"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?
