The Eastern Conference's Best of the Week belongs to Lin Ying!

In the past week, he led the Nets to a record of 3 wins and 1 loss, averaging 30.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 5.75 assists per game, shooting 49.6% from the field and 41.5% from three-point range.

Come on, it’s the best of the week!

On social media, fans are already having fun.

"Thank you to my good friend Sarver of the Nets" is already relatively low-level.

Someone directly posted a photo of Savor with a swollen face, and it instantly attracted countless likes.

Of course, the most outrageous thing was a user named "Lin Ying Fan" who actually posted a group photo. Lin Ying was holding the MVP trophy in one hand and embracing Swift with the other, enjoying the cheers of the fans.

This even became a trending topic on social media that day.

Jue Juezi!

Domestic fans are also very happy.

First of all, he is the best of the week, and secondly, he can directly compete for mvp!

And judging from the first week of competition, Lin Ying's technical progress is really obvious.

If Lin Ying was a small forward who played like a power forward last season, then he is already a true small forward in the new season.

But because he was a power forward before, his post-up, basket skills, and even rebounding are much better than ordinary small forwards.

If Lin Ying continues to perform like this and the Nets' record does not fluctuate greatly, it is really not impossible for Lin Ying to win the MVP!

then……

Two days later.

The Nets challenge the Bulls away from home.

81 to 96.

The score can't fully explain the problem. The two sides played a garbage time.

In fact, at the end of the third quarter, the Bulls had already widened the point difference to 20 points.

And a bigger problem than this point difference is that Lin Ying only took 11 shots in this game.

Although it was only the number of shots taken in three quarters, it was far more than the number of shots taken in the first week.

It was Deron who took the most shots on the Nets. He took 16 shots in the three quarters.

How many shots you take is actually not the main issue. After all, whoever feels better will take more shots.

The problem is that Deron takes a lot of shots, but his touch is not good.

Even at the beginning of the second half, the Nets were only behind the Bulls by single digits.

Delong wanted to prove himself too much.

The result was that his continuous shots, even ignoring Lin Ying's attempts to get the ball, directly caused the Bulls to counterattack and take away the game.

Coincidentally, in the next game against the Celtics, Deron repeated the same thing.

Only this time it was not in the third quarter, but in the final decisive moment.

His two missed attempts at critical moments cost the Nets their victory.

Just after the game, Nets fans who had already complained about Deron directly started complaining on social media.

"If Deron had been replaced by Paul, we would still be No. 1 in the Eastern Conference."

"Lin's fight couldn't be better, but he just can't bring Deron back!"

"It turns out that Deron is really a system player. Without Sloan, he is nothing!"

"Walken Dean, send Deron away quickly while there is still trading value, otherwise you will really lose your money!"

…

On this day, the team was training in Newark, and the Nets' training atmosphere was particularly depressing.

Johnson is originally a very strict person, and with the current poor condition of the team, the situation can be imagined.

That is, before the training was over, Dean Walken came to the training hall and called Deron out.

He took Delong directly to the office and even closed the door.

"Deron, you should know that only by giving the ball to Lin can we win more games."

Warken Dean put it more directly.

Not long ago, he was promoted to vice president of the team and part-time general manager of the team. His status is much higher than before.

"I see."

To Walker Dean's expectation, Deron had no intention of arguing.

This made him use all the rhetoric he had prepared.

It feels like a punch on cotton.

He reached out and patted Delong on the shoulder, and then said something sincerely:

"I know you want to prove yourself, but rather than heroism, if you and Lin win the game together, isn't that a better response to the doubts from the outside world?"

Delong paused for a moment, said nothing, and finally turned around and left the office.

Looking at Deron's back, Walken Dean couldn't help but shook his head.

He doesn't have much affection for Deron, and the original trade for Deron was done because Prokhorov acquired the Nets and asked to recruit stars.

If Deron continues to be in this state in the following games, he doesn't mind sending Deron away.

The NBA is cruel, and Lin Ying deserves a better helper after such a good season.

Warken Dean's persuasion did not have the expected effect.

Even, some are counterproductive.

In the Nets' next game against the Pacers, Deron only took 5 shots in the game and scored 6 points and 6 assists.

Although Lin Ying's performance of 32 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, 4 steals and 3 blocks, the Nets still narrowly defeated the Pacers.

The next two games were basically a replica of this.

Delong has become "virtue does not attack".

This seems to be moving from one extreme to another stage.

It's a familiar scene. Kobe Bryant often did this when he was trolled by fans in Los Angeles.

Then in these two games, the Nets won one and lost one, winning the Magic and losing the Thunder.

With 2 wins and 1 loss, it seems that Deron is okay if he doesn't attack, but a small detail after the loss to the Thunder is hard to explain.

After Lin Ying finished the game, he immediately wrapped himself in an ice pack and had a massage.

He really integrates offense and defense. As a father and a mother, he just has to play the whole game!

After all, basketball is not a one-person sport.

As for the composition of the Nets, except for Lin Ying and Deron, everyone else is either too young or purely a role player.

If Lin Ying plays alone, even if he lays the foundation, he is likely to suffer the same injuries as last season.

In terms of endurance, the bodies of yellow people are destined to be worse than those of black people.

The Nets' next opponent is the Jazz.

On the plane to Utah, Lin Ying took the initiative to sit next to Delong and chatted with him about some topics.

With Denver's experience, he knows how much harm the team will have if conflicts between the two cores occur.

Delong smiled and communicated with Lin Ying.

Lin Ying could feel that unlike Anthony back then, Deron didn't seem to have any objections to him.
Chapter completed!
