He arranged for the national team to play in this summer league not to win, but to inspect new players.

To give the most practical example, Chen Jianghua was selected into the national team by Yunus at the age of 17, and he was also included in the 12-man squad for the Beijing Olympics at the age of 19.

This would have been impossible for any national men's basketball team in the past.

Moreover, what Yunus did was not directed at Lin Ying personally.

Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue were also recruited in the same way, and they are also rookies this year.

Lin Ying's situation is a little special because he has signed a contract with the Nuggets. In other words, he is already a member of the Nuggets.

So he depends on what the Nuggets want.

The Nuggets readily agreed.

In fact, we know very well what an NBA team is like in the summer league, which is a place where a group of temporary workers brush up data and win contracts.

Coaches in places like that have limited restraint, and if you don't let others take action, you are taking their jobs, and people will definitely be anxious about you.

Therefore, many teams are unwilling to send high-ranking rookies, or they may recall them after just two games.

But the national team is different. It focuses on tactics and execution, which can provide real training value.

Of course, the more important thing is that this time we are in the same summer league, so why not.

As a result, Lin Ying started his journey with the national team earlier than expected.

In the first game, the opponent was the Grizzlies.

Then, Lin Ying started the first game, directly starting at small forward.

Wang Zhizhi, Yi Jianlian, Lin Ying, Wang Shipeng, Liu Wei.

Good guy, two rookies, three top players in the lineup, this is very Yonas.

Lin Ying had a heavy task in the first game, guarding the second-year opponent Rudy Gay.

Gay, known as "Little Eddie," performed well in his rookie season, but he only played about half of the season due to injuries.

In this summer league, he just came here to get a feel for the game.

This is also a big challenge for Lin Ying.

At the beginning of the game, he also suffered some hardships due to Gay's speed and was passed twice in one move.

The speed of that first step is indeed a bit like Tracy McGrady.

Fortunately, his characteristic is that he learns quickly.

He quickly discovered Gay's technical weaknesses at this period: he was particularly dependent on breakthroughs, and he didn't know whether it was because of being in the summer league, but he also liked singles.

He directly engaged in physical confrontation and did not give him any room to break through, forcing him to shoot.

Then Guy didn't particularly like confrontation, which made him very uncomfortable.

Moreover, Lin Ying also showed a difference from the NCAA period. He actively communicated with Yi Jianlian on the defensive end.

So even if Gay really passes him, Yi Jianlian's help defense will come up immediately.

These two moves greatly restricted Guy's performance, after all, he is only a sophomore now.

After Gay's performance was limited, the Grizzlies played relatively passively.

After the first quarter, the Chinese team led 19 to 16!

Although there is only a 3-point lead, it has greatly improved the morale of the Chinese team.

Because this is actually not the first time the men's basketball team has played in a summer league. The men's basketball team participated in three consecutive summer leagues from 1996 to 1998 (it was called differently at that time).

The most classic game was when Hu Weidong and the then rookie Kobe Bryant scored 30 points each in a single game.

It’s just that I haven’t won a game yet.

Therefore, taking the lead in this quarter has greatly improved the confidence of the Chinese men's basketball players.

However, just like the Dream Team, the reason why the opponents in the Summer League are difficult to beat is due to their rotation strength. The Chinese team's substitutes are obviously not that interesting.

The Grizzlies quickly tied and took the lead in the second quarter.

Then Yunus deeply implemented the idea of ​​"young people should play more" and replaced Lin Ying and Sun Yue early on.

Then, the two played a suffocating joint defense.

Their skills are specialized, and their offensive methods may not be interesting, but their defensive capabilities are obviously stronger than those of their opponents.

Moreover, Lin Ying has a long wingspan, and Sun Yue is tall as a defender and has good defensive sense.

The two of them, one inside and one outside, complement each other and have great defensive coverage.

A wave of continuous offensive and defensive transitions, they not only took the lead, but also opened the point difference to 9 points!

This directly made Yunus happy.

The Chinese men’s basketball team has a successor!

After halftime, the Chinese team led the Grizzlies by 8 points 43 to 35.

Let alone the Chinese team, the Chinese fans who came to support China were excited.

This is to make history and get the first kill!

In the third quarter, Yunus continued to boldly investigate, allowing Sun Yue to defend with peace of mind, and then asked Lin Ying to organize the offense.

The effect turned out to be quite good, Lin Ying even had a crotch penetration!

He remembered what Nash said during the trial training firmly in his heart!

Under his leadership, the men's basketball players became more and more excited as they played, and the score got bigger and bigger.

Basketball games are like this sometimes. What does it mean to be overwhelming and unstoppable? This is probably the case.

At the end of the third quarter, the men's basketball team has extended its lead to 15 points!

Then, the famous scene came.

In the opening stage of the fourth quarter, in order not to become a historical background, the Grizzlies players began to make bigger moves and more small moves.

Soon, a conflict broke out on the field.

It was originally just a small dispute, but the opponent's defender was extremely arrogant and used insulting swear words.

Then...Zhu Fangyu beat him up directly!

That punch was like a big open and a big close, the tiger was like a tiger and the wind was blowing, and the bow was shot left and right, like a master!

Moreover, the summer leagues are all temporary teams. How can we help each other when we meet by chance?

Ever since, the defender was beaten by Zhu Fangyu and ran all over the field...

Lin Ying was stunned on the bench.

Good guy, is this really a fight with a ball?

What's even more interesting is that the referee didn't dare to pull Zhu Fangyu down, but finally called out to Yunus. Yunus called two teammates from the Guangdong team, Yi Jianlian and Wang Shipeng, to pull Zhu Fangyu down.

Zhu Fangyu got a flagrant foul in the end, but it was not a loss because the players from the opposite Grizzlies team seemed a little frightened.

Usually they only push a few times at most, but it's the summer league again, and they see a yellow guy and want to bully him.

Who would have thought that Zhu Fangyu would be so ruthless, but he would suddenly become honest!

And the head coach of the Grizzlies didn't dare send Gay on the court.

It's very true. If this precious player is broken, no one will pay for it.

So after the game, the Chinese men's basketball team defeated the Grizzlies 81-63, making history and winning the first summer league victory.

This victory comes...a little weird.

Because it is won by fighting, and it is also won by "fighting".

After the game, a certain wave of news reported it, and domestic fans got excited first.

"Exciting and exciting, Mr. Zhu is indeed a famous general in Guangxi, nicknamed Liuzhou Little Boxing Champion!"

"These niggas should beat them up more. They think we Chinese are easy to bully!"

"I saw on the news that Mr. Zhu was running around chasing people. He couldn't beat even one person. How about he said: I want to beat ten?"

"It's a pity that I didn't copy the bench..."

…

This fan is a very good boxer.
