just going to replace him?

So when he got off the court, he looked at Barnes with a puzzled face, but got no response from Barnes.

When he got to the bench and sat down, he got so angry that he hit the bench with a hammer.

This action shocked the substitutes off the court and made Anthony angry!

But Barnes didn't even look back...

At this time, the NBA rarely looked for famous NCAA coaches to be head coaches.

There are many reasons, one of which is that it is not adaptable.

NCAA coaches have absolute authority in universities, but NBA coaches are more like nannies.

Not everyone can achieve this kind of role change, and even if it can be achieved, it will take time to transition.

So don’t the Nuggets know this?

Certainly not.

Even a little intentional.

James' "Decision 1" is like the NBA version of "I Have a Dream," allowing players, especially the super giants, to demand a greater say.

So after Anthony asked the Nuggets to get rid of him at the beginning of the season, and preferably trade him to the Knicks, Kroenke was immediately angry.

He now regretted his decision to keep Anthony and send Lin Ying away.

But what can be done? There is no regret medicine in this world!

But he was not willing to send Anthony away just like that.

Because the value of Anthony's transaction has plummeted, sending him away at this time will definitely result in a loss of blood.

In contrast, just like when dealing with Lin Ying Anthony's conflict, it would be a more correct choice to suppress Anthony's arrogance and let him stay.

No, that's where Barnes' role lies.

Despite the fact that Barnes was very kind to Lin Ying, he was actually known for being harsh at the University of Texas.

Abrams was scolded so much that even Durant was said to be autistic.

Coupled with the fact that he is an NCAA championship coach, this kind of coach couldn't be more suitable.

It’s just that Anthony is uncomfortable!

If you want to leave, you can't; if you are forced to stay, you will be suppressed!

Ben Simmons: Senior!
