In terms of Rockets statistics, McGrady scored a game-high 35 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists, while Yao Ming also had an outstanding performance of 23 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists.
The two scored 58 points together, but apart from them, no third person scored in double figures!
Adelman's Princeton system plays team basketball, but he doesn't seem to be able to pull this team out of its previous style of play.
After the game, the two teams held a post-game handshake ceremony.
Yao Ming hugged Lin Ying and said a lot of encouraging words.
Although Lin Ying was a bit harsh tonight and knocked down Team Rocket, he was really happy for Lin Ying.
In fact, the reason why he told Lin Ying to behave well yesterday was because he didn't want Lin Ying to be under too much pressure.
After all, Yi Jianlian's previous performance of 19 points and 9 rebounds was already surpassed.
In the end, Lin Ying was lucky and had a triple-double!
He has played in the NBA for so many years and has never had a triple-double. Lin Ying did it in the 9th game of his career!
Speaking of which, Lin Ying was drafted with the 9th overall pick, wore No. 9, and now got his first triple-double in his 9th career game.
6 turned over!
The handshake ceremony was over and the game was over, but the Denver fans at the scene seemed to have not recovered from their excitement.
And then something very outrageous happened.
There were not many Chinese fans at the scene, and I don’t know who started it. They started shouting Lin Ying’s nickname.
And the shouting was not in Chinese but in English.
Quite a magical nickname.
The Chinese name is Lin Huang, and the English name is...Ling.King!
Initially, it was only the Chinese and Chinese fans who were shouting, but soon it spread to the entire stadium.
Although Denver fans don't know that English can actually form words like this, they can more or less guess what it means.
After all, ling is Lin, and the nickname "Lin Huang" has been discussed in the United States before.
Although the translations are different, it is still easy to guess when combined.
When Lin Ying heard this, he reacted immediately. After reacting, he felt an inexplicable sense of shame.
Because if the CCTV broadcast had not stopped, the whole country would probably know about this!
CCTV... it really didn’t stop!
Because this game has attracted so much attention in China.
Take the previous Yao Yifei competition as an example.
According to official statistics, the number of viewers of that game was 250 million, of which domestic contributions were 200 million.
The statistics after this game have just come out, with 300 million viewers, including 240 million domestically!
Although this number of visitors does not represent one person, it is enough to illustrate the attention paid to the national derby during this period!
Every second, it is money!
What's more, Lin Ying got the first triple-double in NBA history for a Chinese player. It would be inappropriate not to brag about it for a while!
Then, the chorus of shouts was heard.
Su Qun was also stunned for a moment, and then laughed and joked after he realized what he was doing.
"I think this one sounds better than our King Lin. Doesn't he call James LeBron King in the United States? We have our own now."
Su Qun's words also made Zhang Weiping laugh out loud.
It tastes like that.
…
In fact, let alone Su Qun and the others, when Lin Ying followed the players back to the locker room, Smith and Martin were all making noises.
This is not a prank, but he really drove the whole team tonight, and his teammates expressed their love for him in every imaginable way.
As soon as he sat down, reporters who entered the locker room came over to catch him for interviews.
Before the interview was over, O'Connor came over to remind him that he and Iverson went to the press conference together.
Sure enough, he was still inexperienced and had no time to take a shower, so he could only go to the scene wearing his jersey.
Fortunately, the Oriental doesn't have a strong body odor, so he doesn't have to worry about smelling bad smells to others.
"Are your shoes out?"
On the way to the press conference, Iverson couldn't help but take another look at Lin Ying's shoes and asked.
"Um?"
Lin Ying wondered why Iverson asked this.
"Your signature sneakers, I want to buy a pair and try them on my feet."
Iverson is interested.
However, he signed a lifetime contract with Reebok, so he probably just wanted to try out his feet.
Lin Ying shook his head.
"When they come out, I'll have a pair in your size."
To promote your own brand, start from the side!
Iverson's circle is still very large. If he wears something really comfortable and recommends it to his friends, it will be a wave of free advertising.
Speaking of which, Anta had contacted him before to complete the acquisition and research and development had begun.
