Chapter 167 Duncan just left, Nash comes again(1/3)
The first thing Lin Ying did when she returned to Denver was to find herself a new villa with a swimming pool.
High-end villas in the United States are all located in wealthy areas, so the sense of security has improved a lot.
Time flies quickly, the NBA draft period is over, and the footsteps of the new season are quietly approaching.
The Nuggets' training camp for the new season also begins.
Although Anthony was absent for a few days like last year, and he gained a lot of weight when he came back.
But after last year's experience, Lin Ying was used to it.
After the training camp started, he also met the team's most important summer signing, Tony Allen.
Although the old buddies from the Nuggets didn't take him too seriously and even teased him about his offense during training.
But Lin Ying found that Allen didn't care.
This guy is exactly the opposite of his personality. He is a born optimist and positive.
And his excellent defense quickly won the love of his teammates.
After all, no one except Lin Ying liked to do it before. Now there is someone who likes to do it, and he doesn't want to take the initiative. How could he not like it?
Allen and Lin Ying also chatted well.
He will take the initiative to exchange some defensive tips with Lin Ying.
Some things Lin Ying knows better, others he has more experience with.
All in all, the exchange between the two was very pleasant because they found that both of them could make progress.
Of course, there is another point, Allen will also practice more.
Although he doesn't come as frequently as Lin Ying, he is indeed the only one besides Lin Ying.
Because Lin Ying was training hard to control the ball, and now he had an extra defensive gate to train with him, his progress was obviously accelerated.
As a result, although the training camp did not last long, the relationship between the two quickly heated up.
On the other hand, Livingston, another new aid that Lin Ying pays close attention to, is relatively taciturn.
And maybe because he didn't have much confidence in his injured legs, he didn't dare to make big movements during training.
Halfway through the training camp, the Nuggets received news that they would participate in this year's NBA China Game.
Stern, the team participating in the Chinese competition this time, started discussing it very early and has already decided on a wave before.
However, because the Bucks traded Yi Jianlian to the Nets, there were changes in the middle.
The four teams now confirmed are: Nets, Cavaliers, Nuggets and Suns.
The four teams will be divided into two groups to compete, one is the Nets and the Cavaliers, and the other is the Nuggets and Suns.
Yi Jianlian joins the Nets, "Emperor Yi" challenges the "Little Emperor", and Carter helps out, there is a lot to watch.
As for the Nuggets and Suns, they are even more interesting.
Both teams are offensive teams, and when they fight, they are going at each other, and the audience will definitely enjoy the scene.
Moreover, Zhu Fangyu joined the Suns after the Olympics, and this wave is also the Chinese Derby.
The locations of the matches between the two groups have also changed. One is in Guangzhou and the other is in Beijing. The two sides will play one game at their respective venues first, and then change venues and play again.
Now the domestic fans are lively again.
The delisting from the Olympic Games has brought the attention of domestic basketball to a new peak, and the attention brought by this China Games is also unprecedentedly high.
Still the same as the previous arrangements for the Christmas war, Stern's strategy of advanced arrangements and flexible changes is very practical.
Before heading to China, the Nuggets had two consecutive waves of operations.
One is the signing of veteran Juwan Howard.
Uncle Huo is getting older and had few opportunities to play with the Mavericks last season, but it is still very good to sign him to increase the team's interior experience and depth.
The second is to lay off Livingston and use the remaining full mid-level salary, about 2.5 million, to sign a one-year contract with Matt Barnes.
This is the cruelty of the NBA. Livingston didn't even have the chance to play a preseason game on behalf of the Nuggets!
What Barnes said is even worse. He has played well in the past two years, but due to personality issues he has not been able to secure a stable contract.
This year's market for him is a minimum-salary contract, and the Nuggets offered him a slightly more generous offer.
This wave of recruitment is also a gold mine.
Not to mention Barnes' other abilities, he has a gangster temperament.
Before the team set off, Lin Ying also called Yang Shuyu.
As mentioned before, Yang Shuyu entered the University of Denver and has been in school for some time.
But because Lin Ying has been training, he hasn't had time to meet her yet.
Taking her with me in this China game will help her adapt to the NBA game rhythm in advance.
After all, if he can keep up with him in the following games, it would be best for his physical therapist to keep up with him.
He agreed with Yang Shuyu in advance on the time, and asked Su Feng to drive to pick him up the day before departure.
When they arrived at the door, he went down to pick them up.
Then, when he saw the people getting out of the car, his first reaction was: No, Su Feng is cheating again?
He was asked to pick up Yang Shuyu, but why did he pick up a girl with long hair?
But I didn't realize it until I got closer.
Damn it?
This looks so familiar, is this Yang Shuyu?
that is……
Lin Ying came close to Yang Shuyu and looked at it for a long time.
The difference between long hair and short hair is so big!
When he had short hair, he looked like a handsome boy, but after having long hair, he immediately turned into a beautiful girl with bright eyes, white teeth, and lotus hair?
Can you switch modes freely?
"Why did you suddenly grow your hair long?"
Lin Ying withdrew his gaze and couldn't help but be curious.
"...I'm just too busy right now to cut it."
Yang Shuyu said with a smile.
She wouldn't say it was because of Durant's strange look before.
Well, it looks good when you smile.
"Don't cut it, just leave it like this."
Lin Ying settled down immediately.
Little girls should grow their hair long and be a beautiful girl. Your mother will no longer have to worry about you not being able to get married.
…
After picking up Yang Shuyu, Lin Ying took her back to China with the Nuggets.
"By the way, do you want to try cryotherapy?"
On the plane back home, Yang Shuyu suddenly mentioned something to Lin Ying.
"Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"
Lin Ying looked confused. The reason why he said it again was because they had talked about it when they first met.
"There is a friend of my father who does this. He originally wanted to cooperate with my grandpa, but my grandpa didn't like it."
"Professional?"
Lin Ying became interested.
Historically, this thing didn't become popular in the NBA until around 2011, but that doesn't mean it didn't come out until 2011.
In fact, it has been around since 2000, but the technology is not yet that mature.
Even in the NBA, people like Kobe, Marion, and Hill use it occasionally, but it's just not known to others.
Some people may ask, do you still need this when you already have cupping?
Of course!
The action time of these two things is different.
Generally speaking, cupping takes a certain amount of time to take effect and lasts longer.
But cryotherapy can shorten the training cycle.
“Professional, but expensive.”
