Lin Ying's frontcourt attack went wide.

The rebound was taken by Green, and the Warriors quickly launched a defensive counterattack.

Lin Ying pursued the defense hard, blocking shots alternately with his right hand and left hand in the air, and missed Curry's layup.

A shot that made Curry feel desperate.

But after landing, Lin Ying took a breath.

His physical fitness has already begun to have problems in advance.

He played very much like James in G6 of the Eastern Conference Finals last season...

In the first half, he tried his best to help the team maintain the point difference, but in the second half, he had to make an early effort.

Even a physical monster can't withstand such torture.

And he can't leave now.

Because as long as he plays, the Warriors will immediately show the Nets what it means to be "Yong San crazy".

Lin Ying gritted his teeth and finished the third quarter, but after three quarters, the Warriors had already opened the point difference to 8 points.

The Warriors beat the Nets by 13 points in this quarter.

This had a great impact on the Nets fans at the scene.

Because in the past two seasons, the third quarter has been "Brooklyn time."

But as Breen said in the commentary box, Brooklyn's "clock" seemed to be broken tonight.

And the impact is not over yet.

In the fourth quarter, Lin Ying was forced to come out again shortly after resting, and his efficiency inevitably declined.

After four quarters of fierce fighting, the Warriors turned away and defeated the Nets 122-108.

The Nets lost the opening game.

Lin Ying scored 52 points in the game, but in the end it turned into an empty score.

This game also attracted heated discussion among fans after the game.

The discussion points mainly focus on two points.

One is whether the Nets still have the strength to win the championship.

The second is what level of team the Warriors are.

These two points can actually be summarized into one point, because when the two teams play against each other, they are reference points for each other.

If the Nets' strength has not declined so seriously, then the Warriors are very strong.

On the contrary, the Nets have suffered a serious decline.

Moreover, Lin Ying scored 50+ points in this game and still lost. Coupled with the difficulty of the Nets defending the title last year, this is not a simple issue of inaccurate "one-game theory".

At the end of the discussion, the second voice prevailed, that is, the argument that the Nets' strength has declined seriously.

Because after all, not many people are willing to believe that the Warriors have become a championship contending team with no changes to their lineup and only a new head coach.

After reaching this conclusion, the Nets suffered considerable pressure from external public opinion.

…

The day after the opening game, the Nets' life was still the same.

For a team that has won two consecutive championships, the outcome of one game will not have much impact on them.

McMillan is leading the team in training, and the core part of the training is still to help the veterans find their form.

For the current Nets, the status of role players is online, and Lin Ying is not a problem. The problem is veterans like Deron and Johnson.

They are not required to return to their peak, as long as they can return to 80% or even 70% of their original strength, the Nets still have a great chance of completing their dynasty.

In the coaching office at Barclays Center, Karl and Tyronn Lue were discussing the use of Jokic.

After Cole was poached by the Warriors, the Nets also poached Tyronn Lue from the Clippers with a four-year, $6.5 million contract.

Lue's salary is the same as McMillan's, which means the Nets have two first assistant coaches at the same time this season.

"I think it's okay."

Karl talked to Lu about putting Jokic on the active list for the next game, and Lu agreed.

And, he didn't just agree.

"I think the playing time of veterans can be reduced and the time of young players, such as Nikola, can be increased. I think it is not impossible to put them into the rotation."

Lu's idea was still very radical, and even Karl was shocked.

Lu quickly gave the reason why he said this.

"In the last game, we could see that the veterans lacked fighting spirit. This is understandable. We are a team that has won two consecutive championships. We are like a couple who have been married for a long time and lack passion, so we need to create some excitement and threats for them.

.”

Lu's words made Karl think deeply.

He thought for a while, and finally said to Lu with a smile:

"You know how to play football!"

Carl is 64 years old and has a straightforward personality, while Lu is only 37 years old.

Moreover, Lu's plan was indeed in line with his wishes, and Jokic's passion and precise judgment on the sidelines in the opening game really infected him.

He decided to give this idea a try.

…

The Nets' daily training ends.

Deron went to the infirmary for treatment as usual, and Johnson also went to the locker room to apply ice to himself.

Lin Ying also stayed to practice as usual.

But this time there was a "caddie" by his side.

Jokic only returned to the training ground after confirming Bradley's departure.

Well, same as last time.

Bradley probably didn't expect that Jokic, who had made an appointment with him to come to the arena early for training tomorrow morning, would actually do this.

This is the world of involution.

But this time Jokic is not only caddying for Lin Ying, he himself also conducts three-point training during Lin Ying's break.

Moreover, some success has been achieved.

Lin Ying drank water on the sidelines and watched Jokic shoot a three-pointer, and there was a long-lost envy in his eyes.

The talent of "Pork Belly" is really great.

It has only been a short time, but this guy's three-point shooting is already impressive.

You can't understand an unconventional player in a conventional way.

"Nicholas, why are you suddenly serious?"

After watching for a while, Lin Ying couldn't help but ask.

Jokic's talent is very good, but there is one thing: he and Lin Ying Butler are not the same type of people.

He doesn't like extra training, and he feels a bit like Howard.

This guy prefers to play "happy" basketball.

"I want to be able to play early, it doesn't feel good to sit on the sidelines."

Jokic is very practical.

And what he added later made Lin Ying laugh,

"And you can only sit on the ground."

"What determines when you play is your weight."

Lin Ying smiled and replied.

Another thing that lets Lin Ying know that Jokic and he are not the same kind of people is Jokic's weight loss.

He originally thought that Jokic was his ardent fan, and he gave Pittman's phone number. This guy should be able to lose weight soon.

Including Walken Dean told him the same thing on the phone before.

But it turns out that losing weight is really not that easy for Jokic.

In addition to not liking hard training, he also has a physique that is prone to obesity.

"So before I can play, I must practice my three-point shooting."

Jokic said with a smile.