I don’t know how long it will take for its first pair of shoes to come out.
Thinking about it, it's actually a bit exciting.
If nothing else, he can show off in front of Durant again!
…
At the press conference, the audience was already filled with reporters.
Defeating the Rockets, the No. 1 team in the Western Conference, at home, Anthony clashed with his opponent and was ejected. Lin Ying scored the first triple-double of his career and the first for a rookie this year...
These are all topics.
Having a topic means that you can ask more questions. The more questions you ask, the more material you will find. The more material you will get, the more news you will get. The more news you will get, the more money you will make!
As soon as they sat down, the first concern of the reporters was Anthony's conflict.
After all, something happened to the Nuggets not long ago.
And although the alliance is at odds, the written warning it issued was very formal, including the words "next time it will not be tolerated."
The result is now good, and it will be the Nuggets who make the mistake "next time".
Karl helped Lin Ying confront reporters before, but this time he could only try his best to excuse Anthony.
After all, the nature of the two matters are different. Lin Ying was acting in self-defense, but Anthony was responsible for his own troubles.
"I don't think Melo went there for the conflict. It was an accident. Melo is already a very mature player, but accidents always happen."
Karl has the qualifications here, he is also an experienced person, and he can still speak fluently when dealing with this kind of situation.
NBA games, consciously or unconsciously, all depend on one mouth.
If it hadn't been for Bowen stepping in for Iverson, it wouldn't have been possible.
Since you can all say it was an accident, why can't I?
After caring about Anthony, the reporters then focused their questions on Lin Ying.
Iverson smiled and moved the microphone to Lin Ying.
This move was actually captured by reporters.
You must know that given Iverson's personality, he would generally not do this, which shows that the relationship between the two is extraordinary.
The reporters all asked routine questions.
How does it feel to get a triple-double? Did you ever think before the game that you would get a triple-double?
Although the event itself is worthy of celebration, for reporters, many of them have become numb to the fact that this league has produced so many triple-doubles.
Now it's like they are giving Lin Ying a question, they just need to get the answer.
Lin Ying also answered as he thought.
This is the credit of my teammates and the coach. Anyway, I have the least credit.
Although it is a routine questioning process, it is actually a good opportunity to increase the relationship between you and your coaching teammates.
After asking the routine questions, some more exciting questions followed.
The work is too mechanical. If you don't want to go crazy, you need to show off occasionally.
"In this game, Melo was sent off in the second quarter. When he was sent off, the team was trailing by 7 or 10 points? But you won the game in the end. Does this mean that there is no Melo?
Are the Nuggets a better team?"
This question is for Lin Ying.
Iverson glanced at Lin Ying and then at Karl.
Karl saw that Lin Ying didn't look at him, so he didn't say anything.
He was assured of Lin Ying's ability to deal with reporters.
"No, I don't think so. A game is just a game. Melo is one of the cores of the team and a superstar in the league. Obviously, our strength will become weaker without him."
Lin Ying answered very positively.
And there is nothing to hesitate about.
First, what he said is indeed true. The games the Nuggets won this season were all games in which Anthony performed well. As for tonight, the sample size in one game is too small.
If it is two, it is impossible for him to answer "yes". If he answers "yes", it is just making trouble.
"But without Melo, the Nuggets look more like a team team. Does this mean that Melo's isolation is hurting the team?"
This reporter is also a ruthless person and is not afraid of retaliation and losing his job, so he continued to ask.
Iverson turned to look at Karl again, but Karl still didn't say anything.
"No, teamwork and individual play are both equally important parts of the basketball game. In fact, most basketball games are one-on-one. Before we played against the Spurs, Melo also relied on this method to help the team win the game.
.”
Hearing this, Iverson laughed.
Lin Ying's logic is so strong. After answering the question, he also gives an example so that you can't refute it.
And what Lin Ying said is actually right.
Singles can be understood as individuals, and a very important task for the head coach is to balance the individual and the team.
Phil Jackson is very good at this.
…
After the press conference, Iverson and Lin Ying came out together.
