…

At halftime, the Nuggets led the Bucks by 15 points, 58-43.

The difference in strength between the two teams can be seen from the score.

But fans, especially domestic fans, enjoyed watching it.

Because in halftime, Yi Jianlian made 12 of 12 shots and scored 25 points!

Using the math taught by the physical education teacher to simply convert it, this is a rhythm of 50+ for the whole audience!

And if the game ends at this moment, then Yi Jianlian will be on the all-conference rankings, tied for second place in history with Yao Ming and Karl Malone! Second only to Chamberlain's 18 all-around shots set in ancient times!

However, fans will not remember him alone, because for the Nuggets, Lin Ying also scored 19 points in the half!

Especially in the second quarter, he scored 16 points and played like an All-Star player.

If they continue playing at this pace, not to mention more, both of them will have a chance to get their first 30+ points in their careers!

Coming back in the second half, Yi Jianlian was the first to get a chance, one was an open two-pointer, and the other was a mid-range shot, but it was a pity that he failed to seize both opportunities.

You can clearly feel that after halftime, his hands have cooled down.

Feeling cold due to rest is common in the NBA. The most famous one in history is Raptors head coach Nick Nurse's "death timeout".

It was the decisive moment in the fourth quarter of G5 of the 2019 Finals. Kawhi Leonard scored 10 points in a row, leading the team to a 12-2 climax and overtaking the Warriors by 6 points. Victory was in sight.

At this time, Nurse called a timeout and asked the players to "rest". As a result, Leonard lost his touch and was directly reversed by the Warriors.

A timeout may be like this, but a halftime break is even more common.

Then after missing two consecutive shots, Yi Jianlian basically couldn't touch the ball.

This may also be a microcosm of Yi Jianlian's Bucks career.

Because it was a blind box selection, the Bucks wanted to train Yi Jianlian and invested manpower and material resources, but they did not make a good plan.

The result is that the team gave him playing time but not the corresponding tactical status.

So the situation becomes that if Yi Jianlian has a good touch, he will shoot two more shots, but if he has a bad touch, he will not be able to touch the ball.

This is fine for role players, but it's cruel for high-draft rookies.

When it comes to training, the Sonics have to face Durant.

Looking at Lin Ying again, although he seized the opportunity with his own efforts, the Nuggets actually gave him a chance.

Karl had personally gone to the Asian Championships to observe Lin Ying and determined to give him a tactical position in the double-gunners.

So it’s still what I said before: a suitable team is far more important than a few picks higher.

After three quarters, the Nuggets have opened the point difference to more than 25 points.

The outcome has been decided.

It's a pity for Yi Jianlian, his final data was fixed at 29 points and 10 rebounds.

Sure enough, it is a historical halo bonus, but it is just as regrettable as in history, with a difference of 1 point and 30 plus 10.

As for Lin Ying, he scored 27 points in the third quarter, and his teammates still created many opportunities for him.

But the most interesting thing is Carl.

He didn't let Lin Ying rest, and threw him up again during garbage time in the fourth quarter!

This is asking him to go up and get 30+!

Regarding this choice, fans' opinions will definitely be polarized.

Some people think it is shameful and meaningless to earn points during garbage time;

Some people also think that there are people who brush triple-double, and maybe they brush it every time. What’s wrong with brushing points during garbage time?

Lin Ying did not resist.

Not to mention that Kobe scored 62 points in the third quarter and did not play in garbage time. He is still several ranks behind Kobe.

If a rookie head coach gives him a chance, it means he is giving him a chance.

Of course, Lin Ying didn't deliberately improve his points. He basically played how he always played, and how he played during garbage time.

At the end of the game, his score was fixed at 33 points.

In a big victory over the Bucks, Lin Ying also scored 30+. For the Nuggets, tonight's game was called "perfect."

For domestic fans, although it is a bit regretful, they are basically happy to see it.

Of course, there is no need to say more about Lin Ying, as for Yi Jianlian.

Well, the Bucks lost, but the UAE did not lose.

In the handshake ceremony after the game, Lin Ying and Yi Jianlian hugged each other while shaking hands.

"I'll increase the confrontation."

After the hug, Yi Jianlian said something to Lin Ying.

This statement still surprised Lin Ying, but it made sense after thinking about it carefully.

If he really had no idea, Yi would not have asked him about practicing confrontation before establishing the league.

I think Yi Jianlian also struggled in history.

But what is different from history is that tonight Lin Ying played with him one-on-one in the low post and completely destroyed him, even trying to go around was useless.

That should have a big impact on him.

"come on."

Lin Ying still didn't say much.

This is Yi Jianlian's own choice, and he can't say anything else except encouragement.

But in his heart, he still hopes that Yi Jianlian can make some positive changes as a result.

After all, they are all Chinese players and will be teammates fighting side by side in Beijing next year.

…

After the game, Lin Ying and Karl attended the post-game press conference together.

After getting his first 30+ points in his career, there will be many problems waiting for him.

The reporters also praised a lot, because this 33 points is still the highest score for a rookie this year!

Durant has never scored this score yet!

Lin Ying was certainly in a happy mood, but he was still relatively humble when answering reporters.

It's not that he did this deliberately, but although he didn't object to playing in garbage time, the points were earned.

Whether it's to get points or triple-doubles, being low-key is the way to go.

When one day you are really capable of scoring so many points, then of course there will be no need to be deliberately modest.

…

Lin Ying is being modest, but back home, Guda has already blown him to the sky again.

"The best rookie is none other than "Lin"!"

It still has that familiar taste, and of course the fans are still excited to watch it.

And the fans also have their own feelings.

Back then, Yao Ming and Stoudemire competed for the Rookie of the Year award, but the final move came up short.

Now, after many years, Chinese players are competing for this, and fans are naturally looking forward to it.

Although Lin Ying's task is much more difficult, no one knows whether a miracle will happen.

What if?

…

After attending the press conference, Lin Ying returned to the locker room and received an unknown phone call.

He picked up the call with some confusion, and to his surprise, the other party turned out to be Tang Tian, ​​the old Chinese medicine doctor from Houston!

In order to facilitate contact, he left his mobile phone number before leaving.

Tang Tian asked him how the cupping effect was before.

Lin Ying was still a little surprised. For such a responsible old Chinese medicine doctor, those clinics in China should really learn from him!

"I was too busy with the competition before, and I just wanted to discuss something with you."

After cupping last time, Lin Ying felt a little sore the next day, but felt comfortable all over on the third day.

Then that week, he felt energetic.

So he already had plans to invite Tang Tian to be his physical therapist.

It's just like he said, he fell behind because he was too busy.
