Chapter 166 Duncan gave everything(1/2)
After filming the commercial, Lin Ying took Durant to climb the Great Wall.
"If you don't visit the Great Wall, you are not a true man." This is the reason why many foreigners visit the Great Wall.
As one of the most representative buildings of Chinese civilization and the "Eighth Wonder of the World", the Great Wall is like a witness to history.
The Great Wall is very long and numerous. They went to the representative Badaling Great Wall.
There is a section called Haohan Slope, which is very steep.
Of course, for Lin Ying and Durant, two training freaks, you can just build a ladder to the Himalayas, and they can climb it for you.
Just, a little thirsty.
Durant walked to the front and went directly to buy water.
The water on the Great Wall is definitely not cheap, but the next scene is very funny.
The following is the process of Durant buying water:
"How many bottles?"
"20."
"Two bottles, I'll give you 100."
"50 for you."
…
Selling water at the Great Wall, I meet so many foreigners every day, and I can speak a little English.
Even if you don't know how, you can just draw it with your finger.
"Kevin, when did you learn addition and subtraction?"
"What's wrong?"
"Didn't you notice that she gave you 10 yuan less?"
"Isn't that a tip?"
"..."
Sure enough, the thinking is different.
But how can you tip 10 yuan when you buy something that costs 40 yuan!
It seems that auntie should do this all the time.
After all, there will always be other "Durants".
The two of them found a shady place to sit down.
Although we came early in the morning, the weather was still very hot.
And they didn't sit there for a while before someone spotted them and came over to ask for their autographs.
There is no way, Lin Ying's popularity in China has really exploded after the Olympic Games.
"Ying, to be honest, I'm really considering joining China."
Durant looked at the enthusiastic fans and sighed again.
"Then you have to do it early. China's 'green card' is the most difficult to obtain in the world."
"But of course it can't be now. I have thought about it. If those guys in London still don't let me go, I will definitely join China!"
Lin Ying smiled and nodded after hearing this.
This is almost as if he didn’t say it.
Beijing is because the Dream Team is aiming for revenge and does not want to bring young players. Four years later in London, Durant has basically become a star.
As long as he wants to, the American Basketball Association may not want him?
At this time, a gust of mountain wind happened to blow by, drying the sweat on their foreheads, and looking at the stretching Great Wall, it felt very refreshing.
Even a little heroic.
"I'm going to make the playoffs next season, and I'm ready!"
No, Durant got emotional.
"I trust you."
Lin Ying nodded.
Although historically the Thunder will not make the playoffs next season, Durant is much stronger now.
"Shadow, what is your goal for next season?"
Durant was very confident and turned to look at Lin Ying.
"Championship."
Lin Ying was also moved by the scene, full of pride.
He failed last season, but with targeted reinforcements this season, it’s time to realize his dream of a championship!
Durant: Let’s talk about my joining the Chinese team.
…
After the trip to the Great Wall, Lin Ying returned to the United States with Durant and his teacher Tony.
They flew to Houston, and when they arrived, the three of them separated. Durant went to Austin, and Teacher Tony returned to Denver.
As for Lin Ying, he transferred directly to San Antonio!
His Duncan has been waiting for him for a long time!
But this time he was not alone.
Su Feng, the assistant that Duffy arranged for him before, he also brought along this time.
Although this guy is a bit unreliable, arranging food, clothing, housing and transportation can save a lot of trouble.
Arriving at a training facility in San Antonio, Lin Ying finally met Duncan.
Seeing him, Duncan smiled and opened his hands to welcome him.
Actually, Duncan really loves to laugh.
It's just "bald" Crawford's damn T that sealed his smile on the court.
"Congratulations, I heard you helped your country win an Olympic medal."
And Duncan is also paying attention to the Olympics!
But this is not surprising, after all, he was one of the members of Meng Liu who lost the Olympic championship last time.
This time Mengba goes for revenge, he will definitely pay attention to it.
The two briefly talked about old times for a while, and then started to get into the main topic.
During this trip to the Olympics, Lin Ying's singles experience has greatly improved and she is eager to try.
I just fought against Duncan and found that it was nothing.
It shouldn't be shaken away, but it still can't be shaken away, and it should be guarded, but it still can't be guarded.
But after the fight was over, Duncan praised him.
"If I were playing the whole game, I might not be able to take advantage."
And this rating is not low.
Duncan's words are not meant as compliments. Although they are all playing basketball, there is still a big difference between the whole game and one-on-one.
When it comes to one-on-one, Nick Young and Crawford are all kings, but they are average when it comes to playing the whole game.
Vice versa.
Then, the Shifo Classroom begins.
It can be said that Duncan taught Lin Ying everything he could.
And don't be surprised, after all these years, he has rarely seen an insider that pleases his eyes.
At the beginning, Duncan and Lin Ying emphasized the importance of flexibility and coordination in the sport of basketball.
According to his understanding, height, wingspan, strength and athletic ability determine the lower limit of a player, but these two determine the upper limit of a player.
He also used himself and Kobe as examples.
His coordination and Kobe's flexibility were all used to their limit.
"It can be trained."
You may not believe it, but most talents can be trained and improved.
The most typical example is Westbrook.
His approach jump before entering the NBA was 88.9 centimeters, but he later improved it to 114.3 centimeters through scientific training.
Although it is impossible for everyone to be as good as Westbrook, improvement can definitely be achieved.
You can bounce, and naturally you can have flexibility and coordination.
Duncan also recommended to Lin Ying several sports that are most helpful in improving this ability: swimming, ballet, jujitsu, and yoga.
Needless to say, jujitsu and yoga are used by many athletes.
Duncan is experienced in swimming. He was a swimmer in his early years.