"How did you manage to deal with it so calmly?"
Iverson wanted to ask for advice.
He has not been able to handle the relationship well with the media for so many years.
But Lin Ying, a rookie, seemed to respond fluently.
"My college coach taught me."
Lin Ying replied with a smile.
Rick Barnes's meeting minutes are indeed very important. Although his own life experience is also included in it, all the credit should be given to the coach.
"That must be a good coach. I think maybe one day he will coach in the NBA."
Iverson continued.
Lin Ying was stunned for a moment. He had never thought of this before, but it was not impossible.
Barnes is unknown in history, but now he is a championship coach.
And don’t think too much about NBA coaches.
When Popovich was transferred from general manager to head coach, he only knew how to give the ball to Duncan at the beginning.
As for Barnes, although his tactical ability is average, he is very strong.
Tyronn Lue: Senior!
If that's the case, it would be quite interesting for him and Durant to play against Barnes' team.
While we were chatting, Duffy called.
He said that he was with someone from Anta and asked him to talk about signed sneakers together.
…
When we arrived at the door of the apartment where we lived, Duffy and Anta's people were already waiting at the door.
The development of his shoes is progressing very quickly.
Of course, R&D is just to put it nicely.
Basically, his first shoe was made using Fila's technology, plus his own sneaker design, and finally combined.
Some people will definitely be curious, can Fila work?
Of course.
This has to start with another player.
Grant Hill.
As the first and strongest successor to Jordan, Hill's popularity can only be described as explosive.
A fact: Hill was the first player in NBA history to be elected as the NBA All-Star vote winner in his rookie season, and in the second year he beat Jordan at his peak to win the NBA All-Star vote title for the second time!
He is such a player, and he is endorsing Fila, a brand that has just entered the basketball shoe market.
It can be said that Fila's investment in Hill at that time, Anta's investment in Lin Ying, and Nike's investment in Jordan are all in the same pattern.
Hill was really popular at the time. His first pair of signature sneakers, GH1, sold 1.5 million pairs, setting a sales record for the first generation of sneakers after the AJ1.
You know, that was in 1994.
As Hill continued to make a name for himself in the NBA, Fila also continued to innovate technology, and also signed many NBA sneakers. The market share was once equal to that of Nike.
Of course, everyone knows what happened next. Hill suffered an ankle injury in 2000 and had it blocked again, becoming a glass man. Fila's popularity plummeted.
But what we can know from this history is that Fila’s technology is not bad.
Although the sales of shoes are not as good because of Hill's demise, the brand has actually always been around.
Even Hill only terminated his contract with Fila in 2004.
Even if the time is now 2007, only 3 years have passed.
And because it is Hill, some people will definitely wonder whether Hill's ankle injury is related to Fila shoe technology.
The answer is no.
Hill has endorsed Fila since 1994 and has been wearing shoes for 6 years without any problems. Injuries and shoes are not serious.
Moreover, Fila has become famous, and Hill is not the only one wearing it, but everyone else is doing well.
So this is the first pair of signature shoes designed by Fila Technology + Anta.
Don't think Anta is being lazy, this was planned and the only feasible solution.
Then, this is the reason why Duffy and the others came to Lin Ying this time.
An independent brand, signature sneakers must have a name!
There is a little story about Jordan's AJ. It is actually the abbreviation of the Italian brand Armani.Jeans.
Later, Nike bought the copyright, and because Jordan's initials happened to be J, the AJ brand was created.
In fact, later on, Armani.Jeans used pressure to control AJ's sales direction.
Of course, Anta's walking mode is different, so there is no need to worry about this.
And they were very considerate and directly provided Lin Ying with some reference plans.
That means, you see if you are satisfied with it, and if not, we will think about it again.
1, LY, simple and crude, the abbreviation of Lin Ying’s name.
2. Shadow means shadow, Lin Ying’s nickname (the reason why we don’t use assassin is because Nike football shoes have this series).
3. LinK means bond, and is homophonic with his name.
"This third one..."
Why did Lin Ying feel like something was wrong after watching it?
What did those fans call him before?
