Chapter 134 Duncan's summer training invitation(2/3)
A top hat from the lonely warrior!
Lin Ying got the rebound and the Nuggets launched a defensive counterattack.
After receiving the pass, Smith ran wildly, and finally knocked away the old Barry and dunked with both hands to score!
That’s a score!
32 to 26!
The Nuggets launched a 6-0 counterattack, instantly reducing the point difference to 6 points!
Popovich couldn't sit still, so he replaced Horry and replaced him with Oberto.
The tacit cooperation between Ginobili and Oberto's national team teammates allowed Oberto to catch the ball and hit the ball from mid-range.
8 points difference.
When Lin Ying got the ball in the low post again, the Spurs flanked him from the outside.
With two consecutive balls, Lin Ying also showed off his low-post intimidation.
But this is exactly what I want to do.
Because this time it was Smith who gave the ball in, Lin Ying flicked the ball out, and Smith shot a three-pointer from the outside.
"Whoa!"
You are the only Jordan!
The button in front allowed him to find the feeling, and he looked back and pulled out the knife!
Popovich couldn't sit still and replaced Duncan in advance.
The game entered a stalemate again.
…
After four quarters of fierce fighting, the Spurs finally defeated the Nuggets 110-99 and tied the score at 1-1.
Duncan scored 15 points in the first quarter and ultimately contributed a double-double of 33 points, 17 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks.
This wave directly reminds me of... two years ago.
At that time, the Stone Buddha had not yet been affected by plantar fasciitis, and he was still the stone Buddha who destroyed the world.
For the Nuggets, Iverson was in excellent form, scoring a team-high 31 points and 6 assists on 10-of-19 shooting, but Anthony had a normal touch and scored 18 points on 7-of-20 shooting.
Lin Ying performed well, once again breaking his personal playoff scoring record in a single game, contributing a double-double of 18 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blocks.
But it is a pity that this time he failed to help the Nuggets win the final victory.
After the game, the two teams held a post-game handshake ceremony.
When Lin Ying shook hands with Duncan, Duncan took the initiative to hug him.
This is all expected, but what is unexpected is...
Duncan touched his head!
Lin Ying was stunned for a moment.
He had been touched by Barnes on the head before when he was in Naa, but he didn't really feel anything at all.
But being touched by Duncan is different!
Regardless of the nonsense, Ginobili’s hairline looks a bit unstable already!
And Duncan even spoke after touching it.
"Do you have any plans for the summer?"
Fortunately, okay, it's not like last year with James saying "the future is yours".
However, Lin Ying did not expect that Duncan would suddenly say such a thing.
Why does Duncan care about him?
It is impossible for Duncan to compete in the Olympics with his current physical condition.
By the way, Duncan stumbled a bit when he stood up after the game, and he walked on his tiptoes during the handshake ceremony.
Although he strives for a victory for the Spurs, the price is not small.
"Olympic Games."
Lin Ying also told the truth, there was nothing to hide.
"Then what?"
"Then?"
Duncan nodded.
The Olympic Games only last for a dozen days, and they are over before August is even over.
"train."
Lin Ying then replied.
After he finished speaking, he saw Duncan suddenly laugh.
Lin Ying may have guessed what Duncan wanted to say.
"Are you interested in training together?"
Summer training invitation from Stone Buddha?
"have."
Lin Ying was very decisive.
Originally, he had planned to train with Durant after the Olympics.
But if Duncan invites him for summer training, then Duncan must give priority.
Don't think that he has learned Duncan's skills or anything, that's all fake, just imitating.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to slip the baseline when Horry was setting up his foot.
That kind of ball looks very smart, but it is also very risky. If you fight it, the baseline may go out of bounds.
What? What should Durant do?
It’s not like they can only play in the NBA for one year. There will be many opportunities to train together in the summer!
Although Duncan didn't expect Lin Ying to answer so simply, he quickly made a fist bump with Lin Ying and made an agreement.
Although it was a bit regretful to lose the game, Lin Ying felt that it was worth it after receiving this summer training invitation.
As for the reason why Duncan invited him, he could actually guess it.
Look at those sneakers in history, Tracy McGrady's disciples, Kobe's disciples, Durant's disciples, the super giants will always value some people and hope that they will pass on them.
His low-post skills are immature now. If Duncan is willing to treat him as his disciple, it will be like pie in the sky.
Duncan: What disciple? I just want to train with this guy who I like!
Lin Ying: I don’t care, just look at me and I’ve already thought of my child’s name!
…
The Nuggets' locker room was a little dull after the game.
Although the big score of 1-1 is actually not bad, they even got the home field advantage from the Spurs.
But it’s still a bit of a pity not to be able to score 2-0.
And besides the regrets, there are also potential worries.
As far as this game is concerned, neither side had any unconventional tactics, they just played a serious game, but the Nuggets lost.
And it's not bad in terms of performance, even Iverson's condition is surprisingly good.
In other words, they will still have to face this problem when they return to Denver.
If the Nuggets can't make targeted adjustments, it's really hard to say.
In the dull atmosphere, Lin Ying's relatively relaxed attitude stood out a bit.
"Lin, aren't you worried?"
Anderson is a bit like a curious baby.
Lin Ying shook his head.
Unlike others, although he lost tonight, he actually felt very confident about the series after this game.
"Why?"
Anderson couldn't help but ask again.
When he asked again this time, several other people in the locker room also turned their attention.
Indeed, Lin Ying's calmness after the game was a bit abnormal after he played very hard and still lost.
